This fascinating book isolates the significant factors underlying the proliferation of pornography in American society.

Tenure for Socrates: A Study in the Betrayal of the American Professor
ISBN: 9780897892445 / Angielski / Twarda / 1990 / 232 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) In this provocative criticism of the contemporary American professoriate, Jon Huer argues that tenure has created a kind of academic stupor in which those who have it no longer live up to the ideals of their profession. In Huer's view, the institution of tenure has created an economic sinecure, rendering the tenured professor irrelevant to the society that sustains him or her. The typical tenured career, Huer asserts, often degenerates into intellectual boredom, the routine publication of a series of narrowly specialized research papers, a pervasive dissatisfaction, and a search for...

Auschwitz, USA: A Comparative Study in Efficiency and Human Resources Management: How the Nazis' Final Solution Annihilated the Jews i
ISBN: 9780761851875 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 138 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) In the last hundred years of industrial advancement, a great deal of scientific progress has been made in the field of efficiency studies. Known as human resources management among those who study these things, the main quest has always been how to control human thoughts and actions so that everything works to the maximum benefit of those who control these human resources. Accordingly, the most "efficient" system is one that controls the human resources by eliminating the human part and turning them into pure resources. In other words, their ultimate organizational goal is to transform people...

Donald Trump: Made in the USA
ISBN: 9780761869276 / Angielski / Miękka / 2017 / 206 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) We in the U.S. have deserved someone like Donald Trump as our president for some time. Until now, by a string of luck, we had mostly centrist presidents, both Republican and Democratic, some with only a modicum of intelligence and humanity. With Donald Trump, however, we finally ran out of luck and he is our sitting president. Now, the spotlight is focused on him, but we easily forget that he is, after all, a product of his own society. Trump's rise to power owes itself to its own social-historical circumstances: For decades now America's Consumer Society had prepared the American voters,...

Call From the Cave: Our Cruel Nature and Quest for Power
ISBN: 9780761860150 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 530 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) This book explores the nature of power in persons, groups, and nations by asking a question that we can understand in contemporary terms: what would Bill Gates do if he had Hitler's absolute power? It is a sociological question that exposes power as a tool of control over the powerless, not as a psychological trait or manners of personal interactions. With Hitler's power, any individual, group, or nation could become as crazy as Hitler or as cruel as the Nazis. Call from the Cave argues that the savage struggle for power, exemplified in the free market system of America--history's first and...

Labor Avoidance: The Origins of Inhumanity
ISBN: 9780761865506 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 276 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) Labor Avoidance is about work, something everyone hates, and something everyone longs to escape. At the same time, human nature is to sustain life that is physical, and thus constant labor is a necessity. This is what humanity, from Eden to our own post-industrial society, has always tried to reduce or avoid by making somebody else do it. Historically, this nature and origin of labor-avoidance is responsible for war, colonialism, slavery, and now, contract employment in market society. This book explores American capitalism and how labor (and the desire to escape it) has become responsible...

The Great Art Hoax exposes the real fakery and hypocrisy of the art world: how art is manufactured and marketed; how the pathology of private possession drives up the price; and how false art is hyped as true art to the tune of millions of dollars. Jon Huer demonstrates convincingly that what the art market deals as art need not be art at all.

The Wages of Sin: America's Dilemma of Profit Against Humanity
ISBN: 9780275939328 / Angielski / Twarda / 1991 / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) This is an incisive book about what has gone wrong with the social fabric of American society. Jon Huer postulates two models of society: one that pursues profit and self-interest, and the other that cherishes community values. Huer holds that these two types of ethics cannot coexist in a truly just society. One prominent result of the current dominance of the profit-driven model of behavior is that American society increasingly substitutes reality with illusion, happiness with pleasure, strength with brute force--highlighted by the now-obsessive demands for entertainment and...

A House Inside Of Me: Poetry by Marian Elsie Blake
ISBN: 9781492957423 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 128 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) Marian Elsie Blake was a woman way ahead of her times. She wrote poetry her entire life for her children, funerals, births, church sermons, and many other life events. But, her humble nature meant that she never published any of it. After her death in 2007, we found more than 100 poems around her house. They were in her own handwriting, typewritten on assorted sheets of paper, written in her well loved Bible, and stashed in multiple places around her house. A House Inside of Me is the first publication of her poems, which she recited frequently for those who knew her. Her poetry gives us hope...
