Sinopsis

A History of Argentina in the Twentieth Century, originally published in Buenos Aires in 1994, attained instant status as a classic. Written as an introductory text for university students and the general public, it is a profound reflection on the “Argentine dilemma” and the challenges that the country faces as it tries to rebuild democracy. Luis Alberto Romero brilliantly and painstakingly reconstructs and analyzes Argentina’s tortuous, often tragic modern history, from the “alluvial society” born of mass immigration, to the dramatic years of Juan and Eva Perón, to the recent period of military dictatorship. For this second English-language edition, Romero has written new chapters covering the Kirchner decade (2003–13), the upheavals surrounding the country’s 2001 default on its foreign debt, and the tumultuous years that followed as Argentina sought to reestablish a role in the global economy while securing democratic governance and social peace.

    From the Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and author of Why We Make Mistakes, an illuminating exploration of human beings' astonishing ability to deceive themselves. To one degree or another, we all misjudge reality. Our perception—of ourselves and the world around us—is much more malleable than we realize. This self-deception influences every major aspect of our personal and social life, including relationships, sex, politics, careers, and health. In Kidding Ourselves, Joseph Hallinan offers a nuts-and-bolts look at how this penchant shapes our everyday lives, from the medicines we take to the decisions we make. It shows, for instance, just how much the power of many modern medicines, particularly anti-depressants and painkillers, is largely in our heads. Placebos in modern-day life extend beyond hospitals, to fake thermostats and "elevator close" buttons that don't really workbut give the perception that they do. Kidding Ourselves brings together a variety of subjects, linking seemingly unrelated ideas in fascinating and unexpected ways. And ultimately, it shows that deceiving ourselves is not always negative or foolish. As increasing numbers of researchers are discovering, it can be incredibly useful, providing us with the resilience we need to persevere, in the boardroom, bedroom, and beyond. Provocative, accessible, and easily applicable to multiple facets of everyday life, Kidding Ourselves is an extraordinary new exploration of our mind's flexibility.

    We are all well-acquainted with the sacred cows of  the workplace: the conventional wisdom to try hard, work well with  others, and focus on producing excellent work. These are cherished  nuggets of advice, but in practice, they have a dark side -- blind,  unthinking pursuit of these goals leads to inefficiency and a slew  of unintended consequences. How can any manager upend conventional  wisdom, identify and avoid the dangerous behaviors that masquerade  as virtues in traditional work culture, and ultimately lead in the  smartest, most productive way possible?     Based on the authors extensive coaching experience in  Dukes Executive Education programas well as on the  latest scientific research in behavioral economics, neuroscience  and psychologyTipping Sacred Cows reveals a  simple set of steps to avoid the unintended consequences of the  various sacred cows that backfire at work. Breeden examines the  seven business virtues that can turn into the most powerful, hidden  and damaging sacred cows. In their manifestation as sacred cows,  these seven qualities show up in workplaces around the world, in  every industry, and at every level of leadership. Each has a  well-deserved reputation for being good and virtuous. They are  the most frequently advocated, widely beloved, and least frequently  questioned orthodoxies at work.They are:     Balance: Attempting to be all things to all  people, without deciding to be anything truly meaningful and  distinctive to anyone.  Collaboration: Holding too many team meetings and  creating a culture of learned helplessness with little individual  empowerment and accountability.  Creativity: Wasting time and money coming up with  an unneeded new idea but ignoring the bottom line.  Excellence: Too much investment in producing  perfect work instead of developing the quick and dirty solution  needed now.  Passion: Racing down a path seeking success brings  burn-out and disappointment instead.  Fairness: Sabotaging each other to ensure no one  gets more than their fair share.  Preparation: Wasting time in long planning  sessions instead of productively working out just-in-time solutions  with just the right people.     For each of the seven most common sacred cows, Breeden offers 3  simple strategies for overcoming their allure and achieving real  results. Tipping Sacred Cows wont advocate that  we slaughter sacred cows. Rather it argues that to save these  time-tested values by upending the shrouds of conventional wisdom  that bog them down. Tipping Sacred Cows shines a light on  the hidden traps that lie between good intentions and good results,  clearing a path so readers can finally realize their fullest  potential at work.

    Here for the first time is the history of art dealers, those extraordinary men and women who, over centuries (and almost entirely out of the public eye), built their profession on a singular skill: identifying the intangible but infinitely desirable qualities that characterize the greatest works of art—and finding clients for whom those qualities are irresistible. 
    Philip Hook's riveting narrative takes us from the early days of art dealing in Antwerp, where paintings were sold by weight, to the unassailable hauteur of contemporary galleries in New York, London, Paris, and beyond. Along the way, we meet a surprisingly wide-ranging cast of characters—from tailors, spies, and the occasional anarchist to scholars, aristocrats, and connoisseurs, some compelled by greed, some by their own vision of art—and some by the art of the deal. Among them are Joseph Duveen, who almost single-handedly brought the Old Masters to America; Daniel-Henry Kahnweiler, high priest of Cubism; and Peter Wilson, the charismatic Sotheby's chairman who made a theater of the auction room. 
    Rogues' Gallery bursts with unforgettable anecdotes and astute judgments about art and artists, honed by Hook's more than forty years in the art market—making it essential listening for anyone interested in the hidden history of art.
