When tension and immediacy combine, the story begins.' Dialogue and action, beginnings and endings, the true meaning of 'write what you know,' and a memorable listing of don'ts for fiction writers are all covered.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Community is one of those words that feels good: it is good to have a community , to be in a community . And community feels good because of the meanings which the word conveys, all of them promising pleasures, and more often than not the kind of pleasures which we would like to experience but seem to miss.Community conveys the image of a warm and comfortable place, like a fireplace at which we warm our hands on a frosty day. Out there, in the street, all sorts of dangers lie in ambush; in here, in the community, we can relax and feel safe. Community stands for the kind of world which we long to inhabit but which is not, regrettably, available to us. Today community is another name for paradise lost - but for a paradise which we still hope to find, as we feverishly search for the roads that may lead us there.But there is a price to be paid for the privilege of being in a community. Community promises security but seems to deprive us of freedom, of the right to be ourselves. Security and freedom are two equally precious and coveted values which could be balanced to some degree, but hardly ever fully reconciled. The tension between security and freedom, and between community and individuality, is unlikely ever to be resolved. We cannot escape the dilemma but we can take stock of the opportunities and the dangers, and at least try to avoid repeating past errors.In this important new book, Zygmunt Bauman takes stock of these opportunities and dangers and, in his distinctive and brilliant fashion, offers a much-needed reappraisal of a concept that has become central to current debates about the nature and future of our societies.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Emmanuel Levinas has been Professor of Philosophy at the Sorbonne and the director of the Ecole Normale Israelite Orientale. Through such works as 'Totality and Infinity' and 'Otherwise than Being', he has exerted a profound influence on twentieth-century continental philosophy, providing inspiration for Derrida, Lyotard, Blanchot and Irigaray. 'The Levinas Reader' collects, often for the first time in English, essays by Levinas encompassing every aspect of his thought: the early phenomenological studies written under the guidance and inspiration of Husserl and Heidegger; the fully developed ethical critique of such totalizing philosophies; the pioneering texts on the moral dimension to aesthetics; the rich and subtle readings of the Talmud which are an exemplary model of an ethical, transcendental philosophy at work; the admirable meditations on current political issues. Sean Hand s introduction gives a complete overview of Levinas s work and situates each chapter within his general contribution to phenomenology, aesthetics, religion, politics and, above all, ethics. Each essay has been prefaced with a brief introduction presenting the basic issues and the necessary background, and suggesting ways to study the text further.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Das Prinzip der Corporate Governance wird definiert als die verantwortliche, auf langfristige Wertschöpfung ausgerichtete Unternehmensleitung und Unternehmenskontrolle. Die Corporate Governance beschäftigt sich mit der Beziehung zwischen Unternehmensbeteiligten und Unternehmen, d.h. sie untersucht zwei Aspekte - zum einen die Beziehung zwischen den Beteiligten eines Unternehmens, die Kapital investiert haben und zum anderen deren Beziehung zum Unternehmen, in das sie investiert haben. Dabei geht es um die zentrale Frage, welches grundlegende Modell der Unternehmensführung die mitunter widersprüchlichen Interesse der Beteiligten (d.h. jeder mit einem finanziellen Interesse am Unternehmen, wie z.B. Aktionäre, Geschäftsleitung, Mitarbeiter, Gläubiger, Kunden, etc.) miteinander in Einklang bringt. Ziel ist es, die bestmögliche Unternehmensführung und damit ein Maximum an Wertschöpfung zu gewährleisten.
