Apprentice: A Year at the Feet of Jesus

If someone asked you to share with them what you believe about Jesus, could you do so with clarity and effectiveness? Jesus gave the church the command to go into all the world and make disciples. The word disciple speaks about becoming a follower of Jesus. Here is what I have discovered; it is impossible to direct someone to a place you have never been. This very discovery is the reason I have written this book. It is my desire to not just know about Jesus but to truly know Jesus, so that I can direct others to Him. In this year-long devotional book, you will have the honor of sitting at Jesus' feet, along with the 12 disciples who have become apprentices of Jesus. You will hear Jesus call to these men in His first days of ministry. You will walk with these men on the Galilean road of ministry. You will experience firsthand the teaching of Jesus and you will see the miracles performed by Jesus. You will feel the thrill of each new day at Jesus' feet. You will do battle with the forces of the enemy as you follow Jesus through His earthly ministry. You will enter into the courtyard of the high priest and see Jesus in His agony. You will weep at the cross and shout at the empty tomb. Above all, you will come to the end of the year with a new viewpoint of Jesus. If you want a devotional book that will lead you to know Jesus as did the early church, this book is for you. www.jacksonfbc.com
Be A Bean!: Life Lessons for Anyone and Everyone Who Wants to Lead a Good Life, Be a Better Leader, and Change the World
Life is complicated. Leading complicates life further. Be A Bean provides 20 little lessons on life and leadership that offer a blueprint to having a positive impact, making a difference, and achieving excellence. How does one change the world? Progress, new markets, revolutions... all the product of transformational change. Managers do not seize opportunities, create new futures, and alter the landscape. Leaders do... Specifically, leaders who dare to dream big, act bold, risk failure, inspire others, and challenge the status quo. These people are the beans that refuse to be changed, but rather work to change the environment in which they exist. Be A Bean is not a book for those individuals who are satisfied with the status quo, seek to maintain their niche in the current market, or those who are willing to timidly follow others into safe waters. This is a text for those people who wish to blaze their own path, boldly go into uncharted waters, create new markets, generate innovative approaches to old problems, and foster a landscape of constant improvement in efforts to leave the world better than the one they inherited.

Towards a Productive Aesthetics: Contemporary and Historical Interventions in Blake and Brecht
In Towards a Productive Aesthetics: Contemporary and Historical Interventions in Blake and Brecht, Keith O'Regan mobilises a constellative approach to compare the political-aesthetic strategies of William Blake (1757-1827) and Bertolt Brecht (1898-1956). O'Regan traces two similar trajectories in each author's work: an exploration of how capitalist domination defines conjunctures, and an investigation of how historical figures, themes and terrains illustrate past failures or losses that can be cleaved open for radical possibilities in the present. Brecht and Blake posit an "oppositional aesthetics of the now" that articulates a theory of experience under capitalism, while counter-posing an oppositional form of existence.
Overflow: A Literary and Political Autobiography
A native Anglo-Quebecer, Keith Henderson has published six novels with DC Books, The Restoration, The Beekeeper, The Roof Walkers, Acqua Sacra (translated into Italian and German), Sasquatch and the Green Sash, and the novella Mont Babel, political essays from when he was Quebec correspondent for the Financial Post (Staying Canadian), as well as a prize-winning book of short stories (The Pagan Nuptials of Julia). He led the Equality Party during the separatist referendum of 1995, taught Canadian Literature at Vanier for many years, served on many Anglo-Quebec boards including ELAN and the AELAQ, and is currently President of The Special Committee for Canadian Unity. Overflow focusses on the connection between literary work and personal experience, both the author's own and that of American novelist, Edith Wharton, an affinity for whom Henderson readily admits. Themes of alienation and expatriation loom large, of personal origin in Wharton's case, who spent much of her professional life in France, political in Henderson's, who offers a lament for his one and only country - Canada.

'Fascinating revelations' Max Hastings, Sunday Times'An immensely valuable guide to a great and terrible industry' The Economist 'The book I have long been waiting for... Essential reading' Michael KlarePetroleum has always been used by humans: as an adhesive by Neanderthals, as a waterproofing agent in Noah's Ark and as a weapon during the Crusades. Its eventual extraction from the earth in vast quantities transformed light, heat and power. A Pipeline Runs Through It is a fresh, in-depth look at the social, economic, and geopolitical forces involved in our transition to the modern oil age. It tells an extraordinary origin story, from the pre-industrial history of petroleum through to large-scale production in the mid-nineteenth century and the development of a dominant, fully-fledged oil industry by the early twentieth century.This was always a story of imperialist violence, economic exploitation and environmental destruction. The near total eradication of the Native Americans of New York, Pennsylvania and Ohio has barely been mentioned as a precondition for the emergence of the first oil region in the United States. The growth of Royal Dutch-Shell involved the genocidal subjugation of people of the Dutch East Indies and the exploitation of oil in the Middle East arose seamlessly out of Britain's prior political and military interventions in the region. Finally, in an entirely new analysis, the book shows how the British navy's increasingly desperate dependence on vulnerable foreign sources of oil may have been a catalytic ingredient in the outbreak of the First World War.The rise of oil has shaped the modern world, and this is the book to understand it.
A Naïve Realist Theory of Colour

A Naïve Realist Theory of Colour

A Naïve Realist Theory of Colour defends the view that colours are mind-independent properties of things in the environment, that are distinct from properties identified by the physical sciences. This view stands in contrast to the long-standing and wide-spread view amongst philosophers and scientists that colours don't really exist - or at any rate, that if they do exist, then they are radically different from the way that they appear. It is argued that a naïve realist theory of colour best explains how colours appear to perceiving subjects, and that this view is not undermined either by reflecting on variations in colour perception between perceivers and across perceptual conditions, or by our modern scientific understanding of the world. A Naïve Realist Theory of Colour also illustrates how our understanding of what colours are has far-reaching implications for wider questions about the nature of perceptual experience, the relationship between mind and world, the problem of consciousness, the apparent tension between common sense and scientific representations of the world, and even the very nature and possibility of philosophical inquiry.

A Cartography of Resistance

Resistance is universal, but why does it occur, and fail or succeed? Resistance is often regarded in traditional management books as a problem to be overcome because it is seen as short-sighted or self-interested. Grint suggests, however, that resistance is not necessarily right or wrong. From resistance to the Roman Empire, to slavery, to the Nazis, to racism, to the state and capital, to patriarchy, and to imperialism, this book ranges across time and place to explain the success or failure of resistance. While many contemporary approaches focus on leadership as the explanatory variable, A Cartography of Resistance expands the approach to include management and command of resistance movements - and of their opponents. Many of the case studies explore the failures, as well as the successes, of resistance and the book suggests that even the failures reveal a fundamental truth about the human condition: just because the situation looks bleak for those suffering from oppression does not mean they surrendered meekly. Rather many seemed to adopt the same attitude that led Sisyphus to keep rolling the boulder up the hill: they were determined not to let their situation define or defeat them.

Pivotal Politics – A Theory of U.S. Lawmaking

Pivotal Politics – A Theory of U.S. Lawmaking

Keith Krehbiel

University of Chicago Press

Politicians and pundits alike have complained that the divided governments of the last decades have led to a legislative gridlock. The author argues against this, advancing the theory that divided government actually has little effect on legislative productivity. Gridlock is in fact the order of the day, occurring even when the same party controls the legislative and executive branches. Anchored to real politics, the author argues that the pivotal vote on a piece of legislation is not the one that gives a bill simple majority, but the vote that allows its supporters to override a possible presidential veto. This theory of pivots also explains why, when bills are passed, winning coalitions usually are bipartisan and supermajority sized. Offering an account of when gridlock is overcome and showing that political parties are less important in legislative-executive politics than previously thought, this text offers a perspective on American lawmaking.
