poverty by america desmond matthew

The United States is the richest country on earth, yet has more poverty than any other advanced democracy. One in seven Americans live below the poverty line, a line which hasn t shifted over the last fifty years, despite the efforts of successive governments. Why is there so much scarcity in this land of dollars? In Poverty, by America, acclaimed sociologist Matthew Desmond examines American poverty today and the stories we tell ourselves about it.Spanning social isolation, mass incarceration, the housing crisis, domestic violence, crack and opioid epidemics, welfare cuts and more, Desmond argues that poverty does not result from a lack of resources or good policy ideas. We already know how to eliminate it. The hard part is getting more of us to care. To do so, we need a new story. As things stand, liberals explain poverty through insurmountable structural issues, whereas conservatives highlight personal failings and poor life choices. Both abdicate responsibility, and ignore the reality that the advantages of the rich only come at the expense of the poor. It is time better-paid citizens put themselves back in the narrative, recognizing that the depth and expanse of poverty in any nation reflects our failure to look out for one another. Poverty must ultimately be met by community: all this suffering and want is our doing, and we can undo it.

Poems and photographs from a painter whose gestural articulations and lush, textured landscapes draw comparisons to Klimt, Van Gogh and SoutineThis book comprises never before published or exhibited poetry and photography by the Canadian artist Matthew Wong (1984â “2019), whose too-brief life yielded astonishing paintings in addition to work featured here. An introduction by Wongâ ™s friend and fellow poet John Wall Barger sheds light on the genesis of the poems and the ambition in Wong to faithfully describe the wonder and desolation of an artistâ ™s inner life. John Cheim, founder of New York gallery Cheim Read and an accomplished book designer, selected the photographs and designed this volume.The institutional recognition of Matthew Wongâ ™s achievements can be gauged by his four solo exhibitions at prominent galleries in New York, two museum shows in North America and Matthew Wong | Vincent Van Gogh: Painting as a Last Resort, the artistâ ™s first European survey at the Van Gogh Museum, Amsterdam.The critical and popular appeal of Wongâ ™s paintings and drawings is considerable. Six Feet Short of the Moon is the definitive introduction to Wongâ ™s poetic and photographic artistic practice, two critical components of his creative life.

*A TIMES AND SPECTATOR BOOK OF THE YEAR* [Owolade s] argument has needed saying for years Janan Ganesh, Financial Times Compelling and admirable Sunday Times Passionate and timely Observer Excellent Telegraph Illuminating The Times Timely [and] engaging GuardianAcross the West, racial injustice has become one of the most divisive issues of our age. In the rush to address inequality and prejudice, and to understand concerns around identity, immigration and colonial history, Britain has followed the lead of the world s dominant power: America. We judge ourselves by America s standards, absorb its arguments and follow its agenda. But what if we re looking in the wrong place?This is Not America is built on the idea that black Britons are British first and foremost, and thus are likely to have more in common with other Britons than with black people in other parts of the world. It argues that too much of the conversation around race in Britain today is viewed through the prism of American ideas that don t reflect the history, challenges and achievements of increasingly diverse black populations at home. To build a long-lasting and more effective anti-racist agenda we must acknowledge that crucial differences exist between Britain and America, and that we are talking about distinct communities and cultures, distinguished by language, history, class, religion and national origin. Humane, empirical and passionate, this book provides a bold new framework for understanding race in Britain today.

In the headline-making and bestselling tradition of Bill Browder s Freezing Order comes a unique and incendiary memoir from an entrepreneur who rose to the zenith of power and money in 21st century China and whose wife was disappeared - and then mysteriously reappeared four years later on the eve of Red Roulette s publication and global media coverage about it.As Desmond Shum was growing up impoverished in China, he vowed his life would be different. Through hard work and sheer tenacity, he earned an American college degree and returned to his native country to establish himself in business. There, he met his future wife, the highly intelligent and equally ambitious Whitney Duan who was determined to make her mark within China s male-dominated society. Whitney and Desmond formed an effective team and, aided by relationships they formed with top members of China s Communist Party, the so-called Red Aristocracy, he vaulted into China s billionaire class.Soon they were developing the massive air cargo facility at Beijing International Airport, and they followed that feat with the creation of one of Beijing s premier hotels. They were dazzlingly successful, travelling in private jets, funding multi-million-dollar buildings and endowments, and purchasing expensive homes, vehicles and art. But in 2017, their fates diverged irrevocably when Desmond, while living overseas with his son, learned that his now ex-wife Whitney had vanished along with three co-workers.In this updated edition of Red Roulette Desmond Shum pulls back the curtain on China s ruling elite and reveals the real truth of what is happening inside China s wealth-making machine. This is both Desmond s story and Whitney s, because she has not been able to tell it herself.

While proudly riding his new bicycle, young Desmond is rudely insulted by some neighbourhood boys â “ and at first he responds angrily. But he s troubled to find that retaliation brings him no relief, and he can t stop thinking about the mean things the boys said to him. With the aid of the kindly Father Trevor, Desmond arrives at a better understanding of his feelings and learns that true forgiveness comes from within â “ and arises when you choose to regard all people with compassion, whether or not they say they are sorry.A beautiful tale of forgiveness, as well as a lesson about how to handle bullying and feelings of anger, embarrassment and revenge, this is a vibrantly illustrated, deeply warm-hearted story.

Audiokniha: Rozhovory a myšlenky dvou velkých mužů, držitelů Nobelovy ceny za mír, o tom, jak být šťastný v dnešním proměnlivém světě. „Pokud sám sebe vnímáte jako obyčejného člověka, jednoho ze sedmi miliard, není důvod mít pocit, že byste se měl chovat, jako byste byl někdo výjimečný. Ať už jsem s královnou nebo králem, prezidentem, premiérem či žebrákem, vždy mám na paměti, že jsme všichni stejní.“ Svět kolem nás se rychle proměňuje, jsme svědky tragédií celosvětového významu, katastrof, (nejen) osobních neštěstí, nemocí, smrti – lze vůbec v takovém světě, v takové době prožívat radostný život a nenechat strasti, aby nás pohltily? Ano, lze pracovat na tom, abychom i v tom špatném uměli najít něco, co nás posouvá dál. Lze cvičit náš přístup k sobě samým a k ostatním kolem nás. Kniha radosti zprostředkovává dlouholeté zkušenosti dvou neuvěřitelných mužů, kteří navzdory nepředstavitelně těžkým životním zkouškám zůstávají veselými, nezbednými, soucitnými, odpouštějícími a neztrácejí víru ve všechny lidské bytosti. Douglas Abrams mistrně propojil životní příběhy dvou blízkých přátel – Jeho Svatosti dalajlámy a arcibiskupa Desmonda Tutua, jejich odpovědi na otázky týkající se překážek na cestě k radosti, pokory, humoru, odpuštění, vděčnosti, soucitu, velkorysosti a mnoha dalšího s vědeckými poznatky, které se probíranou tematikou zabývají. Audiokniha provází čtenáře cestou od zaměření na já, mně, moje k zaměření na my, nám, naše. Ukazuje nám, jak se poučit z utrpení (ať už vlastního nebo utrpení kolem nás), popřípadě jak si uvědomit, že jsme součástí velkého společenství a že v ničem, co prožíváme, nikdy nejsme a nebudeme sami. Nikdo z nás nedokáže uniknout utrpení. To však neznamená, že nemůžeme prožívat radost. Netrapme se kvůli věcem, které nedokážeme změnit. „Pokud s tím lze něco udělat, jaký je důvod ke sklíčenosti? Pokud se nic dělat nedá, k čemu je být sklíčený?“ O autorech Jeho Svatost dalajláma XIV. Tändzin Gjamccho je duchovním vůdcem tibetského lidu a tibetského buddhismu. Cestuje po celém světě a propaguje laskavost a soucit, mezináboženské porozumění, respekt k životnímu prostředí a především světový mír. Je vášnivým zastáncem všeobecného a na žádnou náboženskou ideologii nevázaného přístupu k rozvoji základních lidských hodnot. Žije v exilu v indické Dharamsale. Desmond Mpilo Tutu byl emeritním arcibiskupem Kapského Města, stal se prominentním vůdcem v kampani za spravedlnost a rasové usmíření v Jižní Africe. V roce 1994 byl jmenován předsedou Jihoafrické komise pravdy a usmíření, kde propagoval novátorský způsob, jakým se může dál rozvíjet společnost v zemích, jež se zotavují z občanských konfliktů a útlaku. Byl prvním předsedou mezinárodní nevládní organizace The Elders, skupiny veřejných osobností, kteří se společně angažují za mír a lidská práva. Zemřel 26.12.2021 ve věku 90 let.

Strhujúci skutočný príbeh o bohatstve, moci a korupcií zo súčasnej Číny, ktorý označili The Economist a Financial Times za „najlepšiu knihu roku.“ Keď Desmond Shum vyrastal v chudobnej Číne sľúbil si, že jeho život bude iný. Tvrdou prácou a húževnatosťou získal americký vysokoškolský titul a vrátil sa do svojej rodnej krajiny, aby sa presadil v obchode. Tam stretol budúcu manželku, vysoko inteligentnú a rovnako ambicióznu Whitney Duan, ktorá bola odhodlaná presadiť sa v čínskej spoločnosti, v ktorej dominujú muži. Whitney a Desmond vytvorili efektívny tím a vďaka vzťahom, ktoré si vytvorili s poprednými členmi Komunistickej strany Číny, s takzvanou červenou aristokraciou, sa dostal do čínskej miliardárskej triedy. Boli oslnivo úspešní, cestovali súkromnými lietadlami, financovali budovy a nadácie v hodnote niekoľkých miliónov dolárov a kupovali drahé domy, vozidlá a umenie.V roku 2017 sa ich osudy neodvolateľne rozišli, keď sa Desmond, ktorý býval so synom po rozvode v zámorí dozvedel, že jeho teraz už bývalá manželka Whitney zmizla bez stopy spolu s tromi spolupracovníkmi.

The strengths and abilities children develop from infancy through adolescence are crucial for their physical, emotional, and cognitive growth, which in turn help them to achieve success in school and to become responsible, economically self-sufficient, and healthy adults. Capable, responsible, and healthy adults are clearly the foundation of a well-functioning and prosperous society, yet America s future is not as secure as it could be because millions of American children live in families with incomes below the poverty line. A wealth of evidence suggests that a lack of adequate economic resources for families with children compromises these children s ability to grow and achieve adult success, hurting them and the broader society. A Roadmap to Reducing Child Poverty reviews the research on linkages between child poverty and child well-being, and analyzes the poverty-reducing effects of major assistance programs directed at children and families. This report also provides policy and program recommendations for reducing the number of children living in poverty in the United States by half within 10 years.

A Theology of Matthew s Gospel develops the perspective that Matthew wrote his Gospel to identify, defend, and proclaim Jesus Immanuel, God with us, as the Davidic Messiah who fulfilled the OT expectations of humanity s redemption. Matthew s Gospel establishes Jesus s identity as the heir to the promises of Israel s throne through king David, and heir to the promises of blessing to all the nations through the patriarch Abraham (1:1). So, this first Gospel offers evangelistic hope in Jesus s message of the gospel to Jews, contending that they should turn to Jesus as their long-awaited Messiah (Matt 11:2-6). But, strikingly, Matthew s Gospel also offers evangelistic hope to Gentiles, emphasizing that salvation through Jesus Messiah is available to all the nations (28:19).The book emphasizes the three horizons that comprise Matthew s gospel: history, theology, and literature. The first horizon focuses on Jesus s historical ministry. Here Matthew provides for us a record of God s activities in history in the arrival of Jesus Messiah and the kingdom of heaven. The second horizon develops Matthew s theological perspective for his audience(s). Here we attempt to understand and isolate Matthew s unique theological perspective of God s activities in Jesus Messiah. This is a central focus, emphasizing Matthew s theological perspective of the Old Testament, Christology, the kingdom of heaven, discipleship, the Church/church, Israel (past, present, and future), the death and resurrection of Jesus, mission/commission, and eschatology/eternity. The third horizon emphasizes today s reader(s) engaging with Matthew s Gospel as literature. Here we attempt to capture the significance of the perspective of today s reader s understanding of Jesus Messiah s activities in history and Matthew s theological perspective for the contemporary church.In this book we view Matthew s perspective of God s activities in Jesus s unfolding earthly ministry. The alternating sections of narrative and discourse provide for his readers Jesus s example to follow and Jesus s words to obey. Therefore, Matthew s Gospel is at least in part a manual on discipleship to Jesus Messiah in the kingdom of heaven. In the six Narratives, Matthew reveals Jesus s true identity in his deeds, and introduces themes that will lead to instructions to Jesus s disciples in the Discourses. The six Narratives provide the example that Jesus s disciples are commanded to obey. In the five Discourses, Matthew records Jesus s instructions, commands, parables, directives and prophecies that will guide his followers in their discipleship to Jesus until the end of the age. Combined, the narratives of Jesus s life provide Jesus s example to follow, and the discourses give Jesus s instructions to obey, and are the basis of our ongoing transformation to become like Jesus.

The Book of Forgiving, written together by the Nobel Peace Laureate Archbishop Desmond Tutu, and his daughter Revd Mpho Tutu, offers a deeply personal testament and guide to the process of forgiveness.All of us have at times needed both to forgive and be forgiven â “ whether small, everyday harms or real traumas. But the path to forgiveness is not easy, and the process unclear. How do we let go of resentment when we have been harmed, at times irreparably? How do we forgive and still pursue justice? How do we heal our hearts, and move on? How do we forgive ourselves for the harm we have caused others?Drawing on his memories of reconciliation in post-apartheid South Africa, Archbishop Desmond Tutu has identified four concrete steps to forgiveness through which we must all pass if we are to reach our destination:1) Admitting the wrong and acknowledging the harm2) Telling oneâ ™s story and witnessing the anguish3) Asking for forgiveness and granting forgiveness4) Renewing or releasing the relationshipEach chapter contains reflections and personal stories, as well as exercises for practising each step of the path. The Book of Forgiving is a touchstone and tool for anyone seeking the freedom of forgiveness: an inspiring guide to healing ourselves and creating a more united world.

A concise compendium of the lives and work of the 101 most significant Surrealists by one of the last surviving members of the movement, bestselling author and artist Desmond Morris, who knew several of the key participants personally. 2024 marks the centenary of Surrealism, one of the most influential artistic movements of the modern era. In 1924, André Breton wrote the Surrealist Manifesto, a call to arms which established Surrealism as a literary and artistic movement.Rather than attempting to analyse the work of the Surrealists, bestselling author and Surrealist artist Desmond Morris focuses on them as remarkable individuals. What were their personalities, their predilections, their character strengths and flaws? Did they enjoy a social life or were they loners? Were they bold eccentrics or timid recluses? Featuring 101 artists, from the famous – Duchamp, Dali, Magritte, Miro, Carrington, Kahlo, Picabia, Ernst and others – to the neglected – Mesens, Rimmington, Sage, Fini, Bellmer, Colquhoun and Gonzalez – this book draws on the author’s personal knowledge of the Surrealists, capturing in concise form their life histories, idiosyncrasies and often-complex love lives. Surrealism was both spectacular and international, shaped by the darkest, most irrational workings of the unconscious.Shocking, witty and always entertaining, Morris s potted summaries and punchy anecdotes illuminate striking variations in artistic approach to the Surrealist philosophy, both in the artists’ works and lives. A complement to Morris s earlier biographical volumes, 101 Surrealists encapsulates each artist in new and abridged texts that convey with immediacy the impact and significance of each of the 101 artists featured.

Edited by John Allen, a journalist and former aide of the Archbishop, God is Not a Christian reveals Archbishop Desmond Tutu in his own words.

Sovy nejsou takové, jaké se zdají. Proplétají se lidskou kulturou, od starodávného Babylonu přes Sovu a kočku Edwarda Leara, nabubřelou roztržitou Sovu z Medvídka Pú až po Hedviku z Harryho Pottera. Povahu těchto nádherných, tichých a nemilosrdných predátorů vnímáme jako protiklad mezi dobrem a zlem. Jsou to enigmatická stvoření, jejichž přítomnost stěží zaznamenáme. Desmond Morris v této fascinující knize objevuje přírodní a kulturní dějiny sov z celého světa, neboť s výjimkou Antarktidy se tito ptáci nachází na všech kontinentech. Popisuje, jak se sovy vyvinuly do mnoha druhů, od drobného 14 centimetrového kulíška trpasličího až po výra velkého, který měří více než 70 centimetrů. Právě proto, že jsou celosvětově hojně rozšířené, objevují se v pověstech, mýtech a legendách mnoha původních a domorodých obyvatel. Morris tyto příběhy vysvětluje a interpretuje, ale také se zabývá příklady sov v umění, f ilmu a v literatuře. Autor ve svém poutavém vyprávění dokazuje, že sovy jsou v naší kultuře stále přítomny. Desmond Morris je uznávaný autor a moderátor žijící v Oxfordu, jehož dílo zahrnuje tituly: Nahá opice, Lidská zoo a Lidský živočich. Kniha obsahuje 123 obrázků, z nichž 91 je barevných.

The Gospel of Matthew, like the other Gospels, is a story. The narrative nature of Matthew s account of the life of Jesus unfolds as a plotted sequence of words and events, beginning with his birth and closing with his presence to the disciples as their risen Lord. The location of any single passage within the flow of the unfolding story is a major guide to understanding this Gospel. Matthew is best known for his account of the birth of Jesus (Matt 1â ”2); Peter s recognition of Jesus as the Son of Man, the Son of God (16:13â “20); and the final commission of all the disciples to preach the gospel to all nations (28:16â “28). But where do these famous passages appear in the story? What preceded them and what follows? The first Gospel famously highlights five major discourses, during which only Jesus speaks. How do they contribute to Matthew s story of the life of Jesus?The Shape of Matthew s Story focuses upon the temporal and geographical flow of the unfolding narrative, and the interacting roles of the protagonists within it. It traces an early Christian storyteller s single-minded presentation of God, Jesus Christ, the call to discipleship, and the Christian Church.Endorsements: Throughout his long and productive career, Fr. Francis Moloney has published many works of serious scholarship along with books that address the general public. His ability to speak clearly and intelligently on both levels, often at the same time, is truly remarkable. The Shape of Matthew s Story is a prime example of his making academic research available to the educated laity. â ”John P. Meier, University of Notre Dame In typical Moloney fashion, The Shape of Matthew s Story delivers an accessible, insightful, and lucid introduction to the first Gospel. Students and clergy alike will benefit from Moloney s careful attention to the narrative, historical, and theological concerns of the text. â ”Kelly Iverson, Baylor University Employing considerable skills as narrative critic, Francis Moloney offers a compelling account of Matthew s story of the Messiah, from birth to death and beyond. With Moloney as reliable guide, Matthew s complex yet profound narrative emerges from the page, inviting the reader into a community of disciples that is taught by Jesus. â ”Ian Boxall, University of OxfordFrancis J. Moloney, SDB, is a graduate of the Pontifical Biblical Institute and the University of Oxford. He was Dean of the School of Theology and Religious Studies and Professor of New Testament at the Catholic University of America (1999â “2005). Now in semi-retirement, he is a senior professorial fellow of Catholic Theological College, within the University of Divinity, Melbourne, Australia.â

The use of participatory research techniques to provide policy-makers with information about poor people s perspectives on poverty became increasingly common in the 1990s. This book focuses on the use of participatory research in poverty reduction policies, and presents a series of participants reflections on recent and ongoing processes. The 1990s witnessed a shift in the application of participatory methodologies, adding to the project planning approaches of the 1980s a new focus on participatory research for policy. Much of this centres on poverty issues. In this volume, contributions from researchers and practitioners in the field of poverty reduction examine how participatory research has affected the way poverty is understood, and how these understandings have been acted on in policy-making for poverty reduction. Coming from diverse backgrounds, the authors critical reflections feature various aspects of the relationship between participation and policy, spanning different levels, from the individual researcher to the global institution. They address technical, ethical, operational, political and methodological problems. Through raising their concerns, they highlight lessons to be learnt from current practice, and challenges for the future. These include the balancing of knowledge, action and consciousness in participatory research processes which can effectively influence the development of policy that reflects and responds to the needs and priorities of poor people.

Discovered after more than 40 years, a vintage action-adventure novel set on Domino Island ⠓ a Caribbean paradise toppling under murder, corruption and organised crime⠦⠘Like a dream come true ⠓ an undiscovered Desmond Bagley novel ⠦ and it⠙s a great one!⠙ LEE CHILDBill Kemp, an ex-serviceman working in London as an insurance investigator, is sent to the Caribbean to determine the legitimacy of an expensive life insurance claim following the inexplicable death of businessman David Salton. His rapidly inflated premiums immediately before his death stand to make his young widow a very rich lady! Once there, Kemp discovers that Salton⠙s political ambitions had made him a lot of enemies, and local tensions around a forthcoming election are already spilling over into protest and violence on the streets. Salton also had friends in unexpected places, including the impossibly beautiful Leotta Tomsson, to whom there is much more than meets the eye. Kemp realises that Salton⠙s death and the local unrest are a deliberate smokescreen for an altogether more ambitious plot by an enemy in their midst, and as the island comes under siege, even Kemp⠙s army training seems feeble in the face of such a determined foe.Unseen for more than 40 years and believed lost, Domino Island was accepted for publication in 1972 but then replaced by a different novel to coincide with the release of The Mackintosh Man, the Paul Newman film based on Bagley⠙s earlier novel The Freedom Trap. It is a classic Bagley tour de force with an all-action finale.

A beautifully illustrated exploration of the artistic and personal connections between Matthew Wong (1984–2019) and Vincent van Gogh. Shortly before his early death, the Chinese-Canadian artist Matthew Wong (1984–2019) emerged as a phenomenon. He started drawing and painting in 2011, at the age of 27, and within the space of just a few years had developed a highly personal style, using intense colours to paint imaginative landscapes.Wong’s expressively lyrical works were inspired by both traditional Chinese painting and Western art. He was especially influenced by Vincent van Gogh (1853–1890), not only in terms of his painting style and choice of motifs, but also in some aspects of his life. Both artists were self-taught, acquiring their drawing and painting skills without tuition, and both faced mental health issues.Wong saw his own life reflected in that of Van Gogh, and once said: ‘I see myself in him. The impossibility of belonging in this world.’ Published to accompany the exhibition at the Van Gogh Museum, Amsterdam, this book explores the artistic and personal connection between the two artists, bringing around 45 paintings and drawings by Wong into dialogue with a group of Van Gogh masterpieces. Kenny Schachter, who knew Matthew Wong, contributes a personal introduction, which is followed by essays exploring the artists’ biographical and artistic kinship.

The current publication by author Vojtěch Pokorný takes as its subject not only the history of the oldest Christian sacred building in the Prague neighbourhood of Dejvice, but equally the past of the locality itself, starting from its first known settlement in late Neolithic times up to the present. Using a wide range of literature and sources, the author presents a truthful account of the oft-mythicised tales of the earliest traces of human presence in Upper Šárka and the founding of the church consecrated to St. Matthew, and in chronological succession relates the events transpiring there across the following centuries. Research into archival materials and other sources provided the basis for an imposing text that casts light on a history now nearly forgotten. The author unfolds previously neglected topics and opens the curtain for new awareness of our ancestors against the large-scale history of the Czech lands. Though undoubtedly a scholarly text, the book is nonetheless conceived as readable even for the wider public. Among other findings, the reader learns of the origins and gradual expansion of the famous St. Matthew s Fair - until only the recent past, associated with St. Matthew s Church itself. No less intriguing themes addressed are the church s famous gingerbread Nativity scene, or the depictions of the church by various artists. The text was reviewed by four professional historians, each addressing the relevant epoch of scholarly expertise - prehistory, medieval times, the Baroque era, and modernity. The publication is illustrated with a wealth of archival and contemporary photographs, historic engravings and maps, all capturing and enlivening the sacred structure and site that is its central theme Kniha autora Vojtěcha Pokorného pojednává nejen o dějinách nejstarší křesťanské svatyně v pražských Dejvicích, ale i o minulosti lokality samotné, počínaje prvním osídlením v pozdní době kamenné až po současnost. Autor uvádí pomocí bohatého poznámkového aparátu na pravou míru mýty o nejstarších stopách lidské činnosti na Horní Šárce a o vzniku kostelíka sv. Matěje a navazuje v chronologickém sledu líčením zdejších událostí v následujících staletích.Výzkum dobových archiválií a dalších pramenů dal vzniknout monolitnímu textu, který osvětluje dnes již téměř zapomenutou historii. Autor předkládá doposud nezpracované téma a otevírá nová poznání o našich předcích na pozadí velkých dějin českých zemí.
