Arieh Sharon and Modern Architecture in Israel: Building Social Pragmatism offers the first comprehensive survey of the work of Arieh Sharon and analyzes and discusses his designs and plans in relation to the emergence of the State of Israel.A graduate of the Bauhaus, Sharon worked for a few years at the office of Hannes Mayer before returning to Mandatory Palestine. There, he established his office which was occupied in its first years in planning kibbutzim and residential buildings in Tel Aviv. After the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948, Arieh Sharon became the director and chief architect of the National Planning Department, where he was asked to devise the young country’s first national masterplan. Known as the Sharon Plan, it was instrumental in shaping the development of the new nation. During the 1950s and 1960s, Sharon designed many of Israel’s institutions, including hospitals and buildings on university campuses. This book presents Sharon’s exceptionally wide range of work and examines his perception of architecture in both socialist and pragmatist terms. It also explores Sharon’s modernist approach to architecture and his subsequent shift to Brutalist architecture, when he partnered with Benjamin Idelson in the 1950s and when his son, Eldar Sharon, joined the office in 1964. Thus, the book contributes a missing chapter in the historiography of Israeli architecture in particular and of modern architecture overall.This book will be of interest to researchers in architecture, modern architecture, Israel studies, Middle Eastern studies and migration of knowledge.

Ever get that feeling that life is out to trip you up? Sharon Carter knows that feeling only too well. All she's doing is trying to make a living and pay her bills. She steps out of her comfort zone to attend a talk that her best friend Ronnie has recommended. It has the most unforeseen outcome and she embarks on a roller coaster journey from Stockport to Sri Lanka with the mysterious Swami, a hypnotic and charismatic man in a purple robe.
Greed is a plague of mankind. Whether it is an inherent or acquired condition makes no difference at all. What man or woman can say that he or she has never once been greedy? It makes many accountants into executives, and a lot of soldiers into emperors. It has its place in all walks of life and all strata of society - from politicos to playboys, from pimps to pushers. Is it greed that drives oil companies to exploit the consumer, or should Americans believe their one-minute, boob-tube messages that they must raise prices in order to survive the cost of finding more oil? Is it greed that makes a corporate executive blackmail his superior in the hopes of promotion, or is it ambition? Sharon Wilson has defined her greed as "wanting more than one's proper share". She is willing to do anything to get ahead in life - even if it means giving her body to any person who can help her advance. NASTY SHARON is the story of a woman who has enough but yearns for more. A story too typical of today's society.

Understanding Sharon Olds explores this Pulitzer Prize–winning poet’s major themes, characters, life, and career, including her often-controversial portrayals of family dysfunction, sexuality, and violence against women. In this first book dedicated entirely to the poetry of Sharon Olds, Russell Brickey examines how Olds approaches these difficult and complex topics with pathos and intimate, sometimes provocatively private, details through poetry that not all her critics appreciate.Olds has never shied away from difficult subject matter. Her first award-winning book, Satan Says, is a feminist exploration of gender politics and adolescent discovery. The Father comprises a book-length elegy about cancer. Stag’s Leap, Olds’s Pulitzer Prize–winning volume, is a surprisingly tender look at divorce in modern American culture. Extremely personal, her poems often deal with the victories and contradictions of being a woman in the United States during a time when the country is often involved in racial upheavals and military conflicts overseas. She investigates the victories and contradictions of being a wife and mother during the era of feminism, as one of our most honest, most overt poets of female sexuality and its relationship to family life and its place within the history of humanity.Brickey organizes each chapter around a theme or a persona within Olds’s cast of characters. These include poems dedicated to mothers, fathers, children, and the arc of history. Through his close readings, Brickey shows how and where Olds has expanded the tradition of confessional poetry (literature that deals with psychology, family, love, and sexuality), a term Olds disdains but nevertheless expanded into commentary about the human condition in all its paradoxes.
