We're bombarded by messages telling us that more, bigger, and better things are the keys to happiness-but after we pile up the stuff and pile on the hours, we end up exhausted and broke on a planet full of trash. Sarah van Gelder and her colleagues at YES! Magazine have been exploring the meaning of real happiness for eighteen years. In this much-needed volume, they marshal fascinating research, in-depth essays, and compelling personal stories that lead to a life-altering conclusion: what makes us truly happy are the depth of our relationships, the quality of our communities, the contribution

Discover the Real Revolution Unfolding across America America faces huge challenges—climate change, social injustice, racist violence, economic insecurity. Journalist Sarah van Gelder suspected that there were solutions, and she went looking for them, not in the centers of power, where people are richly rewarded for their allegiance to the status quo, but off the beaten track, in rural communities, small towns, and neglected urban neighborhoods. She bought a used pickup truck and camper and set off on a 12,000-mile journey through eighteen states, dozens of cities and towns, and five Indian reservations. From the ranches of Montana to the coalfields of Kentucky to the urban cores of Chicago and Detroit, van Gelder discovered people and communities who are remaking America from the ground up. Join her as she meets the quirky and the committed, the local heroes and the healers who, under the mass media's radar, are getting stuff done. The common thread running through their work was best summed up by a phrase she saw on a mural in Newark: “We the People LOVE This Place.” That connection we each have to our physical and ecological place, and to our human community, is where we find our power and our best hopes for a new America.

Our research addresses the approach of Western European newspapers’ reports on the negotiations preceding the Russo-Japanese war, from September 1 to November 30 of 1903, to provide an alternate narrative to the events. We have taken into account six Belgian and three European newspapers’ reportage on the negotiations and related issues in East Asia in the months running up to the Russo-Japanese war of February 1904 to September 1905, providing a background to both newspaper journalism in Europe and the development of the war. The negotiations started on August 12, 1903 between Japan and Russia and discussed the rights of the empires in the Manchurian and Korean regions. The background information has been gathered through a literature study, whereas the research analysis is provided using a combination of frame analysis and media content analysis. Analysing chronologically by month, September is yet non-confrontational, but several newspapers notice emerging tensions. Throughout October following the non-evacuation of Manchuria by Russia, reports alternate between the negotiating powers taking provocative actions and the denial of said actions being conflictual. Finally, November reports prioritise the Russian conflicts with first China and later Korea over the Russo-Japanese tensions, initiated by the Mukden incident. From this research, we could conclude that: article frequency proportioned to the severity of the tensions whereas article length parallelled the duration of the negotiations; no newspaper had any evident political leaning, instead focusing on objective reportage.
