The definitive portrait of one of the American Century's most towering intellectuals: her writing and her radical thought, her public activism and her hidden private face
No writer is as emblematic of the American twentieth century as Susan Sontag. Mythologized and misunderstood, lauded and loathed, a girl from the suburbs who became a proud symbol of cosmopolitanism, Sontag left a legacy of writing on art and politics, feminism and homosexuality, celebrity and style, medicine and drugs, radicalism and Fascism and Freudianism and Communism and Americanism, that forms an indispensable key to modern culture. She was there when the Cuban Revolution began, and when the Berlin Wall came down; in Vietnam under American bombardment, in wartime Israel, in besieged Sarajevo. She was in New York when artists tried to resist the tug of money--and when many gave in. No writer negotiated as many worlds; no serious writer had as many glamorous lovers. Sontag tells these stories and examines the work upon which her reputation was based. It explores the agonizing insecurity behind the formidable public face: the broken relationships, the struggles with her sexuality, that animated--and undermined--her writing. And it shows her attempts to respond to the cruelties and absurdities of a country that had lost its way, and her conviction that fidelity to high culture was an activism of its own.
Utilizing hundreds of interviews conducted from Maui to Stockholm and from London to Sarajevo--and featuring nearly one hundred images--Sontag is the first book based on the writer's restricted archives, and on access to many people who have never before spoken about Sontag, including Annie Leibovitz. It is a definitive portrait--a great American novel in the form of a biography.

Описание: Everyone benefits when women discover the joy of bonding...face it girls, we are good at this. We can connect with the woman in front of us at the market, or exchange child-rearing tips with someone we just met in an elevator. Men don't do this, and more amazingly, don't want to (they don't know what they're missing ) The truth is, God made us this way. God also gave us gifts that determine how we deal with friendship and life's problems, gifts that also help us become all we can be. The Sister Circle Handbook combines the discovery of your gifts and gives you direction on how to use them in your relationships.The Sister Circle Handbook celebrates the joy of sisterhood and is perfect for small group use. It showcases twelve life-issues (like Moods, Forgiveness, Gossip, Dealing with Difficult People, Disappointment, Forgiveness...) and offers biblical and sister-to-sister solutions. The material is not day, month, or year dated, nor is it seasonally defined, so it can be started at any time (we girls need flexibility ) And there's more...outreach ideas, party starters, and yummy recipes just to keep you going. The tone is not preachy-teachy but conversational, and is fashioned with a heady mixture of female wit and fun interwoven with substance. In addition, the Sister Circle Handbook is a great companion to the four Sister Circle novels by Nancy Moser and Vonette Bright. The goal is for every woman to develop her spiritual life, discover her God-given gifts, nourish sisterhood, and find joy in sharing her faith. Both new and seasoned believers will be enriched by the experience. So open up the Sister Circle Handbook and have fun with the to-dos, how-tos, and good news about being a Sister in Christ

Описание:
In January 1992, human resources manager Louise Moser Illes was notified, along with nine hundred co-workers, that the semiconductor plant where she worked would be closed by the end of the year. A month later, she began to document the process that she helped carry out and that left her without a job.
Closing a plant takes a heavy toll on the employees, the community, and the company management. While much has been written about the effects of plant shutdowns in the past three decades, Sizing Down is one of the first studies of the process itself. Illes uses her paradoxical perspective as a victim of downsizing charged with its orchestration to examine every phase of the shutdown and to draw out the constructive lessons that can be learned from the experience. What she learned at the Signetics semiconductor plant in Orem, Utah, has relevance for people caught in any reduction of personnel and facilities.
From the compelling stories of how individual employees responded and her own observations of the parent company, Illes teases out the most effective strategies to sustain worker morale. How did employees regain equilibrium in their working lives? Which management decisions helped retain the company's essential human resources and contributed to its overall financial health? What were the minor problems that went unnoticed until they grew difficult to manage? Illes includes an appendix of the questions asked of workers and managers, suggesting guidelines to minimize the disasters of sizing down.
