The world, our bodies, and our minds are in a constant state of flux. They are a stream of ever-mutating, emergent patterns. Rather than steel ourselves against such change, Emergent Strategy teaches us to map and assess the swirling structures and to read them as they happen, all the better to shape that which ultimately shapes us, personally and politically. A resolutely materialist spirituality based equally on science and science fiction: a wild feminist and afro-futurist ride! adrienne maree brown, co-editor of Octavia’s Brood: Science Fiction from Social Justice Movements, is a social justice facilitator, healer, and doula living in Detroit.

Category : Music
Languages : en
Pages : 244
Book Description
Deems Taylor (1885-1966) was a composer, music critic, author, commentator, translator, and artist. He was the first American composer commissioned to write an opera by New York’s Metropolitan Opera, and composed orchestral and solo works that remain part of the repertoire. He gained fame initially introducing the regular radio broadcasts of the New York Philharmonic in the mid-‘30s; his fame was so great, that animator Walt Disney invited him to be the on-screen host of Fantasia. Taylor wrote for many popular journals, including Vanity Fair and the New Yorker, as well as the daily press, and his work was collecting in many best-selling books. Taylor’s biographer, James Pegolotti, has made a fresh selection of the best of Taylor’s writings on music for this new volume. Divided into parts reflecting a chronological look at Taylor’s entire career, the work exposes the reader to Taylor’s wit and keen intellect. Pegolotti has written brief introductions for each section, placing Taylor’s work in the context of its time. Deems Taylor: Selected Writings brings into full view a forgotten important music reviewer and social commentator of the first half of the twentieth century.

Deems Taylor
Author: James A. Pegolotti
Publisher: UPNE
ISBN: 9781555535872
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 444
Book Description
Composer, critic, author, and radio personality, (Joseph) Deems Taylor (1885-1966) was one of the most influential figures in American culture from the 1920s through the 1940s. A self-taught composer, the New York City native wrote such pieces as the orchestral suite Through the Looking Glass and the acclaimed operas The King's Henchman and Peter Ibbetson, the first commissions ever offered by the Metropolitan Opera. Taylor's operatic works were among the most popular and widely performed of his day, yet he achieved greatest fame and recognition as the golden-voiced intermission commentator for the New York Philharmonic radio broadcasts and as the on-screen host of Walt Disney's classic film Fantasia. With his witty, clever, charming, and informative but unpatronizing manner, he almost single-handedly introduced classical music to millions of Americans across the nation. In this first biography of Taylor, James A. Pegolotti brings to life the remarkably multi-talented man within the context of his times. The captivating portrait recounts his formative years in the Bronx, his college years at New York University, where he composed four successive varsity musicals, his journalistic career first as a writer for the New York Tribune Sunday Magazine and then as the powerful music critic for the New York World, and his musical triumphs. Pegolotti also details Taylor's stints as editor of Musical America, president of the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers (ASCAP), best-selling author of Of Men and Music and other books, collaborator with Disney and Leopold Stokowski on Fantasia, and even judge for the Miss America pageant. He describes how Taylor used his critic's pulpit to champion American music, opera, and musicians, and also chronicles his colorful personal life, including his third marriage at age sixty to a twenty-year-old costume designer. Enlivened with such figures as George Gershwin, Jerome Kern, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Ayn Rand, and Taylor's fellow Algonquin Round Table tastemakers, this in-depth, well-balanced, and objective biography will stand as the definitive work on the great American composer-critic.

Short-Term Rental Platforms as Deemed Suppliers in the EU VAT System
Author: Emilia Teresa Sroka
Publisher: Kluwer Law International B.V.
ISBN: 9403543183
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 354
Book Description
Although much has been written and discussed about value-added tax (VAT) as an important source of public revenue in the EU, to date, the complex issue of the VAT liability of intermediaries operating in the digital realm remains underexplored. This book is the first to provide an in-depth examination of the VAT qualification of short-term rental platforms and their associated regulatory challenges, and also analyse and compare three deemed supplier models – intermediators of electronic services, e-commerce, and accommodation services – within the EU VAT system. The author details all the essential topics arising from the platform economy’s impact on the short-term rental sector and VAT collection challenges, including the following: existing VAT regulations relevant to the accommodation sector; online hosts as VAT taxable persons; classification of services provided by platforms; platforms as undisclosed agents; application of Article 28 of the VAT Directive to short-term rental platforms; the role of intermediaries in the VAT collection; the concept of the deemed supplier and its role in the EU VAT system. By describing the deemed supplier solution on the example of transactions through short-term rental platforms, the book facilitates compliance and strategic planning for platform operators, tax practitioners, and other professionals dealing with VAT in the EU. It will also prove advantageous in the development of effective VAT policies and regulations, ultimately contributing to improved tax collection and economic efficiency.
