Download or read book Billionaire Wilderness written by Justin Farrell and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2021-03-02 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Billionaire Wilderness offers an unprecedented look inside the world of the ultra-wealthy and their relationship to the natural world, showing how the ultra-rich use nature to resolve key predicaments in their lives. Justin Farrell immerses himself in Teton County, Wyoming--both the richest county in the United States and the county with the nation's highest level of income inequality--to investigate interconnected questions about money, nature, and community in the twenty-first century. Farrell draws on three years of in-depth interviews with "ordinary" millionaires and the world's wealthiest billionaires, four years of in-person observation in the community, and original quantitative data to provide comprehensive and unique analytical insight on the ultra-wealthy. He also interviewed low-income workers who could speak to their experiences as employees for and members of the community with these wealthy people. He finds that the wealthy leverage nature to climb even higher on the socioeconomic ladder, and they use their engagement with nature and rural people as a way of creating more virtuous and deserving versions of themselves. Billionaire Wilderness demonstrates that our contemporary understanding of the relationship between the ultra-wealthy and the environment is empirically shallow, and our reliance on reports of national economic trends distances us from the real experiences of these people and their local communities"--

Book excerpt: English Corpora under Japanese Eyes is a fine collection of papers written in commemoration of the 10th anniversary of the Japan Association of English Corpus Studies (JAECS). Beginning with the overview of the field by Stig Johansson, an honorary member of the JAECS, the present volume shows the state-of-art in English corpus studies in Japan and demonstrates the creative uses of corpora in a wide range of research topics from studies drawing on large-scale general corpora, such as British National Corpus and the Bank of English, to studies based on more specific, historical, literary, learner and parallel corpora. The papers incorporated in this anthology are grouped into five sections: 1) Overview of corpus-based studies, 2) Corpus-based studies of contemporary English, 3) Historical and diachronic studies of English, 4) Corpus-based studies in English literature, 5) Corpus and English language teaching. This volume will inspire still further corpus exploitation in the broader field of the humanities.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The story opens in 1962 a few miles south of San Francisco. Brian Conners, a freshman in college, majoring in cartoon animation and drama, has just broken up with his girlfriend of 3 years. Brian meets Lee Thorndyke at an 8AM creative writing class. Lee invites Brian to a Mung City party at his parents house in the posh town of Hillsborough. Several hundred bacchanalian and maenad party mongers, wearing togas, sarongs, buskins and wreaths were dancing the Dipsomania Shuffle in the street. They all looked professional. After looting vintage wines from a cabana bar, Brian recites some gibberish poetry and is admitted into Mung City, being granted the honorary title of Silenus, a companion to the god of wine, Dionysus. From high up in a tree at a Tarzan and Jane party, wearing furry breeches, Brian spots Nicole. Brian has his first date with the girl of his dreams, Nicole. Watching Nicole and two of her girlfriends perform Beethovens Opus 56 in C major at a church in San Mateo, Brian falls madly in love with Nicole. Nicole and Brian, and another couple encounter a horrifying storm on the way to Clearlake for some serious water skiing competition. The road is too dangerous to continue so they check into a motel. Lying in bed together becomes a delightful habit until they get busted by Nicoles mother at Brians cottage, two houses away from Nicoles house. They are caught again, dancing in their underwear aboard Nicoles parents yacht by her father. Nicole attends a Mung City bash for the first time. The maenads are dressed as flapper molls and the bacchanalians are dressed as mobsters. Lee and 3 of his good friends strap on electric guitars and perform the rock opera ballet Bacchanalian Romp. Nicole and her bitch friend find a girl stashed inside a closet in Brians cottage. With the help of his good friends, Brian manages to convince Nicole that it was sheer happenstance. Nicole takes Brian to her sacred hideaway, a cave on one of the Farralon Islands. Brian is shocked when he finds out that Lee has taken acid when he asks him to be one of his six best-men at his wedding. The wedding preparations begin. Brian is in for some incredible surprises on the day he marries Nicole at the Grace Cathedral on Nob Hill in San Francisco. Bacchanalian Romp is a smash hit on Broadway.

Download or read book Philosophers in the Technological Age written by Ulrich Richter Morales and published by Océano. This book was released on 2023-04-26 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Greek philosophers built great discussions about reality, which are still current in our times and still inspire today's great thinkers. From mathematical teachings by Pythagoras, encompassing Plato's and Aristotle's ideas, these great discussions have been essential for our present intelectual development. Today, however, this role has been adopted by a new class of visionaries. Brought together by this new Platonic Academy based in Stanford University; devoted to proving and making use of the supremacy of numbers and mathematics in the digital world; intent on finding the new Holy Grail embodied in the perfect algorithm, present time's entrepreneurs of new technologies have radically transformed, for good or otherwise, the world as we know it. Ulrich Richter Morales delves deep into the legacy – sometimes clear, sometimes mystical and esoteric – of the Pythagoreans in their diverse historical incarnations. He particularly emphasizes their dominant role in these digital times, while he introduces a debate regarding the sort of machines we ought to develop. Elon Musk, Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos, Larry Page and Sergey Brin, among others, are declared heirs of the Mathematician from Samos and, always engrossed in polemic discussions, they are inseparable from our concept of how the world works. Getting to know them as persons and as thinkers is a way to better understand modern day life and our role as citizens, in the unstable, volatile grounds we tread on today.

Download or read book Crisis of the Wasteful Nation written by Ian Tyrrell and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2015-01-19 with total page 366 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Long before people were “going green” and toting reusable bags, the Progressive generation of the early 1900s was calling for the conservation of resources, sustainable foresting practices, and restrictions on hunting. Industrial commodities such as wood, water, soil, coal, and oil, as well as improvements in human health and the protection of “nature” in an aesthetic sense, were collectively seen for the first time as central to the country’s economic well-being, moral integrity, and international power. One of the key drivers in the rise of the conservation movement was Theodore Roosevelt, who, even as he slaughtered animals as a hunter, fought to protect the country’s natural resources. In Crisis of the Wasteful Nation, Ian Tyrrell gives us a cohesive picture of Roosevelt’s engagement with the natural world along with a compelling portrait of how Americans used, wasted, and worried about natural resources in a time of burgeoning empire. Countering traditional narratives that cast conservation as a purely domestic issue, Tyrrell shows that the movement had global significance, playing a key role in domestic security and in defining American interests around the world. Tyrrell goes beyond Roosevelt to encompass other conservation advocates and policy makers, particularly those engaged with shaping the nation’s economic and social policies—policies built on an understanding of the importance of crucial natural resources. Crisis of the Wasteful Nation is a sweeping transnational work that blends environmental, economic, and imperial history into a cohesive tale of America’s fraught relationships with raw materials, other countries, and the animal kingdom.
