These entrepreneurs broke the business mold in the 1980s and 1990s and are now trying to break the traditional pattern of philanthropy pioneered by Andrew Carnegie and John D.

ULYSSES and Justice
For James McMichael, Joyce's Ulysses invites the wide range of interpretations it has received: what it also does is to prod its interpreters to put the book to some just use. If Ulysses were more conventional than it is, McMichael claims, its readers could set more comfortable limits for themselves in their responses to it, limits that did not extend beyond Ulysses into their dealings with persons in the world. But what happens instead is that the singularly unconventional narrative structure of Ulysses keeps reminding them that the story they are being told about any of the characters is the same kind of story they tell themselves whenever they think about a person. It reminds them that ev...
Mind State
Mind State is a new collection of imaginative and thought-provoking tales from the author of Day’s End, Sistina, and World Hunger. In Icarus Falling, a routine lunar supply mission turns into a hellish journey whose end can only be carnage, for the crew and for everyone awaiting their arrival. In Eliot’s Ghost, a business executive must finally face the consequences of a long-forgotten decision as he searches for a mysterious, long-lost worker whose tormented spirit fills his dreams. And in Arwen, a young woman shopping for books meets an unexpected stranger, one who shares wonders beyond her imagining and, in the end, leaves her with a truly unexpected gift. Swain’s second collection ...
Sanctuary and Asylum
The practice of sanctuary—giving refuge to the threatened, vulnerable stranger—may be universal among humans. From primate populations to ancient religious traditions to the modern legal institution of asylum, anthropologist Linda Rabben explores the long history of sanctuary and analyzes modern asylum policies in North America, Europe, and elsewhere, contrasting them with the role that courageous individuals and organizations have played in offering refuge to survivors of torture, persecution, and discrimination. Rabben gives close attention to the mid-2010s refugee crisis in Europe and to Central Americans seeking asylum in the United States. This wide-ranging, timely, and carefully documented account draws on Rabben’s experiences as a human rights advocate as well as her training as an anthropologist. Sanctuary and Asylum will help citizens, professionals, and policy makers take informed and compassionate action. A Capell Family Book
