Book Description
Joanna Fuhrman's sixth poetry collection is a fearless blend of the real and the surreal, the political and the personal, all with the marks of her own kind of accelerated dizzying style that nevertheless brings you along with it. "Fuhrman's got her own funky brand of blended surrealism and fabulism going on in To a New Era. The poems in this tour de force offer funicular modes of language transport, making it a dizzying, dazzling joy to be a commuter on this collection (see 'Adjunct Commuter' poems). Sentience abounds; metamorphoses are in the poetry's plasma. Formal poems emit a flirty, contemporary spirit of rebellion. Political poems are pissed, hilarious, iconoclastic, in debate with language's complicated connotations, histories, and alternate histories. In To a New Era, Fuhrman toasts to the cyclones that blow through our days and our nights. This collection is one storm of words that will bowl you over! " -Martine Bellen

American Foreign Policy in a New Era
Author: Robert Jervis
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 113542523X
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 204
Book Description
To say that the world changed drastically on 9/11 has become a truism and even a cliché. But the incontestable fact is that a new era for both the world and US foreign policy began on that infamous day and the ramifications for international politics have been monumental. In this book, one of the leading thinkers in international relations, Robert Jervis, provides us with several snapshots of world politics over the past few years. Jervis brings his acute analysis of international politics to bear on several recent developments that have transformed international politics and American foreign policy including the War on Terrorism; the Bush Doctrine and its policies of preventive war and unilateral action; and the promotion of democracy in the Middle East (including the Iraq War) and around the world. Taken together, Jervis argues, these policies constitute a blueprint for American hegemony, if not American empire. All of these events and policies have taken place against a backdrop equally important, but less frequently discussed: the fact that most developed nations, states that have been bitter rivals, now constitute a "security community" within which war is unthinkable. American Foreign Policy in a New Era is a must read for anyone interested in understanding the policies and events that have shaped and are shaping US foreign policy in a rapidly changing and still very dangerous world.

The New Era
Author: Paul V. Murphy
Publisher: Rowman & Littlefield Publishers
ISBN: 1442215402
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 283
Book Description
In the 1920s, Americans talked of their times as “modern,” which is to say, fundamentally different, in pace and texture, from what went before—a new era. With the end of World War I, an array of dizzying inventions and trends pushed American society from the Victorian era into modernity. The New Era provides a history of American thought and culture in the 1920s through the eyes of American intellectuals determined to move beyond an older role as gatekeepers of cultural respectability and become tribunes of openness, experimentation, and tolerance instead. Recognizing the gap between themselves and the mainstream public, younger critics alternated between expressions of disgust at American conformity and optimistic pronouncements of cultural reconstruction. The book tracks the emergence of a new generation of intellectuals who made culture the essential terrain of social and political action and who framed a new set of arguments and debates—over women’s roles, sex, mass culture, the national character, ethnic identity, race, democracy, religion, and values—that would define American public life for fifty years.

New Era Value Investing
Author: Nancy Tengler
Publisher: John Wiley & Sons
ISBN: 0471440205
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 243
Book Description
A unique guide that combines the best of traditional value theory with an innovative approach to assessing value in low or non-dividend paying stocks In the 1990s, America's focus on productivity and innovation led to huge gains in technology, communication, and healthcare stocks, and contributed to the transformation of the U.S. stock market from a value (dividend-paying orientation) to a growth (nondividend-paying) bias. During this time, forward thinking value managers began to develop analytical tools for valuing nondividend paying stocks. These tools allowed them to evaluate and identify the best investments in both traditional and nontraditional value sectors. At the forefront of this movement was author Nancy Tengler who, along with Noel DeDora, developed "Relative Value Discipline," an approach-which combines two proven methods for valuing growth stocks: Relative Dividend Yield and Relative-to-Price Sales. The combination of these approaches allows individuals to invest across the investment universe regardless of dividend policies. New Era Value Investing introduces the proven method known as Relative Value Discipline by combining the excitement of developing a new investment discipline with the lessons learned through the application of this new methodology in the real world. In addition to providing an insider's look at an investment manager's experience in adopting a new investment approach, this book creates a context for understanding the transformation of the U.S. economy, and offers expert insights beyond those of traditional value theory. Nancy Tengler (San Francisco, CA) is President and Chief Investment Officer of Fremont Investment Advisors. She is coauthor of Relative Dividend Yield: Common Stock Investing for Income and Appreciation (Wiley: 0-471-53652-0). She has appeared on numerous financial radio and television programs, including CNN/fn and is frequently quoted in financial publications such as The Wall Street Journal.

New Magic for a New Era
Author: Tom Evans
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781849146470
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 206
Book Description
This is a book of magic. If you want to know how to bring money, love, good health and luck into your life, it explains how. It is full of practical, real world advice and is brimming with insight and erudition. If you've ever experienced anything out of the ordinary that you can't readily explain, you may well find answers here. Many personal development books recount how some enlightenment can be gained by encountering and overcoming some adversity or setbacks. By going to the edge and coming back, we can often help others in similar predicaments by sharing our experiences.This book takes a different approach by exploring the notion that life doesn't have to be intrinsically tough, unless we want it to be. Just imagine all that your heart desires just turning up. Just imagine having as much time as you need. Just imagine a life without dis-ease and one full of joy and ease. The idea that we can only reap rewards through hard work and graft is one we can now leave behind. Each and every one of us can live a charmed life. The New Magic referred to in the title is only Old Magic that we can now understand, comprehend and invoke with the advantage of 20:20 hindsight. The New Era is what turns up when we tap into the New Magic and bring more of heaven down to Earth. What the first two readers of this book said about it: "New Magic for a New Era is written in plain English, with easy-to-understand examples and narrative. What I love most about this book, is the humility and wonderful sense of humour that run throughout. The core message is one that we can all understand, and respond to and that is that personal transformation does not have to be difficult." ""As I read this book, something strange is happening. My hands are tingling and extremely hot then I am distracted by the heat and tingling in my feet. There is something truly special about this book. The last time I got this feeling was whilst reading The Ringing Cedars Series, but it was not this intense. Those books changed my life. I know this one will too in a way that I cannot possibly imagine.""
