50 PEOPLE WHO FOULED UP FOOTBALL | ||||||||
| by MICHAEL HENDERSON | |||||||||
| 页数:256 定价:12.99 英镑 上传日期:2010-3-11 | |||||||||
| 英文概要: | Despite its immense wealth, and the high public profile it enjoys, English football is not a land of milk and honey. The national side has won the World Cup only once when England staged the tournament in 1966 and the woeful performances in recent years would suggest that Sir Alf Ramsey’s success will retain its unique status. "Fifty People Who Fouled Up Football" casts a sceptical eye on the game in this country. It looks at the game as it really is, through the gaze of an outsider, who grew up loving the game but who has been turned off by the excesses of players, managers, broadcasters and fans, and increasingly by the rich men who own and run the clubs. The big bang came in 1992, when the Premier League went its own merry way, aided by the millions that Sky television found to ease the passage. Now the game is richer, and can attract the world’s leading stars, but it is poorer in spirit. The old football community means little to these Masters of the Universe. The old links between club and community have been ruined, and many players live in a different world, where they feel free to behave as they like. The book names the guilty, who include those on the fringes of the game as well as the ones at the heart of it. Indignant in the right sense, it is a lament for a spoilt game, and a world that has vanished. The 50 People are, in alphabetical order: Roman Abramovich, Sam Allardyce, Mike Ashley, David Baddiel, Tony Banks, Joey Barton, Ken Bates, Victoria Beckham, George Best, Sid and Doris Bonkers, Billy Bragg, Ashley Cole, Garry Cook, Hunter Davies, Didier Drogba, Martin Edwards, Sven-Goran Eriksson, ’The Fans’, Paul Gascoigne, ’Geordie Blubber’, ’The Golden Generation’, Alan Green, Alan Hansen, Derek Hatton, Nigel Kennedy, Richard Keys, Lord Kinnaird, Nick Love, Steve McClaren, Freddie Mercury, Piers Morgan, Jose Mourinho, Graham Poll, Sir Alf Ramsey, Antonio Rattin, Charles Reep, Don Revie, Peter Ridsdale, Robinho, Cristiano Ronaldo, Wayne Rooney, Richard Scudamore, Bill Shankly, Bob Shennan, Peter Swales, Gordon Taylor, Sir Harold Thompson, Terry Venables, Ian Wright, and Pini Zahavi. | |||||||

BLOSSOM INTO LIFE: EXPERIENCING LIVING ENLIGHTENMENT | ||||||||

| 页数:0 定价:0 美元 上传日期:2010-3-11 | |||||||||
| 英文概要: | Living Enlightenment contains the essence of all that Pramahamsa Nithyananda has said, is saying and will say. It is the work through which we are introducing the wisdom of this truly enlightened master and is the lead title in a new international publishing programme which Nithyananda Publishing is launching in the fall of 2010. Through powerful meditation techniques and the secrets of yoga, the book provides a rare enlightened insight into the inner workings of the mind and offers practical solutions for people seeking to make better sense of the ever complex world in which we live. Consciousness is the awareness that there is something more to life than the material pleasures that we seek. Consciousness is that tension within us that tells us there is something bigger than what we see. It is the beacon of inner awareness that guides us to a state of being where we realize that we are more than what we think we are. The understanding and the experience that we are one with the energy outside us expands our consciousness. We come to realize that we are one with every other individual, however different the individual may be in culture, color, language religion or tribe. We come to realize that we are all waves in the same cosmic ocean. |

MURDER CITY: CIUDAD JUAREZ AND THE GLOBAL ECONOMY’S NEW KILLING FIELDS | ||||||||
| by CHARLES BOWDEN | |||||||||
| 页数:0 定价:0 美元 上传日期:2010-3-11 | |||||||||
| 英文概要: | Ciudad Juárez lies just across the Rio Grande from El Paso, Texas. A once-thriving border town, it now resembles a failed state. Infamously known as the place where women disappear, its murder rate exceeds that of Baghdad. Last year 1,607 people were killed—a number that is on pace to increase in 2009. In Murder City, Charles Bowden—one of the few journalists who has spent extended periods of time in Juárez—has written an extraordinary account of what happens when a city disintegrates. Interweaving stories of its inhabitants—a raped beauty queen, a repentant hitman, a journalist fleeing for his life—with a broader meditation on the town’s descent into anarchy, Bowden reveals how Juárez’s culture of violence will not only worsen, but inevitably spread north. Heartbreaking, disturbing, and unforgettable, Murder City establishes Bowden as one of our leading writers working at the height of his powers. |

CITIES UNDER SIEGE: THE NEW MILITARY URBANISM | ||||||||
| by STEPHEN GRAHAM | |||||||||
| 页数:288 定价:34.95 美元 上传日期:2010-3-11 | |||||||||
| 英文概要: | Powerful exposé of how contemporary political violence now perates through sites, space and infrastructures of everyday life
Cities have become the new battleground of our increasingly urban world. From the slums of the global South to the wealthy financial centers of the West, Cities Under Siege traces how political violence now operates through the sites, spaces, infrastructures and symbols of the world’s rapidly expanding metropolitan areas. Drawing on a wealth of original research, Stephen Graham shows how Western and Israeli militaries and security forces now perceive all urban terrain as a real or imagined conflict zone inhabited by lurking, shadow enemies, and urban inhabitants as targets that need to be continually tracked, scanned, controlled and targeted. He examines the transformation of Western militaries into high-tech urban counter-insurgency forces, the militarization and surveillance of March international borders, the labelling as “terrorist” of democratic dissent and Politics/Geography protests, and the enacting of legislation suspending “normal” civilian law. In doing so, he reveals how the New Military Urbanism now permeates the entire fabric of our urban lives, from subway and transport systems hardwired with high-tech “command and control” systems and the infection of civilian policy with all-pervasive “security” discourses; to the pervasive militarization of popular culture. |

And a ship heading towards California carrying 72 tons of high-grade Thai marijuana, his last deal before going straight. On 30 June the DEA seized the ship in the biggest dope bust in history . . . and very soon Michael had nothing at all. A mild-mannered, public school educated Englishman who abhors violence, Michael was not the most likely drug smuggler but he was certainly one of the most successful. Now he shares his astonishing adventures as he found ever more inventive ways to smuggle dope from South-East Asia to the US. By the eighties Michael was juggling aliases, dodging the authorities and making millions of dollars. Until that final deal, too good to pass by, went horribly wrong and he was forced to go on the lam.

Botkin’s book cuts through the mass of hype, bias, and myth that characterize most of the information that the public receives and gives us a clear assessment of the sources, costs, environmental impacts, and potentials for the energy that supports America--and the world. Clear, well-researched and well-written, this book should be required reading for decision makers and voters alike.” Lee Talbot, Professor of Environmental Science and Policy at George Mason University, Fairfax, Virginia; and Senior Environmental Advisor to the World Bank, UN Agencies, and numerous national governments “A thought-provoking analysis of the nation’s energy future. Botkin demonstrates that we can have a safe, secure, stable energy future without sacrificing our quality of life, but not without major changes. It will require significant improvements in energy efficiency and a new mix of energy sources with much greater reliance on renewables--but it is achievable and affordable. You may not agree with his preferred allocation of energy sources in the portfolio for 2050, but he’ll make you think, and his list of proposed energy programs provides a valuable roadmap for our federal leaders.” Jerry R.

![]() 封面暂缺 | 英文概要: | "Memory Wall", the title sstory of this collection was commissioned by McSweeney’s. When Doerr delivered it, Dave Eggers wrote to him:"’Memory Wall’ is one of the best things we’ve ever published at McSweeney’s. It has the nuance and depth and complexity of a novel five times as long, and its characters and images are gloriously alive and absolutely indelible. I’m telling everyone they must read it." This volume is a masterpiece, a collection of stories about the power and fragility of memory that confirms both the unique and univeral in human experience. Set on four continents and featuring protagonists of all ages, Memory Wall transports readers ot different places and different characters, reminding us of the grandeur of life-of the mysterious beauty of seeds, of fossils, of sturgeon, of clouds, of radios, and leaves, and frost on windows, of the breathtaking fortune of living in such an interesting universe. Doerr’s language, his witness, his imagination, his humanity are unparalleled in fiction today. |
