Professor Robert Barlow from Hult International Business School joins Jennifer + Kati to explore how business schools can effectively teach sustainability and ESG in an evolving political landscape. From building Hult's highly-ranked sustainability curriculum to his current research on Chief Sustainability Officers, Rob discusses why business education needs to develop new frameworks for measuring impact, why sustainability roles can't simply be distributed across organizations, and how today's MBA students are approaching these topics differently than previous generations.

BIBLIOTECA SUBMERSA é a nova série de episódios do Podcast da Raphus Press, uma ironia bastante séria com o conceito de canônico e marginal, de popular e elitista, de aceito e não aceito, a partir das obras de autores que, aparentemente, tinham alguma influência (ou relevância) de certas obras ou autores no passado e que, hoje, parecem ausentes das livrarias, cadernos culturais, canais de vídeo na Internet. Nossa inspiração é Jorge Luis Borges e uma conhecida citação de Virginia Woolf: “Livros usados são selvagens, destituídos; surgem em grandes bandos de penas variadas e possuem certo encanto que falta aos volumes domesticados de uma biblioteca.” Episódio de hoje: Horizonte noturno avermelhado (a experiência “Blood Meridian”) Obras citadas: “Blood Meridian or The Evening Redness in the West”, Cormac McCarthy (Picador, 2010); “Entre paréntesis: ensayos, artículos y discursos (1998-2003)”, Roberto Bolaño (Editorial Anagrama, 2004).

We're back with a different sort of episode! Isaac and special guest Dalton delve deep into the late great, Cormac McCarthy and his magnum opus; Blood Meridian. We are not literary critics or published authors, just two friends having an honest conversation about a book that we both love. BM is a difficult book to get through at times but we do our best in seeing through the violence and inhospitable landscapes and look for the meaning behind it all. Pulling from Samuel Chamberlains, My Confession, we also look briefly into the history behind the villain of all villains, Judge Holden, and the leader of the gang, John Joel Glanton. We would love to hear your thoughts on Blood Meridian at lostpagespod@gmail.com.
This week, host Basant Kumar is joined by The Reporters' Collective journalist Shreegireesh Jalihal.Shreegireesh had reported how an NRI businessman, linked to the BJP, had sent a proposal to the Niti Aayog to corporatise the agriculture sector – paving the way to the farm laws that were repealed after wide-spread protests. He divulged his findings regarding the making of the controversial laws and shed light on how a government-appointed task force served as a “lobbying platform for corporates”. He also shared that the government's task force consulted mostly big corporations such as the Adani group, Patanjali, BigBasket, Mahindra Group and ITC. He delved into how farm laws accommodated corporate interest at the cost of the farmers' welfare. He also highlighted that the Adani group had advocated to remove restrictions on corporates hoarding agricultural commodities.Tune in.Timecodes00:00:00 - Introduction00:01:18 - Farm law committee00:37:10 - RecommendationsRecommendationsShreegireeshBlood Meridian: Or, the Evening Redness in the WestJujutsu KaisenBasantIn Farmers' NamePrem Gali Ati Sankaree (A Novel)Produced by Saif Ali Ekram, recorded by Anil Kumar, and edited by Umrav Singh Gurjar.

Editor and literary critic Oscar Villalon joins V.V. Ganeshananthan and Whitney Terrell to celebrate the life and legacy of the novelist Cormac McCarthy, who died last month. The hosts and Villalon reflect on McCarthy's vast vocabulary and cinematic descriptions, in which he juxtaposed lyrical prose with graphic violence. Villalon considers McCarthy's use of regionally accurate Spanish in the Border Trilogy as evidence of the author's broad understanding of the U.S.'s multilingual diversity. Villalon also reads and discusses a passage from McCarthy's 1994 novel The Crossing, the second book in the trilogy.

Today, on the Surgical Fiction Podcast, chapter 1 of Brandan Dragan's exceptional literary novel, THE WAGES OF GRACE. The book is available if not right now, then very shortly, from Audible. Perhaps what I loved best about narrating this book is the beautiful writing. There is a beautiful story, but for it to really shine—and this shines mightily—one has to have the words to polish that shine. So often we read a book and can say it was good, but in retrospect it could have been so much better. That better comes in the arrangement and use of words on the page to not just tell a story but to sing it to us. Such books may have horrendous content, Cormac McCarthy's brilliant but horrifying novel Blood Meridian, or the Evening Redness in the West is one such example, but the writing transcends the subject matter and sings to us. Every word transports us. We feel the highs and lows, the agony and the passion, the goodness and badness of every instant. The author, through their writing, does not just carry us along, they embrace us. The unwritten pact between author and reader [wherein the reader agrees to come along for the ride and the author promises that ride will be not only worth the reader's time and effort, it will be satisfying as well] is fully realized in such books. I thought The Wages of Grace was quite well written and fully satisfying. There was nothing that rang as false. Thierry's world was fully realized. It's a lovely book, and ultimately a love story between a man and...well, I'll let the reader/listener decide. The full unabridged production of THE WAGES OF GRACE is available on Audible today. https://www.audible.com/pd/B0BFBZZJP1?qid=1663200125&sr=1-16&ref=a_search_c3_lProduct_1_16&pf_rd_p=83218cca-c308-412f-bfcf-90198b687a2f&pf_rd_r=PT0FBSQRNKNBDRHMVJSX To hear more from Edison, listen to all episodes of THE SURGICAL FICTION PODCAST, right now right here! https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-surgical-fiction-podcast/id1547756675 #podcast #audio #audiobook #Audible #fiction #nonfiction ★★★★★
The 14th episode is a ride into the evening redness in the west as your hosts consider one of the more notorious books on our short list: Cormac McCarthy's epic subversive western, BLOOD MERIDIAN, or, The Evening Redness in the West. This 1985 tome of McCarthy's has engaged constant discussion and speculation due to the high poetry of its language and the stark horror of its violence. Saddle up and touch your heels to your horse to hear our wide-ranging discussion of this novel.The Great American Novel podcast is an ongoing discussion about the novels we hold up as significant achievements in our American literary culture.

As we reckon with the violent settler-colonial basis of our cities, Dallas talks with Adam Morton about a recent literary economy analysis of Cormac McCarthy's Blood Meridian. Adam published this reflection recently in the journal Political Geography. It is titled A Geography of Blood Meridian: Primitive accumulation on the frontier of space (see: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0962629821001463) There is a factual husk to Cormac McCarthy's novel Blood Meridian; or The Evening Redness of the West, based on the real spaces and historical occurrences of a group of filibusterers, or mercenaries, based in the United States that engage in racialised acts of scalping Native Americans licensed by the state in Mexico between the 1840s and 1850s. How are these conditions of settler-colonialism to be approached in the novel and what meaning do they convey about past and present experiences of violent dispossession of land, life and territory? By advancing an approach to world literature covering literary studies, geographical studies and political economy, Adam Morton argues that Blood Meridian should be considered a quintessential novel of the racial and historical geography of the frontier economy and its spatial expansion within the uneven conditions of capitalist development. Blood Meridian can therefore be understood as both a novel about the constitution of the frontier economy and Indigenous defiance, resistance and survival. Join us for a series of fascinating conversations about some of the most interesting books about cities and urban life.

Could probably fill up multiple podcasts with this author. An American and Western writer of first order. Unlike our first episodes we don't really deviate much into other authors - though Will gives some interesting personal accounts. Come sit in the bookstore for a while.
Let's head out west to experience one of the most merciless books we've ever read. You've probably heard about Blood Meridian before, but you've definitely never seen the movie (let's pray they never make it). To be fair, though, we at least had a good time discussing the book. Giddy-Up!

"The truth about the world, he said, is that anything is possible. Had you not seen it all from birth and thereby bled it of its strangeness it would appear to you for what it is, a hat trick in a medicine show, a fevered dream, a trance bepopulate with chimeras having neither analogue nor precedent, an itinerant carnival, a migratory tentshow whose ultimate destination after many a pitch in many a mudded field is unspeakable and calamitous beyond reckoning.The universe is no narrow thing and the order within it is not constrained by any latitude in its conception to repeat what exists in one part in any other part. Even in this world more things exist without our knowledge than with it and the order in creation which you see is that which you have put there, like a string in a maze, so that you shall not lose your way. For existence has its own order and that no man's mind can compass, that mind itself being but a fact among others."— Cormac McCarthy (Blood Meridian, or the Evening Redness in the West)SCRYFALL.COM Random Magic Card Generator | Random Word GeneratorEmail the podcast at: podcast.hooked@gmail.comSubscribe to us on ITUNES, STITCHER, SPOTIFY, RADIOPUBLIC or your podcatcher of choice.Find us on FACEBOOK, TWITTER or INSTAGRAM.

John Joel Glanton, veteran of both the Texas Revolution and the Mexican American War, was survivor of Goliad, a former Texas Ranger, all around badass decorated war hero and also a mercenary, outlaw, scalp hunter & murderer, Hired by the Mexican government to keep the violent Apache’s at bay, Glanton and his gang went rogue, killing and scalping anyone and everyone they could get a hold of. Apaches, peaceful tribes, Mexican citizens, even women. The Glanton Gang is the real life inspiration behind Cormac McCarthy’s Blood Meridian. And like Blood Meridian, we’re gonna go dark on this most recent extra bloody episode of Bloody Beaver Podcast.
That day they discoursed in a cool and oft solitudinous basement. Eric and Nick and Dean Rader of the University of San Francisco examined Blood Meridian or the Evening Redness in the West and inquired what Cormac McCarthy had in mind. Sulphurous and detached and surgically endeavored as that mind may be. They passed through the beauty and bleakness of the prose and the ruinous afterimage of the bloodstained vacancies of emotions firestoked and withheld. They glanced upon the ragged edges of representations of history and race and staccato swells of animalistic fervor. The judge! His judgeness! Gunpowder manufactured in a swatch of Miltonlike fury. Bloodslaked heart strings pulled by feats of erudition and eloquence. Interpretations laggard and dusty slithered out of flattened enormity. Agecurled pictures of America at its genesis and at its present left naked and creaking to wrench a somnolent populace from dreams into harsh plumes of introspection and reckoning.
If we're going to talk about depression and anxiety, we can't help but get around to the subject of guns. We *don't* discuss gun control. We discuss owner competency and responsible gun *management*. Moreover, we discuss mental health as it relates to gun availability.Also, guys, this show might say "depression" on the tin. But it's gonna be bad for our own mental health if that's *all* we ever talk about.

In a departure from the normal shenanigans, the Can You Hear Me team puts on their thinking caps and discuss the novel Blood Meridian by Cormac McCarthy. On of the crew's favorite fellow podcasters, Brad from the Below the Belt podcast joins them to add the perspective of a historian to the discussion. Below the Belt is a Mixed Martial Arts podcast with historical twist. Brad cohosts Below the Belt with his friend Ryan. The Below the Belt podcast is part of the Blowout Podcast Network and is one of the Can You Hear boys' favorite weekly podcasts. Blood Meridian or The Evening Redness in the West was first published in 1985 by Cormac McCarthy and is by many accounts, one of the finest novels ever written in the history of American literature. Brad has a background in 19th century American and Mexican history and he was kind enough to join the guys for this special episode. The novel is stark and often times disturbing look at life on the Mexican frontier in the early 1850's. It follows a young man, simply known as "the kid" as he joins in with a band of filibusters who take on a commission to collect the scalps of Comanches and Apaches who during that time were conducting raids along the borderlands of Northern Mexico. The gang of scalphunters themselves devolve into savagery and McCarthy documents this devolution with clipped yet descriptive prose that conveys the violence and the oppressive environmental elements which at times act as characters in the narrative themselves. The four friends bring four different viewpoints to the discussion and each find different meanings from this scant yet dense novel. Much to McCarthy's credit, Blood Meridian is a novel which it seems each person who reads it, takes away a different meaning. The group discusses the novel from historic, literary, psychological and religious perspectives. A novel of such imagery and violence is full of disturbing events and themes. The team tackles them head on and eventually stumbles into spoilers of the story for anyone who may not have read it. But with such a complex subject, the themes and elements of Blood Meridian cannot be discussed thoroughly without talking about the cryptic and much debated ending. Despite the seriousness of the novel, the guys can't help themselves from making their normal style of irreverent jokes, but in this case at a much lower rate of fire. Many thanks to Brad from Below the Belt for appearing on this week's episode. Hopefully, he will return at some point in the future.

Epigraph We’re here on episode number 5 with Liberty Hardy, contributing editor at Book Riot and co-host of the All the Books! podcast. In addition to this LibSyn landing page, you can find us on Tumblr or stream the episode on iTunes and Stitcher. Follow us on Twitter at @drunkbookseller for updates, book recs, and general bookish shenanigans. Bitches in Bookshops Our theme music is awesome. Bitches in Bookshops comes to us with permission from Annabelle Quezada. Introduction [0:30] In Which We Drink PBR and Discuss ALL THE BOOKS Coming Out in October In addition to her Book Riot work, Liberty is a roaming bookseller, former bookseller at RiverRun Bookstore in New Hampshire, judge for Bookspan’s Book of the Month Club, volunteer librarian, and self-proclaimed velocireader. Drink of the Day: Pabst Blue Ribbon. Yes, that PBR.

Liberty’s reading Mrs. Engels by Gavin McCrea, Twain’s End by Lynn Cullen, and Monsters: The Hindenburg Disaster and the Birth of Pathological Technology by Ed Regis. October is a very exciting month for books, amiright? Welcome to Night Vale by Joseph Fink and Jeffrey Cranor Slade House by David Mitchell The Witches: Salem, 1692 by Stacy Schiff Witches of America by Alex Mar Science of the Magical: From the Holy Grail to Love Potions to Superpowers by Matt Kaplan Plotted: A Literary Atlas by Andrew Degraff and Daniel Harmon Our Spoons Came from Woolworths by Barbara Comyns Last Night’s Reading: Illustrated Encounters with Extraordinary Authors by Kate Gavino We Five by Mark Dunn The Mare by Mary Gaitskill Avenue of Mysteries by John Irving The Givenness of Things: Essays by Marilynne Robinson Numero Zero by Umberto Eco Radiance by Catherynne M. Valente Also mentioned: The Penguin Book of Witches by Katherine Howe, Ella Minnow Pea: A Novel in Letters by Mark Dunn, various books by Cat Valente (Six-Gun Snow White, Deathless, Speak Easy) Chapter I [16:45] In Which Liberty Doesn’t Have To Wear Pants, Tells Us Her Secret to Reading ALL the Books, and Gives Us a Tour of Her Library and Cat B&B Liberty’s last official brick-and-mortar bookselling gig was at RiverRun Bookstore in Portsmouth, NH. Now she talks about books on the interwebz at Book Riot and doesn’t have to wear pants, which seems like a pretty sweet deal to me. Originally posted by nevadatrek If you’re not listening to Liberty’s podcast every week, you should. Like, stop reading this and go listen to All the Books! instead. We’ll wait. Want to read like a bookseller? You can score advanced digital copies of books from NetGalley and Edelweiss. Learn more about Edelweiss here. Fun Fact: The average person reads 215 words per minute. Liberty reads 536 words a minute. How do you match up? Liberty only sleeps 3 to 4 hours a night. So, that’s a thing. Originally posted by redbullmediahouse Chapter II [31:30] In Which Gary Shteyngart Writes a Successful Blurb, A Giant Crate of Books Washes Up On Liberty’s Desert Island, Liberty’s fav local bookstore haunt is Water Street Bookstore in Exeter, NH. She also “accidentally” bought a bunch of books from Small Beer Press in the middle of the night (including The Liminial War by Ayize Jama-Everett and Kalpa Imperial by Angélica Gorodischer, translated byUrsula K. Le Guin). And she gives a big shout out to Sherman’s Books in Portland, ME and their store manager Josh Christie who, spoiler alert, is our next guess on Drunk Booksellers! Liberty’s a judge for Bookspan’s Book of the Month Club. Sounds rad. Liberty’s wheelhouse: anything compared to Kurt Vonnegut or The Secret History by Donna Tartt We talk blurbs. Gary Shteyngart blurbs everything, including this gem about Sloane Crosley’s new novel: “The Clasp reads like The Goonieswritten by Lorrie Moore.” It’s kinda brilliant. Liberty’s Desert Island Books: The Westing Game by Ellen Raskin, The Giant’s House by Elizabeth McCracken, The Known World by Edward P. Jones, The Secret History by Donna Tartt, The Sorrows of a Young Werther by Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe, My Name is Asher Levby Chaim Potok Station Eleven Books: Blood Meridian: Or the Evening Redness in the West by Cormac McCarthy, Pat the Bunny by Dorothy Kunhardt, a Charles Portis book other than True Grit Wild Book: Calvin & Hobbes by Bill Watterson.

That’s probably cheating… Originally posted by gifsboom Chapter III [42:45] In Which We Make Authors Awkward with Our Literary Tattoos Go to Handsell: Ella Minnow Pea: A Novel in Letters by Mark Dunn, The Lost City of Z: A Tale of Deadly Obsession in the Amazon by David Grann, The Devil in the White City: Murder, Magic, and Madness at the Fair That Changed America Trade Book by Erik Larson Impossible Handsell: The Talented Mr. Ripley by Patricia Highsmith,Tampa by Alissa Nutting Liberty’s Literary Tattoos include: “What a punishing business it is simply being alive.” -from The Little Stranger by Sarah Waters “Because it is bitter, And because it is my heart.” -from ”In the Desert” Stephen Crane Goodbye Blue Monday Bomb from Breakfast of Champions by Kurt Vonnegut Baba Yaga Chicken Leg House from Hellboy Juice Box w/ Drink Umbrella from The Tick Last Book Gifted: M Train by Patti Smith Liberty has very literary cats.

Meanwhile, at the Horse's Head Inn, a terrible discovery threatens to cut short Gwen and Arlene's newfound romantic bliss. And our stalwart Narrator confesses that he has run out of events with which to delay the recounting of the Battle of Freehold and its aftermath. The climactic conclusion of Book 1 is coming next.

As they wait for the rendezvous with Ry'y lo-Th'yyt (and hopefully the fulfillment of her promise of assisatnce), Nia and Regan consider the wages of their struggles so far. But far away, in the icy seas of the south, a spurned foe plots his next move. (Spoiler: It's Renault. That dipsh*t). There are only TWO (2!) episodes left in Book One. The next episode will be released on August 16. And be sure to like/follow/subscribe for some very exciting upcoming announcements.

In this, the premiere of Book 1's final chapter, Generals Riverfell and Traft make one last doomed attempt to reach terms before the Battle of Freehold begins in earnest. The fate of the Human Realms of Iorden hang in the balance. Fresh off their new and hard-earned revelations, the Kids take an active role in combat. But the Narrator, in a rare moment of blatant editorializing, expresses dread at having to recount what comes next. Our next episode will be coming in early August.
