Description: An inside look at world of private equity tycoons as their fi rms go public

What do Dunkin' Donuts, J. Crew, Toys "R" Us, and Burger King have in common? They are all owned and controlled by private equity fi rms. The New Tycoons takes the reader behind the scenes of these fi rms, explaining their origins and synthesizing the overlapping stories of their creation, evolution, and ambitions into a narrative invaluable to anyone interested in understanding what they are and how they work as they prepare to go public for the fi rst time.

Blackstone, Carlyle, KKR, TPG, Bain, Apollo, and a handful of others are going public or already are and regulators and policymakers are now bearing down heavily on this once ignored sector of fi nance.

• Goes inside the private worlds of private equity founders Henry Kravis, Steve Schwarzman, David Bonderman, and more

• With numerous private equity fi rms going public for the fi rst time, informed readers need to know about how these fi rms operate, and this book is here to help

• Author Jason Kelly has been covering private equity for years and has forged unique relationships with fi rms that give him unparalleled insights

Dodson presents an on-the-ground survey and analysis of China’s renewable and clean energy sector, and features case studies comparing Chinese-only with Western and Indian services outsourcing companies based in China to help investors and business managers gauge the most appropriate business model for their China-based services.

Charity CaseHow the Nonprofi t Community Can Stand Up For Itself and Really Change the WorldDan Pallotta

Description: A blueprint for a national leadership movement to transform the way the public thinks about giving. Virtually everything our society has been taught about charity is backwards. We deny the social sector the ability to grow because of our short-sighted demand that it send every short-term dollar into direct services. Yet if the sector cannot grow, it can never match the scale of our great social problems. In the face of this dilemma, the sector has remained silent, defenseless, and disorganized. In Charity Case, Pallotta proposes a visionary solution: a Charity Defense Council to re-educate the public and give charities the freedom they need to solve our most pressing social issues.

This is the compelling argument set forth in this timely new text, drawing on the most extensive ethnographic fi eldwork in American newsrooms since the 1970s.

David Ryfe argues that journalists are unable or unwilling to innovate for a variety of reasons: in part because habits are sticky and diffi cult to dislodge; in part because of their strategic calculation that the cost of change far exceeds its benefi t; and in part because basic defi nitions of what journalism is, and is for, anchor journalism to tradition even when journalists prefer to change. The result is that journalism is unraveling as an integrated social fi eld. Journalism may never again be a separate and separable activity from the broader practice of producing news. One thing is certain. Whatever happens next, it will have dramatic consequences for the role journalism plays in democratic society, and perhaps transform its basic meaning and purpose.

Can Journalism Survive? is essential and provocative reading for all concerned with the future of journalism and society.

Social & Cultural History

The Colour of Our MemoriesMichel Pastoureau

Description: What remains of the colours of our childhood? What are our memories of a blue rabbit, a red dress, a yellow bike? Were they really those colours? And later on, what colours do we associate with our student years, our fi rst loves, our adult life? How does colour leave its mark on memory? How does it stimulate memory? How does it transform it? Or, to reverse that question, how does colour become the victim of memory’s whims and lapses?

In an attempt to reply to these questions – and to many others – Michel Pastoureau presents us with a journal about colours that covers over half a century (1950-2010). Through personal memories, notes taken on the spot, uninhibited comments, scholarly digressions and the remarks of a professional historian, this book retraces the recent history of colours in France and Europe. Among the fi elds of observation that are covered or evoked are the vocabulary and data of language, fashion and clothing, everyday objects and practices, emblems and fl ags, sport, literature, painting, museums and the history of art.

This text – playful, poetic, nostalgic – records the life of both the author and his contemporaries. We live in a world increasingly bursting with colour, in which colour remains a focus for memory, a source of delight and, most of all, an invitation to dream.

The Promise of IsraelWhy Its Seemingly Greatest Weakness Is Actually Its Greatest StrengthDaniel Gordis

Description: Why Israel’s greatest weakness is its greatest strength, and what its supporters and enemies can learn from its success. In The Promise of Israel, Daniel Gordis points out that Israel has defi ed that conventional wisdom. It has provided its citizens infi nitely greater liberty and prosperity than anyone expected, faring far better than any other young nation. The book takes many of the most compelling arguments against Israel and turns them completely on their heads, undoing liberals with a more liberal argument and the religious with a more devout argument. It puts forth an idea that is as convincing as it is shocking—that Iran’s clerics and the Taliban should want to be more like Israel.

What’s the Matter with White People?Why We Long for a Golden Age That WasJoan Walsh

Description: How scapegoat politics is dividing America and bankrupting the middle class.The size and stability of the American middle class was once the envy of the world. But changes unleashed in the 1960s pitted Americans against one another politically in new and destructive ways—while economically, everyone fell behind except the wealthy. In All for None and None for All, MSNBC political analyst and popular Salon columnist Joan Walsh traces this deeply disturbing dynamic as it has played out over the last forty years, dividing the country, poisoning its politics, jeopardizing its future—and splitting her working class Irish Catholic family as well.

Dictionary of Intelligence and EspionageMark Phythian, University of Wolverhampton

Description: The Dictionary of Intelligence and Espionage offers an accessible guide to a subject that, in the post-9/11 world, is both more central to our lives than at any previous time and is also a growing area of academic enquiry.

A detailed Introduction provides an overview of the emergence, development and nature of Intelligence. This is followed by the Dictionary itself which comprises over 150 entries explaining key intelligence concepts and cases and provides an overview of the principle intelligence organisations.

Entries range from accountability and agent-running, through devil’s advocacy and extraordinary rendition, to surveillance and unmanned aerial vehicles. While the focus is contemporary, entries on key intelligence cases (ranging from the 9/11 Commission and Bay of Pigs invasion to UNSCOM and the Vietnam War), offer important historical context. Coverage of intelligence organisations is global, focusing not just on leading Western agencies, but also those in the developing world, often at the forefront of the ’war on terror’ and concerns relating to the security-civil liberties trade-off.

Each entry closes with suggestions for further reading, making this book an invaluable resource and research tool for students, academics, policy-makers and all those who seek a more informed understanding of a sphere of activity that is global and has the capacity to affect the lives of everyone.


Political Philosophy & Theory

India TodayEconomy, Politics and SocietyStuart Corbridge, Sidney Sussex College, Cambridge, John Harriss, London School of Economics and Politcial Science, Craig Jeffrey

Description: Twenty years ago India was still generally thought of as an archetypal developing country, home to the largest number of poor people of any country in the world, and beset by problems of low economic growth, casteism and violent religious confl ict. Now India is being feted as an economic power-house which might well become the second largest economy in the world before the middle of this century. Its democratic traditions, moreover, remain broadly intact.

How and why has this historic transformation come about? And what are its implications for the people of India, for Indian society and politics? These are the big questions addressed in this book by three scholars who have lived and researched in different parts of India during the period of this great transformation.

Each of the 13 chapters seeks to answer a particular question: When and why did India take off? How did a weak state promote audacious reform? Is government in India becoming more responsive (and to whom)? Does India have a civil society? Does caste still matter? Why is India threatened by a Maoist insurgency? In addressing these and other pressing questions, the authors take full account of vibrant new scholarship that has emerged over the past decade or so, both from Indian writers and India specialists, and from social scientists who have studied India in a comparative context.

India Today is a comprehensive and compelling text for students of South Asia, political economy, development and comparative politics as well as anyone interested in the future of the world’s largest democracy.

Teaching Naked shows how technology is most powerfully used outside the classroom, and when used effectively, can ensure that students arrive to class more prepared for meaningful interaction with faculty. JosÉ Bowen introduces a new way to think about learning and technology that prioritizes the benefi ts of the human dimension in education. Here he offers practical advice for faculty and administrators on how to engage students with new technology, while restructuring classes into more active learning environments.

Student Affairs & Development (Higher Education)

Generation on a TightropeA Portrait of Today’s College StudentArthur Levine, Diane R. Dean

Description: An understanding of today’s undergraduate college students is vital to the effectiveness of our nation’s colleges and universities. As Generation on a Tightrope clearly reveals, today’s students need a very different education than the undergraduates who came before them: an education for the 21st Century, which colleges and universities are so far ill-equipped to offer and which will require major changes of them to provide. Examining college student expectations, aspirations, academics, attitudes, values, beliefs, social life, and politics, this book paints an accurate portrait of today’s students. Timely and comprehensive, this volume offers educators, researchers, practitioners, policymakers, and employers guidance and a much-needed grasp of the forces shaping the experiences of current undergraduates.
