Book excerpt: One of the most original, dazzling, and critically acclaimed debut novels this year. In this debut novel, hailed by Stephen King as ?terrifying, touching, and wildly funny,? the stories of two strangers, Eugene Brentani and Mr. Schmitz, interweave. What unfolds is a bold reinvention of storytelling in which Eugene, a devotee of the reclusive and monstrous author, Constance Eakins, and Mr. Schmitz, who has been receiving ominous letters from an old friend, embark from New York for Italy, where the line between imagination and reality begins to blur and stories take on a life of their own.

Book Synopsis State Institutions, Civic Associations, and Identity Demands by : Amy H. Liu
Download or read book State Institutions, Civic Associations, and Identity Demands written by Amy H. Liu and published by University of Michigan Press. This book was released on 2024-03-12 with total page 317 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While the media tends to pay the most attention to violent secessionist movements or peaceful independence movements, it is just as important to understand why there are regions where political movements for autonomy fail to develop. In neglecting regions without political movements or full-blown independence demands, theories may be partial at best and incorrect at worst. State Institutions, Civic Associations, and Identity Demands examines over a dozen regions, comparing and contrasting successful cases to abandoned, unsuccessful, or dormant cases. The cases range from successful secession (East Timor, Singapore) and ongoing secessionist movements (Southern Philippines), to internally divided regional movements (Kachin State), low-level regionalist stirrings (Lanna, Taiwan), and local but not regional mobilization of identity (Bali, Minahasan), all the way to failed movements (Bataks, South Maluku) and regions that remain politically inert (East and North Malaysia, Northeast Thailand). While each chapter is written by a country expert, the contributions rely on a range of methods, from comparative historical analysis, to ethnography, field interviews, and data from public opinion surveys. Together, they contribute important new knowledge on little-known cases that nevertheless illuminate the history of regions and ethnic groups in Southeast Asia. Although focused on Southeast Asia, the book identifies the factors that can explain why movements emerge and successfully develop and concludes with a chapter by Henry Hale that illustrates how this can be applied globally.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Five rich kids from Chicago's Gold Coast get an idea to advance their careers as artists. They'll create a fictitious street gang, the Blood Street Punx, and start painting murals all over town. Their paintings will knock people's eyes out. The Blood Street Punx will be depicted as huge, fearsome, all but mythical figures. People will have to take notice.People do notice. The wrong people.In short order, the city's real gangs see the murals for these new Punx on their turf -- and they don't like it. When the Punx are connected to the destruction of one gang's drug cache, war is declared on them.That's not the Punx only worry. A Chicago cop nicknamed "Lady Die" is given the job of tracking them down. She's fallen out of favor with the department, has a "brick" on her career, and finding the new gang becomes her only task. That's bad for the Punx because she's a lot smarter than any street thug, So what are the Punx going to do now? The same thing any rich, young group of artists would do: Paint their masterpiece as fast as they can.
Book Synopsis Ensuring All Children Learn by : Ishmael I. Munene
Download or read book Ensuring All Children Learn written by Ishmael I. Munene and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2021-08-23 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ensuring All Children Learn: Lessons from the South on What Works in Equity and Inclusion brings together a rich tapestry of cases from three southern continents focusing on issues germane to the access, learning, and retention in basic education in the context of Education for All (EFA). It is a narrative of both the disappointment that the implementation of EFA did not go as envisaged and of policy alternatives and hopes for a brighter future. The focus on Africa, Asia, and Latin America permits the reader to appreciate both the diversity of issues central to EFA and the physical spread of the challenges. The book confirms that whereas southern countries have adopted EFA as an overall policy goal, empirical evidence from the case studies uncovers critical lapses in policies and strategies. Four key issues inform the thematic analysis in the book: the overall experience in implementing EFA, the specific challenges faced, the lessons learned, and prospects for the future. The solutions to these challenges provide avenues for the attainment of basic education for all school-eligible children in tandem with the UN Sustainable Development Goal 4 on education.

Download or read book The Mayors written by Paul M. Green and published by SIU Press. This book was released on 2013-01-10 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally released in 1987, The Mayors: The Chicago Political Tradition gathered some of the finest minds in political thought to provide shrewd analysis of Chicago’s mayors and their administrations. Twenty-five years later, this fourth edition continues to illuminate the careers of some of Chicago’s most respected, forceful, and even notorious mayors, leaders whose lives were often as vibrant and eclectic as the city they served. In addition to chapters on the individual mayors—including a new chapter on Rahm Emanuel, enhanced by an expert explanation of the current state of the city’s budget by Laurence Msall, president of the Civic Federation—this new edition offers an insightful overview of the Chicago mayoral tradition throughout the city’s history; rankings of the mayors evaluated on their leadership and political qualities; an appendix of Chicago’s mayors and their years of service; and additional updated materials. Chicago’s mayoral history is one of corruption and reform, scandal and ambition. This well-researched volume, more relevant than ever twenty-five years after its first edition, presents an intriguing and informative glimpse into the fascinating lives and legacies of Chicago’s most influential leaders.

Book Synopsis Leading the Localities by : Colin Copus
Download or read book Leading the Localities written by Colin Copus and published by Manchester University Press. This book was released on 2013-02-28 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book, now available in paperback, is the result of national research conducted amongst England's directly elected mayors and the councillors that serve alongside them. It is the first such major publication to assess the impact on local politics of this new office and fills a gap in our understanding of how the Local Government Act 2000 has influenced local governance. The book also draws from a range of research that has focused on elected mayors - in England and overseas - to set out how the powers, roles and responsibilities of mayors and mayoral councils would need to change if English local politics is to fundamentally reconnect with citizens. It not only explores how English elected mayors are currently operating, but how the office could develop and, as such, is a major contribution to the debate about the governance of the English localities.
