Book excerpt: A new edition of a sports icon's memoir, coinciding with the 50th anniversary of Kathrine Switzer's historic running of the Boston Marathon as the first woman to run. In 1967, Kathrine Switzer was the first woman to officially run what was then the all-male Boston Marathon, infuriating one of the event's directors who attempted to violently eject her. In one of the most iconic sports moments, Switzer escaped and finished the race. She made history-and is poised to do it again on the fiftieth anniversary of that initial race, when she will run the 2017 Boston Marathon at age 70. Now a spokesperson for Reebok, Switzer is also the founder of 261 Fearless, a foundation dedicated to creating opportunities for women on all fronts, as this groundbreaking sports hero has done throughout her life. "Kathrine Switzer is the Susan B. Anthony of women's marathoning."-Joan Benoit Samuelson, first Olympic gold medalist in the women's marathon

Download or read book Julian Assange written by Julian Assange and published by Canongate Books. This book was released on 2011-09-22 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In December 2010, Julian Assange signed a contract with Canongate Books to write a book – part memoir, part manifesto – for publication the following year. At the time, Julian said: ‘I hope this book will become one of the unifying documents of our generation. In this highly personal work, I explain our global struggle to force a new relationship between the people and their governments.’ In the end, the work was to prove too personal. Despite sitting for more than fifty hours of taped interviews and spending many late nights at Ellingham Hall (where he was living under house arrest) discussing his life and the work of WikiLeaks with the writer he had enlisted to help him, Julian became increasingly troubled by the thought of publishing an autobiography. After reading the first draft of the book at the end of March, Julian declared: ‘All memoir is prostitution.’ In June 2011, with thirty-eight publishing houses around the world committed to releasing the book, Julian told us he wanted to cancel his contract. We disagree with Julian’s assessment of the book. We believe it explains both the man and his work, underlining his commitment to the truth. Julian always claimed the book was well written; we agree, and this also encouraged us to make the book available to readers. And the contract? By the time Julian wanted to cancel the deal he had already used the advance money to settle his legal bills. So the contract still stands. We have decided to honour it – and to publish. This book is the unauthorised first draft. It is passionate, provocative and opinionated – like its author. It fulfils the promise of the original proposal and we are proud to publish it. Canongate Books, September 2011

Book excerpt: "Ari Galper's Unlock The Game is the greatest sales breakthrough in the last 20 years." Brian Tracy, Founder of Brian Tracy International Stop selling, start creating trust. If you flick through the pages of typical sales books and sales training material, you will find a constant flow of sales messages like, "Focus on closing the sale", "Overcome objections", "Be relentless", "Accept rejection as a normal part of selling", "Use persuasion to get useful information about your prospects", and "Chase the sale". In short, get the sale at the expense of the human relationship. For the customer, this approach is transparent and all too familiar. Crossing social boundaries and adding pressure to the sales process makes it a gut-wrenching and painful process. There is a much better way to succeed in selling - moving away from the hidden agenda of focusing on making the sale to a place of complete trust and authenticity. When you arrive at this place, it opens up a whole new world of sales opportunities for you and your business. In other words, when you stop "selling" and start building authentic relationships based on trust, authenticity and integrity, the possibilities are endless. Ari Galper, The World's #1 Authority on Trust-Based Selling, and founder of Unlock The Game, the most successful trust-based selling approach adopted by thousands of business owners and sales consultants worldwide, has dramatically changed the way millions of sales transactions are made today. In his new book "Unlock The Sales Game", he directly challenges all the selling "rules" that are considered status quo thinking among most small and large businesses and provides a new and authentic sales mindset -- along with his very powerful trust-based languaging -- that is taking the sales world by storm. Here's a sampling of what you'll discover: Seven Ways to Cut Loose from Old Sales Thinking How to Sales Call Using Your Right Brain - So You Can Make Selling Enjoyable and Productive Seven Steps to Selling Follow-Up Seven Ways to Stop Chasing Decision Makers How to Recognise and Diffuse Hidden Pressures in Selling The Surprising Truth About Selling - Three Selling Myths and Why They Hurt You No More Selling Scripts?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The lives of the Saints are one of the most powerful ways God draws people to himself, showing us the love and the joy we can find in him. But so often, these Saints seem distant—impossibly holy or dull or unlike us in race and age and state in life. In Saints Around the World, you’ll meet over one-hundred Saints from more than sixty countries, including Saints with different disabilities, strengths, and struggles. The beautiful illustrations and captivating storytelling will introduce you and your children to new heavenly friends while also helping you fall more in love with Jesus. Each story in this book is written not only to capture the imagination but also to speak about God’s tremendous love and our call to be saints. There are stories in Saints Around the World for when you feel like life isn’t fair, when people are being unkind to you, when you’ve made a terrible mistake, when you’re struggling at school, when prayer is hard. And there are stories of shouting down Nazis, of fleeing a murderous villain, of making scientific discoveries, of smoking a cigar while enemy soldiers amputate your leg. There are scared Saints, brilliant Saints, weak Saints, adventurous Saints, abused Saints, overjoyed Saints, disabled Saints—and the point of every one of them is the love of God. Whether you’re checking the map to find Saints who look like you or perusing the extensive indices to find Saints with your skills or struggles, you’ll find countless stories in this book that remind you how very possible holiness is.
