A philosopher and activist, eager to live according to ideals forged in study and discussion, Daniel Bensad was a man deeply entrenched in both the French and the international left. Raised in a staunchly red neighbourhood of Toulouse, where his family owned a bistro, he grew to be France's leading Marxist public intellectual, much in demand on talk shows and in the press. A lyrical essayist and powerful public speaker, at his best expounding large ideas to crowds of students and workers, he was a founder member of the Ligue Communiste and thrived at the heart of a resurgent far left in the 1960s, which nurtured many of the leading figures of today's French establishment. The path from the joyous explosion of May 1968, through the painful experience of defeat in Latin America and the world-shaking collapse of the USSR, to the neoliberal world of today, dominated as it is by global finance, is narrated in An Impatient Life with Bensad's characteristic elegance of phrase and clarity of vision. His memoir relates a life of ideological and practical struggle, a never-resting endeavour to comprehend the workings of capitalism in the pursuit of revolution.

The World Moves At The Speed of Me, but God's Timing is Always Perfect In the first of her Living Large for God series, Susan Lee addresses the challenge of maintaining patience and perseverance in a world obsessed with instant gratification. With all the earthly pressure to have it all now, it seems like as soon as you set a goal, obstacles get in the way to keep you from achieving it and to try your patience toward others, the situation, and even yourself. Is it possible that God places so much emphasis on developing and demonstrating patience in the Bible because it is such an unnatural way to think in this world? Satan knows just where to strike you have set a goal. And he uses your impatience as a prime way to keep you from focusing on, and trusting God. By learning to optimistically endure difficult people and circumstances through active patience, we can avoid the penalties associated with our impatience, such as high blood pressure, stress, frustration and strained relationships. Active Patience results in less impulsive outbursts or complaints, as well as keeps us more optimistic, hopeful and productive. Susan Lee tells biblical stories of people who experienced the same struggles with patience as we do and provides practical exercises, tips and techniques for developing more patience. In addition, Living Large for God: Developing Patience and Perseverance in an Impatient World shares God's promises to help develop a more patient spirit, even when times are troubling and challenging. Specifically, you will discover how to: Develop better relationships by finding strategies that work to cope with difficult people Reduce impulsive outbursts and complaints throughout the day Maintain hope and stay productive toward achieving your goals in God's perfect timing Trust in God and stay optimistic during your most trying times Avoid the penalties of impatience such as high blood pressure, stress, and frustration The characteristic of patience is a gift from God and a fruit of the spirit that we can all improve on. By doing so, we will experience more peace and hope for the future. Developing Patience and Perseverance in an Impatient World: Living Large For God; is a great resource for anyone wanting to meet their goals more quickly, improve their relationships, and achieve peace of mind. "Susan Lee interweaves colorful present day and biblical examples to demonstrate our profound need to develop patience and perseverance during our brief time on earth. She doesn't just artfully tell us the stories - she also carefully shows how we can apply principles from each story to our own lives, thereby strengthening our character and becoming stronger men and women of faith." - Jory Fischer "Susan offers a much needed approach to experiencing peace in a chaotic world. " - Anonymous "This book is full of insightful examples from biblical characters, Scripture verses and life applicable suggestions for success in our endeavor to be like Christ - our ultimate example of active patience!" - Tonia C. Harrison "Susan Lee takes the time and thought to help us develop a more critical view of these situations, gain the patience that we need, and links our modern problems to those faced in ancient times" - Jake Darien

Florence Kelley (1859-1932) fought to implement child labor laws, minimum wages, maximum working hours, industrial health control, prenatal care to lower maternal and infant mortality. She was among the late 19th and early 20th centuries militant women, including Jane Addams, Julia Lathrop, Lillian Wald and others, who have come to be called social reformers. Her close friend and fellow worker, Josephine Goldmark (1877-1950), tells a sympathetic yet richly detailed story of Florence Kelley’s energetic life and accomplishments. At the turn of the 20th century and afterward, the 12-hour workday and the 7-day workweek prevailed in many industries. The sweatshop was commonplace. In most states women and young girls worked long hours unregulated by law. Child labor, beginning at age 10 or 12, was the normal pattern for the poor. That such social evils have largely disappeared is due in large part to the insistent and impatient crusading of Florence Kelley as Chief Inspector of Factories for Illinois; at Hull House in Chicago and the Henry Street Settlement in New York; as General Secretary of the National Consumers League; to establish the U.S. Children’s Bureau; in the National Woman Suffrage Association, the National Child Labor Committee and the General Federation of Women’s Clubs. Florence Kelley worked with the law, especially with Boston lawyer Louis D. Brandeis, spent herself tirelessly in research to document the legal basis for shorter working hours for women, an investigation now famous as the “Brandeis Brief.” Indignant and eloquent, she stimulated the investigation of the use of radium in luminous paint, to end deaths from poisoning of dial painters in watch factories. “When Mrs. Kelley began her career as chief factory inspector in Illinois in 1893 there were no minimum wage laws. The 12-hour-day and 7-day-week prevailed in the steel industry. Sweat shops were legion. Tenement home work which enlisted mothers and children at low wages and long hours was the rule. These were the evils which Mrs. Kelley fought as a pioneer. In these pages Josephine Goldmark, her friend, associate and fellow worker, brings home to us in simple and vivid language the story of that long, patient struggle which paved the way for later reforms.” — Louis Stark, The New York Times “A more sympathetic biographer for the late Florence Kelley could scarcely have been found than the scholarly woman who was her co-worker during thirty of the forty years of her immensely active public career. Josephine Goldmark’s life of Mrs. Kelley is fine alike for the delicacy of its insights into her colleague’s basic motivations and for its tact in presenting the controversial aspects of her life and of the important legislative reforms in which she played a decisive role.” — Louise M. Young, The American Historical Review “Impatient Crusader is certainly a perfect title for a biography of Florence Kelley... [it] provides exciting reading as it traces the work of a great woman in many of the social reforms of the first half of the twentieth century.” — Helen R. Wright, Social Service Review “The interesting life-story of Florence Kelley, one of the militant, dedicated women of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. This book, by one of her fellow workers, makes vivid the early crusades for child labor laws, minimum wages, maximum hours, and industrial health control.” — Current History “[An] excellent biography of Mrs. Kelley and her times.” — Irving Dilliard, Journal of the Illinois State Historical Society

The end of Soviet Socialism signalled to some observers that the ghost of Marx had finally been laid to rest. But history's refusal to grind to a halt and the global credit crisis that began in 2008 have rekindled interest in capitalism's most persistent critic. Written during the mid-nineties, a period of Western complacency and neo-liberal reaction, Marx for Our Times is a critical reading of dialectical materialism as a method of resistance. Without denying the contradictory character of Marx's thought, and with a sensitivity to the plurality of theories it has inspired, Daniel Bensaid sets out to discover what in Marx remains dynamic and relevant in our era of accelerating economic change. Marx's theory emerges, not as a doctrinal system, but as an intellectual tool of social struggle and global transformation in a world where capital continues to dominate social relations.

Living in Paris with her partner, the workaholic Mr Frog, and their adorable toddler, Tadpole, Catherine decides to alleviate the boredom of her metro-boulot-dodo routine by starting a blog under the name of Petite Anglaise. As she lays herself bare about the confines of her stagnant relationship with Mr Frog, about Paris life and about the wonder and pain that comes with being a mother, she finds a new purpose to her day. As Petite Anglaise, Catherine regains her confidence and makes internet friends, including one charismatic and single Englishman who lives in Brittany, James. And after meeting James one evening in a bar, Catherine feels she has regained her ability to fall in love, too. Petite Anglaise weaves together many strands which have already struck a chord with the thousands of readers who love her blog: a "fish out of water" perspective of Paris life, the raw emotional drama of a whirlwind, adulterous romance and an honest appreciation of the hardships of single motherhood.
