"A read so riveting, it's not hard to imagine watching it unfold on Sunday nights." -The Associated Press The inside story of HBO, the start-up company that reinvented television-by two veteran media reporters HBO changed how stories could be told on TV. The Sopranos, Sex and the City, The Wire, Game of Thrones. The network's meteoric rise heralded the second golden age of television with serialized shows that examined and reflected American anxieties, fears, and secret passions through complicated characters who were flawed and often unlikable. HBO's own behind-the-scenes story is as complex, compelling, and innovative as the dramas the network created, driven by unorthodox executives who pushed the boundaries of what viewers understood as television at the turn of the century. Originally conceived by a small upstart group of entrepreneurs to bring Hollywood movies into living rooms across America, the scrappy network grew into one of the most influential and r...

The study of consumption and its relationship to cultural and social values has become a vibrant and important field in recent years. Hitherto however, relatively few detailed and full length works on this topic have been published. In what will become a seminal volume, this book examines retail selling in various historical contexts and locations, as both an activity at once 'mundane' and almost universal. The book introduces the reader to the existing literature relevant to the subject; and explores the widespread perceptions of moral ambiguity surrounding the practice of selling consumer goods - ranging from concerns about the adulteration of goods, to fears about sharp practice on the part of retailers - and places such concerns in the context of wider societal values and ideas. The ambivalence towards retail selling and sellers is also a central focus of the collection, focussing on the attempts by retailers to develop selling techniques and successful practices of salesm...

Ein schwarzer Hund läuft durch dieses Buch, von Seite zu Seite wird er größer, irgendwann ist er riesig, am Ende jedoch sitzt er brav und klein an der Leine: Der schwarze Hund, das ist die Depression, die Matthew Johnstone viele Jahre begleitete. In einer berührenden Bildergeschichte erzählt er davon, wie sie ihn fast umgebracht hätte und wie er es schließlich schaffte,sich Schritt für Schritt wieder von ihr zu befreien. Der schwarze Hund späht um die Ecke. Er legt sich einem auf die Brust und beherrscht die Gedanken. Er sitzt im Kopf und zerfetzt die Erinnerungen. Er lungert daneben, wenn man sich sinnlos betrinkt: Matthew Johnstone findet für den schwer fassbaren Zustand der Depression einfache, zwingende Bilder, die Betroffenen, deren Angehörigen und Freunden helfen können: Sich nicht alleine damit zu fühlen, sich mitteilen zu können, Verständnis zu entwickeln, miteinander darüber ins Gespräch zu kommen und nie die Hoffnung zu verlieren. ...

In The Devil and Philosophy, 34 philosophers explore questions about one of the most recognizable and influential characters (villains?) of all time. From Roman Polanski's The Ninth Gate to J. R. R. Tolkien's The Silmarillion to Bram Stoker's Dracula to Darth Vader to Al Pacino's iconic performance in The Devil's Advocate, this book demonstrates that a little devil goes a long way. From humorous appearances, as in Kevin Smith's film Dogma and Chuck Palahniuk's novels Damned and Doomed, to more villainous appearances, such as Gabriel Byrne's cold outing as Satan in End of Days, The Devil in Philosophy proves that the Devil comes in many forms. Are there any good arguments for the actual existence of the Devil? Does demonic evil thrive in Gotham City? Can humans really be accountable for all evil? Which truths about the Devil are actual facts? Is Milton correct, in that the Devil believes he is doing good? Through the lenses of Jung, Kant, Kundera, ...

Victor Papaneks Design for the Real World" z hlt international zu den meist gelesenen Designb chern aller Zeiten. Das Buch basiert auf dem Erwachen eines alternativen Designbegriffs vor dem Hintergrund des aufkommenden Postfordismus und der New Social Movements. Neben einer breiten Kultur- und Konsumkritik greift Papanek soziale und kologische Prinzipien f r eine partizipatorische, dezentralisierte und demokratisierte Designpraxis auf. Verst rkt durch die aktuelle Auseinandersetzung mit Fragen des Klima- und Umweltschutzes, gewinnt Papaneks Werk zunehmend an Bedeutung. Kaum eine Literaturempfehlungsliste im Bereich des Sozialen und Kritischen Design kommt derzeit ohne seine Schriften aus. Erstmals 1970 in Schwedisch erschienen, folgten bersetzungen in ber 20 Sprachen; mit der mittlerweile vergriffenen deutschen bersetzung war Papanek Zeit seines Lebens unzufrieden. Kurz vor seinem Tod im Januar 1998 wurde eine von Papanek akkordierte Neu bersetzung begonnen, deren Ver ffentlichung...
