The Gambling Century
Gambling captures as nothing else the drama of the "long eighteenth century" between the age of religious wars and the age of revolutions. The society that was confronted with games of chance pursued as commercial ventures also came to grips with unprecedented social mobility, floated by new wealth from new sources that created fortunes from trade in sugar, cotton, ivory, silk, tea, or enslaved human beings. Likewise, play for money was prominent in the public imagination as money itself, deployed through an ever expanding and ever more sophisticated range of mechanisms, increasingly invaded public awareness, as when prospective spouses in period fiction were rated in terms of annual income as if they were municipal bonds. Similarly, the archetypal figure of the gambler captured the imagination of the public in fiction, media, and politics. At the same time, new interest in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics - encouraged and bankrolled by those in power - fostered a new and unprecedented appreciation for mathematical probability and its applications, opening the possibility that games of chance might be pursued as a profitable commercial venture. The Gambling Century focuses like no previous work on those who enabled, facilitated, and profited from gambling, as well as on efforts to regulate or outlaw it. Using extensive archival material as well as printed sources, it follows its subjects from the Court to the coffeehouse, to private clubs and "at homes" in townhouses, all of which prefigure that quintessentially modern gambling space, the casino.

Chaotics
As the fallout from the financial meltdown of 2008 grows progressively worse, companies, industries, and entire markets cling precariously to life or have ceased to exist altogether. And the turbulence may not be over any time soon.In Chaotics, noted business strategists Philip Kotler and John Caslione present the intriguing, if unsettling, argument that these troubled times are not an aberration, but the new face of normal. In fact, the economic downturn is part of a continually oscillating Age of Turbulence, where both risk and opportunity are quickly felt around the world, now inexorably linked by globalism and technology. It's a world that chews up the unprepared, but rewards the prepared--those robust companies that have the ability to quickly anticipate and effectively respond to potential threats.Packed with illuminating examples of resilient companies that are successfully navigating turbulence, as well as many painful examples of bankrupt or soon-to-be defunct companies unprepared for the chaos that felled them, Chaotics provides deep insights and practical strategies for not only surviving the current economic down­turn, but also thriving amid the many slumps and spurts of prosperity that lie ahead.At the heart of this book is an innovative Chaotics Management System for minimizing vulnerability and exploiting opportunities--and putting your­self way ahead of your competitors, most of whom are clinging to the same old panic tactics of across-the-board staff cuts, deep price discounts, and slashed investments in marketing, branding, and new product development. The system out­lined here helps you completely rethink how you man­age and market during recession and other turbulent conditions, including how to: Develop early warning systems for identifying the first signs of upheaval, including disrup­tive innovations and shocksConstruct detailed worst-case, best-case, and most-expected-case scenarios using the strategies for effectively dealing with eachCut costs or enhance efficiency strategically in specific departments: finance, information technology, manufacturing, purchasing, and human resourcesSecure your market share from core customer segments--without decimating customer research and marketing budgetsCompress strategic planning into shorter, three-month time cycles to keep a closer read on the pulse of the companyPrevent the potentially catastrophic consequences of abandoning core principlesTimely, practical, and compelling, Chaotics is an indispensable guide for business leaders striving to survive today's economic storms and to prosper through the inevitable turbulence of tomorrow.
