  Rebuilding You: The Philanthropy...

  Can giving away your wealth as a philanthropist possibly be more difficult than creating your wealth in the first place?  The answer according to seasoned philanthropist Tej Kohli is a resounding ‘yes’.  In ‘Rebuilding You: The Philanthropy Handbook’ Tej Kohli sets out to share the wisdom that he has garnered during his two-decade transition into philanthropy so that would-be philanthropists can avoid common mistakes and maximize their own impact. 
  Tej Kohli says that you don’t need to have the wealth of Bill Gates, Warren Buffet or Michael Milken to be able to make a difference as a philanthropist and that anyone with wealth can help others.  But many of the formulas upon which would-be philanthropists have built their wealth simply will not work as they start to give their wealth away.  To succeed as a philanthropist, you must also be ready to change your analysis and how you think.  You must rebuild you.  
  In ‘Rebuilding You’ Tej Kohli conveys the wisdom of his own experiences across ten themed chapters to address questions such as: Why after working so hard to become a success would you pivot into a brand-new career based on giving your wealth away to others?  Do you need an eponymous charitable Foundation?  Should you back a cause célèbre or support a little-known and unmet need?  And should you focus on your local community or impoverished nations? 
  Rebuilding You: The Philanthropy Handbook is essential reading for any aspiring philanthropist.  It provides a useful framework for synthesizing new ideas and for plotting a journey even when the final destination is not yet clear.  The accompanying stories about Tej Kohli’s own journey are highly personal, emotive and informative, and serve as a stark reminder that becoming a philanthropist is not about you, but about what you can do for your fellow humans.

  Mirror in the Sky - The Life and...

  Simon Morrison

  • 0

  A stunning musical biography of Stevie Nicks that paints a portrait of an artist, not a caricature of a superstar. 
   
   
   
  Reflective and expansive, Mirror in the Sky situates Stevie Nicks as one of the finest songwriters of the twentieth century. 
   
   
   
  This biography from distinguished music historian Simon Morrison examines Nicks as a singer and songwriter before and beyond her career with Fleetwood Mac, from the Arizona landscape of her childhood to the strobe-lit Night of 1000 Stevies celebrations. 
   
   
   
  The book uniquely: 
   
   
   
  ● Analyzes Nicks's craft—the grain of her voice, the poetry of her lyrics, the melodic and harmonic syntax of her songs. 
   
   
   
  ● Identifies the American folk and country influences on her musical imagination that place her within a distinctly American tradition of women songwriters. 
   
   
   
  ● Draws from oral histories and surprising archival discoveries to connect Nicks's story to those of California's above- and underground music industries, innovations in recording technology, and gendered restrictions.

Reimagining the Classroom: Creating New Learning Spaces and Connecting with the World provides practical steps and examples that parents and educators can use to begin to create new learning spaces, approaches, and outcomes. Dr. Richards's provocative book asks us to reconsider some of our basic assumptions about teaching and learning.

  ● Discover practical tools for creating educational spaces that prepare students for the world 
   
   
   
  ● Help students express their values and learn to live in community 
   
   
   
  ● Replace or supplement school with at-home learning and activities

  Unsettling Choice - Race Rights...

  Ujju Aggarwal

  What do universal rights to public goods like education mean when codified as individual, private choices? Is the "problem" of school choice actually not about better choices for all but about the competition and exclusion that choice engenders? Unsettling Choice addresses such questions through a compelling ethnography that illuminates how one path of neoliberal restructuring in the United States emerged in tandem with, and in response to, the Civil Rights movement. 
   
   
   
  Unsettling Choice traces the contestations that surfaced when, in the wake of the 2007–2009 Great Recession, public schools navigated austerity by expanding choice-based programs. Ujju Aggarwal argues that this strategy mobilized mechanisms rooted in market logics to recruit families with economic capital on their side, solidifying a public sphere that increasingly resembled the private. 
   
   
   
  As Unsettling Choice shows, these struggles over public schools were entrapped within neoliberal regimes that exceeded privatization and ensured exclusion even as they were couched in language of equity, diversity, care, and rights. This book tracks an architecture of expansive rights, care, and belonging built among poor and working-class parents at a Head Start center, whose critique of choice helps us understand how we might struggle for justice, and a public that remains to be won.
