Book excerpt: George Orwell set out ‘to make political writing into an art’, and to a wide extent this aim shaped the future of English literature – his descriptions of authoritarian regimes helped to form a new vocabulary that is fundamental to understanding totalitarianism. While 1984 and Animal Farm are amongst the most popular classic novels in the English language, this new series of Orwell’s essays seeks to bring a wider selection of his writing on politics and literature to a new readership. In Why I Write, the first in the Orwell’s Essays series, Orwell describes his journey to becoming a writer, and his movement from writing poems to short stories to the essays, fiction and non-fiction we remember him for. He also discusses what he sees as the ‘four great motives for writing’ – ‘sheer egoism’, ‘aesthetic enthusiasm’, ‘historical impulse’ and ‘political purpose’ – and considers the importance of keeping these in balance. Why I Write is a unique opportunity to look into Orwell’s mind, and it grants the reader an entirely different vantage point from which to consider the rest of the great writer’s oeuvre. 'A writer who can – and must – be rediscovered with every age.' — Irish Times

In “The Plague Year,” Lawrence Wright details how responses to the pandemic went astray (New Yorker). Lizzie Presser reports on “The Black American Amputation Epidemic” (ProPublica). In powerful essays, the novelist Jesmyn Ward processes her grief over her husband’s death against the backdrop of the pandemic and antiracist uprisings (Vanity Fair), and the poet Elizabeth Alexander considers “The Trayvon Generation” (New Yorker). Aymann Ismail delves into how “The Store That Called the Cops on George Floyd” dealt with the repercussions of the fatal call (Slate). Mitchell S. Jackson scrutinizes the murder of Ahmaud Arbery and how running fails Black America (Runner’s World). The anthology features remarkable reporting, such as explorations of the cases of children who disappeared into the depths of the U.S. immigration system for years (Reveal) and Oakland’s efforts to rethink its approach to gun violence (Mother Jones). It includes selections from a Public Books special issue that investigate what 2020’s overlapping crises reveal about the future of cities.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Visionary Brand In my new book, The Visionary Brand, I explore how brands become Visionary, and how they sustain this success for generations. Through both my direct experience with these brands, along with extensive research, I have been able to define the formula for realizing Visionary status. Although I have found no "one" brand is truly the ultimate Visionary, many are close, and you discover why these great brands are missing one or many ingredients to becoming truly Visionary. What makes a brand truly Visionary? Product, Innovation, Culture, Marketing? It is a harmonious blending of product, marketing, and passionate culture. Along with a visionary who establishes and commits themselves and the brand to ageless foundational principles. What formula has sustained iconic brands such as; Apple, Nike, Adidas, and allowed them to maintain their vision and brand ETHOS for generations? How does one brand lose its premium status, while others thrive from generation to generation? The Visionary Brand explores the core of these generational companies, and how they have evolved to become visionaries. This definitive guide to preserving authentic success through identifying, protecting, and nurturing the brand's core foundational principles will be a timeless leadership resource. Both professionally and personally, serving a purpose from start-up through established category leaders. Most brands at some point lose sight of their vision or have not established their brand core ETHOS. The Visionary Brand will revitalize those who are not yet evangelizing their brand's values and principles, along with guiding those who have yet to define their foundation. To succeed, you must understand who you are, what value you are providing, where you are positioning, and how to engage with your loyal community and brand team. From aspirational, real-life scenarios, to inspirational guidance, The Visionary Brand will provide ongoing support to successfully drive your brand forward. The Visionary Brand outlines the independent elements to emulating and successfully executing this foundational strategy. * Define your vision and build a Foundational Principles platform. * Stick to your vision while capturing global market share from your competitors. * Create a continuous Pipeline of Innovation. * Establish a Culture of Passionate followers. * Engage, and build Loyalty. * Embrace the changing tide of the new age adoption curve. * Be an Artist, be yourself, and instill the courage to accomplish your Vision. There may be Visionary brands, but no one company exists as The Visionary Brand, while some have most, none have all. I sincerely hope you enjoy the book and find its content useful in your Journey to becoming Visionary! Sincerely, Bryan Smeltzer, Author, The Visionary Brand
