The Ten Legal Cases That Made Modern Britain

Inigo Bing

Sinossi

LIFE. SEX. RACE. POWER. FREE SPEECH. PROTEST. PRIVACY. DEMOCRACY. SOVEREIGNTY. DEATH.
Society shapes law… and law shapes society.
We like to imagine that progress comes about when Parliament spots a looming groundswell in public opinion and responds by changing the laws that govern our daily lives. This is not always true.
In this fascinating book, Inigo Bing unravels ten legal cases in which the decisions of judges or a jury either heralded a shift in outlook or forced Parliament to respond to simmering social change.
Some of these cases demonstrate the role judges have in defending our civil liberties against overweening executive power, articulating inherent unwritten rights Parliament would prefer to keep quiet about. Others explore what happens when rapid technological or social change outpaces government, placing urgent ethical dilemmas in the lap of the court. All of them have had a lasting impact on the society we inhabit.
Taken together, these stories provide a powerful insight into eighty years of British social, political and cultural history, illustrating why legal cases are just as important to making our world as laws written by Parliament or grassroots changes within society.

Civics for the World to Come -...

Antero Garcia, Nicole Mira

Help students use their voices to build an equitable and just society. 
 
 
 
Years of political violence and protests against injustice have revived interest in teaching civics in schools. The problem? Civic education—as it currently exists—privileges systems, not students. It promotes incremental change within a broken democracy rather than responding to the youth-led movements that call for the abolition of inequitable social structures. What will it take to prepare young people for the just future they are fighting for? 
 
 
 
Civics for the World to Come offers educators a framework for designing the critical civic education that our students deserve. Synthesizing perspectives on democratic life from critical race theory, ethnic studies, Afrofuturism, and critical literacy, the book presents key practices for cultivating youth civic agency grounded in equity and justice. The authors explore five world-building civic skills (Inquiry, Storytelling, Imagination, Networking, and Advocacy) and introduce listeners to real learning communities where students and educators are transforming themselves and society.

Intellectual Anarchy - The Art...

Patrick K Sullivan

So how do we move the future from the distant horizon to the present day? We need Intellectual Anarchy.
The accelerating challenges facing our planet—such as climate change, food scarcity, sustainable energy, overpopulation, nuclear proliferation, income inequality, and rising healthcare costs—are solvable. The question is not if, but when.
All these challenges directly impact our lives and our unwritten future. They have enormous economic consequences for humans and society. They also provide incredible opportunities for investors and innovators. This is a book about how we can find disruptive solutions to hard problems, problems so difficult that they can seem impossible. Problems of that magnitude demand radical new ideas—an incremental approach won’t work. Their solutions seemingly come out of left field, defying conventional wisdom, and overturning existing industries, practices, and business models.
This book details the Intellectual Anarchy methodology followed at Oceanit for generating disruptive solutions to these problems and taking them from the idea stage all the way to market—Mind-to-Market, including financing innovations to overcome the scarcity of venture capital anywhere away from the conventional tech hubs.
Oceanit operates from Hawai‘i, the most remote location in the world. Yet today Oceanit works across the world with just about everybody—the US government, Fortune 100 companies, and more than sixty universities—partnering and collaborating as we research, invent, and produce technology in energy, aerospace, life sciences, information technology, sustainability, and resiliency.
If Oceanit’s Intellectual Anarchy model works in Hawai‘i, it can work anywhere.
