Goldratt's Rules of Flow

Marc Wilson is not giving up. He is determined to turn around the struggling family company and keep it despite his father’s decision to sell. The problem is that they are late on more and more projects and their customers won’t tolerate it anymore. Marc is looking everywhere for a solution when in one of his MBA classes he comes across a unique approach that views operations in terms of flow. The concept of flow is straightforward. It’s easy to visualize the stream of projects going through the system and understand that if something clogs the flow the projects pile up; the lead time gets longer and as a result the reliability of due dates suffers. What is not so easy is to uncover the specific obstacles that obstruct the flow and figure out how to remove them. Goldratt’s Rules of Flow is the book that the great Eli Goldratt author of The Goal wanted to write about his later developments in the field of project management. As he passed away before accomplishing it his daughter Efrat Goldratt a brilliant author in her own right has picked up the mantle. Whether you’re a manager in engineering IT service or sales this book will help you gain much better predictability and significantly improve your delivery. | Goldratt's Rules of Flow

Richard Brautigan

Richard Brautigan

Few contemporary American writers have been subjected to as much laudatory abuse as Richard Brautigan who having become famous in the 1960s was made a cult figure for the hippy generation and was systematically refused recognition as a major novelist once the sentimental wave of the ‘greening of America’ had passed. Marc Chénetier’s study originally published in 1983 was the first book to attempt to assess Brautigan’s writing art which far from weakening over the years had become amid critical indifference more secure in its techniques more all-encompassing in its strategy and more iconoclastic in its goals. In analysing most of Brautigan’s fictional works in the light of his poetics it examines the mechanisms of his metafictional and deconstructive offensive and indicates the direction in which Brautigan was moving at the time.

Transcending the Postmodern The Singular Response of Literature to the Transmodern Paradigm

Transcending the Postmodern: The Singular Response of Literature to the Transmodern Paradigm gathers an introduction and ten chapters concerned with the issue of Transmodernity as addressed by and presented in contemporary novels hailing from various parts of the English-speaking world. Building on the theories of Transmodernity propounded by Rosa María Rodríguez Magda Enrique Dussel Marc Luyckx Ghisi and Irena Ateljevic inter alia it investigates the links between Transmodernity and such categories as Postmodernity Postcolonialism and Transculturalism with a view to help define a new current in contemporary literary production. The chapters either follow the main theoretical drives of the transmodern paradigm or problematise them. In so doing they branch out towards various issues that have come to inspire contemporary novelists among which: the presence of the past the ascendance of new technologies multiculturalism terrorism and also vulnerability interdependence solidarity and ecology in a globalised context. In so doing it interrogates the ethics aesthetics and politics of the contemporary novel in English. | Transcending the Postmodern The Singular Response of Literature to the Transmodern Paradigm

Children and Yiddish Literature From Early Modernity to Post-Modernity

Children and Yiddish Literature From Early Modernity to Post-Modernity

Children have occupied a prominent place in Yiddish literature since early modern times but children’s literature as a genre has its beginnings in the early 20th century. Its emergence reflected the desire of Jewish intellectuals to introduce modern forms of education and promote ideological agendas both in Eastern Europe and in immigrant communities elsewhere. Before the Second World War a number of publishing houses and periodicals in Europe and the Americas specialized in stories novels and poems for various age groups. Prominent authors such as Yankev Glatshteyn Der Nister Joseph Opatoshu Leyb Kvitko made original contributions to the genre while artists such as Marc Chagall El Lissitzky and Yisakhar Ber Rybak also took an active part. In the Soviet Union meanwhile children’s literature provided an opportunity to escape strong ideological pressure. Yiddish children’s literature is still being produced today both for secular and strongly Orthodox communities. This volume is a pioneering collective study not only of children’s literature but of the role played by children in literature. | Children and Yiddish Literature From Early Modernity to Post-Modernity

An Existential Approach to Interpersonal Trauma Modes of Existing and Confrontations with Reality

An Existential Approach to Interpersonal Trauma Modes of Existing and Confrontations with Reality

An Existential Approach to Interpersonal Trauma provides a new existential framework for understanding the experiences of interpersonal trauma building on reflections from Marc Boaz’s own personal history clinical insight and research. The book suggests that psychology psychotherapy and existentialism do not recognise the significance of the existential movements that occur in traumatic confrontations with reality. By considering what people find at the limits and boundaries of human experiencing Boaz describes the ways in which they can disillusion and re-illusion themselves and how this becomes incorporated into their modes of existing in the world and in relation to others. In incorporating the experience of trauma into the way people live – all the existential horror terror and liberation contained within it – Boaz invites them to embrace an expansive ethic of (re)(dis)covery. This ethic recognises the ambiguity and spectrality of interpersonal trauma and expands the horizons of our human relationships. The book provides an important basis for professionals wanting to work existentially with interpersonal trauma and for people wanting to deepen their understanding of the trauma they have experienced. | An Existential Approach to Interpersonal Trauma Modes of Existing and Confrontations with Reality

Foreign Artists and Communities in Modern Paris 1870-1914 Strangers in Paradise

Foreign Artists and Communities in Modern Paris 1870-1914 Strangers in Paradise

Foreign Artists and Communities in Modern Paris 1870-1914 examines Paris as a center of international culture that attracted artists from Western and Eastern Europe Asia and the Americas during a period of burgeoning global immigration. Sixteen essays by a group of emerging and established international scholars - including several whose work has not been previously published in English - address the experiences of foreign exiles immigrants students and expatriates. They explore the formal and informal structures that permitted foreign artists to forge connections within and across national communities and in some cases fashion new transnational identities in the City of Light. Considering Paris from an innovative global perspective the book situates both important modern artists - such as Edvard Munch Sonia Delaunay-Terk Marc Chagall and Gino Severini - and lesser-known American Czech Italian Polish Welsh Russian Japanese Catalan and Hungarian painters sculptors writers dancers and illustrators within the larger trends of international mobility and cultural exchange. Broadly appealing to historians of modern art and history the essays in this volume characterize Paris as a thriving transnational arts community in which the interactions between diverse cultures peoples and traditions contributed to the development of a hybrid and multivalent modern art. | Foreign Artists and Communities in Modern Paris 1870-1914 Strangers in Paradise

Deficits Debt and American Politics Paper Shackles

Deficits Debt and American Politics Paper Shackles

For most of the history of the United States periods of growing indebtedness—a product of wars and economic crises—were followed by reductions in the debt-to-GDP ratio. But why have the last several decades failed to follow this pattern leaving the national debt at its highest level since World War II? In this groundbreaking new book author Marc Allen Eisner who has devoted most of his scholarly career to studying the evolution of the US political economy explores the significant changes in the fiscal conditions of the United States during the postwar period embedding the discussion in a broader historical context. He demonstrates that the national debt is in part a product of reduced revenues and the growing costs of the largest entitlement programs but it also reflects a long series of shocks including two wars the financial crisis and Great Recession and the COVID-19 pandemic. Deficits Debt and American Politics chronicles the history of the US debt in the postwar period placed in the context of broader changes in the political economy and partisan politics. But it grounds this exploration in reader-friendly chapter-length discussions of public finance taxation mandatory spending and the budgetary process from a policy perspective. The volume concludes with a discussion of the challenges of comprehensive tax and program reforms in the current political climate. Deficits Debt and American Politics assumes little prior knowledge on the part of the reader making it an ideal book for courses on public policy and political economy taught at both the upper-level undergraduate and graduate level. The material on public finance long-term trends in taxation and spending and the budgetary process often relegated to descriptive texts will be invaluable in courses engaging the deficit and debt. | Deficits Debt and American Politics Paper Shackles

Undertones of Insurrection Music and Cultural Politics in the Modern German Narrative

Undertones of Insurrection Music and Cultural Politics in the Modern German Narrative

A basic tenet of literary studies is that aesthetic structures are politically significant because they represent an artist's response to the political implications of cultural codes with which the recipient of the modern work is also acquainted. This tenet provides the basis for the ideological associations attending the appearance of music in the modern German narrative. With his understanding of the arts as involved in often unacknowledged ideological forces within a culture Marc Weiner's Undertones of Insurrection bridges the gap between the New Musicology's rewarding infusion of modern cultural and literary theory into the study of music politically insightful examinations of narrative structures in the modern novel and the methodologically conservative area of musical-literary relations in Germanic Studies. In other words the questions it raises are different from those pursued in most examinations of music and literature because previous works of this kind concerning the literature of German-speaking Europe have often disregarded social concerns in general and political issues in particular. Ranging from 1900 to Doctor Faustus (1947) Weiner study sets the stage by examining public debates that conflated such issues as national identity racism populism the role of the sexes and xenophobia with musical texts. In the literary analyses that follow Weiner discusses both obvious connections between music and sociopolitical issues-Hesse's equation of jazz and insurrection in Steppenwolf-and covert ones the suppression of music in Death in Venice and the use of politically charged musical subtexts in Werfel's Verdi and Schnitzler's Rhapsody. By uncovering the ideological agendas informing cultural practice in modernist Germany Undertones of Insurrection calls for a reevaluation of the function of music in the modern German narrative. | Undertones of Insurrection Music and Cultural Politics in the Modern German Narrative

Climate Change and Critical Agrarian Studies

Climate Change and Critical Agrarian Studies

Climate change is perhaps the greatest threat to humanity today and plays out as a cruel engine of myriad forms of injustice violence and destruction. The effects of climate change from human-made emissions of greenhouse gases are devastating and accelerating; yet are uncertain and uneven both in terms of geography and socio-economic impacts. Emerging from the dynamics of capitalism since the industrial revolution — as well as industrialisation under state-led socialism — the consequences of climate change are especially profound for the countryside and its inhabitants. The book interrogates the narratives and strategies that frame climate change and examines the institutionalised responses in agrarian settings highlighting what exclusions and inclusions result. It explores how different people — in relation to class and other co-constituted axes of social difference such as gender race ethnicity age and occupation — are affected by climate change as well as the climate adaptation and mitigation responses being implemented in rural areas. The book in turn explores how climate change – and the responses to it - affect processes of social differentiation trajectories of accumulation and in turn agrarian politics. Finally the book examines what strategies are required to confront climate change and the underlying political-economic dynamics that cause it reflecting on what this means for agrarian struggles across the world. The 26 chapters in this volume explore how the relationship between capitalism and climate change plays out in the rural world and in particular the way agrarian struggles connect with the huge challenge of climate change. Through a huge variety of case studies alongside more conceptual chapters the book makes the often-missing connection between climate change and critical agrarian studies. The book argues that making the connection between climate and agrarian justice is crucial. The chapters in this book were originally published in The Journal of Peasant Studies.
