What's Left?

What's Left?

Nick Cohen

HarperPerennial
2007
nidottu
From the much-loved, witty and excoriating voice of journalist Nick Cohen, a powerful and irreverent dissection of the agonies, idiocies and compromises of mainstream liberal thought. Nick Cohen comes from the Left. While growing up, his mother would search the supermarket shelves for politically reputable citrus fruit and despair. When, at the age of 13, he found out that his kind and thoughtful English teacher voted Conservative, he nearly fell off his chair: 'To be good, you had to be on the Left.' Today he's no less confused. When he looks around him, in the aftermath of the invasion of Iraq, he sees a community of Left-leaning liberals standing on their heads. Why is it that apologies for a militant Islam that stands for everything the liberal-Left is against come from a section of the Left? After the American and British wars in Bosnia and Kosovo against Slobodan Milosevic's ethnic cleansers, why were men and women of the Left denying the existence of Serb concentration camps? Why is Palestine a cause for the liberal-Left, but not, for instance, China, the Sudan, Zimbabwe or North Korea? Why can't those who say they support the Palestinian cause tell you what type of Palestine they would like to see? After the 9/11 attacks on New York and Washington why were you as likely to read that a sinister conspiracy of Jews controlled American or British foreign policy in a liberal literary journal as in a neo-Nazi rag? It's easy to know what the Left is fighting against – the evils of Bush and corporations – but what and, more to the point, who are they fighting for? As he tours the follies of the Left, Nick Cohen asks us to reconsider what it means to be liberal in this confused and topsy-turvy time. With the angry satire of Swift, he reclaims the values of democracy and solidarity that united the movement against fascism, and asks: What's Left?
Cruel Britannia

Cruel Britannia

Verso Books

While the rest of the media lounge in the warm glow of New Labour's rosy dawn, one journalist in Britain has been a consistently sharp and witty scourge of Tony Blair and his bandwagon babes. Step forward Nick Cohen, denizen of the Observer newspaper's celebrated 'Hold on a Minute' column and a writer who has regularly identified Labour's Third Way as the mid-point between truth and lies, decency and hypocrisy, honesty and corruption. Whether he is tearing into Labour's plans to privatize the prison system and introduce curfews for teenagers, or detailing the government's cozying up to Rupert Murdoch and the hot money traders in the City, Cohen maintains a peerless grasp on the power that flows from fusing invective with scrupulous investigation. Even Downing Street Policy Advisor Andrew Adonis was forced to concede that 'no one is better at getting under the Government's skin'. A coruscating barrage of dispatches from his sniper's post, Cruel Britannia celebrates Cohen's lonely stand. It will revivify the disillusioned who anticipated something better from Labour's ascent and fortify those on the left who expected little and received precisely that.

Greedy corporate interests have been lying to us for centuries. Here’s an illustrated, entertaining road map for navigating through their hypocrisy and deceptionFrom praising the health benefits of cigarettes to moralizing on the character-building qualities of child labor, rich corporate overlords have gone to astonishing, often morally indefensible lengths to defend their profits. Since the dawn of capitalism, they’ve told the same lies over and over to explain why their bottom line is always more important than the greater good: You say you want to raise the federal minimum wage? Why, you’ll only make things worse for the very people you want to help! Should we hold polluters accountable for the toxins they’re dumping in our air and water? No, the free market will save us! Can we raise taxes on the rich to pay for universal healthcare? Of course not—that will kill jobs! Affordable childcare? Socialism! It’s always the same tired threats and finger-pointing, in a concentrated campaign to keep wealth and power in the hands of the wealthy and powerful. Corporate Bullsh*t will help you identify this pernicious propaganda for the wealthiest 1 percent, and teach you how to fight back. Structured around some of the most egregious statements ever made by the rich and powerful, the book identifies six categories of falsehoods that repeatedly thwart progress on issues including civil rights, wealth inequality, climate change, voting rights, gun responsibility, and more. With amazing illustrations and a sharp sense of humor, Corporate Bullsh*t teaches readers how to never get conned, bamboozled, or ripped off ever again.

Strategies for gathering and harnessing knowledge have existed in law firms for decades. However, knowledge management suddenly found itself in the spotlight as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Enforced remote working reduced opportunities for knowledge sharing between colleagues and this gap was filled with knowledge databases and experienced knowledge lawyers. Now that hybrid and virtual workforces are here to stay, these new working practices have combined with technological developments, enhanced demand, and the transformation of how to access knowledge to drive the advancement of knowledge management into a new era. Knowledge Management in Law Firms: Challenges and Opportunities Post-Pandemic is the essential guide to the evolution of law firm knowledge management. It covers how to revisit your strategy in light of recent and future changes, the expansion of knowledge management to encompass legal tech and innovation, the rise of the importance of data, strategies for overcoming the challenges hybrid and virtual working pose to knowledge management, managing knowledge teams, and much more. Chapters are written by an international group of KM experts from a range of organisations and leading law firms, including DLA Piper, Linklaters, and Dentons. Pandemic experiences and lessons learnt are shared as well as ways to approach the future. Knowledge is at the heart of the legal profession, and this book provides guidance on how to prepare for and thrive in the knowledge management practices of the future, overcoming the obstacles and embracing the opportunities that have arisen from or been accelerated by the pandemic. Through demonstrating how effective knowledge management can help firms exceed client expectations, differentiate themselves in the competitive market, and, ultimately, improve their bottom line, this title will be of interest to knowledge management professionals including professional support lawyers, law firm leaders, partners and fee earners, and, outside of law firms, in-house lawyers and consultants.
Rx for Hope

Rx for Hope

In our current era of rapidly developing cancer drugs and therapies, we also see improvement of cancer treatment outcomes stagnating when it comes to determining quality of life or long-term survival. This is because while new treatments are making small incremental progress in outcomes, most cancer patients still depend on conventional methods that are both toxic and ineffective. While new cancer drugs are becoming more precise or targeted, less attention is being paid to the overall health and wellbeing of the patient, which we propose is essential for long-term cancer control and improving a patient’s quality of life. Rx for Hope, backed by rigorous science and real-life patient cases, calls for an urgent reevaluation of the current conventional approach to cancer treatments and encourages a progressive treatment model combining metronomic low-dose chemotherapy with complementary integrative medicine. Along with new, breakthrough immunotherapy drugs, these treatments can potentially create a response powerful enough to not only eradicate the presence of cancer but also to prevent it from returning. Because every 23 seconds someone in America is diagnosed with cancer, the number of people affected is growing rapidly. The American Cancer Society estimates that nearly two million new patients will need treatment in the coming year. Judging by current trends and methods of treatment, far too many of these people will be treated without the benefits of low-dose chemotherapy, and even less will enjoy the positive impact of immune-supportive complementary integrative medicine. Rx for Hope offers insight into a powerful way of treating cancer that patients and doctors can implement immediately for optimal results.

A critically acclaimed novelist pulls Nick Carraway out of the shadows and into the spotlight in this "masterful" look into his life before Gatsby (Richard Russo, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Empire Falls and Chances Are).Before Nick Carraway moved to West Egg and into Gatsby's periphery, he was at the center of a very different story-one taking place along the trenches and deep within the tunnels of World War I. Floundering in the wake of the destruction he witnessed firsthand, Nick delays his return home, hoping to escape the questions he cannot answer about the horrors of war. Instead, he embarks on a transcontinental redemptive journey that takes him from a whirlwind Paris romance-doomed from the very beginning-to the dizzying frenzy of New Orleans, rife with its own flavor of debauchery and violence. An epic portrait of a truly singular era and a sweeping, romantic story of self-discovery, this rich and imaginative novel breathes new life into a character that many know but few have pondered deeply. Charged with enough alcohol, heartbreak, and profound yearning to paralyze even the heartiest of golden age scribes, Nick reveals the man behind the narrator who has captivated readers for decades.

What happens when you plunge an historical figure, the real Saint Nicholas, into the modern world? Not the red-suited, toy-making Saint Nicholas of American legend, but a man who exemplifies the spirit of giving; who gives from the heart and who knows what people need-not what they want. You get Nick, not really a man, but the immortal spirit of giving, who gets the reader to examine the spiritual side of life in a modern way but without a hint of religious dogma. Nick deals with adolescence, family, racial, and social issues and makes a positive difference in every life that he touches as he helps them to cope with seemingly insurmountable problems: Nick, a seemingly enigmatic old man, walks quietly into the lives of twelve very different people and is deprecated with prejudice, apprehension, and disdain about his strange appearance; during the holiday season that initial perception changes to love and respect as he helps orchestrate profound changes in each of their futures through miraculous gifts. Meet the twelve deserving people from all walks of life-all ages, all cultures, and socio-economic backgrounds-as they each struggle with something in their lives that holds them back from achieving their full potential as human beings. Nick is a proponent of the idea of giving oneself for the greater good. Nick helps a teenager in abject poverty trying to cope with the loss of her brother, an African-American mother and her illegitimate daughter enduring prejudice and the racist responsible for their plight, the unorthodox rescue of a sixteen-year-old girl from a sexual predator, a Hispanic couple split apart by the husband's compulsive obsession to put a drug dealer behind bars, a seventeen-year-old gravitating towards the wrong circle of friends, politics replete with graft, a mother coping with the possible loss of her twelve-year-old boy, who is suffering the agony of cancer treatments and life in an oncology unit, and a host of other problems facing both adults and teens that ominously threaten his goals. Each of the twelve days of Christmas will focus on a miraculous gift as the lives of twelve different people become woven together through a common thread that will change them forever. Can 4th century ideals match up to 21st century reality, and can modern man deal with the concept of the afterlife vis vis the paranormal? Parents can buy their children gifts; Nick is the spirit of giving of oneself, requiring no price-tags, and that inimitable spirit sees none of the boundaries that separate humans from each other-socio-economic standing, race, age, sex, religion.

Nick: Brothers in Blue Series (Book 1) Romance, Lust, Suspense, and Uncensored Scenes Darcy Campbell was a laid-off Chicago music teacher who took a job playing at a piano bar out of desperation. She'd had a run of bad luck and was already having another bad day...but it turned disastrous when she was the only witness to a mass murder. She watched in horror as her boss, his son, and other employees were gunned down before her eyes. The police promised to protect her identity if she testified against the monsters that had committed the massacre. But her name somehow was discovered and threats immediately fired in her direction. Detective Nick Baker promised to protect her and when things got hot he hid her away in his cabin in the backwoods of Wisconsin. Darcy wasn't sure what the bigger danger was - the killer hunting her or falling in love with the man who vowed to protect her. She couldn't love a police officer. She refused to love a police officer. It was nearly impossible to resist him, though, with his intense silver eyes and brawny body. He was like a drug, addictive and sinfully potent. Somehow she needed to protect her heart from him while he protected her from the deranged killers. Was she brave enough to confront both dangers? Nick is book 1 in the steamy Brothers in Blue Series WARNING - These stories contain steamy scenes and are not suitable for all ages. 18+
