Book excerpt: "In this volume, Rieff advances his thesis that the third culture of disenchantment, which is now more widely and deeply entrenched than ever before as 'our' culture, is distinguished by its rejection of any and all visions of sacred order inherited from either first world cultures of fate or second world culture of faith." --introd.

Book excerpt: In this modern, media-saturated business and social environment, "crisis response" is most often dominated by communications concerns-ensuring the public, media, employees, and other stakeholders know: What has happened; What may happen next; and What you are doing about it. And with Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and other platforms, a fumbled, ineffective public response can mean the difference between a crisis that is managed... and a crisis that manages you. Chief Crisis Officer is built on the premise that every company and organization needs to identify a leader and structure for an effective and efficient crisis communications response. Using a mixture of real-life examples, analysis, and tactical guidance, this book breaks down crisis events into their component parts and provides both a strategic approach and the proper tools to enable the Chief Crisis Officer to assemble his or her team and respond when the inevitable crisis occurs. Getting ready-and effectively cleaning up the mess-is what Chief Crisis Officer is all about.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Philip Rieff has become out most learned and provocative critic of psychoanalytic thinking and of the compelling mind and character of its first proponent. Rieff's Freud: The Mind of the Moralist remains the sharpest exegesis yet to be done on the moral and intellectual implications of Freud's work. It was a critical masterpiece, worthy of the man who inspired it; and it is now followed by a work that suffers not at all in comparison. No review can do justice to the richness of The Triumph of the Therapeutic."—Robert Coles, New York Times Book Review "A triumphantly successful exploration of certain key themes in cultural life. Rieff's incidental remarks are not only illuminating in themselves; they suggest whole new areas of inquiry."—Alasdair MacIntyre, Guardian

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1950, when he commissioned the first edition of The Armed Forces Officer, Secretary of Defense George C. Marshall told its author, S.L.A. Marshall, that "American military officers, of whatever service, should share common ground ethically and morally." In this new edition, the authors methodically explore that common ground, reflecting on the basics of the Profession of Arms, and the officer's special place and distinctive obligations within that profession and especially to the Constitution.

Book excerpt: "This book explores the knowledge base and procedures necessary for a law enforcement leader to plan, mitigate, and respond to a crisis and the subsequent consequences. A feature of the textbook is that actual events are explored in a Lessons Learned section. This not only provides the law enforcement leader with lessons in what he or she should do, but also addresses those actions he or she should not take. The problems inherent in evacuations, emergency sheltering, sheltering in place, and access issues are discussed and problems such as interagency interfaces, Law Enforcement Incident Management System, and NIMS are addressed. Decision making is explored with legal concepts involving "who is in charge," forcible evacuations, scene access, and interagency operations. This textbook provides an overview and essential information for the law enforcement leader to identify the areas in which additional information, study, planning, and education are required"--

Book excerpt: From a profoundly influential social theorist comes a posthumously published analysis of the deepest level of crisis in our culture. “A compelling diagnosis of our condition.” —The Wall Street Journal According to Rieff, the contemporary notion of charisma—the personal magnetism of political leaders or movie stars—is a tragic misunderstanding of a profoundly important concept. Charisma originally meant religious grace and authority transferred through divine inspiration, before it evolved into little more than a form of celebrity stripped of moral considerations. Rieff argues that without morality, the gift of grace becomes indistinguishable from the gift of evil and devolves into a license to destroy in the name of faith or ideology. Offering brilliant interpretations of Kierkegaard, Weber, Kafka, Nietzsche, and Freud, Rieff shows how certain thinkers attacked the very possibility of faith and genuine charisma and helped prepare the way for a therapeutic culture in which it is impossible to recognize anything as sacred.
