Paperback. Zustand: Good. The traditional writing workshop was established with white male writers in mind; what we call craft is informed by their cultural values. In this bold and original examination of elements of writing - including plot, character, conflict, structure, and believability - Matthew Salesses asks questions to invigorate these familiar concepts. He upends Western notions of how a story must progress. How can we rethink craft, and the teaching of it, to better reach writers with diverse backgrounds? How can we invite diverse storytelling traditions into literary spaces. …

Hardback. Zustand: Good. A thought-provoking new book from one of America's finest historians "History," wrote James Baldwin, "does not refer merely, or even principally, to the past. On the contrary, the great force of history comes from the fact that we carry it within us, are unconsciously controlled by it in many ways, and history is literally present in all that we do."Rarely has Baldwin's insight been more forcefully confirmed than during the past few decades. History has become a matter of public controversy, as Americans clash over such things as museum presentations, the flying of the Confederate flag, or reparations for slavery. So whose history is being written? Who owns it?In W ho Owns History?, Eric Foner proposes his answer to these and other questions about the historian's relationship to the world of the past and future. He reconsiders his own earlier ideas and those of the pathbreaking Richard Hofstadter. He also examines international changes during the past two decades - globalization, the collapse of the Soviet Union, the end of apartheid in South Africa - and their effects on historical consciousness. He concludes with considerations of the enduring, but often misunderstood, legacies of slavery, the Civil War, and Reconstruction. This is a provocative, even controversial, study of the reasons we care about history - or should.…

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. A stirring and illuminating call to arms to transform how refugees are treated.Global refugee numbers are at their highest levels since the end of World War II, but the system in place to deal with them, based upon a humanitarian list of imagined "basic needs," has changed little. In Refuge, Paul Collier and Alexander Betts argue that the system fails to provide a comprehensive solution to the fundamental problem, which is how to reintegrate displaced people into society. Western countries deliver food, clothing, and shelter to refugee camps, but these sites, usually located in remote border locations, can make things worse. The numbers are stark: the average length of stay in a refugee camp worldwide is 17 years. Into this situation comes the Syria crisis, which has dislocated countless families, bringing them to face an impossible choice: huddle in dangerous urban desolation, rot in dilapidated camps, or flee across the Mediterranean to increasingly unwelcoming governments.Refuge seeks to restore moral purpose and clarity to refugee policy. Rather than assuming indefinite dependency, Collier-author of The Bottom Billion-and his Oxford colleague Betts propose a humanitarian approach integrated with a new economic agenda that begins with jobs, restores autonomy, and rebuilds people's ability to help themselves and their societies. Timely and urgent, the book goes beyond decrying scenes of desperation to declare what so many people, policymakers and public alike, are anxious to hear: that a long-term solution really is within reach.…

Hardback. Zustand: Very Good. ?A highly personal, richly informed and culturallywide-ranging meditation on the loss of meaning in our times and on pathways torediscovering it.? ?Gabor Maté, MD, author of In The Realm of Hungry Ghosts:Close Encounters With AddictionA neuroanthropologist maps out a revolutionary new practice?Hedonic Engineering?that combines the best of neuroscience and optimal psychology. It?s an intensive program of breathing, movement, and sexuality that mends trauma, heightens inspiration and tightens connections?helping us wake up, grow up, and show up for a world that needs us all.This is a book about a bigidea. And the idea is this: Slowly over the past few decades, and now suddenly,all at once, we?re suffering from a collapse in Meaning. Fundamentalism andnihilism are filling that vacuum, with consequences that affect us all. In aworld that needs us at our best, diseases of despair, tribalism, and disasterfatigue are leaving us at our worst.It?s vital that we regaincontrol of the stories we?re telling because they are shaping the future we?recreating. To do that, we have to remember our deepest inspiration, heal ourpain and apathy, and connect to each other like never before. If we can dothat, we?ve got a shot at solving the big problems we face. And if wecan?t?  Well, the dustbin of history has swallowed civilizations older andfancier than ours. This book is divided intothree parts. The first, Choose Your Own Apocalypse, takes a look atour current Meaning Crisis--where we are today, why it?s so hard to makesense of the world, what might be coming next, and what to do about it. It alsomakes a case that many of our efforts to cope, whether anxiety and denial, ortribalism and identity politics, are likely making things worse.The middle section, TheAlchemist Cookbook,  applies the creative firm IDEO?s design thinkingto the Meaning Crisis. This is where the book gets hands on--taking a look atthe strongest evolutionary drivers that can bring about inspiration, healing,and connection. From breathing, to movement, sexuality, music, andsubstances--these are the everyday tools to help us wake up, grow up, and showup. AKA--how to blow yourself sky high with household materials. And the bestpart? They?re accessible, by anyone anywhere, no middleman required.Transcendence democratized.The final third of thebook, Ethical Cult Building, focuses on the tricky nature ofputting these kinds of experiences into gear and into culture?because, anytimein the past when we?ve figured out combinations of peak states and deephealing, we?ve almost always ended up with problematic culty communities.Playing with fire has left a lot of people burned. This section lays out aroadmap for sparking a thousand fires around the world--each one unique andtailored to the needs and values of its participants. Think of it as anopen-source toolkit for building ethical culture.In Recapture theRapture, we?re taking radical research out of the extremes and applying itto the mainstream--to the broader social problem of healing, believing, andbelonging. It?s providing answers to the questions we face: how to replaceblind faith with direct experience, how to move from broken to whole, and howto cure isolation with connection. Said even more plainly, it shows us how torevitalize our bodies, boost our creativity, rekindle our relationships, andanswer once and for all the questions of why we are here and what do wedo now? In a world that needs the bestof us from the rest of us, this is a book that shows us how to get it done.…
