Book Synopsis How to Change the World by : David Bornstein
Download or read book How to Change the World written by David Bornstein and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2007-09-17 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: David Bornstein's How to Change the World is the first book to study a remarkable and growing group of individuals around the world--what Bornstein calls social entrepreneurs. These men and women are bringing innovative, and successful, grass-roots approaches to a wide variety of social and economic problems, from rural poverty in India to discrimination against gypsies in Central Europe; from industrial pollution in the United States to child prostitution in Thailand. Like business entrepreneurs, social entrepreneurs are creative, driven, and adventurous. The embrace change, exploit new opportunities, and think big. In How to Change the World, Bornstein provides vivid profiles of many such individuals, looking at the personalities, strategies, and techniques they have in common. The book is an In Search of Excellence for social initiatives, intertwining personal stories, anecdotes, and analysis. Readers will see how social entrepreneurs bring about structural changes in their societies--in other words, how one human being can make a difference. The case studies in the book include Jody Williams, who won the Nobel Peace Prize for the international campaign against landmines she ran by e-mail from her Vermont home; Roberto Baggio, a 31-year old Brazilian who has established eighty computer schools in the slums of Brazil; and Diana Propper, who has used investment banking techniques to make American corporations responsive to environmental dangers. The paperback edition will offer a new foreword by the author that shows how the concept of social entrepreneurship has expanded and unfolded over the last few years, including the Gates-Buffetts charitable partnership, the rise of Google, and the increased mainstream coverage of the subject. The book will also update the stories of individual social entrepreneurs that appeared in the cloth edition.
Book Synopsis A Great War Study by : Christopher B. Yardley
Download or read book A Great War Study written by Christopher B. Yardley and published by Military History. This book was released on 2019-09 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: SynopsisThe Great War Centenary commemorative postage stampsStamps, as time capsules, reflect the beliefs of the country at the time they are issued. Postal Authorities, many functioning as non-government organisations these days, take great care to design and send messages that are appropriate within a public awareness model and provide context to explain why the messages are relevant and serve a purpose for today.The Great War of 1914-1918 had a profound effect upon the history and future of the world and particularly in Europe. 100 years on the postal authorities, who use anniversaries as their prompts for remembrance, illustrate how history now sees the events that happened. There are shared experiences that have shaped events since in different directions. The Centenary of the Great War is a time for reflection of where we are now. Many countries suffered huge losses. Killed and wounded; so much that it is a period etched into the social psyche of the world. This analysis establishes that 69 country's / postal authorities made the decision to commemorate the Great War with the issue of almost 1200 postage stamps. The nature of the content and design from most countries reflects their style and culture, so much so that the viewer can work out from whence the stamp has come. The politics of the country can be assessed and also the changes in policy over 100 years. Who would have thought that Germany would issue just a single image over the five years of the Centenary imploring 'No more war' or the United States modestly suggesting their entry into the War had helped 'turn the tide.'Assembled into the single document is a kaleidoscope of sensibility as well as many images of the carnage that occurred. The imagination is stimulated but at the end of the day it is a sad story - so much wasted

Book Synopsis Masters of the Post by : Duncan Campbell-Smith
Download or read book Masters of the Post written by Duncan Campbell-Smith and published by Penguin UK. This book was released on 2011-11-03 with total page 840 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The origins of the Post Office go back to the early years of the Tudor monarchy: Brian Tuke, a former King's Bailiff in Sandwich, was acknowledged as the first 'Master of the Posts' by Cardinal Wolsey in 1512, and went on to build up a network of 'postmasters' across England for Henry VIII. Over the following five hundred years the Royal Mail expanded to an unimaginable degree to become the largest employer in the country, and the face of the British state for most people in their everyday lives. But it also faced the demands of an increasingly commercial marketplace. With the election of Margaret Thatcher in 1979, the possibility of privatising the Royal Mail has prompted passionate arguments - and has added immeasurably to the difficulties of running it. In charting the whole of this extraordinary story, Duncan Campbell-Smith recounts a series of remarkable tales, including how postal engineers built the first programmable computer for the wartime code-breakers of Bletchley Park and how the Royal Mail managed to successfully continue delivering post to the front lines during two world wars, but also how they failed to avert the Great Train Robbery of 1963. He brings to life many of the dominant personalities in the Royal Mail's history - from Rowland Hill, who imposed a uniform penny post and set the great Victorian expansion on its way, to Tony Benn who championed the modernisation of the service in the 1960s and Tom Jackson who led the postal workers' biggest union through fifteen frequently stormy years up to 1982. This is the first complete history of the Royal Mail up to the present day, based on its comprehensive archives, and including the first detailed account of the past half-century of Britain's postal history, made possible by privileged access to confidential records. Today's debate over the future of the Royal Mail is shown to be just the ;atest chapter in a centuries-old conflict between its roles raising revenue and serving the public. Will its employees remain, like Brian Tuke's postmasters, servants of the Crown? This book could hardly appear at a more timely moment.

Book Synopsis Dispossession and the Making of Jedda by : Catherine Kevin
Download or read book Dispossession and the Making of Jedda written by Catherine Kevin and published by Anthem Press. This book was released on 2020-08-31 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Dispossession and the Making of Jedda (1955)' newly locates the story of the genesis of the iconic 1955 film ‘Jedda’ (dir. Chauvel) and, in turn, ‘Jedda’ becomes a cultural context and point of reference for the history of race relations it tells. It spans the period 1930–1960 but is focused on the 1950s, the decade when Charles Chauvel looked to the ample resources of his friends in the rich pastoral Ngunnawal country of the Yass Valley to make his film. This book has four locations. The homesteads of the wealthy graziers in the Yass Valley and the Hollywood Mission in Yass town are its primary sites. Also relevant are the Sydney of the cultural and moneyed elites, and the Northern Territory where ‘Jedda’ was made. Its narrative weaves together stories of race relations at these four sites, illuminating the film’s motifs as they are played out in the Yass Valley, against a backdrop of Sydney and looking North towards the Territory. It is a reflection on family history and the ways in which the intricacies of race relations can be revealed and concealed by family memory, identity and myth-making. The story of the author, as the great granddaughter, great-niece and cousin of some of those who poured resources into the film, both disrupts and elaborates previously ingrained versions of her family history.
