A Global Guidebook for Activism in the Age of Climate Chaos and Social InjusticeIn 1994, Patagonia invited representatives from 75 grassroots nonprofit organizations to gather and learn from active experts how to be more effective at what they do. Through this ongoing conference as well as years of funding these organizations, Patagonia has helped thousands of activists make the changes they envision for the world. In 2016, Patagonia publishedTools for Grassroots Activists,a compilation of presentations from the Tools conferences, accompanied by case studies and inspiring essays from environmental leaders. The world since then has changed in profound ways, and so a new set of tools is required for the world we now occupy. Tools to Save Our Home Planet: A Changemaker's Guidebook captures the wisdom and best advice from activists in the field, creating a resource for any organization hoping to hone core skills.The lessons and examples it shares are as current, diverse, and global as the changemakers working around the world. At a high level, the book's structure echos an activist's journey. It begins with self-reflection, essays prompting readers to identify their purpose and clarify their cause. The focus shifts to the inner workings of an organization or campaign-how to create a communications strategy; organize people, and fundraise-before taking an outward look at creating momentum through mobilizing and events, using political tools, collaborating with other people and organizations, and taking legal action. The book culminates with a chapter all about movements: How combining purpose, effective organizations, and momentum can create a tidal wave that can change the world. A go-to resource for driving change, offering anyone who is passionate about environmental and social justice a timely and relevant resource to support their mission-aligned work, this book is intended for both those who are new to taking action and seasoned activists and community organizers who want to learn how others are finding success.The hope is that, like its predecessor, it will become dog-eared and scribbled in -- a reassuring and resourceful companion to the environmental and environmental justice movements.

Dieses Open-Access-Buch adressiert die durch Globalisierung und Digitalisierung zunehmende Internationalisierung der Wahrnehmung von Urheberrechten. Musikverlage, aber auch Urheber sehen sich dabei zwar der Option einer selbstbestimmten internationalen Wahrnehmung ihrer Urheberrechte gegenüber. Gleichzeitig ist dieser Schritt aber mit großen betriebswirtschaftlichen, technischen und rechtlichen Herausforderungen und Unsicherheiten behaftet. Dieses Buch soll an der Schnittstelle zwischen Wissenschaft und Praxis die Grundlagen, Konzepte und Technologien internationaler Verwertung vermitteln. Dabei strukturiert es sich entlang des Lebenszyklus, beginnend mit der Mitgliedschaft bei Verwertungsgesellschaften, über Werk- und Nutzungsmeldungen bis hin zu Abrechnungsprüfungen und Reklamationen.

The real story of Frankenstein is finally told from the monster's point of view.

There are creatures lurking in our world. Obscure creatures long relegated to myth and legend. They have been sighted by a lucky-or unlucky-few, some have even been photographed, but their existence remains unproven and unrecognized by the scientific community.These creatures, long thought gone, have somehow survived; creatures from our nightmares haunting the dark places. They swim in our lakes and bays, they soar the night skies, they hunt in the woods. Some are from our past, and some from other worlds, and others have always been with us-watching us, fearing us, hunting us.These are the cryptids, and Systema Paradoxa tells their tales.***PI and retired MMA fighter Rufus Griffin pounds the streets of Vegas on the tail of an unfaithful spouse, but what he finds is a tale of another sort. One of intrigue and illicit fight clubs and cage bouts too incredulous to believe, even when he sees the fighters with his own eyes.He keeps his head down and stays on task until he discovers those in the ring aren't there by choice. A victim of abuse himself, there is no way he can leave them to their fate, even when his official business concludes. Rufus Griffin dives back into the underbelly of the Strip and comes out fighting.

The Right to Bear Arms - and the wisdom of doing so is intended to present a cohesive argument for: 1) the right of the average citizen to go armed for the protection of self, family, friends and others; and 2) the advantage of an armed populace. These arguments are based on the research of leading legal experts, historians, economists, criminologists, and statisticians.
