A Path of Our Own
Author: Adam Kempton Webb
Publisher: Culture of Enterprise
ISBN:
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 280
Book Description
A Path of Our Own tells the story of Pomatambo, a village in one of the poorest parts of Peru's highlands. Adam Webb brings to life the experiences of three generations of these humble peasants as they have been confronted by the modern world and tried to find a place in it. Through a land reform, a bloody Maoist insurgency, and the economic turbulence of more recent years, Pomatambo has looked for a way to break out of dire poverty while staying true to its own values and identity. But this is much more than the story of one village. Pomatambo's tale of hard times mirrors how traditional communities all over the world have been ill served by the dominant ideologies of the twentieth century. Webb's poignant and insightful narrative demonstrates that the governments and movements of both right and left have not only failed to deliver for the rural poor, but also have assaulted much that they hold dear. He maps out a vision of how traditional communities like Pomatambo can reclaim the future rather than surrender to others' plans for them. And he imagines an economy of values that at last could bring a just and decent prosperity to the countryside of the global South--and elsewhere.

U.S.A.F. Chief of Staff 2013 Professional Reading List Selection Nearly forty years passed between the Apollo moon landings, the grandest accomplishment of a government-run space program, and the Ansari X PRIZE-winning flights of SpaceShipOne, the greatest achievement of a private space program.

Tomorrow's Capitalist
Author: Alan Murray
Publisher: PublicAffairs
ISBN: 1541789105
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 247
Book Description
The Next Big Idea Club, Best Leadership Books of 2022 In an era of political and cultural extremism, America’s corporate leaders have emerged as the pragmatic center of a movement for social and economic progress. The core tenets of a capitalist system that dominated the world for more than a century are being challenged as never before. Narratives about the failures of capitalism, the greed of the 1 percent, and the blindness of corporations to public need have made their mark and are driving change. These aren’t the superficial cosmetic fixes that generated so much cynicism in the past, but a revolution in the way corporations are imagined and run. Tomorrow’s Capitalist reveals how corporate CEOs—the ultimate pragmatists—realized that they could lose their “operating license” unless they tackle the fundamental issues of our time: climate, diversity and inclusion, and inequality and workforce opportunity. Responding to their employees and customers who are demanding corporate change, they have taken the lead in establishing the bold new principles of stakeholder capitalism, ensuring that for the first time in more than a half a century it is not just shareholders who have a say in how corporations are run. Alan Murray vividly captures the zeitgeist of the real and compelling dynamic that is transforming much of the corporate world.

Shamans in Asia
Author: Clark Chilson
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1134434251
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 207
Book Description
Shamans throughout much of Asia are regarded as having the power to control and coerce spirits. Many Asians today still turn to shamans to communicate with the world of the dead, heal the sick, and explain enigmatic events. To understand Asian religions, therefore, a knowledge of shamanism is essential. Shamans in Asia provides an introduction to the study of shamans and six ethnographic studies, each of which describes and analyses the lives and activities of shamans in five different regions: Siberia, China, Korea, and the Ryukyu islands of southern Japan, Bangladesh and Pakistan. The essays show what type of people become shamans, what social roles they play, and how shamans actively draw from the worldviews of the communities in which they operate. As the first book in English to provide in-depth accounts of shamans from different regions of Asia, it allows students and scholars to view the diversity and similarities of shamans and their religions. Those interested in spiritual specialists, the anthropological study of religion, and local religions in Asia will be intrigued, if not entranced, by Shamans in Asia.

Book Description
Excitement abounds on Beaver Island in northern Lake Michigan. A recent archeological dig has uncovered a mysterious circle of stones like a mini-Stonehenge dating back hundreds of years and undoubtedly the lost sacred grounds of the Odawa Indians. The discovery is made upon the eighty acres of land that the Graham family has owned for generations. Kitt Graham and her siblings embark on a day’s excursion to the island to share in the community’s excitement over the find and to visit their property with the curious arrangement of stones. The excitement of the trip is a boon to Kitt, whose life is at a standstill. Scarred by lost love and job-weary, she struggles to find meaning but has become cynical, fearful that love will never find her again. Kitt’s one-day excursion turns into several days when a hiking mishap brings her into the arms of the handsome part-Irish, part-Odawa detective Ben Donovan. Together, they face new love but also become embroiled with a demented killer whose messianic destiny is pre-ordained with the recent election of the first Mormon President.
