In Our Bloc, Momentum co-founder James Schneider lays out an action plan for the British left. To move from defeatism to renewed confidence, he proposes a Left Bloc: an explicit alliance of socialists in Parliament, the Labour grassroots, the trade unions and social movements. In the wake of Corbyn's defeat, Schneider makes a bold argument: the central question is not whether to stay in or leave the Labour Party. Instead, we should focus on federating our forces - to strengthen our movements and voices today, and lay the ground to construct the party we need to enter the state tomorrow. Now is not the moment to scale back our ambitions. Climate shocks, rising debt, inequality and energy costs are hard barriers to neoliberalism's viability. If we can build power and prepare to seize the moment, we have a world to win.
At the end of 1912 Jacques Schneider announced his intention of presenting an annual trophy for an international seaplane contest. There were only twelve Schneider contests but they were major international events with the major rivals being Britain and Italy, followed by France and the US. Biplane seaplanes and flying-boats predominated the early contests and some very advanced twin-float biplanes were among the winners as late as 1925. However, it was the monoplane which was to become the symbol of Schneider Trophy, with Supermarine and Macchi designs reaching the peak of racing seaplane performance. The final winning combination of Supermarine airframe and Rolls-Royce engine was to make a vital contribution to Britain's defence in 1940 in the form of the Rolls-Royce powered Hurricane and Spitfire. This book records the contests and, in considerable detail, the design, development and achievements of the participating aircraft; those which failed to take part; and the projects, some of which embodied very advanced ideas even if they were proved to be unrealistic.
Lions in the Street is a compilation of poems, short stories on education, letters to the editor, unfinished novels, children stories and political and historical essays by the late James Schneider. The writings presented in this book are a compilation on a wide range of topics with an underlying thread of a love for family and children, a desire to improve the society in which we live and need to present an alternative point of view close to that of the common man which has been all, but ignored in the mainstream media.
Includes field staffs of Foreign Service, U.S. missions to international organizations, Agency for International Development, ACTION, U.S. Information Agency, Peace Corps, Foreign Agricultural Service, and Department of Army, Navy and Air Force
Schneider offers a startling reexamination of this leader's critical role in shaping the modern Middle East. The answers have profound implications for modern times, as a new generation of revolutionaries pulls pages from Lawrence's playbook of irregular warfare.
