Book Synopsis Time and the Other by : Johannes Fabian
Download or read book Time and the Other written by Johannes Fabian and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2014-04-15 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Time and the Other is a classic work that critically reexamined the relationship between anthropologists and their subjects and reoriented the approach literary critics, philosophers, and historians took to the study of humankind. Johannes Fabian challenges the assumption that anthropologists live in the "here and now," that their subjects live in the "there and then," and that the "other" exists in a time not contemporary with our own. He also pinpoints the emergence, transformation, and differentiation of a variety of uses of time in the history of anthropology that set specific parameters between power and inequality. In this edition, a new postscript by the author revisits popular conceptions of the "other" and the attempt to produce and represent knowledge of other(s).

Book excerpt: A step in an odd direction -- a moment of dizziness - and archaeologist Dan Fielding was thrust through an invisible barrier found hundred years into the past. He was still in the Mexican desert -- but it was the desert of the 16th century, and Mexico was in the grip of the conquistador Hernando Cortez. Inevitably, Cortez captured Fielding -- and learned of the rich territory north of the Rio Grande. The land that would one day become the U.S. would be his next conquest. Unless Fielding could rally the Indians and erase Cortez's bloody footsteps from the New World forever!

Sunday Morgan was the first Negro in Greta's otherwise white high school in Milwaukee. Both serious students from troubled families, they had everything in common but their color. Everything fell apart when Sunday returned from Mississippi after Freedom Summer. Thirty-two years later, Sunday and Greta meet again after a life-threatening incident forces Sunday to confront the meaning of courage.

Long married and the father of three children, he finds his marriage threatened by his compulsive philandering. Greta, a psychotherapist and single mother of a teen-aged son, has never formed a lasting connection with a man. Their second meeting marks the time in each of their lives that they begin to live their lives forward, rather than remain haunted by past fears.

Meanwhile, Citrosine and her sister grow apart at a terrifying rate, as Tie questions life and love after the recent disappearance of their mother, and Citrosine's dark magic takes hold of her.

Book Synopsis Do It Tomorrow and Other Secrets of Time Management by : Mark Forster
Download or read book Do It Tomorrow and Other Secrets of Time Management written by Mark Forster and published by Hodder & Stoughton. This book was released on 2014-11-27 with total page 135 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mark Forster's book "Get Everything Done and Still Have Time to Play" took an entirely new approach to time management. One of his most important points was that once we have taken on a commitment, prioritising does not work because we need to do everything relating to that commitment. In the six years since he wrote the book as he has reached thousands of people through writing, seminars and coaching, he has continued to develop and refine his methods . He has now perfected even more effective methods of getting everything done through the introduction of some radical new ideas, including closed lists, the manyana principle and the "will do" list. He is brilliant at helping people to use new forms of communication effectively so that they do not become a tyrant. The result is a complete system which will enable almost anyone to complete one day's work in one day.

Download or read book Like No Other Time written by Tom Daschle and published by Crown. This book was released on 2003-11-04 with total page 440 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tom Daschle, the Majority Leader of the historic 107th Senate, presents a candid insider’s account of the workings of the U.S. government during two of the most tumultuous years in the nation’s history. The 107th Congress faced a time like no other in the life of the nation. This was the era of the first presidential election to be decided by the United States Supreme Court, the fifty-fifty Senate, the horror of September 11, the anthrax attacks on media and the government (including Daschle’s own office), the war on terrorism, corporate scandals that shook the economy, the inexorable move toward war with Iraq, and other dramatic events, all leading up to the historic midterm elections of 2002. Through it all, Senator Tom Daschle had, with the exception of the President, the most privileged view of these unfolding developments, both in front of and behind the closed doors of government. In Like No Other Time, Daschle offers a riveting account of his singular perspective on a time when the nation faced deadly and elusive external enemies and a level of domestic political contention rarely seen in American history. Senator Daschle is un-flinching in his impressions of the key political figures of our time from both parties. The result is an acutely perceptive assessment of how our government met—and sometimes did not meet—the challenges of a remarkable era. As it was during the years of the 107th Congress, the United States is once again at a critical and historic crossroads. Our choices, based on what we have learned from our recent past, will affect our future in profound ways. For Senator Daschle, the first and perhaps most important choice lies with what kind of representation and leadership we want in government. It is a choice between a political party with a core philosophical belief in the power of our collective will to confront these challenges through our government, and one dominated by a group of people who don’t like and don’t believe in government.

Book Synopsis Mr. Kafka: And Other Tales from the Time of the Cult by : Bohumil Hrabal
Download or read book Mr. Kafka: And Other Tales from the Time of the Cult written by Bohumil Hrabal and published by New Directions Publishing. This book was released on 2015-10-27 with total page 105 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wonderful stories of Communist Prague by “the masterly Bohumil Hrabal” (The New Yorker) Never before published in English, the stories in Mr. Kafka and Other Tales from the Time of the Cult were written mostly in the 1950s and present the Czech master Bohumil Hrabal at the height of his powers. The stories capture a time when Czech Stalinists were turning society upside down, inflicting their social and political experiments on mostly unwilling subjects. These stories are set variously in the gas-lit streets of post-war Prague; on the raucous and dangerous factory floor of the famous Poldi steelworks where Hrabal himself once worked; in a cacophonous open-air dance hall where classical and popular music come to blows; at the basement studio where a crazed artist attempts to fashion a national icon; on the scaffolding around a decommissioned church. Hrabal captures men and women trapped in an eerily beautiful nightmare, longing for a world where “humor and metaphysical escape can reign supreme.”
