＜p＞＜strong＞ONE OF ＜em＞THE HOLLYWOOD REPORTER＜/em＞'S 100 GREATEST FILM BOOKS OF ALL TIME ? From one of our most distinguished film scholars, comes a rich, penetrating, amusing book about the golden age of movies and how the studios worked to manufacture stars.＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞With revelatory insights and delightful asides, Jeanine Basinger shows us how the studio “star machine” worked when it worked, how it failed when it didn't, and how irrelevant it could sometimes be. She gives us case studies focusing on big stars groomed into the system: the “awesomely beautiful” (and disillusioned) Tyrone Power; the seductive, disobedient Lana Turner; and a dazzling cast of others. She anatomizes their careers, showing how their fame happened, and what happened to them as a result. Deeply engrossing, full of energy, wit, and wisdom, ＜strong＞The Star Machine＜/strong＞ is destined to become an classic of the film canon.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

＜p＞＜strong＞A groundbreaking feminist perspective on ＜em＞Movimiento al Socialismo＜/em＞ (MAS) rule in Bolivia and the country’s radical transformation under Evo Morales＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞The presidency of Evo Morales in Bolivia (2006?2019) has produced considerable academic scholarship, much of it focused on indigenous social movements or extractivism, and often triumphalist about the successes of Morales’s ＜em＞Movimiento al Socialismo＜/em＞ (MAS). Turning a new lens on the movement, ＜em＞Cash, Clothes, and Construction＜/em＞ presents the first gender-based analysis of “pluri-economy,” a central pillar of Bolivia’s program under Morales, evaluating the potential of this vision of “an economy where all economies fit” to embrace feminist critiques of capitalism and economic diversity.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Based on more than twelve years of empirical research exploring the remarkable transformations in Bolivia since 2006, this book focuses on three sectorsーfinance, clothing, and constructionーin which indigenous women have defied gendered expectations. Kate Maclean presents detailed case studies of women selling secondhand high street clothes from the United States in the vast, peri-urban markets of Bolivian cities; Aymaran designers of new ＜em＞pollera＜/em＞ (traditional Andean dress) fashions, one of whom exhibited her collection in New York City; and the powerful and rich ＜em＞chola pace?a,＜/em＞ whose real estate investments have transformed the cultural maps of La Paz and El Alto.＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜em＞Cash, Clothes, and Construction＜/em＞ offers a gendered analysis of the mission of MAS to dismantle neoliberalism and decolonize politics and economy from the perspective of the Indigenous women who have radically transformed Bolivia’s economy from the ground up.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

＜p＞＜strong＞Examines how radical bookstores and similar spaces serve as launching pads for social movements＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞How does social change happen? It requires an identified problem, an impassioned and committed group, a catalyst, and a plan. In this deeply researched consideration of seventy-seven stores and establishments, Kimberley Kinder argues that activists also need autonomous space for organizing, and that these spaces are made, not found. She explores the remarkably enduring presence of radical bookstores in America and how they provide infrastructure for organizingーgathering places, retail offerings that draw new people into what she calls “counterspaces.”＜/p＞ ＜p＞Kinder focuses on brick-and-mortar venues where owners approach their businesses primarily as social movement tools. These may be bookstores, infoshops, libraries, knowledge cafes, community centers, publishing collectives, thrift stores, or art installations. They are run by activist-entrepreneurs who create centers for organizing and selling books to pay the rent. These spaces allow radical and contentious ideas to be explored and percolate through to actual social movements, and serve as crucibles for activists to challenge capitalism, imperialism, white privilege, patriarchy, and homophobia. They also exist within a central paradox: participating in the marketplace creates tensions, contradictions, and shortfalls. Activist retail does not end capitalism; collective ownership does not enable a retreat from civic requirements like zoning; and donations, no matter how generous, do not offset the enormous power of corporations and governments.＜/p＞ ＜p＞In this timely and relevant book, Kinder presents a necessary, novel, and apt analysis of the role these retail spaces play in radical organizing, one that demonstrates how such durable hubs manage to persist, often for decades, between the spikes of public protest.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

＜p＞In the late nineteenth century, the North Woods offered people little in the way of a pleasant escape. Rather, it was a hub of production supplying industrial America with vast quantities of lumber and mineral ore. This book tells the story of how northern Minnesota, northern Wisconsin, and Michigan’s Upper Peninsula became a tourist paradise, turning a scarred countryside into the playground we know today.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Stripped of much of its timber and ore by the early 1900s, the North Woods experienced deindustrialization earlier than the Rust Belt cities that consumed its resources. In ＜em＞The Lure of the North Woods＜/em＞, Aaron Shapiro describes how residents and visitors reshaped the region from a landscape of exploitation to a vacationland. The rejuvenating North Woods profited in new ways by drawing on emerging connections between the urban and the rural, including improved transportation, promotion, recreational land use, and conservation initiatives. Shapiro demonstrates how this transformation helps explain the interwar origins of modern American environmentalism, when both the consumption of nature for pleasure and the work of the Civilian Conservation Corps in the North Woods and elsewhere led many Americans to cultivate a fresh perspective on the outdoors. At a time when travel and recreation are considered major economic forces, ＜em＞The Lure of the North Woods＜/em＞ reveals how leisureーand tourism in particularーhas shaped modern America.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

＜p＞If capitalism is such an efficient system, why does 40 percent of all U.S. food production go to wasteーwhile one in six people in the nation face hunger? This startling truth has stirred increasing interest and action of late, but none so radical as that of the freegans, who live on what capitalism throws awayーincluding food culled from supermarket dumpsters. ＜em＞Freegans i＜/em＞s a close look at the people in this movement, offering a broader perspective on ethical consumption and the changing nature of capitalism.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Freegans object to the overconsumption and environmental degradation on which they claim our economic order depends, and they register that dissent by opting out of it, recovering, redistributing, and consuming wasted goods, from dumpster-dived food to cast-off clothes and furniture. Through several years of fieldwork and in-depth interviews with freegans in New York City, Alex Barnard has created a portrait of freegans that leads to questions about ethical consumptionーlike buying organic, fair trade, or veganーand the search for effective forms of action in an era of political disillusionment.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Barnard’s analysis of this pressing concern reveals how waste is integrally bound up with our food system. At the same time, by showing that markets do not seamlessly translate preferences expressed at the cash register into changes in production, Freega＜em＞ns＜/em＞ exposes the limits of consumer activism.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

＜p＞“Has there ever been a better reason to shop?” asks an ad for the Product RED American Express card, telling members who use the card that buying “cappuccinos or cashmere” will help to fight AIDS in Africa. Cofounded in 2006 by the rock star Bono, Product RED has been a particularly successful example of a new trend in celebrity-driven international aid and development, one explicitly linked to commerce, not philanthropy.＜/p＞ ＜p＞In ＜em＞Brand Aid,＜/em＞ Lisa Ann Richey and Stefano Ponte offer a deeply informed and stinging critique of “compassionate consumption.” Campaigns like Product RED and its precursors, such as Lance Armstrong’s Livestrong and the pink-ribbon project in support of breast cancer research, advance the expansion of consumption far more than they meet the needs of the people they ostensibly serve. At the same time, such campaigns sell both the suffering of Africans with AIDS (in the case of Product RED) and the power of the average consumer to ameliorate it through familiar and highly effective media representations.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Using Product RED as its focal point, this book explores how corporations like American Express, Armani, Gap, and Hallmark promote compassionate consumption to improve their ethical profile and value without significantly altering their business model, protecting themselves from the threat to their bottom lines posed by a genuinely engaged consumer activism. Coupled with the phenomenon of celebrity activism and expertise as embodied by Bono, Richey and Ponte argue that this “causumerism” represents a deeply troubling shift in relief efforts, effectively delinking the relationship between capitalist production and global poverty.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

＜p＞＜strong＞A major, new, and comprehensive look at six decades of macroeconomic policies across the region＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞What went wrong with the economic development of Latin America over the past half-century? Along with periods of poor economic performance, the region’s countries have been plagued by a wide variety of economic crises. This major new work brings together dozens of leading economists to explore the economic performance of the ten largest countries in South America and of Mexico. Together they advance the fundamental hypothesis that, despite different manifestations, these crises all have been the result of poorly designed or poorly implemented fiscal and monetary policies.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Each country is treated in its own section of the book, with a lead chapter presenting a comprehensive database of the country’s fiscal, monetary, and economic data from 1960 to 2017. The chapters are drawn from one-day academic conferencesーhosted in all but one case, in the focus countryーwith participants including noted economists and former leading policy makers. Cowritten with Nobel Prize winner Thomas J. Sargent, the editors’ introduction provides a conceptual framework for analyzing fiscal and monetary policy in countries around the world, particularly those less developed. A final chapter draws conclusions and suggests directions for further research.＜/p＞ ＜p＞A vital resource for advanced undergraduate and graduate students of economics and for economic researchers and policy makers, ＜em＞A Monetary and Fiscal History of Latin America, 1960?2017＜/em＞ goes further than any book in stressing both the singularities and the similarities of the economic histories of Latin America’s largest countries.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Contributors: Mark Aguiar, Princeton U; Fernando Alvarez, U of Chicago; Manuel Amador, U of Minnesota; Joao Ayres, Inter-American Development Bank; Saki Bigio, UCLA; Luigi Bocola, Stanford U; Francisco J.

＜p＞＜strong＞Imagine: You are designing a society, but you don't know who you'll be within itーrich or poor, man or woman, gay or straight. What would you want that society to look like?＜/strong＞ This is the revolutionary thought experiment proposed by the twentieth century's greatest political philosopher, John Rawls.

Wird ein Mensch ?ber einen l?ngeren Zeitraum in die Mangel genommen und niemand hilft, dann ist dies Mobbing, Psychoterror am Arbeitsplatz. F?r das Opfer kann er am Ende zum Verlust des Arbeitsplatzes, zu dauernder Krankheit und Arbeitsunf?higkeit f?hren.＜br /＞ Als Heinz Leymann seine Forschungsergebnisse und dieses Buch vor rund zwei Jahrzehnten ver?ffentlichte, l?ste das eine Welle der Zustimmung und Betroffenheit aus. Zum ersten Mal wurde auf den Begriff gebracht, wie und warum Hunderttausenden am Arbeitsplatz ?bel mitgespielt wird. Mobbing, so stellte Leymann heraus, hat nichts mit der Pers?nlichkeit des Opfers zu tun. Es kann jeden treffen. Damit begann in Wissenschaft, Gewerkschaften, Kirchen und Justiz eine Besch?ftigung mit Mobbing, die bis heute anh?lt. Das Buch ist inzwischen ein Klassiker, und Leymanns mit vielen Fallbeispielen belegte Definition und Erkl?rung des Ph?nomens ist immer noch grundlegend. Dasselbe gilt f?r seine Hinweise, wie die Mobbingspirale fr?hzeitig gestoppt und wie Opfern geholfen werden kann.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

＜p＞Mind Mapping ? das ist eine spezielle Art, sich Notizen zu machen.

So kann man besser lernen, planen und organisieren sowie Referate oder Pr?sentationen strukturieren. In diesem Buch wird die Methode des Mind Mapping, die ? vom Sch?ler bis zum Manager ? jeder nutzen kann, klar und anschaulich vorgestellt. ?bungen und kleine Aufgaben zeigen schon w?hrend der Lekt?re, wie Mind Maps funktionieren.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

＜p＞In 1901, the Northern Pacific was an unlikely prize: a twice-bankrupt construction of the federal government, it was a two-bit railroad (literallyーfive years back, its stock traded for twenty-five cents a share). But it was also a key to connecting eastern markets through Chicago to the rising West. Two titans of American railroads set their sights on it: James J. Hill, head of the Great Northern and largest individual shareholder of the Northern Pacific, and Edward Harriman, head of the Union Pacific and the Southern Pacific. The subsequent contest was unprecedented in the history of American enterprise, pitting not only Hill against Harriman but also Big Oil against Big Steel and J. P. Morgan against the Rockefellers, with a supporting cast of enough wealthy investors to fill the ballroom of the Waldorf Astoria.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The story, told here in full for the first time, transports us to the New York Stock Exchange during the unfolding of the earliest modern-day stock market panic. ＜em＞Harriman vs. Hill＜/em＞ re-creates the drama of four tumultuous days in May 1901, when the common stock of the Northern Pacific rocketed from one hundred ten dollars a share to one thousand in a mere seventeen hours of tradingーthe result of an inadvertent “corner” caused by the opposing forces. Panic followed and then, in short order, a calamity for the “shorts,” a compromise, the near-collapse of Wall Street brokerages and banks, the most precipitous decline ever in American stock values, and the fastest recovery. Larry Haeg brings to life the ensuing stalemate and truce, which led to the forming of a holding company, briefly the biggest railroad combine in American history, and the U.S. Supreme Court ruling against the deal, launching the reputation of Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes as the “great dissenter” and President Theodore Roosevelt as the “trust buster.” The forces of competition and combination, unfettered growth, government regulation, and corporate ambitionーall the elements of American business at its best and worstーcome into play in the account of this epic battle, whose effects echo through our economy to this day.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

＜p＞The history of the ＜em＞maquiladoras＜/em＞ has been punctuated by workers’ organized resistance to abysmal working and living conditions. Over years of involvement in such movements, Rosemary Hennessy was struck by an elusive but significant feature of these struggles: the extent to which organizing is driven by attachments of affection and antagonism, belief, betrayal, and identification.＜/p＞ ＜p＞What precisely is the “affective” dimension of organizing for justice? Are affects and emotions the same? And how can their value be calculated? ＜em＞Fires on the Border＜/em＞ takes up these questions of labor and community organizingーits “affect-culture”ーon Mexico’s northern border from the early 1970s to the present day. Through these campaigns, Hennessy illuminates the attachments and identifications that motivate people to act on behalf of one another and that bind them to a common cause. The book’s unsettling, even jarring, narratives bring together empirical and ethnographic accountsーof specific campaigns, the untold stories of gay and lesbian organizers, love and utopian longingーin concert with materialist theories of affect and the critical good sense of Mexican organizers.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Teasing out the integration of affect-culture in economic relations and cultural processes, Hennessy provides evidence that sexuality and gender as strong affect attractors are incorporated in the harvesting of surplus labor. At the same time, workers’ testimonies confirm that the capacities for bonding and affective attachment, far from being entirely at the service of capital, are at the very heart of social movements devoted to sustaining life.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

＜p＞＜em＞＜em＞From “one of the great (greatest?) contemporary popular writers on economics” (Tyler Cowen) comes a smart, lively, and encouraging rethinking of how to use statistics＜/em＞.＜/em＞**＜/p＞ ＜p＞Today we think statistics are the enemy, numbers used to mislead and confuse us. That’s a mistake, Tim Harford says in ＜em＞The Data Detective＜/em＞. We shouldn’t be suspicious of statisticsーwe need to understand what they mean and how they can improve our lives: they are, at heart, human behavior seen through the prism of numbers and are often “the only way of grasping much of what is going on around us.” If we can toss aside our fears and learn to approach them clearlyーunderstanding how our own preconceptions lead us astrayーstatistics can point to ways we can live better and work smarter.＜/p＞ ＜p＞As “perhaps the best popular economics writer in the world” (＜em＞New Statesman＜/em＞), Tim Harford is an expert at taking complicated ideas and untangling them for millions of readers. In ＜em＞The Data Detective＜/em＞, he uses new research in science and psychology to set out ten strategies for using statistics to erase our biases and replace them with new ideas that use virtues like patience, curiosity, and good sense to better understand ourselves and the world. As a result, ＜em＞The Data Detective＜/em＞ is a big-idea book about statistics and human behavior that is fresh, unexpected, and insightful.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。
