Summary

The concept of network has emerged as an intellectual centerpiece for our era. Network analysis also occupies a growing place in many of the social sciences. In international relations, however, network has too often remained a metaphor rather than a powerful theoretical perspective. In Networked Politics, a team of political scientists investigates networks in important sectors of international relations, including human rights, security agreements, terrorist and criminal groups, international inequality, and governance of the Internet. They treat networks as either structures that shape behavior or important collective actors. In their hands, familiar concepts, such as structure, power, and governance, are awarded new meaning.Contributors: Peter Cowhey, University of California, San Diego; Mette Eilstrup-Sangiovanni, University of Cambridge and Sidney Sussex College;Zachary Elkins, University of Texas at Austin; Emilie M.

    Who Governs? Democracy and Power in an American City by American political theorist Robert A. Dahl was a game-changer when it was first published in 1961, and remains one of the most influential books ever written in the field of political science.
    
    Here Dahl argues that American liberal democracy is a pluralist system in which policy is not, as you might think, shaped by a small group of powerful individuals. Rather, power is distributed among a number of competing groups, with each of these groups seeking to influence decisions.
    
    Dahl provides evidence for this by making a case study of the decision-making process in New Haven, Connecticut, where only the mayor has power in all areas. The city’s “highly competitive two-party system” leads Dahl to view the entire United States as New Haven writ large.
    
    Who Governs? is a key text of pluralist democratic theory, the thinking that dominated the way America studied the notion of power in the late 1950s and 1960s.

    Summary of Robert Gates's A Passion for Leadership is an advice manual for those who want to enact reform from a position of leadership in a bureaucratic organization. It also examines the challenges of reforming public sector institutions in the United States and some of the related experiences of Robert Gates, the author. 
    For the determined leader, reform is possible in any organization, especially if a leader sets goals and applies a clear strategy to meet those goals.

    A visionary case for a new monetary system that is interest-free, just and stableAs a medium of exchange, money is one of the most ingenious inventions of mankind, as it facilitates the trade of goods and services and allows for specialization and the division of labor. However, compound interest and inflation have caused our monetary system to balloon to the point where bailing out banks, large corporations, and even entire countries will not prevent a complete breakdown of the global economy-unless we change the system in fundamental ways.It's time for a grassroots movement to knock conventional money off its pedestal and replace it with a fresh paradigm that puts people before profits. A guide not only for the 99% but also for the 1%,  Occupy Money  demonstrates that the creation of a stable and sustainable monetary system will reflect real wealth rather than the smoke and mirrors of speculative profit, thus providing an alternative to the Age of Austerity. This vision can be realized through such creative initiatives as:Establishing time banks and complementary currencies geared to specific services such as health and educationEliminating interest through interest-free loans and "demurrage", which rewards currency circulationRe-localizing economies through regional currencies.For many years financial insiders have hidden economic truths by describing them in arcane terms that no layperson can understand.  Occupy Money  uses clear, simple and concise language to explain how money will serve people instead of people serving money, and in doing so it issues a challenge to the very foundations of conventional economic doctrine.

    In 1918, Paul Nazaroff was the ringleader of a desperate plot to overthrow the Bolsheviks in Central Asia. 
      
     He was betrayed by the Secret Police, who labeled him "the most dangerous counter-revolutionary at large in the Tashkent region." 
      
    As he fled from Lenin's men, he was aided by the indigenous peoples of the region, the Kirghiz and the Sarts, and for months he was forced to live the life of a hunted animal. 
      
    Marc Booth has written an intriguing introduction to this thrilling story of espionage and survival against all odds, as well as an epilogue that reveals Nazaroff's later fortunes.
