Limbo

Blue-Collar Roots, White-Collar Dreams

By: Alfred Lubrano

In Limbo, award-winning journalist Alfred Lubrano identifies and describes an overlooked cultural phenomenon: the internal conflict within individuals raised in blue-collar homes, now living white-collar lives. These people often find that the values of the working class are not sufficient guidance to navigate the white-collar world, where unspoken rules reflect primarily upper-class values. Torn between the world they were raised in and the life they aspire too, they hover between worlds, not quite accepted in either. Himself the son of a Brooklyn bricklayer, Lubrano informs his account with personal experience and interviews with other professionals living in limbo. For millions of Americans, these stories will serve as familiar reminders of the struggles of achieving the American Dream.

COVID-19 Pandemic and the Lessons It Has Taught Us

By: Opoku Onyinah,Alfred Koduah

Written by an array of seasoned Christian leaders, theologians and academics, this book captures the various aspects of the COVID-19 pandemic with the view of drawing lessons for the future. It examines the pandemic from historical, biblical, theological, medical, psychological, socio- cultural, political, economic, educational as well as mission and evangelistic perspectives. It also discusses the impact of the pandemic on Africans in the diaspora, family life, church administration, and the youth. The book makes several recommendations on how the church must reposition itself in the post-COVID-19 era to enable it to maintain and expand its missional activities without compromising the core values of the Christian faith.

Stalin as Warlord

By: Alfred J. Rieber

An authoritative account of Stalin as a wartime leader--showing how his paradoxical policies of mass mobilization and repression affected all aspects of Soviet society "A superb new history. . . . Rieber analyses with clarity the impact of the war."--Wendy Slater, Times Literary Supplement The Second World War was the defining moment in the history of the Soviet Union. With Stalin at the helm, it emerged victorious at a huge economic and human cost. But even before the fighting had ended, Stalin began to turn against the architects of success. In this original and comprehensive study, Alfred J. Rieber examines Stalin as a wartime leader, arguing that his policies were profoundly paradoxical. In preparation for the war, Stalin mobilized the whole of Soviet society in pursuit of his military goals and intensified the centralization of his power. Yet at the same time, his use of terror weakened the forces vital to the defense of the country. In his efforts to rebuild the country after the devastating losses and destruction, he suppressed groups that had contributed immeasurably to victory. His steady, ruthless leadership cultivated a legacy that was to burden the Soviet Union and Russia to the present day.

Informational Society

An economic theory of discovery, invention and innovation

By: Alfred L. Norman

Society continually promotes and adjusts to technological change. While mainstream economic thought assumes tastes and technology as given, it has had little to say about how society has promoted and adjusted to technological change. The book presents a utopian design for society in the 21st century whose purpose is to promote discovery, invention and innovation, which have become the principal aspects of national state competition.
