Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'This highly original, beautifully written, and charming book is vintage Andrei Codrescu. No one else has written anything remotely like it.

20.5 x 10.0cms 235pp very good+ paperback & cover This book is a guide to how to bring the spirit of dada into your life & was inspired by an imagined 1916 game of chess in a Zurich caf? between Tristan Tzara (a dada-ist) and VI Lenin. For Codrescu they embody two paths of human development in the 20th century: one the taboo-breaking pranksterism of dada the other the soullessly efficient techno-rationalism of communism-cum-late-capitalism. This guide tells the story of dada and puts you back in touch with your inner avant gardist - a serious-minded plea for creativity.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - There are more statues of Robert Burns in the United States than there are of any American poet. Scotland's favorite poet has been loved by generations of Americans--from Abraham Lincoln and Walt Whitman to Robert Frost, Maya Angelou, and Bob Dylan. Now this book makes Burns's greatest poetry more accessible to American readers than ever before. This is the only comprehensive selection of his work that has discreet line-by-line marginal glossing of the Scots, archaic, and obscure words, allowing readers to understand and enjoy the poems without constantly having to turn to footnotes or a glossary. Newly edited from manuscripts and early printed texts, this definitive, wide-ranging collection also introduces some recently discovered verses--and it is the only edition to present a substantial selection of Burns's important prose writings, including letters and key statements about his art. Edited and annotated by acclaimed Burns biographer Robert Crawford and textual expert Christopher MacLachlan, the book also includes a substantial introduction that puts the poet in biographical, historical, and cultural context. The Best Laid Schemes demonstrates like no other collection why Burns is considered one of the world's greatest poets of love and democracy--and why he continues to entertain, move, and intrigue readers two and a half centuries after his birth.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - When Harvard-trained sociologist Peter Moskos left the classroom to become a cop in Baltimore's Eastern District, he was thrust deep into police culture and the ways of the street--the nerve-rattling patrols, the thriving drug corners, and a world of poverty and violence that outsiders never see. 'In Cop in the Hood,' Moskos reveals the truths he learned on the midnight shift.Through Moskos's eyes, we see police academy graduates unprepared for the realities of the street, success measured by number of arrests, and the ultimate failure of the war on drugs. In addition to telling an explosive insider's story of what it is really like to be a police officer, he makes a passionate argument for drug legalization as the only realistic way to end drug violence--and let cops once again protect and serve. In a new afterword, Moskos describes the many benefits of foot patrol--or, as he calls it, 'policing green.'.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - On the night of the 2000 presidential election, Americans watched on television as polling results divided the nation's map into red and blue states. Since then the color divide has become symbolic of a culture war that thrives on stereotypes--pickup-driving red-state Republicans who vote based on God, guns, and gays; and elitist blue-state Democrats woefully out of touch with heartland values. With wit and prodigious number crunching, Andrew Gelman debunks these and other political myths.This expanded edition includes new data and easy-to-read graphics explaining the 2008 election. 'Red State, Blue State, Rich State, Poor State' is a must-read for anyone seeking to make sense of today's fractured political landscape.
