Justice and Egalitarian Relations

"No rock critic- living or dead, American or otherwise- has ever written about pop music with the evocative, hyperpoetic perfectitude of Rob Sheffield.  Love is a Mix Tape is the happiest, saddest, greatest book about rock'n'roll that I've ever experienced."&#8212;Chuck Klosterman, bestselling author of Fargo Rock Cty, Sex, Drugs, and Cocoa Puffs, Killing Yourself to Live and Chuck Klosterman IV"This is a lightly-handed, skillful and sincere celebration of pop, of love, sad songs, bad songs and the long, nearly unbearable ache of being a young widower.  Witty and wise; a true candidate for the All-Time Desert Island Top 5 Books About Pop Music."&#8212;Kirkus, starred review"I can't think of many books as appealing as Rob Sheffield's Love is a Mix Tape; Sheffield writes beautifully about music, he's hilarious, and his story is alternatingly joyous and heartbreaking.  Plus, everyone knows there's no better way to organize history and make sense of life than through the mix tape."&#8212;Haven Kimmel, bestselling author of She Got Up Off the Couch, A Girl Named Zippy and The Solace of Leaving Early&#8220;A celebratory eulogy of life &#8216;in the decade of Nirvana.&#8217;&#8221;&#8212;Publishers Weekly &#171; starred review&#8220;Sheffield's description of Ren&#233;e&#8217;s brilliant eccentricity and lovable quirkiness causes the reader to fall in love with her just as he does.&#8221;&#8212;Library Journal &#171; starred review"A glorious elegy to a pop culture-blessed decade and a tender, unforgettable tribute to the power of love" &#8212;The Miami Herald&#8220;Humorous, heartbreaking, and heroic.&#8221;&#8212;Entertainment Weekly&#8220;Sheffield writes elegantly without turning it into a depressing tale of love stolen away too soon. . . . Wry and sardonic, even in his suffering, he&#8217;s the tragic romantic who never gets overwrought.&#8221;&#8212;Newsweek&#8220;The finest lines ever written about rock &#8217;n&#8217; roll . . . Like that song on the radio, every word of Rob&#8217;s book is true. Love is a mix tape.&#8221; &#8212; Rolling Stone &#8220;Many of us use pop culture as a mirror of our emotional lives, but Sheffield happily walks right through the looking glass.&#8221;&#8212;Los Angeles Times

&ldquo;Ambitious and thought-provoking . . . highly entertaining.&rdquo;&mdash;The Economist &#160; &ldquo;A bold book explaining how and why we should embrace uncertainty, randomness, and error . . . It may just change our lives.&rdquo;&mdash;Newsweek &#160; &ldquo;Revelatory . . . [Taleb] pulls the reader along with the logic of a Socrates.&rdquo;&mdash;Chicago Tribune &#160; &ldquo;Startling . . . richly crammed with insights, stories, fine phrases and intriguing asides . . . I will have to read it again. And again.&rdquo;&mdash;Matt Ridley, The Wall Street Journal &#160; &ldquo;Trenchant and persuasive . . . Taleb&rsquo;s insatiable polymathic curiosity knows no bounds. . . . You finish the book feeling braver and uplifted.&rdquo;&mdash;New Statesman &#160; &ldquo;Antifragility isn&rsquo;t just sound economic and political doctrine. It&rsquo;s also the key to a good life.&rdquo;&mdash;Fortune &#160; &ldquo;At once thought-provoking and brilliant.&rdquo;&mdash;Los Angeles Times&ldquo;[Taleb] writes as if he were the illegitimate spawn of David Hume and Rev. Bayes, with some DNA mixed in from Norbert Weiner and Laurence Sterne. . . . Taleb is writing original stuff&mdash;not only within the management space but for readers of any literature&mdash;and . . . you will learn more about more things from this book and be challenged in more ways than by any other book you have read this year. Trust me on this.&rdquo;&mdash;Harvard Business Review&ldquo;By far my favorite book among several good ones published in 2012. In addition to being an enjoyable and interesting read, Taleb&rsquo;s new book advances general understanding of how different systems operate, the great variation in how they respond to unthinkables, and how to make them more adaptable and agile. His systemic insights extend very well to company-specific operational issues&mdash;from ensuring that mistakes provide a learning process to the importance of ensuring sufficient transparency to the myriad of specific risk issues.&rdquo;&mdash;Mohamed El-Erian, CEO of PIMCO, Bloomberg

'signs of struggle are remarkably few ... The price he pays for rhyming is never too high, and the profits are immense. Michael Hamburger once noted that while Faust had been translated again and again, no single version had established itself as a standard text for the English-speaking world. With his Parts One and Two, both in Oxford University Press World's Classics, Luke has provided us with exactly that.'

From the reviews:“The book presents a broad and intensive look at modern nonlinear structural mechanics, including: theoretical background, computational methods, and applications. … I would recommend this book to anyone interested in nonlinear structures and dynamics … . It represents a comprehensive reference for both its breadth of cutting edge topics and its exhaustive list of references. The care taken with the technical complexity of the illustrative models in each chapter is one of the key characteristics of this book.” (Justin Thomas Webster, Mathematical Reviews, March, 2014)“The book is an impressive treatise on non-linear structural mechanics and the author needs to be congratulated for presenting important concepts of nonlinear dynamics and mechanics with elegance and simplicity. … the book by Lacarbonara is a comprehensive tour de force in nonlinear structural mechanics. … The book can lend itself well to several different versions of a graduate course on nonlinear mechanics. In addition, the references included make this book an excellent and unique reference source.” (B. Balachandran, Meccanica, Vol. 48, 2013)
