A New York Times Bestseller "A rich portrait of the urban poor, drawn not from statistics but from vivid tales of their lives and his, and how they intertwined." —The Economist "A sensitive, sympathetic, unpatronizing portrayal of lives that are ususally ignored or lumped into ill-defined stereotype." —Finanical Times Foreword by Stephen J. Dubner, coauthor of Freakonomics When first-year graduate student Sudhir Venkatesh walked into an abandoned building in one of Chicago’s most notorious housing projects, he hoped to find a few people willing to take a multiple-choice survey on urban poverty--and impress his professors with his boldness. He never imagined that as a result of this assignment he would befriend a gang leader named JT and spend the better part of a decade embedded inside the projects under JT’s protection. From a privileged position of unprecedented access, Venkatesh observed JT and the rest of his gang as they operated their crack-selling business, made peace with their neighbors, evaded the law, and rose up or fell within the ranks of the gang’s complex hierarchical structure. Examining the morally ambiguous, highly intricate, and often corrupt struggle to survive in an urban war zone, Gang Leader for a Day also tells the story of the complicated friendship that develops between Venkatesh and JT--two young and ambitious men a universe apart. Sudhir Venkatesh’s latest book Floating City: A Rogue Sociologist Lost and Found in New York’s Underground Economy—a memoir of sociological investigation revealing the true face of America’s most diverse city—is also published by Penguin Press.

It's Time to Take Your PD ROGUE! Known and dreaded by most educators, professional development is often viewed as one more item to tick off the list of obligations that's not necessarily useful or meaningful to teachers. But it doesn't have to be that way! As Czyz argues, "pursuing learning and professional development is the single most important action we can take to hone our craft as educators." In Rogue Leader, Czyz offers the READI method (relevance, embeddedness, alignment, design, and impact) to assess and improve PD programs. He also offers smart principles and practical advice to jumpstart the practice of professional learning at your institution, building on the ideas introduced in his revolutionary Four O'Clock Faculty. Prepare to go ROGUE! Endorsements "With all of the challenges facing schools today, it's more important than ever for educators to keep learning, growing, and adapting. In ROGUE Leader, Rich Czyz presents even more fantastic ideas and resources for making professional development meaningful and engaging." -Dr. David Geurin, author of Future Driven: Will Your Students Thrive in an Unpredictable World? "ROGUE Leader is a must-read for leaders who want explicit guidance about how to create differentiated, purposeful professional development and engage teachers and staff members in unconventional ways." -Pamela Hernandez, NJ Visionary Principal of the Year 2019 "Rich Czyz shares his wisdom, humor, and experiences, cleverly designed as the blueprint for you to take control of your own PD destiny. Czyz will inspire you to create a meaningful change in your professional learning by going ROGUE and charting your own course." -Barbara Bray, speaker, podcast host, and author of Define Your Why

Full Index. I join Maria Cristina Azcona in offering this collection of viewpoints on peace making. She and I joined Ernest Kahan in 2014 to establish the Worldwide Peace Organization in Argentina. Here we identify a startling variety of facets on the crystal which represents peace. Virtually everyone claims to want world peace. Only a few take measures to promote it. Each writer who seeks peace suggests a unique dimension.
