In this little-known novella published in the last year of her life, Sand takes the timeless theme of a younger woman in love with an older man to create a romance with a feminist twist. Her vivacious heroine is both the author's ideal of female emancipation and a subtle attack on that other Marianne, the French Republic's convention-bound Muse.

An exciting opportunity for one last glimpse of Sand's genius, Marianne offers the reader a chance to rediscover one of the world's outstanding writers.

Dieci esperti che non fanno mistero della loro capacità di determinare le sorti del mondo si riuniscono in una lussuosa villa sul Lago di Lugano. Hanno come missione di redigere un rapporto che deve rimanere segreto. Sono gli stessi a cui, già una decina di anni prima, era stato chiesto di scrivere una relazione sullo stato del mondo ai tempi della contestazione del cosiddetto movimento 'no global': il Rapporto Lugano. È così che un saggio sulla crisi globale viene travestito da romanzo di fantapolitica. Questa volta la domanda a cui devono rispondere è forse ancora più brutale: 'Viviamo in un'epoca di ineluttabile crisi, di declino e di definitivo collasso del mondo occidentale così come lo abbiamo conosciuto, o di rinascita di un rinvigorito sistema capitalista? E come possiamo fare per incoraggiare questa rinascita?'. La segretezza autorizza gli esperti a parlare con una franchezza totale, ma se si venisse a sapere il loro pensiero, è certo che il mondo reagirebbe con durezza. Per loro, infatti, bisognerebbe farla finita non solo con lo stato sociale ma addirittura con la democrazia. In questo racconto dal sapore paradossale, Susan George presenta una grande mole di dati sulla crisi economica in atto, con un linguaggio chiaro e divulgativo, che convergono tutti verso una soluzione decisamente inquietante. Ma purtroppo nient'affatto fantasiosa.

Have you ever been led by someone who cared for you like family, and dared you to achieve more than you ever thought possible for yourself, your organization, and even society?

Award-winning author of Hostage at the Table, George Kohlrieser, along with his co-authors Susan Goldsworthy and Duncan Coombe, explain how becoming a secure base leader releases extraordinary potential in others.

Part of the Warren Bennis leadership series Care to Dare shows you how to become a Secure Base Leader so that you release your followers from the fears that get in the way of their performance. It shows you how you can unleash astonishing potential by building the trust, delivering the change, and inspiring the focus that underpins sustainable high performance.

From extensive interviews with executives from all over the world, as well as from surveys with more than a thousand executives, the book reveals the nine characteristics that Secure Base Leaders display on a daily basis. The research shows that a primary difference between a successful leader and a failed leader is the presence or absence of secure bases in his or her life.

Care to Dare will take you on a journey where you will discover your own secure bases, past and present, and determine how you can be a secure base for other people in your life at work and at home.

'Il mondo non è mai stato così ricco e oggi abbiamo a disposizione tutti i saperi, gli strumenti e le competenze di cui abbiamo bisogno. Potremmo goderci un mondo pulito, verde e ricco, in grado di garantire a tutti una vita dignitosa su un pianeta sano. Non è una remota utopia, ma una possibilità concreta. La crisi potrebbe rappresentare una straordinaria opportunità per costruire un mondo del genere.' Mentre Susan George scriveva queste righe, la crisi greca era appena iniziata e non c'era ragione per lasciare che la questione del debito sovrano ellenico traboccasse, estendendosi fino al punto da contagiare praticamente l'intera Europa. Situazione divenuta, però, purtroppo realtà in questi ultimi mesi, durante i quali la crisi si è fatta sempre più complessa e profonda, toccando la vita di ognuno di noi. Povertà, ineguaglianze, un accesso sempre più limitato al cibo e alle risorse idriche, il collasso dei mercati finanziari internazionali e i terribili e inaspettati effetti del cambiamento climatico: ogni aspetto di questa crisi può essere fatto risalire a un'élite che ha efficacemente eroso i nostri diritti, estromettendoci dal potere. L'obiettivo di questo libro è spiegare come e perché ci siamo cacciati in questa situazione e in che modo possiamo uscirne, a tutto vantaggio del pianeta e di coloro che vi abitano. Gli ostacoli che dobbiamo fronteggiare non sono di natura tecnica, pratica o finanziaria, bensì politica, intellettuale e ideologica.

In perceiving all rap and hip-hop music as violent, misogynistic, and sexually charged, are we denying the way in which it is attentive to the lived experiences, both positive and negative, of many therapy clients? This question is explored in great depth in this anthology, the first to examine the use of this musical genre in the therapeutic context. The contributors are all experienced therapists who examine the multiple ways that rap and hip-hop can be used in therapy by listening and discussing, performing, creating, or improvising.
The text is divided into three sections that explore the historical and theoretical perspectives of rap and hip-hop in therapy, describe the first-hand experiences of using the music with at-risk youth, and discuss the ways in which contributors have used rap and hip-hop with clients with specific diagnoses, respectively.
Within these sections, the contributors provide rationale for the use of rap and hip-hop in therapy and encourage therapists to validate the experiences for those for whom rap music is a significant mode of expression. Editors Susan Hadley and George Yancy go beyond promoting culturally competent therapy to creating a paradigm shift in the field, one that speaks to the problematic ways in which rap and hip-hop have been dismissed as expressive of meaningless violence and of little social value. More than providing tools to incorporate rap into therapy, this text enhances the therapist's cultural and professional repertoire.

Although rap and hip-hop have been maligned, they are an integral part of many people's identity and a venue for positive expression. Hadley (music therapy, Slippery Rock U.) and Yancy (philosophy, Duquesne U.) bring together music therapists and social workers from English speaking countries to explore how listening to, discussing, performing, and creating rap and hip-hop can be used in music therapy. Part 1 offers historical and theoretical perspectives, looking at the hero's journey in hip-hop and a hip-hop feminist approach to music therapy. Chapters in part 2 describe programs and research on rap and hip-hop with at-risk youth in settings such as Canada's Arctic and First Nations communities, urban youth in shelters, and youth in a short-term juvenile detection facility. Part 3 focuses on rap with clients in specific clinical settings, such as grief therapy, medical settings, and substance abuse treatment.

It is a rare and wonderful thing when a book by one of our most trusted intellects arrives at the precise moment in history when it is needed most. All that is left is for us to pick it up and act to change the course of history. Naomi Klein, author of the Shock Doctrine

A really valuable and impressive book. Susan George leads us through a chamber of horrors ... Fortunately, the lucid and carefully documented picture she presents also shows that there are paths out of the darkness, realistic and within reach if the will is there. Lessons to be taken to heart by those who have concern for humans and their fate. Noam Chomsky

Susan George has a rare gift for seeing the big picture. She explains wiht great clarity theforces that oppress us, the choices that face us and the action that needs to be taken. Please read this book: it will equio you beter than any other to confront the injustices of a world run for the benefit of a tiny elite. George monbiot

Crisis? Whose crisis? Today we are in the midst of a multifaceted crisis which touches the lives of everyone on the planet. Whether it's growing poverty and inequality or shrinking access to food and water, the collapse of global financial markets or the dire effects of climate change, every aspect of this crisis can be traced to a transnational neoliberal elite that has steadily eroded our rights and stripped us of power. And yet our world has never been so wealthy, and we have right now, all the knowledge, tools and skills we need to build a greener, fairer, richer world. Such a breakthrough is not some far-fetched utopia, but an immediate, concrete possibility. Our future is in our hands.

An American sculptor, painter, and installation artist, Paul Thek (1933--1988) is primarily known for hyper-realistic works of human body parts executed in fleshlike beeswax and for his strongly symbolic, room-size installations constructed from transitory materials. A major figure on the 1960s New York art scene, Thek also spent time in Europe, where he paved the way for artists adopting collaborative strategies. Although he gained a large following and was featured in more than one hundred solo and group exhibitions, the anti-establishment “artist's artist” was practically forgotten at the time of his death.

Major exhibitions abroad and critical attention from younger artists have done much to revive his reputation, and Paul Thek: Diver expands on those efforts by bringing the artist's resounding influence on the art world up to date. Published to accompany Thek's first retrospective in the United States, this landmark publication includes nearly 300 chronologically arranged illustrations of sculptures, paintings, prints, and other works featured in the exhibition as well as four special “in-depth” image sections focusing on key installations, projects, and pages from the artist's journals.  An extensive selection of documentary photographs, many never before published, illuminate Thek's artistic aesthetic and production process. With a bibliography, exhibition history, and checklist of works in the exhibition, this overdue acknowledgment of Thek's brief, but broad-reaching career will be the authoritative volume on the artist for years to come.

This publication from the Institute of Medicine's Committee on Medical Preparedness for a Terrorist Nuclear Event is a result of a workshop held in 2008 prompted by the Department of Homeland Security to better understand the state of preparedness for an improvised nuclear device detonation in the six Urban Area Security Initiatives designated as 'Tier 1.' The workshop brought together specialists in emergency medical response and treatment, medical and public health preparedness, health sciences research, and nuclear medicine to review and summarize overall emergency response activities and health care capacity, identify gaps, review and summarize available treatments for radiation illnesses, and appraise the expected benefit of medical countermeasures. Other topics addressed include risk communication, public reactions, and psychological consequences; federal and state medical resources; and current preparedness to prevent and treat delayed casualties.

Betty Williams and Mairead Corrigan were awarded the 1976 Nobel Peace Prize for their work to end the violence in Northern Ireland, a conflict dating back to the division of Ireland by the British in the 1920s. Williams and Corrigan joined forces in August 1976 in their West Belfast neighborhood, when a woman and her three children out for a walk were hit by a runaway car. The car's driver was an Irish Republican Army gunman who had been shot by British soldiers. The children were killed, their mother critically injured. The tragedy prompted horrified Belfast women—including Williams, a housewife, and Corrigan, the children's aunt—to put a stop to the violence. The pair founded Women for Peace (later renamed Community for Peace People), and in weeks, rallied more than 30,000 people to demonstrate against violence. Though marchers were beaten and their own lives threatened, the women continued their efforts and were ultimately credited with reducing the conflict's death toll by half. Betty Williams and Mairead Corrigan presents the inspiring story of the two 'ordinary' women who launched the Northern Ireland peace movement.

Participants in the worldwide citizens' movement for social change and global justice like to proclaim that 'Another World Is Possible.' But is it? To this popular slogan, Susan George adds a cautionary 'If' and suggests how we can indeed reach that other world.

Praise for The Lugano Report:

'With acid wit and somber truths, The Lugano Report brilliantly portrays, through the eyes of its imagined but all-to-realistic planners, a world that may be heading for deep trouble.' Noam Chomsky

'In this satire, a summit on preserving the capitalist order comes to some disturbing conclusions as it follows the logic of capitalism ad infinitum.' Washington Post

'The Lugano Report is a brilliant and innovative means of exposing a world order that serves only the strongest. A compelling satire, packed with information, this is the work of an author in complete control of her subject.' George Monibot

'In this book, at once funny and tragic, Susan George reveals the power of neo-liberal prophecy and the absurdity of the economic system it has in store for us.' Pierre Bourdieu
