Better Living Through Criticism Penguin Books

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

The New York Times film critic shows why we need criticism now more than everFew could explain, let alone seek out, a career in criticism. Yet what A.O. Scott shows in Better Living Through Criticism is that we are, in fact, all critics: because critical thinking informs almost every aspect of artistic creation, of civil action, of interpersonal life. With penetrating insight and warm humor, Scott shows that while individual critics--himself included--can make mistakes and find flaws where they shouldn't, criticism as a discipline is one of the noblest, most creative, and urgent activities of modern existence.Using his own film criticism as a starting point--everything from his infamous dismissal of the international blockbuster The Avengers to his intense affection for Pixar's animated Ratatouille --Scott expands outward, easily guiding readers through the complexities of Rilke and Shelley, the origins of Chuck Berry and the Rolling Stones, the power of Marina Abramovich and 'Ode on a Grecian Urn.' Drawing on the long tradition of criticism from Aristotle to Susan Sontag, Scott shows that real criticism was and always will be the breath of fresh air that allows true creativity to thrive. "The time for criticism is always now," Scott explains, "because the imperative to think clearly, to insist on the necessary balance of reason and passion, never goes away."

Clear Thinking Penguin US

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

Few things will change your trajectory in life or business as much as learning to think clearly. Yet few of us recognize opportunities to think in the first place.You might believe you re thinking clearly in the moments that matter most. But in all likelihood, when the pressure is on, you won t be thinking at all. And your subsequent actions will inevitably move you further from the results you ultimately seek love, belonging, success, wealth, victory. According to Farnam Street founder Shane Parrish, we must get better at recognizing these opportunities for what they are, and deploying our cognitive ability in order to achieve the life we want.Clear Thinking gives you the tools to recognize the moments that have the potential to transform your trajectory, and reshape how you navigate the critical space between stimulus and response. As Parrish shows, we may imagine we are the protagonists in the story of our lives. But the sad truth is, most of us run on autopilot. Our behavioral defaults, groomed by biology, evolution, and culture, are primed to run the show for us if we don t intervene. At our worst, we react to events without reasoning, not even realizing that we ve missed an opportunity to think at all. At our best, we recognize these moments for what they are, and apply the full capacity of our reasoning and rationality to them.Through stories, mental models, and more, Parrish offers the missing link between behavioral science and real-life outcomes. The result is a must-have manual for optimizing decision-making, gaining competitive advantage, and living a more intentional life.

Benjamin Graham, Building a Profession McGraw-Hill

Medycyna > English Division

How One Man Created a Profession-and Entirely Transformed the World of Investing "The small list of investment books that must grace the library of any serious investor-not to gather dust, but to be opened over and over again-just grew by one. This wonderful compilation of the wit and wisdom of Benjamin Graham is the new addition. Savor it. Learn from it. Treasure it." John C. Bogle, founder and former Chief Executive, The Vanguard Group "If youth is measured by creativity and excitement about new ideas and a thirst for learning, then Ben Graham-in his early 80s-was the youngest guy in the room when two-dozen stellar investment managers met for three days to explain the inner workings of investment management." Charles D. Ellis, CFA, Bestselling Author of Winning the Loser's Game "These writings, spanning over 30 years, help us understand even better the remarkable achievement of this visionary man and his lasting influence on the finance profession." Burton Malkiel, Princeton University, Bestselling Author of A Random Walk Down Wall Street "Investing involves the intelligent triangulation between fundamentals, psychology, and prices. Benjamin Graham, Building a Profession ...illustrates how this investment legend never stopped thinking about this multi-dimensional challenge. " Seth Klarman, The Baupost Group "Serious professionals in the investment business will delight in pouring over this and checking their own thoughts against those of the master." Jeffrey J. Diermeier, CFA, Diermeier Family Foundation, and former CFA Institute president and CEO "This is a must-read for anyone interested in the history and development of our profession and the importance of critical investment thinking." Gary P. Brinson, CFA, GP Brinson Investments "Some investors ('the happy few') know that Ben Graham's writings on financial analysis give them a leg up. So they will want to read this book, and other investors should." Jean-Marie Eveillard, First Eagle Funds "The CFA Institute and Jason Zweig have performed an invaluable service to our profession in collecting these [writings] in one volume." William H. Miller, CFA, Legg Mason Funds Management About the Book: When Benjamin Graham began workingon Wall Street in 1914, the centerof American finance resembled a lawless frontier.The concept of regulatory laws was in itsinfancy, the SEC wouldn't see the light of dayfor 20 years, and many firms hid assets andearnings from nosy outsiders. And security analysts didn't exist as weknow them. They were called "diagnosticians,"and they didn't do much analyzing. These investorsprided themselves on going with the"feel" of the market, and most of them rarelylooked at a financial statement. Appalled by the lack of research and quantification,Benjamin Graham set out to changeall this-and ended up creating the disciplineof modern security analysis. A collection of rare writings by and interviewswith one of financial history's most brilliantvisionaries, Benjamin Graham, Building aProfession presents Graham's evolution of ideason security analysis spanning five decades.Articles include: "Should Security Analysts Have aProfessional Rating? The Affirmative Case" Financial Analysts Journal (1945) "Toward a Science of Security Analysis" Financial Analysts Journal (1952) "Inflated Treasuries and DeflatedStockholders: Are CorporationsMilking Their Owners?" Forbes (1932) "The Future of Financial Analysis" Financial Analysts Journal (1963) "Controlling versus OutsideStockholders" Virginia Law Weekly (1953) These pages reveal the revolutionary ideas of aman who didn't so much find his calling as hecreated it from scratch-and opened the doorfor entire generations of investors.

This book explores the spread in recent years of political efforts to rectify injustices handed down from the past. Although it recognizes that campaigns for reparations may lead to an improvement in the well-being of victims of mistreatment by states and to reconciliation among former antagonists, it examines the extent to which the concern with the past may represent a departure from the traditionally future-oriented stance of progressive politics. Viewing the search for "coming to terms with the past" as a form of politics, it argues that there are major differences between reparations for the living victims of past wrongdoing and reparations for the descendants of such victims. More fundamentally, it argues that claims for reparations comprise a relatively novel kind of politics that involves a quest for symbolic recognition and material compensation for those seeking them--through the idiom of the past rather than the present. The prominent role of lawyers in such politics speaks to a larger trend toward the "juridification of politics" that often has problematic consequences for these campaigns. Concerns to right the wrongs of the past, the book concludes, may distract from the fight to overcome contemporary injustices.    --Anyone interested in the history, politics, sociology or philosophy of reparations should read John Torpey's brilliant analysis of global reparations politics. Torpey uses a superb blend of historical sociology and philosophy to offer his readers an informed, skeptical, yet not entirely unsympathetic look at the reparations movement.    --Rhonda E. Howard-Hassmann, Canadian Journal of Sociology OnlineWhy do we so regularly hear admonishments to "come to terms with the past?" In reply, John Torpey identifies momentous trends in a splendid, far-ranging inquiry: the collapse of transformative politics and the end of the Cold War, the emergence of the Holocaust as a template for the rectification of historic wrongs, the mobilization of the historically victimized, and the mix of human rights commitments with the juridification of politics. Critical, yet balanced and humane, Torpey presents a savvy, deeply-informed analysis that should be contemplated by all who seek a better global future. I couldn't recommend him more enthusiastically.    --Michael R. Marrus, University of Toronto and author of The Holocaust in HistoryMaking Whole What Has Been Smashed: On Reparations Politics is comprehensive, thoughtful, and almost compulsively readable. John Torpey's willingness to query the unquestioned pieties of our era's therapeutic politics is a tribute to the rigorousness of his approach. The tone of the work is consistently cool, analytical, and tactfully skeptical, no small achievement given the highly charged nature of these debates.    --Michael Brown, Williams College and author of Who Owns Native Culture?"When the future collapses, the past rushes in." With this formidable insight, John Torpey launches his penetrating study of the many varieties of reparations politics around the world. In exemplary fashion, Torpey clarifies what is at stake in a global movement seeking recompense and apology for the past's insulted and injured in an era inhospitable to ideals for future reconstruction. This reflective work is a splendid starting point for thinking through not only reparation ideas but some of the other large quandaries of reform thought today.    --Todd Gitlin, Columbia University and author of The Intellectuals and the Flag
