City Councils

Nora Franklin

Beschreibung

"City Councils: How do they work worldwide and why?" explores the critical role of local governance in addressing global challenges. This comprehensive book examines the historical evolution, diverse structures, and contemporary significance of city councils worldwide. It argues that these local bodies are not mere administrative units but dynamic entities crucial for fostering democracy and driving innovation at the urban level.   
The book progresses through three main sections: 1. The concept and history of city councils 2. Their varied structures across different cultures 3. How they adapt to modern issues like climate change and social inequality   
By employing comparative analysis and drawing on a wide range of evidence, the book offers a unique global perspective on urban governance. It challenges the notion of a universal model for local governance, instead emphasizing the importance of context-specific approaches.   
Written in an accessible yet authoritative style, "City Councils" provides valuable insights for students, scholars, policymakers, and engaged citizens alike. It highlights the potential of local governance to shape our urban future and invites readers to reconsider the importance of city councils in an increasingly interconnected world.   
The book serves as both a comprehensive analysis and a call to action for more effective urban citizenship.

Swing Hard in Case You Hit It -...

Tim Murtaugh

When he woke up in jail in Fairfax County, Virginia, in 2015, Tim Murtaugh had no way of knowing he'd be a senior leader on the reelection campaign for the president of the United States less than four years later. 
 
 
 
What began as a form of high school amusement quickly became an addiction, which over decades would lead Murtaugh to the edge of ruin. Able to beat the disease of alcoholism only under the threat of losing everything, and with the support of a loving wife and family, Murtaugh managed to recover, revive his career, and make it to the top of the political world. 
 
 
 
Travel along on the 2020 Trump campaign as Murtaugh shares stories—never published before—from his two years as communications director, navigating a hostile media, the COVID-19 pandemic, highly anticipated debates, Election Day 2020, January 6, and life on the most-watched political campaign in world history. 
 
 
 
Swing Hard in Case You Hit It is a redemption story unlike any other—from being on the verge of complete self-destruction to flying on Air Force One with President Donald J. Trump—that doesn't come with a happy Hollywood ending.
