Raising the Red Flag explores the origins of the British Marxist movement from the creation of the Social Democratic Federation to the foundation of the Communist Party. It tells a story of rising class struggle, the founding of the Labour Party, the fight against World War One, the Russian Revolution, and the explosive year of 1919. The book also uses new archival sources to re-examine Marxist organisations such as the British Socialist Party, the Socialist Labour Party, and Sylvia Parkhurst’s Workers’ Socialist Federation. Above all, this is the story of men and women who fought to liberate the working class from capitalism through socialist revolution.

Religious, political, and social movements are not new to society. It seems to be part of our human nature to seek a "better way" of doing things. However, when it comes to the church, do we tread on dangerous ground when we seek a "better way" of doing things by incorporating ideas from other religions and movements into Adventism? "Raising a Red Flag" examines two unrelated movements that simply share the same name-The One Project-and the same concept of transformation. One is a secular project that promotes shared global values and New Age concepts; the other is run by Adventists and promotes focusing solely on Jesus. By studying these two movements, Pastor Jan Voerman hopes to stimulate discussion and cause us to analyze the messages that fight for our attention and call us to change our thinking.

Have you ever been in a relationship and asked yourself, “Is this all there is?” Have you ever gone into a relationship seeing the red flags but choosing to ignore them? Have you ever gone into a relationship that appeared to be normal at the start but turned quickly into something you had never intended? If so, this book might be for you. It breaks down into several chapters where relationships tend to succeed and where they fail. It forces the reader to answer some tough questions about their current relationship. The goal here is to open the readers’ eyes to what is truly taking place and to analyze whether or not it’s something they can work on, make changes to, or altogether leave with the goal of becoming happy and fulfilled. Life is too short not to live in abundance. One should not “settle” in a relationship or become something they’re not. Everyone deserves happiness, and this book has the intention of allowing those interested to seek what they’ve always wanted or to turn their current relationships into what they originally wanted. I hope it helps lead many to happiness who truly deserve it.

War on Autism examines autism as a historically specific and power-laden cultural phenomenon that has much to teach about the social organization of a neoliberal western modernity. Bringing together a variety of interpretive theoretical perspectives including critical disability studies, queer and critical race theory, and cultural studies, the book analyzes the social significance and productive effects of contemporary discourses of autism as these are produced and circulated in the field of autism advocacy. Anne McGuire reveals how in the field of autism advocacy, autism often appears as an abbreviation, its multiple meanings distilled to various "red flag" warnings in awareness campaigns, bulleted biomedical "facts" in information pamphlets, or worrisome statistics in policy reports. She analyzes the relationships between these fragmentary enactments of autism and traces their continuities to reveal an underlying, powerful, and ubiquitous logic of violence that casts autism as a pathological threat that advocacy must work to eliminate. Such logic, McGuire contends, functions to delimit the role of the "good" autism advocate to one who is positioned "against" autism. Book jacket.
