Billy Bragg
The Progressive Patriot: A Search for Belonging

2007 y.
Publisher: Transworld Publishers
Description: A passionate and brilliant polemic on the meaning of national identity in modern Britain. In a world where British citizens can lay bombs to kill their countrymen and where religious fundamentalism and political fanaticism are on the increase, what does patriotism actually mean? The Progressive Patriot is singer-songwriter Billy Bragg’s urgent, eloquent and passionate response to the events of July 7, 2005 when four bombs tore through a busy morning rush hour in London, killing 52 innocent people and injuring many more. A firm believer in toleration and diversity, and someone The Times recently described as “a national treasure,” Billy Bragg felt hemmed in by fascists on one side and religious fanatics on the other. The suicide bombers were all British-born and well integrated into a multicultural society. Yet they felt no compunction in murdering and maiming their fellow citizens. Did they feel they did not belong? What does it really mean to be British? Is it conferred… [detailed...]

The Progressive Revolution: How the Best in America Came to Be

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: This is an accessible book that delineates how progressives and the progressive movement have created the American idea and ideals and forged the kind of country in which we want to live. It creates a platform from which to argue how progressives today are fighting to improve America, in contrast to how conservatives have always worked to defend the interests of elites. Each chapter will tell the reader a story focusing on different subjects, such as efforts to enact civil rights laws, social security, the middle class, how the idea of America changed the world, and why most of us can vote. Lux points out what he feels the Democrats have done wrong during the last decades and how the lessons of history can point to making positives changes. Lux shows how the progressives have been instrumental in creating big positive change moments, and argues that as a new administration takes office in 2009 the time will be ripe for a new big change moment,.

The Project 50 (Reinventing Work): Fifty Ways to Transform Every `Task` into a Project That Matters!

1999 y.
Publisher: Knopf
Description: The common denominator/bottom line for both the professional service firm/PSF and the individual/Brand You is: the project. And for the cool individual in the cool professional service firm there is only one answer: the cool project. A seminar participant said: `Reward excellent failures. Punish mediocre successes.` So, how many of you are at work -- right now -- on `mediocre successes`? At work on projects that won`t be recalled, let alone recalled with fondness and glee, a year from now? We don`t study professional service firms. (Mistake.) And we don`t study WOW Projects. (Worse mistake.) There is, of course, a project management literature. But it`s awful. Or, at least, misleading. It focuses almost exclusively on the details of planning and tracking progress and totally ignores the important stuff like: Is it cool? Is it beautiful? Will it make a difference? My No.1 epithet: `On time . . . on budget . . . who cares?` I.e., does it matter? Will you be bragging about it… [detailed...]

Often hired by a secret government agency to do undercover work, he was escorting a mysterious woman named Novak to the White House when they were ambushed by gunmen. Novak used a device like an invisibility field to make an impossible escape-and then knocked Devaney out with some kind of ray-tube. When he woke up, Novak was about to terminate him for knowing too much, but a message arrived from a mysterious individual known as Mr. Inconnu: Devaney was to be recruited for something called the Prometheus Project. The Project turned outto be the largest disinformation operation in history, targeted at the aliens who ruled the galaxy. Mr. Inconnu had arrived in a damaged but highly advanced craft in the 1940s with the information that he had escaped from a group of humans whom aliens… [detailed...]

The Promise of Mediation: The Transformative Approach to Conflict

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: The award-winning first edition of The Promise of Mediation , published ten years ago, is a landmark classic that changed the field`s understanding of the theory and practice of conflict intervention. That volume first articulated the `transformative model` of mediation, which greatly humanized the vision of how the mediation process could help parties in conflict. In the past decade, the transformative model has proved itself and gained increasing acceptance. It is now being used in such diverse arenas as workplace, community, family, organizational, and public policy conflicts, among others. In this new edition, the authors draw on a decade of work in theory development, training, practice, research, and assessment to present a thoroughly revised and updated account of the transformative model of mediation and its practical application, including a compelling description of how the field has moved toward increasing acceptance of the transformative… [detailed...]

The Promise: Black Youth Confront the Cauldron of Apartheid

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: For Donald Tsolo-Phae to most-it was infuriating to be young and black in apartheid South Africa. Early on, Phae`s father instilled the belief that South Africa`s survival rested on the next generation`s shoulders. With education, Phae and his cohorts could advance black equality. Believing oppression and suffering would stop, though, was optimistic. When Phae`s friend Nyakane is beaten by Afrikaner police for rescuing a drowning white boy and administering CPR, Phae and his friends are fundamentally altered. Goal-directed discussions replace informal conversations. Meetings become organized and planned. Talks on incendiary bombs, firearms, and the black struggle for freedom overtake their light-hearted banter. Remedying apartheid in the early 1950s was unlikely, however. Phae thus committed himself to the anti-apartheid weapon with the highest likelihood of success-education. Making his way to Pius XII University College, he is elected chairman of the local branch of the outlawed Pan… [detailed...]
