A man walks into a college classroom full of students and starts shouting. Nobody hits the deck. Nobody believes they're in danger. Everybody is smiling because Alex Raffi is here, he is the one shouting, and Creative Courage has begun. This is a room overflowing with art students. These people are already open to artistic concepts but are in need of confidence. Creative Courage helps them build that confidence. Alex takes them through doubt to self assurance. He reinforces that doubt is a part of creativity: it is acceptable, required, and essential. Creative people need more than just a ringmaster, though, so Alex provides them with a roadmap to bolster their creativity. He raises questions most of my students feel and ponder. He lets them know they're not alone, and that those questions in and of themselves are important. What resonates with me as an established artist and professor is how Alex challenges our need for comfort within a sometimes uncomfortable creative life. Alex is there to remind us that whatever one's station or place, we all need the courage to be creative, not just in our artistic world but in our lives as well. - Tom Dowling Professor Orange Coast College Creative Courage is a book that has grown out of many lectures that I've given on individual creative capacity and how understanding and encouraging it can inspire others around you to lift you up creatively. It's a dismantling of common perceptions of our understanding of problem solving and offers new ways of thinking of our creative process.

In December of 2011, during the worst national economic collapse since the 1930s,Las Vegas architect and business owner Craig Galati found his firm more than $800,000 in debt. To make matter worse, the company's founding partner had just resigned, the organization had used up all it's cash reserves, and there was next-to-no work in the pipeline. Although a partner in the firm, 51-year-old Galati had to this point enjoyed his role in business development, never needing to assume a leadership position. Racked by fear and self-doubt, Galati nevertheless stepped into the breach. Rather than hiding behind bankruptcy protection, he and his remaining partners vowed to pay off every creditor, rehire their furloughed workforce and turn the company around. With brutal honesty, a profound sense of obligation and a heartfelt desire to help others, Galati is not afraid to shine a light on his failures and successes as he worked around-the-clock to pull his firm back from the brink.

A page-turning adventure written and illustrated by award-winning artist and author Alex Raffi in the tradition of Maurice Sendak's Where the Wild Things Are. A magical tale of a boy named Richard who launches a boat into the vast mysteries of the open sea, searching for something more from his life. The first person he meets on his voyage is a little girl in a rabbit mask named Lorelei, who vehemently denies that she is a rabbit. Together they discover the beauty and danger in the world, and with the help of a few more crew-mates consisting of a failed pirate, a girl with wings made of clock parts, a villainous tiger, and a wise old sea turtle, they embark on an adventure in search of something more. In the end, they are surprised by what they discover about the world and themselves. A relatable story to readers of various ages for different reasons. In it are lessons that can reveal themselves based on the progressing stages in life. It speaks to the moment we all experience when we first step into the world on our own terms. The moment we begin living life without a safety net given to us by our parents. And the discoveries we all make as we progress and grow through our lives. Richard represents everyone who, at some point, decided to start their life away from their family. The boat represents their life. As the story grows, so does the boat symbolizing the growth of his friendships and experience. The ocean represents the world. It is deep and mysterious and frightening. Always beckoning the protagonist to jump in and experience it and all its joys and dangers. The characters introduced represent moments in my life and individuals who have made a strong impact on me.

“This is the roadmap out of climate crisis that Canadians have been waiting for.” — Naomi Klein, activist and New York Times bestselling author of This Changes Everything and The Shock Doctrine • One of Canada’s top policy analysts provides the first full-scale blueprint for meeting our climate change commitments • Contains the results of a national poll on Canadians’ attitudes to the climate crisis • Shows that radical transformative climate action can be done, while producing jobs and reducing inequality as we retool how we live and work. • Deeply researched and targeted specifically to Canada and Canadians while providing a model that other countries could follow Canada needs to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions by 50% to prevent a catastrophic 1.5 degree increase in the earth’s average temperature — assumed by many scientists to be a critical “danger line” for the planet and human life as we know it. It’s 2020, and Canada is not on track to meet our targets. To do so, we’ll need radical systemic change to how we live and work—and fast. How can we ever achieve this? Top policy analyst and author Seth Klein reveals we can do it now because we’ve done it before. During the Second World War, Canadian citizens and government remade the economy by retooling factories, transforming their workforce, and making the war effort a common cause for all Canadians to contribute to. Klein demonstrates how wartime thinking and community efforts can be repurposed today for Canada’s own Green New Deal. He shares how we can create jobs and reduce inequality while tackling our climate obligations for a climate neutral—or even climate zero—future. From enlisting broad public support for new economic models, to job creation through investment in green infrastructure, Klein shows us a bold, practical policy plan for Canada’s sustainable future. More than this: A Good War offers a remarkably hopeful message for how we can meet the defining challenge of our lives. COVID-19 has brought a previously unthinkable pace of change to the world—one which demonstrates our ability to adapt rapidly when we’re at risk. Many recent changes are what Klein proposes in these very pages. The world can, actually, turn on a dime if necessary. This is the blueprint for how to do it.

Conventional gestures are those movements we make, such as waving hello and shaking hands, that are part of a learned, shared, symbolic system. In this book Richard L. Epstein working with the illustrator Alex Raffi examines how such gestures mean and how we can study them. Drawing on their collection of over 400 American gestures, available on the Advanced Reasoning Forum website, they examine problems of methodology and the nature of gestures in relation to the work of others who have studied and collected gestures from various cultures. An extensive annotated bibliography describes and comments on virtually all known collections of conventional gestures.

The ultimate book on the worldwide movement of hackers, pranksters, and activists collectively known as Anonymous—by the writer the Huffington Post says “knows all of Anonymous’ deepest, darkest secrets” “A work of anthropology that sometimes echoes a John le Carré novel.” —Wired Half a dozen years ago, anthropologist Gabriella Coleman set out to study the rise of this global phenomenon just as some of its members were turning to political protest and dangerous disruption (before Anonymous shot to fame as a key player in the battles over WikiLeaks, the Arab Spring, and Occupy Wall Street). She ended up becoming so closely connected to Anonymous that the tricky story of her inside–outside status as Anon confidante, interpreter, and erstwhile mouthpiece forms one of the themes of this witty and entirely engrossing book. The narrative brims with details unearthed from within a notoriously mysterious subculture, whose semi-legendary tricksters—such as Topiary, tflow, Anachaos, and Sabu—emerge as complex, diverse, politically and culturally sophisticated people. Propelled by years of chats and encounters with a multitude of hackers, including imprisoned activist Jeremy Hammond and the double agent who helped put him away, Hector Monsegur, Hacker, Hoaxer, Whistleblower, Spy is filled with insights into the meaning of digital activism and little understood facets of culture in the Internet age, including the history of “trolling,” the ethics and metaphysics of hacking, and the origins and manifold meanings of “the lulz.”

Set in West Kalimantan, Indonesian Borneo, this study explores the shifting relationships between border communities and the state along the political border with East Malaysia. The book rests on the premise that remote border regions offer an exciting study arena that can tell us important things about how marginal citizens relate to their nation-state. The basic assumption is that central state authority in the Indonesian borderlands has never been absolute, but waxes and wanes, and state rules and laws are always up for local interpretation and negotiation. In its role as key symbol of state sovereignty, the borderland has become a place were central state authorities are often most eager to govern and exercise power. But as illustrated, the borderland is also a place were state authority is most likely to be challenged, questioned and manipulated as border communities often have multiple loyalties that transcend state borders and contradict imaginations of the state as guardians of national sovereignty and citizenship.

This is a comprehensive and definitive study of the Man Booker Prize-winning novelist, Howard Jacobson. It offers lucid, detailed and nuanced readings of each of Jacobson's novels, and makes a powerful case for the importance of his work in the landscape of contemporary fiction. Focusing on the themes of comedy, masculinity and Jewishness, the book emphasises the richness and diversity of Jacobson's work. Often described by others as 'the English Philip Roth' and by himself as 'the Jewish Jane Austen', Jacobson emerges here as a complex and often contradictory figure: a fearless novelist; a combative public intellectual; a polemical journalist; an unapologetic elitist and an irreverent outsider; an exuberant iconoclast and a sombre satirist. Never afraid of controversy, Jacobson tends to polarise readers; but love him or hate him, he is difficult to ignore. This book gives him the thorough consideration and the balanced evaluation that he deserves. This book will be of interest to readers and scholars of contemporary fiction, twenty-first century literature and Jewish literature.
