DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe bestselling author of No Logo shows how the global "free market" has exploited crises and shock for three decades, from Chile to Iraq In her groundbreaking reporting, Naomi Klein introduced the term "disaster capitalism." Whether covering Baghdad after the U.S. occupation, Sri Lanka in the wake of the tsunami, or New Orleans post-Katrina, she witnessed something remarkably similar. People still reeling from catastrophe were being hit again, this time with economic "shock treatment," losing their land and homes to rapid-fire corporate makeovers. The Shock Doctrine retells the story of the most dominant ideology of our time, Milton Friedman's free market economic revolution. In contrast to the popular myth of this movement's peaceful global victory, Klein shows how it has exploited moments of shock and extreme violence in order to implement its economic policies in so many parts of the world from Latin America and Eastern Europe to South Africa, Russia, and Iraq. At the core of disaster capitalism is the use of cataclysmic events to advance radical privatization combined with the privatization of the disaster response itself. Klein argues that by capitalizing on crises, created by nature or war, the disaster capitalism complex now exists as a booming new economy, and is the violent culmination of a radical economic project that has been incubating for fifty years.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKPeople spent the twentieth century obsessed with the future. We created technologies that would help connect us faster, gather news, map the planet, and compile knowledge. We strove for an instantaneous network where time and space could be compressed. Well, the future's arrived. We live in a continuous now enabled by Twitter, email, and a so-called real-time technological shift. Yet this "now" is an elusive goal that we can never quite reach. And the dissonance between our digital selves and our analog bodies has thrown us into a new state of anxiety: present shock.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKA postmodern masterpiece about fraud and forgery by one of the most distinctive, accomplished novelists of the last century. The Recognitions is a sweeping depiction of a world in which everything that anyone recognizes as beautiful or true or good emerges as anything but: our world. The book is a masquerade, moving from New England to New York to Madrid, from the art world to the underworld, but it centers on the story of Wyatt Gwyon, the son of a New England minister, who forsakes religion to devote himself to painting, only to despair of his inspiration. In expiation, he will paint nothing but flawless copies of his revered old masters—copies, however, that find their way into the hands of a sinister financial wizard by the name of Recktall Brown, who of course sells them as the real thing. Dismissed uncomprehendingly by reviewers on publication in 1955 and ignored by the literary world for decades after, The Recognitions is now established as one of the great American novels, immensely ambitious and entirely unique, a book of wild, Boschian inspiration and outrageous comedy that is also profoundly serious and sad.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKIn this first version of the book Hemorrhagic Shock: Recognition, Pathophysiology and Management, the entire spectrum of hemorrhage in various pathologic conditions is explored with a particular emphasis on bleeding from injury. World class experts have summarised their benchtop or clinical investigation of severe bleeding and the subsequent hosts response. Furthermore, contemporary content experts have been assembled to relate their own clinical expertise flanked by literature consensus in the subject. Navigation through the different chapters reveals succinct discussions about epidemiology, pathophysiology, bedside assessment and laboratory investigations. In addition, an important part of the content is practical approaches to the management and/or control of difficult hemorrhage sites including the diagnosis, management, adjunct, pharmaceutical and operative options available for the care of these patients. Additionally, separate chapters are presented for exploring areas related to bleeding in unique patients, including maternal-fetal medicine, prehospital and austere environment settings. Finally, the most novel and cutting edge materials, adjuncts and pharmacological agents are discussed as well as a concerted vision of what the future is likely going to bring to the care of these patients. The authorship reflects a multitude of backgrounds and disciplines, all focused on mitigating the impact of hemorrhage and hemorrhagic shock in its multiple facets. Trainees, advanced practice providers, fellows, attending surgeons, traumatologists, anesthesiologists, emergency physicians and intensivists will find valuable information derived from the vast experiences of the authors and their concise presentation of the most current literature in this dynamic field.
