It's OK to be angry about capitalism. It's OK to want something better. Bernie Sanders takes on the 1% and speaks blunt truths about a system that is fuelled by uncontrolled greed, and rigged against ordinary people. Where a handful of oligarchs have never had it so good, with more money than they could spend in a thousand lifetimes, and the vast majority struggle to survive. Where a decent standard of living for all seems like an impossible dream.
How can we accept an economic order that allows three billionaires to control more wealth than the bottom half of our society? How can we accept a political system that allows the super-rich to buy elections and politicians? How can we accept an energy system that rewards the fossil fuel corporations causing the climate crisis? How can we let it happen any longer? We must demand fundamental economic and political change. This is where the path forward begins.
It's OK To Be Angry About Capitalism presents a vision of what would be possible if the political revolution took place. If we would finally recognize that economic rights are human rights, and work to create a society that provides them. This isn't some utopian fantasy; this is democracy as we should know it. Is it really too much to ask?

First published in 1967, Ernest Cole’s House of Bondage has been lauded as one of the most significant photobooks of the twentieth century, revealing the horrors of apartheid to the world for the first time and influencing generations of photographers around the globe.
Reissued for contemporary audiences, this edition adds a chapter of unpublished work found in a recently resurfaced cache of negatives and recontextualizes this pivotal book for our time.
Cole, a Black South African man, photographed the underbelly of apartheid in the 1950s and ’60s, often at great personal risk. He methodically captured the myriad forms of violence embedded in everyday life for the Black majority under the apartheid system—picturing its miners, its police, its hospitals, its schools. In 1966, Cole fled South Africa and smuggled out his negatives; House of Bondage was published the following year with his writings and first-person account.
This edition retains the powerful story of the original while adding new perspectives on Cole’s life and the legacy of House of Bondage. It also features an added chapter—compiled and titled “Black Ingenuity” by Cole—of never-before-seen photographs of Black creative expression and cultural activity taking place under apartheid.
Made available again nearly fifty-five years later, House of Bondage remains a visually powerful and politically incisive document of the apartheid era.
Australian Library Supervision and Management is aimed at both
students and practitioners at supervisory to middle management
levels. It introduces management theory, but much of the theory is
woven through the text, which emphasises practical issues and
perspectives. Topics given special attention include skills
required to implement and support participative management, team
management, leadership, self management, change management,
strategic planning, job design, performance measurement,
negotiation and conflict resolution.
The first edition of this book, published in 1995, was the first
comprehensive text on the management of libraries written for the
Australasian librarian and student. Reviews of the first edition
considered it a "a valuable contribution to the literature"
(Australian Library Journal). Such has been the demand for this
book, especially from students of library and information
management, that it has been reprinted several times (including an
abridged version in 2000). This long-awaited second edition takes
into account the changes in management theory and practice, and the
issues confronting the library manager in the twenty-first century.
Gene probes, whether RNA or DNA, have played a central role in the
rapid development of molecular biology. The wide variety of
applications is matched by a considerable diversity in the methods
used for generating probes, a complete account of which would be
very difficult to make. Instead, this second volume in the series
combines a selection of newer gene probe procedures with a review
of the most important established methods, together with some
examples of the ways in which gene probes can be applied. In doing
so, the book aims to act not only as an introductory manual for
newcomers to the field, but also as a means of broadening the
horizons of existing researchers.
The recent imperative for online teaching has brought many
educational challenges to the fore. Featuring current topics such
as accessibility, diversity, and mobile access, this guide contains
everything a teacher needs to make a great online course in one
read. The author provides step by step instructions for coding
classes, appendices with relevant laws and a copyright checklist, a
resource list for online course design and a bibliography of theory
and applied pedagogy. In addition, she shares techniques to improve
engagement for both students and instructors. Professors,
instructors, and librarians in higher education teaching online,
hybrid or flex courses that are looking for ways to build
interesting classes for a diverse student body will find
inspiration and direction in Creating Inclusive and Engaging Online
Courses.
