  The way we glow when having a great conversation, building off each other’s ideas, finding solutions we can all be satisfied with. The way we spark together when marching in protest. This is living democracy. 
  Yes, the world looks bleak. Across our society there’s a mounting sense of desperation in the face of the climate crisis, gaping economic inequality and racial injustice, increasing threat of war, and a post-truth politics divorced from reality. Extinction is in the air. 
  But what if the solutions to our ecological, social and political crises could all be found in the same approach? What if it was possible for us to not just survive, but thrive? 
  In Living Democracy, Tim Hollo offers bold ideas and a positive vision. It’s the end of the world as we know it, but it doesn’t have to be the end of the world. In fact, around the globe, people and communities are beginning an exciting new journey. 
  This book will inspire you, inform you, and get you fired up to co-create our common future. A living democracy.

  Finalist, 2024 Writers' Trust Shaughnessy Cohen Prize for Political Writing 
   
   
   
  These days, everyone feels insecure. We are financially stressed and emotionally overwhelmed. The status quo isn't working for anyone, even those who appear to have it all. What is going on? 
   
   
   
  In this urgent cultural diagnosis, author and activist Astra Taylor exposes how seemingly disparate crises—rising inequality and declining mental health, the ecological emergency, and the threat of authoritarianism—originate from a social order built on insecurity. From home ownership and education to the wellness industry and policing, many of the institutions and systems that promise to make us more secure actually undermine us. 
   
   
   
  Mixing social critique, memoir, history, political analysis, and philosophy, this genre-bending book rethinks both insecurity and security from the ground up. By facing our existential insecurity and embracing our vulnerability, Taylor argues, we can begin to develop more caring, inclusive, and sustainable forms of security to help us better weather the challenges ahead. The Age of Insecurity will transform how you understand yourself and society—while illuminating a path toward meaningful change.

  The Illusory Bargain - Liberty...

  Out-of-control debt. Populism. Political vitriol and corruption. Where did America go wrong? Or rather, when did America go wrong?
  
  1913. The Seventeenth Amendment is ratified, allowing the people of America to vote directly for their senators in the US senate. The same year, the Federal Reserve Act is passed, establishing a central bank to oversee monetary policy. In The Illusory Bargain, Ralph H. Lehman demonstrates that these seemingly empowering and people-serving pieces of legislature were just that-an illusion. Tracing the vision of the Founding Fathers as outlined in The Federalist Papers, Lehman reveals how the safety features of the original constitutional framework have eroded since and given way to rampant abuse of power and arbitrary, tyrannical law.
  
  Through fresh, historically informed insights and over twenty years of financial expertise, Lehman reexamines the nation's fundamental values and proposes what may be the only course of action left to restore our liberty.

  Universities on Fire - Higher...

  In 2019, intense fires in the San Francisco Bay Area closed universities and drove afflicted people to shelter at other campuses. At the same time, extraordinary fires ravaged eastern Australia. Several universities responded by promising material and research support to damaged businesses while also hosting refugees and emergency response teams in student residence halls. This was an echo of the devastation wreaked by Hurricane Katrina on Tulane University in 2005.In Universities on Fire, futurist Bryan Alexander explores higher education during an age of unfolding climate crisis. Powered by real-world examples and the latest research, Alexander assesses practical responses and strategies by surveying contemporary programs and academic climate research from around the world. He establishes a model of how academic institutions may respond and offers practical pathways forward for higher education. How will the two main purposes of education—teaching and research—change as the world heats up? Alexander positions colleges and universities in the broader social world, from town-gown relationships to connections between how campuses and civilization as a whole respond to this epochal threat.Current studies of climate change trace the likely implications across a range of domains, from agriculture to policy, urban design, technology, culture, and human psychology. However, few books have predicted or studied the effects of the climate crisis on colleges and universities. By connecting climate research to a deep, futures-informed analysis of academia, Universities on Fire explores how climate change will fundamentally reshape higher education.

  Stewardship - The Responsible...

  Stewardship is a comprehensive approach to management that emphasizes responsible care and accountability for the resources entrusted to individuals, organizations, and communities. At its core, stewardship requires an understanding of both the tangible and intangible values of these resources and a commitment to ensuring they are used in a manner that preserves their potential for future generations. This chapter explores the historical evolution, philosophical underpinnings, and modern applications of stewardship, offering readers a solid grounding in the fundamental principles that guide responsible management. 
  Historically, the concept of stewardship can be traced back to ancient civilizations where caring for community resources was integral to societal survival and growth. Early cultures recognized the importance of balancing consumption with preservation, creating frameworks that emphasized duty, trust, and ethical responsibility. As societies evolved, these early principles laid the groundwork for more complex systems of governance and ethical management, adapting to meet the challenges of rapidly changing environments. This evolution underscores that stewardship is not a static concept but a dynamic practice that reflects the values and needs of the times. 
  In today’s world, stewardship extends far beyond basic resource management. It embraces sustainable practices, ethical leadership, and a long-term vision necessary for navigating the complexities of modern challenges in finance, the environment, and social structures. Central to this approach is the belief that effective management involves a deep respect for all resources—natural, financial, and human—and a commitment to their wise utilization. By integrating time-honored values with contemporary techniques, stewardship creates resilient frameworks that enable organizations to adapt to change while maintaining their core principles.
