Cities And The Creative Class - In his compelling follow-up to The Rise of the Creative Class, Richard Florida outlines how certain cities succeed in attracting members of the "creative class"--the millions of people who work in information-age economic sectors and in industries driven by innovation and talent. Cities that succeed, Florida argues, are those that are able to attract and retain creative class members. They don't do this through the traditional strategies of tax incentives, suburban housing developments, and loose regulation, though; creative class members don't care about those details. Rather, they care about amenities and tolerance, and are drawn to cities with thriving bohemias and large gay populations. It is no coincidence, Florida asserts, that places likes Austin and San Francisco with their highly publicized open-mindedness and bohemia are at the forefront of the new economy, while cities like Detroit, in contrast, can't succeed unless they actively become a magnet for the creative class. $90.00 Kickoff to Danger [More social]

The Mind of a Terrorist Fundamentalist - How can people do such things? What sort of human beings could coldly plan, organize and execute such horrific actions?

Stephen Morgan argues for a fresh perspective on this gruesome, but unique phenomenon. He stresses that we are better placed to undermine and eradicate the threat from terrorism, if we understand that we are dealing with cults, cults of terror, cults of death. He explains the psychopathology of the individuals involved from the civilian supporters through to the "lieutenants of death" and the terrorist leaders like Osama bin Laden. Stephen explains how the mechanisms of the terrorist camps, in places like Afghanistan, take youth and mould them into human missiles through processes of cult brainwashing and mind control.
