This is a critical study of Friel's entire oeuvre, relating Friel's work to the problems of subjectivity, representation, history and the body, with a view to offering some placement of Friel in relation to both postmodernism and traditional humanism. Central to this study is Friel's concept of 'translation', whereby he offers us the tension of shaping the new through a 'translation' or reformulation of the old.
The incredible rags-to-riches story of acclaimed actor Brian Cox, best known as Succession's Logan Roy, from a troubled, working-class upbringing in Scotland to a prolific career across theatre, film and television.From Hannibal Lecter in Manhunter to media magnate Logan Roy in HBO's Succession, Brian Cox has made his name as an actor of unparalleled distinction and versatility. We are familiar with him on screen, but few know of his extraordinary life story. Growing up in Dundee, Scotland, Cox lost his father when he was just eight years old and was brought up by his three elder sisters in the aftermath of his mother's nervous breakdowns and ultimate hospitalization. After joining the Dundee Repertory Theatre at the age of fifteen, you could say the rest is history -- but that is to overlook the enormous effort that has gone into the making of the legend we know today.Rich in emotion and meaning, with plenty of laughs along the way, this seminal autobiography captures both Cox's distinctive voice and his very soul.

This 2001 book is a comprehensive study of the ethics of G. E. Moore, the most important English-speaking ethicist of the twentieth century. Moore's ethical project, set out in his seminal text Principia Ethica, is to preserve common moral insight from scepticism and, in effect, persuade his readers to accept the objective character of goodness. Brian Hutchinson explores Moore's arguments in detail and in the process relates the ethical thought to Moore's anti-sceptical epistemology. Moore was, without perhaps fully realizing it, sceptical about the very enterprise of philosophy itself, and in this regard, as Brian Hutchinson reveals, was much closer in his thinking to Wittgenstein than has been previously realized. This book shows Moore's ethical work to be much richer and more sophisticated than his critics have acknowledged.

Airbus ha fatto alcuni titoli sgraditi negli ultimi mesi. Questa iconica societ europea ha attraversato un periodo turbolento a causa dei problemi che circondano il progetto Airbus A380. Era un prodotto di punta che doveva ritagliare un vantaggio competitivo inattaccabile per Airbus. Ma non andata molto bene. L'aereo Airbus A380 era un concetto innovativo che doveva spingere EADS in un segmento di mercato unico. Invece, ha minacciato l'esistenza stessa dell'azienda ed servito da catalizzatore per una grande operazione e una riorganizzazione della societ , a partire dal top management fino ai piani di produzione.

Fra il 1976 ed il 1994 la Commodore ebbe un successo sbalorditivo nel nascente mercato dei personal computer. Fu la prima grande azienda ad esporre un personal computer, perfino prima della Apple e della Radio Shack. Vendette un milione di computer prima di chiunque altro. Nessun singolo computer ha venduto piu' del Commodore 64. Il primo vero computer multimediale, l'Amiga, venne dalla Commodore. Tuttavia, pur con tutte queste pietre miliari, alla Commodore non viene attribuito quasi alcun merito come pioniera. Mentre la Apple e la IBM praticavano prezzi esorbitanti, la Commodore fu in grado di raggiungere le masse con computer a buon mercato pur restando redditizia. Il Commodore 64 lascio' un percorso di distruzione attraverso l'industria dei primi tempi, buttando fuori dal mercato dei computer la Tandy, la Texas Instruments, la Sinclair e la Atari e facendo molto male alla Apple e perfino alla IBM. Tuttavia la Commodore e' sempre stata sull'orlo del successo accecante o del fallimento spaventoso.
