  How Does Change Happen? - Scenes...

  Sam Gonçalves

  Mass protests and direct action have been familiar tactics against the many crises of the 21st century. Though methods vary, there's a collective longing for meaningful and transformative action. Some are deemed too weak, others too disruptive: from Instagram tiles to cans of soup thrown on famous paintings.
  Through conversations with activists and organisers, Sam Gonçalves recounts stories of protest and the fight for change, from a community of landless workers in Southern Brazil, to chefs unionising their workplace in Glasgow, Scotland. These narratives reveal the opportunities and challenges that are part of the difficult work of creating change, a wrestling with the question: how does change happen?
  Having a 'positive impact' in the world is often relegated to the 'personal', an individual endeavour. Gonçalves investigates that assumption and explores ways communities have resisted collectively, and fought against the individualising forces surrounding them.

  Drowned. Buried by sand. Decimated by plague. Plunged off a cliff. This is the extraordinary tale of Britain's eerie and remarkable ghost towns and villages; shadowlands that once hummed with life. 
   
   
   
  Matthew Green, a British historian and broadcaster, tells the astonishing tales of the rise and demise of these places, animating the people who lived, worked, dreamed, and died there. Traveling across Britain to explore their haunting and often-beautiful remains, Green transports the listener to these lost towns and cities as they teeter on the brink of oblivion, vividly capturing the sounds of the sea clawing away row upon row of houses, the taste of medieval wine, or the sights of puffin hunting on the tallest cliffs in the country. We experience them in their prime, look on at their destruction, and revisit their lingering remains as they are mourned by evictees and reimagined by artists, writers, and mavericks. 
   
   
   
  A stunning and original excavation of Britain's untold history, Shadowlands gives us a truer sense of the progress and ravages of time, in a moment when many of our own settlements are threatened as never before.

  The Tashkent-born Russian-American literary critic, editor, essayist, and journalist Vladislav Davidzon has been covering post-Soviet Ukraine for the past ten years, a tumultuous time for that country and the surrounding world. The 2014 "Revolution of Dignity" heralded a tremendous transformation of Ukrainian politics and society that has continued to ripple and reverberate throughout the world. 
   
   
   
  In late 2015, a year and a half after the 2014 Revolution swept away the presidency of the Moscow-leaning kleptocratic President Viktor Yanukovich, Davidzon and his wife founded a literary journal, The Odessa Review, focusing on newly emergent trends in film, literature, painting, design, and fashion. The journal became an East European cultural institution, publishing outstanding writers in the region and beyond. From his vantage point as a journalist and editor, Davidzon came to observe events and know many of the leading figures in Ukrainian politics and culture, and to write about them for a Western audience. Davidzon later found himself in the center of world events as he became a United States government witness in the Ukraine scandal that shook the presidency of Donald Trump. This eagerly anticipated debut tells the real story of what happened in Ukraine from the keen and resilient perspective of an observer at its center.

  "The Irish Potato Famine: An Gorta Mór" is a gripping exploration of one of history's most devastating humanitarian crises. Between 1845 and 1852, Ireland was ravaged by a catastrophic famine that claimed over a million lives and forced millions more to flee their homeland. Yet, this was far more than a tragedy of failing crops; it was a crucible of resilience, shaped by the convergence of natural disaster, political neglect, and the systemic inequalities of colonial rule. 
  Through vivid storytelling and meticulous research, this book delves into the famine’s harrowing origins, its profound human cost, and its enduring legacy on Ireland and the world. Discover how the Irish people, despite unimaginable suffering, emerged with a fierce determination to survive, remember, and rebuild, forever altering their cultural and demographic landscape. 
  More than a recounting of historical events, this is a poignant reminder of the global relevance of these lessons. As the echoes of An Gorta Mór resonate across time, the story compels readers to reflect on the responsibilities of governance, the dangers of systemic inequality, and the imperative to foster solidarity in the face of contemporary crises. 
  "The Irish Potato Famine" is not just a chronicle of a tragic past—it is a universal testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the enduring quest for justice and compassion.
