  The Civic Brand: The Power & Responsibility of Place is a bold and practical book that challenges conventional thinking about city-building, tourism, economic development, and community engagement. Author Ryan Short introduces a new framework for shaping more resilient, equitable, and loveable places that is rooted in identity, values, and a triple bottom line. 
  Drawing from years of experience working with cities, counties, and regions across the country, Ryan Short shows how fragmented efforts, siloed departments, and surface-level branding have left communities struggling to grow with intention or preserve what makes them special. The Civic Brand reveals how place branding, when done right, isn’t just logos or slogans, but about uniting people, guiding policy, and building shared civic pride. Blending strategic insight with vivid, often entertaining stories from the field, this book brings to life the challenges and triumphs of real places navigating growth, decline, and identity. 
  Whether facing overtourism or decline, rapid growth or disinvestment, division or disengagement, this book offers a bold path forward. It’s a call to city leaders, planners, business owners, developers, and residents alike to recognize their role in shaping place and to do so with purpose. 
  The Civic Brand is more than a book, it’s a movement to reimagine how we care for the places we call home.

  World War II was the largest and most violent armed conflict in the history of mankind. Highly relevant today, World War II has much to teach us, not only about the profession of arms, but also about military preparedness, global strategy, and combined operations in the coalition war against fascism. This book follows military operations of the US Army in the Ryukyus, Japan from 26 March to 2 July 1945. 
  In late September 1944 the Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) in Washington decided to invade Okinawa, the largest island in the Ryukyu Islands, as part of a strategy to defeat Japan. The effort was code-named Operation ICEBERG. Okinawa had initially emerged as an objective in the spring of 1943, when the Allies believed that an invasion of the home islands might be necessary to force Tokyo's surrender. Possession of Okinawa would give the American forces additional, better-positioned air bases for intensifying the air campaign against the home islands and also provide important anchorages and staging areas for the huge, ambitious effort needed to invade Japan.
  Beginning in late September 1944 American aircraft and submarines began to tighten a noose around the Ryukyus, making surface shipping extremely hazardous for the Japanese. Heavy bombers of the Fourteenth and Twentieth Air Forces and carrier planes from Admiral William F. Halsey's Third Fleet struck repeatedly at Japanese positions in the Philippines, Taiwan, and the Ryukyu Islands. On 29 September B-29 bombers conducted the initial reconnaissance mission over Okinawa and its outlying islands. On 10 October nearly two hundred of Admiral Halsey's planes struck Naha, Okinawa's capital and principal city, in five separate waves. The city was almost totally devastated. The American war against Japan was coming inexorably closer to the Japanese homeland...

  There are many ways to fall down the rabbit-hole – and it may be far easier than you realise.
  Research analyst Aoife Gallagher has spent years investigating the darkest corners of the internet, but what happens when the online world spills into real life? Web of Lies is a fascinating deep dive into the rising threat of conspiratorial thought in Ireland and internationally, and explores how the internet is being used to spread disinformation – polarising society and radicalising people into extremism in the process.
  With balance and fairness, Gallagher connects the worldʼs oldest hatreds to current online cultures, showing how conspiratorial thinking can proliferate during times of crisis and how to recognise its most harmful impacts. Web of Lies is an urgent, provocative but ultimately hopeful call to protect ourselves and our loved ones, before itʼs too late . . . …
  'Ever wondered how good people get trapped in their worst nightmares? Web of Lies is an unforgettable journey through the upside-down world of conspiratorial thinking. Aoife Gallagher has written the definitive account of how global lies have changed Irish lives, in a book full of personal empathy, unrivalled expertise and captivating storytelling. It shines a light on the real-world harm of our darkest online fantasies and it shows how each of us can fight back.' Mark Little
  'At a time of fractious discord in discourse, Gallagher provides a vital context to and education in the strange and alarming world of conspiracy theories. Anyone interested in truth and facts should read this book.' Una Mullally
  'Aoife Gallagher can plumb the depths of the internet and come up to the surface to explain what she's found with levity, empathy and humour. Wise without lecturing; sharp but always maintaining compassion for those caught up in misinformation. A fantastic global overview of trends while having one eye on how these things have come to Ireland.' Brianna Parkins

  White Poverty The Invisible...

  A deacon once approached Reverend William J. Barber II in his church study, asking for help with a young woman’s $50 light bill. Deacons, like this retired Black man in North Carolina, have a long tradition of serving the vulnerable. Barber agreed to help but realized the deacon couldn’t see the deeper issue: the woman worked two jobs and still struggled. This blindness to poverty isn’t a personal failure but a result of societal myths. 
  Barber, inspired by biblical prophets, believes in calling attention to the unseen poor. He has met poor people across America who share their stories, asking not for bailouts but for recognition. Nearly 40 million Americans are officially poor, but this number is misleading. The outdated Official Poverty Measure doesn’t account for today’s high cost of living. 
  Many Americans live paycheck to paycheck, with real wages lower than 50 years ago. Wealth inequality has grown, with the richest 1 percent owning more than the combined wealth of 80 percent of the population. Politicians avoid naming this crisis, and myths about poverty persist. Researchers have found that 140 million Americans are poor or low-income, including 66 million white people. Most of America’s poor are white.
