Adams B: Thou Savage Woman / B

Thou Savage Woman

Female Killers in Early Modern Britain

This is the incredible untold story of four women who helped win World War II by generating a wave of black propaganda. Betty MacDonald was a 28-year-old reporter from Hawaii. Zuzka Lauwers grew up in a tiny Czechoslovakian village and knew five languages by the time she was 21. Jane Smith-Hutton was the wife of a naval attaché living in Tokyo. Marlene Dietrich, the German-American actress and singer, was one of the biggest stars of the 20th century. These four women, each fascinating in her own right, together contributed to one of the most covert and successful military campaigns in WWII. Members of the Office of Strategic Services, their task was to create a secret brand of propaganda produced with the sole aim to break the morale of Axis soldiers. Working in Europe, across enemy lines in occupied China and in Washington D.C., Betty, Zuzka, Jane and Marlene forged letters and 'official' military orders, wrote and produced entire newspapers, scripted radio broadcasts and songs and even developed rumours for undercover spies and double agents to spread to the enemy. And outside of a small group of spies, no one knew they existed. Until now.

Passionately Transforming Management

"What an interesting agenda for this meeting." "Sustainability is a priority for our company." "We care deeply about our customers." Let's face it: We all lie. Sometimes to save face, to get out of a scrape or to protect someone's feelings, and sometimes for more malicious reasons. Generally, however, we only expect people to lie under certain circumstances, and we expect our professional environments to be beacons of truthful and honest behaviour. Deceit, untruth and disinformation have become part and parcel of the everyday political agenda. World leaders and business magnates unabashedly lie and peddle misinformation, from climate change denialism to anti-vaccine propaganda. In Passionately Transforming Management with Lies, Professor Johan Alvehus recognizes that such things are not only going on at the grand political stage - instead arguing that the utility of lies, deception and manipulation can provide key lessons for anyone interested in leadership. The author delves into differing philosophical perspectives on the morality of lying, before examining the various ways in which falsehoods find their way into our modern workplaces. Ultimately, we must begin re-assessing our professional hierarchies with a new clarity by rejecting the notion of a leader as a morally superior concept automatically deserving of adulation. We need to recognize that lies and manipulation are fundamental elements of accomplishing things in organizations. Even before working life starts, its truthfulness is dubious - who doesn't polish their CV to give a better impression? Bypassing formal structures, ensuring certain people are left out of decision processes, spreading non-factual 'visions' and lying to keep one's position safe are all essential for the accomplished manager. Passionately Transforming Management with Lying provides students, scholars and managers with a concise and provocative guide to identifying, utilising and manipulating bullshit culture.

Passionately Transforming Management with Lies

It was the deadliest terrorist attack of the twentieth century, a bombing which shocked the world. But was the wrong person found guilty? December 21, 1988. All flights between London and New York are full, except for Pan Am 103, where almost half the seats are empty. Thirty-eight minutes after take-off, as the plane flies over the tiny Scottish village of Lockerbie, a bomb explodes in the hull. All 259 people aboard perish. The attack is not a surprise - American diplomats had been warned not to fly with Pan Am - but the flight goes ahead. Eleven years later, a Libyan national is convicted of orchestrating the attack, a judgement which has been increasingly questioned and scrutinized due to its political implications and the fact that no physical evidence was found to tie the man to the crime. In late 2022, journalist Jan Stocklassa is trawling through the late Stieg Larsson's archive of documents when he discovers that the world-famous crime author had been investigating the Lockerbie bombing prior to his death, and he picks up the trail. Who was really behind the terrorist attack? Was it just a coincidence that the flight was half-empty that day? And who stands to benefit the most from the truth being buried all these years? Full of intrigue, scandal and drama, The Man Who Fell From The Sky is a breathless rollercoaster which lifts the lid on a real-life international conspiracy, a deadly plot, and one man's relentless fight for the truth.

The CIA, Lockerbie and the Hunt for the Truth

The Man Who Fell From The Sky

How do today's celebrities have the enormous power and influence to be able to push products and change minds? The dizzying proliferation of platforms, channels, and content formats in today's digital world has fed a ravenous market for celebrity culture. Companies fork out billions each year to hire celebrities and influencers to endorse products, brands, political figures, and charitable causes--because the right celebrity endorsement is worth its weight in gold. In The Golden Pitch, Martha Laham reveals how celebrities leverage their fame to drive consumer choices and sway opinions, and how companies harness this star power to move products and engage audiences. Through a vivid array of historical and contemporary examples and stories, she delves into the history of celebrity, society's fascination with fame, the use of influencer endorsements, the rise of the microcelebrity, and the future of fame and celebrity in the digital age. This in-depth look at the persuasive power of celebrities and influencers uncovers the roots of celebrity worship and illustrates the significant role that the media has played in fueling today's celebrity culture. With a thoughtful consideration of the next stage in the evolution of celebrity and influence, The Golden Pitch also charts the future of fame and how it will influence brands, advertising, politics, and more in the years to come.

The Golden Pitch

Studies in Penal Theory and Ethics

This book explores the connections between punishment theory and punishment practice It shines a much-needed light on the relation between how punishment is experienced by those subjected to it (and others), and the more general consideration of what justifies punishment in the first place. Leading experts in the field weigh up what is appropriate punishment - both in quantitative and in non-quantitative ways. It explains why punishment is so difficult to justify, looks at the compatibility of modes and processes of penal sanctions, and explore how best to achieve the aspiration to set reasonable terms for future coexistence through state punishment. The book addresses key topics such as life imprisonment, what is at stake when we use prisons to punish, and how criminal offenders can be successfully integrated into society. It considers how we know whether we over-punish offenders, what we should do in response to excessive punishment, and the possibility of replacing punitive systems with non-punitive ones. Overall, the book makes a groundbreaking contribution to the philosophy of punishment, explicitly connecting general, abstract questions about the moral and political justification of punishment with empirical insight into the realities and experiences of punishment practices.

Punishment Theory Meets Punishment Practice

Key Ideas in Business and Management

Narratives provide the structure through which individuals, organisations, and institutions understand the world, act under uncertainty, and shape the future.This book reveals narratives as a powerful force in business and society, one that shapes how we think, decide, and structure our individual and collective life. Drawing on behavioural science, sociology, strategy, and organisation theory, it offers a clear, interdisciplinary framework that explains how narratives are a behavioural mechanism to act under uncertainty. The book shows how narratives work to guide decisions, build markets, mobilise change, reproduce power, and create self-reinforcing cycles of belief and behaviour.Positioning narratives as a key idea in management, this book opens a new path for rethinking business and society. It is essential reading for students and scholars of business, organisation studies, and the behavioural and social sciences.

Across the Aisle

This balanced book illuminates Republican and Democratic responses and attitudes toward crime, police work, sentencing, incarceration, and rehabilitation in the USA. A broad array of law enforcement and criminal justice issues are examined, including mass incarceration, sentencing disparities, anti-drug efforts, marijuana legalization, death penalty, mandatory minimums, civil asset forfeiture, prison privatization, rape and other crimes in prison settings, women in prison, support for therapeutic/educational programs, sentencing for juvenile offenders, harsher penalties for hate crimes, and voting rights for ex-felons. The focus is on specific and timely topics in criminal justice that are most susceptible to legislative policies. Readers will benefit by developing an appreciation for how politics impacts the criminal justice system, and how the parties have developed laws that impact their lives, dictate acceptable behavior, and legislate appropriate responses for violators. The emphasis of the series is contemporary, but it includes historical perspective to provide a sense of how each party's positions and actions have evolved over time.
