Craft in the Real World by Matthew Salesses (Paperback Book)

The traditional writing workshop was established with white male writers in mind; what we call craft is informed by their cultural values. In this bold and original examination of elements of writing – including plot, character, conflict, structure, and believability – Matthew Salesses asks questions to invigorate these familiar concepts. He upends Western notions of how a story must progress. How can we rethink craft, and the teaching of it, to better reach writers with diverse backgrounds? How can we invite diverse storytelling traditions into literary spaces?.

Frontlash / Backlash by Jeffrey C. Alexander (Paperback Book)

In the aftermath of the Cold War, many societies seemed firmly set on a pathway to cultural reintegration, progressive reform, and democratic government. This didn’t happen. Instead, they have become increasingly polarized, and far-right antidemocratic forces are gaining power. In his new work, Jeffrey Alexander explains why, developing an approach to social change that challenges the faith in progress that underpins much contemporary thinking. Far from being a smooth movement forward, progressive social change is like a car crash where cars pile up. The greater the movement forward, the greater the reaction to it. Reform movements – such as anti-racism, feminism, and open immigration – should be understood as frontlash movements creating extraordinary tensions. They challenge not only.

Co-Opetition by Adam M Brandenburger (Paperback Book)

Co-opetition offers a new way of thinking that combines competition and cooperation. It is the first book to adapt game theory to the needs of CEOs, managers and entrepreneurs. Though often compared to games like chess or poker, business is different – people are free to change the rules, the players, the boundaries, even the game itself. The essence of business success lies in making sure you are in the right game. Actively shaping which game you play, and how you play it, is the core of the innovative business strategy laid out in Co-opetition. Barry Nalebuff and Adam Brandenburger, professors at Yale and Harvard, are pioneers in the practice of applying the science of game theory to the art of corporate strategy. They have devised a practice-oriented model to help you break out of the.

Revolutionary Mothering Love on the Front Lines (Paperback Book)
