Originally published in 1985, Retrieving Democracy offers a
thorough and systematic answer to the familiar objection that
genuine democracy is utopian. The book outlines an imaginary, yet
imaginable, society that would be non-racist, non-sexist, and
sufficiently classless to support true civic equality. Moving
beyond previous discussions of re-industrialization and economic
democracy, the book proposes the social control of corporations; a
democratic division of labour that would maximize equality of
citizenship rather than merely the production of commodities; the
democratization of trade unions; the equalization of wages and job
opportunities and the insulation of electoral politics from the
power of money.
When the Manhattan came along, it completely changed the drinking
landscape. Cocktail historian Philip Greene traces the evolution of
this classic from the stories of its origin to its continuing
influence. Richly illustrated with vintage artwork and deluxe
photos, this definitive story of the iconic cocktail offers 65
recipes from the classic versions to the Manhattan's many
descendants - including the almighty Martini itself.

Hard-hitting melodrama about racial tensions in early 1960s
England, starring John Mills and Sylvia Sims. Jacko Palmer (John
Mills) is a union man who has to confront the prejudices of his
members when a black foreman (Earl Cameron) is appointed, and the
members threaten to strike. When he discovers that his daughter
(Sims) wants to marry Jamaican schoolteacher Peter Lincoln (Johnny
Sekka), however, Jacko must confront his own prejudices.
Ernest Hemingway is nearly as famous for his drinking as he is for his writing. Throughout his collected works, Papa's sensuous explorations of the delights of imbibing engaged both his characters and his readers.
In "To Have and Have Another: A Hemingway Cocktail Companion," Philip Greene, cocktail historian, spirits consultant, and cofounder of the Museum of the American Cocktail, offers us a view of Papa through the lens Papa himself preferred the bottom of a glass.
A bartender s manual for Hemingway enthusiasts, this revised and expanded volume offers a unique take on Hemingway s oeuvre that privileges the tastes, smells, and colors of the cocktails he enjoyed and the drinks he placed so prominently in his stories they were nearly characters themselves. "To Have and Have Another" delivers fascinating and lively background on the various drinks, their ingredients, their histories, and the characters real and fictional associated with them."
This volume contains the Proceedings of the Fifth International
Symposium on Acoustical Holograhy and Imaging, held in Palo Alto,
California, on July 18-20, 1973. The title of this Symposium
differed from that of the previous four by the addition of the word
"Imaging," reflecting an increase in emphasis on nonholographic
methods of acoustical visualization. For convenience, no change has
been made in the title of this published series. The 42 Symposium
papers cover a wide range of theoreti cal and applied topics, and
effectively define the state-of the-art in this rapidly developing
field. Many of them relate to applications of acoustic
visualization in such diverse fields as nondestructive testing,
medical diagnosis, microscopy, underwater viewing, and seismic
mapping. The papers presented at the Symposium were selected with
considerable assistance from the Program Committee. The Editor
wishes to thank the following persons for serving as members of
this committee: P. Alais, University of Paris, France; B. A. Auld,
Stanford University; D. R. Holbrooke, Children's Hospital of San
Francisco; A. Korpel, Zenith Radio Corporation; J. L. Kreuzer,

This book reveals the hidden and potentially misleading nature of
measurements, empowering readers to avoid making critical business
decisions that are harmful, unreasonable, unwarranted, or plain
wrong. Decision makers in business and government are more reliant
than ever on measurements, such as business performance indicators,
bond ratings, Six-Sigma indicators, stock ratings, opinion polls,
and market research. Yet many popular statistical and business
books and courses relating to measurement are based on flawed
principles, leading managers to the wrong conclusions-and
ultimately, the wrong decisions. misLeading Indicators: How to
Reliably Measure Your Business provides something unique and
invaluable: trustworthy tools for judging measurements. Each
chapter illustrates the four key principles for reliable
measurements: sufficient background information, accuracy and
precision, reasonable inferences, and reality checks in different
situations. After the three fundamental methods of measuring are
defined, the authors expand to the application and interpretation
of measurements in specific areas, including business performance,
risk management, process, control, finance, and economics. This
book supplies essential information for managers in business and
government who depend on accurate information to run their
organizations, as well as the consultants who advise them.
