Download or read book Ron Brown's Body written by Jack Cashill and published by Thomas Nelson. This book was released on 2004 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The mysterious death of Ron Brown has caused much controversy and suspicion, and in this investigative book, Cashill takes a close look at Brown's checkered career as Clinton fund-raiser and commerce secretary and consequently exposes the Clintons' dirty, relentless practices for getting financial backing. Cashill answers the most trenchant questions surrounding Brown's rise and fall: Why did his plane crash? Why did the White House suppress an investigation? What was the purpose of Brown's trade missions? And what larger forces caused the Clintons to seek international cash? Using the case of Ron Brown's untimely death as a touchstone for the Clintons' unseemly and unsavory practices in the White House, Cashill explores the seedy depths of the most corrupt administration in American history during its two most desperate years and focuses directly on the machinations of the direst threat to today's political scene, Hillary Clinton.

Book excerpt: Who was Ron Brown? Washington lawyer, secretary of Commerce, presidential king maker, deal maker, maverick, icon–one of the most intriguing and complex personalities of the twentieth century.

Holmes captures the lessons of Ron Brown’s life and reveals not only who he was but how he arrived at the center of power. "Steve Holmes opens rich vistas into American politics and the sociology of black America."–Juan Williams, author, Eyes on the Prize and Thurgood Marshall: American Revolutionary "Admiring yet unsparing, Holmes charts the rising trajectory of a world-class deal-broker."–Kirkus Reviews "A fascinating read. Holmes has captured Brown in the crosshairs of two worlds: one of the black middle class that comes of age in his generation and another at the heart of power in white-run Washington."–Sam Fulwood III, author, Waking from the Dream
Download or read book Art of Suicide written by Ron Brown and published by Reaktion Books. This book was released on 2004-01-02 with total page 448 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Art of Suicide is a history of the visual representation of suicide from the ancient world to its decriminalization in the 20th century. After looking at instances of voluntary death in ancient Greece, Ron Brown discusses the contrast between the extraordinary absence of such events in early Christianity and the proliferation of images of biblical suicides in the late medieval era. He emphasizes how differing attitudes to suicide in the early modern world slowly merged, and pays particular attention to the one-time chasm between so-called heroic suicide and self-destruction as a "crying crime". Brown tracks the changes surrounding the perception of suicide into the pivotal Romantic era, with its notions of the "man of feeling", ready to hurl himself into the abyss over a woman or an unfinishable poem. After the First World War, the meaning of death and attitudes towards suicide changed radically, and in time this led to its decriminalization. The 20th century in fact witnessed a growing ambivalence towards suicidal acts, which today are widely regarded either as expressions of a death-wish or as cries for help. Brown concludes with Warhol's picture of Marilyn Monroe and the videos taken by the notorious Dr Kevorkian.
Book Synopsis The Life and Times of Ron Brown by : Tracey L. Brown
Download or read book The Life and Times of Ron Brown written by Tracey L. Brown and published by William Morrow. This book was released on 1998 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Life and Times of Ron Brown, his daughter, Tracey L. Brown, shares a touching account of the person and the politician, and a candid look at one of this century's most compelling figures. From his earliest days growing up in Harlem's Hotel Theresa, the legendary mecca for dignitaries and celebrities like Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Fidel Castro, and Joe Louis, Ron Brown displayed a precocious intellect and an ability to make friends readily. Educated at Vermont's Middlebury College, he became the first black member of the school's Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity, one of the several "firsts" in his life. The Life and Times of Ron Brown reveals his accomplishments - as the first black officer to serve in his army unit, the first black leader of a national political party, and the first black commerce secretary - and sensitively examines what it meant for Ron Brown to be a minority achiever in a predominantly white world.
Book Synopsis Understanding Labor and Employment Law in China by : Ronald C. Brown
Download or read book Understanding Labor and Employment Law in China written by Ronald C. Brown and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2009-10-12 with total page 349 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Continued economic prosperity in China and its international competitive advantage have been due in large part to the labor of workers in China, who for many years toiled in underregulated workplaces. More recently, labor law reforms have been praised for their progressive measures and, at the same time, blamed for placing too many economic burdens on companies, especially those operating on the margins, which in some cases have caused business failures. This, combined with the global downturn and the millions of displaced and unemployed Chinese migrant laborers, has created ongoing debate about the labor laws. Meanwhile, the Chinese Union has organized many of the Global Fortune 500 companies, and a form of collective bargaining is occurring. Workers are pursuing their legal labor rights in increasing numbers. This book provides a clear overview of the labor and employment law environment in China and its legal requirements, as well as practices under these laws used to deal with labor issues.

Book Synopsis A Hope in the Unseen by : Ron Suskind
Download or read book A Hope in the Unseen written by Ron Suskind and published by Crown. This book was released on 2010-08-18 with total page 402 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The inspiring, true coming-of-age story of a ferociously determined young man who, armed only with his intellect and his willpower, fights his way out of despair. In 1993, Cedric Jennings was a bright and ferociously determined honor student at Ballou, a high school in one of Washington D.C.’s most dangerous neighborhoods, where the dropout rate was well into double digits and just 80 students out of more than 1,350 boasted an average of B or better. At Ballou, Cedric had almost no friends. He ate lunch in a classroom most days, plowing through the extra work he asked for, knowing that he was really competing with kids from other, harder schools. Cedric Jennings’s driving ambition—which was fully supported by his forceful mother—was to attend a top college. In September 1995, after years of near superhuman dedication, he realized that ambition when he began as a freshman at Brown University. But he didn't leave his struggles behind. He found himself unprepared for college: he struggled to master classwork and fit in with the white upper-class students. Having traveled too far to turn back, Cedric was left to rely on his intelligence and his determination to maintain hope in the unseen—a future of acceptance and reward. In this updated edition, A Hope in the Unseen chronicles Cedric’s odyssey during his last two years of high school, follows him through his difficult first year at Brown, and tells the story of his subsequent successes in college and the world of work. Eye-opening, sometimes humorous, and often deeply moving, A Hope in the Unseen weaves a crucial new thread into the rich and ongoing narrative of the American experience.
Book Synopsis We Have Not Been Listening by : Ron Brown
Download or read book We Have Not Been Listening written by Ron Brown and published by Winepress Publishing. This book was released on 2012-06-01 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: St. Augustine, an African-American mega church located in the heart of Nashville, becomes a welcoming haven for its community after a strange and inexplicable event. Thousands of people have gone suddenly missing, each one leaving behind only a pile of clothing and personal belongings. Wrecked and abandoned vehicles create gridlock on every street. Hospitals and first responders are overwhelmed by the demands on them, leaving those not caught up in the wreckage to search on their own for the answers they need but are afraid to find. Bishop G. T. Thomas, the influential pastor of St. Augustine, finds himself struggling to explain what has taken place, even as he and his church associates strive to help those injured and stranded as a result of these events. As the gravity of their situation begins to sink in, each person must find a way to deal with the truth they now recognize-truth they had previously failed to heed-and begin their search for a new and hopeful way forward to God's grace and mercy. We Have Not Been Listening is a work of fiction aimed at shining a light into the self-deceptive darkness of human hearts by telling the story of church-going people who discover they've been left behind and missed the second coming of Christ.
Book Synopsis The Source Legacy Workbook by : Ron Brown Grayson
Download or read book The Source Legacy Workbook written by Ron Brown Grayson and published by Xlibris. This book was released on 2003-04 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THE ORIGIN OF THIS MATERIAL At this point in our Human evolution, just about any thinking person knows where we're supposed to be in terms of achieving personal happiness and self-unity the problem is that most of us haven't known what to do to get there. The market is inundated with literally thousands of self-help books that detail in untold ways what the end result should be, but precious few of them provide the necessary TOOLS to guide us to such an end. Collectively, we know it's regressive to remain locked in self-defeating and self-destructive patterns; we know it's in our best interest to release the emotional scars and wounds of the past; we know it's counter-productive to blame our parents ad nauseam for the mistakes made in our up-bringing; and we know it's personally harmful to wander through our daily lives weighed down by stress, chaos, fear and anger but what we haven't collectively known is how to create real, lasting change in our lives. Each of us, it seems, is on some type of personal quest to find the Holy Grail the TOOLS for how to achieve joy and unity within ourselves and with the other inhabitants of this miraculous and abundant planet. To this end, the fundamental goal of this Workbook, and of the School that this work represents, is to empower each of us with the necessary tools and information to guide us to self-healing and, thus, to self-sovereignty. The Source Legacy Foundation and the School Of Universal Resonance & Creative Empowerment was founded by Shelley Oliver who, as an exceptionally clear and fully conscious representative of God, has been a facilitator of healing for over thirty-seven years. The body of information, practices, and techniques that Ms. Oliver received and developed in her private practice have been shared throughout the years with hundreds of individuals the world over. In the last decade, Ms. Oliver began working with a committed group of teachers and facilitators to expand one private practice into many. As the demand for their collective services grew, this group of teachers, ministers, counselors, and facilitators coalesced their practices to create the Source Legacy Foundation and the School Of Universal Resonance & Creative Empowerment (S.O.U.R.C.E.). The information contained in this Workbook began as a dialogue between Ms. Oliver and the School's President and Co-Founder, Ron Brown Grayson, in order that a permanent record of this material could be created, and so that a wider audience could benefit from the wisdom within these tools and practices. The Workbook has since become the basic course curriculum of the School and is the primary tool in the training of new teachers. Under the Foundation aegis, the School Of Universal Resonance & Creative Empowerment offers training and certification for teachers in the areas of Universal healing modalities, energetic release and balancing techniques, emotional and physical transformational processes, as well as Life Mastery classes that assist the individual in creating mindfulness, expanded consciousness, and greater awareness. The efficacy of this very practical and tool-based work has been proven time and time again through the successful experiences of those who have participated in these programs. This work has repeatedly helped create total self-healing for hundreds of people suffering from pathologies as divergent as cancer and leukemia, to manic depression and emotional trauma. Personal healing is only permanent when we take responsibility for it ourselves but it does not have to be a life-long, nail-biting process if we do not choose it to be. Everything is energy in motion, and everything has energetic substance to include our emotional baggage, thoughts, and behavioral patterns. As such, the patterns that we no longer want in our lives can be released if we know how to do it. When we relinq

Book Synopsis Toronto's Lost Villages by : Ron Brown
Download or read book Toronto's Lost Villages written by Ron Brown and published by Dundurn. This book was released on 2020-05-15 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Explore the vestiges of the hamlets and villages that have been swallowed up by Toronto’s relentless growth. Over the course of more than two centuries, Toronto has ballooned from a muddy collection of huts on a swampy waterfront to Canada’s largest and most diverse city. Amid (and sometimes underneath) this urban agglomeration are the remains of many small communities that once dotted the region now known as Toronto and the GTA. Before European settlers arrived, Indigenous Peoples established villages on the shore of Lake Ontario. With the arrival of the English, a host of farm hamlets, tollgate stopovers, mill towns, and, later, railway and cottage communities sprang up. Vestiges of some are still preserved, while others have disappeared forever. Some are remembered, though many have been forgotten. In Toronto’s Lost Villages, all of their stories are brought back to life.
Book Synopsis Rock Me on the Water by : Ronald Brownstein
Download or read book Rock Me on the Water written by Ronald Brownstein and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2021-03-23 with total page 448 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this exceptional cultural history, Atlantic Senior Editor Ronald Brownstein—“one of America's best political journalists (The Economist)—tells the kaleidoscopic story of one monumental year that marked the city of Los Angeles’ creative peak, a glittering moment when popular culture was ahead of politics in predicting what America would become. Los Angeles in 1974 exerted more influence over popular culture than any other city in America. Los Angeles that year, in fact, dominated popular culture more than it ever had before, or would again. Working in film, recording, and television studios around Sunset Boulevard, living in Brentwood and Beverly Hills or amid the flickering lights of the Hollywood Hills, a cluster of transformative talents produced an explosion in popular culture which reflected the demographic, social, and cultural realities of a changing America. At a time when Richard Nixon won two presidential elections with a message of backlash against the social changes unleashed by the sixties, popular culture was ahead of politics in predicting what America would become. The early 1970s in Los Angeles was the time and the place where conservatives definitively lost the battle to control popular culture. Rock Me on the Water traces the confluence of movies, music, television, and politics in Los Angeles month by month through that transformative, magical year. Ronald Brownstein reveals how 1974 represented a confrontation between a massive younger generation intent on change, and a political order rooted in the status quo. Today, we are again witnessing a generational cultural divide. Brownstein shows how the voices resistant to change may win the political battle for a time, but they cannot hold back the future.
