The Principal's Office
The first comprehensive history of principals in the United States. The Principals Office is the first historical examination of one of the most important figures in American education. Originating as a head teacher in the nineteenth century and evolving into the role of contemporary educational leader, the school principal has played a central part in the development of American public education. A local leader who not only manages the daily needs of the school but also represents district and state officials, the school principal is the connecting hinge between classroom practice and educational policy. Kate Rousmaniere explores the cultural, economic, and political pressures that have i...
But is it Garbage?
Trash has been blowing across the rock'n'roll landscape since the first amplified guitar riff tore through American mass culture. Throwaway tunes, wasted fans, crappy reviews, junk bins of remaindered albums: much of rock's quintessence is handily conveyed in terms of disposability and impermanence. Steven L. Hamelman sums up these rubbishy affinities as rock's "trash trope." Trash is an obvious physical presence on the rock scene -- think of Woodstock's littered pastures or the many hotel rooms redecorated by the Who. More intriguingly, Hamelman says, trash is the catalyst for a powerful mode of rock composition and criticism. It is, for instance, both cause and effect when performers like the Ramones or Beck at once critique junk culture and revel in it. But Is It Garbage? spills over with challenging insights into how rock's creators, critics, and consumers transform, and are transformed by, trash as a fact and a concept. In the music's preoccupation with its own trashiness readers will perceive a wellspring of rock innovation and inspiration -- one largely overlooked and little understood until now.

Release 2.0: Issue 8
A year after Release 2.0 first looked at what financial markets and web markets have to teach one another, it can seem like the two groups are still talking past each other. But we're seeing early signs of how Wall Street and Web 2.0 can work together-and deepening evidence that the two may become inextricable.

Global Pop
Global Pop examines the rise of "world musics" and "world beat", and some of the musicians associated with these recent genres such as Peter Gabriel, Ladysmith Black Mambazo, and Johnny Clegg. Drawing on a wide range of sources - academic, popular, cyber, interviews, and the music itself - Global Pop charts an accessible path through many of the issues and contradictions surrounding the contemporary movement of people and musics worldwide. Global Pop examines the range of discourses employed in and around world music, demonstrating how the central concept of authenticity is wielded by musicians, fans, and other listeners, and looks at some of these musics in detail, examining ways they are caught up in forms of domination and resistance. The book also explores how some cross-cultural collaborations may fashion new musics and identities through innovative combinations of sounds and styles.
哈佛商業評論2010年6月號
遺忘曲線 1970年代，英特爾率先推出動態隨機存取記憶體（DRAM），稱霸市場，但不到十年，就面臨後進的日本廠商強力競爭。英特爾在DRAM市場上逐漸敗退，因此公司內部實際運作上，已將資源逐漸轉移至其他更具市場競爭力和前瞻性的產品，但表面上，公司高層仍死守著「英特爾是DRAM廠商」的信條，不肯放棄這個「策略性」事業（不是有些人說，所謂「策略性」就是不賺錢嘛！）。直到1980年代中期，才由當時的執行長葛洛夫（Andrew S. Grove）和董事長摩爾（Gordon E. Moore）壯士斷腕，宣告退出DRAM市場。公司正式從DRAM的英特爾...
Spy
Smart. Funny. Fearless."It's pretty safe to say that Spy was the most influential magazine of the 1980s. It might have remade New York's cultural landscape; it definitely changed the whole tone of magazine journalism. It was cruel, brilliant, beautifully written and perfectly designed, and feared by all. There's no magazine I know of that's so continually referenced, held up as a benchmark, and whose demise is so lamented" --Dave Eggers. "It's a piece of garbage" --Donald Trump.
