Summary

A new understanding of the culturally rich and historic relationship between Hollywood and Bollywood. With American cinema facing intense technological and financial challenges both at home and abroad, and with Indian media looking to globalize, there have been numerous high-profile institutional connections between Hollywood and Bombay cinema in the past few years. Many accounts have proclaimed India’s transformation in a relatively short period from a Hollywood outpost to a frontier of opportunity. Orienting Hollywood moves beyond the conventional popular wisdom that Hollywood and Bombay cinema have only recently become intertwined because of economic priorities, instead uncovering a longer history of exchange. Through archival research, interviews, industry sources, policy documents, and cultural criticism, Nitin Govil not only documents encounters between Hollywood and India but also shows how connections were imagined over a century of screen exchange. Employing a comparative framework, Govil details the history of influence, traces the nature of interoperability, and textures the contact between Hollywood and Bombay cinema by exploring both the reality and imagination of encounter.

    Make It in America - The Case...

    We used to make things in this country. We were the dazzling innovators, the undisputed world economic leaders, and with our manufacturing engine driving the process, we built a solid, high-achieving middle class and a thriving economy. Now, thanks to policies that are either indifferent-or downright hostile-to manufacturing, we're at the brink of losing it all. If you think this won't affect you, guess again.In Make It in America: The Case for Re-Inventing the Economy, author Andrew N. Liveris presents a powerful case for the critical importance of domestic manufacturing to the long-term health of the entire U.S. economy and issues a candid wake-up call to America to reinvent its manufacturing base before it's too late.If anyone has street cred on this subject, it's Liveris. Currently chairman and CEO of the Dow Chemical Company, one of the world's largest manufacturers and of the most global corporations, he's been on the global manufacturing stage for over thirty years. In this thought-provoking book, Liveris challenges conventional wisdom and, using vivid examples from around the globe, makes clear:-Manufacturing matters-more than ever before. Not all sectors are created equal. Manufacturing can create jobs and wealth to a degree that the service sector can't match.-The Rust Belt, it turns out, isn't so rusty. Twenty-first-century manufacturing means solar cells for your home, batteries for your hybrid car, the touch screen on your smart phone, and the e-ink in your Kindle.-Government's got to get engaged. Liveris argues it's a false choice to claim that you must be either pro-business or pro-government. Globalization has changed the equation, and governments all over the world are working in partnership with-and taking action on behalf of-their leading industries. Why isn't America?Liveris sees where America is losing ground-from innovation to job creation-and explains how we can take back our future. Make It in America is a must-listen for anyone who believes that America's greatest, most productive, most prosperous days are not behind us. Our best days lie ahead of us if we take proactive measures now. They're still within reach.

    If you want to skyrocket your success improve your overall life...you need to have a look at effective resolutions to quit drinking! 
    There are many different ideas about recovery. There is a plan of attack to recovery that is called the creative theory. It's a bit different from "traditional" recovery, which is commonly 12 step programs like Alcoholics Anonymous. Many people have never heard of this and have no idea how to go about figuring out where they are or how to change it. 
    You know why most people have a tendency to not achieve the success they desire in fighting addictions and overall life? 
    It's because they don't know that early on recovery begins a little bit before you even become clean and sober. You need to start in the mental process of arriving at the decision to alter your life. Then you really go through with the conclusion and take true action. This sets in motion a roller coaster of an emotional ride that we may simply describe as becoming a furious, up and down ride. 
    Which brings us to a very important aspect I must talk about: You can have better success in recovery and life if you discover effective resolutions to quit drinking! People who struggle in alcohol addiction will find these things in common:They don't know the phasesThey have no idea how to avoid mistakesThey are struggling with finding their pathThey also don't understand taking actionThey have many more problems untold 
    Well don't worry.... With the strategies that I’m about to let you in on, you will have no problems when it comes to learning how to beat the alcohol addiction! 
    In this audiobook, you will learn all about:Phases of recoveryErrors and correct choices in early-on recoverySeek your pathYou must take actionMuch more! 
    Make full use of this knowledge and get a real look at effective resolutions to quit drinking!
