Life, Work, and Rebellion in the Coal Fields
"Between 1880 and 1922, the coal fields of southern West Virginia witnessed two bloody and protracted strikes, the formation of two competing unions, and the largest armed conflict in American labor history--a week-long battle between 20,000 coal miners and 5,000 state police, deputy sheriffs, and mine guards. These events resulted in an untold number of deaths, indictments of over 550 coal miners for insurrection and treason, and four declarations of martial law. Corbin argues that these violent events were collective and militant acts of aggression interconnected and conditioned by decades of oppression. His study goes a long way toward breaking down the old stereotypes of Appalachian and coal-mining culture"--Back cover.
Illuminate
Learn to create a positive work environment by accentuating the positive and illuminating the negative Illuminate argues that we can't create positive work environments without accepting the existence of the negative. Though "positive thinking" has its place in the work world, we can't ignore the negative, whether it be in the form of challenges, problems, limitations, or other negative business realities. In order to foster healthy, functional business, we have to create a culture that allows for open expression and the sharing of ideas-especially when those ideas are negative in nature. The key is that negative situations and conditions should be introduced and dealt with in a strictly pos...
Aristotle's 'Politics'
An accessible introduction to Aristotle's Politics - a classic of political theory, widely considered to be the founding text of Western political science.
Illuminate the Negative
Illuminating the negative is about questioning authority. It's about being proactive and thinking outside the box. It's about seeing negative issues in a positive light. We don't need more positive thinking. We need critical thinking, analytical thinking, unafraid-to-face-the-truth thinking. This book offers an example drawn from the experiences of countless individuals who have discovered that negative thinking can bring about unparalleled positive results in anyone's work and life.
Preventing BrandSlaughter
The brand, as a tangible expression of a top performing culture, comes to life when its elements - including the mission - are taken off the wall and put into daily action at all levels and through all individuals in the organization. This occurs, and is measured through, what David calls "ABI" - the Audit of Brand Integrity - are we living our brand? l In this book, Preventing BrandSlaughter, David Corbin outlines, in the form of a parable - the story of Reliant Hospital - how essential brand is to the foundational responsibility of any organization - attracting, engaging and keeping top performers.

The Village of Cannibals
In August 1870 in the French village of Hautefaye, a young nobleman, falsely accused of shouting republican slogans, was tortured for hours by a mob of peasants who later burned him alive. This book is a fascinating inquiry into the social and political ingredients of an alchemy that transformed ordinary people into brutal executioners.
A History of Silence
Silence is not simply the absence of noise. It is within us, in the inner citadel that great writers, thinkers, scholars and people of faith have cultivated over the centuries. It characterizes our most intimate and sacred spaces, from private bedrooms to grand cathedrals – those vast reservoirs of silence. Philosophers and novelists have long sought solitude and inspiration in mountains and forests. Yet despite the centrality of silence to some of our most intense experiences, the transformations of the twentieth century have gradually diminished its value. Today, raucous urban spaces and a continual bombardment from different media pressure us into constant activity. We are losing a sense of our inner selves, a process that is changing the very nature of the individual. This book rediscovers the wonder of silence and, with this, a richer experience of life. With his predilection for the elusive, Corbin calls us to listen to another history.
