Octavia E. Butler said, “There’s nothing new under the sun, but there are new suns.”New Suns 2 brings you fresh visions of the strange, the unexpected, the shocking—breakthrough stories, stories shining with emerging truths, stories that pierce stale preconceptions with their beauty and bravery. Like the first New Suns anthology (winner of the World Fantasy, Locus, IGNYTE, and British Fantasy awards), this book liberates writers of many races to tell us tales no one has ever told.Many things come in twos: dualities, binaries, halves, and alternates. Twos are found throughout New Suns 2, in eighteen science fiction, fantasy, and horror stories revealing daring futures, hidden pasts, and present-day worlds filled with unmapped wonders.Including stories by Daniel H. Wilson, K. Tempest Bradford, Darcie Little Badger, Geetanjali Vandemark, John Chu, Nghi Vo, Tananarive Due, Alex Jennings, Karin Lowachee, Saad Hossain, Hiromi Goto, Minsoo Kang, Tlotlo Tsamaase, Rochita Loenen-Ruiz, Malka Older, Kathleen Alcalá, Christopher Caldwell and Jaymee Goh with a foreword by Walter Mosley and an afterword by Dr. Grace Dillon.

A major American intellectual and "one of the right's most gifted and astute journalists" (The New York Times Book Review) makes the historical case that the reforms of the 1960s, reforms intended to make the nation more just and humane, left many Americans feeling alienated, despised, misled--and ready to put an adventurer in the White House. Christopher Caldwell has spent years studying the liberal uprising of the 1960s and its unforeseen consequences and his conclusion is this: even the reforms that Americans love best have come with costs that are staggeringly high--in wealth, freedom, and social stability--and that have been spread unevenly among classes and generations. Caldwell reveals the real political turning points of the past half-century, taking you on a roller-coaster ride through Playboy magazine, affirmative action, CB radio, leveraged buyouts, iPhones, Oxycotin, Black Lives Matter, and internet cookies. In doing so, he shows that attempts to redress the injustices of the past have left Americans living under two different ideas of what it means to play by the rules. Essential, timely, hard to put down, The Age of Entitlement "is an eloquent and bracing book, full of insight" (New York magazine) about how the reforms of the past fifty years gave the country two incompatible political systems--and drove it toward conflict.

Leadership and sustainability are a priority for every organization. Governments and corporations have to clean up their acts and we need the competencies and skills to assist people to work with their conscience. Sitting at the forefront of global organizational development is training and adult education. In particular, is a rise in demand for capable managers with the skills to increase team learning, produce talent and deliver performance while forwarding a socially responsible mandate. Developing human consciousness and raising self-awareness is key to developing talented, creative and passionate teams of people for a sustainable future. In this second edition, the Leadership edition, Christopher Caldwell introduces material in leadership, organizational development and consciousness raising for managers to begin implementing behavioral change in their team and within themselves to meet the social responsibility mandates. "Beyond Corporate Responsibility: The New Organizational Consciousness" challenges managers to go beyond adopting individual practices such as philanthropy to address social and environmental issues. Corporate social responsibility (CSR) requires managers to think beyond the boundaries of their organization. As the world becomes more interconnected and social and environmental challenges increase, society and governments will demand businesses show greater leadership for a sustainable future. Chris Caldwell's book is a must read for managers who seek to employ CSR as a means to transition their business to a solution-oriented organization whereby employees are engaged to work together to not only increase the wellbeing of the organization but also the wellbeing of the social and environmental ecosystem that feeds it."

The human race is in a profound shift producing a new paradigm of consciousness. Literature, education and science are converging to yield a new body of knowledge around the human experience. This book describes the 'Experience', a consciousness raising event that once felt, brings a powerful new sense of connectedness to humanity and the earth for ultimate life fulfillment. In this first volume, the author introduces the reader to the 'Experience' in a full spectrum of thinking and essays and lays the foundation to begin to awaken consciousness.

Europa har på femti år gjennomgått en demografisk revolusjon som kontinentet ikke var forberedt på. Behovet for arbeidskraft ble overdrevet, potensialet for konflikt og velferdsutfordringer ble sterkt undervurdert. Europa mottok millioner av nye innbyggere, men ble aldri noe i nærheten av en amerikansk smeltedigel. Istedet fikk vi parallellsamfunn. Islam utfordrer verdigrunnlaget som over tid har vokst fram i Europa, preget av sekularisme, likestilling, toleranse og ytringsfrihet. En voksende muslimsk minoritet har nå etablert en motkultur som utfordrer europeerne på alle slags måter. Den amerikanske journalisten Christopher Caldwell har rapportert fra Europa i mer enn ti år. Denne boken er en moderne klassiker. Om du ønsker å forstå dagens nyhetsbilde, kommer du ikke utenom dette godt dokumenterte og meget velskrevne verket. Perry Anderson har kalt boken "den mest overbevisende enkeltutgivelse, på noe språk, om innvandringen til Vest-Europa".

In light of cultural crises such as the Danish cartoon controversy and the terrorist attack on the Charlie Hebdo newspaper in Paris, Christopher Caldwell's incisive perspective has never been more timely or indispensible. Reflections on the Revolution in Europe is destined to become the classic work on how Muslim immigration permanently reshaped the West. This provocative and unflinching analysis of Europe's unexpected influx of immigrants investigates the increasingly prominent Muslim populations actively shaping the future of the continent. Muslims dominate or nearly dominate many important European cities, including Amsterdam and Rotterdam, Strasbourg and Marseille, the Paris suburbs and East London, and in those cities Islam has challenged the European way of life at every turn, becoming, in effect, an "adversary culture." In Reflections on the Revolution in Europe, Caldwell examines the anger of natives and newcomers alike. He exposes the strange ways in which welfare states interact with Third World customs, the anti-Americanism that brings European natives and Muslim newcomers together, and the arguments over women and sex that drive them apart. He considers the appeal of sharia, "resistance," and jihad to a second generation that is more alienated from Europe than the first, and addresses a crisis of faith among native Europeans that leaves them with a weak hand as they confront the claims of newcomers.

'We need books like this' Literary Review'Western Europe became a multiethnic society in a fit of absence of mind.'Taking us from English suburbs to Parisian housing estates, this provocative, unflinching and engrossing book tackles uncomfortable questions about immigration and Islam head-on, and asks: why can't we face the truth?
