"Red Ted"
E. G. Theodore, one of Australia's most enterprising and unusual political figures, was Treasurer and Premier of Queensland and later Federal Treasurer and Deputy Prime Minister of Australia in the Scullin Labor government.
The Tyranny of Generosity
The practice of philanthropy, which releases private property for public purposes, represents in many ways the best angels of our nature. But this practice's noteworthy virtues often obscure the fact that philanthropy also represents the exercise of private power. In The Tyranny of Generosity, Theodore Lechterman shows how this private power can threaten the foundations of a democratic society. The deployment of private wealth for public ends may rival the authority of communities to determine their own affairs. And, in societies characterized by wide disparities in wealth, philanthropy often combines with background inequalities to make public decisions overwhelmingly sensitive to the prefe...
As It Was Told to Me
The Holy Bible contains God and his promises to every believer. Through the Holy Spirit, by divine revelations, we get to know and understand God words to us. Author Ted Theodore shares wisdom and divine insight about Gods word to every reader, especially devout Christians, in his book, As It Was Told To Me. When God promises, rather when God speaks, His Word is certain. It is definite. It is truth. It is life. When Jesus said, The words that I speak are spirit and life, He was referring to the spiritual creation of the Word and the eventual physical manifestation. It is this certainty that makes the concordance meaning of the word promise, in the New Testament, come alive, the author stated...
Baldwin-Wallace College
Baldwin-Wallace College, nestled in the quaint Cleveland suburb of Berea, boasts a rich history dating to the establishment of Baldwin Institute in 1845. Consistently at the forefront of national trends, Baldwin-Wallace was among the earliest U.S. colleges to admit women and minorities, and it established one of the first evening/weekend programs in the nation. Its founder, John Baldwin, insisted that education is a right for everyone, regardless of gender, race, or religion. This spirit of inclusiveness has been maintained, and today a Baldwin-Wallace education prepares students to be contributing, compassionate citizens in an increasingly global society. Campus traditions such as the Baldwin-Wallace Bach Festival, April Reign, Dance Marathon, and the faculty's personalized approach to learning unite students of the past and present in what so many alumni call the Baldwin-Wallace family.
My Generation of Achievers
Greeks in America during the latter half of the twentieth century had a mission to establish themselves as valuable contributors to society. Hundreds of them achieved success, building businesses, communities, and relationships that still stand today. Journalist Stacy Diacou documented their achievements in her social columns for Chicagos Greek Press newspaper, and My Generation of Achievers is a compilation of her writings. Beginning in 1969, Diacou showed how these brave souls left their homeland and jumped over the hurdles of language barriers, joblessness, and empty pockets to create a better world for their children in the United States of America. Diacou profiles specific, treasured in...
Alan the Red Fox Reid
Arguably Australia's most influential political journalist, Alan 'The Red Fox' Reid covered Australian politics from the 1930s to the 1980s. During his career he was both a chronicler of, and a player in, Australian politics. In this book Ross Fitzgerald and Stephen Holt take us into a Machiavellian behind-the-scenes world of recurrent plots, crises and leadership challenges, and show how it was possible for a skilled journalist to help shape both public perceptions and actual outcomes of political power plays.

Quarterly Essay 33 Quarry Vision
This is an essay about “quarry vision”, the mindset that sees Australia’s greatest asset as its mineral and energy resources – coal especially. How has this distorted our national politics and our response to climate change? What happens now that our coal-fired resources boom has gone bust? In this powerful essay about the national interest, Guy Pearse discusses the future of the coal industry and argues with the economic orthodoxy. He exposes the shadowy world of greenhouse lobbyists; how they think, operate and skin cats. Quarry vision, he argues, is a carbon-laced trap and a blind faith and a mentality we can no longer afford.
