Book Description
While change is a constant in our lives many of us have difficulty making conscious changes for fear of mistakes, wrong decisions, negative consequences or failure. As a result, we can feel stuck or confused when it is time to transition in our work, relationships or habits. This book provides a general theory of change, why and how we get stuck, and what we can do to make a shift. Through an exploration of common obstacles, we learn to tell the truth about what is possible, identify the difference between our power and our powerlessness, and make plans to achieve a positive future. As we begin to understand how power affects our lives and relationships, we develop the knowledge we need to change. Change comes from our awareness of what we want, the choices that are available to us, and clarity about the collective forces opposing us. Our access to power arises from this knowledge, our thoughtful plans put into action, practice of new skills, and the support of our communities. Through a series of alterations in our patterns of thought, embodiment and relationships, we learn to change and thus discover compassion, satisfaction, inner peacefulness, and freedom.

Book Description
Originally published in 1981, this book is composed of papers that describe and analyse women’s careers in government, business, and the professions. It examines women’s access to and participation in elite careers in the US, and in selected countries of western and eastern Europe – Britain, France, West Germany, Austria, Norway, Finland, Poland, and Yugoslavia – as well as in international organizations. This book was an outgrowth of a conference on ‘Women in decision-making elites in cross-national perspective,’ held at King’s College, Cambridge University, in July 1976. The countries represented were chosen because, although they were at similar stages of economic development, they exhibited differences in political structure, ideology, and tradition.

Book Description
Reports on a new generation of Internet controls that establish a new normative terrain in which surveillance and censorship are routine. Internet filtering, censorship of Web content, and online surveillance are increasing in scale, scope, and sophistication around the world, in democratic countries as well as in authoritarian states. The first generation of Internet controls consisted largely of building firewalls at key Internet gateways; China's famous “Great Firewall of China” is one of the first national Internet filtering systems. Today the new tools for Internet controls that are emerging go beyond mere denial of information. These new techniques, which aim to normalize (or even legalize) Internet control, include targeted viruses and the strategically timed deployment of distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks, surveillance at key points of the Internet's infrastructure, take-down notices, stringent terms of usage policies, and national information shaping strategies. Access Controlled reports on this new normative terrain. The book, a project from the OpenNet Initiative (ONI), a collaboration of the Citizen Lab at the University of Toronto's Munk Centre for International Studies, Harvard's Berkman Center for Internet and Society, and the SecDev Group, offers six substantial chapters that analyze Internet control in both Western and Eastern Europe and a section of shorter regional reports and country profiles drawn from material gathered by the ONI around the world through a combination of technical interrogation and field research methods.

Book Description
Joan Nelson elucidates the implications of this rapid growth and concomitant poverty for politics.

Book Description
Access YOUR Ultimate Power: The Blueprint to Infinite Intelligence reveals why we feel so powerless and how to access our true energetic power. This is an emerging feminine power that allows us to better tap into our innate intelligence...that part of our deep intuition that knows what is true and best for us, our bodies, and our families, that knows what gifts we have to give for the benefit of others. AYUP outlines an effective and simple system for accelerating our growth, expansion, and ascension. It shows us how to find and evaluate blocked energies and their causes and guides us through the process of eliminating them. Known as the ""secret weapon of millionaires,"" the science based Infinity System in this book describes the energetic mechanisms behind why and how our lives can change from stuck and unfulfilling to expansive, joyful, and rewarding in a matter of minutes. You will discover the ability to measure how far off you are from your desires and make any course corrections you need — your dreams already exist, you only need to become energetically aligned with them in order to realize them. Your ultimate power is your human birthright, and it is now within your reach.

If your organization is looking for a pragmatic, step-by-step guide to idea mapping, this is it." --Chris Brown, Executive Vice President, DTE Energy Resources "I have used idea maps for thirty years and have taught MBA students, employees, and my children how to harness their power. I strongly recommend this book and believe you will feel it to be one of the best investments you have ever made in your own growth." --Stephen C. Lundin, coauthor, FISH!

Book Description
An examination of how post-9/11 security concerns have transformed the public view and governance of infrastructure. After September 11, 2001, infrastructures—the mundane systems that undergird much of modern life—were suddenly considered “soft targets” that required immediate security enhancements. Infrastructure protection quickly became the multibillion dollar core of a new and expansive homeland security mission. In this book, Ryan Ellis examines how the long shadow of post-9/11 security concerns have remade and reordered infrastructure, arguing that it has been a stunning transformation. Ellis describes the way workers, civic groups, city councils, bureaucrats, and others used the threat of terrorism as a political resource, taking the opportunity not only to address security vulnerabilities but also to reassert a degree of public control over infrastructure. Nearly two decades after September 11, the threat of terrorism remains etched into the inner workings of infrastructures through new laws, regulations, technologies, and practices. Ellis maps these changes through an examination of three U.S. infrastructures: the postal system, the freight rail network, and the electric power grid. He describes, for example, how debates about protecting the mail from anthrax and other biological hazards spiraled into larger arguments over worker rights, the power of large-volume mailers, and the fortunes of old media in a new media world; how environmental activists leveraged post-9/11 security fears over shipments of hazardous materials to take on the rail industry and the chemical lobby; and how otherwise marginal federal regulators parlayed new mandatory cybersecurity standards for the electric power industry into a robust system of accountability.

Book Description
Proximity to the monarch was a vital asset in the struggle for power and influence in medieval and early modern courts. The concept of ‘access to the ruler’ has therefore grown into a dominant theme in scholarship on pre-modern dynasties. Still, many questions remain concerning the mechanisms of access and their impact on politics. Bringing together new research on European and Asian cases, the ten chapters in this volume focus on the ways in which ‘access’ was articulated, regulated, negotiated, and performed. By taking into account the full complexity of hierarchies, ceremonial rites, spaces and artefacts that characterized the dynastic court, The Key to Power? forces us to rethink power relations in the late medieval and early modern world. Contributors are: Christina Antenhofer, Ronald G. Asch, Florence Berland, Mark Hengerer, Neil Murphy, Fabian Persson, Jonathan Spangler, Michael Talbot, Steven Thiry, and Audrey Truschke.
