Book excerpt: The Unyielding Roots: What is Your Hair Story? collection is a community-made space. It exists to highlight the spectrum of experiences, feelings, wants, and needs surrounding our crowns. It strives to destigmatize centuries of programmed self-hate towards our hair textures by allowing us to be the sole narrators of our stories. Dive into these tales of kinks and curls and come out inspired to tell your own: the hair you've loved, resented, lost and even rebirthed.Leija Farr, the first Seattle Youth Poet Laureate?The Unyielding Roots: What is Your Hair Story? collection is so needed and a beautiful gift to Black women everywhere. I love the wide range of voices and experiences. Kiana Davis has gifted us with the experiences of close to one hundred Black women and their relationships with their hair. There is something magical that happens as you read the collection, and you see yourself reflected through other people's stories. Davis gives us renewed strength and courage to resist the narrative of what we've been told it means to be beautiful.Dr. Caprice D. Hollins, Psy.D confounder of Cultures Connecting, LLC

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A world-shaping event revives old favorites, introduces new complications—and moves hero Drizzt Do'Urden into a restored era of the Forgotten Realms Alone and with his fate hanging in the balance, Drizzt Do'Urden reflects on the lives of the trusted allies who stood by his side throughout his early life—the friends now known as the Companions of the Hall. Unbeknownst to him, the goddess Mielikki has given Bruenor, Catti-brie, Regis, and Wulfgar the chance to return to the world they left behind. Reborn as children but with their memories still intact, the friends must find a way back to one another—and to their lone Companion, Drizzt. Meanwhile, three seemingly unrelated commoners, growing up across the far reaches of the Forgotten Realms, display incredible feats of power. Against all odds, they hold the fate of Drizzt Do'Urden in their hands—a fate that is far from certain. For in the shadows, a cunning cabal of wizards is watching, intent on hunting the "Chosen" mortals who have been blessed by the gods. These wizards know something mere commoners do not: Long-forgotten gods have begun to stir. Long-lost lands have begun to tremble. The world around them is about to change—and these wizards will do whatever it takes to turn the coming chaos to their advantage. The Companions is the first book in the Sundering series and the twenty-seventh book in the Legend of Drizzt series.

Download or read book Travels in the Middle Land written by Ajahn Sucitto and published by Manhandle Press Limited. This book was released on 2014-08-31 with total page 311 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Theravada monks of the forest tradition, such as those in the monasteries of Cittaviveka and Amaravati in the South East of England, (where the author has been based since 1979), remove themselves from all attachments: to place, to belongings and, most importantly, to states of mind. They spend much of their time isolated in forests, but they also wander from place to place to both support their own practice and let their example be known. In this book, the places the author travels through are both physical and spiritual; the poems present them as blending. In the author's view, living in the present moment means that where a body and mind meet this very earth there is a place of awakening, mystery and beauty. This book is offered free by the author, and the publishers warrant that they will make no profit from the sale of this work. Travels in the Middle Land has been placed here as a gift from Manhandle Press Limited and as such the contents are unabridged and unedited.

Download or read book Leadership at the Crossroads written by Joanne B. Ciulla and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2008-10-30 with total page 963 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is leadership? Not only has that question been debated since the beginning of human culture and society, but it's a moving target based on the definer, and the epoch. The definition can be thought-provoking and profound: A leader is best when people barely know he exists, not so good when people obey and acclaim him, worse when they despise him, (Lao Tzu, 6th century BC ). Or the profundity may lie shrouded in the prosaic: A leader is one who has followers, (Peter Drucker, 20th century). However you define the concept, today's challenges for leaders of all stripes are monumental, and the need for effective leadership is huge. More than anything, this set travels farther and digs deeper than most leadership books. It takes us from mere explanations of leadership to an understanding of it as part of the human condition. Reading it should be at the top of the to-do list for any leader in any era. In Leadership at the Crossroads, contributors from a wide variety of fields, including management, economics, political science, philosophy, sociology, history, literature, and psychology, explore the many facets of leadership. The set comprises: Volume 1: Leadership and Psychology; Volume 2: Leadership and Politics; Volume 3: Leadership and the Humanities. Collectively, this set showcases traditional and emerging approaches to leadership in both theory and practice and raises new questions brought on by society's new challenges. It also suggests solutions for developing and promoting leadership in the corporate world, politics and diplomacy, religion, education, non-profits, and the arts. Whether identifying qualities that will serve a U.S. president well, or the characteristics of the essential can-do supervisor in today's corporation, Leadership at the Crossroads supplies insights and intelligence that will help leaders make the most of the challenges and opportunities lying before them.

Download or read book The Great Apparitions of Mary written by Ingo Swann and published by Swann-Ryder Productions, LLC. This book was released on 2018-09-02 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Great apparitions -- starting with Guadeloupe in 1531 -- occur with a steady and increasing drumbeat across the decades and centuries. The places and the principals involved change, but the messages calling people to turn from lives of violence and sin and to seek repentance are remarkably similar. By focusing on the most widely known and documented appearances and presenting them in chronological order, the events and the messages emerge in a powerful way. Swann shows how advances in science have placed the apparitions in a more intriguing light. One of the historic challenges concerning them was how could something which was not there be there in a way that registered on the eye mechanisms. The discovery of holography, where images that appear to be three-dimensional having bulk, shape and mass, images that can even be photographed, has provided an analogy that enlarges our perception of the physical laws and challenges the skeptics' verdict of hallucination. Catholic or not, religious or not, believer or not, this fascinating and compelling account of the appearances of Mary challenges readers to reflect on the messages and their possible consequences for our civilization and for our future.

Book excerpt: "Beware the Boar who is slow to anger." So declares the Teaching. And now the War Pigs, a race of half-human half-pigs, are ready to march. After decades of internment in the Mojave, they have a mission: to arm themselves and blow up Los Angeles. Thus begin the adventures of Overlord, Wart Hog, Xerxes, Sergeant Snout, Socko, McPork, Tusker, Brunhilde and the Swine Maidens, and the entire War Pig army, as well as the bus-full of Las-Vegas-bound tourists that they capture on their way to I-95. Their first destination: Wild Bill Snopes' Mojave Military Academy, the U.S. government's main storage depot for retired weapons. Next, the desert town of Nitro, where the law requires all citizens to carry guns, followed by an assault on the Doom Valley Airport. And then on to Los Angeles itself, the San Cochino nuclear facility, and a climactic pitched battle with Valley shoppers and the U.S. Army at the Sherman Oaks Galleria. At the action's core is the unrequited love of Wart Hog for Astrid, one of the human captives. When she escapes, his pursuit leads him through the streets of Hollywood to a personal Armageddon on the nighttime Fourth-of-July beach at Santa Monica.
