Healing Capitalism

Five Years in the Life of Business, Finance and Corporate Responsibility

By: Jem Bendell,Ian Doyle

The global response from business to social and environmental issues during the past decade has created a corporate responsibility movement. But what has been the impact of this movement? The financial crisis that began in 2007 has led more and more people to question the fundamentals of our economic system. Now, some within the corporate responsibility movement are developing a vision and practice of a new form of capitalism, one that will require collective action to achieve. Bendell and Doyle draw on Lifeworth's annual reviews of corporate responsibility and explain how business leaders, stakeholders and related academe now need to experiment with new models that address the fundamental flaws of contemporary capitalism, including monetary systems, enterprise ownership, and regulation. This book will be a fantastic resource for business libraries, as it records and analyses key events, issues and trends in corporate responsibility during the first decade of the 21st century. It is a sequel and companion to Bendell's previous work, The Corporate Responsibility Movement.

The Fully Authorised History of I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue

The Clue Bible from Footlights to Mornington Crescent

By: Jem Roberts

It's a great missing piece of the jigsaw - people go on endlessly about Python and Peter Cook, which is all well and good but there's basically this great corpus of work stretching for decades - and consistently good ... A major piece of work, and universally loved.' So says John Lloyd, brains behind Blackadder, QI, Spitting Image, and so much besides - all shows with a massive debt to I'm Sorry I'll Read That Again and I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue. Together they form a body of work stretching across five decades, from Cambridge in 1960 to today's world-beating Antidote to Panel Games, a laughter-bringer which has inspired unparalleled adoration in millions over fifty series. This book tells the whole story, from Footlights to Broadway to the ferret-filled madness of Radio Prune - comedy's answer to the rock & roll revolution of the sixties. Offering an exhaustive guide to the comedy world that brought us Mornington Crescent, besides episode guides, glossaries and rare facsimiles, Jem Roberts will take the story right up to the present day, celebrating the lives of Willie Rushton, Sir David Hatch and of course, the irreplaceable Humphrey Lyttelton. With exclusive input from the Teams, plus Bill Oddie, Stephen Fry, Bill Bailey, Neil Innes and many more, this is the long-overdue authoritative, entertaining and, above all, very silly lasting celebration of an unsung comic legacy that both shows so richly deserve.

By: Jem Lester

An unforgettable first novel' The Times * * * * * THE EBOOK BESTSELLER ABOUT FATHERS, SONS AND LOVE Ten-year-old Jonah lives in a world of his own.

Inspired by the author's experiences with his own son, SHTUM is a novel about three generations of a family learning to get along. * * * * * 'A book with true heart and soul' Joanna Cannon 'Whether you think Shtum is a novel about autism or about marriage (it's both, by the way), you will agree that it is, in the end, a love story infused with wit, charm, and a deep appreciation for the complex beauty of damaged souls.'

The Corporate Responsibility Movement

Five Years of Global Corporate Responsibility Analysis from Lifeworth, 2001-2005

By: Jem Bendell

Corporate social responsibility is now an established agenda for large companies, with a new profession emerging that engages in the social and environmental contribution of business. How has this agenda emerged over time? What were the key events and actors? How has this new "movement" of committed individuals been taking shape around the globe? Insights into these questions come from a review of the first half of first decade of the 21st century. The Corporate Responsibility Movement compiles Lifeworth's highly praised Annual Reviews of Corporate Responsibility from 2001 to 2005.It is introduced with a new overview by the lead author of those reviews, Dr Jem Bendell, in a piece that examines the trajectory of a new social movement in and around business. At a time of searching questions about the future of finance, Dr Bendell argues that a new concept of "capital democracy" is emerging from within the community of people working towards corporate responsibility, which could be mainstreamed as a socially and environmentally enhanced system of economy. He calls on professionals, researchers and policy-makers to embrace an ambitious agenda for corporate responsibility and develop greater insight into acting together as a movement for change.This book is an essential resource for business libraries, recording, analysing and contextualising some of the key events, issues and trends during this historic period in the development of the corporation.

Peacemaking in the Middle Ages

Principles and practice

By: J. E. M. Benham

Peacemaking in the Middle Ages explores the making of peace in the late-twelfth and early thirteenth centuries based on the experiences of the kings of England and the kings of Denmark. From dealing with owing allegiance to powerful neighbours to conquering the ‘barbarians’, this book offers a vision of how relationships between rulers were regulated and maintained, and how rulers negotiated, resolved, avoided and enforced matters in dispute in a period before nation states and international law. This is the first full-length study in English of the principles and practice of peacemaking in the medieval period. Its findings have wider significance and applications, and numerous comparisons are drawn with the peacemaking activities of other western European rulers, in the medieval period and beyond. This book will appeal to scholars and students of medieval Europe, but also those with a more general interest in kingship, warfare, diplomacy and international relations.

Labour Relations in Eastern Europe

Organisational Design and Dynamics

By: Krastya Petkov,J E M Thirkell

Changes in labour relations in Eastern Europe arising from recent political events can only be understood against an explanation of the existing structures and mechanisms of labour relations. This full-length collaborative study - the first in its field - analyses these structures and mechanisms by focusing on the radical reforms undertaken in Bulgaria over the last decade. Using a wealth of case studies, it looks at the action processes within enterprises and at the processes of strategy formulation on a national level in Bulgaria, and compares them with those processses in other Eastern European countries such as Yugoslavia and Hungary.

Revolver 34

By: Denis Lavant,Chris Marker,Jem Cohen,Alfred Guzzetti

Sollten wir heute andere Filme machen als gestern? Haben wir überhaupt eine Wahl, oder wird die neue Lage, der neue gute oder böse Geist, sowieso durch uns und unsere Filme hindurch atmen? Manche machen drei Filme im Jahr, immer am Puls der Zeit, Stachel im Fleisch einer Gesellschaft, oder wenigstens spielerische Ausprobierer in Form und Gefühl. Andere bringen alle fünf Jahre einen Film zur Welt. Filme wie Kinder, die aufwachsen, uns begleiten und verändern, um am Ende vielleicht groß, gar bedeutend zu werden oder sich zuletzt einfach in der Masse der brav Arbeitenden einzuordnen. Was all jene, die Filme machen, verbindet, ist die ganz persönliche Hoffnung, dass „vielleicht morgen oder übermorgen oder an einem der kommenden Tage”, wie Chantal Akerman schreibt, „etwas aus dem völligen Dunkel zum Vorschein kommt und man plötzlich sicher ist, dies wird ein schönes Stück Kino.“ Die Herausgeber Inhalt Vorwort Chantal Akerman: An dem Tag...
