"USA TODAY" sings that "Fans of Louisa May Alcott can rejoice"
thanks to this charming and uplifting story of the imagined lives
of three of Jo March's passionate, spirited descendants--that's Jo
March from "Little Women"
With her older sister, Emma, planning a wedding and her younger
sister, Sophie, preparing to launch a career on the London stage,
Lulu can't help but feel like the failure of the Atwater family.
Lulu loves her sisters dearly and wants nothing but the best for
them, but she finds herself stuck in a rut, working dead-end jobs
with no romantic prospects in sight.
Then Lulu stumbles across a collection of letters written by her
great-great-grandmother Josephine March. As she delves deeper into
the lives and secrets of the March sisters, she finds solace and
guidance, but can the words of her great-great-grandmother help
Lulu find a place for herself in a world so different from the one
Jo knew?
As uplifting and essential as Louisa May Alcott's "Little Women,"
Gabrielle Donnelly's novel will speak to anyone who's ever fought
with a sister, fallen in love with a fabulous pair of shoes, or
wondered what on earth life had in store for her.
As the uncertainty of global and local contexts continues to
amplify, the Routledge Handbook for Creative Futures responds to
the increasing urgency for reimagining futures beyond dystopias and
utopias. It features essays that explore the challenges of how to
think about compelling futures, what these better futures might be
like, and what personal and collective practices are emerging that
support the creation of more desirable futures. The handbook aims
to find a sweet spot somewhere between despair and naive optimism,
neither shying away from the massive socio-environmental planetary
challenges currently facing humanity nor offering simplistic
feel-good solutions. Instead, it offers ways forward-whether
entirely new perspectives or Indigenous and Traditional Knowledge
perspectives that have been marginalized within modernity-and
shares potential transformative practices. The volume contains
contributions from established and emerging scholars,
practitioners, and scholar-practitioners with diverse backgrounds
and experiences: a mix of Indigenous, Black, Asian, and
White/Caucasian contributors, including women, men, and trans
people from around the world, in places such as Kenya, India, US,
Canada, and Switzerland, among many others. Chapters explore
critical concepts alongside personal and collective practices for
creating desirable futures at the individual, community,
organizational, and societal levels. This scholarly and accessible
book will be a valuable resource for researchers and students of
leadership studies, social innovation, community and organizational
development, policy studies, futures studies, cultural studies,
sociology, and management studies. It will also appeal to
educators, practitioners, professionals, and policymakers oriented
toward activating creative potential for life-affirming futures for
all.
