Lettere dal carcere (9788842824633)

Quanto a lungo si deve urlare la parola «libertà» prima che acquisti davvero un valore? Quanto tempo deve passare prima che il domani sia un giorno nuovo? Per ventisette anni Nelson Mandela, l'uomo che avrebbe guidato il paese fuori dal regime di segregazione razziale che lo soffocava da quasi mezzo secolo, non è stato altro che una sigla: un anonimo numero di matricola che identificava un prigioniero come tanti in una delle strutture carcerarie del paese. Eppure proprio in quelle celle, nel silenzio dell'isolamento, nella fatica dei lavori forzati, ha preso forma il mito che avrebbe sgretolato il sistema di oppressione dell'elite bianca. Le "Lettere dal carcere" di Nelson Mandela sono un documento fondamentale del Novecento. La testimonianza unica e in presa diretta della determinazione, delle difficoltà e della fede nel progresso di una delle grandi icone politiche del nostro tempo: dal primo, durissimo periodo, quando gli era concesso di scrivere una sola lette

Sadly, Miss Austen has little to say about Vicky's exact circumstances: whether the roguish Mr. Carmichael is indeed a scoundrel, if her former best friend, Tom Sherborne, is out for her dowry or for her heart, or even how to fend off the attentions of the foppish Mr. Silby, he of the unfortunate fashion sensibility.

The Kingdom of Back (9780593110591)

Two siblings. Two brilliant talents. But only one Mozart. Born with a gift for music, Nannerl Mozart has just one wish--to be remembered forever. But even as she delights audiences with her masterful playing, she has little hope she'll ever become the acclaimed composer she longs to be. She is a young woman in 18th century Europe, and that means composing is forbidden to her. She will perform only until she reaches a marriageable age--her tyrannical father has made that much clear. And as Nannerl's hope grows dimmer with each passing year, the talents of her beloved younger brother, Wolfgang, only seem to shine brighter. His brilliance begins to eclipse her own, until one day a mysterious stranger from a magical land appears with an irresistible offer. He has the power to make her wish come true--but his help may cost her everything.

Confessions from Correspondentland : The Dangers and Delights of Life as a Foreign Correspondent (9781851689767)

Since making his journalistic debut breaking into Piers Morgan's office, BBC foreign correspondent Nick Bryant has rattled Donald Rumsfeld, had tea with President Karzai, and lunched with the Tamil Tigers. Now casting a sideways glance at his own profession, Bryant divulges the day-to-day realities of life in 'Correspondentland' - its glamour, its quirks, and its sometimes unsavoury practices. Whether in Washington DC, offering a window onto American politics as no insider can, reporting from a slum in India, or revealing why the BBC delayed the news of Princess Diana's death, Bryant's perspective is inimitable and always insightful. Part memoir, part travelogue, part expose, this is an unmissable and unique view into the world of modern reporting, and an intimate portrait of the countries Bryant has come to know.

Download Field Work : What Land Does to People & What People Do to Land (9781788162135)

A Telegraph Summer Read 'A priceless portrait of one of the least understood and frequently most vilified of people: farmers. It should really be read by all in this country who buys food - i.e. everyone.' Daily Mail 'Highly researched and deeply thoughtful ... Bathurst peers under the bonnet of these lives and reveals things that rarely make it into print.' James Rebanks, The Times 'A fine achievement: describing the indescribable' Rosamund Young, author of The Secret Life of Cows For many of us, Britain is countryside - drystone walls, stiles, sheep on a distant hillside. But farmers themselves often remain a mystery: familiar but unpredictable, a secretive industry still visible from space. Who are these people who shape our countryside and put food on our tables? And what does it take to pull a life out of earth? From fruit farmers to fallen stock operators, from grassy uplands to polytunnels, Bella Bathurst journeys through Britain to talk to those on the f

Download World on Fire : How Exporting Free Market Democracy Breeds Ethnic Hatred and Global Instability (9780385721868)

The reigning consensus holds that the combination of free markets and democracy would transform the third world and sweep away the ethnic hatred and religious zealotry associated with underdevelopment. In this revelatory investigation of the true impact of globalization, Yale Law School professor Amy Chua explains why many developing countries are in fact consumed by ethnic violence after adopting free market democracy. Chua shows how in non-Western countries around the globe, free markets have concentrated starkly disproportionate wealth in the hands of a resented ethnic minority. These "market-dominant minorities" - Chinese in Southeast Asia, Croatians in the former Yugoslavia, whites in Latin America and South Africa, Indians in East Africa, Lebanese in West Africa, Jews in post-communist Russia - become objects of violent hatred. At the same time, democracy empowers the impoverished majority, unleashing ethnic demagoguery, confiscation, and sometimes genocidal revenge. Sh

A Reader on Reading (9780300172089)

An intimate and exhilarating journey through the world of books by the internationally celebrated author In this major collection of his essays, Alberto Manguel, whom George Steiner has called "the Casanova of reading," argues that the activity of reading, in its broadest sense, defines our species. "We come into the world intent on finding narrative in everything," writes Manguel, "landscape, the skies, the faces of others, the images and words that our species create." Reading our own lives and those of others, reading the societies we live in and those that lie beyond our borders, reading the worlds that lie between the covers of a book are the essence of A Reader on Reading. The thirty-nine essays in this volume explore the crafts of reading and writing, the identity granted to us by literature, the far-reaching shadow of Jorge Luis Borges, to whom Manguel read as a young man, and the links between politics and books and between books and our bodies.

Prime Cut : Ein Australien-Krimi (9783426519592)

"Man hatte ihn abserviert, weil er faul, schludrig, inkompetent, arrogant und korrupt gewesen war." Cato Kwong, früher ein aufgehender Stern am australischen Polizeihimmel, ist auf dem Abstellgleis der Kriminalpolizei gelandet: beim Viehdezernat. Als in Hopetoun, einer boomenden Kleinstadt in West-Australien, eine Leiche ohne Kopf angespült wird, bekommt er seine zweite Chance. Sonnenschein und Meer - nicht die schlechtesten Bedingungen für die Aufklärung eines Mordfalls. Der Kaffee und die Leute sind allerdings ziemlich mies. Schnell wird Cato klar, dass der Aufschwung in Hopetoun seinen Preis hat: Mit ihm gehen Korruption, Ausbeutung und Rassismus einher. "Eine frische, rauhe Stimme im australischen Crime Beat" -

Business Systems and Organizational Capabilities : The Institutional Structuring of Competitive Competences (9780199205189)

Twenty-first century capitalism has been marked by an increasing international economic independence, and considerable differences between dominant economic systems of coordination and control. In this context, national competition and coordination within industries has increased, but the governance of leading firms, and the kinds of competences they develop, remain quite diverse. This book shows how different kinds of firms become established and develop different capabilities in different societies, and as a result are effective in particular kinds of industries and markets. By integrating institutionalist approaches to organizations with the capabilities theory of the firm, Richard Whitley suggests how we can understand this combination of diversity and integration by developing the comparative business systems framework in three major ways. First, by identifying the particular circumstances in which distinctive business systems and innovation systems become nationally established
