Art of Fake.

Zulehner Christoph

Art of Fake.

Bruce Springsteen und Bill Gates haben es getan. Die exzentrische Modeschöpferin Elsa Schiaparelli hat es getan. Die legendäre Kriegsreporterin Martha Gellhorn. Sogar der seriöse Komponist Franz Xaver Frenzel. Sie alle bedienten sich des Fakes. An einem bestimmten Punkt ihrer Karriere ließen sie den Schein dem Sein vorangehen. Nicht, um zu betrügen. Sondern um ein legitimes Ziel zu erreichen. Sie besorgten sich gewissermaßen bei der Zukunft ein Darlehen. Lesen Sie in diesem Buch die höchst...

Bill Ivey

Arts, Inc.

In this impassioned and persuasive book, Bill Ivey, the former chairman of the National Endowment for the Arts, assesses the current state of the arts in America and finds cause for alarm. Even as he celebrates our ever-emerging culture and the way it enriches our lives here at home while spreading the dream of democracy around the world, he points to a looming crisis. The expanding footprint of copyright, an unconstrained arts industry marketplace, and a government unwilling to engage culture...

At the Fence of Metternich's Garden

At the Fence of Metternich's Garden

This collection of essays reflects the personal experience of a Ukrainian intellectual engaged, since his Soviet-time youth, in a painstaking but fascinating process of the both cultural and political ‘Europeanization’ of his country. The title refers, ironically, to the notorious Chancellor Metternich’s quip that Asia presumably begins at the eastern fence of his garden (or, as another apocryphal version maintains, at the eastern end of the Viennese Landstrasse). This is a story of both...

Beautiful Country Burn Again

Ben Fountain

Beautiful Country Burn Again

As Ben Fountain sees it, the United States is facing its third existential crisis. The first was the struggle over slavery, culminating in the Civil War. The second was the Great Depression, the worst economic downturn in the history of the industrialised world, which brought about the New Deal. The third, is Donald Trump. But how will it end? Taking in America's love affair with firearms, celebrity culture, Russia, Obamacare, Hillary Clinton and, of course, Trump himself, Beautiful...

Bigger Than Bernie

Micah Uetricht

Bigger Than Bernie

The political ambitions of the movement behind Bernie Sanders have never been limited to winning the White House. Since Bernie first entered the presidential primaries in 2016, his supporters have worked to organize a revolution intended to encourage the active participation of millions of ordinary people in political life. That revolution is already underway, as evidenced by the massive growth of the Democratic Socialists of America, the teachers Bernie motivated to lead strikes across red and...

Black Garden

Black Garden

“Brilliant.”—Time “Admirable, rigorous. De Waal [is] a wise and patient reporter.”—The New York Review of Books “Never have all the twists and turns, sad carnage, and bullheadedness on all side been better described—or indeed, better explained…Offers a deeper and more compelling account of the conflict than anyone before.”—Foreign Affairs Since its publication in 2003, the first edition of Black Garden has become the definitive study of how Armenia and Azerbaijan, two southern Soviet...

Black Mosaic

Candis Watts Smith

Black Mosaic

Historically, Black Americans have easily found common ground on political, social, and economic goals. Yet, there are signs of increasing variety of opinion among Blacks in the United States, due in large part to the influx of Afro-Latino, Afro-Caribbean, and African immigrants to the United States. In fact, the very definition of “African American” as well as who can self-identity as Black is becoming more ambiguous. Should we expect African Americans’ shared...

Blowing the Roof off the Twenty-First Century

In the United States and much of the world there is a palpable depression about the prospect of overcoming the downward spiral created by the tyranny of wealth and privilege and establishing a truly democratic and sustainable society. It threatens to become self-fulfilling. In this trailblazing new book, award-winning author Robert W. McChesney argues that the weight of the present is blinding people to the changing nature and the tremendous possibilities of the historical moment we inhabit. In...

Boris Nemtsov and Russian Politics

Andrey Makarychev

Boris Nemtsov and Russian Politics

In post-Soviet Russian politics, Boris Nemtsov is one of the most tragic figures—and not only because he was shot dead, at the age of 56, in close vicinity to the Kremlin, the locus of Russia’s power. The “transparency of evil” in this specific case was shocking: Nemtsov’s murder was filmed by a surveillance camera. The video tape confirms the demonstrative and insolent character of the assassination. His death illuminated a core feature of the current regime that tolerates, if not incites,...

Bounded Rationality and Politics

Jonathan Bendor

Bounded Rationality and Politics

In <i>Bounded Rationality and Politics</i>, Jonathan Bendor considers two schools of behavioral economics—the first guided by Tversky and Kahneman’s work on heuristics and biases, which focuses on the mistakes people make in judgment and choice; the second as described by Gerd Gigerenzer’s program on fast and frugal heuristics, which emphasizes the effectiveness of simple rules of thumb. Finding each of these radically incomplete, Bendor’s illuminating analysis proposes Herbert...

Breaking Ranks brings a new and deeply personal perspective to the war in Iraq by looking into the lives of six veterans who turned against the war they helped to fight. Based on extensive interviews with each of the six, the book relates why they enlisted, their experiences in training and in early missions, their tours of combat, and what has happened to them since returning home.

Brennpunkt Balkan

Christian Wehrschütz

Brennpunkt Balkan

Christian Wehrschütz ist davon überzeugt, dass der Balkan der entscheidende Testfall für die EU ist und bleiben wird. Die Union wird beweisen müssen, dass sie ihren „Hinterhof“ befrieden kann, wenn sie ein wirklicher außenpolitischer Faktor in der Welt sein will. Doch die seit Jahren herrschende Krise in der Euro-Zone hat sich auch auf die Attraktivität der EU am Balkan ausgewirkt, was sich nicht nur an der steigenden Zahl dahingehend kritischer Karikaturen zeigt. Doch dieser Region fehlt...

Building the Commune

Building the Commune

Latin America’s experiments in direct democracy Since 2011, a wave of popular uprisings has swept the globe, taking shape in the Occupy movement, the Arab Spring, 15M in Spain, and the anti-austerity protests in Greece. The demands have been varied, but have expressed a consistent commitment to the ideals of radical democracy. Similar experiments began appearing across Latin America twenty-five years ago, just as the left fell into decline in Europe. In Venezuela, poor barrio residents arose...

Building Ukraine from Within

Anton Oleinik

Building Ukraine from Within

Ukraine drew significant media attention after the 2013–2014 Revolution of Dignity and the subsequent undeclared war waged by Russia. However, the nature of these events and their impact on the social, economic, and political development of this country remain under-studied and, hence, often misunderstood. The reader is invited to take an inside look at the recent developments in Ukraine and to search for an answer to the question of whether transition from externally to internally driven...

Can Academics Change the World?

Can Academics Change the World?

Moshe Shokeid narrates his experiences as a member of AD KAN (NO MORE), a protest movement of Israeli academics at Tel Aviv University, who fought against the Israeli occupation of Palestinian territories, founded during the first Palestinian Intifada (1987-1993). However, since the assassination of Prime Minister Rabin and the later obliteration of the Oslo accord, public manifestations of dissent on Israeli campuses have been remarkably mute. This chronicle of AD KAN is explored in view of the...

Canadian Politics Unplugged

Eric Nicol

Canadian Politics Unplugged

Canadian politics is/are not well understood, no authority being prepared to say whether it/they is/are singular or plural. Canadian Politics Unplugged bravely breaks new ground in ignoring this question. The book concentrates on the central problem of democracy in a country that is too big to digest without getting gas. Readers are assured that the authors have studied Canadian politics for years, from a safe distance, and enjoy the unique perspective of never having been elected to high...
