This book analyzes and assesses theories of democracy emanating
from studies in a variety of disciplines, and proposes answers to a
wide range of questions in moral and political philosophy,
philosophy of law and democratic theory. Taken together, these

democracy.

Originally written in 1976 for his "Paris-New York" exhibition,
"Reflection on a Past Life" is painter William N. Copley's
(1919-1996) humorous and insightful account of his many bizarre
encounters with key Surrealists, such as Man Ray, Max Ernst, Marcel
Duchamp and Rene Magritte. After inheriting a fortune as a young
man, Copley (often known as "CPLY"), used his family wealth to open
The Copley Galleries in Beverly Hills shortly after World War II,
where he exhibited works by major Surrealist artists. Although the
gallery proved to be a financial flop, closing after its first
year, Copley secured a place in the annals of art history by
bringing Surrealism to Hollywood, as well as with his own painting.
This memoir provides a revealing and intimate look at the work and
thought processes of Copley's heroes from the frank, engaging
perspective of a younger colleague.

The catalog features more than eighty works by the American
William Copley (1919-1996), who as gallery owner, artist, author,
and publisher, operated as an important mediator between the
surrealists and the pop art movement since the mid-1940s and was
one of the most unconventional personalities in the art scene.
Tying in with the tradition of Dada, Surrealism, and American pop
art, his paintings are an ironic examination of the erotic game
played by men and women. The catalog includes numerous unpublished
essays by Copley, and several of his works are presented for the
first time.
In early North America, carrying watercraft—usually canoes—and
supplies across paths connecting one body of water to another was
essential in the establishment of both Indigenous and European
mobility in the continent's interior. The Chicago portage, a
network of overland canoe routes that connected the Great Lakes and
Mississippi watersheds, grew into a crossroads of interaction as
Indigenous and European people vied for its control during early
contact and colonization. John William Nelson charts the many
peoples that traversed and sought power along Chicago's portage
paths from the seventeenth to the mid-nineteenth centuries,
including Indigenous Illinois traders, French explorers, Jesuit
missionaries, Meskwaki warriors, British officers, Anishinaabe
headmen, and American settlers. Nelson compellingly demonstrates
that even deep within the interior, power relations fluctuated
based on the control of waterways and local environmental
knowledge. Pushing beyond political and cultural explanations for
Indigenous-European relations in the borderlands of North America,
Nelson places environmental and geographic realities at the center
of the history of Indigenous Chicago, offering a new explanation
for how the United States gained control of the North American
interior through a two-pronged subjugation of both the landscapes
and peoples of the continent.
A definitive ethnological study of the Iroquois' subsistence,

Rising affluence and greater freedom have brought us more
choices, more opportunities, and richer lifestyles than ever
before. However, progress is a double-edged sword: our expectations
are now greater than ever, there is never enough time, and the
great majority of us suffer from choice overload. Life feels too
hectic, too pressured - too complicated.
Would we really want to turn back the clock to simpler times?
Absolutely not - today we are richer, healthier, and have more
freedom than any previous generation. But to reap the benefits of
progress, we urgently need to find ways to cope with the
complexities we face.
In complicated Lives, Michael Willmott and William Nelson
presents an in-depth analysis of the challenges and pressure that
we are exposed to in our everyday lives. Offering strategies and
insights for avoiding the malaise of modernity while exploring the
opportunities the 21st century has to offer, this book takes you on
fascinating journey of self-discovery into the realities of life in
today's complex, multi-channel world.
Steadily rising affluence and greater freedom have brought us more
choices, more opportunities, and richer lifestyles than ever
before.
However, here is the 'paradox of progress' - that our
expectations are greater than ever, that there is never enough
time, and that the great majority of us are suffering from 'choice
overload'. Life often feels too hectic, too pressured - too
complicated.
Would we really want to turn back the clock to simpler times?
Absolutely not - today's consumers are richer, healthier, safer and
have more freedom than any before them. But to reap the benefitsof
progress, consumers need help to cope with the complexities they
face. This is the key problem in the lives of the affluent
majority, and a prime opportunity for business in the 21st
century.
In a book as useful to consumers as it is to business
strategists, Willmott and Nelson present in-depth analysis of the
complexities of modern consumers' lives, and provide innovative and
practical responses for business and marketing strategy.
