Nearly all of Earth's 75 billion live in the hundreds of monolithic structures scattered across the globe, with the exception of the small agricultural communes that supply the Urbmons with food.

Book Synopsis The World Turned Inside Out by : Lorenzo Veracini
Download or read book The World Turned Inside Out written by Lorenzo Veracini and published by Verso Books. This book was released on 2021-09-21 with total page 421 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many would rather change worlds than change the world. The settlement of communities in 'empty lands' somewhere else has often been proposed as a solution to growing contradictions. While the lands were never empty, sometimes these communities failed miserably, and sometimes they prospered and grew until they became entire countries. Building on a growing body of transnational and interdisciplinary research on the political imaginaries of settler colonialism as a specific mode of domination, this book uncovers and critiques an autonomous, influential, and coherent political tradition - a tradition still relevant today. It follows the ideas and the projects (and the failures) of those who left or planned to leave growing and chaotic cities and challenging and confusing new economic circumstances, those who wanted to protect endangered nationalities, and those who intended to pre-empt forthcoming revolutions of all sorts, including civil and social wars. They displaced, and moved to other islands and continents, beyond the settled regions, to rural districts and to secluded suburbs, to communes and intentional communities, and to cyberspace. This book outlines the global history of a resilient political idea: to seek change somewhere else as an alternative to embracing (or resisting) transformation where one is.

Book excerpt: "I love to look inside the books. They beckon me from wooden shelves that guard the stories hidden there ...

Book Synopsis Changing the World from the Inside Out by : David Jaffe
Download or read book Changing the World from the Inside Out written by David Jaffe and published by Shambhala Publications. This book was released on 2016-10-18 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: WINNER OF THE 2016 JEWISH BOOK COUNCIL AWARD FOR CONTEMPORARY JEWISH LIFE AND PRACTICE An inspiring and accessible guide, drawn from Jewish wisdom, for building the inner qualities necessary to work effectively for social justice. The world needs changing—and you’re just the person to do it! It’s a matter of cultivating the inner resources you already have. If you are serious about working for social justice and change, this book will help you bring your most compassionate, wise, and courageous self to the job. Bringing positive social change to any system takes deep self-awareness, caring, determination, and long-term commitment. But polarization, the slow pace of change, and internal conflicts among activists and organizations often leads to burnout and discouragement among the very people needed to make a difference. Changing the World from the Inside Out distills centuries of Jewish wisdom about cultivating and refining the inner life into an accessible program for building the qualities necessary to accomplish sustainable change. Through explorations of deep motivation, inner-drive, and traits like trust and anger, this book engages the reader in a journey of self-development and transformation, demonstrating that sustainable activism is indeed a spiritual practice. Jaffe offers accessible and meaningful guidance for this journey—with exercises, contemplations, and discussion points that can be used individually or in a group.
Book Synopsis Turn This World Inside Out by : Nora Samaran
Download or read book Turn This World Inside Out written by Nora Samaran and published by AK Press. This book was released on 2019-06-18 with total page 135 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Violence is nurturance turned backwards,” writes Nora Samaran. In Turn This World Inside Out, she presents Nurturance Culture as the opposite of rape culture and suggests how alternative models of care and accountability—different from “call-outs,” which are often rooted in the politics of shame and guilt—can move toward inverting cultures of dominance and systems of oppression. When communities are able to recognize and speak up about systemic violence, center the needs of those harmed, and hold a circle of belonging that humanizes everyone, they create a revolutionary foundation of nurturance that can begin to repair the harms inflicted by patriarchy, white supremacy, and capitalism. Emerging out of insights in Gender Studies, Race Theory, and Psychology, and influenced by contemporary social movements, Turn This World Inside Out speaks to some of the most pressing issues of our time.
Download or read book Wenworld written by T. R. Preston and published by . This book was released on 2020-10-05 with total page 564 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ika Ivory's life changed forever one fateful night when a catlike beast entered his home and took the life of his elder sister. He was a child at the time, and he grew up believing this incident was nothing more than a happenstantial tragedy; that he was simply unlucky enough to have his home be the target of a wild creature's thoughtless carnage. Ika learned as he grew older, however, that this creature was more than he once thought. The creature's true form was not a demonic cat, as he encountered it as, but a man. A man known as Kirga. News of this 'Kirga' was beginning to spread across Wenworld. There was rarely a newspaper without his name in the headline. Ika began to obsess over the man who took his sister from him. He began to think of revenge. His unbearable need for it solidified when, on the night of Ika's twelfth birthday, his mother made the decision to tell him the truth about why he didn't grow up with a father like the other kids. He found out his mother had seen the creature who took his sister once before. It was the only other time the beast had been seen in their small hometown; and it was the night when it killed Ika's father, before Ika was born. The sister was, in fact, the second act of merciless violence against the Ivory family. After being told this secret, Ika swore that he would find Kirga one day and discover the truth of why his family specifically was targeted in these attacks. There had to be a reason. Ika's sanity and happiness were held together through his youth by his best friend, Chandi MorrowHill, who he met shortly after the tragedy of his sister's death. He became close with Chandi when he discovered she was also the victim of a traumatic experience. Chandi's parents were taken from her by a man named Wriliara. The two of them grew close as the years went by, helping one another deal with the pain of their experiences. In time they created an unbreakable bond. One was never seen without the other. Eventually, the day came when a certain piece of information in the local newspaper set a determined fire in their grieving hearts. It was being reported that Kirga--who was now going by 'Kirga the Hellcat'--was seen travelling with Wriliara, the same man who killed Chandi's parents. Ika and Chandi made a vow that, together, when they were older and stronger, they would seek the men out to avenge their families. Now, finally, the two of them have grown to an age where they feel they are ready to begin their great hunt. However, if they wish to be strong enough to fight these men when the time arrives, then they will need someone to train them in the complex ways of Wenworld magic. This is where their master comes in: a talking rabbit with an attitude and a penchant for strict discipline. He happens to have more than enough experience with magic to train them efficiently. He agrees to see their quest through to the end, assisting the two teenagers in whatever way he can. The world outside the confines of Ika and Chandi's small town is far larger and more bizarre than they ever could've imagined. They have a lot to learn; about the world, and themselves.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kate Kelly, acclaimed journalist and author of Street Fighters, investigates the world of commodities traders When most of us think of the drama of global finance, we think of stocks and bonds. But commodities? Crude oil and soya beans? Copper and wheat? What could be more boring? That's exactly what the elite commodity traders want us to think. They don't seek the spotlight. They don't want to be as famous as Warren Buffett. Their astonishing wealth was created in obscurity, because they dwell in private companies or deep within large banks and corporations. But if the individuals in the commodities boom have gone unnoticed, their impact has not. Prices of raw materials have exploded. Are the big traders jacking up the cost of petrol, food, and essentials bought by people around the world? How did such immense power end up in the hands of a few? In this riveting book, Kate Kelly takes us inside the inner circle that affects so many things we all depend on. Following a trail from New York to London to Dubai, from hedgefunds and banks to brokers and regulators, she reveals the fullest ever picture of the men who gamble with our future every day. Kate Kelly, author of the New York Times bestseller Street Fighters, covers Wall Street for CNBC. She spent ten years at the Wall Street Journal, where she won a Livingston Award and two Gerald Loeb awards. She lives in Brooklyn with her family.
