Download or read book The Mendacious Colours of Democracy written by Alex Rubner and published by Andrews UK Limited. This book was released on 2013-06-18 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Politics is a noble, but also a dirty, business. To gain election - and retain office - in a democratic system, politicians are frequently compelled to be dishonest. They engage in benevolent lying because obstruction by stupid voters will otherwise stop them advancing the national interest as they see it.' So claims the author of this eye-opening book, which straddles politics, philosophy, morality and economics. Alex Rubner's own background as an economist advising policy-makers gives authority to his words and a personal dimension to his illustrations.
Download or read book Black Tide written by Antonia Juhasz and published by Turner Publishing Company. This book was released on 2011-03-16 with total page 418 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A searing look at the human face of BP's disaster in the gulf It is the largest oil disaster in American history, and it could happen again. It is more than a story of ruined beaches, dead wildlife, corporate spin, political machinations, and financial fallout. It is a riveting human drama filled with people whose lives will forever be defined as "before" and "after the gulf oil disaster." Black Tide is the only book to tell this story through the perspective of people on all sides of the catastrophe, from those who lost their lives, loved ones, and livelihoods to those who made the policies that set the devastating event in motion, those who cut the corners that put corporate profits over people and the environment, and those who have committed their lives to ensuring that such an event is never repeated. Dramatic and compelling, Black Tide exposes the human failings and human cost of the largest oil disaster in American history and how it could easily happen again. "We cannot allow the BP disaster to be pushed from public view the way BP used chemical dispersants to hide the oil. These remarkable stories-of loss, heroism and culpability-are a vivid reminder that this catastrophe will be with us for decades, and that we have not yet made the changes necessary to prevent destruction in the future." -Naomi Klein, author of The Shock Doctrine: The Rise of Disaster Capitalism. "It's hard to imagine a better person to turn loose on this epochal disaster than Antonia Juhasz, with her compassionate heart, vivid prose, and rich expertise in both oil and economic policy. From oil-smeared beaches, to the drilling rig's control room, to the big picture of Big Oil and the governments they push around. It's not just about disaster: it's a series of encounters with real people, from oceanographers to oyster-shuckers, striving to make things right. Black Tide is riveting, infuriating, and incredibly important. -Rebecca Solnit, author of A Paradise Built in Hell: The Extraordinary Communities that Arise in Disaster Praise for The Tyranny of Oil "Reminds us that those who don't learn the lessons of history are fated to repeat its mistakes." -USA Today "[A] timely, blistering critique . . . white-hot" -Kirkus starred review "[A] thorough, readable takedown of Big Oil." -Publishers Weekly "Abrave, groundbreaking case study. . . . A good first step toward true energy independence is to read this insightful book." -The Christian Science Monitor

Download or read book Acts of Undressing written by Barbara Brownie and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2016-11-03 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The act of undressing has a multitude of meanings, which vary dramatically when this commonly private gesture is presented for public consumption. This ground-breaking book explores the significance of undressing in various cultural and social contexts. As we are increasingly obsessed with dress choices as signifiers of who we are and how we feel, an investigation into what happens as we remove our clothes has never been more pertinent. Exploring three main issues - politics, tease, and clothes without bodies - Acts of Undressing discusses these key themes through an in-depth and eclectic mix of case studies including flashing at Mardi Gras, the World Burlesque Games, and 'shoefiti' used by gangs to mark territories. Building on leading theories of dress and the body, from academics including Roland Barthes and Mario Perniolato, Ruth Barcan and Erving Goffman, Acts of Undressing is essential reading for students of fashion, sociology, anthropology, visual culture, and related subjects.
Download or read book Against Conceptual Poetry written by Ron Silliman and published by Counterpath. This book was released on 2014-05-14 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If you search on references to Ron Silliman in Against Expression: An Anthology of Conceptual Writing, edited by Craig Dworkin and Kenneth Goldsmith (Northwestern University Press, 2011), you find the following: table of contents, pg. xv, Ron Silliman, 531, from Sunset Debris, 28; In the opening to Great Expectations: A Novel (New York: Grove, 1983), Kathy Acker appropriates, deforms, summarizes, and rewrites passages from Charles Dickens’s Great Expectations and Pierre Guyotat’s Eden, Eden, Eden to solve the equation plagiarism + pornography = autobiography. For the formulation of this equivalence, see Ron Silliman‘s “E-Mail Interview” (Quarry West 34 [1998]: 13). 53; as is the entirety of Ron Silliman‘s “Sunset Debris.” In an interview with Tom Beckett, Silliman explains that “every sentence is supposed to remind the reader of his or her inability to respond” (The Difficulties 2, no. 2 [1985], 45). But the work has in fact provoked rather than stifled response. In the Tapeworm Foundry, Daren Wershler proposes that one “write a poem answering in order of occurrence all of the questions posed by ron silliman in sunset debris.” Following a pioneering attempt by Michael Waltuch and Alan Davies’s poem “?s to .s”, which set out to answer all of the interrogatives in Silliman‘s related Chinese Notebook, several poets have taken up Wershler’s challenge, including Arielle Brousse (in Tapeworm: A Collaborative Exhibition [Philadelphia: Kelly Writers House, 2008]) and Christian Bök in Busted Sirens (in Interval(le)s 2.2–3.1 [2008–9]: 142–47. 117; Christian Bök composed Busted Sirens by feeding the questions from Ron Silliman‘s “Sunset Debris” to the XML-dialect software agent Alicebot (Artificial Linguistic Internet Computer Entity Robot). 222; Robert Fitterman here performs a grammatical analysis of Ernest Hemingway’s The Sun Also Rises, eliminating all sentences that do not begin with the first person singular pronoun. The result reads very much like Ron Silliman‘s “Berkeley” (This 5 [Winter 1974]: n.p.) 415; Little and much / Low and high / Rotten and fresh. —Ron Silliman 418; Other examples of homophonic translation include Ron Silliman‘s rendition of Rilke’s Duino Elegies as “Do We Know Ella Cheese?” (Roof 5, 1978) 531; John Cage claimed that he often found questions more interesting than answers. Ron Silliman, echoing Cage’s sentiment, constructed an entire section of his book The Age of Huts (New York: Roof, 1986) from nearly forty pages of questions. Ranging from the personal to the found to the absurd, Silliman‘s gesture serves to displace the authorial figure, as well as any notion of a stabilized, centered text. Instead, what we get is a glimpse twenty years ahead into the age of electronic writing and information management, where language is material to be collected and collated, consumed and manipulated, for its own sake. 593; Ron Silliman. “Sunset Debris” (excerpt) from Age of Huts (compleat).

Download or read book The Judge Lied written by Yinka Bamgbelu and published by Strategic Book Publishing & Rights Agency. This book was released on 2014-09-18 with total page 750 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Judge Lied: True Story “Someone must be trusted, let it be the judges.” –Lord Denning “Transparent, equality, and EXACT laws.” – President Thomas Jefferson In recent years, there has been a rising crescendo of complaint over the legitimacy – sometimes even the honesty – of particular judicial conduct. From political conservatives come charges that judges are overriding the will of the people as expressed in statute and referenda relating to abortions, gay rights, affirmative action, religion, and other subjects. From political liberals come charges of bias against women, sexual misconduct, harshness towards the interest of minorities, and forced imposition of deeply conservative political views. From both sides come charges of overriding the people’s views and protecting the professional politicians by striking down term limits. From all venues, even high-priced corporate lawyers, comes tyrannical and arbitrary conduct by trial judges. Misuse of position and even bribery are known to have sometimes existed. Beyond these matters, one dean of a law school’s thirty-four years as a law professor and litigator persuaded him that there is yet another problem, one that is widespread. It is that judges too often are unwilling to listen to facts or reasons. They start with predilections heavily favouring one side; predilections, which they, of course, deny, and then prove impervious to facts and resulting reasons contrary to their bias. When judges act on the basis of their prior predilection, ignore facts, and even make up supposed counter facts, they destroy a central tenet of the judicial system: the decision of cases based upon facts rather than prejudice. They also destroy faith in the judicial system.
