“Plants are bulwarks against climate change and the devastating tsunami of the Anthropocene. In his new book, Matt has produced a Bildungsroman mapping not just his journey, but that so many of us have taken to redefine the dynamic of Plant, People and Planet. It’s an irresistible read.”  —Panayoti Kelaidis, senior curator and director of outreach at Denver Botanic Gardens  “For many of us, plants serve as a kind of quiet backdrop to the world's more compelling biological dramas. Ecologist Matt Candeia shows just how much we're missing. With wonder and an infectious enthusiasm, he takes readers on a thrilling botanical journey. His book is not merely an impassioned defense of plants, but a full-throated celebration of them.”  —Eric Wagner, author of After the Blast: The Ecological Recovery of Mount St. Helens  “...the whole adventure this vibrant book offers is illuminated by the author’s own eyes-wide-open sense of wonder at the exquisite beauty and stimulating complexity of the natural world.”  —Paddy Woodworth, author of Our Once and Future Planet, University of Chicago Press  “Through his curiosity and intense passion for the natural world, Matt Candeias has neatly constructed in this book a condensation of what it feels to be the consummate plantsperson. Through this writing, as well as through his weekly podcasts, I find myself absorbed by his veneration for the magic and majesty of the floral kingdom in a manner so few are so able to achieve.”  —Daniel J Hinkley, director emeritus of the Heronswood Garden  “[In Defense of Plants] does a masterful job of bringing in a variety of important and fascinating ecological topics from restoration to biodiversity, and even gets into the weeds on issues such as pollination ecology, mycorrhiza, and plant-animal interactions.”  —Dennis Whigham, senior botanist and founding director of the North American Orchid Conservation Center  “A wonderfully eloquent defense of our fine botanical friends, indeed—authoritative, compelling, and passionate, Matt Candeias succeeds in evoking the wonder of plants with wit and wisdom.”  —James T. Costa, PhD, executive director of the Highlands Biological Station and author of Darwin's Backyard: How Small Experiments Led to a Big Theory“This book is an unapologetic celebration of the wonder of plants. And, no matter how many books about plants I’ve read, there were lots of facts that were new to me in Candeias’ book.”  —Botany One

In Defense of Plants

"In SPEECH, both kinds are deconstructed, speeches throughout history are woven in and reflected upon, speech as a given, as a 'right,' is pushed against as an assumption, speech of the powerful versus those marked invisible, speech of different kinds: written, verbal, animal and sonic gestures are all carefully considered in this wide torrent of investigatory lyric."—Jennifer Firestone, Tarpaulin Sky



"The poems reach through conflict, crises and trauma for solutions but hold no solutions but the obvious, that we should be better to each other, and for each other. Why aren’t more readers listening?"—rob mclennan, rob mclennan's blog



"Magi deftly explains how race, class, sex and sexuality are ranked in our world’s radical system, at once tough and fragile. Her words invite us to reach up to the glass ceiling, knock on it, and consider carefully what doors open for us."—Bethany Mary, VAGABOND CITY



"It is unsurprising to learn that Magi is also a weaver, knitter, and sewer. You feel this quality in the way her impossible citizen walks—or, better yet, weaves—through the city, pulling its various histories and injuries into this text. A true cosmopolitan may, perhaps, be a loom. Maybe Magi’s impossible citizen isn’t not possible, but rather, her ways are unrecognized. Her manner is to create."—Samantha Neugebauer, Ploughshares



"Reading Jill Magi’s newest poetry collection SPEECH is like going for a walk inside someone else’s dream…SPEECH is not just a cognitive mapping of a Middle Eastern city, but the unveiling of how one ingests a physical space and attempts to produce a poetic response—a simple act of speech."—Hunter Augeri, The Carolina Quarterly



"Whether on paper or textiles, Magi’s writing has always been in touch with its being an image, or to be more precise, deeply in touch with its potential to move in and out of being an image. When I say 'being in touch' I mean the touch part literally—the hand stitching words into belabored embroidery. SPEECH again makes visible its process of passing words through the body; this time, it is a moving body, 'walking along with the others' whose movements stitch curves and diagonal embellishments on the surfaces of 'two cities of middles:' Middle America and the Middle East. Magi is an incomparable guide to these in-between spaces, to 'the gap [that] is never silent' between words and images, manual and intellectual labor, citizen and guest-worker, guest and host."—Cristina Vatulescu



"SPEECH is reflection, part-history, mined with precision and care. It is research/commentary: about hope, dread, life! SPEECH is language, what cities and paperwork have turned people into, what simmers beneath. Ultimately, SPEECH is Magi: sleuth, seeker, writer, walker."—Deepak Unnikrishnan



"Jill Magi’s timely and politically engaged poem, SPEECH, ruptures social dependence on coherent structures of understanding and organization toward more ethical figurations. In language that is unsparing, relentless, and precise, Magi carves an experimental trajectory, touching along the way: the violence of classism, racism, sexism, xenophobia; the brutality of environmental exploitation; the excruciating trap of poverty; the intolerable sorrow of exile and migration; the fraught question of citizenship. Magi slides seamlessly between temporalities and geographies; this collection could refer as much to a stratified United Arab Emirates as to a divided United States. It is in the smudged borders, in the third spaces, as Magi discloses, that potential freedom, agency, community, and overlooked beauty reside. SPEECH takes us there, and we are relieved to discover that such a space may indeed exist, if only, for the moment, in words floating down like feathers, with the promise of a future materialization." —Mai Al-Nakib



"The 'impossible citizen' of Jill Magi’s latest book circulates through border checkpoints, through nation-states, through invisibility and 'speech removal,' ultimately becoming a figure that carries and is carried by global continuums of neoliberal violences: continuums of violence that allow us to see how all the countries are terrible in ways that both erase and amplify specificity. How language generates meaning and meaninglessness is at the heart of Magi’s stateless poetics, which radically interrogates discourses of public and private, of race pitted against class, of how we live with the erosion of social services and the public sector, among other ideas. Magi’s SPEECH asserts that poetry ought to ask the question of how we survive amid the brutalities of nationalism and its rhetorics, of how we survive in a world that is always on fire."—Daniel Borzutzky

From the article 'Sticks and Stones' in The Economist, titled 'The polarisation of politics has led to a new lexicon of insults' in the online edition. 'A watershed moment has arrived: traditional taboo words, pertaining to the body and excrement, no longer have the punch of group-based insults related to sex, disabilities and other such qualities, about which Western societies are increasingly sensitive. (Race-based gibes have been anathema for a while.)'The evolution of insults is the subject of Philip Gooden's new book, Bad Words. He recounts in one neat reversal the turn in the history of invective. The Sun, a British tabloid, was once in the habit of outing gay people, and even publicly defended its use of "poof" in doing so (because, the paper argued, its readers used the word, too). How times change. After abandoning the practice of outing in 1998, in 2018 the paper led a campaign to track down a bus-driver who called a reality-show star a "poofter". What it once considered lighthearted banter is now verboten homophobia.'

This book should be read by every leader who is interested in building an enduring business over merely maximizing current revenues. Morgan provides a set of guiding principles and provocative thinking that is valuable to that process. While written for leaders of closely-held manufacturing companies, its ideas provide amazing insights to leaders of all businesses.
-- Marshall Goldsmith, Thinkers 50, #1 Executive Coach and only two-time #1 Leadership Thinker in the world


My family company is celebrating its 100th year. The world a century ago was very different than it is today and to endure and thrive we had to adjust and change over time. The need to, and the how to, evolve a business is not always intuitive – but it is necessary to withstand the test of time. Rebecca Morgan has brought years of hands-on experience together into a resource that breaks down the iterative process into manageable and logical steps so it is not necessary to rely on intuition.

A realistic book – I couldn’t stop reading. It cuts to the heart to explain why manufacturers need to ask the question "how" constant evolution of social, physiological, and political landscape could shape their market dominance or spell doom if largely ignored. It explains how short-term profit maximization mindset could largely undermine the arena of social dynamics and human relationship thereby leading to disenfranchising the organizations core vision, mission, and values forever. If you want to stay relevant, then read this book.

"It is not always the case that Festschriften, indeed retrospectives of any sort, form coherent works, since scholarly interests across an entire career are often diverse. It is therefore a perennial challenge to bring these interests together into a single, readable volume while doing justice to the career being celebrated. The present collection of essays in honor of John Riches suffers from no defect on that score. It comprises twelve essays, with an afterword by Prof. Riches. Contributions are grouped into two sections. The first concerns the themes of grace, freedom, law, and human agency in the literature of the New Testament, with an emphasis upon Paul. The second addresses the question of the reception of these themes historically, in an African setting, and in recent Christian theology. Those familiar with Prof. Riches's work will recognize these themes, and these settings, as ones to which he often returned. They will also recognize the present volume as a suitable tribute to a productive and highly respected scholar and an appropriate contribution to these fields of study." -- Michael J.
