What songs can raise humanity out of the industrial materialism of our capitalist society into the spiritual and scientific enlightenment of an ecological, egalitarian worldview? What songs can ring our core with the fragile and heroic condition of the human being in a time of increasing global imbalance? This volume's 57 poems both sing and advance our spiritual and scientific sophistication in a way that calls to account both our hearts and minds to a more precise awareness of our human purpose, equality, vulnerability, and potential. Exploring love, politics and our connection to nature and to each other at many levels, each poem brings to life the beautiful synthesis of wisdom and mystery that are life's universal. This volume ends with "Tears for Amy," an elegy for a former classmate, Amy Biehl, a Fulbright scholar killed at the age of 26 while studying the transition to democracy in South Africa. A meditation on democracy, society, humanity, and the future for which Amy was working, "Tears for Amy" is 676 lines long, written in 26 26-line stanzas of terza rima, to mourn the young age at which Amy lost her life. The mission evoked in this volume's epigraph is that poetry is needed to advance, with music, image, eloquence and imagination, the brave new worldview for which our modern times are urgently calling. In fulfilling that mission, the poems in this volume will unite your heart's tenderest longing with the revolutions turning in the wider world. This is poetry that will engage us the way we need to engage with our time.

Movers and shakers operating in today¿s complex and volatile world often encounter sudden organizational and personal reversals of prospects and fortunes.

Brave New Saw Wave World applies this new capstone concept to transitioning Asia¿a quintessential saw wave arena¿in its intricate and changing relationship with the increasingly erratic global environment. It enables helmsmen in different walks of life to fathom the global-Asian nexus and discern the rich opportunities and dangerous storm clouds on the Asian continent that are likely to affect their organizations and careers.

Brave New Avant Garde is a collection of essays that ask the questions: what is an adequate model of contemporary avant garde practice and what are its theoretical premises? With this it asks the related question, echoing Alain Badiou: must the avant garde hypothesis be abandoned? Brave New Avant Garde stands in opposition to postmodern post-politics and the view that radical practice has no other future than its reduction to the workings of the free market in the form of the "simple process of cultural production" or to variations on the cultural politics of representation. Today's avant garde, formed in the wake of the end of the Soviet Union and the rise of the anti-globalization movement, represents a counter-power that rejects the inevitability of capitalist integration. The way out for artists in today's world of creative industries is defined in these pages as a psychoanalytically informed sinthomeopathic practice, a critical identification with prevailing conditions of production that avoids the surplus enjoyment of the ideology of postmodern pluralism. ,
