Book excerpt: Race has always been an emotional and contentious subject in America. Too often, the focus has been on one extreme or the other. Dr. Conrad provides a refreshing perspective that goes beyond news program sound bites and newspaper headlines to tackle some difficult questions, such as: Why do some people born into difficult circumstances succeed in life where others fail? What are the causes of urban violence in America? What does emotional intelligence have to do with understanding and appreciating diversity? What are the most common problems with diversity initiatives in many organizations? Dr. Conrad explores these questions based on what science tells us about our brains-their tremendous potential, and their fragility. The Fragile Mind is a valuable resource for you if you are: . A business leader or supervisor seeking to maximize the talents of your employees . An elected official or government representative seeking to understand the unique needs of your constituency . A school administrator or teacher seeking to prepare tomorrow's leaders . A non-profit leader or community worker seeking to provide the appropriate help for people in need

Download or read book Fiat Flux written by William D. Lindsey and published by University of Arkansas Press. This book was released on 2014-05-01 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wilson R. Bachelor was a Tennessee native who moved with his family to Franklin County, Arkansas, in 1870. A country doctor and natural philosopher, Bachelor was impelled to chronicle his life from 1870 to 1902, documenting the family's move to Arkansas, their settling a farm in Franklin County, and Bachelor's medical practice. Bachelor was an avid reader with wide-ranging interests in literature, science, nature, politics, and religion, and he became a self-professed freethinker in the 1870s. He was driven by a concept he called "fiat flux," an awareness of the "rapid flight of time" that motivated him to treat the people around him and the world itself as precious and fleeting. He wrote occasional pieces for a local newspaper, bringing his unusually enlightened perspectives to the subjects of women's rights, capital punishment, the role of religion in politics, and the domination of the American political system by economic elite in the 1890s. These essays, along with family letters and the original diary entries, are included here for an uncommon glimpse into the life of a country doctor in nineteenth-century Arkansas.

Book excerpt: BACHELORS OF SHOTGUN RIDGE – BOOKS 1-3 From a USA Today and Wall Street Journal bestselling author of over 30 romance novels comes a series all about cowboys, community spirit and feel-good emotions. What do readers get with a Mindy Neff book? Small town romance filled with laughter and emotion, tough-guy heroes who are gentle and kind, and secondary characters—both human and animal—who help keep everyone stirred up! Books that touch your heart. Wanted: Women and Babies. Where: Shotgun Ridge, Montana. When: As soon as possible! Convincing this town’s perfectly happy, commitment-shy bachelor cowboys to say “I do” is going to take some doing. But the four well-meaning old matchmakers of Shotgun Ridge, Montana are up for the challenge—with some hilarious and emotional results. Book #1—THE RANCHER’S MAIL-ORDER BRIDE Wyatt Malone had been ambushed! The little boy staring earnestly at him thought Wyatt was his new dad—and the boy’s pregnant mommy claimed to be his bride-to-be. The old matchmakers had gone too far this time and now it was up to Wyatt to tell Hannah Richmond and her adorable son that they’d been had by four well-meaning old cowpokes. Except that when Hannah looked at him like he was the best thing since sliced bread and made him feel like a complete man, Wyatt began to think that maybe the old fellas were right—and that could be dangerous for the whole town! “A story full of heart and humor . . . vulnerable rancher Wyatt Malone will melt readers’ hearts.” –Romantic Time Magazine (4 ½ GOLD MEDAL) TOP PICK and W.I.S.H. award recipient for outstanding hero. Book #2—THE PLAYBOY’S OWN MISS PRIM The Playboy is a daddy! Wild horses couldn’t get wealthy horse breeder Ethan Callahan to settle down…but a bundle of baby could. Especially when the child was his—and was hand delivered by the preacher’s daughter! Good thing a full-grown woman came with the baby, because while Ethan was renowned for his know-how with females, he knew next to nothing about kids. Dora Watkins had specific instructions from her sweet charge’s mama to make certain Ethan would change his ways to care for his own. But the otherwise prim-and-proper Dora also wanted something in return from the playboy—a night in his arms. “With her flair for humor intact, Mindy Neff will once again delight.” –Romantic Times Magazine (4 ½ GOLD MEDAL) TOP PICK. Book #3—THE HORSEMAN’S CONVENIENT WIFE Not in name only . . .? Single father, horse whisperer, Stony Stratton was sure he was safe from the meddling matchmakers of Shotgun Ridge . . . until Eden Williams arrived on his ranch with an outrageous proposal. Eden had only six months to make a baby or forever hold her peace. Stony was just the man for the job. A gentle giant if there ever was one, he embodied all of the good qualities Eden hoped to pass on to her child—and possessed all of the male sex appeal a woman could want. Taking Eden to bed would be Stony’s pleasure, but he wouldn’t do it without taking her down the aisle first. “Stony Stratton is a hero who would make it onto any woman’s wish list . . . Mindy Neff masterfully blends humor with a romance that will melt your heart. What results is sheer delight.” –Romantic Times Magazine (4 ½ GOLD MEDAL) TOP PICK and W.I.S.H. award recipient for outstanding hero.

Download or read book Raised on Radio written by Gerald Nachman and published by Pantheon. This book was released on 2012-10-17 with total page 693 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For everybody "raised on radio"—and that's everybody brought up in the thirties, forties, and early fifties—this is the ultimate book, combining nostalgia, history, judgment, and fun, as it reminds us of just how wonderful (and sometimes just how silly) this vanished medium was. Of course, radio still exists—but not the radio of The Lone Ranger and One Man's Family, of Our Gal Sunday and Life Can Be Beautiful, of The Goldbergs and Amos 'n' Andy, of Easy Aces, Vic and Sade, and Bob and Ray, of The Shadow and The Green Hornet, of Bing Crosby, Kate Smith, and Baby Snooks, of the great comics, announcers, sound-effects men, sponsors, and tycoons. In the late 1920s radio exploded almost overnight into being America's dominant entertainment, just as television would do twenty-five years later. Gerald Nachman, himself a product of the radio years—as a boy he did his homework to the sound of Jack Benny and Our Miss Brooks—takes us back to the heyday of radio, bringing to life the great performers and shows, as well as the not-so-great and not-great-at-all. Nachman analyzes the many genres that radio deployed or invented, from the soap opera to the sitcom to the quiz show, zooming in to study closely key performers like Benny, Bob Hope, and Fred Allen, while pulling back to an overview that manages to be both comprehensive and seductively specific. Here is a book that is generous, instructive, and sinfully readable—and that brings an era alive as it salutes an extraordinary American phenomenon.

Download or read book The Father written by Alfred Habegger and published by Univ of Massachusetts Press. This book was released on 2001 with total page 592 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A biography of the passionate, contradictory father of William, Henry and Alice James. The author counters the popular view - a view that the James family perpetuated - that Henry James Sr was a benignant man who devoted himself to the good of his children, preached tolerance, and practised self-effacement. Instead, he shows us a man who developed a convoluted personal philosophy to account for his own feelings of pain and guilt, his conviction of his essential sinfulness and capacity for evil, and his fragile sense of self. The work sets Henry James Sr in the broader intellectual and cultural context of his age. As well as throwing light on the development of James's two sons, it is also a study of how families work.

Download or read book Seriously Funny written by Gerald Nachman and published by Pantheon. This book was released on 2009-08-26 with total page 688 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The comedians of the 1950s and 1960s were a totally different breed of relevant, revolutionary performer from any that came before or after, comics whose humor did much more than pry guffaws out of audiences. Gerald Nachman presents the stories of the groundbreaking comedy stars of those years, each one a cultural harbinger: • Mort Sahl, of a new political cynicism • Lenny Bruce, of the sexual, drug, and language revolution • Dick Gregory, of racial unrest • Bill Cosby and Godfrey Cambridge, of racial harmony • Phyllis Diller, of housewifely complaint • Mike Nichols & Elaine May and Woody Allen, of self-analytical angst and a rearrangement of male-female relations • Stan Freberg and Bob Newhart, of encroaching, pervasive pop media manipulation and, in the case of Bob Elliott & Ray Goulding, of the banalities of broadcasting • Mel Brooks, of the Yiddishization of American comedy • Sid Caesar, of a new awareness of the satirical possibilities of television • Joan Rivers, of the obsessive craving for celebrity gossip and of a latent bitchy sensibility • Tom Lehrer, of the inane, hypocritical, mawkishly sentimental nature of hallowed American folkways and, in the case of the Smothers Brothers, of overly revered folk songs and folklore • Steve Allen, of the late-night talk show as a force in American comedy • David Frye and Vaughn Meader, of the merger of showbiz and politics and, along with Will Jordan, of stretching the boundaries of mimicry • Shelley Berman, of a generation of obsessively self-confessional humor • Jonathan Winters and Jean Shepherd, of the daring new free-form improvisational comedy and of a sardonically updated view of Midwestern archetypes • Ernie Kovacs, of surreal visual effects and the unbounded vistas of video Taken together, they made up the faculty of a new school of vigorous, socially aware satire, a vibrant group of voices that reigned from approximately 1953 to 1965. Nachman shines a flashlight into the corners of these comedians’ chaotic and often troubled lives, illuminating their genius as well as their demons, damaged souls, and desperate drive. His exhaustive research and intimate interviews reveal characters that are intriguing and all too human, full of rich stories, confessions, regrets, and traumas. Seriously Funny is at once a dazzling cultural history and a joyous celebration of an extraordinary era in American comedy.
