Beyond traditional portraiture, Richard Kern's new works manifest a strong eroticism while incorporating the cinematic power of his earlier "Transgression" theme. His recent photographs with saturated color and stark, atmospheric lighting accentuate his pretty-but-not-perfect young nudes. Inspired, unique, and "real," his approach is as daring as ever in Soft. Still sticking with the "no airbrush" motto, Kern's unpretentious, honest photos draw the viewer in close. Kern's longstanding relationship with the "No-wave" scene, which incorporated music, performance, feminist art, and the punk lifestyle, is reflected and distilled in these photographs.

The only practical guidebook and desk reference for executives and front-line management seeking to apply a strategic and systematic approach to achieving organizational objectives and improving shareholder value and share-price performance through people in public and privately held organizations, government, and not-for-profits. Originally published in 2009 and now in its fifth edition, Enterprise Engagement for CEOs is the first roadmap for the implementation of Stakeholder Capitalism. This book offers a formal framework for the application of engagement principles across the enterprise and details the numerous tactics and applications of engagement in all segments of business and the economy. Enterprise Engagement differs from the traditional approach to employee and customer engagement in that it aligns engagement strategies and tactics across the organization to ensure efficiency and measurable success. Enterprise Engagement: The Roadmap is designed for the senior leaders in charge of strategic and tactical engagement plan development and for the front-line managers involved with implementation. It provides a desk reference to all the engagement strategies and tactics and how to better align them to achieve strategic or tactical goals. It provides a guide to developing ISO Annex SL and ISO 10018- conforming strategies and for auditing engagement processes, as well as information on engagement careers and applications for engagement in government and not-for profits. "By the time I finished reading Enterprise Engagement: The Roadmap my copy was filled with Post-it notes highlighting information I knew I would need to reference later. This book provides a complete guide to almost everything an organization needs to implement a strategic approach to engaging everyone in organizational goals in a systematic way." - Grace Swanson, Vice President, Human Capital, Accumold. "As a professor of marketing and entrepreneurship for most of my career, and founder of two leading companies in sales and marketing management, I know that delivering promises is one of the most critical strategies for success. Yet too many organizations fail to address the importance of engaging all stakeholders in organizational goals. Enterprise Engagement: The Roadmap is the only book I know that focuses on how to apply a strategic and tactical approach to engagement across the enterprise in a systematic way." - Gary Rhoads, Stephen Mack Covey Professor of Marketing Emeritus at the Marriot School of Business at Brigham Young University and Chairman of Xvoyant." "I have spent much of my career helping organizations develop great cultures, and in the end a successful strategy requires a CEO-led approach to connecting employees, managers, customers, vendors, suppliers, the community - everyone inside and outside the organization who has a stake in its success. I have repeatedly referenced almost every chapter in Enterprise Engagement: The Roadmap since the first edition came out, as it's the only book I know of that puts together in one place all the tactics needed to address engagement to achieve organizational results." - Barbara Porter, Executive Director, Ernst & Young.

From the origins of writing to today's computer-mediated communication, material technologies shape how we read and write, how we construe and share knowledge, and ultimately how we understand ourselves in relation to the world. However, communication technologies are themselves designed in particular social and cultural contexts and their use is adapted in creative ways by individuals. In this book, Richard Kern explores how technology matters to language and the ways in which we use it. Kern reveals how material, social and individual resources interact in the design of textual meaning, and how that interaction plays out across contexts of communication, different situations of technological mediation, and different moments in time. Showing how people have adapted visual forms to various media as well as to social needs, this study culminates in five fundamental principles to guide language and literacy education in a period of rapid technological and social change.

There's something odd about Kern's photographs. From bondage to leather to latex to guns, Kern is known for incorporating all of the elements of fetish imagery into his photos. These days, though, his girls are less equipped. They also smile a lot.

Illustrated with over 180 photographs, this book traces the career of New York's most infamous photographer/filmmaker, Richard Kern. John Waters said of one of Kern's notorious scum-bag Super-8 movies: 'Finger is the ultimate date movie for psychos. It's the best hillbilly-punk-art-porno movie in the world and I always show it to people very late at night to make them happy'.
