Jyl's words stirred my spirit and sharpened my vision: a surge in our collective struggle to hold on to what is vital in a world that would deny us our humanity." Will Hall, schizophrenia diagnosis survivor & Host of Madness Radio "Poetry, the language of the soul, lays bare and expresses tumultuous emotions that can help heal the wounded spirit. These poems document one hero's journey through a dark night of the soul, that ultimately leads to the author's self-discovery, recovery and a sovereign victory.

Book excerpt: She was the one, the only American Red Hot Mama. Her career spanned six decades, taking her from the cramped apartment above her parents’ restaurant in Hartford, Connecticut, to the world’s greatest music halls. And she became, and remains, one of the biggest influences on women entertainers and comedians in American history. Sophie and Me is the story of Sophie Tucker—the colorful, spicy, bold entertainer who broke boundaries in the industry and whose popularity during her life, and celebrity even beyond it has not waned. Told through the eyes of her great-grand niece, to whom Sophie took under her wing and was both mentor and surrogate grandmother, Sophie and Me takes the reader on an intimate journey through Sophie’s extraordinary life. Sophie Tucker was an original. Zaftig, full-bodied in looks and voice, she was strong and independent before it became acceptable for women. Sophie and Me is the story of the American dream and of one woman who refused to compromise her looks or heritage to reach success. A woman who lived an untraditional life in traditional times. A woman who achieved vast fame and fortune, and yet never really was the “Yiddishe Momme” she sang about.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Michael Abramson is a collector of words and thoughts and unique objects of art and old stained glass. As a detailed stained glass window reveals a myriad of changing colors and images of light, so changes the meaning of this authors thoughts and words whether serious or humorous. He is a simple person; a physician, and a teacher, who has spent most of his life showing compassion for others. He has a deep respect for women and knows as much as anyone could about them, (often reflected in his poetry), yet he is the first to admit that no one will ever completely discover what drives such beautiful and complex beings. His views are indeed his poetic reflections as seen through some sort of colored but very wonderful light. He is a raconteur, a person of integrity and a portrait of an artist perhaps, (perhaps not), but for sure a portrait of a kind unassuming and humble man, willing to share his humor, knowledge and love with others. This volume contains more spitting images by author Michael Abramson, which are exhibited masterfully through his quotations, poetry, and free associated rambles in this much larger fifth volume of his work containing well over 850 pieces, including some of his best words from the other volumes. They will make you think, make you laugh, and maybe even make you cry. It contains stories, thoughts; humor, truths and sometimes just words which if read carefully might give you insight into the life and the mind of this clever and sensitive author.

Book excerpt: It was the last few weeks of high school and in those few short weeks a dramatic change came about in the life of senior Paul Abbaszadeh. It can only be described as magical and "fairytale-like". After four years of futile attempts at dating he never expected to find anyone who would truly appreciate him for who he was. That all changed in an instance when he finally met that one special person. She came into his life and from then on everything changed. How beautiful life was; it had taken nearly four years and when he least expected it, love crept up on him. She was everything he could ever want in a girl, smart, charming, funny, charismatic and of course beautiful. Everything was perfect. Then the summer came and it played out like a classic Hollywood film. No other two people could have been so in love. The summer ended and they were separated in distance as they parted for college. Not even the distance could mar their love for one another as their love endured and their bond grew stronger with each passing day. One Love is a true love story, a written account taken from the Memoirs of Paul Abbaszadeh. You will discover the beauty and innocence of young love from high school to the carefree days of summer and beyond written in the most sincere form.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A provocative look at one of Canada's biggest tragedies On March 16, 2005, almost twenty years after one of the biggest mass murders in Canadian Aviation history, the Air-India Case concluded with a verdict that authors Zuhair Kashmeri and Brian McAndrew predicted sixteen years ago when Soft Target was first published: not guilty. In this second edition, the two offer a detailed foreword that brings readers up-to-date with some startling new information surrounding the twin bombings on June 23, 1985 in the air over the Atlantic, and on the ground in Japan, which left 331 people dead. They offer key details from the trial of Ripudaman Singh Malik and Ajaib Singh Bagri that took place in a specially-built Vancouver courtroom, leads that were not followed up, and more details of India's intelligence service's clandestine interference in Canada. They explain how their own prediction that justice would not be found because of a botched investigation came true, and that only a public inquiry will offer closure to the families of the victims.

As it reconstructs conversations between these earlier authors and initiates new dialogues for today’s readers, Soft Canons offers provocative reconceptualizations of American literary and cultural history.

Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • From the Pulitzer Prize–winning author of The Russians, a “lively and provocative”* analysis of the Soviet Union in its twilight years. *The New York Times Book Review Even from afar, the transformation in the Soviet Union held a special fascination for all of us, and not only because it affected our destiny, our survival, even the changing nature of our own society. What happened there riveted our interest for a deeper reason: It was a modern enactment of one of the archetypal stories of human existence, that of the struggle from darkness to light, from poverty toward prosperity, from dictatorship toward democracy. It represented an affirmation of the relentless human struggle to break free from the bonds of hierarchy and dogma, to strive for a better life, for stronger, richer values. It was an affirmation of the human capacity for change, growth, renewal. The New Russians is about how that story of change began and what this change meant for the Russian people—and for the rest of the world.

Book excerpt: Soft power has become a very popular concept in international affairs, appearing in government policy papers, academic discussions, and the popular media. In China, soft power has become one of the most frequently used phrases among political leaders, leading academics, and journalists. Defined against hard power, which often involves threat and coercion, soft power applies attraction, persuasion, and cooperation, finding its sources in culture, political values, and foreign policies. China, rich in culture and traditional philosophy, boasts abundant sources of soft power. Soft Power attempts to analyze the domestic and international views of China's soft power, the main strengths and weaknesses of China's soft power, and the application of soft power in China's international politics. It provides a comprehensive exploration of the soft power dimension in China's foreign relations by integrating views from various disciplines, such as history, education, culture, political economy, comparative politics, and philosophy. The book argues that soft power has become a very popular concept in China, that China is contemplating and exploring an innovative strategy in its rise and international politics, and that there have been quite a few notable elements of this in China's diplomatic practice, including softer rhetoric, promotion of the Chinese culture abroad, economic diplomacy, and image building. The book also argues that the limitations of China's soft power primarily stem from political values and China's own transitions, and reflects the reality that views and opinions regarding China's soft power are fairly diverse both in China and in the international arena.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Hard Interests, Soft Illusions, Natasha Hamilton-Hart explores the belief held by foreign policy elites in much of Southeast Asia—Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Thailand, Singapore, and Vietnam—that the United States is a relatively benign power. She argues that this belief is an important factor underpinning U.S. preeminence in the region, because beliefs inform specific foreign policy decisions and form the basis for broad orientations of alignment, opposition, or nonalignment. Such foundational beliefs, however, do not simply reflect objective facts and reasoning processes. Hamilton-Hart argues that they are driven by both interests—in this case the political and economic interests of ruling groups in Southeast Asia—and illusions. Hamilton-Hart shows how the information landscape and standards of professional expertise within the foreign policy communities of Southeast Asia shape beliefs about the United States. These opinions frequently rest on deeply biased understandings of national history that dominate perceptions of the past and underlie strategic assessments of the present and future. Members of the foreign policy community rarely engage in probabilistic reasoning or effortful knowledge-testing strategies. This does not mean, she emphasizes, that the beliefs are insincere or merely instrumental rationalizations. Rather, cognitive and affective biases in the ways humans access and use information mean that interests influence beliefs; how they do so depends on available information, the social organization and practices of a professional sphere, and prevailing standards for generating knowledge.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book describes how an employee-focused leadership, aka. "soft management" will ensure to achieve the best economic results. Leadership means taking care of the employees. If you deal with your employees in a proper and correct manner - generously, supportively, trustingly, openly communicating, informing, participating - then the employees will be more motivated, show greater commitment and accordingly they will perform better. A distinction is made between two management and leadership styles: On the one hand, "hard management", which creates plans, sets up structures and monitors performance. The focus is on the task. Management is more aggressive and it's all about the bottom line. On the other hand, "soft management", where the focus is on employees. It is a humane management that is largely based on emotions and where the focus is on dealing with each other and on communication. It is also shown that soft management is by no means a matter of "continuous softness", "healthy world fuss" or "being nice ". Soft management is about tough facts like performance, goals and results. It takes strong leaders to implement soft management; Managers cannot afford to be insecure and have a lot of self-doubt. Employee-oriented leadership is the true spirit of leadership. The motto "Leadership is simple:" Take care of your people and both your organization and you will be successful "show the spirit of the author.

Book excerpt: The Rhetoric of Soft Power: Public Diplomacy in Global Contexts provides a comparative assessment of public diplomacy and strategic communication initiatives in order to portray how Joseph Nye's notion of "soft power" has translated into context-specific strategies of international influence. The book examines four cases--Japan, Venezuela, China, and the United States--to illuminate the particular significance of culture, foreign publics, and communication technologies for the foreign policy ambitions of each country. This study explores the notion of soft power as a set of theoretical arguments about power, and as a reflection of how nation-states perceive what is an increasingly necessary perspective on international relations in an age of ubiquitous global communication flows and encroaching networks of non-state actors. Through an analysis of policy discourse, public diplomacy initiatives, and related programs of strategic influence, soft power in each case represents a localized set of assumptions about the requirements of persuasion, the relevance of foreign audiences to state goals, and the perception of what counts as a soft power resource. This timely analysis provides an unprecedented comparative investigation of the relationship between soft power and public diplomacy.
