Just beneath the dark underbelly of a quiet Texas town, lurks a
serial killer who sadistically preys on innocent victims. His
debauchery and madness remain hidden behind the facade of
"normality." Five women have mysteriously disappeared, their bodies
butchered and dumped down an abandoned oil well, a sixth savagely
beaten, but alive. Detectives Rick Miller and Dave Alison leave no
stone unturned in their quest to find out who's responsible.
Meanwhile, death stalks more victims
Spreading death wherever he goes, a psychotic killer leaves body
parts scattered across five states, changing modus operandi in a
diabolical attempt to throw the police off his trail. In Texas,
Detective Dave Alison believes the "Trash Bag Killer," now sitting
on death row for those crimes, could be innocent. What follows is a
dramatic twist in a five-year-old serial murder case that could
seal the fate of the real killer. Can a police dragnet finally put
an end to a "copycat" killer whose body count stands at 17?
Speed of production, of information flow, of capital moving through
deregulated financial and trading systems is apparently ubiquitous,
as indeed is its seemingly inexorable increase in the consequently
ever shorter here and now that we inhabit. But with so much going
on, and going on so quickly, how can it all or can any of it be
attended to? This volume assembles a range of thoughtful
contributors who have bent their minds to deploy a range of
different perspectives to consider the current fascination with
speed and its implications for organizing and organizations.
Through writings ordered into three key themes The Speed of
Organizational Identity, The Speed of Organizational Technology,
and The Speed of Organizational Imagery the contributors invite the
reader to take gulps of theoretical and reflective air, to hold in
abeyance for a moment the breathless talk of a faster tomorrow, to
pause to look at the hurdy gurdy. Fast food, dotcoms, hotdesking,
and international travelers fly across the page, skillfully
illuminated by insights drawn from theorists past and present. The
speed of organization will certainly be more vivid after having
read this book.

Meanwhile, death stalks more victims
Owen-Towle commenced his participation in the men's movement 30

This authoritative volume of 453 letters written by and to composer
Charles Ives (1874-1954) provides unparalleled insight into one of
the most extraordinary and paradoxical careers in American music
history. The most comprehensive collection of Ives's correspondence
in print, this book opens a direct window on Ives's complex
personality and his creative process. Though Ives spent much of his
career out of the mainstream of professional music-making, he
corresponded with a surprisingly large group of musicians and
critics, including John J. Becker, Henry Bellamann, Leonard
Bernstein, John Cage, Aaron Copland, Henry Cowell, Ingolf Dahl,
Walter Damrosch, Lehman Engel, Clifton J. Furness, Lou Harrison,
Bernard Herrmann, John Kirkpatrick, Serge Koussevitzky, John Lomax,
Francesco Malipiero, Radiana Pazmor, Paul Rosenfeld, Carl Ruggles,
E. Robert Schmitz, Nicolas Slonimsky, and Peter Yates.
