Imperiedrömmar : USA:s utrikespolitik efter det kalla kriget | Leopard Förlag | Utgiven 2005. Detta är ett nytryck. | Förlagsband. | 415 s. | 9789173430777 Språk: Svenska | Originaltitel: The sorrows of empire | Baksidestext eller annan relevant information: Ett imperium på gungfly Efter det kalla krigets slut stod USA ensamt kvar som supermakt. Inget annat land kunde tävla om makt och inflytande. USA var lika mäktigt som en gång romarriket. I Imperiedrömmar beskriver Chalmers Johnson USA:s strategi för att kontrollera världens råvarukällor och sprida the American way of life till alla kontinenter. USA har byggt ut sitt system av militärbaser över hela världen. De stora industriföretagen samverkar med Pentagon om allt från utvecklingen av nya flygplan till Disneykoncernens produktion av storslagna filmer. Johnson skildrar hur militären infiltrerar regeringsorganen i Washington och manipulerar den federala budgeten för att stärka sitt inflytande över det amerikanska samhället. Men den amerikanska militarismen motarbetar USA:s deltagande i internationellt samarbete och håller på att göra USA bankrutt. Chalmers Johnson hävdar att den amerikanska republiken redan har kastat tärningen och gått över sitt Rubicon med Pentagon i täten.

The British essayists: With prefaces, historical and biographical, by A Chalmers Little Brown & Co. hardcover Boston: Little, Brown, & Co., 1856Â57 . Bindings lightly rubbed, a few with leather showing slight cracking over spines. Frontispiece with bookplate of private collector. Pages age-toned, with edges slightly embrittled; some occurrences of staining and pencilled underlining, with the majority of pages clean. An attractive set; many hours' worth of reading.. 12mo (18 cm, 7"). 38 vols. (1, 2, 5, 6, 13, 14, 19, 20, 22, 23, 25, 27, & 32 with frontis.) First American edition thus, reprinting the 1823 London edition of this extensive collection compiling material from the Tatler, Guardian, Spectator, Adventurer, Rambler, World, Connoisseur, Idler, Mirror, Lounger, Observer, and Looker-On periodicals. Chalmers, a prolific journalist and editor, is now best remembered for his General Biographical Dictionary, a massive undertaking which occupied years in its original preparation and subsequent revisions; the DNB lists some of his other publications with the comment that "No man ever edited so many works as Chalmers for the booksellers of London." An early purchaser has recorded the cost of binding the set (60 pence per book) in a pencilled note on the front fly-leaf of vol. I: "Aug. 15th 1864 in 38 vol bound in fine 1/2 moroco [sic] per vol c/60 d." The essays and authors here were all once fashionable as well as interesting; they are no longer at all fashionable, but they are interesting in ways that their authors and original readers never imagined. Bindings: Contemporary half morocco over attractive marbled paperÂcovered sides, each spine with gilt-stamped title, volume number, and elegant arabesque decorations. Top edges gilt.

ISBN: 0802139248 Subjects: Obituaries --Authorship --Fiction. Americans --England --Fiction. British --Kansas --Fiction. Young men --Fiction. Form/Genre: Humorous fiction. Love stories. Synopsis Who's Who in Hell is a compelling uproarious and achingly moving story about what happens when our plans for life meet its plans for us. Written with a keen eye and enormous heart that call to mind David Schickler Nick Hornby and early Roddy Doyle Who's Who in Hell is a novel with a voice all its own. Daniel Linnell is a charming rather hapless young man until he meets Laura -- an unsettlingly feisty American who likes to parachute out of planes on weekends. Recently fired from a job as a relatively unskilled counselor for London's desperate he meets Laura one night in a bar and quickly finds himself falling for her. At the same time he finds a new job as an obituarist and is caught up in the day-to-day life of the oddballs who produce a major London daily newspaper. His editor Whittington a dyed-in-the-wool English eccentric initiates him into the pecking order of obituarists vs. news reporters vs. the sports desk; the annual ritual of the drunken Obituaries Outing with all of the octogenarian history buffs who provide their research; and the secret cache of unexpurgated obits of the less-than-angelic obits that will never see print -- which Whittington keeps in a hollowed-out book in his office. With Whittington's encouragement Daniel begins to write a Who's Who in Hell -- a mammoth compendium of the evil and damned. Begun for his own amusement the book takes on a momentum of its own and garners him a publisher's advance. He goes to Kansas to meet Laura's parents. Things are all going beautifully. But it's always then that things have a way of changing. Who's Who in Hell is a delightfully antic deeply moving novel that captures the joys and agonies of love and theperverse deceptions and unanticipated highs and lows of life. It is sure to establish Robert Chalmers as one of the brightest young writers out of Britain. ISBN : 0

Who's Who in Hell: A Novel Grove Press paperback . Paperback. 0802139248 From Publishers Weekly Chalmers's debut novel explores that territory to which Nick Hornby has so expertly laid claim: the feckless man who has reached the fateful dividing point between the slacker lifestyle of the 20s and the bourgeois comforts that beckon in the 30s. Londoner Daniel Linnell is on the verge of losing his job with Resolve a counseling center where he mans the pay-per-minute therapy hot lines. Into his life comes Laura Jardine an expatriate American who manages a hipster pub. Laura defines herself by her hobbies: taking pictures of dogs and parachuting the latter a little too obviously portentous of disaster to come. After Daniel receives the boot from the institute he eventually finds his true niche as an incredibly well-remunerated obituarist for a London paper in a country where obituaries are a sort of literary extreme sport. Essentially Daniel's job is to compose farewells that hint at the vices and inadequacies of the dearly departed. Inspired by his job Daniel begins work on an obituary almanac of the more notorious inhabitants of hell. Meanwhile he and Laura surmount with some mutual angst Lauras penchant for infidelity visit Laura's boorish Kansas family and produce a child. Chalmers can be witty but he lacks Hornby's light touch; there is too much exegesis per joke and scenes run on longer than they need to. Still there are some inspired moments and he tackles family tragedy with more assurance than he handles comedy the book's dark denouement offers a strong finish. Copyright Reed Business Information Inc. From Booklist This first novel by a young British writer is sure to invite comparisons with Nick Hornby's work. Because the novel is so layered with idiosyncratic anecdotes--the lead character is an obituary writer his girlfriend is a skydiver--it is not as accessible as Hornby's best-sellers. What Chalmers does share with the author of High Fidelity 1995 however is the ability to tell a hip passionate love story without a shred of sentimentality. When Londoner Daniel Linnell meets American barkeep Laura Jardine she goes "off in his life like a bomb." Daniel is initially intimidated by the fact that she has slept with so many men and although they are at once inseparable he is haunted by the fear that she will be unfaithful. He falls into a cushy high-paying job as an obituarist working for a brilliant deeply eccentric editor; he visits Laura's welcoming unpretentious hometown in Kansas; and he and Laura eventually have a child. Witty very well written the obituaries themselves are gems and delightfully unpredictable this is an impressive debut by a writer to watch. Joanne Wilkinson Copyright ! American Library Association.

The Projector; a Periodical Paper 3 volumes complete - Volume 1 - viii+422pp; Volume 2 - viii+414pp and Volume 3 - viii+380pp. Original boards, original paper label to spines, uncut. Slightly chipped to spine ends, spines rubbed, especially to outer joints, corners slightly bumped and worn. Internally some very light browning to edges, otherwise generally fairly clean and bright. "Chalmers, Alexander (1759-1834), biographer and literary editor .... Although the accounts of Chalmers's life are vague on his early years in London, it was probably through Perry's efforts that he began his connection with the periodical press. He contributed to several newspapers and journals, and in 1788 began a relationship with the Gentleman's Magazine that was to continue throughout his productive years. His contributions included a monthly serial essay entitled �The Projector� which ran for eight years .... It was as an editor and biographer that Chalmers made his most significant contributions to British literature. As John Bowyer Nichols noted, �no man ever edited so many works for the Booksellers of London� .... Although he was regarded by some of his contemporaries as a retailer of minutiae and a booksellers' hack, Alexander Chalmers's extensive biographical and bibliographical research has been respected and cited by subsequent generations of students of British literature" (Oxford DNB) Bookseller reference : 15514 |
