Book Synopsis The Power of Good Deeds by : Diana Elizabeth Kendall
Download or read book The Power of Good Deeds written by Diana Elizabeth Kendall and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2002 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Power of Good Deeds allows us to see behind the media image of upper-class women and to observe how these women use their social power not only to benefit other, less-fortunate people, but also to benefit themselves and their families. The personal narratives of elite women as they describe their views on philanthropy, the need for exclusivity in their by-invitation-only volunteer organizations (such as the Junior League and The Links), their childhood experiences and college years in prestigious schools and sororities, and the debutante presentations and other upper-class rituals in which they participate are drawn from Kendall's ethnographic research. Participating in meetings and social functions with elite women in several Texas cities, along with conducting systematic interviews, the author gained unprecedented access to elite women across racial and ethnic categories. The Power of Good Deeds provides new insights and greater depth to our knowledge about the upper classes and how the charitable activities of privileged women contribute to the process of legitimation, maintaining an ideology of class-based and race-based segregation in the United States.

Download or read book One Good Deed written by David Baldacci and published by Grand Central Publishing. This book was released on 2019-07-23 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this fast-paced historical thriller, the #1 New York Times bestselling author introduces Archer, a WWII veteran forced to investigate a small-town murder -- or risk returning to prison. It's 1949. When war veteran Aloysius Archer is released from Carderock Prison, he is sent to Poca City on parole with a short list of do's and a much longer list of don'ts: do report regularly to his parole officer, don't go to bars, certainly don't drink alcohol, do get a job -- and don't ever associate with loose women. The small town quickly proves more complicated and dangerous than Archer's years serving in the war or his time in jail. Within a single night, his search for gainful employment -- and a stiff drink -- leads him to a local bar, where he is hired for what seems like a simple job: to collect a debt owed to a powerful local businessman, Hank Pittleman. Soon Archer discovers that recovering the debt won't be so easy. The indebted man has a furious grudge against Hank and refuses to pay; Hank's clever mistress has her own designs on Archer; and both Hank and Archer's stern parole officer, Miss Crabtree, are keeping a sharp eye on him. When a murder takes place right under Archer's nose, police suspicions rise against the ex-convict, and Archer realizes that the crime could send him right back to prison . . . if he doesn't use every skill in his arsenal to track down the real killer.
Download or read book In a Queer Place written by Kate Chedgzoy and published by Ashgate Publishing. This book was released on 2002 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How do lesbian, gay, and queer identities construct a relation to the institutions that are widely understood to form the basis of social belonging? Starting from diverse theoretical perspectives, the eleven essays in this volume further scholarly debate in the study of gender and sexuality by exploring the relation of non-hetero sexualities to the geographies, poetics and legalities of belonging.Queer studies emerged initially in academic and activist spheres in the US, and the field continues to be dominated by texts and experiences marked by those particular contemporary cultural contexts. By contrast, In a Queer Place shines fresh light on the very different locations of homo sexualities within British and European contexts, and thus represents an important extension of the scope of lesbian and gay studies. Each essay draws on multiple sources, including historical and legal documents, the texts of literature and popular culture, ethnographic writings, and personal experience.In their attention to cultural, historical and textual specifics, the contributors deploy significant new research to elaborate fresh understandings of key concerns in the study of the social meanings of gender and sexuality.

Book excerpt: Award-winning and New York Times bestselling author Laura Lippman’s Tess Monaghan—first introduced in the classic Baltimore Blues—becomes involved in a complicated investigation that will force her to question her loyalties. For Tess Monaghan, the unsolved murder of a young federal prosecutor is nothing more than a theoretical problem, one of several cases to be deconstructed in her new gig as a consultant to the local newspaper. But it becomes all too tangible when her boyfriend, Crow, brings home a young street kid who’s a juvenile con artist and who doesn’t even realize he holds an important key to the sensational homicide. Tess agrees to protect the boy’s identity no matter what, especially when one of his friends is killed in what appears to be a case of mistaken identity. But as she soon discovers, her ethical decision to protect him has dire consequences. And with federal agents determined to learn the boy’s name at any cost, Tess finds out just how far even official authorities will go to get what they want. It isn’t long before Tess finds herself facing felony charges. To make matters worse, Crow has gone into hiding with his young protégé. So Tess can’t deliver the kid to investigators even if she wants to. Now her only recourse is to get to the heart of the sordid and deadly affair while they're all still free...and still breathing.

Book Synopsis The Purpose Effect by : Dan Pontefract
Download or read book The Purpose Effect written by Dan Pontefract and published by Figure 1 Publishing. This book was released on 2018-06-08 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pontefract combines years of experience and research on employee engagement, behavior and culture to create a work about the three crucial areas of purpose: personal, organizational and workplace role. If all three can come to fruition--if there is a positive interconnection between the three distinct definitions of purpose--the benefits should be felt by employees, teams, the organization, customers, and perhaps most importantly, society as a whole. We can refer to this balanced state as the "sweet spot." When one area is lacking or ignored the results range from disengagement, apathy, lack of growth and even bankruptcy. The Purpose Effect is aimed at both leaders and employees who wish to achieve a purpose mindset on a personal level, for the organization where they are employed and in their role at work, too. A business leader that is committed to purpose will create purpose for the organization. An employee that feels his/her personal sense of purpose is being fulfilled at work will be an invaluable asset to productivity and success. An organization centered on purpose will benefit every stakeholder, from employees to society in general. This "sweet spot" of purpose creates a reciprocal relationship between all three areas and sits at the center of Pontefract's work.

Book Synopsis Dollars of Love by : Michael Hampson
Download or read book Dollars of Love written by Michael Hampson and published by . This book was released on 2021-12 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hello, this is Mikey and Elaine Hampson, parents to two wonderful boys and the founders of Dollars of Love. We wanted to tell each of you how proud we are of you for opening this book and taking the first step toward changing how the youth of today view the meaning of becoming rich. In this book, you will find everything you need to create an environment in your household, classroom, ball field - or anywhere for that matter - to empower young people to pursue love and good deeds first and, through first-hand experiences, teach them the power and concept of "when we give, we receive." From the time we are born, society slams down our throats that children need to pursue accolades and financial success; we are taught that these are life's most important treasures. Children start school, where good grades are treasured and winning awards are the focal point for anything they do, and they treasure these trophies. Our children are taught that good grades will lead to good colleges, and this, in turn, will result in a high-paying job where we can buy lots of things. To make matters worse, we make children perform chores for money so that they can buy things they treasure. What sort of pathways in their brains are we creating at such a young age? In our opinion, these pathways lead to selfishness instead of selflessness. It also hinders the pursuit of their higher calling, instead taught to suppress it to focus on society's harmful, generalized concept of treasure. We, as parents, decided that we did not want our children to grow up idolizing the treasures society tells us we need. They will have plenty of time to work and make money, but in our children's formidable years, we decided it was necessary to provide them with a foundation for pursuing love, kindness, and good deeds. Thus, the birth of Dollars of Love - a currency available to all walks of life, regardless of socioeconomic status. Dollars of Love is the most powerful kind of currency because it is earned through performing good deeds and actions of love. So, what, exactly, is a dollar of love? It is what your kids receive when they perform good deeds. At the end of the day, they will reflect upon each dollar of love earned and write on the back of it how it made them feel. At the end of the week, they can turn their dollars of love in for a prize. In the beginning, the prizes will reinforce their positive behavior, but as the weeks progress, the children will realize that the action of love earning them the dollar of love made them feel better than any prize they were awarded. This creates a pathway where it becomes second nature for the child to perform a good deed. It becomes a part of who they are. We also inadvertently came across the concept of saving the dollars of love and trading them for rewards of various sizes. This taught our children patience and fiscal responsibility, which are important later in life.
Book Synopsis The 48 Laws of Power by : Robert Greene
Download or read book The 48 Laws of Power written by Robert Greene and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2023-10-31 with total page 481 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Amoral, cunning, ruthless, and instructive, this multi-million-copy New York Times bestseller is the definitive manual for anyone interested in gaining, observing, or defending against ultimate control – from the author of The Laws of Human Nature. In the book that People magazine proclaimed “beguiling” and “fascinating,” Robert Greene and Joost Elffers have distilled three thousand years of the history of power into 48 essential laws by drawing from the philosophies of Machiavelli, Sun Tzu, and Carl Von Clausewitz and also from the lives of figures ranging from Henry Kissinger to P.T. Barnum. Some laws teach the need for prudence (“Law 1: Never Outshine the Master”), others teach the value of confidence (“Law 28: Enter Action with Boldness”), and many recommend absolute self-preservation (“Law 15: Crush Your Enemy Totally”). Every law, though, has one thing in common: an interest in total domination. In a bold and arresting two-color package, The 48 Laws of Power is ideal whether your aim is conquest, self-defense, or simply to understand the rules of the game.
