Photographs from the edge : a master photographer's insights on capturing an extraordinary world
\"Art Wolfe, one of the world's most celebrated nature photographers, recounts the stories behind the images of forty years of expeditionary photography capturing vanishing and rarely seen lands, creatures, and populations often at the edge of extinction. Legendary photographer Art Wolfe recounts the stories behind the images of forty years of expeditionary photography capturing vanishing lands, creatures, and peoples at the edge of extinction. Wolfe and co-author Rob Sheppard transportv readers, while carrying on a dialog about photography, technique & process, world travel, close calls and photographic opportunities both taken and missed. From the rich sights and smells of the Pushkar Camel Fair to the exact moment when a polar bear and her cubs leave their arctic den, Photographs from the Edge represents what Wolfe has lived for: the instances when circumstance, light, and subject miraculously collide to form an iconic image. Many of these photographs can never be duplicated as cultures and landscapes are transformed and wildlife diminishes or disappears all together. Whether discussing his photographs of endangered lands, peoples, or wildlife, Wolfe regales readers with the stories behind the photographs and helps them experience life on the world's most unique photo safari. Photographs from the Edge is a lifetime of experience distilled into a rich photographic education\"-- Provided by publisher.

Reflections on Business Ethics: What Is It? What Causes It? And, What Should A Course In Business Ethics Include?
Business ethics courses have been launched with professors from business pulling on one oar, and professors of philosophy pulling on the other, but they lack a sense of direction. Let's begin with the basics: What is an ehtical decision? More fundamentally, why the interest in professional ethics in the first place? There are over 300 centers for the study of applied ethics in this country-why? The events which face our society today (income and wealth disparity, environmental degradation, etc.) are outside the business-oriented collection of shared beliefs that set our public policy agenda. Our beliefs are too narrow, thus we see, understand, and control small slices of life. Business ethics should be the study of the structure and impact on us of what we call \"business science,\" e.g., accounting, marketing, economics, law, etc., and the corresponding study of the process of what Carl Jung called individuation: learning to become one's own unique self in the face of these bodies of professional knowledge which have structured our lives and charted the direction for our sensibilities for too long.

Human canvas
What does it mean to be human? In Human Canvas, Art Wolfe uses his exceptional photography and his background in fine-art painting to transform skin into an abstract landscape. Inspired by the body-painting traditions of indigenous peoples Wolfe has photographed worldwide, and particularly those in Ethiopia and Papua New Guinea, Wolfe set out to present his own take on this art form and explore concepts of universal beauty. Through the use of lines, patterns, textures, and unusual points of view, Wolfe abstracts the human form and creates a unique and captivating look of the human body as art. The result is an energised expression of both artistic mastery and cultural impact.

POWER IN THE AMERICAN ECONOMY: A REVIEW AND COMMENTARY
Power, its sources, its means, its objects, and its control are terribly neglected subjects of study in our economic society. Today, the matter of economic power is hidden from view. It is out of sight and mind, especially in the university business curriculum, where it may be buried under course titles such as business ethics and corporate social respon- sibility. Instead of studying power in our economy, we study economics, accounting, business law, marketing, finance, management, operations research, and more.
