Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Ninth Decade is a path-breaking and timely book on aging: the first to focus explicitly and at length on eighty-somethings, the fastest-growing demographic in the industrialized world. Covering eight years in lively six-month installments, Klaus tells a vivid story not only of his own ninth decade and survival routines, but also of his loving companion, Jackie, who is strikingly different from him in her physical well-being, practical outlook, sociable temperament, and vigorous workouts. Cameos of their octogenarian friends and relatives near and far add to a wide-ranging and revelatory portrayal of advanced aging, as do bios of notable octogenarians. The multi-year scope of his chronicle reveals the numerous physical and mental problems that arise during octogenarian life and how eighty-year-olds have dealt with those challenges. The Ninth Decade is a unique, first-hand source of information for anyone in their sixties, seventies, or eighties, as well as for persons devoted to care of the aged. Though the challenges of octogenarian life often require specialized care, The Ninth Decade also shows the pleasures of it to be so special as to have inspired Lillian Hellman’s paradoxical description of “longer life” as “the happy problem of our time.”

Book excerpt: The Defining Decade has changed the way millions of twentysomethings think about their twenties—and themselves. Revised and reissued for a new generation, let it change how you think about you and yours. Our "thirty-is-the-new-twenty" culture tells us the twentysomething years don't matter. Some say they are an extended adolescence. Others call them an emerging adulthood. In The Defining Decade, Meg Jay argues that twentysomethings have been caught in a swirl of hype and misinformation, much of which has trivialized the most transformative time of our lives. Drawing from more than two decades of work with thousands of clients and students, Jay weaves the latest science of the twentysomething years with behind-closed-doors stories from twentysomethings themselves. The result is a provocative read that provides the tools necessary to take the most of your twenties, and shows us how work, relationships, personality, identity and even the brain can change more during this decade than at any other time in adulthood—if we use the time well. Also included in this updated edition: Up-to-date research on work, love, the brain, friendship, technology, and fertility What a decade of device use has taught us about looking at friends—and looking for love—online 29 conversations to have with your partner—or to keep in mind as you search for one A social experiment in which "digital natives" go without their phones A Reader's Guide for book clubs, classrooms, or further self-reflection

Book excerpt: This book is one part theological reflection, one part memoir, one part critique of American transportation plus various other observations on this and that.

The reader is freed to look at life in fresh ways through this respected church leader's astute analysis of his own life, the culture around him, and the Bible as it relates to present realities." -Donna Mast, Conference Minister, Allegheny Mennonite Conference "Those who have read Hertzler's provocative editorials and articles over the years have come to expect reasoned arguments, sharp wit, candor, biblical studies, and prophetic edge. This memoir does not disappoint." -John Sharp, Author, A School on the Prairie: A Centennial History of Hesston College, 1909-2009 "For decades Dan Hertzler was the dean of Mennonite journalism. Now, with vision undimmed and prose still deft and spare, he looks back on the coordinates of a life well-lived-faith . . . hearth . . . gardening . . . even the value of an inherited shovel." -Wally Kroeker, Editor, The Marketplace "Dan has once again offered us words that are modest, truthful, engaging, and wise." -David B. Miller, Associate Professor of Missional Leadership Development, Anabaptist Mennonite Biblical Seminary, in the Foreword

Download or read book The Zeroes written by Randall Lane and published by Scribe Publications. This book was released on 2010-09-27 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An insider’s memoir of how Wall Street went insane with greed — and took the rest of us down with it Randall Lane never set out to become a Wall Street power broker. But during the decade he calls the Zeroes, he founded a series of magazines for business high-flyers, exalting their lifestyle and enticing them to splurge on luxury brands from Maybach to Bulgari. When the crash of 2008 destroyed Lane’s company, The Wall Street Journal called his magazines’ demise ‘one of those moments when a chance arrow of history scores a perfect bull’s-eye on a deserving target’. Although he lost his life savings, Lane walked away with something more lasting: an incredible true story. In this memoir, he provides eye-popping accounts of how fortunes were made and spent. Traders who turned 9/11 and Hurricane Katrina into multi-million-dollar windfalls. Celebrities who tried to cash in on the feeding frenzy. Bidding wars for Gulfstream jets. Boxing matches where traders from Goldman Sachs and Bear Stearns pounded each other in front of tuxedoed throngs. As Michael Lewis’s Liar’s Poker was to the 1980s, The Zeroes will serve as a timeless reference on what the first decade of the new century was really like.

Download or read book China Hands written by James R. Lilley and published by Public Affairs. This book was released on 2009-03-04 with total page 434 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: James Lilley's life and family have been entwined with China's fate since his father moved to the country to work for Standard Oil in 1916. Lilley spent much of his childhood in China and after a Yale professor took him aside and suggested a career in intelligence, it became clear that he would spend his adult life returning to China again and again. Lilley served for twenty-five years in the CIA in Laos, Tokyo, Hong Kong, and Taiwan before moving to the State Department in the early 1980s to begin a distinguished career as the U.S.'s top-ranking diplomat in Taiwan, ambassador to South Korea, and finally, ambassador to China. From helping Laotian insurgent forces assist the American efforts in Vietnam to his posting in Beijing during the Tiananmen Square crackdown, he was in a remarkable number of crucial places during challenging times as he spent his life tending to America's interests in Asia. In China Hands, he includes three generations of stories from an American family in the Far East, all of them absorbing, some of them exciting, and one, the loss of Lilley's much loved and admired brother, Frank, unremittingly tragic. China Hands is a fascinating memoir of America in Asia, Asia itself, and one especially capable American's personal history.

Download or read book Facts are Subversive written by Timothy Garton Ash and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2010-01-01 with total page 490 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Timothy Garton Ash is well known as an astute and penetrating observer of a dazzling array of subjects, not least through his many contributions to the New York Review of Books. This collection of his essays from the last decade reveals his knack for ferreting out exceptional insights into a troubled world, often on the basis of firsthand experience. Whether he is writing about how “liberalism” has become a dirty word in American political discourse, the problems of Muslim assimilation in Europe, Ukraine’s Orange Revolution, Günter Grass’s membership in the Waffen-SS, or the angry youth of Iran, Garton Ash combines a gimlet eye for detail with deep knowledge of the history of his chosen subjects. Running through this book is the author’s insistence that, whatever some postmodernists might claim, there are indeed facts—and we have both a political and a moral duty to establish them. By practicing what it preaches, Facts Are Subversive shows why Timothy Garton Ash is one of the world’s leading political writers. “The best and most perceptive political writer of our time . . . This book shines the clearest of lights on an entire decade.”—John Simpson “One of the most reliable and acute observers of the past present, able to report on events as a witness and, simultaneously, assess them with a coolness of judgment that almost always holds up over time.”—George Packer, New York Times Book Review “One of the most enjoyable political books you’ll read this year.”—GQ
