  My Whirlwind Lives - Navigating...

  Our recent storms didn't start in 2020 or 2016. They started decades ago in the 1960s - a whirlwind of threatened nuclear catastrophe, then police dogs and rednecks terrorizing civil rights marchers down south, then Vietnamese children fleeing from napalm flames. Then draft notices to go to Vietnam to "fight commies." 
  A small town boy started by supporting rightist Goldwater against the "peace candidate" Johnson, but rapidly changed in the face of the civil rights and anti-war movements, and started a quest that hasn't ended yet. 
  This book tells Dee Knight's story of "waking up" to the truth about the US war in Vietnam, then refusing the draft and going to Canada where he lived for six years. It relates the years-long campaign for amnesty, in which Knight was a leader. After war resisters won a partial amnesty, Knight continued campaigning against US wars up to the present day. 
  There are chapters on: 
  The political storms of 1968 
  Exile life in Canada 
  The years-long campaign for universal unconditional amnesty 
  Antiwar veterans and active duty soldiers and sailors, including the sanctuary movement 
  Witnessing Portugal's "Carnation Revolution" of 1975 
  Living and working in Sandinista Nicaragua 
  Socialism and the Green New Deal 
  "Messages from the Future" 
  Reflections on the Pandemic 
  The Battle to Expand and Protect Democracy 
  Appendices on Vietnam's victory in 1975, and on the reality of life and politics in China

  Your calendar is full, your inbox never ends, and Slack keeps blinking—so why does real work never get done? 
  Deep Work Habits shows knowledge workers how to stop living in constant task switching and start finishing the work that actually moves their career forward. 
  Inside, you’ll learn how to: 
  •	Protect deep work blocks in a meeting-heavy, notification-driven workplace. 
  •	Reduce digital noise without falling behind or “going off the grid.” 
  •	Lower cognitive load so your brain has the bandwidth to think, write, plan, and solve real problems. 
  •	End the day with clean closure instead of mental spillover. 
  This isn’t about willpower or quitting technology. It’s about redesigning your defaults so focus becomes normal again. 
  You don’t need more time. You need fewer interruptions

  Why I Care: And why care matters

  Sir Ed Davey

  • 0

  • 0

  A Telegraph Greatest Book of the YearA deeply personal account of life as a carer and a call to support those who care for others 
  'Ed Davey wants to rewrite British politics – not with the language of crisis, but that of care. … He offers something rare – moral clarity rooted in lived experience.' Guardian 
  'Caring is how we know we’re alive. The good in all of us has been shaped by care. Hold a mirror up to that, and we’ll realise our potential.' 
  Care is the thread that runs through Ed’s life. Aged only four, Ed lost his father. When his mother also became ill with cancer, Ed and his brothers nursed her at home until she died when Ed was just 15. That formative experience was one of the main inspirations in seeking election, and with it the opportunity to take action. Now, he and his wife care for their son John, who has severe physical and learning disabilities, as well as raising their younger daughter. So Ed has real knowledge of the emotional, physical and financial challenges faced by legions of carers in Britain today. 
  Why I Care is both a deeply personal story, drawing on Ed’s own experiences, and a book that reflects the stories of people everywhere to offer a vision of change. Shedding light on the often-invisible world of carers, he calls for society, our government and our institutions to recognise, support, and lift up the silent carers who form the backbone of our communities. 
  This isn’t just Ed’s story. It's the story of millions. 
  Why I Care is non-fiction with the intimacy of autobiography and the sweep of biography, illuminating the mental pressures and health issues that too often remain unseen. By linking personal experience to social and political policy, it argues for renewed welfare and stronger public services that treat carers as essential, not invisible.

  In this new edition, Samuel P. Hays expands the scope of his pioneering account of the ways in which Americans reacted to industrialism during its early years from 1885 to 1914. Hays now deepens his coverage of cultural transformations in a study well known for its concise treatment of political and economic movements.Hays draws on the vast knowledge of America’s urban and social history that has been developed over the last thirty-eight years to make the second edition an unusually well-rounded study. He enhances the original coverage of politics, labor, and business with new accounts of the growth of cities, the rise of modern values, cultural conflicts with Native Americans and foreign nations, and changing roles for women, African-Americans, education, religion, medicine, law, and leisure. The result is a tightly woven portrait of America in transition that underscores the effects of impersonal market forces and greater personal freedom on individuals and chronicles such changes as the rise of social inequality, shifting power, in the legal system, the expansion of the federal government, and the formation of the Populist, Progressive, and Socialist parties.
