Last Best Hope
Acclaimed National Book Award-winning author George Packer diagnoses America's descent into a failed state, and envisions a path toward overcoming injustices, paralyses, and divides How, in a few decades, did the United States transform from a broadly prosperous middle-class country, with relatively healthy institutions and competent leaders, to a nation defined by discredited elites, hollowed-out institutions, and blatant inequalities-feared and pitied by our friends, mocked and sabotaged by our adversaries, first in the world in Covid cases and deaths, and led in recent years by an incompetent authoritarian bigot? Last Best Hope is a bracing account of our current crisis and of how a new e...
Hope Lies in the Proles
George Orwell was one of the most significant literary figures on the left in the twentieth century. While titles such as 1984, Animal Farm and Homage to Catalonia are still rightly regarded as modern classics, his own politics are less well understood.Hope Lies in the Proles offers a sympathetic yet critical account of Orwell's political thinking and its continued significance today. John Newsinger explores various aspects of Orwell's politics, detailing Orwell's attempts to change working-class consciousness, considering whether his attitude towards the working class was romantic, realistic or patronising - or all three at different times. He also asks whether Orwell's anti-fascism was eclipsed by his criticism of the Soviet Union, and explores his ambivalent relationship with the Labour Party. Newsinger also breaks important new ground regarding Orwell's shifting views on the USA, and his relationship with the New Left and feminism.Focusing on the enduring interest in Orwell and his influence on current political causes, the book is ultimately a unique, nuanced attempt to demonstrate that Orwell remained a committed socialist up until his death.
Hope
Even without uttering the word, hope is with us as an instinct, a feeling, an impulse, as an insistent human reflex in the face of negativism and despair. The photographs in this collection were assembled to make hope more than a reflex; in the face of these wonderful testaments to human optimism and nobility, our sense of hope manifests itself in all its marvelous power. A belief that we have value, than humanity has nobility, was the guiding principle in assembling these photographs. Focusing on images from the second half of the twentieth century, this collection includes work by some of the most distinguished photographs of our era (Among the photographers: Robert Adams, Gille Peress, Fl...

Faith, Hope, and a Bird Called George
In this charming and deeply spiritual tale, a woman named Hope explores many of life's most profound questions--surprisingly assisted by her cat Faith and her bird, George. These three talk about God's presence and about suffering and death and the meaning of life. They talk about a prayerful relationship with God, "the presence all around us holding everything together." Together they tackle some very tough questions, and through this sharing and reflection, Hope gains a new and deeper understanding of Jesus, God, faith, and religion. Through this deceptively simple book, Morwood offers an invitation to all believers to reflect, pray, discuss, and grow so that they too might experience God, Jesus, and the Spirit more deeply and profoundly.
