Description:
London: Viking Adult, 1990. First Edition. Hardcover. Near Fine/Near Fine. A crisp clean first edition/printing, no markings throughout: Literary grace and sensitivity mark this account of British reporter Christmas's travels in northern England, Wales, Scotland and tragically divided Ireland. While noting that England needed Thatcher to effect certain reforms, the "gypsy journalist" also points to the downside of the prime minister's programs. Supported by interviews with people met on her journeys, Christmas's observations draw attention to vast changes in Britain during the 1980s, which suggest to her Chekhov's The Cherry Orchard , with the trees sacrificed to make money for "man unmoved by the past." But the author expresses the hope that destroying England's "cherry trees" can make room for seedlings that in time will yield fruit to feed citizens hungry for jobs, education and medical care.

Description:
Cambridge, UK ; Malden, Mas: Polity Press, 1999. Near Fine. Social class differences and inequalities are alive and flourishing in cont emporary Britain. In reviewing a wide range of sources, this book provides easy access to the empirical research on social class. It illustrates how c lass differences reach into society, affecting not only life-styles but als o life-chancesbirth, health and death. Reid demonstrates how social class i s related to most aspects of life in Britain including: differences in weal th and income, education and qualifications, work and leisure, expectation of life and experience of health, housing, sex and family relationships, an d political and religious beliefs and activity. It provides a comprehensive view of the nature of social class in Britain and discusses how the concep t of class has been used in empirical research. In sum, it presents a very serious challenge to the hope or promise that Britain is moving toward a cl assless society. It is written for a very… Read More

US: Beacon Press, 2010. Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. A copy that has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Demography is destiny. It underlies many of the issues that shake the world , from war and economics to immigration. No wonder, then, that fears of ove rpopulation flared regularly over the last century, a century that saw the world's population quadruple. Even today, baby booms are blamed for genocid e and terrorism, and overpopulation is regularly cited as the primary facto r driving global warming and other environmental issues. Yet, surprisingly, it appears that the explosion is past its peak. Around t he world, in developing countries as well as in rich ones, today's women ar e having on average 2.6 children, half the number their mothers had. Within a generation, world fertility will likely follow Europe's to below replace ment levels-and by 2040, the world's population will be declining for the… Read More

US: W. W. Norton & Company, 1997. Paperback. Very Good. A copy that has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. From the pages of The Baffler, the most vital and perceptive new magazine of the nineties, sharp, satirical broadsides against the Culture Trust. In the "old" Gilded Age, the barons of business accumulated vast wealth and influence from their railroads, steel mills, and banks. But today it is culture that stands at the heart of the American enterprise, mass entertainment the economic dynamo that brings the public into the consuming fold and consolidates the power of business over the American mind. For a decade The Baffler has been the invigorating voice of dissent against these developments, in the grand tradition of the muckrakers and The American Mercury. This collection gathers the best of its writing to explore such peculiar developments as the birth of the rebel hero as consumer in the pages of… Read More

Description:
US: Commonwealth Foundation, 2004. Paperback. Good. Independent African countries have faced many challenges on the road to eco nomic and social development. The heritage of colonialism has weighed heavy on their shoulders, and the promises of post-colonialism have not always b een fulfilled. The nature and trajectory of the development project is determined, in larg e part, by governments. Where they have been limited in - or neglectful of - their capacity to improve the lives of their people, non-government organ izations have been quick to respond. Composing a New Song comprises portraits of five such NGOs, from Nigeria, T anzania, Uganda, Zambia and Zimbabwe. Each was spurred by a moral concern f or those sectors of society that were marginalized or ignored completely, b y the march of mainstream development, but each has chosen its own route, i ts own tactics and its own methods. These stories, told by founders and senior managers of the organizations, offer a rare insight into personal… Read More

Description:
US: Routledge, 1989. Hardcover. Very Good. The title doesn't reveal much, but this is a mixed bag of 24 essays on how the process of searching and creating meaning in our "everyday lives is sub ject to politicization and struggle," the main issue being "exercise of pow er." As one might guess, some essays are more readable than others. They in clude Gore Vidal's "Requiem for the American Empire," Jean Bethke Elshtain' s "Cultural Conundrums and Gender: America's Present Past," and Angus's "Me dia Beyond Representation." There's something here for everyone--students a nd teachers of mass media, popular culture, and communications, as well as those of us who know what the "commodification of culture" and "postmodern culture of staged difference" are.

US: Gardners Books, 2005. Paperback. Very Good. Jeffrey Sachs draws on his remarkable 25 years' experience to offer a thril ling and inspiring vision of the keys to economic success in the world toda y. Marrying vivid storytelling with acute analysis, he sets the stage by dr awing a conceptual map of the world economy and explains why, over the past 200 years, wealth and poverty have diverged and evolved across the planet, and why the poorest nations have been so markedly unable to escape the tra p of poverty. Sachs tells the remarkable stories of his own work in Bolivia , Poland, Russia, India, China and Africa to bring readers with him to an u nderstanding of the different problems countries face. In the end, readers will be left not with an understanding of how daunting the world's problems are, but how solvable they are and why making the effort is both our moral duty and in our own interests.

Description:
US: Harper Perennial, 2002. Paperback. Very Good. Fast food has hastened the malling of our landscape, widened the chasm betw een rich and poor, fueled an epidemic of obesity, and propelled American cu ltural imperialism abroad. That's a lengthy list of charges, but here Eric Schlosser makes them stick with an artful mix of first-rate reportage, wry wit, and careful reasoning. Schlosser's myth-shattering survey stretches fr om California's subdivisions where the business was born to the industrial corridor along the New Jersey Turnpike where many fast food's flavors are c oncocted. Along the way, he unearths a trove of fascinating, unsettling tru ths -- from the unholy alliance between fast food and Hollywood to the seis mic changes the industry has wrought in food production, popular culture, a nd even real estate. He also uncovers the fast food chains' disturbing effo rts to reel in the youngest, most susceptible consumers even while they hon e their institutionalized exploitation of teenagers and… Read More

US: Simon & Schuster India, 2021. Paperback. Fair. As we approach a great turning point in history when technology is poised t o redefine what it means to be human, The Fourth Age offers fascinating ins ight into AI, robotics, and their extraordinary implications for our specie s. In The Fourth Age, Byron Reese makes the case that technology has reshaped humanity just three times in history: - 100,000 years ago, we harnessed fire, which led to language. - 10,000 years ago, we developed agriculture, which led to cities and warfa re. - 5,000 years ago, we invented the wheel and writing, which lead to the nat ion state. We are now on the doorstep of a fourth change brought about by two technolo gies: AI and robotics. The Fourth Age provides extraordinary background inf ormation on how we got to this point, and how-rather than what-we should th ink about the topics we?fll soon all be facing: machine consciousness, auto mation, employment, creative computers, radical life extension, artificial life, AI… Read More
