During the 1960s, American Indian youth were swept up in a movement called Red Power - a civil rights struggle fueled by intertribal activism. While some define the movement as militant and others see it as peaceful, there is one common assumption about its history: Red Power began with the Indian takeover of Alcatraz in 1969. Or did it?In this groundbreaking book, Bradley G. Shreve sets the record straight by tracing the origins of Red Power further back in time: to the student activism of the National Indian Youth Council (NIYC), founded in Gallup, New Mexico, in 1961. Unlike other 1960s and '70s activist groups that challenged the fundamental beliefs of their predecessors, the students who established the NIYC were determined to uphold the cultures and ideals of their elders, building on a tradition of pan-Indian organization dating back to the early twentieth century. Their cornerstone principles of tribal sovereignty, self determination, treaty rights, and cultural preservation helped ensure their survival, for in contrast to other activist groups that came and went, the NIYC is still in operation today. But Shreve also shows that the NIYC was very much a product of 1960s idealistic ferment and its leaders learned tactics from other contemporary leftist movements.By uncovering the origins of Red Power, Shreve writes an important new chapter in the history of American Indian activism. And by revealing the ideology and accomplishments of the NIYC, he ties the Red Power Movement to the larger struggle for human rights that continues to this day both in the United States and across the globe.

"Placemaking is the way in which all human beings transform theplaces they find themselves into the places where they live." In this groundbreaking new book, landscape architect Lynda H.Schneekloth and architect and planner Robert G. Shibley challengethe most fundamental assumptions about the ways human beingstransform the places in which they live. A call to action for amore inclusive, democratic approach to the design of human spaces,the authors use stories from their own practice to cast a new lighton the relationship between communities, design professionals, andthe shaping of their physical "places." The stories they tellreveal techniques for generating a collaborative spirit that willhelp designers, planners, and community development professionalsunderstand the human values that lie at the heart of theirprofessions. "To decide to be someplace as members of a community demands thatwe become active placemakers again, that we participate with othersin our communities in thoughtful, careful responsibleaction." The death of Main Street, the blight of the inner city, thesterility of so much contemporary development--these are effects ofa major disconnection between the human community and the builtenvironment. At no time in the history of our society has therebeen a more urgent need to take a hard look at how we createphysical environments. In response to this unmet need and moralconfusion, Placemaking: The Art and Practice of BuildingCommunities calls for a more dynamic, more inclusive design processand demonstrates new placemaking practices that have emerged fromdifferent communities and environments. "Placemaking is the way in which all human beings transform theplaces they find themselves into the places where they live." Drawing on four actual "stories" from their own professionalpractice, the authors show how empowered communities, working in atrue democratic collaboration with planning and architectureprofessionals, can create places which not only support work andplay, but also help foster relationships between people. Thesestories represent a broad range of communities and physicalenvironments: The First Baptist Church of Roanoke, Virginia--in rebuilding itschurch, a community struggles to define itself and the role of thechurch building within the community The International Banking Institute--a story of change in theworkplace, group dynamics, and the ability of an organization tolearn about itself The Roanoke Neighborhood Partnership--the creation of a new, morecollaborative relationship between neighborhood people, citygovernment, the private sector, and design professionals The Rudy Bruner Award Program--an examination of what makes an"excellent" place and how the creative ability of communities cantransform problems into successful projects "Placemaking consists of those daily acts of renovating,maintaining, and representing the places that sustain us . .." In telling these stories, the authors demonstrate how certainpractices--making a "dialogic space," "the dialectic ofconfirmation and interrogation," and "framing action"--can be usedto create, transform, maintain, and renovate the places in whichpeople live. Placemaking: The Art and Practice of Building Communities is atruly visionary work that has its foundation in the daily lives ofspecific people and places. Its publication is bound to spark along overdue controversy among architects, planners, designers, andall people concerned with the well-being of communities.
HarperCollins is proud to present its range of best-loved, essential classics. ‘Cheerfulness, it would appear, is a matter which depends fully as much on the state of things within as on the state of things without and around us.’ Considered one of her less well-known novels, Shirley is Charlotte Brontë’s only historical work, set during the Napoleonic Wars. Wealthy and independent, Shirley is very different from her friend Caroline, who has few prospects and is dependent on her uncle. Struggling mill owner Robert Moore considers marriage to the monied Shirley in order to secure his financial future; however, it is Caroline who he loves, while Shirley has fallen for Robert’s brother, an impoverished tutor who is deemed an unsuitable match for her. Unsentimental, yet unflinching in her honest portrayal of love, class conflict and identity, Brontë uses the backdrop of her beloved Yorkshire to play out the tensions and dramas of a society facing social and industrial upheaval.
Struggling manufacturer Robert Moore has introduced labour saving machinery to his Yorkshire mill, arousing a ferment of unemployment and discontent among his workers.

Shirley, meanwhile, is in love with Robert's brother, an impoverished tutor - a match opposed by her family. As industrial unrest builds to a potentially fatal pitch, can the four be reconciled? Set during the Napoleonic wars at a time of national economic struggles, Shirley (1849) is an unsentimental, yet passionate depiction of conflict between classes, sexes and generations.
