I admire and applaud the brave crusaders who try to influence, through protests people with authority. Environmental groups such as the David Suzuki Foundation, Green Peace, The Nature Conservancy and social justice groups namely the Occupy Movement bravely struggle to influence authority. These are the true heroes in our society. Numerous excellent documentaries, like Leonardo Dicaprio’s ‘The Eleventh Hour’ and Al Gore’s ‘An Inconvenient Truth,’ point out what will happen to our biosphere if we don’t change course. However, when push comes to shove it’s all very well to be informed about a problem but in today’s world being informed is a useless exercise because individuals have no authority to do anything about it. My thesis offers a possible solution by empowering individuals giving them full citizenship, responsibility, and ownership in these problems. This authority would empower citizens to exercise their authority by demanding truth and expelling ineffectiveness. Perhaps you’ve, watched such documentaries, read books or attended lectures about our ancestors to gain a tiny understanding of what it would be like to live in a world where there is no law against manslaughter, nonconsensual sex or genocide. It’s not hard to believe that the most dangerous, cunning and cruel creature on the planet is not the shark but mankind. Some say we are nature’s knives, put here to reduce the number of species on the planet. We are not only the most dangerous predator on the planet, but also the only predator of our own species. Our very success has come from this complicated survival strategy of killing our fellow man (murder) and having non-consensual sex (rape) to select the most intelligent beauties to reproduce. It’s quite natural for the Serbian soldiers to kill the men of a village then lock up the women to be used as sex slaves. Such practices were common for great warriors such as the Ottomans, Genghis Khan and the standard among ancient as well as modern aggressors. The best incentive to fight hard was the sex at the end of the battle. Our political system is our only defense against our potential malevolence. Politics gives us rules protecting ourselves from ourselves. At the beginning of the third millennia the beautiful intelligent people who occupy the biosphere of this planet, the end product of thousands of generations of manslaughter and nonconsensual sex, are responsible for maintaining this law and order. We know if we work together we can save the biosphere and in so doing save thousands of future generations of our own species. The solution to a stable world is inevitable. Are you ready?

Who are computer hackers? What is free software? And what does the emergence of a community dedicated to the production of free and open source software--and to hacking as a technical, aesthetic, and moral project--reveal about the values of contemporary liberalism? Exploring the rise and political significance of the free and open source software (F/OSS) movement in the United States and Europe, Coding Freedom details the ethics behind hackers' devotion to F/OSS, the social codes that guide its production, and the political struggles through which hackers question the scope and direction of copyright and patent law. In telling the story of the F/OSS movement, the book unfolds a broader narrative involving computing, the politics of access, and intellectual property. E. Gabriella Coleman tracks the ways in which hackers collaborate and examines passionate manifestos, hacker humor, free software project governance, and festive hacker conferences. Looking at the ways that hackers sustain their productive freedom, Coleman shows that these activists, driven by a commitment to their work, reformulate key ideals including free speech, transparency, and meritocracy, and refuse restrictive intellectual protections. Coleman demonstrates how hacking, so often marginalized or misunderstood, sheds light on the continuing relevance of liberalism in online collaboration.

Despite their short stature, dwarves are among the fiercest and most feared fighters of all the races. From an initial examination of the fighting methods of the individual dwarf soldier, this volume expands its focus to look at how they do battle in small companies and vast armies. It covers all of their troop types from the axemen that form the front lines of battle to their deadly accurate crossbowmen. Also examined are their tactics in specific situations such as underground fighting and combat in mountainous terrain. Finally, the book examines a few specific battles in great detail in order to fully demonstrate the dwarven way of war.

Over the past thirty years, humanity has made a huge mistake. We handed over to big tech decisions that have allowed them to build what has become our "space of the world" – the highly artificial space of social media platforms where much of our social life now unfolds. This has proved reckless and has huge social consequences. The toxic effects on social life, young people’s mental health, and political solidarity are well known, but the key factor underlying all this has been missed: the fact that humanity allowed business to construct our space of the world at all and then exploit it for profit. In the process, we ignored two millennia of political thought about the conditions under which a healthy or even a non-violent politics is possible. We endangered the one resource that is in desperately short supply in the face of catastrophic climate change: solidarity. Is human solidarity possible in a world of continuous digital connection and commercially managed platforms, and what if it isn’t? In the first book of his trilogy, Humanising the Future, Nick Couldry offers a radical new vision of how to design our digital spaces so that they build, rather than erode, both solidarity and community. This trenchant and vividly written book stresses that we cannot afford not to care for our space of the world. We need to rebuild it together.

Avoid the speed trap! Discover how changemakers can find lasting solutions to urgent social problems through a proven 5-step process for listening thoughtfully, building broad support, and exploring unconventional options. Society celebrates leaders who promise fast, easy solutions to the world's problems—but quick fixes are just mirages that fade, leaving us with the same broken systems. The truth is, effective social change happens through slow, intentional actions. The author, a globally acclaimed social entrepreneur, offers a 5-step process for taking the slow lane to change-the lane that gets you to the right place faster: Listening—Listen to build trust, which can change hearts and minds and allow for something new to emerge. Holding the urgency—Accept that even in moments of crisis you can move only at the speed of trust instead of rushing into action. Sharing the agency—Create an inclusive environment where everyone can lead. Healing democracy—Build bridges that allow marginalized people to participate. Maintaining curiosity—Be inspired by nontraditional sources. Using dozens of examples—prison reform in England, urban development in Venezuela, healthcare in the Navajo Nation, early childhood education in New York, and many more—The Slow Lane shows how, by following the principles taught in this book, readers can create lasting change.
