Sinopsis

Compact Decisions explores how seemingly minor, rapidly-made political decisions can have profound and lasting impacts on history and politics. It challenges the notion that grand strategies alone shape historical outcomes, arguing instead that the accumulation of short-sighted choices often plays a more crucial role. For example, expedited legislative processes can unintentionally erode citizen rights, while quick-response foreign policy decisions can destabilize international relations. The book uniquely focuses on the often-overlooked area of immediate responses and their long-term consequences, rather than long-term strategic planning. It uses political science, historical analysis, and economic principles to analyze domestic policy and international relations case studies. 

 
Examining the impact of reactive governance, the book progresses from introducing the concept of compact decisions to analyzing specific historical instances. Through case studies and analysis of government documents, policy reports, and historical accounts, the author demonstrates how these decisions affect societies, economies, and international relations. 

 
The book concludes by offering a model for understanding and mitigating the risks associated with reactive decision-making, providing insights for policymakers and anyone interested in the complexities of governance.

    Begin the journey to freedom, even when the way is uncertain“Every page in Temper sizzles with ancient truth and brand new, desperately needed hope. The world is on fire—it’s true. Temper is our Emergency Exit.”—Glennon Doyle, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Untamed “Temper is challenging and heartbreaking, mystical and invitational, ancestral and glorious.”—Dr. Resmaa Menakem, New York Times bestselling author of My Grandmother’s HandsFreedom isn’t a distant, political goal, but rather something we can practice right now. Drawing on the ancestral wisdom of Harriet Tubman and other fugitives, the lineage of Black Feminism, and the discipline of martial arts, Autumn Brown teaches us how to temper our bodies and spirits for this resilient practice of freedom―exactly where we are. In this urgent and soulful book, Brown teaches you to: • Shift from a fugue state of trauma-induced dissociation to a fugitive state of alertness and agency to navigate the ever-changing world. • Stop the exhausting attempt to control your environment and start the practice of conditioning for the unknown. • Discover how your deepest sources of pain can connect you with ancestral wisdom. • Experience how falling apart together can create a sense of life-saving connectedness. Autumn writes, “We ask ourselves, with every choice we make, how are we building capacity, fortitude, strength, intuition, and resilience that births a future freedom we could all live and thrive in?” Step onto the fugitive path and discover the truth: you were made for this crossing.

    Somersaults: Through the Keyhole

    There are somersaults and there are somersaults. Physically … no big deal. Lots of people can do them. This book is about the other kind of somersaults – through life. In this case, from a little girl plunked into the mid-fifties in socialist Czechoslovakia to a rebel at school with beliefs twisted and turned by social storms. Then in 1968, her family lives through morphing into socialism with a human face, the consequent invasion of the Warsaw Pact armies, and ultimately, the Russian occupation. And eventually, for many ordinary people, the reality of the so-called Velvet Revolution of 1989. When the girl grows into a young woman, she fights with traditions and old thinking. Plenty of humour, the discovery of limits, many sides of the same coin, the power of friendship, stepping into worlds of taboo, and challenging one’s own fear – every somersault has consequences. Intimate, funny, honest. If you enjoyed this audiobook, try listening to the sequel: Czech Mate

  • Bohemians - A Very Short Introduction - cover

    Bohemians - A Very Short...

    The Romantic myth of Bohemia originated in the early nineteenth century as a way of describing the new conditions faced by artists and writers when the previous system of aristocratic patronage collapsed in the wake of the Age of Revolution. Without the patron system, the artist was free to move around, to seek an audience wherever fortune beckoned. This marketing model likening the artist's vagabond career to the "gypsy" life helps to explain part of the bohemian myth, but not all of it. Most bohemians have scant interest in commercial gain and are not so itinerant after all, confining their movements to down-market urban neighborhoods where the rent is cheap and the morals are loose. 
     
     
     
    This Very Short Introduction traces the myth of Bohemia through its various fictional manifestations, from Henry Murger's novel Scenes of Bohemian Life and Giacomo Puccini's opera La Bohème to Aki Kaurismäki's film La vie de Bohème and Jonathan Larson's musical Rent. It goes on to examine the history of different bohemian communities, including those in the Latin Quarter of Paris and the Greenwich Village neighborhood of New York. David Weir also considers the politics of Bohemia and traces the careers of the artists Gustave Courbet and Pablo Picasso and the great chanteuses Yvette Guilbert, Fréhel, and Edith Piaf in the Montmartre neighborhood of Paris.
