This collection offers the first up-to-date, book-length, academic study of Amazon. It is an indispensable tool for any researcher in the humanities and social sciences in the future looking to study not only Amazon, but also other capitalist platform systems, as well as the huge array of social, political, economic and cultural issues that they implicate. Amazon is too complex and multi-faceted a platform for any individual researcher to cover. Structuring the book as an edited collection allows the editors to incorporate a broad range of expertise, critical insight, and methodological depth adequate to the task of being the first comprehensive book to critically analyze Amazon as a technology platform.

Amazon is everywhere. In our mailboxes, in delivery vans clogging our streets, in an increasing portion of our air traffic, in our grocery stores, on our televisions, in our smart home devices, and in the infrastructure powering many of the websites we visit. Amazon’s tendrils touch the majority of online retail transactions in the United States and in many other countries. As Amazon changes the face of capitalist business, it is also changing global culture in multiple ways. This book brings together some of the most important analyses of Amazon’s pioneering business practices and how they intersect with and affect the components of everyday culture. Its contributors examine the political economy of Amazon’s platform, making the argument that it operates as an unregulated monopoly that is disruptive to the global economy and that its infrastructure and logistical operations increasingly alienate its workers and wreak many other social harms.Our contributors outline the practices of resistance that have been employed by organizers ranging from Amazon employees to artists to digital piecemeal laborers working on Amazon’s Mechanical Turk platform. They examine the broader cultural impact that Amazon has had, looking at things like Amazon Prime and the creation of unending consumption, the absorption of Whole Foods and its brand of ‘conscious capitalism,’ and the impact of Amazon Studios and Prime Video on everyday film and television viewing practices.This book examines the broader environmental impacts that Amazon is having on the world, looking at the slow violence it incurs, its underwhelming Climate Pledge, and the regional impacts that its business practices have. Lastly, this book gathers together some important artistic responses to Amazon for the first time in an appendix that offers readers insight into other ways in which critics of the company are making their voices heard and attempting to move broader audiences into solidarity against Amazon.

In Amazon: Managing Extraordinary Success in 5-D Value, Benjamin Wall offers structured insights into strategically managing value in the key relationships to customers, personnel, business partners, and investors in order to improve value management at any company. The extraordinary success of Amazon is due to market-leading strength in three “dimensions” of value: owning the mightiest supply chain to deliver fastest and cheapest the broadest range of products, enhancing what customers and business partners are doing when using the website / online ecosystem, and knowing how to implement the optimal terms and conditions in the after-sales customer experience. Wall takes a look at the unique managerial skill of Amazon and how each of these organizational areas operates externally and internally according to a separate business logic based on a dimension of value. In an original examination, Wall systematically evaluates Amazon by categorizing and connecting its external and internal success factors to dimensions of value. Each “score” on an external success factor is linked to an internal success factor in managing processes, organizational culture, and the business model, so that managers and leaders can enhance their own internal success factors and move towards the same successful external factors. Amazon looks to the future where the near-term promise of the company is evaluated to be in the development from online to omnichannel retail, including the sale of services, by reviving out of Amazon’s past the fourth dimension of value: feeling how to integrate value. The long-term potential of Amazon is set in the context of a sustainable future for retail, based on trends arising today in meaning across multiple communities, which is the emerging fifth dimension of value. Amazon is projected to operate in this value dimension again as a disruptor, and with Wall’s help, managers and leaders can reach for the same kind of success.

Congratulations on reaching a landmark birthday, Pacorus. And to celebrate the gods have sent you a present. As your friends gather at Dura to commemorate the man who is a Parthian legend, the immortals send a storm from the east to plunge the empire into fresh conflict. Do not be angry. They honour you and wish to see you doing what you do best, warlord, no matter how much blood is shed. As friends are lost and the peace he has fought so hard for crumbles before his eyes, a weary Pacorus is forced to lead his army once more into battle. But the new campaign is different from previous ones, as old enemies become new allies and the world and certainties he has known are turned upside down. Can he restore the man he has pledged his allegiance to, or will the powerful rebel alliance prove irresistible and create a dark chasm into which Parthia will be sucked? 'Amazon' is the ninth volume in the Parthian Chronicles and follows on from 'The Cursed Kingdom'.

Das germanische M dchen Velida ger t unmittelbar aus einer scheu lichen Ehe-H lle heraus unter die gef rchteten Berserker, welche sich - so der R mer Tacitus - nachts mit schwarz gef rbtem K rper - nackt - ber den Feind st rzen und schon aufgrund des Schreckens siegen: Velida berf llt so mit anderen Berserkern mordend eine r mische Patrouille, wird berw ltigt und zur Kreuzigung verurteilt, bevor sie der gn dige Kommandeur an eine Gladiatorenschule verkauft; und jetzt beginnt ihre zweite Karriere als gef rchtete K mpferin, die nach Siegen ber Frauen erneut gegen M nner zum Einsatz kommt, bis sich der junge Senator Leukippos in sie verliebt... Leukippos hat aber die Rechnung ohne Pankrates (seinen Studienkollegen) gemacht, jetzt Isispriester Roms, der ebenfalls der Gladiatorin verfallen ist, und es beginnt ein unterirdisches m rderisches Ringen dieser - oberfl chlich gesehen - aller-allerbesten Freunde... Den Showdown erlebt der Leser, erwartungsfroh neben Kaiser Commodus sitzend, im Kolosseum.
Amazon er verdens største nettbutikk og har gjort grunnleggeren Jeff Bezos til en av klodens rikeste menn. Firmaet dyrker en kultur preget av lagarbeid der de ansatte «jobber hardt, har det gøy og skaper historie». Logoen er en smilende munn. Men bak fasaden skjuler det seg en annen virkelighet. For selskapets suksess hviler på ødelagte rygger, harde arbeidsforhold, midlertidige stillinger, overvåkning og fagforeningsknusing. Med etablering i Sverige er nettgiganten også på vei inn i Norden. Er vi rustet for møtet? Den svenske journalisten Julia Lindblom tegner med Amazon. Bak fasaden opp et sjokkerende bilde av et brutalisert arbeidsliv. Boka har fått strålende kritikker i Sverige. I det nyskrevne etterordet kommenterer forfatteren også utviklingen i norsk arbeidsliv.

'No one has ever come out alive'Hal and Roger Hunt crash-land into the middle of a pioneering expedition to the unmapped regions of the greatest jungle on earth: the Amazon. And when their mission to explore the uncharted territory of the Pastaza River goes off course . . . it's the survival of the fittest.
Charles Wagley (1913-1991) was an American anthropologist specializing in rural Latin America. His principal focus was Brazil, where he is considered one of the founders of contemporary Brazilian Anthropology. He made major contributions to the concept of cultural areas for Latin America (including a typology of subcultures for the region) and to the notion that race was a cultural construct. He conducted extensive research in the Amazon among indigenous and peasant peoples. Out of the latter came his classic description of peasant life (e.g. rubber tappers) in the Amazon- Amazon Town. Co-authors Conrad Kottak and Richard Pace have revised and updated Charles Wagley's Amazon Town to coincide with Wagley's 100th birthday in late 2013. Revisions include a new foreword by Conrad Kottak, and a new preface and chapter by Richard Pace.
