Download or read book The Big Out There a Buckaroo Life in Words and Art written by Brenda Negri and published by . This book was released on 2019-07-30 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In mid-1970's Brenda M. Negri quit a job as a gallop girl for Thoroughbreds at Oregon's Portland Meadows Race Track and headed east, determined to follow livelong obsessive as a working buckaroo. It was a time where women rarely if ever, were found buckaroo full time for a living unless they were born into a ranching family, dating a cowboy, or married into it. Negri had no such entrée through kin or insider connection. Alone, driving hundreds of miles while sleeping alone at night, she brazenly knocked on ranch doors asking and begging for a buckaroo job as she wandered across two states. Given a chance on a cattle feedlot in Idaho, from there she went on to work for ranches in Nevada, Oregon, Idaho and California. She knew, met, worked for and with legendary cowmen and buckaroos and a colorful cast of characters, some of who could have stepped out of the paces of a John Ford Western script or a Damon Runyon novel. The Big Out There: A Buckaroo Life in Words and Art is a nostalgic, gritty, titillating collection of vignettes, tributes and memories of life based on Negri's experiences with the people, the places and the mystique of a working buckaroo life. Documenting years Negri worked horses, cattle and ranches from 1977-1989 and beyond, accompanied by her whimsical sketches, The Big Out There reverently pays homage to a tough yet romantic, almost otherworldly time and the legendary people in it during the final years of big cow outfits running on the deserts and mountains. It is a rare peek into a place and a time, where working Vaqueros and buckaroos with "a flip kind of wildness" worked and roamed over the ION Country (Idaho, Oregon, Nevada) and the Pacific Slope of California. Negri's first book from September 17, 2018, The Way of The Pack: Understanding and Living With Livestock Guardian Dogs, has sold hundreds of copies; her book has been seen in movies, You Tubes, several magazines, international writings, numerous photographs and included in four famous dog films.

Download or read book Right Out of California written by Kathryn S. Olmsted and published by The New Press. This book was released on 2015 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a major reassessment of modern conservatism, noted historian Kathryn S. Olmsted reexamines the explosive labor disputes in the agricultural fields of Depression-era California, the cauldron that inspired a generation of artists and writers and that triggered the intervention of FDR's New Deal. Right Out of California tells how this brief moment of upheaval terrified business leaders into rethinking their relationship to American politics--a narrative that pits a ruthless generation of growers against a passionate cast of reformers, writers, and revolutionaries. Olmsted reveals how California's businessmen learned the language of populism with the help of allies in the media and entertainment industries, and in the process created a new style of politics: corporate funding of grassroots groups, military-style intelligence gathering against political enemies, professional campaign consultants, and alliances between religious and economic conservatives. The business leaders who battled for the hearts and minds of Depression-era California, moreover, would go on to create the organizations that launched the careers of Richard Nixon and Ronald Reagan. A riveting history in its own right, Right Out of California is also a vital chapter in our nation's political transformation whose echoes are still felt today.

Download or read book Out of Office written by Charlie Warzel and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2021-12-07 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “This book will challenge you to rethink what it takes to make remote work work—not just for companies, but for people.” —Adam Grant, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Think Again and host of the TED podcast WorkLife The future isn’t about where we will work, but how. For years we have struggled to balance work and life, with most of us feeling overwhelmed and burned out because our relationship to work is broken. This “isn't just a book about remote work. It's a book that helps us imagine a future where our lives—at the office and home—are happier, more productive, and genuinely meaningful” (Charles Duhigg, best-selling author of The Power of Habit). Out of Office is a book for every office worker – from employees to managers – currently facing the decision about whether, and how, to return to the office. The past two years have shown us that there may be a new path forward, one that doesn’t involve hellish daily commutes and the demands of jam-packed work schedules that no longer make sense. But how can we realize that future in a way that benefits workers and companies alike? Based on groundbreaking reporting and interviews with workers and managers around the world, Out of Office illuminates the key values and questions that should be driving this conversation: trust, fairness, flexibility, inclusive workplaces, equity, and work-life balance. Above all, they argue that companies need to listen to their employees – and that this will promote, rather than impede, productivity and profitability. As a society, we have talked for decades about flexible work arrangements; this book makes clear that we are at an inflection point where this is actually possible for many employees and their companies. Out of Office is about so much more than zoom meetings and hybrid schedules: it aims to reshape our entire relationship to the office.

Download or read book The Big Story written by Justin Buzzard and published by Moody Publishers. This book was released on 2013-05-15 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How would you explain your life to a stranger? When strangers meet today, they often ask not, "What do you do?" but, "What is your story?" Everybody on the planet believes some larger story in order to make sense of the smaller story of his or her life. We want our lives to fit within a larger plot—a plot full of history, forward movement, and future. So, the better question to ask is, "What sort of story are you in?" Most people believe false stories that leave them disillusioned, enslaved, and hopeless. Secular stories of chasing success and religious stories of doing good works leave us feeling exhausted and empty. Only Christianity offers a story that's big enough to make sense of both the beauty and brokenness in our lives and in our world.
