David Dinkins and New York City Politics: Race, Images, and the Media (buecher.de - (Teil1)) |  Produktbeschreibung (22041308): As the first African American elected mayor of New York City, David Dinkins underwent intense scrutiny--´´first from the black community, then from white liberal supporters, the media, and the city´s electorate. Wilbur C. Rich focuses on the critical role played by the New York City media in the perception of mayoral leadership. Using interviews and words of journalists, Rich examines media coverage as both the architect and challenger of Dinkins´ image. The making and unmaking of David Dinkins not only exposes much about the agency of African American politicians, but also reveals the fragility of electoral coalitions. | | >>> Jetzt bei buecher.de - (Teil1) ansehen oder für EUR 31.95 bestellen! |

Mr. Chairman: Power in Dan Rostenkowski´s America (buecher.de - (Teil2)) |  Produktbeschreibung (21382926): The story of Dan Rostenkowski´s rise and fall provides one of the keys to how power is sought, won, exercised, and distributed in contemporary America, argues political journalist James L. Merriner.A literal son of the Chicago political machine, Rostenkowski was installed in politics by his father, Alderman Joseph P. Rostenkowski, and by his mentor, Mayor Richard J. Daley. In his thirty-six-year congressional career, he served nine presidents, forming close friendships with many of them. His legislative masterpiece was the 1986 tax reform law. Eight years later, he was indicted on federal charges for misusing tax dollars and campaign funds. In his dealings with the man who tumbled dramatically from his high position as chair of the powerful House Ways and Means Committee all the way down to a cell in a federal prison in Wisconsin, Merriner found Rostenkowski candid, straightforward, and authentic -- ´´except when it came to his own finances´´. Rostenkowski is not a complex man in need of psychoanalysis on the part of his biographer, and Merriner does not indulge in much of that. Purely, simply, and openly, Rostenkowski wanted power. He wanted wealth. He got both, and Merriner shows us how. Merriner sees mythic qualities in Rostenkowski, characterizing him as the ´´tall bold slugger´´ of Carl Sandburg´s 1916 poem about Chicago. Noting that this master politician climbed to fantastic peaks only to fall hard and fast, Merriner points out that ´´Rostenkowski´s life ascended from power in the political-science sense to tragedy in the classical sense´´. The Justice Department and the electorate sacrificed Rostenkowski as an embodiment of the excesses of big government. Like the Greek chorusof tragedy, major media reported the scandal to the masses. Yet Merriner does not strain to make his subject fit a classical mold. He tells instead the ´´story of a great man who was also a little man, a statesman and a crook, an emotional man, an American original´´.

| | Produktbeschreibung (20980052): Set in the union halls, taverns, and half built skyscrapers of midtown Manhattan and in the gritty uptown neighborhood of Inwood, The Rackets depicts every shade of New York Irish - as well as Italian mobsters, Russian killers, and a gun-running Gulf War veteran on disability. Our hero is Jimmy Dolan, who, after putting himself through college by working as a day laborer, goes to work for a smug Republican mayor. When he tries to settle an old dispute with his fists at a Gracie Mansion breakfast meeting, he finds himself out of a job - and sought out by Frankie Keefe, the corrupt union boss he knocked to the carpet. Jimmy´s father Mike, a saintly widower, is running for president of the construction worker´s union, but when he is brutally murdered, Jimmy has to decide whether to risk his life - and that of his girlfriend Tara, a bold New York City policewoman - in order to defend his father´s honor and the interests of the rank and file. | | >>> Jetzt bei buecher.de - (Teil2) ansehen oder für EUR 27.99 bestellen! |

Government is Good: Citizenship, Participation, and Power (buecher.de - (Teil2)) | | Produktbeschreibung (21827067): We like to think that government is there when we want it. Voters - if they vote - have the power. Elected officials, especially in local government, are there to carry out the details and to take care of the humdrum ´´nuts-and-bolts´´ running of things. Having been a council member and mayor for a small Southern manufacturing town ´´Hill City´´, the author of this book has experienced what it is like to try and make local government work. This book takes readers inside the system to show the politics as its most human level by challenging the presumption of many political scientists that an understanding of governments is necessarily technical, addressing such abstractions as memory, symbol, context and power as they work in the practice of governing. r | | >>> Jetzt bei buecher.de - (Teil2) ansehen oder für EUR 17.95 bestellen! |

Sexo y Ahora Que Hago: Soluciones Para Dudas Sexuales Basicas y No Tan Basicas (buecher.de - (Teil2)) | Produktbeschreibung (21550509): Alessandra Rampolla es la primer sexologa en alcanzar el nivel mediatico de una estrella. En este libro, estructurado en forma de preguntas y respuestas, encontraras toda la informacion necesaria para saber cuidarte, conocer tu cuerpo y obtener mayor placer sexual.
Vivimos en un mundo donde los avances cientificos y tecnologicos estan a la orden del dia. Estamos saturados de medios de comunicacion y noticias, pero no estamos necesariamente informados y, mucho menos, educados para saber como incorporar esa informacion, formarnos y crecer en consecuencia. Vemos escenas y graficas de sexo por todas partes y las comentamos. Sin embargo, desconocemos cosas elementales de la actividad sexual. El sexo siempre fue un tema espinoso de tratar por cuestiones culturales, religiosas o morales. De sexo todos se jactan saber, pero en realidad pocos saben bien o se preocupan por aprender.
Alessandra no es la primera que irrumpe en los medios hablando de sexo y contestando consultas, pero es la primera que se supo ganar la confianza de la gente, logrando que se atreva a preguntar publicamente desde lo mas basico hasta lo mas osado, respondiendo con simpleza y exactitud, llamando a las cosas por su nombre y sin cuestionar o emitir juicios valorativos acerca de gustos o inclinaciones.
Alessandra hace facil lo dificil y permite que nadie se sienta discriminado por su ignorancia o por su manera de hallar placer. En este libro encontraremos todas las respuestas a nuestras dudas sobre sexualidad, desde las mas aparentemente obvias hasta las mas desopilantes. Este libro surge de la enorme experiencia clinica que ha tenido Alessandra en su consultorio. El libro es un reflejo de las consultasque miles de pacientes le han hecho a lo largo de los anos.
