A Smarter Charter
“A remarkable new book.... Wise and energetic advocates such as Kahlenberg and Potter can take the charter movement in new and useful directions.” —The Washington Post Moving beyond the debate over whether or not charter schools should exist, A Smarter Charter wrestles with the question of what kind of charter schools we should encourage. The authors begin by tracing the evolution of charter schools from teacher union leader Albert Shanker’s original vision of giving teachers room to innovate while educating a diverse population of students, to today’s charter schools where the majority of teachers are not unionized and student segregation levels are even higher than in traditional...
Moscow, Midnight
Government minister Patrick Macready has been found dead in his flat. The coroner rules it an accident, a sex game gone wrong. Jon Swift is from the old stock of journos - cynical, cantankerous and overweight - and something about his friend's death doesn't seem right. Then days after Macready's flat is apparently burgled, Swift discovers that his friend had been researching a string of Russian government figures who had met similarly 'accidental' fates. When the police refuse to investigate further, Swift gets in touch with his contacts in Moscow, determined to find out if his hunch is correct. Following the lead, he is soon drawn into a violent underworld, where whispers of conspiracies, assassinations and double-agents start blurring the line between friend and foe. But the truth will come at a price, and it may cost him everything.

from estranger to e-stranger
This book is a compilation of the 77 posts Annie Abrahams wrote for her (e)stranger website between April and August 2014. Some of these are personal, others go back to literature, art works or are more theoretical. Abrahams plays creatively with ideas of what it means to be an (e)stranger. She researches its possibilities, beyond it's handicapping proprieties and touches upon themes as different as the use of Latin in church to questions about the relation between code and emotions. PastMono, research, collage, bricolage, assemblage. An (e)stranger is invisible, exotic, unidentifiable, rude, hybrid, blurry, deformed, subversive, incomprehensible, complex, pliable, lonely, abject, harder and more fragile at the same time ... they are more resilient, more inventive, know how to protect themselves, are good observers, look around a lot, see and ask questions about things that seem to be self-evident ...
The Unknowing Box Jumper: How the church can avoid playing a role in the future deception
In the Bible when it speaks of the End times, there is a warning that many will be deceived, even "the elect." With the rapid advancement of technology, we are living in a time when many of these deceptions and components of the system of the Antichrist can be accomplished and implemented, respectively. We actually use many of these components in our day-to-day lives without considering how they can be used against us. During the recent global pandemic many individual technologies were introduced that were used to control the population, and in my opinion, most churches did not do enough to challenge the State because, similar to individuals, they have accepted these tech advancements in the...
