you can't look like you're ready for the red carpet and fawning paparazzi. In Effortless Style, June Ambrose, the celebrity fashion stylist and designer who's shaped the looks of some of the biggest names in entertainment -- including Jay-Z, Missy Elliott, Kelly Ripa, and Mariah Carey -- reveals the industry secrets that can help anyone exude genuine star power, regardless of body type or budget. The key to looking and feeling like a celebrity lies in defining your own unique style and adapting it to each situation. The result is a look as natural as a second skin. In clear step-by-step instructions, Ambrose shows how people can improve the way they present themselves to the world, whether it's for a first date or an important meeting, and in turn boost their overall mood and self-confidence. Using examples from her work molding celebrities' images, she teaches women (and their men) how to define and enhance their look, with chapters devoted to topics such as knowing what clothes work for each body type, how to accessorize like a star, the importance of tailoring clothes so that an off-the-rack suit fits like a custom-made Armani, and much more. She offers tricks of the trade -- from choosing the perfect lingerie to handling bad hair days -- and provides a welcome list of wardrobe essentials and perennial fashion don'ts. With this must-have style guide every woman, whether girl next door or top executive, will be able to unleash her inner VIP -- effortlessly.By Joel D. Block, Kimberly Dawn Neumann. 2009

In Vibe, bestselling author Robyn Openshaw reveals the difference between low vibration emotions (fear, anger, inertia) and high vibration emotions…
(love, inner peace, gratitude) and helps you dramatically impact your physical and mental well-being by raising your vibrational frequencies.The great Austrian scientist Nikola Tesla is a household name among today&’s scientific community, known for his finding that all matter has vibrational energy, or electrical frequency, and that we are all electrical beings, made up of rapidly vibrating cells.Most of us are vaguely familiar with this concept, but we don&’t realize the powerful implications this has for our choices every day—which foods to eat, how much water to drink, what we think about when we&’re in the car or the shower, what our risk of disease is, and how we feel at any given moment are all affected by the power of vibration.Everything in health and wellness should revolve around the basic concept that what we choose to eat and what we choose to do lowers or raises our vibration. And that makes all the difference.Vibe explores the foods, natural substances, and lifestyle practices that can raise our vibrations. Robyn Openshaw reveals evidence that shows how drinking green juice, using certain essential oils, and engaging in yoga and meditation raises the frequency of the human brain and other organs. Living in a &“high vibe&” state can make us resilient to illness, fatigue, burnout, and depression. Readers will learn all about the low vibration emotions (fear, anger, inertia) and the high vibration emotions (love, peace, gratitude) and how to achieve higher vibrations in everyday living. Openshaw explores how the smallest changes in our life—from what we eat to how we think—can radically improve our mood, overall health, and quality of life.By Mary Beth Knight. 2010

Wenn Sie die Zukunft der wirtschaftlichen und gesellschaftlichen Entwicklung angesichts der Digitalisierung verstehen wollen, ist dieses Buch genau die richtige…
Lektüre für Sie! Mathias Binswanger diskutiert in seinem neuen Buch die Digitalisierung in Zusammenhang mit der Funktionsweise der kapitalistischen Wirtschaft. Es eröffnet so einen anderen Zugang zur Thematik der Digitalisierung, der erstmals aufzeigt, warum diese die Wirtschaft zunehmend vom Menschen abkoppelt, die Produktivität in der Produktion weiter steigert, gleichzeitig aber zu immer mehr Bürokratie führt und dadurch weiterhin Vollbeschäftigung garantiert. Damit verbunden ist immer mehr Bequemlichkeit, aber auch immer mehr Überwachung und Kontrolle der Menschen und ein erhöhter Zwang zu konformem Verhalten. Der Autor befasst sich mit grundlegenden Fragen, wie: Wollen wir eine solche Entwicklung tatsächlich? Ist es klug, sich von bestimmten digitalen Lösungen, Systemen oder Prozessen abhängig zu machen, die wir gar nicht mehr durchschauen? Und wie können wir gegensteuern? Die Antwort lautet: Wir müssen analoge Systeme und Prozesse erhalten, damit Wirtschaft und Gesellschaft resilient bleiben. Es muss weiterhin möglich sein, mit Bargeld zu bezahlen, in selbstgesteuerten Fahrzeugen ohne Überwachungselektronik zu fahren, in nicht smarten Häusern zu leben, oder auf die Verwendung von Gesundheitsapps zu verzichten. Die Aufrechterhaltung solcher analogen Lösungen ist aber gegen die Logik des Systems. Denn jeder nicht systemkonforme Akt stört die digitalen Optimierungsprozesse. Das wird in nicht allzu ferner Zukunft für erhebliche Konflikte sorgen.By Carl Cavanagh Hodge, Andrew David Irvine. 2024
Rarely in the short history of liberal-democratic government has a primer on basic liberal-democratic values and institutions been more needed…
than now. Popular discontent, even anger, with democratic governments has grown steadily over the past twenty years. Not since the 1930s have citizens and their elected officials been so baffled about their respective roles in the maintenance of both democratic governments and liberal economies. This book attempts to address this growing need. Especially written as a primer for courses in Philosophy, Politics and Economics (PPE), it has introductory chapters on all three main disciplines. It also has chapters on the rule of law and on three important public-policy areas – Corruption, Climate and Civil Society. Individual topics discussed include free and fair elections, populism, responsible government, republican and Westminster systems of government, regulated free markets, the Great Recession of 2008, globalization, greenwashing, identity politics, academic freedom, utilitarianism, social contract theory, positive and negative liberty, and the good life.Historically informed, The Ethics and Economics of Liberal Democracies: Foundations for PPE is sure to be of interest to students who are interested in public-policy work, as well as those who are interested in both the theory and practice of democratic government.Key Features: Written especially for PPE (Philosophy, Politics and Economics) courses and students Focuses on the key values and institutions of modern democracies Includes chapters on both the theory and practice of democratic government and public-policy work Provides a comprehensive glossary of relevant terms from all three disciplinesBy Megan Searfoss. 2014

and inspires readers to live, learn, and love well&“Emma&’s spirit and spark are contagious . . . a great reminder that feeling whole, healthy, and balanced takes work but is always worth the effort.&”—Joanna Gaines, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Magnolia TableEmma Lovewell is a star instructor at Peloton, a global fitness brand and media content company, but her journey to success began with a simple realization: Change is inevitable, but growth is optional. She chose to grow. In Live Learn Love Well, she shares the moments in her life that shaped her into the woman she is today―from growing up in a modest home amidst the affluence of Martha&’s Vineyard, to struggling with her biracial identity and fitting in, both in the white community and the Asian American community, to health setbacks and relationship challenges, to moving to New York and striving for a career in dance and fitness.Just as Lovewell is more than a fitness instructor, she&’s learned that wellness is more than merely a physical condition.

We are witnessing a new surge of interpersonal and institutional violence against women, including new witch hunts, which have occurred…
alongside an expansion of capitalist social relations. In this new work Silvia Federici revisits some of the main themes of Caliban and the Witch, examining the root causes of these developments and outlining the consequences for the women affected and their communities. No less than the witch hunts in sixteenth-and seventeenth-century Europe and the “New World,” this new war on women is a structural element of the new forms of capitalist accumulation founded on the destruction of people’s most basic means of reproduction.We live in a culture of choice. But, in an age of corporate dominance, our freedom to choose has taken…
on new meaning. Upset with your local big box store? Object to unfair hiring practices at your neighbourhood fast food restaurant? Want to protest the opening of that new multinational coffeeshop? Vote with your feet! What if it’s not that simple? In No One Makes You Shop at Wal-Mart, Tom Slee unpacks the implications of our fervent belief in the power of choice. Pointing out that individual choice has become the lynchpin of a neoconservative corporate ideology he calls MarketThink, he urges us to re-examine our assumptions. Slee makes use of game theory to argue that individual choice is not inherently bad. Nor is it the societal fix-all that our corporations and governments claim it is. A spirited treatise, this book will make you think about choice in a whole new way.By Stanley L. Engerman, Jacob Metzer. 2004

Lastly, using the empirical research method, the author reports the burden experienced by the residents of a community without banks in accessing finance. Included in this discussion are the barriers to finance as well as the coping strategies adopted by the community residents to access formal and informal finance.
