Capital Evolution - Elizabeth MacBride, Seth Levine

America''s economic infrastructure is in the midst of a profound transformation. After decades of prioritizing shareholder value above all else, companies are now embracing a broader set of values - reshaping not only business strategies but also capitalism itself. Capitalism has always been a dynamic system, and we find ourselves today at yet another critical turning point in its evolution. Capital Evolution is a compelling look at how companies are adapting to address modern challenges, from climate change to the erosion of the middle class. Drawing on interviews from dozens of CEOs, academics, and thought leaders, venture capitalist and author Seth Levine and journalist Elizabeth MacBride shepherd readers through the complex history of global capitalism and outline the key changes facing leaders in a transformed system, including: An emerging business imperative: Why companies are now prioritizing long-term impact over short-term profits; Shifting goals: How to navigate new expectations and pressure from both the political left and the political right around the role of businesses in society; Growing political divides: How businesses are balancing stakeholder demands with rising political tension, all while staying true to their core values.

Sherrie Levine: Hong Kong Dominoes - Larry List, Sherrie Levine

Exploring the development of groundbreaking artist Sherrie Levine’s work, this catalogue looks at four series central to her practice.The latest in the Spotlight Series, which focuses on new bodies of work by contemporary artists, Sherrie Levine: Hong Kong Dominoes showcases several series that distinctly engage the artist’s ongoing inquiry into notions of authorship, originality, and authenticity. Many of the works are consistent with Levine’s practice—the deliberate reproduction of other artists’ works and styles, so that her work and the original are nearly indistinguishable (as with the After Henri Matisse (1985) and After Feininger (2021) series). A number of the works make reference to modernist masterpieces, questioning the stereotypical construct of the heroic male artist. In her Monochromes After Renoir Nudes (2016) series, Levine used a computer program to calculate the average tone of the nude figures in Renoir’s paintings and then used this color to create monochrome panels. Published for the first time, Hong Kong Dominoes: 1–12 (2017) replicates the patterns of a set of dominoes that Levine purchased in Hong Kong, evoking both minimalist art and popular games. The catalogue also features a new essay by Larry List, which tracks the history of Levine’s inspirations and artistic practice, and ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Unfaithful - Professor Emerita Suzanne Jill Levine

In this witty and incisive memoir, Suzanne Jill Levine – winner of the 2024 PEN/Ralph Manheim Award for Translation – establishes a new way of writing about a translator’s life. Levine is a living legend in the translation world who credits her good fortune as a young translator to being in the right place at the right time: beginning in the era of the Cuban revolution, with growing interest in Latin America and its writers, and unfolding in New York City in the turbulent 1960s and 1970s and beyond. In Unfaithful: A Translator''s Memoir, Levine interweaves her personal history and translation history in an important period. Levine analyzes how her openness to another culture and new experiences, along with a knack for translating the most difficult Latin American novels and positive interactions with her authors, took her from a modest New York background into a whole new literary and linguistic world. She also writes about how her friendship and then long relationship with Uruguayan writer and intellectual Emir Rodríguez Monegal helped her develop her career, and how translating creatively subversive Guillermo Cabrera Infante and Manuel Puig – taking on the task of making spoken Cuban and Argentine into a new ...

Seth - Julien Malland

Seth: On Walls collects the colorful, visual universe of a globe-trotting street artist who paints with purpose.  For street artist Seth, walls around the world have been canvases for resilience, a space where imagination and real-life encounters become murals of expression, dialogue, and community. Children are often a part of his work, taking him—and us—through city streets on a poetic discovery of their universe, like the rabbit hole into which Lewis Carroll’s Alice plunges.  Seth: On Walls is an insightful, visual exploration of a decade of his travels and the paintings he created in locations such as the working-class districts of Phnom Penh, Cambodia, and the war-torn Donbas region of Ukraine. Drawing inspiration from local myths, legends, and tales, and often collaborating with other artists, Seth works within the social, political, and cultural contexts of the places he visits. Through an emphasized mixture of murals and photography, Seth captures the story of a multidimensional globe that is simultaneously fascinating and under threat.  Although his work consists mostly of paintings, the photography he shares not only immortalizes the ephemerality and memory of his work but also conveys the spirit of the place and the relationship between the artwork ...

Democrat Party Hates America - Levin Mark R.

INSTANT #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER The eight-time #1 New York Times bestselling author, radio host, and Fox News star returns to the page to reveal the radically dangerous Democrat agenda that is upending American life. In American Marxism, Mark Levin explained how Marxist ideology has invaded our society and culture. In doing so, he exposed the institutions, scholars, and activists leading the revolution. Now, he picks up where he left off: to hold responsible the true malefactors steering our country down the wrong path. Insightful and hard-hitting as ever, Levin proves that since its establishment, the Democrat Party has set out to rewrite history and destroy the foundation of freedom in America. More than a political party, it is the entity through which Marxism has installed its philosophy and its new revolution. As in a Thomas Paine pamphlet or a clarion call from Paul Revere, Levin alerts his fellow Americans to the destruction this country is facing, and rallies them to defeat the threat in front of us—more looming than ever. He writes, “Every legal, legitimate, and appropriate tool and method must be employed in the short- and long- run to defeat the Democrat Party. The Democrat Party must ...

The Great Debate - Yuval Levin

For more than two centuries, our political life has been divided between a party of progress and a party of conservation. In The Great Debate , Yuval Levin explores the origins of the left/right divide by examining the views of the men who best represented each side of that debate at its outset: Edmund Burke and Thomas Paine. In a ground-breaking exploration of the roots of our political order, Levin shows that American partisanship originated in the debates over the French Revolution, fueled by the fiery rhetoric of these ideological titans. Levin masterfully shows how Burke''s and Paine''s differing views, a reforming conservatism and a restoring progressivism, continue to shape our current political discourse,on issues ranging from abortion to welfare, education, economics, and beyond. Essential reading for anyone seeking to understand Washington''s often acrimonious rifts, The Great Debate offers a profound examination of what conservatism, liberalism, and the debate between them truly amount to.

Trauma očima dítěte - Peter A. Levine, Maggie Klineová

Základní pravda, kterou autoři v knize přinášejí, je, že dospělí mají nejprve věnovat pozornost vlastnímu emočnímu stavu, protože děti mohou uvolnit své napětí pouze v přítomnosti klidného, schopného a konejšivého dospělého. To, kdo jsme, je důležitější než to, co děláme. Přesněji řečeno, to, kdo jsme tváří v tvář znepokojivé situaci, ovlivní podobu i následky toho, co děláme. Levine a Klineová nám dávají příležitost naučit se léčit trauma tím, že budeme následovat toho nejlepšího učitele: naše vlastní tělo a pocity. Techniky "prevence" traumatu, které Levine a Klineová v této knize přinášejí, jsou dokonalé svou moudrostí a jednoduchostí, pozorností k detailu, tím, jak postupujeme krok za krokem, a jasnými principy toho, jak jich použít. Autoři dbají na to, aby byly tyto principy využívány praktickým způsobem tak, aby mohly být naplněny specifické potřeby dětí v různých stádiích vývoje, od raného dětství po dospívání.

Prevence traumatu u dětí - Peter A. Levine, Maggie Klineová

Je zarážející, kolik dětí je úzkostlivých, depresivních, hyperaktivních a odtažitých - a je jich stále víc! Milióny dětí byly šikanovány, zažily násilí nebo zneužití. Mnoho dalších dětí bylo traumatizováno v důsledku "obyčejnějších" událostí, jako jsou děsivé lékařské zákroky, nehody, ztráta či rozvod. Kniha Prevence traumatu u dětí pomáhá rodičům, kteří chtějí pomoct svým ustaraným a utrápeným dětem. Nabízí jednoduché, avšak velmi mocné nástroje, které děti chrání před nebezpečím a pomáhají jim, jak se znovu navrátit k rovnováze poté, co zažily strach a pocit přehlcení. Děti nemusejí být pasivní kořistí predátorů či nevinnými obětmi životních událostí. Peter A. Levine, Ph.D., se intenzivně věnuje tématům stresu a psychologie. Vyvinul metodu somatické prožívání (R), přírodní přístup k léčení traumatu, a vyučuje ji po celém světě. Dr. Levine pomáhal organizaci NASA jako konzultant v oblasti stresu a v současné době dělá tuto práci pro organizaci The Meadows, hlavní rezidenční centrum pro léčení závislosti. Je autorem několika bestselerů, které se zabývají tématy stresu a traumatu.

Léčba traumatu - Peter A. Levine

Máte zdánlivě bezdůvodné příznaky? Příčinou může být trauma z minulosti. Vědecké studie ukazují, že lidé, kteří přežili nehody, přírodní katastrofy nebo traumata v dětství, často trpí dlouhodobými příznaky od úzkostí a depresí přes nevysvětlitelné bolesti a únavu, až po různé druhy onemocnění a psychického "odehrávání". Terapeuti a klienti jak na poli bodyworku, tak v oblasti psychoterapie se dnes stále častěji obracejí k somatickému prožívání, revoluční metodě Petera A. Levina, která jim umožňuje tyto výzvy překonat. Kniha Léčba traumatu je "návodem k použití" teorie, kterou Dr. Levine poprvé představil ve svém celosvětově proslulém díle Probouzení tygra (Maitrea, 2011). Dozvíte se, jak můžete díky rozvoji vědomí vlastního těla "znovuvyjednat" svá traumata tím, že je nahlédnete, nikoli tím, že je znovu prožijete. Osvojíte si základy "první pomoci" pro případy nouze a na příkladech ze světa zvířat odhalíte fyziologické kořeny svých emocí. "Trauma je nevyhnutelným životním faktem," konstatuje Dr. Levine, "nemusí být ale doživotním trestem." Tento praktický manuál vás naučí základům sebeléčebné metody, která sleduje příznaky traumatu až k jejich skrytému zdroji v těle a vrací tak lidem jejich ztracenou přirozenost.

Trauma and Memory - Peter A. Levine

In Trauma and Memory, bestselling author Dr. Peter Levine (creator of the Somatic Experiencing approach) tackles one of the most difficult and controversial questions of PTSD/trauma therapy: Can we trust our memories? While some argue that traumatic memories are unreliable and not useful, others insist that we absolutely must rely on memory to make sense of past experience. Building on his 45 years of successful treatment of trauma and utilizing case studies from his own practice, Dr. Levine suggests that there are elements of truth in both camps. While acknowledging that memory can be trusted, he argues that the only truly useful memories are those that might initially seem to be the least reliable: memories stored in the body and not necessarily accessible by our conscious mind.While much work has been done in the field of trauma studies to address "explicit" traumatic memories in the brain (such as intrusive thoughts or flashbacks), much less attention has been paid to how the body itself stores "implicit" memory, and how much of what we think of as "memory" actually comes to us through our (often unconsciously accessed) felt sense. By learning how to better understand this complex interplay of past and present, ... Unknown localization key: "more"

A Problem of Fit - Phillip B. Levine

A critical examination of the complex system of college pricing-how it works, how it fails, and how fixing it can help both students and universities. How much does it cost to attend college in the United States today? The answer is more complex than many realize. College websites advertise a sticker price, but uncovering the actual price-the one after incorporating financial aid-can be difficult for students and families. This inherent uncertainty leads some students to forgo applying to colleges that would be the best fit for them, or even not attend college at all. The result is that millions of promising young people may lose out on one of society's greatest opportunities for social mobility. Colleges suffer too because losing these prospective students can mean lower enrollment and less socioeconomic diversity. If markets require prices to function well, then the American higher-education system-rife as it is with ambiguity in its pricing-amounts to a market failure. In A Problem of Fit, economist Phillip B. Levine explains why institutions charge the prices they do and discusses the role of financial aid systems in facilitating-and discouraging-access to college. Affordability issues are real, but price transparency is also part of the problem. As Levine ... Unknown localization key: "more"

The Channeled Image - Erica Levin

A fascinating look at artistic experiments with televisual forms. Following the integration of television into the fabric of American life in the 1950s, experimental artists of the 1960s began to appropriate this novel medium toward new aesthetic and political ends. As Erica Levin details in The Channeled Image, groundbreaking artists like Carolee Schneemann, Bruce Conner, Stan VanDerBeek, and Aldo Tambellini developed a new formal language that foregrounded television’s mediation of a social order defined by the interests of the state, capital, and cultural elites. The resulting works introduced immersive projection environments, live screening events, videographic distortion, and televised happenings, among other forms. For Levin, “the channeled image” names a constellation of practices that mimic, simulate, or disrupt the appearance of televised images. This formal experimentation influenced new modes of installation, which took shape as multi-channel displays and mobile or split-screen projections, or in some cases, experimental work produced for broadcast. Above all, this book asks how artistic experimentation with televisual forms was shaped by events that challenged television broadcasters’ claims to authority, events that set the stage for struggles over how access to the airwaves would be negotiated in the future.
