Описание: - Is it acceptable for a non-profit organization to direct the first million dollars it collects to the pockets of its CEO?

- Do well-connected corporations and universities respect justice and strive to make the world better for everyone?

- Should government serve the population or exploit it to benefit the powerful?

Sustenance Through Starvation is satire-but only if Franz Kafka wrote satire. It is fiction-but only if George Orwell wrote fiction. Judge for yourself.

Gwendolyn is a student at Stambridge University, and all she wants to do with her life is help people. As the daughter of the man in control of the worlds most powerful charity, she is positioned perfectly for her wishes.

Travel with her through this wildly absurd story as Gwendolyn meets some of the richest and most selfless individuals in the world-and their polar opposites.

Lift the veil on the self-dealings of your trusted elites as the girl grapples with the challenge of growing up and finding her rightful place in this rarefied world.

Struggle with Gwendolyn as she endures heartbreaking tragedy and commits herself to decrypting the rituals of the Gordian knot of deception woven by the mongers of morality within charity, government, big business, and the modern university.

This deeply satirical take on the world of the privileged is a serious and thought-provoking book, packed with facts and surreal extrapolations that form a cautionary tale for our time. Future archaeologists of the communal psyche will study this novel for its illumination of disturbing realities occluded from our perception by our own good nature.

If you do not laugh as you read, check your intellect. If you do not cry, worry about your humanity. Ask yourself as you follow Gwendolyns story: Yes, you care, but how different are you? And what will you do to change this world?

Описание: From the celebrated Ursula K. Le Guin, a writer of enormous intelligence and wit, a master storyteller (Boston Globe), the revised and updated edition of her classic guide to the essentials of a writer's craft.

Completely revised and rewritten to address modern challenges and opportunities, this handbook is a short, deceptively simple guide to the craft of writing.

Le Guin lays out ten chapters that address the most fundamental components of narrative, from the sound of language to sentence construction to point of view. Each chapter combines illustrative examples from the global canon with Le Guin's own witty commentary and an exercise that the writer can do solo or in a group. She also offers a comprehensive guide to working in writing groups, both actual and online.

Masterly and concise, Steering the Craft deserves a place on every writer's shelf.

Institutional Innovation and the Steering of Conflicts in Latin America

Описание:

This book opens the institutional Pandora's box of conflict management, focusing on two central questions: To what degree do Latin American political contexts create spaces for institutional designs that deal with conflicts in a feasible and legitimate way? What processes enable institutional architects to exploit such space to manage conflict innovatively? The authors' point of departure is that institutions are primarily conflict-solving entities guiding individual and social behaviour, and that they set out to be much more than rules of the game: institutions do (and should) evolve and are eventually redesigned to meet human necessities. In light of the pending socioeconomic challenges in most of Latin America, institutional designers are confronted with the fact that nothing inherent within the institutions guarantees that conflict is processed in ways that tackle distributive and ethnic inequalities.
