The Globalization of Advertising

Agencies, Cities and Spaces of Creativity

By: James R. Faulconbridge,Peter Taylor,Corinne Nativel,Jonathan Beaverstock

The Globalization of Advertising draws upon previously unpublished research to unpack the contemporary structure, spatial organization and city geographies of global advertising agencies. The book demonstrates how teamwork in contemporary advertising agencies, intra-organizational power relations and the distribution of organizational capabilities all define how global agencies operate as transnationally integrated organizations. This in turn allows understanding to be developed of the role of the offices of global agencies located in the three case study cities, Detroit, Los Angeles and New York. The role of these three cities as preeminent markets for advertising in the USA is shown to have changed radically over recent years, experiencing both growth and decline in employment as a result of their position in global networks of advertising work; networks that operate in the context of a changing US economy and the rise of new and emerging centres of advertising in Asia and South America.

Tempest

The Royal Navy and the Age of Revolutions

By: James Davey

A major new history of the Royal Navy during the tumultuous age of revolution The French Revolutionary Wars catapulted Britain into a conflict against a new enemy: Republican France. Britain relied on the Royal Navy to protect its shores and empire, but as radical ideas about rights and liberty spread across the globe, it could not prevent the spirit of revolution from reaching its ships. In this insightful history, James Davey tells the story of Britain’s Royal Navy across the turbulent 1790s. As resistance and rebellion swept through the fleets, the navy itself became a political battleground. This was a conflict fought for principles as well as power. Sailors organized riots, strikes, petitions, and mutinies to achieve their goals. These shocking events dominated public discussion, prompting cynical—and sometimes brutal—responses from the government. Tempest uncovers the voices of ordinary sailors to shed new light on Britain’s war with France, as the age of revolution played out at every level of society.

Money of the Mind

How the 1980s Got That Way

By: James Grant

The 1980s witnessed a lemming-like rush into the sea of debt on the part of the American industrial and financial communities, with consequences we are only beginning to appreciate. But the speculative frenzy of the eighties didn't just happen. It was the culmination of a long cycle of slow relaxation of credit practices--the subject of James Grant's brilliant, clear-eyed history of American finance. Two long-running trends converged in the 1980s to create one of our greatest speculative booms: the democratization of credit and the socialization of risk. At the turn of the century, it was almost impossible for the average working person to get a loan. In the 1980s, it was almost impossible to refuse one. As the pace of lending grew, the government undertook to bear more and more of the creditors' risk--a pattern, begun in the Progressive era, which reached full flower in the "conservative" administration of Ronald Reagan. Based on original scholarship as well as firsthand observation, Grant's book puts our recent love affair with debt in an entirely fresh, often chilling, perspective. The result is required--and wickedly entertaining--reading for everyone who wants or needs to understand how the world really works. "A brilliantly eccentric, kaleidoscopic tour of our credit lunacy. . . . A splendid, tooth-gnashing saga that should be savored for its ghoulish humor and passionately debated for its iconoclastic analysis. It is a fitting epitaph to the credit binge of the '80s."--Ron Chernow, The Wall Street Journal.

Zen and the Brain

Toward an Understanding of Meditation and Consciousness

By: James H. Austin

A neuroscientist and Zen practitioner interweaves the latest research on the brain with his personal narrative of Zen. Aldous Huxley called humankind's basic trend toward spiritual growth the "perennial philosophy." In the view of James Austin, the trend implies a "perennial psychophysiology"—because awakening, or enlightenment, occurs only when the human brain undergoes substantial changes. What are the peak experiences of enlightenment? How could these states profoundly enhance, and yet simplify, the workings of the brain? Zen and the Brain presents the latest evidence. In this book Zen Buddhism becomes the opening wedge for an extraordinarily wide-ranging exploration of consciousness. In order to understand which brain mechanisms produce Zen states, one needs some understanding of the anatomy, physiology, and chemistry of the brain. Austin, both a neurologist and a Zen practitioner, interweaves the most recent brain research with the personal narrative of his Zen experiences. The science is both inclusive and rigorous; the Zen sections are clear and evocative. Along the way, Austin examines such topics as similar states in other disciplines and religions, sleep and dreams, mental illness, consciousness-altering drugs, and the social consequences of the advanced stage of ongoing enlightenment.

Hidden Power

The Strategic Logic of Organized Crime

By: James Cockayne

What should we make of the outsized role organized crime plays in conflict and crisis, from drug wars in Mexico to human smuggling in North Africa, from the struggle in Crimea to scandals in Kabul? How can we deal with the convergence of politics and crime in so-called 'mafia states' such as Guinea-Bissau, North Korea or, as some argue, Russia? Drawing on unpublished government documents and mafia memoirs, James Cockayne discovers the strategic logic of organized crime, hidden in a century of forgotten political--criminal collaboration in New York, Sicily and the Caribbean. He reveals states and mafias competing - and collaborating -- in a competition for governmental power. He discovers mafias influencing elections, changing constitutions, organizing domestic insurgencies and transnational terrorism, negotiating peace deals, and forming governmental joint ventures with ruling groups. And he sees mafias working with the US government to spy on American citizens, catch Nazis, try to assassinate Fidel Castro, invade and govern Sicily, and playing unappreciated roles in the Bay of Pigs fiasco and the Cuban Missile Crisis.

Four More Years

Nearly Assassinated the President Is Reelected and Seeks Revenge

By: J. Shanni James J. Shanni,James J. Shanni

Having had such distinguished founders as George Washington, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, and Benjamin Franklin, our country has somehow elected the likes of Richard Nixon, Jimmy Carter, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reed, Barney Frank, and Christopher Dodd. While the premise of Four More Years is in many ways outlandish, it is in many ways a reflection of the deterioration in the morals of our modern leaders. Who would knowingly promote and use their political power and influence to coerce lenders, under threat of reprisals, to make loans they knew would not be paid? Who would allow the Chinese government to make contributions to a presidential campaign through intermediaries and in return be allowed to "steal" missile technology? In terms of fiscal responsibility, who would vote for 9,000 individual spending projects, amounting to hundreds of billions of dollars, a bridge to nowhere, the mating habits of the chimpanzee, or many other such outrageous wastes of taxpayer money? Our whole Congress-Republicans and Democrats alike-that's who! While there are some exceptions, the people we have elected to run our country in recent decades have, to put it in a nice way, been morally challenged and corrupted by the political process. Four More Years is a story about a man elected to lead the most powerful army on the planet and who uses that power to seek revenge against rival political factions that botched an attempt to assassinate him. Too late to realize he was wrong, he pays a price far greater than he ever expected. Four More Years tells the story of a president who used U.S. Special Forces to kill everyone he suspected of being part of the conspiracy to assassinate him and of Mafia revenge when they fight back. Raised in a family that was among the wealthiest in the nation, he never really understood the mentality of a street fighter. Realizing he could never win the fight he started, he resigns the presidency in the hope of putting an end to the murders.

Between Church and State

Religion and Public Education in a Multicultural America

By: James W. Fraser

Today, the ongoing battle between religion and public education is once again a burning issue in the United States. Prayer in the classroom, the teaching of creationism, the representation of sexuality in the classroom, and the teaching of morals are just a few of the subjects over which these institutions are skirmishing. James Fraser shows that though these battles have been going on for as long as there have been public schools, there has never been any consensus about the proper relationship between religion and public education. Looking at the most difficult question of how private issues of faith can be reconciled with the very public nature of schooling, Fraser paints a picture of our multicultural society that takes our relationship with God into account.
