| cengage apollo: Everyone's Gone to the Moon Joe Cuhaj, 2023-10-17 Much has been written about the legendary flight of Apollo 11 and mankind’s first tentative steps into deep space. It’s often said that the world stopped, watching in awe as the crew of Apollo 11 completed their mission. It is true that in that moment, almost everyone had virtually gone to the moon as people around the world gazed in wonderment at the grainy black-and-white images of Neil Armstrong taking that first step onto the surface of another world. But that was a fleeting moment and just as quickly, the moment was gone– wars raged on, protestors filled the streets, and average Americans went back to their daily lives. Everyone’s Gone to the Moon is a week-by-week journey through July 1969, one of the most pivotal months in human history – in space and here on Earth. This unique book follows the crew of Apollo 11 and NASA as they prepare for the historic first lunar landing alongside the major global events buried beneath headlines covering the historic space mission. Interwoven with the story of Apollo 11 are the events on our home planet that made an equally important impact on who we were then and who we are today: the Life of Prince Charles was threatened by a terrorist attack in Wales; the storm dubbed the Ohio Fireworks Derecho ripped through the Midwest, killing dozens; the assassination of Kenyan Economic Minister Tom Myoba (of which Barack Obama Sr. was a key witness) undercut a nation just learning to stand on its own; Senator Ted Kennedy was involved in a mysterious accident in Chappaquiddick, Massachusetts; ARPANET, the first real “Internet” was unveiled; Monty Python was born; John Lennon and Paul McCartney released “Give Peace a Chance” during escalated Vietnam War tensions; Midnight Cowboy stunned the Academy Awards; and much more. Meanwhile, NASA was still scrambling. Everyone’s Gone to the Moon features little known behind-the-scenes stories of the moon landing like how NASA had to grapple with media, the technical issues that still plagued the lunar module, and how the prior crew of Apollo 10 suffered incredible itching from their spacesuits that needed correcting before Apollo 11 could even be launched. This deep dive into the Apollo 11 mission’s most crucial weeks and the little-known and rarely remembered events occurring simultaneously back on Earth gives a vivid new perspective to the month that launched humanity into the future. , |

| cengage apollo: The Oxford Handbook of Publishing Angus Phillips, Michael Bhaskar, 2019-04-23 Publishing is one of the oldest and most influential businesses in the world. It remains an essential creative and knowledge industry, worth over $140 billion a year, which continues to shape our education and culture. Two trends make this a particularly exciting time. The first is the revolution in communications technology that has transformed what it means to publish; far from resting on their laurels and retreating into tradition, publishers are doing as they always have - staying on the cutting edge. The second is the growing body of academic work that studies publishing in its many forms. Both mean that there has never been a more important time to examine this essential practice and the current state of knowledge. The Oxford Handbook of Publishing marks the coming of age of the scholarship in publishing studies with a comprehensive exploration of current research, featuring contributions from both industry professionals and internationally renowned scholars on subjects such as copyright, corporate social responsibility, globalizing markets, and changing technology. This authoritative volume looks at the relationship of the book publishing industry with other media, and how intellectual property underpins what publishers do. It outlines the complex and risky economics of the industry and examines how marketing, publicity, and sales have become ever more central aspects of business practice, while also exploring different sectors in depth and giving full treatment to the transformational and much discussed impact of digital publishing. This Handbook is essential reading for anyone interested in publishing, literature, and the business of media, entertainment, culture, communication, and information. |

| cengage apollo: 284 Mireia Aragay, Martin Middeke, 2017-08-21 Drawing primarily on Judith Butler’s, Jacques Derrida’s, Emmanuel Levinas’s and Jean-Luc Nancy’s reflections on precariousness/precarity, the Self and the Other, ethical responsibility/obligation, forgiveness, hos(ti)pitality and community, the essays in this volume examine the various ways in which contemporary British drama and theatre engage with ‘the precarious’. Crucially, what emerges from the discussion of a wide range of plays – including Jez Butterworth’s Jerusalem, Caryl Churchill’s Here We Go, Martin Crimp’s Fewer Emergencies and In the Republic of Happiness, Tim Crouch’s The Author, Forced Entertainment’s Tomorrow’s Parties, David Greig’s The American Pilot and The Events, Dennis Kelly’s Love and Money, Mark Ravenhill’s Shoot/Get Treasure/Repeat, Philip Ridley’s Mercury Fur, Robin Soans’s Talking to Terrorists, Simon Stephens’s Pornography, theTheatre Uncut project, debbie tucker green’s dirty butterfly and Laura Wade’s Posh – is the observation that contemporary (British) drama and theatre often realises its thematic and formal/structural potential to the full precisely by reflecting upon the category and the episteme of precariousness, and deliberately turning audience members into active participants in the process of negotiating ethical agency. |

| cengage apollo: The Economics of the Publishing and Information Industries Albert N. Greco, 2014-12-05 Books, scholarly journals, business information, and professional information play a pivotal role in the political, social, economic, scientific, and intellectual life of nations. While publications abound on Wall Street and financial service companies, the relationship between Wall Street’s financial service companies and the publishing and information industries has not been explored until now. The Economics of the Publishing and Information Industries utilizes substantive historical, business, consumer, economic, sociological, technological, and quantitative and qualitative methodologies to understand the people, trends, strengths, opportunities, and threats the publishing industry and the financial service sector have faced in recent years. Various developments, both economic and demographic, contributed to the circumstances influencing the financial service sector’s investment in the publishing and information industries. This volume identifies and analyzes those developments, clearly laying out the forces that drove the marriage between the spheres of publishing and finance. This book offers insight and analysis that will appeal to those across a wide variety of fields and occupations, including those in financial service firms, instructors and students in business, communications, finance, or economics programs, business and financial reporters, regulators, private investors, and academic and major public research libraries. |
| cengage apollo: Class Clowns Jonathan A. Knee, 2016-11-29 The past thirty years have seen dozens of otherwise successful investors try to improve education through the application of market principles. They have funneled billions of dollars into alternative schools, online education, and textbook publishing, and they have, with surprising regularity, lost their shirts. In Class Clowns, professor and investment banker Jonathan A. Knee dissects what drives investors' efforts to improve education and why they consistently fail. Knee takes readers inside four spectacular financial failures in education: Rupert Murdoch's billion-dollar effort to reshape elementary education through technology; the unhappy investors—including hedge fund titan John Paulson—who lost billions in textbook publisher Houghton Mifflin; the abandonment of Knowledge Universe, Michael Milken's twenty-year mission to revolutionize the global education industry; and a look at Chris Whittle, founder of EdisonLearning and a pioneer of large-scale transformational educational ventures, who continues to attract investment despite decades of financial and operational disappointment. Although deep belief in the curative powers of the market drove these initiatives, it was the investors' failure to appreciate market structure that doomed them. Knee asks: What makes a good education business? By contrasting rare successes, he finds a dozen broad lessons at the heart of these cautionary case studies. Class Clowns offers an important guide for public policy makers and guardrails for future investors, as well as an intelligent exposé for activists and teachers frustrated with the repeated underperformance of these attempts to shake up education. |

| cengage apollo: Ornette Coleman Claire O'Neal, 2012-09-30 One cold November Night in 1959, a screeching, pleading sax solo sliced through the broken shadows of the cold New York City air. Ornette Coleman announced his arrival on a plastic saxophone, changing the shape of jazz to come. The father of free jazz, Coleman believes in the art of the improvisers. Coleman champions the power of instruments, more than just a song, to create a spontaneous conversation in music that speaks of human feelings. To his critics, the unprecedented music of Ornette Coleman is nothing more than noise. But his many fans and awards testify to a career that, like his music, opens a caravan of dreams, ignoring boundaries in favor of a relentless celebration of creativity. Coleman’s is no snobby jazz. Throughout Coleman’s career, he championed a music played in the moment . . . a music that’s dancing in your head. |
| cengage apollo: Russia's Theatrical Past Claudia R. Jensen, Ingrid Maier, Stepan Shamin, Daniel C. Waugh, 2021-06-01 In the 17th century, only Moscow's elite had access to the magical, vibrant world of the theater. In Russia's Theatrical Past, Claudia Jensen, Ingrid Maier, Stepan Shamin, and Daniel C. Waugh mine Russian and Western archival sources to document the history of these productions as they developed at the court of the Russian tsar. Using such sources as European newspapers, diplomats' reports, foreign travel accounts, witness accounts, and payment records, they also uncover unique aspects of local culture and politics of the time. Focusing on Northern European theatrical traditions, the authors explore the concept of intertheater, which describes transmissions between performing traditions, and reveal how the Muscovite court's interest in theater and other musical entertainment was strongly influenced by diplomatic contacts. Russia's Theatrical Past, made possible by an international research collaborative, offers fresh insight into how and why Russians went to such great efforts to rapidly develop court theater in the 17th century. |

| cengage apollo: Missão economia Mariana Mazzucato, 2022-05-18 E se aplicássemos aos problemas atuais de nossa sociedade o espírito, a audácia e os meios que nos levaram à Lua? Missão economia , escrito pela premiada economista Mariana Mazzucato, examina de uma maneira radicalmente nova os grandes desafios que temos pela frente. Aquecimento global, poluição, obesidade, demência, desigualdade, violência armada, exclusão digital — esses dilemas ambientais, sanitários e sociais são enormes, complexos e não têm solução simples. Inspirando-se nos programas que levaram o ser humano a pisar na Lua e que coordenaram com sucesso os setores público e privado em grande escala, Mariana Mazzucato propõe que o mesmo nível de ousadia e experimentação seja empregado para a resolução dos maiores problemas do nosso tempo. Devemos, argumenta ela, repensar as capacidades e o papel do governo na economia e na sociedade e, acima de tudo, recuperar um senso de propósito público. Missão economia apresenta uma saída para nossos impasses na direção de um futuro mais otimista. Uma das mais influentes economistas do mundo. — Wired Sua defesa por uma nova abordagem é arrebatadora, e o projeto de Mariana Mazzucato é ambicioso. Missão economia nos contagia com o tipo de visão, ambição e criatividade de que tão desesperadamente necessitamos hoje. — The Guardian Sua proposta é tão ampla quanto pouco habitual: um relato original e convincente sobre como criar um futuro desejável. — The New York Times Desde 1969 nos perguntamos como os seres humanos conseguiram chegar à lua, mas não conseguem resolver os problemas urgentes aqui da Terra. Mariana Mazzucato oferece uma resposta. — Financial Times Mazzucato influenciou a maneira como os políticos americanos falam sobre o potencial do Estado como uma máquina econômica. — The New Tork Times Mazzucato defende que as sociedades devem abjurar ideologias esgotadas e adotar a abordagem política que levou os astronautas à Lua. Convincente e fascinante. — The Economist |
| cengage apollo: En ny økonomi Mariana Mazzucato, 2021-04-27 Kapitalismen er i krise. De rike har blitt rikere – den øverste prosenten eier 44 prosent av verdens rikdom – mens klimaendringene endrer livet på jorden. Hvordan kan vi løse disse problemene som har vokst fram gjennom årtier? Denne boka tar for seg de store utfordringene i verden på en radikalt ny måte. Global oppvarming, forurensning, demens, fedme, skytevåpenepidemi, mobilitet – disse dilemmaene knyttet til miljø, helse og sosiale forhold er enorme, komplekse og har ingen enkle løsninger. Mariana Mazzucato mener at for å løse vår tids store problemer må vi tenke større, og bruke ressursene våre på en måte som er like dristig og inspirerende som månelandingen i 1969. Vi må restrukturere kapitalismen fundamentalt og gjøre den inkluderende og bærekraftig. Vårt økonomiske system må løse konkrete problemer, fra den digitale kløften og livstruende pandemier til forurensningen i byene. Dette innebærer at bedrifter, samfunn og myndigheter må samle seg om felles mål. En ny økonomi. Hvordan månelandingen inspirerer til å endre kapitalismen er oversatt av Eivind Lilleskjæret. Mariana Mazzucato (f. 1968) er en økonom med italiensk–amerikansk statsborgerskap. Hun er professor ved University College London i Economics of Innovation and Public Value og er grunnlegger av deres Institute for Innovation and Public Purpose. Hun har skrevet flere kritikerroste bøker, som The Entrepreneurial State og The Value of Everything. Times, Financial Times and Quartz har alle omtalt henne som en av vår tids mest innflytelsesrike økonomer. Hun råder politiske beslutningstakere over hele verden om innovasjonsledet inkluderende og bærekraftig vekst, blant annet som spesialrådgiver for EU-kommisjonæren for forskning, vitenskap og innovasjon. |

What is this Gulf Stream that flows out from Mexico before crossing the Atlantic toward Africa and Europe, and how can a stream cut through the ocean anyway? |

Pour les résoudre, nous devons voir grand et restructurer fondamentalement le capitalisme de l’intérieur, l’orienter par un esprit d’innovation axé sur des missions, concrètes, impulsées par la puissance publique.
