Adopting an interdisciplinary approach, encompassing philosophy, literature, politics and history, John Foley examines the full breadth of Camus' ideas to provide a comprehensive and rigorous study of his political and philosophical thought and a significant contribution to a range of debates current in Camus research. Foley argues that the coherence of Camus' thought can best be understood through a thorough understanding of the concepts of 'the absurd' and 'revolt' as well as the relation between them. This book includes a detailed discussion of Camus' writings for the newspaper "Combat", a systematic analysis of Camus' discussion of the moral legitimacy of political violence and terrorism, a reassessment of the prevailing postcolonial critique of Camus' humanism, and a sustained analysis of Camus' most important and frequently neglected work, "L'Homme revolte" (The Rebel).

The 'Pump Boys' sell high octane on Highway 57 in Grand Ole Opry country and the 'Dinettes', Prudie and Rhetta Cupp, run the Double Cupp diner next door. Together they fashion an evening of country western songs that received unanimous raves on and off Broadway. With heartbreak and hilarity, they perform on guitars, piano, bass and, yes, kitchen utensils.

More than 62 million people watched the presidential debates. Amazingly half the country selectively heard one message while the other half heard something completely different. What made the difference were the personal values people used to filter and interpret what they saw and heard. Values are what drive behavior in politics, commerce, and your business.

Successful companies often assume that if sales are good, then their branding must be effective. They often pay little attention to what actually sustains their brand and reputation, leaving them vulnerable to dangerous backlash if a rift develops between their values and those of their stakeholders.

Every stakeholder--customers, employees, shareholders, and community members--plays a role in the overall success of a company. When corporate values are out of alignment with stakeholder values, trouble is right around the corner. In this groundbreaking book, branding expert John Foley shows how to understand and effectively respond to the needs of each stakeholder group, emphasizing "reputation" in balance with "brand" to avoid damaging misalignment between them. "Balanced Brand" provides tools for identifying potential backlash flashpoints and for designing internal and external communication strategies for projecting appropriate values.

This important resource is based on years of research, including interviews with senior managers who struggle with the challenges of foreign competition, outsourcing, and the relentless cycle of reducing costs while adding value to compete in a global market. The book delivers the systems and tools to assess and align corporate values with stakeholder values. Using these guidelines, companies will have a new way to manage stakeholders that results in building and protecting a strong brand and a strong reputation. The competitive advantages created by "Balanced Brand" can help any company--no matter how large or small--succeed.
