  How to BE the Change We Need -...

  Why doesn't our politics 'do what it says on the tin'? What on earth happened to 'Truth', 'Responsibility', 'Honesty' and 'Trust'? The words and concepts have long been familiar. They are all 'on the tin', so to speak. But not much sign, anywhere, of putting them into practice!   So what actually needs to change? Not just our values or our ideas but, surely, our behaviour, our habits. We don't just need a description of the changes we want to see, but an understanding of how we can BE those changes. And this is where meditation comes in.   Meditation not just as thinking, but as actions that we practise until they become habits. To enable us not only to think differently about politics but to develop forms of awareness that enable us to respond more effectively – with greater self-knowledge, imagination and sensitivity.   So this is a book for us to practise with, and the final section is a practical guide to meditation methods.   The details of the meditation practices are derived largely from the philosophical and psychological teachings of Buddhism, but the book is intended for those of any faith (or none) or of any political persuasion.   So enjoy: perhaps this book will make all the difference!

  Richard Sorge and the Cambridge...

  Charles River Editors

  Soviet Russia followed a philosophy demanding international, global revolution – which, in practice, often resembled conquest by any means available, direct or indirect. While the Soviets never hesitated to use naked force when it seemed advisable, or when compelled to it by outside attack, they made intensive use of covert operations – spying, assassination, bribery, infiltration of governments and educational systems, the deployment of agents provocateur and “agitprop” – in an effort to weaken other nations from within or possibly cause takeover by a friendly revolutionary regime.  
  Soviet agents operated in all European countries and others, but their main efforts naturally focused on the strongest potential rivals – Germany, the United States, and Great Britain. Intelligent, persistent, and ruthless, the Soviets succeeded in recruiting a considerable number of agents, including men from the British ruling class. 
  Their activities enabled the Soviets to capture and execute hundreds, if not thousands, of the opponents of their regime along with numbers of British agents. The men responsible for this unprecedented leaking of life-or-death information would enter history as the Cambridge Five – though in fact, they may have been only the core of a much larger group.  
  Occasionally, a spy will be so successful that they are able to place themselves in a position where they have access to information at the highest levels, secrets that really can change the course of world events. Sometimes, these spies may even be as handsome, charming, charismatic, and bold as their fictional counterparts.	One such spy was a man named Richard Sorge. Experiencing the horrors of World War I at first-hand turned Sorge into an ardent communist, after which he worked as a spy for the USSR in Germany, China, and Japan before and during World War II. He obtained vital military and political secrets and maintained his cover for over nine years.

  Aggression in the Schools -...

  Originally published in 1978, Aggression in the Schools: Bullies and Whipping Boys is widely considered to be the first scientific study of bullying. This was an investigation of a largely hidden and neglected problem in schools at the time—some children, whipping boys, were exposed over long periods of time to violence perpetrated by other children, bullies. 
  Based on five separate empirical studies involving approximately 1,000 boys 12–16 years old, this book analyzes the alarmingly high percentage of boys who had been classified as either whipping boys or bullies. Some aspects considered include the facets of the aggressive personality and the social-psychological mechanisms that cause several boys to take part in the oppression. Also discussed are the reduction of aggression inhibitions, cognitive changes, the distribution of personality, the role of the school, and the factors that determine predisposition to whipping boy or bully behavior. 
  Most significantly, a highly comprehensive program of change is proposed, which was based on utilizing the existing social environment of boys. The program consisted of a series of coordinated actions on the part of the school authorities, teachers, educational and school psychologists, welfare officers, pupils, and parents. 
  This important book led, in part, to the First National Campaign against Bullying in Norway. Today it can be understood in its historical context.

  Black Consciousness - A Love Story

  ‘If Steve Biko were alive today, we would have a country that gladly embraces African culture as the dominant driving force for how society is organised ...’ 
  In 1968, two young medical students, Steve Biko and Mamphela Ramphele, fell in love while dreaming of a life free from oppression and racial discrimination. Their love story is also the story of the founding of the Black Consciousness Movement (BCM) by a group of 15 principled and ambitious students at the University of Natal in Durban in the early 1970s. 
    
  In this deeply personal book, Hlumelo Biko, who was born of Steve and Mamphela’s union, movingly recounts his parents’ love story and how the BCM’s message of black self-love and self-reliance helped to change the course of South African history. 
    
  Based on interviews with some of the BCM’s founding members, Black Consciousness describes the early years of the movement in vivid detail and sets out its guiding principles around a positive black identity, black theology and the practice of Ubuntu through community-based programmes. 
    
  In spiritual conversation with his father, Hlumelo re-examines what it takes to live a Black Consciousness life in today’s South Africa. He also explains why he believes his father – who was brutally murdered by the apartheid police in 1977 – would have supported true radical economic transformation if he were alive today.
