Ronald ReaganWhether you liked him or not, you have to admit that Ronald Reagan lived his life with class. He was-after all-a classically trained actor, and his actions were usually extraordinarily smooth in their composition. This smoothness with which he handled his interpersonal relations garnered him the nickname, "The Great Communicator". But many in the past 30 years since the Reagan Presidency and the decade since his death in 2004 have found themselves asking the question, "Just how much of Reagan's act-was an act?" When Reagan frightened the Soviets into submission by getting on television and claiming that the United States was about to unleash a Hollywood styled, strategic defence initiative of high tech laser weapons floating in space known euphemistically as "Star Wars" they believed it. Inside you will read about...✓ A Life Worth Saving ✓ Goodbye Hollywood ✓ The Road to Conservatism ✓ The Revolution Begins ✓ Honey I Forgot to Duck ✓ The Great Communicator ✓ Reagan's Last Word And much more Much later it would be learned that Star Wars was just as fictional as its Sci Fi namesake, Reagan was citing speculative theory as if it were scientific fact. But the greater mystery is; did Ronald Reagan know that? Was it a supreme bluff, was just it the Poker Face he held up to the Soviets? Or was Reagan-as some have claimed-so in the thralls of his latent Alzheimer's that he had come to believe the very fictional role he was playing? Whatever it was it worked. In what some have hailed as the greatest political stunt of all time, the Soviet Union determined that with it's faltering economy there was no way it could compete with the United States new orbiting laser platform-the same laser platform that only existed in Reagan's mind-and quickly sought peace with the west, arms reduction, and reform at home as a means of survival. These measures would eventually lead to the end of the Cold War itself. An amazing achievement, in a relatively short period of time, but the question remains; did Ronald Reagan really know what he was doing?

New details of the remarkable relationship between two leaders who teamed up to change history. It's well known that Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher were close allies and kindred political spirits. During their eight overlapping years as U.S. president and UK prime minister, they stood united for free markets, low taxes, and a strong defense against communism. But just how close they really were will surprise you. Nicholas Wapshott finds that the Reagan-Thatcher relationship was much deeper than an alliance of mutual interests. Drawing on extensive interviews and hundreds of recently declassified private letters and telephone calls, he depicts a more complex, intimate, and occasionally combative relationship than has previously been revealed.
“Art has a lot to answer for.” So says Sarah Bernhardt in Ronald Harwood’s play After the Lions. Harwood’s own career can be summarized by that same quote as well.Ronald Harwood’s Tragic Vision offers the first critical analysis of prolific and award-winning British author Ronald Harwood (1934–2020). Though he received an Oscar for The Pianist, a knighthood, and numerous other awards and nominations, Harwood worked as a ghostwriter, script doctor, and veritable unknown for many years. As he became successful, many critics still misread his works and positioned him as a less-fashionable counterpart to his lifelong friend Harold Pinter. This study proposes a conceptual framework to approach his, and others’, work based on the genre of tragedy, offering a greater appreciation for and understanding of the Harwood canon.

Ronald Rolheiser, a Catholic priest and theologian, is one of the most popular and influential spiritual writers today. Through such bestselling books as The Holy Longing and Sacred Fire, as well as his syndicated column, "In Exile," he has shown an ability to outline a healthy Christian spirituality that relates to the deep desires, anxieties, and hopes of ordinary people living in the world. This collection of his essential writings, which draws in large part on his columns, first outlines the "holy longing" that underlies all spirituality. He then outlines the elements of a "generative," or fruitful spiritual life, including prayer, suffering and death, love and justice, faith and doubt.
Coming from humble origins in Illinois, Ronald Reagan always carried an optimism that life would get better, and with his education from small Eureka College, he moved on to become a radio announcer in Iowa and an actor for Warner Brothers in Hollywood. As World War II ended, his political consciousness grew to the point that he appreciated a palpable Communist influence in Hollywood an influence he fought as president of the Screen Actors Guild. He became a Republican turned off by large government programs and high tax rates that stifled personal initiative, and a televised 1964 speech in support of Senator Barry Goldwater's presidential campaign put him on the political map. After his acting career moved from motion pictures to television, he decided at his friends' urging to run for governor of California in 1966. He won and served two terms as a successful governor, cutting government waste and abuse of the welfare rolls while protecting law and order and the environment. After the great trials of the nation with Watergate and the Vietnam War, Reagan challenged fellow Republicans for president in 1976 unsuccessfully, but he learned a lot. Following the economic decline of the late 1970s, the nation was ready for Reagan as president in the 1980 election. He won wide success and popularity over two terms even overcoming the Iran-Contra scandal -- by cutting taxes, trusting the people's ability to work hard and give to others in need, and by never backing down to the Soviet Union. He also dreamed of nuclear weapons' elimination; he at least managed the elimination of one class of weapons with the INF Treaty signed with Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev in 1987. The Cold War was effectively won with Reagan's presidency.
This book contains two early papers written by Ronald E. Day while he was a student at the University of California, Berkeley, during 1992-1993, which mark the beginnings of his deconstruction of the modern conception of information as the latest form of Western metaphysics. The themes in these two pieces run throughout his later works. The papers demonstrate the intersection of formalist poetics and information science, and the appearance of phenomenology and critical theory in information studies. The problematics that they analyze, that of the temporality of information systems and the phenomenological appearance and constitution as knowledge of natural entities, along with the intersection of politics and information studies, remain relevant today.Ronald E. Day is Professor of Information and Library Science at University of Indiana Bloomington. His research is in the philosophy, history, politics, and culture of information, documentation, knowledge, and communication in the 20th and into the 21st centuries in the U.S. and Western Europe and in the discipline of Library and Information Science. The approach he takes is that of Critical Information Studies/ Critical Informatics. In this approach I use rhetorical, conceptual, and historical analyses. Along with many articles and book chapters, he has written Indexing it All: The Subject in the Age of Documentation, Information, and Data (MIT Press, 2014) and The Modern Invention of Information: Discourse, History, and Power (Southern Illinois University Press, 2001). He co-translated into English and co-edited the mid-twentieth century French documentalist Suzanne Briet's book, What is Documentation? With Claire McInerney he co-edited the book Rethinking Knowledge Management: From Knowledge Objects to Knowledge Processes.
