Описание: Civil Society has emerged as one of the most celebrated concept of the twentieth and the twenty-first centuries. It offers practices that are the means and certain normative ideals that are the ends to be achieved for the preservation of democracy and expansion of the process of democratization. When available practices fail, reasons have been sought in the ideals being too lofty, and when the ideals looked minimalist, the blame has been shifted to the nature of practices being free-floating and bereft of definitive borders.
Politics of Post-Civil Society is an attempt to map the discourse and politics of contemporary political movements in India that have been negotiating with the hegemonic effects born out of the insidious co-habitation of political principles and practices in the domain referred to as the civil society. In course of constructing the political landscape of these movements, the book foregrounds the various strategies through which they are pushing and nudging towards a new politics of post-civil society.
Point to Counterpoint offers compelling, sometimes deeply personal, experiences as it wanders through a journey from birth to death, beginnings to endings, Alpha to Omega in poems, reflections, inspiration and Eros; experiences of life, love, passion, obsession, depression and transcendence. The book suggests sometimes countering perspectives on these. Such contrasts are even found within some of the individual poems and essays. This book is premised on the notion that 'every beginning contains the seeds and signs of its own ending.'
Point to Counterpoint is a singular achievement in poetic expression; quite extraordinary in conception and execution. It is not just another book of poetry. This compilation of poems, reflections and inspirations will take readers on a journey of beginnings and endings, from birth to death and various points in between. It offers a smorgasbord of perspectives and experiences from which readers can choose. Mel has dared to create something that differentiates itself - in structure and premise - from other collections of poems I have read over decades.
Poetry is a very personal thing, both in the writing and reading. What Mel has crafted is worth spending time with. You can choose to read some or all of the poems and/or contemplate the reflections, lyrics and 'Food for Thought' presented throughout. Each of us brings our own appetite when engaging with a book, sifting through our preferences - sort of like panning for gold nuggets. Readers will find many such gems in this unique contribution to poetic literature.
The organizing principle allows readers to easily enter, engage and appreciate, any of the eleven chapters without prior reading of previous chapters. Readers, rather than reading sequentially, may prefer to enter a topic of immediate interest such as 'Parenting', 'Love', 'Sexuality and Erotic Awakenings', 'Colors and Emotions', 'Hope and Inspiration', 'Gifts of Nature', 'Existential Moments', 'Growing Old', or 'Dying and Death'.
The evocative language, kindness of tone and format of content blend artfully together, delivering a thought-provoking volume.
Mel's book offers a plethora of feelings and meditations, often presented with alternative perspectives. The chapter introductions lure readers in and then let them feel and think about what has been said. The finished product emerges as the poetic art of its creator.
This colorful compilation invites the reader on a journey; carving and painting a space for discoveries in sometimes mystical and transcendent expressions, compelling us to lean in, to marvel at, and revel in the cracks and crevices that leave an indelible mark as the years stretch and expand, and wisdom and light that is garnered through love and loss, seeps in.

Описание: It is widely observed that societies are changing, and new social issues are raising. The relationship between actors in the global environment and in the local as well, is changing because of financial crisis, new technological revolution, climate change, richness reallocation and concentration. We can see that value creation and management models in organizations are often uncoherent with the satisfaction of needs. The ability to create competitive advantages on a financial level seems to be increasingly developed. This can be sustained by the clear trend that leads companies to grow in size or create strong groups by shifting uncertainty over the weaker part of the market and unorganized systems and citizens. In this misalignment, empty spaces in the economic environment are opened. These spaces are those where the action of the public system can no longer be effective (or where it has never been) and where, more and more, the private interests are weak or absent. New wants are emerging in these areas and traditional models are no longer able to answer many of these needs. The book The Social Issue in Contemporary Society: Relations Between Companies, Public Administrations and People originates from a huge number of questions with the social issue as “fil rouge”. In this perspective, the book is divided in four parts: “Introduction”, “New Models and Tools for Public Administration”, “New Models for New Companies” and “New Models for New Societies”. A range of scholars that authored that book provide us with a different point of view about the problem that is underlined in the book title. We hope it will be a worthy inspiration for who dream a new idea of society.
