Everybody Sells Nobody Buys

Pasquale De Marco

Sinopsis

In a world saturated with salesmanship, it's time to take a critical look at the persuasive techniques that shape our culture, our politics, and our economy.

From the moment we're born, we're bombarded with messages trying to convince us to buy something. Whether it's a new car, a new pair of shoes, or a new political candidate, we're constantly being sold to.

But what are the consequences of this relentless salesmanship? How does it impact our individual lives and our society as a whole?

In this groundbreaking book, we'll explore the pervasive role of sales in our society. We'll examine how salesmanship has shaped our culture, our politics, and our economy. We'll also consider the ethical implications of salesmanship and the impact it has on our individual lives.

We'll take a journey through the history of salesmanship, from the rise of mass production in the Industrial Revolution to the emergence of advertising and marketing in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. We'll examine the techniques that salespeople use to persuade us to buy their products and services, and we'll consider the psychological and emotional impact of these techniques.

We'll also look at the dark side of salesmanship, from the fraudulent practices of unscrupulous salespeople to the devastating impact of consumerism on our environment.

This book is a wake-up call to a nation of salesmen. It's time to wake up to the consequences of salesmanship and to take a critical look at the role it plays in our lives. It's time to question the constant barrage of advertising messages and to make more conscious choices about what we buy and why we buy it.

It's time to take back control of our lives from the salesmen.

The #MeToo Effect - What Happens...

Leigh Gilmore

The #MeToo movement inspired millions to testify to the widespread experience of sexual violence. More broadly, it shifted the deeply ingrained response to women's accounts of sexual violence from doubting all of them to believing some of them. What changed? 
 
 
 
Leigh Gilmore provides a new account of #MeToo that reveals how storytelling by survivors propelled the call for sexual justice beyond courts and high-profile cases. At a time when the cultural conversation was fixated on appeals to legal and bureaucratic systems, narrative activism—storytelling in the service of social change—elevated survivors as authorities. Their testimony fused credibility and accountability into the #MeToo effect: uniting millions of separate accounts into an existential demand for justice and the right to be heard. 
 
 
 
Gilmore reframes #MeToo as a breakthrough moment within a longer history of feminist thought and activism. She analyzes autobiographical storytelling in intersectional and antirape activism and traces how literary representations of sexual violence dating from antiquity intertwine with cultural notions of doubt, obligation, and agency. By focusing on the intersectional prehistory of #MeToo, Gilmore sheds light on how survivors have used narrative to frame sexual violence as an urgent problem requiring structural solutions in diverse contexts.

Magnet Ass––And The Stone Cold...

Will Cunningham

Magnet Ass and the Stone-Cold Truck Hunters is a Vietnam war memoir about Captain Alan "Magnet Ass" Milacek, the "man who flew his plane on one wing". It is a war story. But it is also not a war story. It has everything to do with a white-hot mission over the Plain of Jars in 1970, for which 10 men earned The Mackay Trophy, one of history's most coveted aviation awards - and at the same time, it has nothing to do with any of that at all.Magnet Ass is gritty and it is holy, sometimes full of shit and shrapnel - and at other times as demure as a duck flying over a pond in the dead of winter. Flashing between 1970 Asia and present day Oklahoma, Magnet Ass is poignantly written, meticulously researched, and narratively gripping. This incredible moment in the annals of air force history becomes a story about the power of kindness, courage, and tenacity in the face of uncertainty and fear. It becomes the story of two men pondering the past and finding themselves not only in remembering, but in relationship. Magnet Ass is at once a potent war story, a lushly written memoir, and a tale of the power of the everyday impossible, which any of us can strive to achieve.

Mao Zedong and Chiang Kai-Shek -...

Charles River Editors

In 1937, the fledgling Empire of Japan once more went to war with China, which by then had become a nation broken into petty warlord fiefdoms and wracked by civil war. The Japanese enacted a brutal campaign over the fragmented realms that made up China, committing atrocities just as horrendous as their Axis allies in Europe. Despite this, the sheer size of China, coupled with Japan’s overextension, allowed the larger, less developed nation to endure throughout World War II. 
At the same time, China was experiencing an equally brutal civil war between Nationalist and Communist forces, which became inextricably intertwined with the fighting raging across the globe. In fact, the sheer scale of the horrors of the civil war remain hard to believe today, even as action in that theater is often overlooked because of events in Europe. What most people remember about the civil war is that it was ultimately won by Mao Zedong and the Communists, ushering in a new era of Communism in China and exiling the Republic of China’s government to Taiwan. Political tensions between Taiwan and China remain precarious to this day. 
The Republic of China’s most famous leader and general was Chiang Kai-Shek, who rose from humble origins as the son of a local trader to become, as he liked to remind visitors, the ruler over more people than any other world leader. He certainly became one of the most influential leaders of the 20th century, yet today, he is considerably less well-known than many other figures from that period, which was so rife of chaos and tumultuous change. Chiang had come to power at a time when China was rebuilding itself after a period of internal conflict and turmoil, attempting to unify the nation in the face of the Japanese and the man who would become his arch-rival: Mao Zedong, leader of the Chinese Communists.
