De flesta svenskar, också de hyggligt belästa, får lätt något panikslaget i blicken om de ombeds nämna en enda australiensisk författare, skriver Jan Arnald i förordet till Australien berättar som är en antologi med ett brett urval av samtidsförfattare från denna ofta förbisedda kontinent. Den aboriginska urbefolkningen har den längsta obrutna kulturhistorien av jordklotets alla folkslag, men ur ett västerländskt perspektiv är den australiensiska litteraturen i stort sätt nyfödd. I denna antologi finns såväl aboriginska som icke-aboriginska författare representerade. På olika sätt förhåller de sig till det australiska; dess samhälle såväl som dess säregna mytologi. Inte minst bearbetar flera av författarna på olika sätt sin egen historia. Först i februari 2008 bad den australiensiska staten officiellt om ursäkt för sin förtryckarpolitik gentemot aboriginerna. Australien berättar fyller en lucka i den bokliga allmänbildningen i Sverige, genom att ge läsare möjligheten att bekanta sig med noveller som sträcker sig från det komiska till det tragiska, från det underhållande till det reflekterande mer sällan än inte på en och samma gång. Australien berättar utkommer i Tranans uppskattade berättarserie, som presenterar framstående novellistik från hela världen, inte sällan av författare som aldrig tidigare kommit ut på svenska. Hittills har tretton volymer utkommit, senast med noveller från Lettland och Egypten.

Regulation Inside Government

Regulation Inside Government

Christopher Hood; Oliver James; George Jones; Colin Scott; Tony Travers

Oxford University Press
1999
sidottu
Regulation Inside Government analyses the army of inspectors, auditors, grievance-chasers, standard-setters and other bodies overseeing contemporary public organizations. Based on an unprecedented two-year inside study of British government by a team of leading scholars, this book provides an original analytical perspective on regulation within government. The book begins by examining the size of internal government regulation to reveal a structure comparable in size to government regulation of business. The book then goes on to show how internal government regulation grew in size despite the fact that public bureaucracy elsewhere were being sharply cutback. Given the limitations of orthodox constitutional checks on executive government, the courts and elected members of the legislature, regulation inside government deserves more attention than it has hitherto received. As one of the first comprehensive accounts of regulation inside government, this book begins to fill the gap.

The Brightest Star

The Brightest Star

Andrea Morehead; James Morehead; Marvin Jones

Clover Lane Media, LLC
2022
sidottu
What are you, and why do you look that way?James Morehead and his daughter Andrea Morehead, an Emmy-award winning television journalist and author, weave a phenomenal true story of courage, resiliency, and perseverance navigating through life with albinism. They cleverly use poetry to explain how and why James' exterior color is white although he's African-American.While this book is for children with amazing illustrations, this book is for all ages, and is a comprehensive story from childhood to adulthood about being an albino, and some of the hurtful experiences he endured growing up. With poignant and sometimes sad anecdotes of bullying, the Moreheads captivate the reader with bright illustrations to complement the narrative of building self-esteem, self-love and confidence. He credits his Christian faith with being able to rise above the ridicule and sometimes loneliness. Armed with great friends and family along the way, Morehead explains how he was able to find acceptance and success despite his outer shell. He reinforces to children that what really counts is one's character, and how God has created everyone with a unique purpose in life. They share the lesson that our unique differences and abilities are part of God's master plan to foster appreciation and acceptance of others. While he may be "The Brightest Star" among us, Morehead's inspirational story reminds everyone that they have a special purpose to use their life to positively impact the world, and it all begins with self-love. This is one of the few, if only, books that specifically discusses what it's like growing up as an albino and stands as a shining example of persevering, believing in yourself, and achieving your dreams against all odds. It's a wonderful tool for people of all ages to learn and understand albinism; have compassion and extend kindness to everyone; and recognize that our differences should be celebrated. If you're looking for a book to help children understand diversity and inclusion, this is it #Kindness #Value #WorthThe foreword is written by Marvin Jones III, one of the most recognized actors who has albinism. He's known for his amazing portrayal of the character Tobias Whale in The CW superhero series "Black Lightning," and as the voice of Tombstone in the superhero film Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse.Award-winning ABC News Weekend Anchor Linsey Davis endorses the book with her afterword: "Part imagination with a dash of spirituality and a healthy serving of acceptance sprinkled with hope throughout. The Brightest Star has all the ideals of humanity baked right in. It is the recipe any parent would hope their child would follow as they learn about and embrace people who may not look like them. It is not only a reminder of God's grace and presence in our lives, but a testament to His ability to dream bigger dreams for us than we have for ourselves. It is a much-needed light to illuminate not just what it's like to grow up as an albino, but it is a love letter to us all about our value and beauty as God's magnificently made creations." The illustrator is Stephanie Hider from Oklahoma. She magnificently captures the heart and compassion of the story as her inaugural autobiography illustration project.

Future of Philanthropy: Insights from Multiple Expert Discussions Around the World

Future of Philanthropy: Insights from Multiple Expert Discussions Around the World

Caroline Dewing; Tim Jones; James Alexander

Createspace Independent Publishing Platform

This report is written for anyone with an interest in philanthropy and how to make it more effective with higher impact in the future. We hope it will be useful to individuals, charities and other NGO's, businesses and governments as well as advisors to each of these audiences. Taking the long view has never been easy. However, as change accelerates in an increasingly connected world, more organisations are looking further ahead to better understand emerging opportunities and threats. We believe that sharing knowledge across disciplines and across continents can add real value to the process, particularly as often innovation occurs at the intersection of different industries disciplines and challenges. There are a host of changes that we need to think about when considering the next ten years. Some are incremental evolutions, and some are radical revolutions. The big challenge in any foresight programme is in differentiating these and gaining a clear understanding of which changes are most likely. The intention of this report is to consolidate expert views from nine workshops in seven countries around the future of philanthropy and how it will develop. This understanding will make it easier to shape a strategy that will address upcoming challenges and opportunities. We offer a summary of the key trends and drivers that will be influential and identify areas of potential change. As such the report provides insight about the leading edge of philanthropy today as well as where it might go in the future. Our hope is that this will enable you to make a bigger difference for society in the years to come. This decade sees philanthropy at a pivotal point. The evolving geopolitical landscape, the rapid creation of new wealth and a greater awareness of how philanthropy can create social change have already led to exciting innovation and new thinking. This is influencing approaches to giving and social responsibility across the world. During our conversations three interconnected drivers of change were identified. They are Power, Knowledge and, inherent to both of these, Trust. They will shape the evolution of philanthropy over the next decade.

The architectural history of Texas spans more than 300 years of European settlement and 10,000 years of habitation by native peoples. The incredibly diverse natural landscape and equally varied built environment has produced an architectural heritage of national and international stature. This book, the first of two volumes devoted to the Lone Star State, covers the central, southern, and Gulf Coast regions (the earliest areas of Spanish and Anglo settlement and the majority of the counties that won independence from Mexico in 1836) and includes four major cities--Austin, Corpus Christi, Houston, and San Antonio. The authors consider the contributions made by various cultures--Native American, Spanish, Mexican, Anglo, African American, German, Czech, Polish, and Italian--to the state's rich architectural heritage. More than 1,000 building entries canvass the most important and representative examples of Spanish missions, log cabins, German stone houses, Victorian courthouses, Moderne stores, contemporary ranch houses, modern skyscrapers, postmodern retail strips, and incursions by internationally renowned architects. With the burgeoning interest in heritage tourism, this in-depth guide--enlivened by 350 illustrations and 50 maps--will satisfy the curiosity of both local and out-of-state visitors, bringing new energy to the state's promising preservation movement.
