Colin Ward was een invloedrijke Britse anarchist en auteur wiens werk zich richtte op niet-hiërarchische vormen van sociale organisatie en op het oplossen van huisvestings- en planningsproblemen met anarchistische principes. Hij hield zich voornamelijk bezig met thema's als zelfhulp-huisvesting, informele nederzettingen en kritiek op overmatige planningsregels. Ward bepleitte een flexibelere benadering van huisvesting, waardoor mensen hun eigen huizen geleidelijk en in kleinere eenheden konden bouwen, geïnspireerd door architectonische systemen zoals dat van Walter Segal. Zijn visie was gericht op het afschaffen van autoritaire structuren en het vervangen daarvan door zelfbesturende, gedecentraliseerde gemeenschappen, waar bureaucratische tendensen de minste kans kregen om zich te ontwikkelen.

Shed all the tears for one-hundred more years,but our compass is now moral-rotten.How dare we proclaim each year just the samewhen each war says we’ve all long forgotten?Silhouette in the Sunset has been created in tribute to the 100th year anniversary of the end of World War One. It is an unashamed pacifist voice throughout, written from a philosophical, social, political, and personal perspective.I hope to have captured a range of expression through rhythm, form, language and imagery, raising more questions than ever attempting to offer answers or solutions. Perhaps one major theme is how it seems increasingly difficult in this morally fractured world to truly differentiate between friend and foe.
The argument of this book is that an anarchist society, a society which organises itself without authority, is always in existence. Through a wide-ranging analysis - drawing on examples from education, urban planning, welfare, housing, the environment, the workplace, and the family, to name but a few - Colin Ward demonstrates that the roots of anarchist practice are not so alien or quixotic as they might at first seem but lie precisely in the ways that people have always tended to organise themselves when left alone to do so.
An account of life on the terraces in the 1970s and 80s, this book is an inside story of a football fan.

The collection of essays delves into the history of informal housing movements, exploring the lives of squatters, cotters, plotlanders, travellers, and settlers. It also examines the significance of water and the concept of the gift relationship, alongside contemporary anarchism. Ward's work stands out for its practical application of anarchist principles, showcasing how these ideas manifest in everyday life and societal structures.
What do anarchists want? Can anarchy ever function effectively as a political
force? Is anarchism more 'organized' and 'reasonable' than is currently
perceived? Colin Ward explains what anarchism means and who anarchists are in
this illuminating and accessible introduction to the subject.

Focus on Writing is an academic writing program that provides students with
essential tools to master not only the key steps in the writing process, but
also the grammatical structures, lexical knowledge, and rhetorical modes
essential for academic writing.This five-level series progresses with students
as they grow in confidence and ability from sentence level (Book 1) through
paragraphs (Books 13) and essays (Books 35). Each unit leads writers step-by-
step through the process of prewriting, writing a first draft, revising, and
editing before producing a final draft. Not only do students write an entire
paragraph or essay in each unit, they are also given plenty of practice at the
sentence and word levels. Features:Each unit teaches students how to use one
or more common organizational structures: narrative, description, opinion,
persuasion, compare-contrast, problem-solution, and cause-effect. High-
interest readings and a choice of writing assignments provide a springboard
for students writing. Grammar presentation and practice correlated to Focus on
Grammar make the connection between grammar and writing clear. Building Word
Knowledge mini-lessons and exercises teach students how to use word forms,
collocations, idioms, compounds, descriptive details, phrasal verbs and other
types of vocabulary in their writing. Revision and Editing checklists for each
writing assignment help students rewrite and polish their first drafts. Online
Teachers Manuals contain model lesson plans, unit overviews, timed writing
assignments, authentic student models, and answer keys.
