  • George Rickey: A Life in Balance

    The first biography of George Rickey, one of the greatest kinetic sculptors of the 20th century. His moving blades, squares, triangles, and circles can be found in museums and public spaces around the world, from bucolic landscapes to the streets of New York City. Now, here is the story of his life, his times, and his vision of balance that created something new―sculpture that is defined by movement.

    Before his death in 2002, George Rickey created more than 3,000 moving sculptures, including hundreds of major outdoor installations. His “useless machines,” as he called them, achieved complete rotation, used multiple variations of the pendulum, and delighted viewers with the joyride effects of conical movement.

    George Rickey: A Life in Balance follows the life of a renowned artist―first a painter, then a sculptor―who found inspiration all around him―as a child visiting the Singer Sewing Machine factory managed by his father, in his adventurous youth in the London and Paris art studios of the 1920s, as an engineer in the Army Air Corps during World War II, and later as a pioneer in academic art programs around the United States when he embarked on the sculpture he became famous for.

    But this is not only the story of a single artist’s creativity and achievement but of Rickey’s life in the larger context of the twentieth century: from Depression-era America to the upheaval of World War II, from the rise of New York as the world’s art capital at mid-century to the tumultuous 1960s, when Rickey emerged as an international figure rubbing elbows with Alexander Calder, David Smith, Christo, and many others. It is also the story of an exceptional marriage and of Rickey’s charismatic, devoted wife, Edith Leighton, who managed her husband’s career and reputation in the high-powered art circles of New York, Berlin, and Los Angeles.

    Belinda Rathbone (author of The Boston Raphael and Walker Evans: A Biography) has captured the spirit of an artist and his world in this deeply researched and engrossing biography. George Rickey: A Life in Balance is for any reader fascinated by the lives of artists, the creation of enduring art, or twentieth century modernism. Includes 30 photographs that document Rickey’s life and work.

  • Silos, Politics and Turf Wars: A Leadership Fable About Destroying the Barriers That Turn Colleagues Into Competitors

    06

    Practical and hands-on strategies for breaking down silos and minimizing workplace politics

    In yet another page-turner, New York Times best-selling author and acclaimed management expert Patrick Lencioni addresses the costly and maddening issue of silos: the barriers that create organizational politics. Silos devastate organizations, kill productivity, push good people out the door, and jeopardize the achievement of corporate goals.

    As with his other books, Lencioni writes Silos, Politics, and Turf Wars as a fictional―but eerily familiar―story. The story is about Jude Cousins, an eager young management consultant struggling to launch his practice by solving one of the more universal and frustrating problems faced by his clients. Through trial and error, he develops a simple yet ground-breaking approach for helping them transform confusion and infighting into clarity and alignment.

    In the book, you’ll find:

    • Ways to recognize the devastating–and destructive–power of silos
    • How to create an overarching thematic goal or rallying cry for your organization
    • Strategies for employees to avoid the confusion that often accompanies working in matrix organizations

    Perfect for executives, managers, and other business leaders, Silos, Politics, and Turf Wars will also earn a place in the libraries of consultants and other professionals who serve organizations of all sizes.

  • Central Asia in World History (New Oxford World History)

    06

    A vast region stretching roughly from the Volga River to Manchuria and the northern Chinese borderlands, Central Asia has been called the -pivot of history, – a land where nomadic invaders and Silk Road traders changed the destinies of states that ringed its borders, including pre-modern Europe, the Middle East, and China. In Central Asia in World History, Peter B. Golden provides an engaging account of this important region, ranging from prehistory to the present, focusing largely on the unique melting pot of cultures that this region has produced over millennia. Golden describes the traders who braved the heat and cold along caravan routes to link East Asia and Europe; the Mongol Empire of Chinggis Khan and his successors, the largest contiguous land empire in history; the invention of gunpowder, which allowed the great sedentary empires to overcome the horse-based nomads; the power struggles of Russia and China, and later Russia and Britain, for control of the area. Finally, he discusses the region today, a key area that neighbors such geopolitical hot spots as Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and China.

  • Arctic Convoys: Bletchley Park and the War for the Seas

    An incisive account of the Arctic convoys, and the essential role Bletchley Park and Special Intelligence played in Allied success
     
    Between 1941 and 1945, more than eight hundred shiploads of supplies were delivered to the Soviet Union protected by allied naval forces. Each journey was a battle against the elements, with turbulent seas, extreme cold, and the constant dread of torpedoes. These Arctic convoys have been mythologized as defenseless vessels at the mercy of deadly U-boats―but was this really the case?
     
    David Kenyon explores the story of the war in the Arctic, revealing that the contest was more evenly balanced that previously thought. Battles included major ship engagements, aircraft carriers, and combat between surface ships. Amid this wide range of forces, Bletchley Park’s Naval Section played a decisive role in Arctic operations, with both sides relying heavily on Signals Intelligence to intercept and break each other’s codes. Kenyon presents a vivid picture of the Arctic theater of war, unearthing the full-scale campaign for naval supremacy in northern waters.

    06

    ‘This book is a MUST read for anyone curious and interested in the special origins and developments of Ballroom & Latin American dancing.’ – Marcus Hilton MBE, with Karen Hilton MBE nine times World Professional Ballroom champion

    ‘A fascinating book. Hilary French tells the history of dance from the very beginning. I learnt a lot and found it immensely interesting and insightful. If you are interested in dance and how we have got to where we are today, this is an essential read. Enjoy!’ – Matthew Cutler, British, UK and World’s Latin champion, Strictly Come Dancing champion and owner, Matico Dance Studio

    ‘Hilary French’s pioneering book combines social history, economics, fashion, music, dance technique and architecture and design in an engaging mix … it blends scholarship with infectious enthusiasm.’- Professor Sir Christopher Frayling, Cultural Historian, Broadcaster and Former Rector of the Royal College of Art

    In the early twentieth century, American ragtime and the Parisian tango fuelled a dancing craze in Britain. Public ballrooms were built throughout the country, providing a glamorous setting for dancing. The new English style, defined in the 1920s and followed by the films of Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers in the 1930s, ensured that ballroom dancing continued to be the most popular British pastime until the 1960s, rivalled only by cinema.
    This book explores the vibrant history of ballroom and Latin dancing: the dances, lavish venues, competitions and influential instructors. It also traces the decline of couple dancing and its resurgence in recent years with the hugely popular TV shows Strictly Come Dancing and Dancing with the Stars.

    Italian Sentence Builders – Primary – Book 1 contains 10 units which concern themselves with a specific communicative function, such as ‘I can say my name and age’, ‘I can talk about the weather’, ‘I can say what’s in my town’. You can find a note of each communicative function in the Table of Contents.

    Each unit includes:

    • a sentence builder modelling the target constructions, introduced by questions to guide communication;
    • a set of Listening-As-Modelling activities to train decoding skills, sound awareness, speech-segmentation, lexical-retrieval and parsing skills;
    • a set of reading tasks focusing on both the meaning and structural levels of the text;
    • a set of translation tasks aimed at consolidation through retrieval practice;
    • a set of writing tasks targeting essential writing micro-skills such as spelling, functional and positional processing, editing and communication of meaning.

    Each sentence builder at the beginning of a unit contains one or more constructions which have been selected with real-life communication in mind. Each unit is built around that construction but not solely on it. Based on the principle that each E.P.I instructional sequence must move from modelling to production in a seamless and organic way, each unit expands on the material in each sentence builder by embedding it in texts and graded tasks which contain both familiar and unfamiliar (but comprehensible and learnable) vocabulary and structures. Through lots of careful recycling and thorough and extensive processing of the input, by the end of each unit the student has many opportunities to encounter and process the new vocabulary and patterns with material from the previous units.

    Alongside the units you will find: No Snakes No Ladders tasks created to practise speaking skills with an engaging and fun board game that can be photocopied and played in groups of 3 students.

  • CROSSROADS: Rugby League’s Greatest Battle

    Crossroads – Rugby League’s Greatest Battle is a contrarian and controversial look at rugby league in Australia and the great challenges and threats the code faces into the future.

    After the bitter civil war of Super League in the mid 1990s that ripped the heart out of the game, the code was supposed to have a happy ending with the newly merged NRL in 1998 and the creation of the Australian Rugby League Commission (ARLC) in 2012 to govern the code independently, which would enable the code to fight fire with other sports in Australia and allow the sport to finally reach its potential. But that happy ending has eluded the sport and seems further away than ever before, despite the media’s lavish praise for current Chairman Peter V’landys.

    Despite rugby league dominating and being the number one sport in both New South Wales and Queensland, with record television ratings, large media deals, solid crowds and extensive media coverage, the game faces great risks to its long-term success, both from within and externally, with threats from the nation’s strongest sport, the AFL.

    The outside looks great to most fans, but as Covid exposed the fragilities of the code after years of fiscal mismanagement, only by going deeper do you see the real health of the patient.

    Crossroads examines key matters which are not often discussed in today’s agenda-driven and non-independent corporate media, such as leadership, governance, the role of Peter V’landys, country rugby league, financial mismanagement, integrity and ethics, the dangers of today’s media, politics, grassroots, NRL product, expansion, the World Club Challenge and the international game.

    Written from the perspective of a long-time fan who is completely independent, it’s a no-nonsense look at the sport and a must read for all who love rugby league.

  • BLM: Breathe, Learn, Maneuver: A Strategical Approach To Overcoming Oppression

    Breathe, Learn, Maneuver: A Strategical Approach To Overcoming Oppression,
    Best Selling Author Terry Wayne

    “I like the solution-based approach to overcoming the hands we are dealt. It gives hope, courage, and motivation for creating the world we see and live in. Life CAN suck, period. But it doesn’t have to. BLM is a book of empowerment but relative to anyone living in today’s society.”
    -Katrina B., ASDS, Educator,& TV Personality

    “This book was very inspirational. There are some very good suggestions and tips to help you be more productive in every area of your life. I look forward to hearing more from Terry Wayne.”
    -M.S., Business Executive, Youth Pastor, Little League Coach

    Self-empowerment is the transformative concept that realigns and reignites the energy needed for change and leads us toward liberating new ways of thinking about ourselves and each other. Ridding yourself of self-sabotaging beliefs requires tapping into your deeply rooted beliefs instilled by the things we pick up consciously—and, more importantly, subconsciously. Harnessing the pain and frustration that come from being held back allows you to channel it into the very outlet that becomes your way out.

    There’s a war going on, and the battle begins within. Turn your energy inward; gaining discipline over your characteristics and behaviors, and create a new course of action. Armed with your new game plan, get up, take action, and never look back. New levels require long journeys, but if it’s truly fulfilling, nothing is out of your reach.If you’re like me and don’t feel the need to change, have the urge to fight, or are just flat-out comfortable with where you are, study this book to learn and fight like the lion you need to so you can live like the lamb that you are.

    The first book for us, by us.

    About The Author
    Terry Wayne is the author and co-author of more than five books that deal with personal growth, including the Amazon Kindle bestsellers Take The Leap and CoronaProof. He loves what he does; inspiring other parents, entrepreneurs, and dreamers across the world to keep growing and discover a life that’s truly fulfilling.

    Coming out ahead can seem impossible, especially when the system is rigged against you. The knowledge I share through these pages offers practical examples of what exactly to do when you find yourself in a “fixed” game. The answer, “Don’t whine about it. Climb up out it.”

  • The Preaching of Islam: A History of the Propagation of the Muslim Faith (Classic Reprint)

    Excerpt from The Preaching of Islam: A History of the Propagation of the Muslim Faith

    It is with considerable diffidence that I publish these pages: the subject with which they deal is so vast, and I have had to prosecute it under circumstances so disadvantageous, that I can hope but for small measure of success. When I may be better equipped for the task, and after further study has enabled me to fill up the gaps left in the present work, I hope to make it a more worthy contribution to this neglected department of Muhammadan history; and to this end I shall be deeply grateful for the criticisms and corrections of any scholars who may deign to notice the book. To such I would say in the words of St. Augustine: “Qui hsec legens dicit, intelligo quidem quid dictum sit, sed non vere dictum est; asserat ut placet sententiam suam, et redarguat meam, si potest. Quod si cum caritate et veritate fecerit, mihique etiam (si in hac vita maneo) cognoscendum facere curaverit, uberrimum fructum laboris huius mei cepero.”

    As I can neither claim to be an authority nor a specialist on any of the periods of history dealt with in this book, and as many of the events referred to therein have become matter for controversy, I have given full references to the sources consulted; and here I have thought it better to err on the side of excess rather than that of defect.

  • Green New Deal, The: Why the Fossil Fuel Civilization Will Collapse by 2028, and the Bold Economic Plan to Save Life on Earth

    03
    While the Green New Deal has become a lightning rod in the political sphere, there is a parallel movement emerging within the business community that will shake the very foundation of the global economy in coming years. The key sectors that make up the infrastructure of the economy are fast-decoupling from fossil fuels in favor of solar and wind energies that are becoming ever-cheaper. New studies are sounding the alarm about the prospect of 100 trillion dollars in stranded assets that are creating a carbon bubble likely to burst by 2028 – causing the collapse of the fossil fuel civilisation. The marketplace is speaking and governments will need to respond if they are to survive and prosper. In The Green New Deal, New York Times bestselling author and renowned economic theorist Jeremy Rifkin delivers the political narrative and economic plan for the Green New Deal that we need at this critical moment in history. The concurrence of a stranded fossil fuel assets bubble and a green political vision opens up the possibility of a massive shift to a post-carbon ecological era, in time to prevent a temperature rise that will tip us over the edge into runaway climate change. With twenty-five years of experience implementing Green New Deal-style transitions for both the European Union and the People’s Republic of China, Rifkin offers his vision for how to transform the global economy and save life on Earth.
