Описание: The Death and Life of the Music Industry in the Digital Age challenges the conventional wisdom that the internet is 'killing' the music industry. While technological innovations (primarily in the form of peer-to-peer file-sharing) have evolved to threaten the economic health of major transnational music companies, Rogers illustrates how those same companies have themselves formulated highly innovative response strategies to negate the harmful effects of the internet. In short, it documents how the radical transformative potential of the internet is being suppressed by legal and organisational innovations. Grounded in a social shaping perspective, The Death and Life of the Music Industry in the Digital Age contends that the internet has not altered pre-existing power relations in the music industry where a small handful of very large corporations have long since established an oligopolistic dominance. Furthermore, the book contends that widespread acceptance of the idea that online piracy is rampant, and music largely 'free' actually helps these major music companies in their quest to bolster their power. In doing this, the study serves to deflate much of the transformative hype and digital 'deliria' that has accompanied the internet's evolution as a medium for mass communication.

Описание: Drive . . . and grow rich The bestselling author of Investment Biker is back from the ultimate road trip: a three-year drive around the world that would ultimately set the Guinness record for the longest continuous car journey. In Adventure Capitalist, legendary investor Jim Rogers, dubbed “the Indiana Jones of finance” by "Time" magazine, proves that the best way to profit from the global situation is to see the world mile by mile. “While I have never patronized a prostitute,” he writes, “I know that one can learn more about a country from speaking to the madam of a brothel or a black marketeer than from meeting a foreign minister.” Behind the wheel of a sunburst-yellow, custom-built convertible Mercedes, Rogers and his fiancée, Paige Parker, began their “Millennium Adventure” on January 1, 1999, from Iceland. They traveled through 116 countries, including many where most have rarely ventured, such as Saudi Arabia, Myanmar, Angola, Sudan, Congo, Colombia, and East Timor. They drove through war zones, deserts, jungles, epidemics, and blizzards. They had many narrow escapes. They camped with nomads and camels in the western Sahara. They ate silkworms, iguanas, snakes, termites, guinea pigs, porcupines, crocodiles, and grasshoppers. Best of all, they saw the real world from the ground up—the only vantage point from which it can be truly understood—economically, politically, and socially. Here are just a few of the author’s conclusions: • The new commodity bull market has started. • The twenty-first century will belong to China. • There is a dramatic shortage of women developing in Asia. • Pakistan is on the verge of disintegrating. • India, like many other large nations, will break into several countries. • The Euro is doomed to fail. • There are fortunes to be made in Angola. • Nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) are a scam. • Bolivia is a comer after decades of instability, thanks to gigantic amounts of natural gas. Adventure Capitalist is the most opinionated, sprawling, adventurous journey you’re likely to take within the pages of a book—the perfect read for armchair adventurers, global investors, car enthusiasts, and anyone interested in seeing the world and understanding it as it really is.

On growing up with a dad who firmly believed that all Democrats are nuts: "He drilled it into my long term memory that the government doesn't need to tax us more they just need to be more wise about how they spend it."
On Trump's 45 minute announcement speech at Trump Tower on June 16th, 2015: "June 16th was a return fire missile launching that was meant to protect a large group of people that felt ignored and pushed aside for the past eight years."
On the similarities between Minnesota governor Jesse Ventura's win in 1998 and Donald Trump's win in 2016: "Anything in politics is possible if the people have had enough of the establishment...They will indeed rise up and win elections that nobody else thought they could win."
On President Trump's anti politically correct movement where it was okay to say Merry Christmas again: "To many it was a breath of fresh air after a growing number of years of having the air contaminated by over politically correct nonsense."
On comparing the old days of CNN to what they are now: "What was once a respected news outlet has turned into nothing but a Democratic left wing network that spews nothing but propagandized editorialized filth."
On the Republicans failure to come up with a plan for affordable health care: "Two years to come up with a solution...The Republicans apparently didn't fully hear the message that 63 million voters sent on election day."
On the Democrats resist, obstruct and impeach movement since Trump was elected: "It was an awfully disgraceful display of politics by a corrupt party...I truly hope that they get their party put back together for future elections. Until they do that I'm not interested."

Описание: "People's minds are changed through observation and not through argument." -Will Rogers
Will Rogers came from humble beginnings but changed the world. Through his radio broadcasts, newspaper columns, and films, he became one of the most popular and beloved figures of the day. In Will to Win, the latest offering in the Homecoming Historical Series, Jim Stovall weaves the story of Sky Forest, a senior at Will Rogers High School in Oklahoma. With the words and perceived presence of Will Rogers and the Cherokee wisdom of her grandmother, Sky is emboldened to face adversity and demonstrate the will to succeed. Her grandmother tells her, "Sky, I believe our ancestors have gone before us to show us the path and help us along the way. Will Rogers was the most famous Cherokee of his time and arguably the most famous Cherokee of any time. I think his words and his example had a lot to say then just like they do now."
Join Sky on her journey as she faces the disappointment of a canceled softball season, the challenge of becoming a pitcher on the all-male baseball team, and the uproar it raised by going against the norm. Through her determination, poise, and athletic ability, Sky changes the minds of the many who oppose her. Enjoy the baseball-centered storyline, Will Rogers' favorite sport, as you are inspired by the wit, wisdom, and timeless impact of Will Rogers.
Geriatric Monologues, a Readers Theater Play in One and Two Act formats.
Some Smiles and Frowns From the Road Most Travel
The final porch of life where self-made philosophers act as messengers and rock to the rhythm and the beats that formed their lives and lead them to a place of sharing and remembering, composing acapella poetic operettas of what's to come for most.
This is a story about discovery and acceptance.
GERIATRIC MONOLOGUES is a collection of thoughts, emotions, opinions, revelations and confessions of women and men thought to be old or on their way to being old. The notes to themselves about growing old are shared by our messengers with others on the same journey in hopes that the starts and stops on the trip will be less bumpy and hold out more hope for the final destination.
