  Chokepoint Capitalism - How Big...

  A call to action for the creative class and labor movement to rally against the power of Big Tech and Big Media 
  Corporate concentration has breached the stratosphere, as have corporate profits. An ever-expanding constellation of industries are now monopolies (where sellers have excessive power over buyers) or monopsonies (where buyers hold the whip hand over sellers)—or both. 
  In Chokepoint Capitalism, scholar Rebecca Giblin and writer and activist Cory Doctorow argue we’re in a new era of “chokepoint capitalism,” with exploitative businesses creating insurmountable barriers to competition that enable them to capture value that should rightfully go to others. All workers are weakened by this, but the problem is especially well-illustrated by the plight of creative workers. From Amazon’s use of digital rights management and bundling to radically change the economics of book publishing, to Google and Facebook’s siphoning away of ad revenues from news media, and the Big Three record labels’ use of inordinately long contracts to up their own margins at the cost of artists, chokepoints are everywhere. 
  By analyzing book publishing and news, live music and music streaming, screenwriting, radio and more, Giblin and Doctorow deftly show how powerful corporations construct “anti-competitive flywheels” designed to lock in users and suppliers, make their markets hostile to new entrants, and then force workers and suppliers to accept unfairly low prices. 
  In the book’s second half, Giblin and Doctorow then explain how to batter through those chokepoints, with tools ranging from transparency rights to collective action and ownership, radical interoperability, contract terminations, job guarantees, and minimum wages for creative work.

  An inappropriate comment drops during your team meeting. What happens next depends on who’s in that room. Allies stand by. Accomplices take action. Which one are you? 
  Seena Hodges has spent decades watching smart, well-meaning leaders and organizations fail this exact test. She wrote this book for everyone who's ever sat frozen in that moment to help them dig into the difficult work of becoming the best, most understanding, and empathetic versions of themselves. 
  Through personal reflections, real-life examples, data-driven strategies, a framework based on engagement and accountability, and coaching questions at the end of every chapter, you’ll develop the confidence to move to action to: 
  leverage privilege positions to challenge norms and create inclusive environments, 
  engage in difficult conversations and listen to diverse lived experiences and perspectives, 
  reflect on language, ways to show up, and the role that organizations play, 
  increase self-awareness around issues of race and racial injustice, and 
  develop an antiracist lens

  The important role of play, sound, music, and the heart for life-long learning, joy and parenting is presented in this wonderfully readable synthesis of scientific research and story.  Biologist, educator and author, Carla Hannaford, beautifully reinforces what we instinctively know will heal our family, societal and global wounds, with current understandings of how we structure our reality through our heart, brain, emotions, actions and intention.  Her remarkable insights and "how to's" will be of great and immediate value to people of all ages who are ready to deeply connect with the full potential of their child heart and play again, for their own good. 
  "An extraordinary, remarkable, and profoundly important work.  Dr. Hannaford has tackled the most fundamental and critical issues of our time with a thoroughness and intelligence I didn't expect between the two covers of a single book.   To write on seriously complex issues with such simplicity and clarity is itself a work of art, and mark of a remarkable talent".  ---Joseph Chilton Pearce

  Letters to a Young Teacher -...

  This is not a manual. It’s a quiet act of rebellion. 
  Letters to a Young Teacher is a poetic and piercing exchange between two educators — a seasoned guide and a young teacher navigating burnout, grief, and the quiet longing to feel again. 
  What begins as an honest back-and-forth becomes a reckoning with perfectionism, a gentle rebellion against performative strength, and a soft return to joy. 
  These letters don’t preach. They breathe. They carry tools that don’t demand, stories that regulate the body, and language that grants permission — to rest, to feel again, to reclaim wonder. 
  For anyone who leads while still learning to stand. 
  Paul O’Neill is the author of Back into Delight and the Neuro-Resilience Skills series, helping leaders stay clear, calm, and connected — so their teams can move as one. 
  Francinne Kaye Gacilo is an educator and coach who brings the heart of a teacher to every role — from classroom care to digital transformation.
