Описание: Tom Waits, even with his barnyard growl and urban hipster yawp, may just be what the Daily Telegraph calls him: ‘the greatest entertainer on Planet Earth.’ Over a span of almost four decades, he has transformed his music and persona not to suit the times but his whims. Along with Bob Dylan, he stands as one of American music’s last elder statesmen, still capable of putting out records that matters. Journalists intent upon cracking the code are more likely to come out of a Waits interview with anecdotes about the weather, insects, or medieval medicine. He is, in essence, the teacher we wished we had, dispensing insights such as: ‘Vocabulary is my main instrument’; ‘We all like music, but what we really want is for music to like us’; ‘Anything you absorb you will ultimately secrete’; and ‘There is no such thing as non-fiction … People who really know what happened aren’t talking. And the people who don’t have a clue, you can’t shut them up.’ Tom Waits on Tom Waits is a selection of over 50 interviews, the majority of which have never been collected in book form before, in which Waits shares something truly unique with his readers. Taken together they present a de facto autobiography of a notoriously guarded artist.

Transforming our organizations to compete and thrive in today's digital age requires a combination of "old world thinking" of quality and differentiation and "new world thinking" of meeting your market where it wants to be.

In this leader's guide to digital transformation, you'll get practical, actionable information on building an employee and customer-obsessed culture that drives speed and efficiency while leveraging technology to sell better products and services.

"A substance-rich, original on every page exploration of how the space program interacted with the environmental movement, and also with the peace and 'Whole Earth' movements of the 1960s." --Tyler Cowen, Marginal Revolution
The summer of 1969 saw astronauts land on the moon for the first time and hippie hordes descend on Woodstock. This lively and original account of the space race makes the case that the conjunction of these two era-defining events was not entirely coincidental.
With its lavishly funded mandate to put a man on the moon, the Apollo mission promised to reinvigorate a country that had lost its way. But a new breed of activists denounced it as a colossal waste of resources needed to solve pressing problems at home. Neil Maher reveals that there were actually unexpected synergies between the space program and the budding environmental, feminist and civil rights movements as photos from space galvanized environmentalists, women challenged the astronauts' boys club and NASA's engineers helped tackle inner city housing problems. Against a backdrop of Saturn V moonshots and Neil Armstrong's giant leap for mankind, Apollo in the Age of Aquarius brings the cultural politics of the space race back down to planet Earth.
"As a child in the 1960s, I was aware of both NASA's achievements and social unrest, but unaware of the clashes between those two historical currents. Maher captures] the maelstrom of the 1960s and 1970s as it collided with NASA's program for human spaceflight." --George Zamka, Colonel USMC (Ret.) and former NASA astronaut
"NASA and Woodstock may now seem polarized, but this illuminating, original chronicle...traces multiple crosscurrents between them." --Nature
