Rutgers political scientist Barber, author of Strong Democracy (1984) and Jihad vs. McWorld (1995), was one of several dozen academics and intellectuals who participated in an ongoing conversation with the Clinton White House. His book describes "my affair with Clinton," giving Barber an opportunity to muse about the relationship between ideas and politics, the shifting ideology of the Democratic Party, and "the President's remarkable personality." Barber took part in seminars, contributed ideas to speechwriters, and hoped, for a time, to be nominated to head the National Endowment for the Humanities. (He lost out to Mississippi folklorist Bill Ferris, whose advantages included political invisibility and the support of Senate Majority Leader Trent Lott.) Barber is enough of a "strong" Democrat to recognize that, given the choice of responding to intellectuals or to polls, Clinton did the right thing in responding to polls. Assessing Clinton's legacy, Barber focuses on his failure to articulate an inspiring vision to unite his many small-bore programs: a failure for which Barber (and his fellow intellectuals) must accept some responsibility.

Printworld (P) Ltd., 2015. First edition. Hardcover. New. The savants of the twentieth century have excavated the past to discerningly reveal the present. Swami Vivekananda, Rabindranath Tagore, Sri Aurobindo, Mahatma Gandhi and Ananda Coomaraswamy, among others, interpreted Indian aesthetics, civilization, culture and philosophy unearthing the Indian wisdom against the wrong interpretations and teachings of the Western colonial scholars. This volume, a collection of papers presented at a national seminar on the Philosophy of Ananda Coomaraswamy held in February 2011 at the University of Hyderabad, approaches Coomaraswamy’s philosophy on Indian aesthetics, life and religion from different perspectives. The volume brings forth different facets of Coomaraswamy: as a catalyst in spiritualizing Indian arts; his views on modernism and anti-modernism; his efforts in aestheticizing India; his polemics of decolonization through art criticism; his aesthetical philosophy; his perception and understanding on art, culture and Indianness; his metaphysics; and his philosophical approach to visuals and materials from the lens of an art historian. It sketches Coomaraswamy’s multifaceted persona, enunciating that the crux of modern Indian philosophy is one of vision, rather than building theories. In a nutshell this book presents the varied reflections on Coomaraswamy’s personality as a philosopher, art historian, art curator and his strong positioning against the colonial teachings of Western art historians and philosophers on India’s art, civilization and culture, projecting an image of Indianness in every sphere.

New. ‘Perhaps the greatest figure’, as Louis Fischer appreciates, ‘of the last nineteen hundred years’, Mahatma Gandhi represents the best of religion. He identifies religion with the vision of man christened in Truth, Beauty and Goodness. The vision of man, the embodiment of religion as Gandhi highlights in his vision of Satyabarayana or Daridranayana, bring religion at the doorstep of every society where synchronization between religion and society becomes a living reality. The education of religion towards this direction is a typical Gandhian strategy for making religion a serene way of life hitherto unknown. The aesthetics of religion coupled with its mystic beyondings as Gandhi designs and experiments with Truth is even now a challenging task at the threshold of the twenty first century. Nationalism and religion as he harmonizes, might serve as positive guidelines for emergence of global consciousness. Religion in terms of non-violence is religion as it should be for greater excellence of man. The religion of non-violence as Gandhi Advocates, is the only way to eliminate utter ignorance in the name of religion now-a-days. An indepth study with a singnificant approach to the philosophy of religion, Gandhian Religion is a unique contribution toward Gandhian studies and research.

Van Belleghem, an entrepreneur, speaker, and author who teaches at Vlerick Leuven Gent Management School, Belgium, explains why traditional advertising no longer works and why change is needed in the way advertisers deal with consumers in the age of the Internet. Drawing on four years of research at his consulting firm, as well as the professional literature, conversations with advertisers, projects for customers, workshops and seminars, and his visions and beliefs, he examines the increasing gulf between modern consumers and traditional advertisers, the qualities of consumers today, and how the Internet has impacted how they communicate their purchasing decisions, then proposes a solution that will change the twentieth-century advertiser into a conversation manager for the twenty-first century who focuses on brand identification, uses advertising for activation of consumer messages, and manages consumers' conversations about products through observation, facilitation, and participation in them to improve sales results. He outlines tips that can be used to adjust the company strategy quickly and includes many examples. (2012 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR), Kogan Page, 2012<
