  Social Entrepreneurship in...

  Public and political interest in social entrepreneurship (SE) is increasing while it remains a contested and ambiguous concept. Philipp Kenel traces the popular media representation of SE in Germany over time (1999—2021), making an important empirical contribution to the sociological and political understanding of the phenomenon. He shows that until 2008, SE was mainly understood as a reform of the welfare infrastructure (including public and non-profit institutions). From 2009, SE was increasingly conceptualised as part of the economy, while sometimes challenging and other times reaffirming mainstream economic logics. More recently, in somewhat competing perspectives, SE has been framed as part of the ›start-up‹ world or as a force for deeper social and ecological transformation.

  Mikhail Khodorkovsky is one of the most astute observers of today's Russia. Imprisoned for a decade in Russia's prisons on politically motivated charges, he knows all too well the best and the worst of his country. He now lives in exile and, like many Russians who live abroad, he longs for the day when he can return to a free and democratic Russia. 
   
   
   
  This book is Khodorkovsky's account of what is happening in Russia today and what could happen in the future. Putin will not last forever: sooner or later, there will be a post-Putin era. But Russia's history has been deeply shaped by an autocratic trap: a revolution against an autocracy has produced another autocracy, followed by another revolution and another autocracy, and so on. If Russia is to find its place as a constructive partner in a global community of civilized nations, then it has to escape this vicious cycle. 
   
   
   
  How to Slay a Dragon is Khodorkovsky's account of his own journey and of how the vicious cycle of Russian history can be broken. He charts a pathway towards a parliamentary federal republic which would enable Russia to become a free and democratic society, living in peace and without dragons.

  Nobel Prize recipient Muhammad Yunus profiles 20 Nobel Peace Prize laureates with Multi-Grammy-winning producer and New York Times bestselling author Kabir Sehgal, Monica Yunus, and Camille Zamora, teaching readers to incorporate lessons from each laureate's life into their own. When Swedish chemist and engineer Alfred B. Nobel passed in 1896, he left several millions in his will to establish the Nobel Peace Prize, awarded annually in six concentrations: peace, literature, physics, chemistry, physiology or medicine, and economic science. Since its establishment, there have been over 130 Nobel Peace laureates selected, each bringing his/her own unique experiences and lessons forward as an example to others.  In LEGION OF PEACE, Nobel Prize winner Muhammad Yunus, Kabir Sehgal, Monica Yunus, and Camille Zamora profile 20 prize recipients in a narrative accompanied by songs inspired by these great leaders, composed by Grammy-nominated children's artist Lori Henriques Quintet and three-time Grammy-nominated pianist Joey Alexander. Through this lyrical narrative, the authors share stories of these laureates' seemingly ordinary actions that transformed their lives and communities. The authors assign a superpower to each laureate that exemplifies the one basic principle that guided their actions, demonstrating to readers that all people from vastly different backgrounds can be connected by a common thread to come together to form a legion of peace.

  Sowing Hate and Chaos - How...

  If you've been baffled at how citizens of the United States, even people you know, could turn against their democracy, there is an answer. There is a method of psychological manipulation that can be used to turn someone from a citizen of a peaceful democratic society into someone who feels he or she must destroy the existing political system to save their nation. It has been used successfully to collapse nations in violent chaos and install autocratic regimes at least four times in the last century. Now it's being used against American citizens through social media and other channels, with startling results. 
   
  Mary Wald's meticulously researched book, Sowing Hate and Chaos, pulls the curtain back to show how what is happening in our country isn't a natural evolution of events or "pendulum swing," but a carefully planned and executed campaign that uses experimental and behavioral psychology to manipulate the American people toward hatred and violence—without their even realizing it's happening. 
   
  "The world is astonished to witness events in the United States and the willingness of some Americans to dismantle their own democracy. Sowing Hate and Chaos, written by one of my most trusted associates, is a vital work for understanding and navigating the dangerous waters ahead for the United States and other democracies." –José Ramos Horta, President Timor-Leste, Nobel Peace Prize laureate
