Have you ever seen a pelican waddle on land yet glide effortlessly in the sky? Even though pelicans are less than attractive, they have amazing abilities that set them apart from other birds. In the story "The Perfect Pelican," you will meet Perfect-One, a pelican who is born different from the other pelicans in the colony. He will delight you with his charming personality and unique perspective on life. You will also be introduced to his brother, and together they experience many adventures, as brothers often do! I had the opportunity to spend some of my winters in Mexico and observed pelicans and their sometimes peculiar behavior. That is where the idea for this book was "hatched." Though there are some interesting facts about pelicans woven into this story, I believe the main theme is about relationships, courage and discovering and using your unique gifts.

Shouldn’t everyone receive a stake in society's wealth? Could we create a fairer world by guaranteeing income to all? What would this mean for our health, wealth, and happiness? Basic income is a revolutionary idea that guarantees regular, unconditional cash transfers from the government to all citizens. It is an acknowledgement that everyone plays a part in generating the wealth currently enjoyed by only a few and would rectify the recent breakdown in income distribution. Political parties across the world are now adopting this innovative policy and the idea generates headlines every day. Guy Standing has been at the forefront of thought surrounding basic income for the past thirty years, and in this book he covers in authoritative detail its effects on the economy, poverty, work, and labor; dissects and disproves the standard arguments against basic income; explains what we can learn from pilots across the world; and illustrates exactly why basic income has now become such an urgent necessity.

The essential introduction to Islam by a leading expert Hardly a day goes by without mention of Islam. And yet, for most people, and in much of the world, Islam remains a little-known religion. Whether the issue is violence, terrorism, women's rights or slavery, Muslims are today expected to provide answers and to justify what Islam is - or is not. But little opportunity exists, either in the media or in society as a whole, to describe Islam: precisely the question this short and extremely accessible book sets out to answer. In simple, direct language it will introduce readers to Islam, to its spirituality, its principles, its rituals, its diversity and its evolution.
