Book excerpt: Still Stepping: A Family Portrait is a twenty-two year, long-form portrait of a family as it cruises along, gets clobbered by a treacherous childhood illness, and then moves forward. Amidst the quotidian of life, my photographs and the family's words-from letters, an essay, a documentary and interviews-provide an intimate window into a world turned upside down then righted by two shaken but determined parents.The book follows the family as it figures out how to care for a severely disabled child, and rights itself to the new reality by the will and persistence (and humor) of the four family members.The narrative is presented in two parts. The first begins with the untroubled days of early childhood. It follows the Morgan-Orton family as they seek a diagnosis for nine-year-old Parker's increasingly disturbing behavior and learn the worst of news-that it is Childhood Onset Schizophrenia (COS). It continues with the period of adaptation and moving forward; shaken but determined, the family finds a new rhythm. The second part, the Postscript, presents the children in their twenties with all four offering unvarnished reflections on their lives and concerns for the future.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “The perfect book for the times in which we live . . . page after page of engaging stories, profound insights, and practical tips on how you can stand up and take responsibility for making something meaningful happen.” —Jim Kouzes, coauthor of the bestselling The Leadership Challenge All too often, the challenges we face seem overwhelming. Where do we start? What if we fail? But bestselling author John Izzo argues that almost every problem, from personal difficulties and business challenges to social issues, can be solved if all of us look to ourselves to create change rather than looking to others. And with the research to prove it, Izzo shows that by seeing ourselves as the locus of control rather than the victims of change, we are happier, less stressed, and more powerful. Izzo shows how taking responsibility changes our careers, our companies, our lives, and our communities. This book is filled with stories that illustrate the incredible power of stepping up: a homeless man who started a recycling revolution, a middle-aged Italian shopkeeper who fought back against the Mafia, two teenagers who ignited an antibullying movement, an executive who turned a dying division into a profit center, and a few employees who created a multibillion dollar product for Starbucks, and many more. This second edition includes a new chapter on the Stepping Up Continuum, a model that looks at six ways to know if you are stepping up or stepping back, as well as fresh stories and a self-assessment tool for helping leaders create a culture for stepping up in their organizations. We have the power within ourselves to move mountains—we just have to decide that we are the ones to do it.

Book excerpt: As a research neuroscientist, Lise Eliot has made the study of the human brain her life's work. But it wasn't until she was pregnant with her first child that she became intrigued with the study of brain development. She wanted to know precisely how the baby's brain is formed, and when and how each sense, skill, and cognitive ability is developed. And just as important, she was interested in finding out how her role as a nurturer can affect this complex process. How much of her baby's development is genetically ordained--and how much is determined by environment? Is there anything parents can do to make their babies' brains work better--to help them become smarter, happier people? Drawing upon the exploding research in this field as well as the stories of real children, What's Going On in There? is a lively and thought-provoking book that charts the brain's development from conception through the critical first five years. In examining the many factors that play crucial roles in that process, What's Going On in There? explores the evolution of the senses, motor skills, social and emotional behaviors, and mental functions such as attention, language, memory, reasoning, and intelligence. This remarkable book also discusses: how a baby's brain is "assembled" from scratch the critical prenatal factors that shapebrain development how the birthing process itself affects the brain which forms of stimulation are most effective at promoting cognitive development how boys' and girls' brains develop differently how nutrition, stress, and other physical and social factors can permanently affect a child's brain Brilliantly blending cutting-edge science with a mother's wisdom and insight, What's Going On in There? is an invaluable contribution to the nature versus nurture debate. Children's development is determined both by the genes they are born with and the richness of their early environment. This timely and important book shows parents the innumerable ways in which they can actually help their children grow better brains.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A collection of sermons and speeches that lay out a groundbreaking vision for intersectional organizing, paired with inspirational and practical essays from activists in today’s Poor People’s Campaign The Rev. Dr. William J. Barber II has been called “the closest person we have to Martin Luther King Jr. in our midst” (Cornel West) and “one of the most gifted organizers and orators in the country today” (Ari Berman). In this age of political division and civic unrest, Rev. Barber’s message is more necessary than ever. This volume features Rev. Barber’s most stirring sermons and speeches, with response essays by prominent public intellectuals, activists, and faith leaders. Drawing from the history of social movements in the US, especially the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s Poor People’s Campaign, Rev. Barber and the contributors to this volume speak to the most pressing issues of our time, including Black Lives Matter, the fight for a $15 minimum wage, the struggle to protect voting rights, the march for women’s rights, and the movement to overcome poverty and unite the dispossessed across all dividing lines. Grounded in the fundamental biblical theme of poor and oppressed people taking action together, the book suggests ways to effectively build a fusion movement to make America fair and just for everyone.

As an archaeologist, he searches for remains of the dragon race that wiped itself out centuries ago. So far, all of his quests have turned up with nothing. If he fails this time, it will be his last chance. But his hope is extinguished when he meets his partner for the dig. Hashkeh is a humanoid tiger, a member of a beast race. Tigers and humans do not get along. Neither man wants to work with the other, but they’re not allowed to do this work alone. As they reluctantly start the dig, the stereotypes each holds about the other’s race begin to break down. As Aldred and Hashkeh’s hatred shifts into a shaky friendship, they learn more and more about the past. The history they’ve been taught is not always accurate, and sometimes the legends are true. And though the dragons are extinct, they still have a message to send.

Book excerpt: Judging by the popularity of do-it-yourself and self-help materials on the market today, society seems to be on an endless quest for purpose and satisfaction. Wanting to be the best versions of ourselves is a noble yet time- and resource- consuming pursuit. People have often said, “If only I had an owner’s manual for life . . .” We do: The Holy Bible. But who has the time to weed through that sizable book for the answers to life’s questions? Lead the Way: Following the Words and Examples of Jesus in Leading the Charge Toward Positive Cultural Change hopes to simplify the process for you. A 366-day study devotional and discipleship tool, LTW focuses on the teachings of Jesus to help the modern-day Christian navigate the myriad choice-points we all face daily. Each day, LTW hones in on a particular character trait, attitude, or expected response Jesus is highlighting in the day’s red-lettered text or larger passage. With that in mind, LTW then provides historical, political, cultural, and religious information pertaining to the day’s scripture: the setting, the audience, the response. From there, the reader is offered current-day examples and illustrations of how Jesus’ words and teachings apply to us today. The final two sections of each day’s study are where the rubber meets the road, so to speak. This is where learning moves from the head to the heart, and then from the heart to the hands and feet. Stepping In offers suggestions for further reflection through thought-provoking questions, prayer prompts, or scriptures to meditate on. Stepping Out provides ideas for how to put faith into tangible action. As followers of Jesus, we are commanded to take to heart the message of our Savior’s teachings and continue the movement he gave his life to promote. Lead the way that others may follow!

In the desolate autumn wind, he pulled A'xi, his eyes heavy, and promised to grant her all the mountains and rivers in the world.

Book excerpt: The pakhan of the Bratva mafia, Daniel, is a force to be reckoned with. With his chiseled body, tattoos, and smoldering eyes, he exudes danger and power. Despite his ruthless reputation, my heart aches for him. The press of his lips on mine, the graze of his stubbly chin, and the touch of his callous hands make me weak in the knees. I know I should keep my distance, but every fiber of my being longs to be closer to him. But falling for dangerous men is a pattern I can't afford to repeat. My heart has led me astray before, and I can't let it happen again. Nevertheless, fate has other plans. I'm pregnant with Daniel's child, and the thought of his reaction sends shivers down my spine. If he finds out, I'm sure he'll stop at nothing to make me his. I'm not ready to be a part of his dangerous world, but I can't ignore the growing life inside me. I have to keep my pregnancy a secret from Daniel, but the truth is getting harder to conceal. Every day is a battle to keep the lie alive, but I know that I can't hide my growing bump forever. I'm torn between my love for Daniel and my fear of what he'll do when he finds out. Will he protect our unborn child, or will he use it as a pawn in his dangerous game?

This book was released on 2018-05-31 with total page 219 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Focusing on shopkeepers in Latino/a neighborhoods in Los Angeles, Dolores Trevizo and Mary Lopez reveal how neighborhood poverty affects the business performance of Mexican immigrant entrepreneurs. Their survey of shopkeepers in twenty immigrant neighborhoods demonstrates that even slightly less impoverished, multiethnic communities offer better business opportunities than do the highly impoverished, racially segregated Mexican neighborhoods of Los Angeles. Their findings reveal previously overlooked aspects of microclass, as well as “legal capital” advantages. The authors argue that even poor Mexican immigrants whose class backgrounds in Mexico imparted an entrepreneurial disposition can achieve a modicum of business success in the right (U.S.) neighborhood context, and the more quickly they build legal capital, the better their outcomes. While the authors show that the local place characteristics of neighborhoods both reflect and reproduce class and racial inequalities, they also demonstrate that the diversity of experience among Mexican immigrants living within the spatial boundaries of these communities can contribute to economic mobility.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It's time to get real—that is, real, do-it-yourself horse training. Professional trainer Sean Patrick has created the ultimate guide to the "complete" riding horse—whether a performance, working, or "just for fun" prospect. Quite simply, you begin at Lesson Number 33 and count your way down through the basic exercises—the "primary education"—every horse needs. And when you get to Lesson 1, you've done it; you've prepared your horse for advanced work in any number of equestrian disciplines. You can't get lost along the way. There's no room for confusion. Sean clarifies the point and explains the gist of every step. The happy result? He trains you to be a trainer. Whether your horse is a foal or five, guilelessly green or imperfectly veteran, he will benefit from the Countdown—a true "foundation" program, serving to prepare him for the endless variety of activities and "jobs" horses perform today. From indispensable handling, "sacking-out," and tying exercises, to how you, the rider, can control the different parts of the horse’s body from the ground and the saddle; from mounting on both the left and the right to performing flawless flying lead changes, you’ll be amazed at how effective and efficient this program is.
