Book Synopsis Does Literary Studies Have a Future? by : Eugene Goodheart
Download or read book Does Literary Studies Have a Future? written by Eugene Goodheart and published by Univ of Wisconsin Press. This book was released on 1999 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As we approach the end of a millennium, the battle for the fate of literary scholarship has taken on near apocalyptic overtones, with more than a few predictions of the imminent end of literary studies as we know it. Taking aim at culture warriors on the left and the right, Goodheart provides a succinct and timely assessment of the current state and future of literary studies in the US. In Goodheart's view, the opposition between tradition (the cause of the right) and innovation (the cause of the left) is essentially false : tradition is an interactive history between the given and the innovative, not an inert set of values or a stable canon of approved texts.

Download or read book Cheney written by Stephen F. Hayes and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2009-10-13 with total page 596 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During a forty-year career in politics, Vice President Dick Cheney has been involved in some of the most consequential decisions in recent American history. He was one of a few select advisers in the room when President Gerald Ford decided to declare an end to the Vietnam War. Nearly thirty years later, from the presidential bunker below the White House in the moments immediately following the attacks of September 11, 2001, he helped shape the response: America's global war on terror. Yet for all of his influence, the world knows very little about Dick Cheney. The most powerful vice president in U.S. history has also been the most secretive and guarded of all public officials. "Am I the evil genius in the corner that nobody ever sees come out of his hole?" Cheney asked rhetorically in 2004. "It's a nice way to operate, actually." Now, in Cheney: The Untold Story of America's Most Powerful and Controversial Vice President, New York Times bestselling author and Weekly Standard senior writer Stephen F. Hayes offers readers a groundbreaking view into the world of this most enigmatic man. Having had exclusive access to Cheney himself, Hayes draws upon hundreds of interviews with the vice president, his boyhood friends, political mentors, family members, reticent staffers, and senior Bush administration officials, to deliver a comprehensive portrait of one of the most important political figures in modern times. The wide range of topics Hayes covers includes Cheney's withdrawal from Yale; his early run-ins with the law; the incident that almost got him blackballed from working in the Ford White House; his meteoric rise to congressional leadership; his opposition to removing Saddam Hussein from power after the first Gulf War; the solo, cross-country drive he took after leaving the Pentagon; his selection as Bush's running mate; his commanding performance on 9/11; the aggressive intelligence and interrogation measures he pushed in the aftermath of those attacks; the necessity of the Iraq War; the consequences of mistakes made during and after that war; and intelligence battles with the CIA and their lasting effects. With exhaustive reporting, Hayes shines a light into the shadows of the Bush administration and finds a very different Dick Cheney from the one America thinks it knows.

Download or read book Jack Levine written by Jack Levine and published by Rizzoli International Publications. This book was released on 1989 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "'I still believe that I have some mission in my life to say what I think about the world,' says American master Jack Levine. 'And let the avant-garde go hang.' A street-smart sage from the Boston slums with a formidable command of art history, this fascinating painter has always cut against the grain. In an age dominated by abstraction, Jack Levine has been one of the most powerful exponents of Social Realism and has remained committed to the great tradition of figurative art. Now, in a comprehensive monograph that contains splendid reproductions of almost all of Levine's paintings to date as well as drawings and studies, the artist himself examines his art and discusses his influences, from such old masters as Titian, Rembrandt, and Rubens to early modernists Rouault, Soutine, and Grosz. The result is a rare and revealing look at the creative process of a versatile and iconoclastic artist--and informative, yet informal, anecdotal tour through the work of six decades conducted by a witty and erudite guide, complied and edited by Stephen Robert Frankel. Since he first came to prominence in the 1930s with his brilliant and scathing painting The Feast of Pure Reason, Levine has consolidated his position as a powerful social commentator whose celebrated satirical narratives invite comparison with Goya and Daumier. But the acerbic painter of Gangster Funeral is also renowned for his dazzling portraits of the kings and sages of Israel, his sensuous nudes, and his vigorous reprises of classical themes. An illuminating critical appreciation by Milton W. Brown introduces the book, whose nearly 200 illustrations, including 60 plates in full color, admirably convey the full range of Jack Levine's artistry." -- Provided by publisher

Book Synopsis The Connection by : Stephen F. Hayes
Download or read book The Connection written by Stephen F. Hayes and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2009-03-17 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the wake of 9/11 no one knew when the next attack would come, or where it would come from. America's enemies seemed gathered on all sides, and for several nerve-racking months, we lived in fear that the perpetrators might be plotting another action or, worse, that our most dangerous enemies -- al Qaeda and Saddam Hussein's murderous regime in Iraq -- could be banding together against us. The Bush administration and CIA director George Tenet warned against complacency and pointed to growing indications that al Qaeda and Iraq were in league. But their case was undercut by unnamed intelligence officials, skeptical politicians, and a compliant media. So America relaxed. A comforting consensus settled in: Osama bin Laden was an impassioned fundamentalist, Saddam a secular autocrat. The two would never, could never, work together. ABC News reported that there was no connection between them, and the New York Times said so too, and pretty soon just about everyone agreed. Just about everyone was wrong. In The Connection, Stephen Hayes draws on CIA debriefings, top-secret memos from our national intelligence agencies, and interviews with Iraqi military leaders and Washington insiders to demonstrate that Saddam and bin Laden not only could work together, they did -- a curious relationship that stretches back more than a decade and may include collaboration on terrorist acts, chemical-weapons training, and sheltering some of the world's most wanted radicals. Stephen Hayes's bombshell Weekly Standard piece on this topic was cited by Vice President Cheney as the "best source of information" about the Saddam-al Qaeda connections. Now Hayes delves even deeper, exposing the inner workings of America's deadliest opponents and providing a clear-eyed corrective to reams of underreported, politicized, and just plain wrong information. The Connection is both a gripping snapshot of the War on Terror and a case study in how bureaucratic assumptions and media arrogance can put us all at risk.
