Scaling up from the details of Akamatsu’s lived experience, the book addresses major events in modern Japanese history, including colonization and empire, war, the nuclear bombings, and the transwar proletarian movement. More broadly, it outlines an ethical position known as persistence, which occupies the grey area between complicity and resistance: Like resilience, persistence signals a commitment to not disappearing—a fierce act of taking up space but often from a ...
Absolute Certainty
In the tradition of the E-Myth, Absolute Certainty is a powerful story that will transform the service based business Andrew is like many business operators; completely overwhelmed by his to-do list. His clients are grumbling about his fees, his partners believe the firm is underperforming, and his doctor says' he's heading for a heart attack. All his business is about these days is busyness, and it's not a lot of fun anymore. We join Andrew on a journey of discovery as he meets up with Karen, a graphic designer who has been working on her business in preparation for her region's business awards. As Karen runs through her presentation for his critical benefit, Andrew notices the many similarities between her business and his own. He is impressed by all the ways that Karen has managed to deal with the same general issues of keeping customers happy, invoicing for value (instead of time) and most of all, how she has increased efficiencies that typically lead to bottlenecking that slows down productivity.

My Long Flight from Freedom
My Long Flight From Freedom is Sandy Geyer's honest, humorous and courageous account of her journey as a white South African woman growing up in, and then ultimately leaving her beloved homeland. Her personal experiences and challenges provide many insights into why so many South Africans' new found freedom has simply led to heartbreaking sacrifices made as they felt powerless to stay behind in a country ravaged by violence. Sandy describes genuine experiences of the turbulent times before the fall of Apartheid and the rise of the ANC government, including her brief but inspirational meeting with Nelson Mandela soon after his freedom was granted. This book is a must read, and has been described as 'un- put-down-able' by all who have reviewed it.
