Building and Dwelling - Richard Sennett - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Building and Dwelling - Richard Sennett - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

''Thank god for Richard Sennett ... essential reading for all students of the city'' Anna Minton, Prospect ''Constantly stimulating ideas from a veteran of urban thinking'' Jonathan Meades, Guardian In Building and Dwelling , Richard Sennett distils a lifetime''s thinking and practical experience to explore the relationship between the good built environment and the good life. He argues for, and describes in rich detail, the idea of an open city, one in which people learn to manage complexity. He shows how the design of cities can enrich or diminish the everyday experience of those who dwell in them.The book ranges widely - from London, Paris and Barcelona to Shanghai, Mumbai and Medellin in Colombia - and draws on classic thinkers such as Tocqueville, Heidegger, Max Weber, and Walter Benjamin. It also draws on Sennett''s many decades as a practical planner himself, testing what works, what doesn''t, and why. He shows what works ethically is often the most practical solution for cities'' problems. This is a humane and thrilling book, which allows us to think freshly about how we live in cities.''Sennett is my kind of urbanist. He sees the modern city. He reads its secrets as he walks down the street, kicking over the detritus of the past ... There is no alternative to the planner, but please a planner who has read Sennett''s book'' Simon Jenkins, Sunday Times

The Complete Polysyllabic Spree - Nick Hornby - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

The Complete Polysyllabic Spree - Nick Hornby - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

In his monthly accounts of what he''s read - along with what he may one day read - Nick Hornby brilliantly explores everything from the classic to the graphic novel, as well as poems, plays, sports books and other kinds of non-fiction. If he occasionally implores a biographer for brevity, or abandons a literary work in favour of an Arsenal match, then all is not lost. His writing, full of all the joy and surprise and despair that books bring him, reveals why we still read, even when there''s football on TV, a pram in the hall or a good band playing at our local pub.

The Performer - Richard Sennett - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

The Performer - Richard Sennett - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

An exploration of public performance in everyday life, by the leading cultural and social thinker The Performer explores the relations between performing in art (particularly music), politics and everyday experience. It focuses on the bodily and physical dimensions of performing, rather than on words. Richard Sennett is particularly attuned to the ways in which the rituals of ordinary life are performances.The book draws on history and sociology, and more personally on the author''s early career as a professional cellist, as well as on his later work as a city planner and social thinker. It traces the evolution of performing spaces in the city; the emergence of actors, musicians, and dancers as independent artists; the inequality between performer and spectator; the uneasy relations between artistic creation and social and religious ritual; the uses and abuses of acting by politicians. The Janus-faced art of performing is both destructive and civilizing.This is the first in a trilogy of books on the fundamental DNA of human expression: performing, narrating, and imaging.

The Fall of Public Man - Richard Sennett - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

The Fall of Public Man - Richard Sennett - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Richard Sennett''s The Fall of Public Man examines the growing imbalance between private and public experience, and asks what can bring us to reconnect with our communities. Are we now so self-absorbed that we take little interest in the world beyond our own lives? Or has public life left no place for individuals to participate? Tracing the changing nature of urban society from the eighteenth century to the world we now live in, and the decline of involvement in political life in recent decades, Richard Sennett discusses the causes of our social withdrawal. His landmark study of the imbalance of modern civilization provides a fascinating perspective on the relationship between public life and the cult of the individual. ''Brilliant ... One admires the breadth of Professor Sennett''s erudition, the reach of his historical imagination, the doggedness of his analysis ... Buy this book and read it. Ironically, it may provide a key to happiness'' Christopher Lehmann-Haupt, The New York Times ''A powerful argument for a more formal public culture and a swipe against the rise of a self-indulgent counter-culture'' Melissa Benn, Guardian ''A provocative book ... Sennett brings us to an undeniably recognizable place, the contemporary urban scene'' Richard Todd, Atlantic Monthly Richard Sennett''s previous books include The Fall of Public Man , The Corrosion of Character , Flesh and Stone and Respect . He was founder director of the New York Institute for the Humanities, and is now University Professor at New York University and Academic Governor and Professor of Sociology at the London School of Economics.

1929 - Andrew Ross Sorkin - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

1929 - Andrew Ross Sorkin - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

From the bestselling author of Too Big to Fail, “the definitive history of the 2008 banking crisis,”* comes a spellbinding narrative of the most infamous stock market crash in history. With the depth of a classic history and the drama of a thriller, 1929 unravels the greed, blind optimism, and folly that led to an era-defining collapse—one with ripple effects that still shape our society today In 1929, the world watched in shock as the unstoppable Wall Street bull market went into a freefall, wiping out fortunes and igniting a depression that would reshape a generation. But behind the flashing ticker tapes and panicked traders, another drama unfolded—one of visionaries and fraudsters, titans and dreamers, euphoria and ruin.With unparalleled access to historical records and newly uncovered documents, New York Times bestselling author Andrew Ross Sorkin takes readers inside the chaos of the crash, behind the scenes of a raging battle between Wall Street and Washington and the larger-than-life characters whose ambition and naivety in an endless boom led to wreckage. The dizzying highs and brutal lows of this era eerily mirror today’s world—where markets soar, political tensions mount, and the fight over financial influence plays out once again.This is not just a story about money. 1929 is a tale of power, psychology, and the seductive illusion that “this time is different.” It’s about disregarded alarm bells, financiers who fell from grace, and skeptics who saw the crash coming—only to be dismissed until it was too late.Hailed as a landmark book, Too Big to Fail reimagined how financial crises are told. Now, with 1929, Sorkin delivers an immersive, electrifying account of the most pivotal market collapse of all time—with lessons that remain as urgent as ever. More than just a history, 1929 is a crucial blueprint for understanding the cycles of speculation, the forces that drive financial upheaval, and the warning signs we ignore at our peril.*The Atlantic Monthly
