START A REVOLUTION NOT A BUSINESS Don't waste your time on bullsh*t
business plans. Forget sales. Put everything on the line for what
you believe in. These are some of the mantras that have turned
BrewDog into one of the world's fastest-growing drinks brands,
famous for beers, bars and crowdfunding. In Business for Punks,
BrewDog co-founder James Watt bottles the essence of this success.
From finances ('chase down every cent, pimp every pound') to
marketing ('lead with the crusade, not the product') this is an
anarchic, indispensable guide to thriving on your own terms.

idea' The Times
All the human senses become engaged in ritualizing sacred texts.
These essays focus especially on ritualizing the iconic dimension
of texts through the senses of sight, touch, kiss, and taste, both
directly and in the imagination. Ritualized display of books
engages the sense of sight very differently than does reading.
Touching gets associated with reading scriptures, but touching also
enables using the scripture as an amulet. Eating and consuming
texts is a ubiquitous analogy for internalizing the contents of
texts by reading and memorization. The idea of textual consumption
reflects a widespread tendency to equate humans and written texts
by their interiority and exteriority: books and people both have
material bodies, yet both seem to contain immaterial ideas. Books
thus physically incarnate cultural and religious values, doctrines,
beliefs, and ideas. These essays bring theories of comparative
scriptures and affect theory to bear on the topic as well as rich
ethnographic descriptions of scriptural practices with Jewish,
Sikh, Muslim, Christian, Buddhist and modern art and historical
accounts of changing practices with sacred texts in ancient and
medieval China and Korea, and in ancient Middle Eastern and
Mediterranean cultures..

When Bridget the alligator arrives in the mail, she's only the size of a key chain! But after Zack soaks her in water, she grows into a real live alligator. Bridget wrestles the garden hose and swings from the monkey bars. And what other alligator can do cartwheels? Children's Books of 1989 (Library of Congress)
How did Britons understand their relationship with the East in the
late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries? James Watt's new
study remaps the literary history of British Orientalisms between
1759, the 'year of victories' in the Seven Years' War, and 1835,
when T. B. Macaulay published his polemical 'Minute on Indian
Education'. It explores the impact of the war on Britons' cultural
horizons, and the different and shifting ways in which Britons
conceived of themselves and their nation as 'open' to the East
across this period. Considering the emergence of new forms and
styles of writing in the context of an age of empire and
revolution, Watt examines how the familiar 'Eastern' fictions of
the past were adapted, reworked, and reacted against. In doing so
he illuminates the larger cultural conflict which animated a nation
debating with itself about its place in the world and relation to
its others.
