The Three Marriages

The Three Marriages: Reimagining Work, Self and Relationship, originally published in 2009, and asks us to think about our work, relationships and inner selves as mutually supportive as opposed to entities in conflict with each other. These pursuits are, at their hearts, non-negotiable, and to separate them in a bid to balance their demands, David Whyte argues, is self-defeating. Over the course of the book he considers his own struggles and the lives of some of the world's greatest writers: Dante, Austen and Louis Stevenson among others. A fulfilled life, he demonstrates, is one in which our core commitments are connected and nourish each other.

David Whyte's Consolations use everyday words to present us with a prism through which to better understand ourselves and the lives we walk through. At the request of readers globally, Whyte returns with fifty-two short, elegant meditations on a single word ranging from 'Anxiety' to 'Body', 'Freedom', 'Shame' and 'Moon'. He embraces their nuances, amplitudes and depths, and, in doing so, confronts realities that many of us would spend a lifetime trying senselessly to avoid. In Consolations II, anxiety might be more mercifully understood as the preparation for being hurt, fixed beliefs are recognised as the very places where we do not wish to understand, guilt is a friend compassionately waiting for us to catch up and routine becomes a form of ritual and worship. Each piece in this life-affirming book is an invitation to slow down, shift our perspective and find comfort. In these pages, Whyte explores the full constellation of human experience.

We have reached the point of no return. The existential threat of climate change is now a reality. The world has never been more vulnerable. Yet corporations are already planning a life beyond this point. The business models of fossil fuel giants factor in continued profitability in a scenario of a five-degree increase in global temperature. An increase that will kill millions, if not billions. This is the shocking reality laid bare in a new, hard-hitting book by David Whyte. Ecocide makes clear the problem won’t be solved by tinkering around the edges, instead it maps out a plan to end the corporation’s death-watch over us. This book will reveal how the corporation has risen to this position of near impunity, but also what we need to do to fix it. This book is relevant to United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 13, Climate action

«En viktig og vakker bok.» Nick Cave, låtskriver og musikerSakprosaforfatter og lyriker David Whyte deler livskloke betraktninger over innholdet i en lang rekke dagligdagse ord som gradvis er blitt tappet for sin kraft og sin rikdom gjennom vår ukritiske eller unyanserte bruk. Ord som tap, hjertesorg, sårbarhet og frykt. Trøst består av korte essayistiske, visdomsfylte refleksjoner over meningsinnholdet i 52 hverdagslige ord, fra anger til ærlighet. En livsbejaende bok for den som er opptatt av mening og sammenheng, språkets verdi og vår gjensidige tilhørighet til ordene - og en invitasjon å endre og utvide vårt perspektiv på livet. David Whyte er bosatt på den nordamerikanske stillehavskysten. Han har bakgrunn som marinzoolog og har utgitt åtte lyrikkbøker og fire bøker med prosa.

Halvin toimitettuna 24,70 €

In Consolations David Whyte unpacks aspects of being human that many of us spend our lives trying vainly to avoid - loss, heartbreak, vulnerability, fear - boldly reinterpreting them, fully embracing their complexity, never shying away from paradox in his relentless search for meaning. Beginning with 'Alone' and closing with 'Withdrawal', each piece in this life-affirming book is a meditation on meaning and context, an invitation to shift and broaden our perspectives on life: pain and joy, honesty and anger, confession and vulnerability, the experience of feeling overwhelmed and the desire to run away from it all. Through this lens, procrastination may be a necessary ripening; hiding an act of freedom; and shyness something that accompanies the first stage of revelation. Consolations invites readers into a poetic and thoughtful consideration of words whose meaning and interpretation influence the paths we choose and the way we traverse them throughout our lives.

Corporate Human Rights Violations

Corporate Human Rights Violations

Stefanie Khoury; David Whyte

Routledge
2018
nidottu
This book develops an analysis of the historical, political and legal contexts behind current demands by NGOs and the United Nations Human Rights Council to hold corporations accountable for their human rights violations. Based on an analysis of the range of mechanisms of accountability that currently exist, it argues that that those demands are a response to the failure of neo-liberal policies that have dominated the practice of politics and law since the emergence of this debate in its current form in the 1970s. Offering a new approach to understanding how struggles for hegemony are refracted through a range of legal challenges to corporate human rights violations, the book offers a fresh perspective for understanding how those struggles are played out in the global sphere. In order to analyse the prospects for using human rights law to challenge the right of corporations to author human rights violations, the book explores the development of a range of political initiatives in the UN, the uses of tort law in domestic courts, and the uses of human rights law at the European Court of Human Rights and at the Inter-American Court of Human Rights. This book will be essential reading for all those interested in how international institutions and NGOs are both shaping and being shaped by global struggles against corporate power.

The Corporate Criminal

The Corporate Criminal

Steve Tombs; David Whyte

Routledge
2015
nidottu
Drawing upon a wide range of sources of empirical evidence, historical analysis and theoretical argument, this book shows beyond any doubt that the private, profit-making, corporation is a habitual and routine offender. The book dissects the myth that the corporation can be a rational, responsible, 'citizen'. It shows how in its present form, the corporation is permitted, licensed and encouraged to systematically kill, maim and steal for profit. Corporations are constructed through law and politics in ways that impel them to cause harm to people and the environment. In other words, criminality is part of the DNA of the modern corporation. Therefore, the authors argue, the corporation cannot be easily reformed. The only feasible solution to this 'crime' problem is to abolish the legal and political privileges that enable the corporation to act with impunity.
