An illuminating history of the reform agenda in higher education. For well over one hundred years, people have been attempting to make American colleges and universities more efficient and more accountable. Indeed, Ethan Ris argues in Other People’s Colleges, the reform impulse is baked into American higher education, the result of generations of elite reformers who have called for sweeping changes in the sector and raised existential questions about its sustainability. When that reform is beneficial, offering major rewards for minor changes, colleges and universities know how to assimilate it. When it is hostile, attacking autonomy or values, they know how to resist it. The result is a sector that has learned to accept top-down reform as part of its existence.  In the early twentieth century, the “academic engineers,” a cadre of elite, external reformers from foundations, businesses, and government, worked to reshape and reorganize the vast base of the higher education pyramid. Their reform efforts were largely directed at the lower tiers of higher education, but those efforts fell short, despite the wealth and power of their backers, leaving a legacy of successful resistance that affects every college and university in the United States. Today, another coalition of business leaders, philanthropists, and politicians is again demanding efficiency, accountability, and utility from American higher education. But, as Ris argues, top-down design is not destiny. Drawing on extensive and original archival research, Other People’s Colleges offers an account of higher education that sheds light on today’s reform agenda. Â

Shortlisted for the Orwell Prize 2016We all depend on the finance sector. We need it to store our money, manage our payments, finance housing stock, restore infrastructure, fund retirement and support new business. But these roles comprise only a tiny sliver of the sector''s activity: the vast majority of lending is within the finance sector. So what is it all for? What is the purpose of this activity? And why is it so profitable?John Kay, a distinguished economist with wide experience of the financial sector, argues that the industry''s perceived profitability is partly illusory, and partly an appropriation of wealth created elsewhere - of other people''s money. The financial sector, he shows, has grown too large, detached itself from ordinary business and everyday life, and has become an industry that mostly trades with itself, talks to itself, and judges itself by reference to standards which it has itself generated. And the outside world has itself adopted those standards, bailing out financial institutions that have failed all of us through greed and mismanagement. We need finance, but today we have far too much of a good thing. In Other People''s Money John Kay shows in his inimitable style what has gone wrong in the dark heart of finance.

Like the "funny, brilliant, bawdy" (The New Yorker) "Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman!" this book's many stories-some funny, others intensely moving-display Richard P. Feynman's unquenchable thirst for adventure and unparalleled ability to recount important moments from his life.Here we meet Feynman's first wife, Arlene, who taught him of love's irreducible mystery as she lay dying in a hospital bed while he worked on the atomic bomb at nearby Los Alamos. We listen to the fascinating narrative of the investigation into the space shuttle Challenger's explosion in 1986 and relive the moment when Feynman revealed the disaster's cause through an elegant experiment: dropping a ring of rubber into a glass of cold water and pulling it out, misshapen. In "What Do You Care What Other People Think?" one of the greatest physicists of the twentieth century lets us see the man behind the genius.

A book on DEI in the workplace that speaks not only to executives but to employees at all levels of a company, by award-winning diversity consultant Risha Grant.DEI consultant and corporate speaker, Risha Grant, shares her practice of learning how to welcome and embrace people’s full humanity, without BS, full stop. What’s BS? It’s bullshit for sure, but more specifically it’s the powerful and often invisible belief systems we’ve been steeped in since birth—the judgment and bias we carry with us that impact our own lives and the many others we encounter every day. Risha teaches us about the inner work and the outer work we need to do to dismantle our “biasphere,” and change how we see ourselves and how we interact with others. The more people are willing to acknowledge and address the biases inherent in their belief systems, the more those biases will dissipate and the better our work environments will become.Readers will learn how to:– Recognize when your BS manifests as “isms” and phobias that follow you to work– Cure scarcity mentality, a damaging byproduct of fear– Validate other people’s experiences– Become a real ally– Engage in micro efforts that can effect change on a macro level– Create an environment that fosters a sense of belonging for everybody; that is, “get in where you fit in”– Abolish groupthink and create space for diverse ideas– Design explicit feedback channels– Generate truly inclusive policies that people can trust– Spot and stop bullying (it doesn’t always look the way you think it does)– Understand that equality isn’t equity; the difference leads to everyone getting what they need

These three plays, diverse in subject but thematically coherent, illuminate one of Sartre''s major philosophical concerns: the struggle to live and act freely in a complex and constricting world. Lucifer and the Lord, Sartre''s favourite among his plays, explores this theme in depth, dealing in the process with fundamental questions of faith and disillusionment; in Huis Clos - arguably Sartre''s most important play - he contends that ''Hell is other people'', and details the afterlife of three souls trapped together in locked room and the torments that they inflict on each other; while The Respectable Prostitute, set in the Deep South of America, is concerned with racism, subjugation and the demands of conscience.

"Machen''s weird tales of the creepy and fantastic finally come to Penguin Classics. With an introduction from S.T. Joshi, editor of AMERICAN SUPERNATURAL TALES, THE WHITE PEOPLE AND OTHER WEIRD STORIES is the perfect introduction to the father of weird fiction. The title story "The White People" is an exercise in the bizarre leaving the reader disoriented and on edge. From the first page, Machen turns even fundamental truths upside-down, as his character Ambrose explains, "there have been those who have sounded the very depths of sin, who all their lives have never done an ''ill deed''" setting the stage for a tale entirely without logic"--

Z masového vraždění se dnes stal výhodný byznys. K tomuto neúprosnému závěru došel Ethan Gutmann ve svém podrobném vyšetřování utajovaného programu čínské vlády, který má eliminovat politické disidenty a který profituje z prodeje jejich orgánů - v mnoha případech zájemcům ze Západu. Na základě rozhovorů s vysoce postavenými policejními důstojníky, čínskými lékaři, kteří zabíjeli vězně přímo na operačním stole, a vězni svědomí, kteří přežili pobyt v pracovních táborech, sestavil Gutmann jako zkušený analytik strhující příběh, jehož výsledkem je šokující počet obětí. Proč by čínské vedení podporovalo uvnitř vlastního lékařského systému takovéto nebezpečné a zvrhlé praktiky? Aby tuto záhadu vyřešil, vydává se Gutmann hluboko do nitra disidentského světa Falun Gongu, Tibeťanů, Ujgurů a domácích křesťanů, aby odtud vynesl na světlo odvěké drama o odvážném vzdoru, hluboké zradě a momentech extatického vykoupení. V dnešní době plné lhostejnosti se autor spoléhá na jednu prostou pravdu: ti, kterým se podařilo vrátit z pekla, nám mají co říci. ETHAN GUTMANN je oceňovaný analytik, investigativní žurnalista a autor knihy Ztráta nové Číny: Příběh amerického obchodování, touhy a zrady. Gutmannovy články o Číně se objevily ve vydáních Wall Street Journal (Asia), Investor's Business Daily, Weekly Standard, National Review a World Affairs. Jako svědek a expert na tematiku násilného odebírání orgánů vypovídal před Kongresem Spojených států a Evropským parlamentem, Ústřední zpravodajskou službou (CIA), Mezinárodní společností pro lidská práva, Organizací spojených národů a před parlamenty v Ottawě, Jeruzalémě, Canbeře, Dublinu a Londýně. Jako někdejší výzkumný analytik zahraniční politiky na Brookings Institution se objevil ve vysílání PBS, CNN, BBC a CNBC. Gutmann byl v roce 2015 oficiálním hostem pražského festivalu Mene Tekel.

Všetci to poznáme. Keď vedieme vnútorný dialóg, podvedome dúfame, že sa napojíme na svojho vnútorného kouča, ktorý nás podporí a pomôže nám. Často je však realita úplne iná. Niekedy nám do toho začne rozprávať náš vnútorný kritik, ktorý sa správa ako náš najväčší nepriateľ, znižuje nám sebavedomie a vraví nám, že to, po čom najviac túžime, aj tak nezískame, lebo nie sme dosť dobrí.Ethan Kross, oceňovaný psychológ, vo svojej prelomovej knihe Vnútorný hlas skúma tiché rozhovory odohrávajúce sa v našich mysliach. Vysvetľuje, ako tieto rozhovory formujú náš život, prácu a vzťahy, a radí, ako si hravo poradiť so stavmi úzkosti, zlepšiť si svoje fyzické a duševné zdravie a prehĺbiť vzťahy s druhými. Zároveň upozorňuje, že ak podľahneme negatívnemu a dezorientujúcemu vnútornému hlasu, môže to poškodiť naše zdravie, zhoršiť nám náladu, narušiť vzťahy a spôsobiť, že pod tlakom zlyháme.

Všichni jsme zažili, když nám útržek rozhovoru zněl v hlavě pořád dokola: Neměla jsem na tátu vyletět, vždyť mě vždycky ve všem podporuje... Vnitřní hlas opakuje naléhavou výčitku znovu a znovu a znovu. Přeháníme, děláme si starosti, katastrofizujeme. "Dotěrné drmolení" označuje právě tyto negativní myšlenkové smyčky: vytrvalé, ale bezcenné přemítání o minulosti, úporné obavy z budoucnosti. Negativní myšlenky nám brání v řešení problému i v dalších nutných činnostech. Mohou mít sociální důsledky, když ve styku s ostatními lidmi neustále zdůrazňujeme jen svoje problémy. V Dotěrném drmolení nás psycholog a neurovědec Ethan Kross naučí, jak hlas v naší hlavě ovládnout. Cílem ale není umlčet ho, přestat mluvit sám se sebou - to by se nám mohlo vymstít. Jak se ukáže, klíčovou strategií je "distancovaná samomluva", jež spočívá v dosažení mentálního odstupu od sebe sama, v získání nadhledu. Mluvíme pak sami se sebou, jako bychom byli jinou osobou: Nemůžeš vědět, co tím vlastně myslel. Možná tvoji reakci chápe. Vnitřní hlas se může stát jednou z našich nejsilnějších stránek, může nás přenášet do jiných světů, představit nám o něco jinou minulost, ale hlavně vzrušující budoucnost - nedovolme mu, aby nás věznil v pekle sebeobviňování.
