Synopsis

The Art of Delivery ventures inside 10 Downing Street at the turn of the millennium to unveil how Tony Blair's government successfully transformed the public services we value most.
Though the Blair government had a huge mandate, there remained fundamental challenges to success – not least the Blair–Brown rivalry, which manifested itself in a proxy war over the direction of public service reform. Nevertheless, over four years, the Prime Minister's Delivery Unit, led by Sir Michael Barber, upgraded the way in which the British government implemented improvements to the NHS and the education system. It also represented a watershed for how Prime Ministers engage with the real-world delivery of their priorities.
Until now, much of this narrative has remained untold. Based on brand-new research and analysis, Michelle Clement uncovers the full story, drawing on 600,000 words of Sir Michael Barber's unpublished, handwritten private diaries as well as exclusive interviews and government papers. Filled with revealing insider detail, this is a human account of what it takes to effect change from behind that famous black door.

    "Are You Calling Me a Racist?" -...

    Despite decades of anti-racism workshops and diversity policies in corporations, schools, and nonprofit organizations, racial conflict has only increased in recent years. "Are You Calling Me a Racist?" reveals why these efforts have failed to effectively challenge racism and offers a new way forward. 
     
     
     
    Drawing from her own experience, as well as extensive interviews and analyses of contemporary events, Sarita Srivastava shows that racial encounters among well-meaning people are ironically hindered by the emotional investment they have in being seen as good people. Diversity workshops devote energy to defending, recuperating, educating, and inwardly reflecting, with limited results, and often make things worse. These "Feel-Good politics of race," Srivastava explains, train our focus on the therapeutic and educational, rather than on concrete practices that could move us towards true racial equity. In this type of approach to diversity training, people are more concerned about being called a racist than they are about changing racist behavior. 
     
     
     
    "Are You Calling Me a Racist?" is a much-needed challenge to the status quo of diversity training, and will serve as a valuable resource for anyone dedicated to dismantling racism in their communities, educational institutions, public or private organizations, and social movements.

    A former law enforcement agent details his adventures during his career working undercover in this memoir. 
     
    “I just want to make sure I’ve got this right. You hanged all three of them? . . .”  
     
    That’s how it began, a case where the cops are crooks and the crooks are cops, a kidnapping where the victim is the bad guy, and the good guys must cross some lines to get him back. Welcome to the upside down and backward world of the undercover agent, where nothing is as it seems, and people—including the undercover—may not be what they appear. Going Under: Kidnapping, Murder, and A Life Undercover by former undercover agent John Madinger takes you into that world, and closer to the truth of the undercover experience than any other law enforcement memoir has ever gone. 
     
    “What is it like to work undercover?” You’re a sheepdog in wolf’s clothing, running with the pack, and Madinger ran with the wolves for almost two decades. Now he shares his story to give you a unique look at American crime and the “War on Drugs” from the perspective of both cops and criminals. You’ll go with the undercover cops to meetings with street-corner hustlers and rip-off artists and into the lives of America’s biggest rock stars, the world’s richest man, an Academy Award–winning actor, the marijuana traffickers conspiring to assassinate a federal judge, and the President of the United States. It’s an amazing ride, and there has never been another story like it.
