"The U.S. Empire has relied upon an almost unimaginable loss of life, from its inception during the European colonial period, to the present. And yet, in the face of a series of endless holocausts at home and abroad, the doctrine of American exceptionalism has plagued the globe for over a century. In Endless Holocausts author David Michael Smith demolishes the myth of exceptionalism by demonstrating that manifold forms of mass death, far from being unfortunate exceptions to an otherwise benign historical record, have been indispensable in the rise of the wealthiest and most powerful imperium in the history of the world. At the same time, Smith points to an extraordinary history of resistance by Indigenous peoples, people of African descent, people in other nations brutalized by U.S. imperialism, workers, and democratic-minded people around the world determined to fight for common dignity and the sake of the greater good."--Back cover.

Throughout the darkest moments of human history, evildoers have convinced communities to turn on groups that are regarded as in some way other and, by starting to think of them as less than human, persecute or even eliminate them. We can all recognize the unfathomable evils of dehumanization in slavery, the Holocaust, the Rwandan genocide, and the Jim Crow South, but we are not free from its power today. With climate change and political upheaval driving millions of refugees worldwide to leave their homes, we are likely to see more and more of this ugly and persistent phenomenon. What are we to do? Drawing on his deep and wide-ranging knowledge of the history, psychology, and politics of dehumanization, David Livingstone Smith shows us how to recognize it and how to fight back.

The near-collapse of the global banking system was not supposed to happen. In an era of financial globalisation and sophisticated modelling of risk, the manias, panics and crashes of the past had apparently become historical curiosities. Financial derivatives were based on the idea that parcelling up loans and selling them to a wide range of investors across the globe would spread risk - Alan Greenspan said so. Instead these instruments amplified such risk and produced the biggest collapse of financial confidence in the modern era. The apparent ushering in of a new and more uncertain era which looks set to last beyond the immediate crisis has created a sense of panic. And just as there is nothing new in the nature of the panic - except for its scale and global reach - so there is little new in these kinds of shifts in the economic environment. In this bold and cohesive book David Smith asks how did an apparently clear blue economic sky mask the approaching ferocious storm.

The ascension of China and India will be the outstanding development of the 21st century, raising fundamental questions about both the structure of the world economy and the balance of global geopolitical power.

Economist David Smith analyzes in depth the rapid eastward shift in global power to Beijing and Delhi — and its enormous ramifications for the west.

There is a myth that university leaders have been reborn as chief executives. The authors of thsi book argue that the reality is both more complex and more ambiguous. Although the managerial and political pressures on university leaders have increased (as have expectations of the institutional leadership they can provide) there is substantial evidence of significant continuity - not simply in who vice chancellors are and what they do - but also in how they conceive their roles; and the donnish monopoly of th top jobs in universities remains virtually unchallenged despite the development of mass higher education.

Das Werk von David Borgmann liefert einen eindrucksvollen Beleg für die anhaltende Bedeutung der Malerei. So demonstriert er mit vielen seiner Bilder, vor allem mit der zuletzt entstandenen Serie der Strukturlandschaften, dass Malerei schon allein deshalb wohl nie an ein Ende gelangen wird, weil es ihr so gut gelingt, das Auge des Betrachters zu verführen.0Sorgfältig, geradezu im Stil einer Versuchsanordnung mit immer wieder leicht anderen Variablen, lotet Borgmann die Kipppunkte aus, an denen Malerei sich in Illusionismus verwandelt. So gelingt es dem Künstler mit einem minimalistischen Einsatze an Flächen und Strukturen einen Himmel, das Meer, Berge oder Klippen entstehen zu lassen. In anderen Fällen glaubt man, Wasserfälle, Eisschollen oder Pflanzen auf den Bildern zu sehen. So zwingt Borgmann die Betrachter dazu, sich ganz auf die Gemälde zu konzentrieren ? wieder zu lernen, allein auf das zu achten, was dort zu sehen ist und welche Qualitäten sich bei längerem Hinschauen nach und nach entfalten

A Kossuth Kiadó Zsebmúzeum című sorozatában a Liverpooli Egyetem kutatója, David Michael Smith gyűjtötte össze a nagyvilág múzeumaiban őrzött ókori görög műtárgyakat, emlékeket. Ezek tömör elemzésével az olvasó betekintést nyerhet az égei-tengeri civilizáció gazdag kultúrájába. A kompetens szerző mintegy kétszáz tárgyat mutat be a kora őskőkor kétélű kéziszerszámaitól (i. e. 300 000 évvel ezelőtt) a hellenisztikus pergamoni nagy Zeusz-oltárig (i. e. 2. sz.). A leírt tárgyak korról korra tükrözik a virágzás és a hanyatlás váltakozó időszakait és a folyamatosan fejlődő kulturális és társadalmi normákat. A szöveget rengeteg illusztráció kíséri, minden tárgyat fénykép mutat be. A szómagyarázattal, névmutatóval és a múzeumok mutatójával kiegészített kis kötet jól hasznosítható bevezetés a klasszikus kultúrába, amely páratlan hatást gyakorolt a nyugati civilizációra."
