This book was released on 2017-07 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a charming little character sketch, a trifle vague in parts, but generally suggestive and entertaining. It tells the story of an attempt at matchmaking by a benevolent lady, who thought Providence had designed her for that occupation. Having noticed a social meeting of a Scotch heiress and a rising literary genius, she at once decides that they were made for one another. She encourages the man by telling him that he has made a conquest. The result is that he assails the young lady's affections with an impudence that sets her aflame with indignation, and she sends him packing. It is only an ordinary magazine short story, yet it is so gracefully written and so artistic in its character drawing, that it is thoroughly enjoyable. --N. Y. Times.

Download or read book Victor Arnautoff and the Politics of Art written by Robert W. Cherny and published by University of Illinois Press. This book was released on 2017-03-07 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Victor Arnautoff reigned as San Francisco's leading mural painter during the New Deal era. Yet that was only part of an astonishing life journey from Tsarist officer to leftist painter. Robert W. Cherny's masterful biography of Arnautoff braids the artist's work with his increasingly leftist politics and the tenor of his times. Delving into sources on Russian émigrés and San Francisco's arts communities, Cherny traces Arnautoff's life from refugee art student and assistant to Diego Rivera to prominence in the New Deal's art projects and a faculty position at Stanford University. As Arnautoff's politics moved left, he often incorporated working people and people of color into his treatment of the American past and present. In the 1950s, however, his participation in leftist organizations and a highly critical cartoon of Richard Nixon landed him before the House Un-American Activities Committee and led to calls for his dismissal from Stanford. Arnautoff eventually departed America, a refugee of another kind, now fleeing personal loss and the disintegration of the left-labor culture that had nurtured him, before resuming his artistic career in the Soviet Union that he had fought in his youth to destroy.

Download or read book Avoiding Investment Blunders written by James Grant CPA MS and published by Page Publishing Inc. This book was released on 2022-08-01 with total page 307 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are two parts to the investment equation: (1) How to make money from investing and (2) how to avoid losing it. This book deals with the second objective. Investors can prosper from small mistakes because they teach valuable lessons, but large mistakes (blunders) wipe out large amounts of capital and ruin lives. Blunders result in lost opportunities, children not going to college, or retirement being postponed or permanently abandoned. Severe losses can produce depression, failed marriages, and even suicide. How do investors stumble into blunders? They are not prepared, and they are ill-informed. They invest in inappropriate investments, and their timing is bad. They listen to bad forecasts by economists, portfolio managers, CEOs, journalists, and security analysts. Just because an investment product exists does not mean it should be bought. Some investments like mortgage bonds and variable annuities are structurally flawed and too dangerous for average investors. Blunders occur as a result of misleading statements by the media. They also occur due to scams. Investors are way too gullible and greedy. The investment landscape is treacherous, and it is important for investors to pay attention and employ healthy amounts of skepticism. Investors must employ less emotion and more reason. Investing is not a hobby! There are many resources to guide investors on how to make money in investing, but there are few guides on how to avoid losing money. The information deficit in Avoiding Investment Blunders is significant. This book contains detailed guidance and occasional colorful examples of the author s missteps and the mistakes of others. Investment blunders are, therefore, financial disasters that must be avoided at all cost. Investment blunders usually only happen once per person per lifetime. This book will help ensure that blunders do not happen at all!

Download or read book The Social and Political Thought of Noam Chomsky written by Alison Edgley and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2004-08-02 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Social and Political Thought of Noam Chomsky questions Chomsky's claim not to have a theory about the relationship between human beings and their society other than that which 'can be written on the back of postage stamp'. Edgley compares Chomsky's vision of the good society with liberal communitarian perspectives, and establishes that it is grounded in a hopeful belief about human nature. She argues that sympathy with this vision of the good society is essential for understanding the nature of Chomsky's critique of state capitalism, its inherent nationalism and the media. The author concludes that Chomsky's analysis is coherent and systematic when one acknowledges that he is not just a critic but a theorist.
