The Strip. Home to some of the world's grandest, flashiest, and most lucrative casino resorts, Las Vegas, with its multitude of attractions, draws millions of tourists from around the world every year. But Sin City hasn't always been booming: modern Vegas exists largely thanks to the extraordinary vision, and remarkable hubris, of three competing business moguls: Kirk Kerkorian, Dr. Gary Loveman, and Steve Wynn. Having had personal access to all three tycoons, Binkley explains how their audacious efforts to reach the top-and to top one another-shaped the city as it stands. She takes us inside their grandest schemes, their riskiest deals, and the personalities that drove them to their greatest successes, and their most painful defeats. In this updated edition, she reveals the inside story of how Steve Wynn, the winner who took all, ultimately lost everything-twice. Sharp, insightful, and revealing, Winner Takes All is the gripping story of how billions of dollars and the unparalleled drive for power turned dreams into larger-than-life reality.

Rebel Takes: On the Future of Food

Catherine Joy White

John Murray Press
2024
nidottu
What does it mean when a food-rich society has thousands going hungry? How do food and politics intersect? How can our food habits reconnect us with nature? From family dinners to solo lunches, chain supermarkets to local greengrocers, a measure of wealth to a tactic of civil rights movements, how and what we eat has shaped our relationship with one another and with our environment. But how can we use the cultural, social, personal and political power of food to make a change in the world? Catherine Joy White unpacks the rich and expansive legacy that informs our treatment of food on a global scale and uses it to create a roadmap for the future. White deftly tackles issues such as food poverty and its intersections with identity, misconceptions of disordered eating, nationwide movements such as Marcus Rashford's campaign to feed the children of Britain, as well as innovative new ways of growing, consuming and sharing food in response to the climate crisis.What we eat matters, and On the Future of Food is a deeply thoughtful, joyfully optimistic call to imagine and demand better - for ourselves and for future generations.Rebel Takes is a series that asks its writers to hope. Exploring the past and present of foundational apsects of society, each instalment will envision an alternative future, charge history with radical possibility and set out to answer the question: how can we make change happen?***Previous praise for Catherine Joy White:'An extraordinary writer, the kind who turns non-fiction into poetry ' Afua Hirsch'A much needed voice in our current cultural landscape' Ione Gamble'To be held by [White's] words is an absolute pleasure' Ruby Rare

It Takes A Full-Time Parent

Paul Kevin Wood

Lulu.com
2018
pokkari
This is a very dangerous, even subversive, book by today's standards. We will dare to discuss the Bill of Rights, The Ten Commandments, the parables of Jesus, the language in the letters of the Apostle Paul in the King James Version of the Holy Bible, and the genius of Western Civilization and, in particular, the hard-fought liberty and respect for the individual it provides. To anyone with a public school education, ideas such as the thought that all citizens have equal but not superior rights, even if they are from an "aggrieved" group, men should be required to be polite to women, that God requires us to manage our money wisely, in order to build wealth, or that children come before "career," will seem revolutionary. So here is my first piece of advice to my daughters, which informs this entire book: don't ""lean in." Ignore the advice of those who put lifestyle and prestige first and urge you to focus most of what you have to offer the world in terms of the pursuit of money.

JUSTICE TAKES A LONG, LONG BREAK

Koffi Noameshie

JUSTICE TAKES A LONG, LONG BREAK, is a work of fiction. It involves the investigation of the disappearance of a two-year-old girl, called Caroline, which began some forty years ago, almost ended without any trace. Not even the investigation on the mysterious death of her father, Dohan Kovich earlier on had begun, an event which appeared even irrelevant to investigate. The once glamorous and much respected Rosegarden Clan which was the safe haven for Mr. Kovich, the wealthy diamond businessman, embarked on a futile and self-conceited journey which ended woefully and thereby eroded the unparalleled reverence it had enjoyed in Diamond City for decades. That situation exposed the vices that lurked within its core principle of beneficence under the shadow of the Retired General Geoffrey Rosegarden. For many years, the engine of the investigation seemed to have stalled - lacking the vital fuel necessary to maintain the momentum in the search for Caroline.

WW Norton Co
2005

In the years since the perennially popular In Short and In Brief were published, readers have come to delight in the deft focus of the succinct piece we now call The Short. Extending this trend, Short Takes presents over seventy-five writers whose range and style demonstrate the myriad ways we humans have of telling our truths. Themes develop and speak to or collide with one another: musings about parents, childhood, sports, weather, war, solitude, nature, loss and, of course, love. The stellar roster of contributors includes well-known writers Verlyn Klinkenborg, Jo Ann Beard, David Sedaris, Dorothy Allison, Salman Rushdie, and Terry Tempest Williams along with Michael Perry, Mark Spragg, Jane Brox, and others whose literary stars are clearly rising. Each short whether a few paragraphs or reaching 2,000 words, and reflecting almost every way nonfiction can be written invites us to experience the power of the small to move, persuade, and change us."

Consumption Takes Time

Consumption Takes Time

Ian Steedman

Routledge
2001
sidottu
Standard economic theory of consumer behaviour considers consumers' preferences, their incomes and commodity prices to be the determinants of consumption. However, consumption takes time and no consumer has more - or less - than 168 hours per week. This simple fact is almost invisible in standard theory, and takes the centre stage in this book. Whether one is 'money-rich but time-poor' or is 'money-poor and killing time', both money and time considerations matter. Recognition that consumers are subject to both time and expenditure constraints makes a real difference to the economic theory of consumption. 'Two-constraint' theory is genuinely different in various respects from the familiar one-constraint theory. Income effects, substitution effects etc. have to be reconsidered, expenditure functions have to be redefined, and the results are sometimes surprising. It is not only the positive theory of consumption and labour supply that must be reworked, welfare economics too changes significantly when time constraints on consumption are given their proper due. The focus on time not only changes the comparative states of consumer theory, but it also overcomes some of the more artificial barriers between social theory and practical, everyday matters of altruism and interpersonal decision taking.

Pretty Takes Practice: A Southern Woman's Search for the Real Meaning of Beauty

Charla Muller

BERKLEY BOOKS
2014
nidottu
Charla Muller's first book, 365 Nights, was called "entertaining" (Albuquerque Journal), "surprising and] remarkable" (The Independent London]). It also launched her into the public eye--and brought her to a moment of painful realization . . . For an average working mom like Charla, going on a book tour was both intimidating and exciting. It also turned out to be horrifying: When she saw herself on a screen in glorious, unforgiving HD, it magnified all her flaws, prompted comments from unadoring fans, and forced her to reevluate her (lack of) exercise regimen. But Charla was jolted into action and used that cringe-inducing close-up as a wakeup call. After shedding a few tears over how she'd let herself go (and over the five-year-old discount sweater she wore on Oprah), she set out on a strange, hilarious, and poignant journey that tapped into and tested her values, her beliefs about beauty, her self-image, and, of course, her relationship with her mother. In this lively, funny, moving account, a Southern woman shares stories she swore she'd never tell--and ultimately offers some unexpected and universal insight about how pretty takes practice.
