Country Capitalism

How Corporations from the American South Remade Our Economy and the Planet

By: Bart Elmore

The rural roads that led to our planet-changing global economy ran through the American South. That region's impact on the interconnected histories of business and ecological change is narrated here by acclaimed scholar Bart Elmore, who uses the histories of five southern firms—Coca-Cola, Delta Airlines, Walmart, FedEx, and Bank of America—to investigate the environmental impact of our have-it-now, fly-by-night, buy-on-credit economy. Drawing on exclusive interviews with company executives, corporate archives, and other records, Elmore explores the historical, economic, and ecological conditions that gave rise to these five trailblazing corporations. He then considers what each has become: an essential presence in the daily workings of the global economy and an unmistakable contributor to the reshaping of the world's ecosystems. Even as businesses invest in sustainability initiatives and respond to new calls for corporate responsibility, Elmore shows the limits of their efforts to "green" their operations and offers insights on how governments and activists can push corporations to do better. At the root, Elmore reveals a fundamental challenge: Our lives are built around businesses that connect far-flung rural places to urban centers and global destinations. This "country capitalism" that proved successful in the US South has made it possible to satisfy our demands at the click of a button, but each click comes with hidden environmental costs. This book is a must-read for anyone who hopes to create an ecologically sustainable future economy.

The Gross

The Hits, The Flops—The Summer That Ate Hollywood

By: Peter Bart

A look at the new Hollywood by the longtime editor-in-chief of Variety. The ultimate insider follows the winners and losers of Hollywood's 1998 Summer Season. Welcome to Hollywood, where gambling is a way of life -- and the wagers run into the hundreds of millions of dollars. But in the summer of 1998 all bets are off. The man who knows every mover, shaker, and faker explains why no one can explain the surprising season. Peter Bart goes behind the scenes like no one can to track the summer movies from development through release. He will reveal why "Godzilla" could never live up to its hype; how intense rivals Robert Redford and Warren Beatty saw their worst nightmares come true when they went head-to-head at the box office; how Jim Carrey's "Truman Show" stole the show; and how Steven Spielberg regained his title of king of the summer in a season where sleepers upset would-be blockbusters. While asteroid movies were colliding with each other, a billionaire newcomer was making superhuman attempts to resuscitate a moribund Universal Studios. With interviews from studio executives, producers, directors, agents, and stars, Peter Bart unveils the winners and losers in the new Hollywood, where creativity and commerce hang in a precarious balance.

Yodel in Hi-Fi

From Kitsch Folk to Contemporary Electronica

By: Bart Plantenga

Yodel in Hi-Fi explores the vibrant and varied traditions of yodelers around the world. Far from being a quaint and dying art, yodel is a thriving vocal technique that has been perennially renewed by singers from Switzerland to Korea, from Colorado to Iran. Bart Plantenga offers a lively and surprising tour of yodeling in genres from opera to hip-hop and in venues from cowboy campfires and Oktoberfests to film soundtracks and yogurt commercials. Displaying an extraordinary versatility, yodeling crosses all borders and circumvents all language barriers to assume its rightful place in the world of music. “If Wisconsin wasn’t on the yodel music map before, this book puts it there.”—Wisconsin State Journal

Shadow Seduction

By: Teddy Bart

Why do decent people do shameful things? While media attention focuses on the misbehavior of the rich and famous, every day, thousands of ordinary people make choices for which they suffer humiliation, emotional pain, and loss. They can hide behind the cloak of anonymity and their stories are rarely told. Such was the case of Jonathan Feldman, a respected sixty-nine-year-old businessman. Since childhood, Jonathan has had an ongoing relationship with what Dr. Carl Jung would call his shadoweverything that is repressed, undeveloped, and denied in ones self. For Jonathan, this darker alter ego is the famous actor he had aspired to become. Jonathans shadow manifests as an apparitional entity co-existing as the antagonist, snidely debating with Jonathan as he wrestles with his options, cleverly influencing him to make a series of bad choices. And if Jonathan isnt careful, his shadow could ultimately lead him into planning his final exit. As he did with A Particle of God, author Teddy Bart probes one of lifes enigmas through the journey toward self-discovery of Jonathan Feldman.
