In the decades since, he has faced Communist China's leaders--Mao Zedong, Deng Xiaoping, Jiang Zemin, Hu Jintao, and Xi Jinping--in his efforts to protect Tibet and its people, with their distinct language, culture, religion, history, and environment, in the face of the greatest possible obstacles.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNow, almost seventy-five years after China's initial invasion of Tibet, the Dalai Lama reminds the world of Tibet's unresolved struggle for freedom and the hardship his people continue to face in their own homeland.

Now that basketball is no longer a major part of his identity, Ossie--a Black teen who doesn't come from wealth and privilege--must navigate his new place in the social and academic ecosystems of his affluent, predominantly white school. When a Black teacher encourages him to join her highly regarded writing program, Ossie begins to find a new purpose, buoyed by not only the rich works of literature by marginalized authors he's now reading, but also by new friends who see him as something more than an asset to the sports program. Everything changes when some students' viral \"anti-woke\" video puts the teacher's job, the writing program, and even Ossie's friends' safety at risk--and Ossie must find his true voice. This unflinching novel confronts critical issues like racism and classism, the treatment of student athletes, homophobia, and book banning while weaving together a moving testament to family, romance, friendship, and the power of words.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFrederick Joseph\u003c\/b\u003e is a Yonkers, New York-raised two-time \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eUSA Today\u003c\/i\u003e best-selling author.

Hemphill demonstrates a future in which healing is done in community, weaving together stories from their own experience as a trauma survivor with clinical accounts and lessons learned from their time as a social movement architect. They ask, \"What would it do to movements, to our society and culture, to have the principles of healing at the very center?

But with varying degrees of protective guardrails in place for the everyday items, consumers are tasked with playing toxic-chemical detective and those unable to afford safer products are left hanging in the balance.

One reason is that the most important problems, like climate change, racism, and poverty, are \u003ci\u003estructural\u003c\/i\u003e. They emerge from our collective practices: laws, economies, history, culture, norms, and built environments. The dilemma is that there is no way to make structural change without individual people making different--more \u003ci\u003estructure-facing\u003c\/i\u003e--decisions. In \u003ci\u003eSomebody Should Do Something\u003c\/i\u003e, Michael Brownstein, Alex Madva, and Daniel Kelly show us how we can connect our personal choices to structural change and why individual choices matter, though not in the way people usually think. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe authors paint a new picture of how social change happens, arguing that our most powerful personal choices are those that springboard us into working together with others--warehouse worker Chris Smalls's unionization at Amazon is one powerful example. Taking inspiration from the writer Bill McKibben, they stress how one \"important thing an individual can do is be somewhat \u003ci\u003eless \u003c\/i\u003eof an individual.\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eOrganized into three main parts, the book first diagnoses the problem of \"either\/or\" thinking about social change, which stems from the false choice of making better personal choices or changing the system. Then it offers a different way to think about social change, anchored in a new picture of human nature emerging across the social sciences. Finally, the authors explore ways of putting this picture into practice. Neither a how-to manual nor an activist's guide, \u003ci\u003eSomebody Should Do Something\u003c\/i\u003e pairs stories with science (plus some jokes) to help readers recognize their own power, turning resignation about climate change and racial injustice into actions that transform the world.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMichael Brownstein is Professor and Chair of Philosophy at John Jay College and Professor of Philosophy at The Graduate Center, CUNY.

While ambivalent about his WASP privilege--as a teenager he demanded that his name be removed from the New York \u003ci\u003eSocial Register\u003c\/i\u003e--he attended Yale and cut his teeth in postwar Paris, co-founding \u003ci\u003eThe Paris Review \u003c\/i\u003eas he worked undercover for the CIA. But then, after a rebellious stint as a Long Island fisherman, he escaped into a series of wild expeditions: floating through the Amazon to recover a prehistorical fossil; embedding with a tribe in Netherlands New Guinea; swimming with sharks off the coast of Australia. His novels, inspired by his travels, were unclassifiable meditations about Caymanian turtle hunters and frontier outlaws in the Florida Everglades. Meanwhile, his nonfiction became legendary: nature books like \u003ci\u003eWildlife in America\u003c\/i\u003e--\"key parts of the canon of emergent environmental writing,\" says Bill McKibben--as well as advocacy journalism supporting Cesar Chavez, Leonard Peltier, and Native American land claims. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eUnderlying all Matthiessen's disparate pursuits was the same existential search--to find a cure for \"deep restlessness.\" This search was most profoundly articulated in \u003ci\u003eThe Snow Leopard\u003c\/i\u003e, his famous account of a 250-mile wildlife survey across the Himalayas. In \u003ci\u003eTrue Nature\u003c\/i\u003e, Lance Richardson reconstructs the full scope of a spiritual quest that ultimately led Matthiessen, even as he inflicted great pain on his family, to the highest ranks of Zen. Drawing on rich primary sources and hundreds of interviews, Richardson depicts Matthiessen's life with page-turning immediacy, while also illuminating how the writer's uncanny gifts enabled him to sense connections between ecological decline, racism, and labor exploitation--to express, eloquently and presciently, that \"in a damaged human habitat, all problems merge.\"\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eLANCE RICHARDSON's first book, \u003ci\u003eHouse of Nutter\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003e The Rebel Tailor of Savile Row\u003c\/i\u003e, was a \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e Editors' Choice and named one of the notable titles of 2018 by \u003ci\u003eThe Sunday Times\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Mail on Sunday\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003e Esquire, \u003c\/i\u003e and the American Library Association.

These posters show how powerful propaganda can be as a tool for spreading hate: how repetition, vivid imagery, and urgent messaging promote intense emotional reactions--fear, distrust, loyalty, revulsion--that can be used to create a coordinated campaign to impact the way we think. By understanding the visual language of propaganda from the past, we can learn to recognize and resist messages of hate--an essential skill in a digital world where information is spread in seconds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.5 x 8.9 x 7 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e October 21, 2025\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":63141469782365,"sku":"9781772604290","price":31.78,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1025\/5558\/2813\/files\/uUHNHKvBRl9781772604290.webp?v=1768813456"}],"url":"https:\/\/novellybooks.com\/collections\/activism-social-justice-books.oembed?page=5","provider":"Novelly Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
