Book Synopsis Extraordinary, Ordinary People by : Condoleezza Rice
Download or read book Extraordinary, Ordinary People written by Condoleezza Rice and published by Crown. This book was released on 2011-10-11 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the story of Condoleezza Rice that has never been told, not that of an ultra-accomplished world leader, but of a little girl--and a young woman--trying to find her place in a sometimes hostile world, of two exceptional parents, and an extended family and community that made all the difference. Condoleezza Rice has excelled as a diplomat, political scientist, and concert pianist. Her achievements run the gamut from helping to oversee the collapse of communism in Europe and the decline of the Soviet Union, to working to protect the country in the aftermath of 9-11, to becoming only the second woman--and the first black woman ever--to serve as Secretary of State. But until she was 25 she never learned to swim, because when she was a little girl in Birmingham, Alabama, Commissioner of Public Safety Bull Connor decided he'd rather shut down the city's pools than give black citizens access. Throughout the 1950's, Birmingham's black middle class largely succeeded in insulating their children from the most corrosive effects of racism, providing multiple support systems to ensure the next generation would live better than the last. But by 1963, Birmingham had become an environment where blacks were expected to keep their head down and do what they were told--or face violent consequences. That spring two bombs exploded in Rice’s neighborhood amid a series of chilling Klu Klux Klan attacks. Months later, four young girls lost their lives in a particularly vicious bombing. So how was Rice able to achieve what she ultimately did? Her father, John, a minister and educator, instilled a love of sports and politics. Her mother, a teacher, developed Condoleezza’s passion for piano and exposed her to the fine arts. From both, Rice learned the value of faith in the face of hardship and the importance of giving back to the community. Her parents’ fierce unwillingness to set limits propelled her to the venerable halls of Stanford University, where she quickly rose through the ranks to become the university’s second-in-command. An expert in Soviet and Eastern European Affairs, she played a leading role in U.S. policy as the Iron Curtain fell and the Soviet Union disintegrated. Less than a decade later, at the apex of the hotly contested 2000 presidential election, she received the exciting news--just shortly before her father’s death--that she would go on to the White House as the first female National Security Advisor. As comfortable describing lighthearted family moments as she is recalling the poignancy of her mother’s cancer battle and the heady challenge of going toe-to-toe with Soviet leaders, Rice holds nothing back in this remarkably candid telling.

Book excerpt: Poems, Essays and Stories from 25 Women's Extraordinary Journeys The Gathering Place: Ordinary Women; Extraordinary Lives collects the writings of a diverse group of remarkable women.

Its authors--black and white, young and old--represent a cross-section of experiences. These eye-opening and interconnected pieces weave the individual selections into a tapestry of collective experiences. The Gathering Place: Ordinary Women; Extraordinary Lives tells a story of what it's like to believe in yourself and in infinite possibilities. It is about working together in support of each other as women, and stepping forward to create. These poems, essays, and stories will inspire readers from all walks of life to seek the extraordinary within the ordinary.
Download or read book One Day written by Gene Weingarten and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2020-09-08 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “One of the 50 Best Nonfiction Books of the Last 25 Years”—Slate On New Year’s Day 2013, two-time Pulitzer Prize winner Gene Weingarten asked three strangers to, literally, pluck a day, month, and year from a hat. That day—chosen completely at random—turned out to be Sunday, December 28, 1986, by any conventional measure a most ordinary day. Weingarten spent the next six years proving that there is no such thing. That Sunday between Christmas and New Year’s turned out to be filled with comedy, tragedy, implausible irony, cosmic comeuppances, kindness, cruelty, heroism, cowardice, genius, idiocy, prejudice, selflessness, coincidence, and startling moments of human connection, along with evocative foreshadowing of momentous events yet to come. Lives were lost. Lives were saved. Lives were altered in overwhelming ways. Many of these events never made it into the news; they were private dramas in the lives of private people. They were utterly compelling. One Day asks and answers the question of whether there is even such a thing as “ordinary” when we are talking about how we all lurch and stumble our way through the daily, daunting challenge of being human.
Download or read book Madame President written by Helene Cooper and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2017-03-07 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: BEST BOOKS of 2017 SELECTION by * THE WASHINGTON POST * NEW YORK POST * The harrowing, but triumphant story of Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, leader of the Liberian women’s movement, winner of the Nobel Peace Prize, and the first democratically elected female president in African history. When Ellen Johnson Sirleaf won the 2005 Liberian presidential election, she demolished a barrier few thought possible, obliterating centuries of patriarchal rule to become the first female elected head of state in Africa’s history. Madame President is the inspiring, often heartbreaking story of Sirleaf’s evolution from an ordinary Liberian mother of four boys to international banking executive, from a victim of domestic violence to a political icon, from a post-war president to a Nobel Peace Prize winner. Pulitzer Prize–winning journalist and bestselling author Helene Cooper deftly weaves Sirleaf’s personal story into the larger narrative of the coming of age of Liberian women. The highs and lows of Sirleaf’s life are filled with indelible images; from imprisonment in a jail cell for standing up to Liberia’s military government to addressing the United States Congress, from reeling under the onslaught of the Ebola pandemic to signing a deal with Hillary Clinton when she was still Secretary of State that enshrined American support for Liberia’s future. Sirleaf’s personality shines throughout this riveting biography. Ultimately, Madame President is the story of Liberia’s greatest daughter, and the universal lessons we can all learn from this “Oracle” of African women.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A deeply personal introduction to the biblical theology and spirituality of Opus Dei by the bestselling Catholic author Scott Hahn. To conspiracy theorists, Opus Dei is a highly secretive and powerful international organization. To its members, however, Opus Dei is a spiritual path, a way of incorporating the teachings of Jesus into everyday life. In Ordinary Work, Extraordinary Grace, Scott Hahn, a member of Opus Dei, describes the organization’s founding, its mission, and its profound influence on his life. Hahn recounts the invaluable part Opus Dei played in his conversion from Evangelical Christianity to Catholicism and explains why its teachings remain at the center of his life. Through stories about his job, his marriage, his role as a parent, and his community activities, Hahn shows how Opus Dei’s spirituality enriches the meaning of daily tasks and transforms ordinary relationships. He offers inspiring insights for reconciling spiritual and material goals, discussing topics ranging from ambition, workaholism, friendship, and sex, to the place of prayer and sacrifice in Christianity today. Engaging and enlightening, Ordinary Work, Extraordinary Grace is at once a moving personal story and an inspiring work of contemporary spirituality.

Book Synopsis A Different Way of Seeing (second Edition) by : Lois Strachan
Download or read book A Different Way of Seeing (second Edition) written by Lois Strachan and published by . This book was released on 2020-09-28 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Have you ever wondered how a blind person pours a cup of coffee? Or how they and their guide dog know when it's safe to cross a busy road?When Lois Strachan lost her sight at the age of 21 years she had to learn the answers to these and countless other questions of how to live as a blind person in a sighted world.In this delightfully quirky and entertaining book Lois shares some of the secrets she discovered about how to live an "ordinary" life in an extraordinary way despite her disability.The second edition of A Different Way of Seeing contains the complete original book with an additional 30% new content - many more stories and updated information that add to this humorous and enlightening perspective of what it's really like living life as a blind person. Author Interview: Q: Did you always want to become a writer?A: No, when I was young I wanted to be a rock musician. Then I wanted to become an archeologist. And then I lost my sight. I became an author almost by accident when I met an illustrator who encouraged me to publish several children's books I'd written years previously. These became the series "The Adventures of Missy Mouse". Next thing, a mentor suggested I write a book describing how I accomplish tasks to answer the questions that audiences at my motivational talks had. Which became my narrative non-fiction, "A Different Way of Seeing". That was the point at which I fell in love with writing as a career. Q: Why write about your blindness?A: I think that one of the greatest challenges we have as the blind and visually impaired community is that people do not understand how we accomplish tasks and assume, incorrectly, that those tasks are either hard or impossible for us. My book is an attempt to bridge that gap of understanding to build greater levels of inclusion within society and the workplace. Q: Who should read your book? A: Am I allowed to say that everyone should read it? My target audience is anyone interested in learning how I live my life as a blind woman, anyone who is experiencing sight loss, or anyone interested in a feel-good story of moving forward after a lifechanging challenge. Although I'm more than happy for anyone else to read it! Q: What topics do you write about? A: I write about many different aspects of my life, from tasks like cooking, cleaning, selecting clothing, applying make-up, using technology, right the way through to topics like travel, entertainment, and of course, my three beautiful guide dogs. And I sprinkle stories of my personal experiences throughout the book.Q: What message do you want readers to take away from your book? A: That disability does not mean inability - that we have tools and techniques as members of the visually impaired community that allow us to do almost anything that a sighted person can. Q: What part of the book did you most enjoy writing?A: Definitely the chapters about my wonderful guide dogs, who have walked so much of the journey alongside me. Q: Your writing is unexpectedly light-hearted. Was that a deliberate decision when you wrote the book? A: Yes and no. Ralph Smedley, the founder of Toastmasters International, said that we learn best in moments of enjoyment. So I felt I wanted the book to focus on some of the light-hearted stories from my life as a blind woman. But I usually see the lighter side of things that happen to me, so it's true to who I am as a person. Q: In your book you mention how much you love reading. What types of books do you enjoy most?A: I'm something of an escapist reader, so anything that will take me on a journey to another time or place. My current favourite genres are urban fantasy, alternate history, and literary fiction... oh, and I also enjoy travel memoirs. To be honest, I'll read almost anything that suits my mood at the time.
