We Say No Chronicles 1963 To 1991 by Eduardo Galeano Pdf

The title of We Say No is drawn from a speech delivered by Eduardo Galeano in support of democracy in Chile in 1988. It eloquently states the case that by saying no to a global system of greed, repression, and exploitation one says yes to the universal values of equality, freedom, and love. All of the thirty-four pieces that comprise this book affirm the elemental struggle of the forgotten and the dispossessed for simple human dignity. From vivid portraits of the "last emperor" Pu Yi, Pele, and Che Guevara to a defense of the political nature of the literary enterprise in Latin America to stinging critiques of the end-of-history thesis and the "celebrations" of Columbus's voyages of discovery (and conquest) to the genesis of Memory of Fire, the pieces in We Say No are united by Galeano's unique ability to blend stirring political commitment, a magical literary facility and a large historical imagination into a seamless web. The result is a volume indispensable to the growing legion of Galeano's American readers and to all concerned with the issues of peace and justice in the Americas and, indeed, in the entire post-Cold War world.

We Say NO! by H. R. L. Sheppard Pdf

"In 1934, Anglican priest H. R. L (""Dick"") Sheppard challenged young men in England to pledge to ""say NO!"" to participation in future wars. The response to his call was so overwhelmingly enthusiastic that the next year Sheppard published We Say NO! The Plain Man's Guide to Pacifism and founded the Peace Pledge Union, a pacifist organization that's still going strong in Britain today. His book, a best-seller during his lifetime, has become a classic in Christian pacifism. It contains the fundamentals of Sheppard's call for a Christian response to violence that remains loyal to the ""constructively revolutionary"" spirit of Jesus. Sheppard's commitment to the gospel of nonviolence made him slightly disreputable within the Church of England but earned him a lasting place among twentieth-century champions of pacifism. This new edition of We Say NO!, completely annotated and prefaced with an introduction that provides detailed information about Sheppard and the peace movement he launched, aims to present his case for Christian pacifism to a new generation.

The Power of a Positive No by William Ury Pdf

“William Ury brings a marvelous blend of experience, insight, integrity and warmth to his work. In this wonderful book he teaches us how to say No—with grace and effect—so that we might create an even better Yes.” —Jim Collins, author of Good to Great No is perhaps the most important and certainly the most powerful word in the language. Every day we find ourselves in situations where we need to say No–to people at work, at home, and in our communities–because No is the word we must use to protect ourselves and to stand up for everything and everyone that matters to us. But as we all know, the wrong No can also destroy what we most value by alienating and angering people. That’s why saying No the right way is crucial. The secret to saying No without destroying relationships lies in the art of the Positive No, a proven technique that anyone can learn. This indispensable book gives you a simple three-step method for saying a Positive No. It will show you how to assert and defend your key interests; how to make your No firm and strong; how to resist the other side’s aggression and manipulation; and how to do all this while still getting to Yes. In the end, the Positive No will help you get not just to any Yes but to the right Yes, the one that truly serves your interests. Based on William Ury’s celebrated Harvard University course for managers and professionals, The Power of a Positive No offers concrete advice and practical examples for saying No in virtually any situation. Whether you need to say No to your customer or your coworker, your employee or your CEO, your child or your spouse, you will find in this book the secret to saying No clearly, respectfully, and effectively. In today’s world of high stress and limitless choices, the pressure to give in and say Yes grows greater every day, producing overload and overwork, expanding e-mail and eroding ethics. Never has No been more needed. A Positive No has the power to profoundly transform our lives by enabling us to say Yes to what counts–our own needs, values, and priorities. Understood this way, No is the new Yes. And the Positive No may be the most valuable life skill you’ll ever learn.

"SAY NO" by George Whatley Pdf

The story is set on the high seas where a gas tanker is high-jacked by terrorist under the control of the Senate, who put it on tow to a high-jacked cruise liner, which is used as a human shield. The terrorists want to sail the convoy to New York harbor and blow it up, causing devastation in an act of revenge. The only chance for Jeff and his friends have for saving themselves is if the passengers take back the two ships before they reach American waters; otherwise, the Americans will blow the gas tanker up, killing all the passengers. The main action takes place off Sable Island near Nova Scotia, the notorious area known as the Atlantic graveyard, where history will tell there has been the loss of over three hundred ships. The flashback of when Jeff first came in contact with the deadly Senate, he was a well-known local environmentalist and was wanted for terrorist crimes he did not commit. The only way he can prove his innocence and stay alive is by pretending to be dead, return to a devastated Estuary area, search for his family and the truth. The evidence of corruption he finds that threatens to destabilize the government must be exposed at all costs Jeff is hunted by a professional killer of the Senate called Wilson, who must destroy him and the evidence before Jeff can expose it. In this part of the story, the action is set against a background of the aftermath of an explosion of biblical proportions at a gas terminal in the Estuary. The thought-provoking reality is that it could happen for real, and the establishment knows it, and they have to plan for the worst-case scenario.
