Описание:

Doron Taussig invites us to question the American Dream. Did you earn what you have? Did everyone else?

The American Dream is built on the idea that Americans end up roughly where we deserve to be in our working lives based on our efforts and abilities; in other words, the United States is supposed to be a meritocracy. When Americans think and talk about our lives, we grapple with this idea, asking how a person got to where he or she is and whether he or she earned it. In What We Mean by the American Dream, Taussig tries to find out how we answer those questions.

Weaving together interviews with Americans from many walks of life—as well as stories told in the US media about prominent figures from politics, sports, and business—What We Mean by the American Dream investigates how we think about whether an individual deserves an opportunity, job, termination, paycheck, or fortune. Taussig looks into the fabric of American life to explore how various people, including dairy farmers, police officers, dancers, teachers, computer technicians, students, store clerks, the unemployed, homemakers, and even drug dealers got to where they are today and whether they earned it or not.

Taussigs frank assessment of the state of the US workforce and its dreams allows him to truly and meaningfully ask the question that underpins so many of our political debates and personal frustrations: Did you earn it? By doing so, he sheds new light on what we mean by—and how we can deliver on—the American Dream of today.

Описание:

An exquisite exploration of the dark, self-transformative power of the tarot archetypes from a world-renowned artist and tarot enthusiast

This is tarot deck and book that will help you plumb the depths of your soul, expose the powerful even frightening aspects of the human psyche, and teach you to cultivate self-realization.

Arthur Taussig, the creator of the Alchemical Visions Tarot, is a renowned artist and polymath: a physicist, photographer, filmmaker, and musician whose artwork has been exhibited in 300 exhibitions worldwide. His complex imagery explores the theme of the Hero's Journey throughout the major and minor arcana and reveals often overlooked psychological implications of many of the tarot archetypes. Each card is presented as a key to cultivating self-awareness and self-realization.

While the Alchemical Visions Tarot falls in the tradition of the Waite and Marseilles decks, it moves past preconceived notions of race of and gender. It is a deck that all serious tarot enthusiasts and spiritual seekers will want to explore for themselves.

Описание:

In this ambitious and accomplished work, Taussig explores the complex and interwoven concepts of mimesis, the practice of imitation, and alterity, the opposition of Self and Other. The book moves from the nineteenth-century invention of mimetically capacious machines, such as the camera, to the fable of colonial 'first contact' and the alleged mimetic power of 'primitives'. Twenty years after the original publication, Taussig revisits the work in a new preface which contextualises the impact of Mimesis and Alterity. Drawing on the ideas of Benjamin, Adorno and Horckheimer and ethnographic accounts of the Cuna, Taussig demonstrates how the history of mimesis is deeply tied to colonialism and the idea of alterity has become increasingly unstable. Vigorous and unorthodox, this cross-cultural discussion continues to deepen our understanding of the relationship between ethnography, racism and society.

Описание: This book describes version 4 of CATS CM(R). This methodology for contract managementcan be used in both private and public sector organizations, and is valid for both demandand supply side.Contract management is the realization of intended contract objectives by proactivelymonitoring the fulfillment of all contractually established responsibilities, obligations,procedures, agreements, conditions and rates, resolving all ambiguities, contradictions andwhite spaces, managing all contract-related risks, and implementing all desired changes tothe contract, during the execution phase.CATS CM(R) offers a methodical and scalable approach to contract management. Itprovides a description of the principles, roles, and main issues for the contract managerand the best way of working. In addition to a description of the methodology, CATS CM(R)version 4 also offers specific tools for implementing contract management, for policy aswell as for processes.Increasingly, organizations recognize the importance of being in control of their businessecosystem. CATS CM(R) assists organizations to increase control of their joint responsibilityboth from a procurement and delivery point of view. A large number of organizations havechosen CATS CM(R) as the standard for their contract management processes.This new version of CATS CM(R) has been developed with these various practices in mind.CATS CM(R) version 4 is based on the principle that the management of a contract in execution has strong similarities on both sides of the contract, i.e. demand and supply; both can best be described as working in conjunction with each other.This book is intended for all who are responsible for, or deal with the execution ofcontracts: contract managers, business managers, delivery managers, project managers,service managers, facility managers, buyers, procurement managers, compliance managers,risk managers, account managers, sales managers and HR managers, along with theirdirectors and board members on both sides of the contract.
