In the mid- to late 1980s, rave culture developed. It influenced
music, design, art, drugs, fashion, language and even the law.
Originally emerging in the USA, it was refined in the UK by people
who wanted to dance, party and express themselves in terms of art
and music. It started in in small, sweaty clubs but such was the
popularity that soon enormous Raves, with tens of thousands of
people, were common. 'House' music and illegal drug ecstasy were
the driving forces behind what turned into a global phenomenon.
Events that started as secretive nights in underground clubs, with
word-of-mouth advertising grew from one-off take-overs of unusual
venues into huge open land-based events. Pager and telephonic
communication became the medium of message-passing, and flyers were
key to it all: informing the right people about the right place at
the right time. Chelsea Berlin was there from the beginning,
attending many of the now legendary events, from Club Shoom to
Energy and beyond. In Rave Art, the whole exciting movement is
documented through the flyers that were handed out freely (often
privately) to inform partygoers of the next venue. Flyer design
became an artform, and this book contains hundreds of the most
significant and rare examples from Chelsea's huge collection.
Together with personal reminiscences and quotes from famous,
infamous and not-so-famous attendees, Rave Art paints a vivid
picture of what is probably the last significant youth culture
movement of modern times.
Over the last 10 years, the concept of value has emerged in both
business and public life as part of an important process of
measuring, benchmarking, and assuring the resources we invest and
the outcomes we generate from our activities. In the context of
public life, value is an important measure on the contribution to
business and social good of activities for which strict financial
measures are either inappropriate or fundamentally unsound. A
systematic, interdisciplinary examination of public value is
necessary to establish an essential definition and up-to-date
picture of the field. In reflecting on the 'public value project',
this book points to how the field has broadened well beyond its
original focus on public sector management; has deepened in terms
of the development of the analytical concepts and frameworks that
linked the concepts together; and has been applied increasingly in
concrete circumstances by academics, consultants, and
practitioners. This book covers three main topics; deepening and
enriching the theory of creating public value, broadening the
theory and practice of creating public value to voluntary and
commercial organisations and collaborative networks, and the
challenge and opportunity that the concept of public value poses to
social science and universities. Collectively, it offers new ways
of looking at public and social assets against a backdrop of
increasing financial pressure; new insights into changing social
attitudes and perceptions of value; and new models for increasingly
complicated collaborative forms of service delivery, involving
public, private, and not-for-profit players.

ECPA BESTSELLER - Build your Bible IQ and Christian worldview in just
fifteen minutes a day! Over the course of a year, Core 52 will help you
master the 52 most important passages in the Bible.
"You will gain the tools you need for living the life God has called
you to."--Kyle Idleman, pastor and author of Not a Fan
"For physical training is of some value, but godliness has value for
all things, holding promise for both the present life and the life to
come."--1 Timothy 4:8
Most of us want to know the Bible better, but few reach our goal, often
because we're too busy or we don't know where to start. Core 52 removes
both barriers, offering a common-sense solution that fits into our busy
lives. Respected Bible professor and teaching pastor Mark E. Moore
developed this proven process from thirty-five years of helping people
grow deeper in God's Word.
Each week features a brief essay, memory verse, Bible story, trajectory
verses, and practical ways to put what you've learned into practice. An
optional "Overachiever Challenge" offers the chance to memorize the top
100 Bible verses by year's end.
This simple approach allows you to become familiar with the big ideas
of the Bible in less time and with less effort than other reading
plans. In one year, you can master the core of the Bible--focusing on
topics from God's will to worry, happiness to holiness, and leadership
to love. These fifty-two core passages are lenses through which you can
read the rest of the Bible with clarity and confidence.
