On ship-tracking Web sites, the waters are black with dots. Each dot is a ship; each ship is laden with boxes; each box is laden with goods. In postindustrial economies, we no longer produce but buy, and so we must ship. Without shipping there would be no clothes, food, paper, or fuel. Without all those dots, the world would not work. Yet freight shipping is all but invisible. Away from public scrutiny, it revels in suspect practices, dubious operators, and a shady system of flags of convenience. And then there are the pirates.
Rose George, acclaimed chronicler of what we would rather ignore, sails from Rotterdam to Suez to Singapore on ships the length of football fields and the height of Niagara Falls; she patrols the Indian Ocean with an anti-piracy task force; she joins seafaring chaplains, and investigates the harm that ships inflict on endangered whales. Sharply informative and entertaining, Ninety Percent of Everything reveals the workings and perils of an unseen world that holds the key to our economy, our environment, and our very civilization.

Описание: McCutcheon (1866-1928) was an American popular novelist and playwright whose best known works include the series of novels set in Graustark, a fictional Eastern European country, and the novel Brewster's Millions which has been adapted into a play and several films. He was born in Tippecanoe County, Indiana and his father, despite his own lack of formal education, stressed the value of literature and encouraged his sons to write. He studied at Purdue University and during his college years was editor of the Lafayette Daily Courier and wrote a serial story about Wabash River life. Despite his Graustark novels being popular bestsellers which brought him widespread fame, McCutcheon hated the characterisation of being a romantic and preferred to be identified with his playwriting. This circus-themed novel was first published in 1910 and adapted into a silent film in 1914 by Cecil B DeMille under the title The Circus Man.

George Название: From the Ground Up: Essays on Grassroots Democracy ISBN: 1551647362 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781551647364 Издательство: Неизвестно Рейтинг: Цена: 41380.00 T Наличие на складе: Невозможна поставка. Описание: Should today's activists aim for more than reformist changes in the policies and personnel of giant corporations and the government? In this collection of classic essays, C. George Benello persuasively argues that modern so-cial movements need to rise to the challenge of spearheading a radical re-organization of society based on the principles of decentralization, community control, and participatory democracy.
Integrating some of the best of New Left thought and practice with more recent populist and Green perspectives, Benello's essays and the commentaries of Harry Boyte, Steve Chase, Walda Katz-Fishman, Jane Mansbridge, Chuck Turner, and other major activists from the 1960's offer important insights for today's new generation of practical utopians. Originally published in 1993, this revised and updated edition also includes "The New Movement and its Theory of Organization," a discussion by David Wieck, Todd Gitlin, George Woodcock, J. F. Conway, and Joan Renold.

Описание: Recent wave of liberalisation, privatisation and globalisation (LPG) of national economies has limited the policy options of a greater number of developing countries. The impact of LPG on public policy formulation is evident both at the macro and micro level. At the macro level, various national governments are no longer in a position to retain state regulation not only in the economic realm but also with respect to the social sectors. Macro level policies are aimed at increasing the stake of private players and the privatisation drive is largely at the cost of state control. Micro level issues are sector- and case-specific. LPG has impacted Common Property Resources (CPRs) in many ways. For example, there has been a fatal blow to the harmonious relationship between state regulation and community ownership regimes. The issue of water is a good case in point. The opening up of the state regime of CPRs to the free play of foreign and domestic capital has adversely affected the interests of marginal, vulnerable and socially disadvantaged groups of society. Privatisation has resulted in the reckless exploitation of CPRs by foreign and domestic private corporations. This work is an attempt to explore the multi-dimensional effects of globalisation, liberalisation and privatisation on common property resources in the context of human rights.
