The charges of white privilege and systemic racism that are tearing the country apart fIoat free of reality. Two known facts, long since documented beyond reasonable doubt, need to be brought into the open and incorporated into the way we think about public policy: American whites, blacks, Hispanics, and Asians have different violent crime rates and different means and distributions of cognitive ability. The allegations of racism in policing, college admissions, segregation in housing, and hiring and promotions in the workplace ignore the ways in which the problems that prompt the allegations of systemic racism are driven by these two realities. What good can come of bringing them into the open? America’s most precious ideal is what used to be known as the American Creed: People are not to be judged by where they came from, what social class they come from, or by race, color, or creed. They must be judged as individuals. The prevailing Progressive ideology repudiates that ideal, demanding instead that the state should judge people by their race, social origins, religion, sex, and sexual orientation. We on the center left and center right who are the American Creed’s natural defenders have painted ourselves into a corner. We have been unwilling to say openly that different groups have significant group differences. Since we have not been willing to say that, we have been left defenseless against the claims that racism is to blame. What else could it be? We have been afraid to answer. We must. Facing Reality is a step in that direction.

The titling of this book - "Facing Reality" - came to me unbidden, presumably from my subconscious! But, when it came, it seemed to be right, because that essentially is what I am trying to do in this book. " Facing" is to be understood in the sense of "looking at in a steadfast and unflinching manner". It thus contrasts with "Confronting" which has the sense of "looking at with hostility and defiance". As I face life with its joys and its sorrows, its successes and its failures, its peace and its turmoil, my attitude is one of serene acceptance and gratitude and not one of angry and arrogant confrontation and rejection. The other component of the title - "Reality" - is the ultimate reality for each of us as conscious beings - our birth - our self-hood in its long stream of becoming throughout our life - our death and apparent annihilation. This is the Reality that we each of us must face if we are to live and adventure as free and responsible beings and not as mere playthings of chance and circumstance, going through a mean ingless farce from birth to death with the search ever for distraction and self-forgetfulness. As a brain scientist I have specialist knowledge of that wonderful part of the body that is alone concerned in the whole Iife-Iong interplay between the conscious self and the extern al world, including other selves.

After partying his way through college in San Diego, Adam Elson graduates broke, directionless, and with no job in sight. Desperate for inspiration, he invites his childhood friend Richie to move in with him. Richie arrives with a shady scheme for a financial quick fix, which suddenly goes awry. Adam is forced to flee, propelling him on a journey to find his true calling in life and moral compass. As he makes his way, Adam learns the true story of his family in addition to what it means to love. Without looking back, he immerses himself in the relationships and new opportunities he encounters. Yet looming over this new life is the specter of his unresolved past - which could replace the reality he's worked so hard to build with a much darker one.

Written in collaboration with Cornelius Castoriadis and Grace Lee, James examines the practical process of social revolution in the modern world. Inspired by the October 1956 Hungarian workers' revolution against Stalinist oppression, as well as the wildcat strikes of U.S. workers (against Capital and the union bureaucracies), James and his co-authors looked ahead to the rise of new mass emancipatory movements by African Americans and anti-colonialist/anti-imperialist currents in Africa and Asia. Virtually alone among the radical texts of the time, Facing Reality, first published in 1958 by Marty Glaberman, rejected modern society's mania for conquering nature, and welcomed women's struggles for new relations between the sexes. A true masterpiece, and still one of the finest expositions of workers' self-emancipation around. This new 21st-century edition includes a new introduction by James's longtime friend, John H Bracey, situating the book in its 1950s/60s context, and accentuating its continued relevance in our time.

On the twenty-fifth anniversary of the publication of her classic Leadership and the New Science, bestselling author Margaret Wheatley once again turns to the new science of living systems to help leaders persevere in a time of great turmoil. I know it is possible for leaders to use their power and influence, their insight and compassion, to lead people back to an understanding of who we are as human beings, to create the conditions for our basic human qualities of generosity, contribution, community and love to be evoked no matter what. I know it is possible to experience grace and joy in the midst of tragedy and loss. I know it is possible to create islands of sanity in the midst of wildly disruptive seas. I know it is possible because I have worked with leaders over many years in places that knew chaos and breakdown long before this moment. And I have studied enough history to know that such leaders always arise when they are most needed. Now it's our turn.

Excerpt from Facing Reality In the following pages I have tried to show the danger in which our civilisation stands owing to its neglect of reality. Our advance in mechanical power during the last century and a half has transformed the conditions of human life. Its ever increasing pace and complexity call for a corresponding advance in mental and social organisation. No such advance has been made or even seriously attempted. We have gone on feverishly improving the machines and leaving the rest to chance; in consequence, our increased powers have been turned to wasteful and mutually destructive purposes. We have the power to smash civilisation to pieces and both in the international and domestic spheres are preparing to use it, for want of a sane attempt to order our affairs to the best advantage. I have first tried to show the nature and unique urgency of the crisis through which civilisation is passing. I have next traced its development out of the failure of mankind to adapt itself mentally to its advance in physical power. In default of any rational effort to control the situation, free play was given to an anarchy of egotisms, private and national, which not only dissipated the hard-won spoils of nature but actually turned them to a fearful menace.

How far must you go to make it in Hollywood? Can love survive the crazy ride?Paul Franti is deep in debt, creditors are after him, and the film masterpiece he's creating is less than half done. To hide from the bill collectors and repo men, he moves in with Maggie, his best girlfriend ever. However, Maggie gives him an ultimatum: he has ten weeks to get a job, pay off all his debts and either commit to her or get out.Desperate, Paul takes a job as a sound man on a reality TV movie-of-the-week, directed by Dwight Werner, an insane and driven documentary filmmaker, and Joel Cuvney, a craven young producer who will do anything to get ahead. Paul will make enough cash to meet all of Maggie's demands...all except for the commitment part. He's still on the fence about that, but he figures he has time to decide.The reality TV movie that Dwight is shooting is about a small "tribe" of four homeless kids: Trent, Jodi, Ilima, and Duncan, who live in an abandoned brewery downtown. Dwight is recording their grinding poverty for his own artistic glory, with no intention of helping them, and he pushes his crew to exhaustion to get the scenes he wants. All Paul wants is to survive the gig, until he gets sucked into the lives of the four troubled kids. Should Paul intervene? Joel, the producer, offers Paul a better role on the project, tempting him further. Meanwhile, Maggie can see that this job is changing Paul, and changing them both, maybe not for the better. Will they make it?Ian Bull is the author of the thriller series The Quintana Adventures, about Army Ranger photographer Steven Quintana and movie actress Julia Travers.
