Beschreibung

In "The Inevitable Crimes of Celibacy," Thomas E. Watson delves into the psychological and societal ramifications of celibacy, framing it as a harbinger of moral and ethical dilemmas. Watson employs a candid literary style, blending personal anecdotes with sociological insights, creating a compelling narrative that challenges the conventional notions of sexual abstinence. The book emerges against the backdrop of early 20th-century America, a period marked by shifting attitudes towards sexuality and personal freedom, thereby positioning celibacy both as a personal choice and a societal construct fraught with tension. Thomas E. Watson, known for his incisive commentary on social issues, was influenced by his own experiences and the cultural zeitgeist of his time. As a prominent figure in the Populist movement, Watson's explorations of morality often intersect with themes of individual liberty and societal expectation. His background in law and journalism informed his critical perspective, allowing him to dissect the complexities surrounding intimate relationships and their implications in a rapidly modernizing society. This book is highly recommended for readers seeking a thought-provoking exploration of celibacy's broader implications. Watson's incisive analyses encourage critical reflection on the nature of desire and societal norms, making it an essential read for anyone interested in the intersections of sexuality, morality, and social structures.

    “[An] entertaining and savory gastronomical history of the cuisine of Italy and how it won over appetites worldwide.” —USA TodayNot so long ago, Italian food was regarded as a poor man's gruel—little more than pizza, macaroni with sauce, and red wines in a box. Here, John Mariani shows how the Italian immigrants to America created, through perseverance and sheer necessity, an Italian-American food culture, and how it became a global obsession. The book begins with the Greek, Roman, and Middle Eastern culinary traditions before the boot-shaped peninsula was even called “Italy,” then takes readers on a journey through Europe and across the ocean to America alongside the poor but hopeful Italian immigrants who slowly but surely won over the hearts and minds of Americans by way of their stomachs.Featuring evil villains such as the Atkins diet and French chefs, this is a rollicking tale of how Italian cuisine rose to its place as the most beloved fare in the world, through the lives of the people who led the charge.With savory anecdotes from these top chefs and restaurateurs:Danny MeyerTony MantuanoMichael ChiarelloGiada de LaurentiisGiuseppe CiprianiNigella LawsonAnd the trials and triumphs of these restaurants:Da SilvanoSpiaggiaBottegaUnion Square CaféMaialinoRao'sBabboIl Cantinori“Mariani captures the history and elemental beauty of a cuisine that really does seem to appeal to more palates than any other . . . you owe it to yourself to read this book.” —Las Vegas Weekly

    "The Art of War" is a timeless and influential treatise on strategy and warfare attributed to Sun Tzu, a renowned Chinese military strategist, philosopher, and tactician of ancient China. Written over 2,500 years ago, this classic work has transcended its original purpose as a military manual to become a foundational text on strategic thinking applicable to various aspects of life, including business, leadership, and conflict resolution. 
    Divided into thirteen chapters, "The Art of War" delves into the intricate complexities of warfare and the principles that govern success on the battlefield. Sun Tzu emphasizes the importance of flexibility, adaptability, and understanding the terrain in order to gain an advantage over one's adversaries. The book discusses various strategies, including the direct and indirect approaches, the utilization of deception, the management of resources, and the significance of timing in achieving victory. 
    One of the central concepts in the book is the idea that the ultimate triumph lies in winning without engaging in actual combat. Sun Tzu stresses the value of outsmarting opponents through strategic maneuvering and psychological warfare, reducing the need for bloody confrontation. He underlines the importance of understanding both one's own strengths and weaknesses, as well as those of the opposition, in order to make informed decisions that lead to success. 
    "The Art of War" also touches upon leadership qualities and the need for effective communication and discipline within an organization. Sun Tzu's insights have been applied not only to military strategies but also to various fields, such as business management, negotiation, and personal development. His teachings highlight the significance of preparation, planning, and adaptability in achieving one's goals.

    Golden Rule - The Investment...

    "To discover who rules, follow the gold." This is the argument of Golden Rule, a provocative, pungent history of modern American politics. Although the role big money plays in defining political outcomes has long been obvious to ordinary Americans, most pundits and scholars have virtually dismissed this assumption. Even in light of skyrocketing campaign costs, the belief that major financial interests primarily determine who parties nominate and where they stand on the issues—that, in effect, Democrats and Republicans are merely the left and right wings of the "Property Party"—has been ignored by most political scientists. Offering evidence ranging from the nineteenth century to the 1994 mid-term elections, Golden Rule shows that voters are "right on the money." Thomas Ferguson breaks completely with traditional voter centered accounts of party politics. In its place he outlines an "investment approach," in which powerful investors, not unorganized voters, dominate campaigns and elections. Because businesses "invest" in political parties and their candidates, changes in industrial structures—between large firms and sectors—can alter the agenda of party politics and the shape of public policy.Golden Rule presents revised versions of widely read essays in which Ferguson advanced and tested his theory, including his seminal study of the role played by capital intensive multinationals and international financiers in the New Deal. The chapter "Studies in Money Driven Politics" brings this aspect of American politics into better focus, along with other studies of Federal Reserve policy making and campaign finance in the 1936 election. Ferguson analyzes how a changing world economy and other social developments broke up the New Deal system in our own time, through careful studies of the 1988 and 1992 elections. The essay on 1992 contains an extended analysis of the emergence of the Clinton coalition and Ross Perot's dramatic independent insurgency. A postscript on the 1994 elections demonstrates the controlling impact of money on several key campaigns. This controversial work by a theorist of money and politics in the U.S. relates to issues in campaign finance reform, PACs, policymaking, public financing, and how today's elections work.
