Open a door and step through it. You cant see a thing: you could be anywhere. Step over the threshold, into the dark, and feel your way.We humans have a complicated relationship with the dark. We fear it, and make great efforts to blot it out. But we also long for it, especially if we live in cities, or remember the starry skies of our childhoods. Darkness opens us up to risk, delight and transformation. Is it possible to prise it free of its negative associations, which are as old as human thought itself?In her quest for a new, more intimate relationship with darkness, acclaimed poet and writer Jean Sprackland finds herself confronting some of the deepest and darkest questions about who we are and our place in the world. Drawing on memory and imagination, history and ecology, literature and myth, Night Vision is an expansive, thrilling journey into the true dark.

In an age where CEOs have become rock stars through cross-cultural appeal, James Reed is a proper stadium filler DAILY MIRRORA compelling, highly readable, case for PhilCos - or philanthropy companies - where at least 10% of shares are owned by a charity or foundation. [James Reed] calls it Karma Capitalism and believes its an innovative way for firms to deliver profits and social currency ... With increasing cynicism about old-fashioned, short-termist thinking among customers and employees, this is a refreshing and inspiring read DAILY EXPRESSKarma Capitalism is a persuasive exploration of how to do business differently & to shrink the divide between the haves and have-nots. PhilCos harmonising of business & philanthropic practice is an effort to share wealth, keeping government small & making capitalism sustainable. In a nutshell, philanthropy companies have soul ANTONIA FILMER, SUNDAY GUARDIAN James Reed is this countrys leading voice on effective, strategic philanthropy. His new book is both a persuasive argument for the PhilCo movement and a call to arms for entrepreneurs and executives who want to make the world and their own companies a better place. Read it, then go and put his ideas into action.

Corporations, he argues, are largely ignoring their employees, customers and wider community in the pursuit of short-term gain and profit, while charities suffer in the wake of the pandemic and cost-of-living crisis. However, there is an alternative.In his most important business book to date, James sets out his vision to encourage a whole new generation of PhilCos philanthropic minded businesses with at least 10 per cent of shares owned by a charitable foundation. Inspired by his own companys commitment to charity, James shares how PhilCos are more likely to:- Stay in business for 40 or more years- Foster shareholders that work toward a lasting legacy- Retain and motivate colleagues- Improve lives through charity workBest of all, being a PhilCo isnt a different way of doing business. It is a different way of being a business. Based on his own experiences of running Reed as a PhilCo and drawing on examples of other successes including IKEA, Lego and Rolex James explains how to choose the right business model for your PhilCo, how to establish a charitable foundation and how to reinvest your profits to make the most impact in the shortest space of time.Part-manifesto, part-guide, Karma Capitalism is a compelling and accessible introduction to the PhilCo movement, proving that its good business to be a good business.

Have I succeeded, in my own life? I dont know. I dont think so. Im in my eighties now and I just dont know. But then, maybe "success" is the wrong way of framing it. You just try, and when you fail, you keep trying.Over the course of eight years, Martin Scorsese and Jesuit theologian Antonio Spadaro discussed filmmaking and faith.From his Catholic upbringing amidst the brutality of 1950s New York to the heights of Hollywood, Scorsese sketches a unique self-portrait. And from Mean Streets to Killers of the Flower Moon - and especially the spiritual reckonings of The Last Temptation of Christ and Silence - he grants readers a new understanding of his films.Reflecting on grace and violence, fear and hope, passion and belief, these rich and intimate conversations offer a remarkable insight into the directors life and work.

The Battle for Order Power, Freedom, and the Future of Global Politics explores the defining struggle of our age: the escalating confrontation between authoritarian regimes and democratic societies for control of the global order.Drawing from international security research, political theory, and on-the-ground developments, this comprehensive analysis reveals how China, Russia, and the United States represent competing models of governanceand how technology, propaganda, and economic dependence are the new weapons of influence.Written for experts, diplomats, and strategic thinkers, this research-driven work dissects the new cold war of ideology and information, highlighting how fragile democratic institutions face coordinated challenges from autocratic power centers.
