The New Capitalists
Thanks to the rise of mutual funds and retirement plans, the actual owners of the world’s corporate giants are no longer a few wealthy families. Rather, they’re the huge majority of working people who have their pensions and life savings invested in shares of today’s largest companies. These grassroots owners have ideas about value that differ from those of tycoons or Wall Street traders. And corporate directors and executives are coming under increasing pressure to respond.

Hunks, Hotties, and Pretty Boys
White, heterosexual, middle-class men have long served as the standard for masculine “beauty,” even if such men have refused to embrace this term.

Although the contributors hail from both the humanities and the social sciences, all share a concern for how beauty ...

The Dumfriesshire Dales
The three Dumfriesshire dales of Nithsdale, Annandale and Eskdale are a rural playground of heatherclad hills, linns with tumbling waterfalls, babbling rivers and evershifting merse and firth. Despite being bisected by the main road into England, these dales were known more intimately by the discerning Victorians than they are today. Time, then, to rediscover the charms of this peaceful corner of Scotland. Whether it¿s a morning exploring the country¿s highest village, an afternoon paddling the shores of the Solway or an evening gazing at star-filled skies, Darren Flint and Donald Greig¿s hand-picked selection of 40 walks reveals what it is that makes this unassuming part of the world so special.
