Описание: Winner of the Hemingway Foundation/PEN Award, this is one of the defining books of the 1970s, an experimental novel about a young journalist trying to navigate life in America. When Speedboat burst on the scene in the late '70s it was like nothing readers had encountered before. It seemed to disregard the rules of the novel, but it wore its unconventionality with ease. Reading it was a pleasure of a new, unexpected kind. Above all, there was its voice, ambivalent, curious, wry, the voice of Jen Fain, a journalist negotiating the fraught landscape of contemporary urban America. Party guests, taxi drivers, brownstone dwellers, professors, journalists, presidents, and debutantes fill these dispatches from the world as Jen finds it. A touchstone over the years for writers as different as David Foster Wallace and Elizabeth Hardwick, Speedboat returns to enthrall a new generation of readers.

Описание:
This book reconstructs the history of skepticism ranging from ancient to contemporary times, from Pyrrho to Kripke. The main skeptical stances and the historical reconstruction of the concept of skepticism are connected with an analysis of their recurrent inconsistency. The author reveals that this inconsistency is not a logical contradiction but a pragmatic one. She shows that it is a contradiction between the content of the skeptical position and the implicit presumption of the act of its assertion. The thesis of global skepticism cannot be accepted as true without falling into the pragmatic inconsistency. The author explains, how skepticism was important for exposing the limits of human knowledge and inspired its development.
As a nation of immigrants, the United States has long accepted that citizens who identify with an ancestral homeland may hold dual loyalties; yet Americans have at times regarded the persistence of foreign ties with suspicion, seeing them as a sign of potential disloyalty and a threat to national security. Diaspora Lobbies and the US Government brings together a group of distinguished scholars of international politics and international migration to examine this contradiction in the realm of American policy making, ultimately concluding that the relationship between diaspora groups and the government can greatly affect foreign policy. This relationship is not unidirectional—as much as immigrants make an effort to shape foreign policy, government legislators and administrators also seek to enlist them in furthering American interests.
From Israel to Cuba and from Ireland to Iraq, the case studies in this volume illustrate how potential or ongoing conflicts raise the stakes for successful policy outcomes. Contributors provide historical and sociological context, gauging the influence of diasporas based on population size and length of time settled in the United States, geographic concentration, access to resources from their own members or through other groups, and the nature of their involvement back in their homelands. This collection brings a fresh perspective to a rarely discussed aspect of the design of US foreign policy and offers multiple insights into dynamics that may determine how the United States will engage other nations in future decades.

Page after page will give confidence to other women who want to work in venture capital. By the time they finish reading the book, I hope that they get the feeling of: 'If they could do it, I can do it too '"Janet Bannister, General Partner, Real Ventures"The existing bias in venture capital is multidimensional, and implicates career challenges not only for women, but also for other underrepresented groups. Fixing the diversity problem in the industry will take a long time and require a continuous and steady pace of activities and changes. With Women Who Venture, Renata George is helping us all along that journey."Brad Feld, Co-Founder, TechStars"Books like this, which show not only seasoned female investors but also introduce new names, are critically important.

It is also a vital read for men seeking a place in the industry, and for those already working there, because it is a harbinger of what is coming to the business at an increasing pace, as women become vital to the venture capital world."Franklin 'Pitch' Johnson, Founder, Asset Management Co."We should shine a spotlight on the great work being done by as many female investors as possible - not just a small subset. There are plenty of smart, talented women investing from early stage through growth, in life sciences, consumer, enterprise tech, hardware, robotics - you name it The more stories we tell, the less it will be an anomaly to see a woman in venture capital, and the more women will be inspired to pursue investing careers. This] book is a great example of that work."Stephanie Palmeri, Partner, Uncork Capital"We need to approach the diversity issue in the venture capital and startup worlds the same way that Renata built her book: looking through all the verticals, making sure that first-time investors are involved as much as seasoned venture capitalists, considering all the geographies, ensuring that people of diverse ethnicities, backgrounds and experiences are included, and of course, inviting male counterparts to the conversation."Kimmy Paluch, Beta BoomThe book Women Who Venture features 99 women making investment decisions in venture capital around the world, a limited partner, and a founder of the initiative The Billion Dollar Fund for Women. Forget everything that you've heard before and read the real stories not manicured by the media, about women who achieved success in this male-dominated industry. They tell us how they worked hand in hand with men to get where they are; what it took them to become venture capitalists, and what the future will hold. There has never been a stronger collection of wisdom from women who are at the top of the venture capital world. Imagine watching several episodes of David Letterman's "My Next Guest" show with your favorite characters. Funny, controversial, always sharp and intelligent, they tell about their adventures, challenges, and lessons learned. Whether you agree or disagree with their personal beliefs and opinions, you won't stay indifferent to what they have to say.The author, Renata George, surveyed hundreds of people on social media to find out who their favorite women VCs were, whom she then interviewed to discuss their experience in the VC industry in a raw and honest manner.
