Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Joe Campbell was a healthcare administrator, a county commissioner, and a senator. He never envisioned himself as a nursing home resident. Withering away in a large nursing home, Joe thought that he no longer had societal value. Chambers Village more closely resembled a geriatric warehouse. Residents with vacant stares lined up along the hallways. Strict schedules and a sterile medical environment became their lives. But using his strategic planning skills and the help of the nursing home administrator and other residents, they created a vision to make a home for the four hundred fifty people who resided in Chambers Village. A home that provided the residents who lived there with the opportunity to live as a family""making their own decisions and helping to care for one another. This is a book of hope for anyone who has felt that they are incapable of making changes to their living situation. This story provides insight into our fears of aging and our hope for humanity.
Book Synopsis Omnia Sunt Communia by : Doctor Massimo De Angelis
Download or read book Omnia Sunt Communia written by Doctor Massimo De Angelis and published by Zed Books Ltd.. This book was released on 2017-04-15 with total page 269 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this weaving of radical political economy, Omnia Sunt Communia sets out the steps to postcapitalism. By conceptualising the commons not just as common goods but as a set of social systems, Massimo De Angelis shows their pervasive presence in everyday life, mapping out a strategy for total social transformation. From the micro to the macro, De Angelis unveils the commons as fields of power relations – shared space, objects, subjects – that explode the limits of daily life under capitalism. He exposes attempts to co-opt the commons, through the use of code words such as 'participation' and 'governance', and reveals the potential for radical transformation rooted in the reproduction of our communities, of life, of work and of society as a whole.

Book Synopsis Community Architecture (Routledge Revivals) by : Nick Wates
Download or read book Community Architecture (Routledge Revivals) written by Nick Wates and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-09-05 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1987, this title was one of the first to explore the emerging popular movement of Community Architecture, championed by Prince Charles, which gained momentum throughout Britain in the 1970s and 1980s. The conceptual framework rests fundamentally on the principle that the built environment is most effective when those who live in a particular area are actively engaged with its creation and daily administration. A work that has influenced policy makers and planning legislation, Community Architecture remains one of the key reference works for student architects and planners.
Book Synopsis Community, Solidarity and Multilingualism in a Transnational Social Movement by : Maria Rosa Garrido Sardà
Download or read book Community, Solidarity and Multilingualism in a Transnational Social Movement written by Maria Rosa Garrido Sardà and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-09-01 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: *RUNNER UP FOR 2022 BAAL BOOK PRIZE* Community, solidarity and multilingualism in a transnational social movement presents a critical sociolinguistic ethnography of the Emmaus movement that analyses linguistic and discursive practices in two local communities in order to provide insight into solidarity discourses and transnational communication more broadly. Integrating perspectives from a range of disciplines, the monograph seeks to understand the ways in which social movements are maintained across disparate communities grounded in shared cultural referents and communicative practices but not necessarily a shared language. The book focuses on Emmaus, the solidarity movement that emerged in post-war France which brings formerly marginalised people together with others looking for an alternative lifestyle into live-in communities dedicated to recycling work and social projects. The book first offers a historical overview of the Emmaus movement more generally, moving into an account of its development and spread across national and linguistic borders. The volume draws on data from two Emmaus communities in Barcelona and London to analyse the everyday communicative and discursive practices that appropriate and resignify the shared transnational movement ideas in different socio-political, economic, historical and linguistic contexts. Community, solidarity and multilingualism in a transnational social movement considers the social implications of local practices on the situated (re)production and evolution of transnational social movements more generally and will be of particular interest to students and researchers in sociolinguistics, linguistic anthropology, discourse studies, cultural studies, and sociology.
Book Synopsis We Move Our Own Cheese! by : Victor E. Sower
Download or read book We Move Our Own Cheese! written by Victor E. Sower and published by Quality Press. This book was released on 2017-02-21 with total page 103 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Have you ever felt that you had a great insight that would benefit your department, division, or organization and found that you seem to be the only one who can see it? Worse yet, has it ever seemed that while you are struggling to pull your idea into consideration, others are actively holding you back? If you just had the power, you think, great things could be accomplished. What is your reaction? Have you and others who suggest new ideas been so beaten down in the past that you simply let the idea go because it isn't worth the emotional capital to pursue it? If that is the case, and your idea is indeed a good one, who suffers? You? The organization? The organization's customers? The answer is all of the above. This book is designed to help those with limited positional power to find ways to get their ideas seriously considered. It is also designed to help those with positional power create a culture that encourages ideas that will benefit the organization regardless of their source. Inspired by Spencer Johnson's classic fable, Who Moved My Cheese?, the authors of this book decided that there ;was another story that could be told about taking a more proactive, team-based approach to change. We Move Our Own Cheese is about creating change. As in Johnson's book, the cheese is a metaphor for what we have in life and what we believe we want more of. In a business context, it represents the business we are in-our current paradigm-and what it gives us. "A cleverly conceived, thought-provoking fable by authors Fair and Sower that provides great insight into how to recognize the need for organizational change, the courage to make changes - and the necessity of taking risks in order for an organization's survival in today's innovative and highly competitive world. A great read for employees at every organizational level in any industry. I hope that this excellent book will have timely and wide distribution." Richard Bozeman, Author and Inventor; Retired Chief of the Propulsion and Power Division Test Facilities, NASA "It was very clever and thought provoking. I think the book could open up numerous opportunities for consulting and seminars."br Peter Birkholz, M.B.A. Managing Partner, Sam Houston Group, LP and Management Consultant, Birkholz Management Co. ZLLC.br br "The manuscript is very well written. The characters represent very recognizable types in organizations. Their reactions to threat and authority are realistic, making them sympathetic figures. The story is compelling, with exciting plot twists. I couldn't stop reading until the end. The diary entries are a clever way to help the reader understand the story's underlying messages. Your prologue and epilogue are thorough and will be very useful for instructors and trainers, especially the list of discussion questions at the end."br Dr. Geraldine Hynes, Ph.D. Professor of Business Communication, Sam Houston State Universitybr br "I thoroughly enjoyed reading the manuscript. The simple, fun way the fable is written captivates the interest of the reader. I love the way the lessons are weaved into the fable and how they are presented, pulled out for emphasis in a book format. The main lesson and contributing lessons are profound and apply to any organization and individuals at a personal level. The diverse characters seem to come to life and the fable highlights the importance of teamwork leveraging the unique skills of the team. In addition, it points out that leadership among team members is fluid and situational. Such a fable can be used in academic and business settings. Academically, it would be valuable for students learn that they are empowered to create the path in front of them and how to be creative to overcome obstacles. In a business environment, it could reinforce for executives the importance of building a culture of innovation."br Jerrine Baker, M.B.A. University Lecturer and President-Owner, Majestic Dreams Travel

Book Synopsis Cities and the Arts by : Roger L. Kemp
Download or read book Cities and the Arts written by Roger L. Kemp and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2004-10-29 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Citizens, nonprofit organizations and local public officials--in increasing numbers--are using the arts and culture as vehicles to improve their downtowns, as well as to enhance general economic conditions within their communities. Public officials especially are learning that they can plant the seeds of urban renewal and, at the same time, promote their city's culture and arts. This not only renews their neighborhoods and downtowns, but also attracts tourists and private investment. A new eclectic economic development model has evolved and is beginning to work in a number of politically, economically, racially and culturally diverse communities throughout America. From Atlanta and Reno to Philadelphia and Seattle, this work includes numerous case studies that demonstrate the ways in which cities and towns are now using the arts to stimulate both downtown and neighborhood revitalization. The future of the arts in cities is also examined. Five appendices are included, as well: "Cities with Arts, Cultural, and/or Entertainment Districts in the United States," "Regional Resource Directory," "National Resource Directory," "National Directory of State Art Agencies," and "National Directory of Regional Arts Organizations."

Book Synopsis Meaningful Work by : Shawn Askinosie
Download or read book Meaningful Work written by Shawn Askinosie and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2017-11-14 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The founder and CEO of Askinosie Chocolate, an award-winning craft chocolate factory, shows readers how he discovered the secret to purposeful work and business − and how we can too, no matter what work we do. Askinosie Chocolate is a small-batch, award winning chocolate company widely considered to be a vanguard in the industry. Known for sourcing 100% of his cocoa beans directly from farmers across the globe, Shawn Askinosie has pioneered direct trade and profit sharing in the craft chocolate industry with farmers in Tanzania, Ecuador, and the Philippines. In addition to developing relationships with smallholder farmers, the company also partners with schools in their origin communities to provide lunch to 1,600 children every day with no outside donations. Twenty-five years ago, Shawn Askinosie was a successful criminal defense lawyer trying his first murder death penalty case that would later go on to become a Dateline special. For many years he found law satisfying, but after several high profile trials he reached a breaking point and found solace in the search for a new career. In this inspiring guide to discovering a vocation that feeds your heart and soul, Askinosie describes his quest to discover more meaningful work – a search that led him to volunteering in the palliative care wing of a hospital, to a Trappist monastery where he became inspired by the monks focus on “being” rather than “doing,” and eventually traipsing through jungles across the globe in search of excellent cocoa bean farmers to make award winning chocolate. Askinosie shares his hard-won insights into doing work that reflects one’s values and purpose in life. He shares with readers visioning tools that can be used in any industry or field to create a work life that is inspired and fulfilling. Askinosie shows us that everyone has the capacity to find meaning in their work and be a positive force for good in the world.

Book excerpt: Do you get tired sitting in a pew? Have you ever fantasized about traveling to the other side of the world, telling people about the good news of Jesus Christ? Wake up and look around: The world is right here, waiting for the Good News to make itself known. For too long we’ve outsourced God’s work in the world to missionaries “out there” at the ends of the earth. In reality, God wants us to love our neighbor right next door. He wants us to pray for the welfare of our zip code, to witness to the world outside our window. He wants us to be the church, the people of God, in conversation and meaningful engagement with the people God loves outside the walls of the church. The stories in this book will change the way you look at your city and provide insights into how you can be an authentic Christian.
Book Synopsis Turn the Beat Around by : Peter Shapiro
Download or read book Turn the Beat Around written by Peter Shapiro and published by Macmillan + ORM. This book was released on 2015-06-23 with total page 502 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A long-overdue paean to the predominant musical form of the 70s and a thoughtful exploration of the culture that spawned it Disco may be the most universally derided musical form to come about in the past forty years. Yet, like its pop cultural peers punk and hip hop, it was born of a period of profound social and economic upheaval. In Turn the Beat Around, critic and journalist Peter Shapiro traces the history of disco music and culture. From the outset, disco was essentially a shotgun marriage between a newly out and proud gay sexuality and the first generation of post-civil rights African Americans, all to the serenade of the recently developed synthesizer. Shapiro maps out these converging influences, as well as disco's cultural antecedents in Europe, looks at the history of DJing, explores the mainstream disco craze at it's apex, and details the long shadow cast by disco's performers and devotees on today's musical landscape. One part cultural study, one part urban history, and one part glitter-pop confection, Turn the Beat Around is the most comprehensive study of the Me Generation to date.
