Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - From the Publishers Weekly review:'Two experts from Yale tackle the business wake-up-call du jour-environmental responsibility-from every angle in this thorough, earnest guidebook: pragmatically, passionately, financially and historically. Though 'no company the authors know of is on a truly long-term sustainable course,' Esty and Winston label the forward-thinking, green-friendly (or at least green-acquainted) companies WaveMakers and set out to assess honestly their path toward environmental responsibility, and its impact on a company's bottom line, customers, suppliers and reputation. Following the evolution of business attitudes toward environmental concerns, Esty and Winston offer a series of fascinating plays by corporations such as Wal-Mart, GE and Chiquita (Banana), the bad guys who made good, and the good guys-watchdogs and industry associations, mostly-working behind the scenes. A vast number of topics huddle beneath the umbrella of threats to the earth, and many get a thorough analysis here: from global warming to electronic waste 'take-back' legislation to subsidizing sustainable seafood. For the responsible business leader, this volume provides plenty of (organic) food for thought. '.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'Donald McCullough understands that God's generosity gets up our nose and that, if we are honest, we find the teachings of Jesus offensive. It's an old spiritual maxim that the most privileged access to grace is through our greatest weakness. Who needs it The author looks the issue in the eye with clarity and humor, showing us that our freedom and joy depend on a truth-telling that exposes not only our weakness and fragility but also the breathtaking grace of God, which rescues us from despair and makes us radiant with God's delight.' --Alan Jones, dean, Grace Cathedral, San Francisco, and author, Reimagining Christianity.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Dave Hitz likes to solve fun problems. He didn't set out to be a Silicon Valley icon, a business visionary, or even a billionaire. But he became all three. It turns out that business is a mosaic of interesting puzzles like managing risk, developing and reversing strategies, and looking into the future by deconstructing the past.As a founder of NetApp, a data storage firm that began as an idea scribbled on a placemat and now takes in $4 billion a year, Hitz has seen his company go through every major cycle in business--from the Jack-of-All-Trades mentality of a start-up, through the tumultuous period of the IPO and the dot-com bust, and finally to a mature enterprise company. NetApp is one of the fastest-growing computer companies ever, and for six years in a row it has been on Fortune magazine's list of Best Companies to Work For. Not bad for a high school dropout who began his business career selling his blood for money and typing the names of diseases onto index cards.With colorful examples and anecdotes, How to Castrate a Bull is a story for everyone interested in understanding business, the reasons why companies succeed and fail, and how powerful lessons often come from strange and unexpected places.Dave Hitz co-founded NetApp in 1992 with James Lau and Michael Malcolm. He served as a programmer, marketing evangelist, technical architect, and vice president of engineering. Presently, he is responsible for future strategy and direction for the company. Before his career in Silicon Valley, Dave worked as a cowboy, where he got valuable management experience by herding, branding, and castrating cattle.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Queer Visibilities explores the gap between liberal South African law and the more dangerous reality for groups of queer men living in Cape Town. By examining the lives of queer men among the three major 'race' groups in Cape Town - whites, coloureds and black Africans - this illuminating new study shows how changes in South African law remain marginal to vast numbers of the city's queers. The text also explores the inextricable links between the regulation and expression of queer sexualities and the histories of racial classification in the country. It argues that Western notions of 'the closet' fail to account for important distinctions between men who at times inhabit vastly different social worlds. Such distinctions, however, must be uncovered if the needs and wishes of diverse communities are to be understood. Queer Visibilities combines the most up-to-date theoretical arguments with extensive new field research to shed light on some important failures of the New South Africa - including the many hardships faced by black African queer men in the Cape Town townships and a 'forgotten HIV epidemic' caused by lingering homophobia and ignorance.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - COMEDY INCARNATE COMEDY INCARNATEBuster Keaton, Physical Humor and Bodily Coping 'Buster Keaton was an engineer of the comic, a craftsman of gags, a mechanic of humor. While Carroll does not aspire to be as funny as Keaton, he can match (and follow) him in intricate and brilliant analysis, providing a logic of illogic. A book that will change how we think about slapstick and film style.'Tom Gunning, University of Chicago 'Comedy Incarnate is a brilliant, inventive and lucid examination of Buster Keaton's The General. Through close textual analysis, Carroll opens up a wide expanse of historical and theoretical territory - positioning The General in relation to the writings of Merleau-Ponty, Bergson, and Poulet, as well as to the films of Chaplin, Lloyd, and Langdon.'Lucy Fischer, University of Pittsburgh 'Building on Keaton's directorial practice as a sort of civil engineer who engaged a mechanical universe, Carroll . . . investigates how Keaton's emphasis on gags and their intelligibility characterize the film in specific ways. In so doing he opens up an understanding of how Keaton's comedy of body intelligence works, especially in contrast to contemporaries like Charlie Chaplin and Harold Lloyd, and he shows how intelligence - the artist's and the viewer's - informs laughter.'CHOICE Comedy Incarnate explores the intricacies of Buster Keaton's unique visual style to discover what provokes laughter in his timeless films, paying special attention to The General. Keaton's precise body comedy, coupled with his unconventional directorial decisions, suggests a new way of analyzing the film in terms of its visual elements as opposed to its narrative. Written by one of America's foremost film theorists, this in-depth examination of the comedy of the steam, steel, and railroad era will provide a fresh vantage point for analysis of film and comedy itself.
