  Named one of The Progressive magazine's Favorite Books of the Year 
  An inside look at the organizers and artists on the front lines of political mobilization and social change 
  “Ken [Grossinger] is one of the smartest strategists I know.” —John Sweeney, AFL-CIO president, 1995–2009 
  An artist’s mural of George Floyd becomes an emblem of a renewed movement for racial equality. A documentary film injects fuel into a popular mobilization to oust a Central American dictator. Freedom songs course through the American civil rights movement. 
  When artists and organizers combine forces, new forms of political mobilization follow—which shape lasting social change. And yet few people appreciate how much deliberate strategy often propels this vital social change work. Behind the scenes, artists, organizers, political activists, and philanthropists have worked together to hone powerful strategies for achieving the world we want and the world we need. 
  In Art Works, noted movement leader Ken Grossinger chronicles these efforts for the first time, distilling lessons and insights from grassroots leaders and luminaries such as Ai Weiwei, Courtland Cox, Jackson Browne, Shepard Fairey, Jane Fonda, Elizabeth Alexander, Bill McKibben, JR, Jose Antonio Vargas, and more. Drawing from historical and present-day examples—including Black Lives Matter, Standing Rock, the Hip Hop Caucus, the Legacy Museum, and the Art for Justice Fund—Grossinger offers a rich tapestry of tactics and successes that speak directly to the challenges and needs of today’s activists and of these political times.

  Heretics

  Heretics by G. K. Chesterton is a thought-provoking collection of essays that critiques the intellectual and cultural trends of his time. Chesterton challenges the prevailing ideologies of modernity, targeting thinkers and movements he views as undermining tradition, faith, and common sense. With sharp wit and eloquence, he defends the necessity of orthodoxy—not as rigid dogma, but as a foundation for truth and sanity in an increasingly skeptical world. Chesterton argues that rejecting universal truths leads to fragmented philosophies and moral relativism, leaving humanity adrift. Through his characteristic blend of humor, paradox, and profound insight, he calls for a return to enduring values rooted in Christianity. Heretics is both a defense of belief and a celebration of the imaginative vitality that faith inspires, making it a timeless critique of doubt and a call to embrace meaning in a chaotic age.

  An urban myth is often quoted that you are never further than six feet from a rat in any built-up area.  The true figure is nearer one hundred and fifty feet but that too seems too close for comfort. 
   
  Wherever these creatures settle there is an undeniable fear amongst most of us that they are malevolent, vile and disgusting creatures.  A chill and a shudder are our bodies natural reactions.  Fear lurks in our hearts and souls. 
   
  Enter our storied arena of authors.  This, for them, is fertile territory with which to torment and torture the reader and listener with all sorts of dark deeds that, somehow, we just can’t resist.  
   
  From the macabre and talented pens of Lovecraft, Stoker, James we add Cowles and Mann and others to assault your ears.

  A Somewhat Improbable Story -...

  G K Chesterton

  G K Chesterton (29 May 1874 – 14 June 1936) was a poet, novelist, playwright, literary commentator, editor, biographer, journalist, orator and theologian.  He was often dubbed as the “prince of paradox” for his light whimsical style that often addressed serious issues such as politics and religion.  The latter was as a member and defender of the Christian faith and the former was shaped by a distrust of concentrated wealth and power.  He advocated Distributionism and said that every man should be allowed to own "three acres and a cow."  These political views have spread round the world, crediting Chesterton as the father of the “small is beautiful” movement.  It is also said to have influenced Gandhi in seeking a genuine nationalism for India rather than imitating the British state.   
  Chesterton was remarkably prolific but perhaps his most famous creation is Father Brown.  Within this character Chesterton’s clever writing and profound ideas reveal truths, often with humour as the detective priest pursues the answers to his cases.
