-Titulo Original : The World For Sale Money, Power, And The Traders Who Barter The Earths Resources-Fabricante : Oxford University Press-Descripcion Original: Shortlisted for the Financial Times & McKinsey Business Book of the Year AwardAn Economist Book of the YearThe modern world is built on commodities - from the oil that fuels our cars to the metals that power our smartphones.We rarely stop to consider where they have come from. But we should.The World for Sale lifts the lid on one of the least scrutinized corners of the world economy: the billionaire commodity traders who buy, hoard, and sell the earths resources. It is the story of how a handful of swashbuckling businessmen became indispensable cogs in global markets, enabling anenormous expansion in international trade and connecting resource-rich countries - no matter how corrupt or war-torn - with the worlds financial centers. The result is an eye-opening tour through the wildest frontiers of the global economy, as well as a revelatory guide to how capitalism reallyworks. Review If you have the slightest interest in how the modern world was made, by whom, at what price, and at what profit, this is the book for you... Superbly researched.-Foreign Policy Rollicking yarns from the biggest ever commodity boom . . . The high level narrative is gripping enough. But it is the details of what these freewheeling companies actually got up to that give the book a thriller-like quality . . .

There are tales in the book of breathtaking trades, such as shipments of rebel oil from war-torn Libya or deals bartered amid the brutal aluminium wars in the Russia of the 1990s.-The Economist The World For Sale contains at least half a dozen narrative threads that would form the basis of a good thriller. But the authors main achievement is to subject the biggest commodity players, and their impact on the real world, to proper critical scrutiny.-Reuters A colorful and alarming expose of the shadowy world of global commodity trading... Hair-raising anecdotes... An engrossing look at an obscure yet consequential corner of the financial world. --Publishers WeeklyA virtuoso depiction of the globes top oil, food and metals traders...

The depth of the reporting by the Bloomberg journalists, who previously worked for the Financial Times, is impressive... Fascinating. --ReutersSome of the stories beggar belief... A fascinating story, its just incredible some of the routes that the money takes. --Lawrence Pollard, BBC Newsday Could there be a better moment for Javier Blas and Jack Farchys rollicking new account of [commodity] markets recent history to land on investors desks? ...This high level narrative is gripping enough. But it is the details of what these freewheeling companies actually got up to that give thebook a thriller-like quality.

-Titulo Original : How The South Won The Civil War Oligarchy, Democracy, And The Continuing Fight For The Soul Of America-Fabricante : Oxford University Press-Descripcion Original: Named one of The Washington Posts 50 Notable Works of NonfictionWhile the North prevailed in the Civil War, ending slavery and giving the country a new birth of freedom, Heather Cox Richardson argues in this provocative work that democracys blood-soaked victory was ephemeral. The system that had sustained the defeated South moved westward and thereestablished a foothold. It was a natural fit. Settlers from the East had for decades been pushing into the West, where the seizure of Mexican lands at the end of the Mexican-American War and treatment of Native Americans cemented racial hierarchies. The South and West equally depended on extractiveindustries-cotton in the former and mining, cattle, and oil in the latter-giving rise a new birth of white male oligarchy, despite the guarantees provided by the 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments, and the economic opportunities afforded by expansion. To reveal why this happened, How the South Won the Civil War traces the story of the American paradox, the competing claims of equality and subordination woven into the nations fabric and identity. At the nations founding, it was the Eastern yeoman farmer who galvanized and symbolized theAmerican Revolution. After the Civil War, that mantle was assumed by the Western cowboy, singlehandedly defending his land against barbarians and savages as well as from a rapacious government. New states entered the Union in the late nineteenth century and western and southern leaders found yetmore common ground. As resources and people streamed into the West during the New Deal and World War II, the regions influence grew. Movement Conservatives, led by westerners Barry Goldwater, Richard Nixon, and Ronald Reagan, claimed to embody cowboy individualism and worked with Dixiecrats toembrace the ideology of the Confederacy.Richardsons searing book seizes upon the soul of the country and its ongoing struggle to provide equal opportunity to all. Debunking the myth that the Civil War released the nation from the grip of oligarchy, expunging the sins of the Founding, it reveals how and why the Old South not only survivedin the West, but thrived. Review Richardsons clear prose makes this book incredibly lively and accessible. -- Joseph Angelillo, ALPATA: A Journal of HistoryHeather Cox Richardson, a professor of history at Boston College, explains Goldwaters crusade and the trajectory of modern conservatism in her masterful How the South Won the Civil War: Oligarchy, Democracy, and the Continuing Fight for the Soul of America. A timely book, it sheds light on whatwas perhaps the most important political coalition of the 20th century. -- The Washington PostGood revisionist history jars you, forces you to look at the past in a new way, and thereby transforms your view of the present. Heather Cox Richardson is a master of the genre, to the benefit of us all. Even those who take issue with her will be forced by this powerful book to come to terms withaspects of our past that we often just sweep under the rug of memory. -- E.J. Dionne, Jr., author of Code Red: How Progressives and Moderates Can Unite to Save Our CountryIn a tour de force, Richardson exposes the philosophical connective tissue that runs from John C. Calhoun, to Barry Goldwater, to Donald Trump. Its not party, its a complex ideology that has swaddled white supremacy and its political, legal, economic, and physical violence in the language offreedom and rugged individualism, and, in doing so, repeatedly slashed a series of self-inflicted wounds on American democracy. -- Carol Anderson, Emory University, author of One Person, No Vote: How Voter Suppression is Destroying our DemocracyThe themes are broad and the implications mighty, but this isnt history from on high. Richardson uses a human lens to tell her tale, revealing the passions and power-plays that have sustained this battle for dominance. The end result is something rare and invaluable: a sk...

-Titulo Original : Breaking The Two-party Doom Loop The Case For Multiparty Democracy In America-Fabricante : Oxford University Press-Descripcion Original: A compelling case for large-scale electoral reform.American democracy is at an impasse. After years of zero-sum partisan trench warfare, our political institutions are deteriorating. Our norms are collapsing. Democrats and Republicans no longer merely argue; they cut off contact with each other. In short, the two-party system is breaking ourdemocracy, and driving us all crazy.Deftly weaving together history, democratic theory, and cutting edge political science research, Drutman tells the story of how American politics became so toxic, why the country is trapped in a doom loop of escalating two-party warfare, and why it is destroying the shared sense of fairness andlegitimacy on which democracy depends. He argues that the only way out is to have more partisanship-more parties, to short-circuit the zero-sum nature of binary partisan conflict. American democracy was once stable because the two parties held within them multiple factions, which made it possible toassemble flexible majorities and kept the temperature of political combat from overheating. But as conservative Southern Democrats and liberal Northeastern Republicans disappeared, partisan conflict flattened and pulled apart. Once the parties fully separated, toxic partisanship took over. With thetwo parties divided over competing visions of national identity, Democrats and Republicans no longer see each other as opponents, but as enemies. And the more the conflict escalates, the shakier our democracy feels. Breaking the Two-Party Doom Loop makes a compelling case for large-scale electoral reform--importantly, reform not requiring a constitutional amendment-that would give America more parties, making American democracy more representative, more responsive, and ultimately more stable. Review Highly Recommended. -- S.E. Schier, emeritus, Carleton College, CHOICELee Drutman is one of our most perceptive political thinkers, and this book is the type of fresh, clear-thinking we need to learn how to live with our age of partisan polarization, rather than simply to complain while it destroys us. --Ezra Klein, Editor-at-Large and Co-Founder, Vox MediaAmerican democracy is badly broken, but the enormity of fixing it so often seems impossible. Lee Drutman offers an accessible, lively, and deeply compelling antidote to despair, giving us a new way to think about American political history and to understand what is possible. This is a book ofrefreshingly big ideas that also provides a pragmatic path forward to a multi-party democracy that works. --Anne Marie Slaughter, CEO, New AmericaLee Drutmans Breaking the Two-Party Doom Loop is a lucid account of how our broken party system has undermined our constitutional order, and how rising ethnic and class antagonisms threaten to make matters worse in the decades to come. Drawing on cutting-edge social science and the wisdom of thefounding generation, he offers a series of bold, unconventional reforms designed to foster a healthier, more durable American democracy, and that merit close attention. --Reihan Salam, President, Manhattan Institute, and a contributing editor of The AtlanticDrutman, a political scientist and senior fellow at New America, writes that moving to a multiparty democracy can create fair representation, reduce partisan gridlock, lead to more positive incremental change, and increase both voter turnout and voter satisfaction. And through concrete reforms,like implementing ranked-choice voting and expanding the size of the House of Representatives, Drutman lays out the path forward. -- Washington MonthlyThe force of his argument, rigorous and limpidly expressed, is almost irresistible. He emerges as one of the keenest observers of Americas political pathologies-if only because he questions what others take for granted. Tracing the arc of the doom loop, he also spies a way out. --TheEconomistLee Drutman has quickly established himself as a first-rate scholar and public i...

Although Carroll intended Looking-Glass to be a follow-up piece to the immediately successful Alices Adventures in Wonderland (1865), he created an entirely new fantasy worldwith a revised narrative structure.

-Titulo Original : Daphnis And Chloe (oxford Worlds Classics)-Fabricante : Oxford University Press-Descripcion Original: Longuss romance tells the story of two teenagers, Daphnis and Chloe, who love each other but do not know how to make love. Around their predicament Longus weaves a fantasy which entertains and instructs, but never errs in taste. The hard toil and precariousness of peasant life are here, butso are its compensations--revelry, music, dance, and storytelling. Above the action brood divinities--Eros, Dionysus, Pan, the Nymphs--who collaborate to guide the adolescents into the mystery of Love, at once a sensual and a religious initiation. Daphnis and Chloe is the best known, and the best,of the early Greek romances, precursors to the modern novel. Admired by Goethe, it has been reinterpreted in music and art by Ravel and Chagall. This new translation is immensely readable, and does full justice to the humor and humanity of the story.About the Series: For over 100 years Oxford Worlds Classics has made available the broadest spectrum of literature from around the globe.

-Titulo Original : Pensees And Other Writings (oxford Worlds Classics)-Fabricante : Oxford University Press-Descripcion Original: For much of his life, Pascal (1623-62) worked on a magnum opus which was never published in the form the philosopher intended. Instead, Pascal left a mass of fragments, some of them meant as notes for the Apologie. These became known as the Pensees, and they occupy a crucial place inWestern philosophy and religious writing. Pascals general intention was to confound scepticism about metaphysical questions. Some of the Pensees are fully developed literary reflections on the human condition, some contradict others, and some remain jottings whose meaning will never be clear. The most important are among the most powerfulaphorisms about human experience and behavior ever written in any language.This translation is the only one based on the Pensees as Pascal left them. It includes the principal dossiers classified by Pascal, as well as the essential portion of the important Writings on Grace. A detailed thematic index gives access to Pascals areas of concern, while the selection of textsand the introduction help to show why Pascal changed the plan of his projected work before abandoning the book he might have written.About the Series: For over 100 years Oxford Worlds Classics has made available the broadest spectrum of literature from around the globe.
