What does it take to be a modern-day hero?""I really wanted to show people you can win all kinds of ways. . . . For your faith to be more important than your job, for your family to be more important than that job . . . we all know that's the way it should be. . . . I'm not afraid to say it. " Tony DungyPeople of all ages crave heroes. But it's rare to find someone especially someone in the media spotlight like Tony Dungy whose life "and" work reflect positive, value-driven precepts.In Coach Dungy, many have found a role model. Sports fans admire the way he intensely pursues success without sacrificing his team members well-being. Parents point to his example when teaching their children about the importance of hard work, persistence, and graciousness whether they win or lose. Even his fiercest competitors acknowledge that Coach Dungy is a class act who knows how to get the job done and who keeps his priorities intact while he's do ing it.To all these people and more, Tony Dungy is a real-life hero one who teaches us about the importance of quiet strength, fierce determination, and a humble heart.He led his team to #1 in the world and showed the world a better way to live, lead, and succeed.When Tony Dungy led the Indianapolis Colts to victory in Super Bowl XLI and made history as the first African American coach to win the big game millions of people, amazed by the success of his quiet, authoritative leadership style, wondered: how does he get it done?In the pages of this fascinating memoir, Tony Dungy reveals the secrets to his success principles, practices, and priorities that have kept him on track despite overwhelming personal and professional obstacles, including firings, stereotypes, and the tragic loss of a child.In the face of so much adversity, Tony has not only survived but risen to the very top of his profession in a way that's won the respect of fans, players, and ev en his competitors. His thoughts on leading, succeeding, and attaining true significance will inspire you to take a long, hard look at the things that "really" matter in your own life.2008 Retailer's Choice Award winner!Tony Dungy's words and example have intrigued millions of people, particularly following his victory in Super Bowl XLI, the first for an African American coach. How is it possible for a coach―especially a football coach―to win the respect of his players and lead them to the Super Bowl without the screaming histrionics, the profanities, and the demand that the sport come before anything else? How is it possible for anyone to be successful without compromising faith and family? In this inspiring and reflective memoir, now updated with a new chapter, Coach Dungy tells the story of a life lived for God and family―and challenges us all to redefine our ideas of what it means to succeed. The softcover edition of this #1 New York Times best-seller includes a new chapter! In it, Coach reflects on the 2007 football season and last year's successful hardcover release of Quiet Strength. Also features a foreword by Denzel Washington and a 16-page color-photo insert. Over 1 million in print!

Great read about a man of faith, character and integrity. God first, family 2nd and still an amazing passion for football in 3rd place. A good example and mentor to anyone who aspires a balanced, joyous and productive life!He is AMAZING and has become somebody that I look up to ... This book simply tells the life of Tony Dungy. There is so much to be learned of his character. I wouldn't label it has a personal development book that gives you step by step instructions . You will simply learn from his example and the life he has life. He is AMAZING and has become somebody that I look up to and have a great appreciation for his character. Not a life changing book but i am super glad I read it and it added value into my life.Very readable, not just about football. Good material to discuss for "how to be a man and child of God." This is a very readable book, especially if you like sports. It claims to "not be all about football;" but that can be disputed unless you look deeper into the football stories.Tony gives a lot of autobiographical examples (mostly about sports); but he follows with what he learned and how the learning affected his parenting, coaching, and relationship to God.We are using this in a men's Sunday School class that is "discussion based." We are not limited by a strict weekly schedule that requires that we cover a chapter per week, etc. Thus we can stop and chew the nuggets that Tony gives us. We use them to discuss how we grow, mature, relate to God; and affect others.There is a Study Guide; but I find it less useful in our environment since we are used to picking items to plumb. For a group that wants a strict schedule and some help with prompting questions, get the Guide.

Title: Constitution of the United States (Little Books of Wisdom) Pdf
Author: Founding Fathers
Published Date: 1995-04-01
Page: 36

The complete text of the United States Constitution, including all of the amendments. This elegant edition is sure to be prized by Americans of all ages. Founding Fathers of the United States (also known as the Framers, Fathers of Our Country, or the Founders) are the political leaders who signed the Declaration of Independence or the United States Constitution, or otherwise participated in the American Revolution as leaders of the Patriots.

The landmark legal document of the United States, the U.S. Constitution comprises the primary law of the Federal Government. Signed by the members of the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia on September 17, 1787, the Constitution outlines the powers and responsibilities of the three chief branches of the Federal Government, as well as the basic rights of the citizens of the United States. This beautiful gift edition contains the complete text of the United States Constitution, as well as all of its amendments. It is a treasure for Americans of all ages.

This is what we are... I am ... This is what we are...I am placing this book in multiple book sharing boxes in my neighborhoods. I'm hoping to start a grass roots movement to protect this document; you... and by tangent, me. I'm neither gay, liberal, Republican, Democrat, Tea Party or Socialist; I just believe we are all speakers to our united belief of freedom. This document covers it all with very little words. The last amendment was in the 90's; to limit our elected officials from profit without our agreement. Please... lets keep our core beliefs simple and spread the simple belief of freedom close and far.Great copy Great book, very well made! It includes all of the amendments and the complete original constitution.works well when organizations have identified a mid-sized pool of respondent(s), such as a sitting President.... While some Presidents were not able to get past the 4th Amendment in their transition period briefings prior to taking office, I was able to read thru this glossy hardcover in a matter of hours. It is presented in an ordered, succinct, easy-to-follow format. Senators, Members of Congress and counsel who are “stretched for time,” since annotated versions read in conjunction with the US Code can be burdensome, will find this handy pocket version particularly useful.It also works well when organizations have identified a mid-sized pool of respondent(s), such as a sitting President, that require immediate attention under the 25th Amendment and whose staff and committee members need to easily evaluate a broad spectrum of Constitutional options at a high level. What struck me was the simplicity of the 25th Amendment and it's application to modern (2018) political discourse. I highly recommend this Constitution for everyone to read at least once....especially if you are going to later post your PhD doctoral thesis views via commentary on social media.

Capital Download

ISBN: 0140445684
Title: Capital Pdf Volume 1
Author: Karl Marx
Published Date: 1990
Page: 1152

Text: English, German (translation) Karl Marx was born in 1818 in Trier, Germany and studied in Bonn and Berlin. Influenced by Hegel, he later reacted against idealist philosophy and began to develop his own theory of historical materialism. He related the state of society to its economic foundations and mode of production, and recommended armed revolution on the part of the proletariat. Together with Engels, who he met in Paris, he wrote the Manifesto of the Communist Party. He lived in England as a refugee until his death in 1888, after participating in an unsuccessful revolution in Germany. Ernst Mandel was a member of the Belgian TUV from 1954 to 1963 and was chosen for the annual Alfred Marshall Lectures by Cambridge University in 1978. He died in 1995 and the Guardian described him as 'one of the most creative and independent-minded revolutionary Marxist thinkers of the post-war world.'

The first volume of a political treatise that changed the world

One of the most notorious works of modern times, as well as one of the most influential, Capital is an incisive critique of private property and the social relations it generates. Living in exile in England, where this work was largely written, Marx drew on a wide-ranging knowledge of its society to support his analysis and create fresh insights. Arguing that capitalism would cause an ever-increasing division in wealth and welfare, he predicted its abolition and replacement by a system with common ownership of the means of production. Capital rapidly acquired readership among the leaders of social democratic parties, particularly in Russia in Germany, and ultimately throughout the world, to become a work described by Marx friend and collaborator Friedrich Engels as “the Bible of the working class.”

For more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world. With more than 1,700 titles, Penguin Classics represents a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines. Readers trust the series to provide authoritative texts enhanced by introductions and notes by distinguished scholars and contemporary authors, as well as up-to-date translations by award-winning translators.

Great Read It is hard to write a small review. I can't put 100 pages of notes on this book. It is a book to help anyone understand how capital works. Volume two is more about the circulation process. Please read it and don't quit after chapter 3. It is a long book and it is somewhat complicated. David Harvey has written a companion to the book as well as he does a extensive reading of the book that is offered online for free. It can be obtained through Itunes and his website, davidharvey.org. You must read this book to understand a whole different form of thinking. Also for a thorough understanding of this book try to read Alexander Kojeve, Introduction to the Reading of Hegel: Lectures on Phenomenology of Spirit for a deep understanding of Marxism through a lens of Hegelian thought, Hegel was a teacher of Marx and Mar was a Hegelian thinker. If you are a historian you need to read Marx's work in order to be a better historian.Not a polemic but a keeper nonetheless There is an enormous collection of valuable information in volume 1 of Marx's Capital. Volume 1, moreover, serves very effectively as the first of three volumes in which Marx gives truly compelling evidence of his genius -- how else could one author come to terms with this massive account of the reality of capitalist production as Marx uniquely understands it? While it soon becomes abundantly clear that Marx was a master prose stylist, there is no mistaking the fact that he did not write for the ease and convenience of his readers. I can't imagine taking the full measure of this volume, much less the two volumes which follow, without the sustained help of explanatory material such as that provided by David Harvey, a veteran American academician who takes Marx very seriously indeed.Without question, even for exceptionally well informed and intellectually capable readers, this book is a bear. If you invest the substantialamount of time and prodigious effort needed to master it, you will definitely come to understand why Marxists become Marxists, and you may very well become one yourself. At the very least, you'll see the world differently, and you'll have a firmer grasp on the character of our contemporary world, not just its economic make-up, but in a socially expansive way. It's hard to imagine anyone reading the book carefully and with a modicum of understanding and coming away with the judgment that this is merely an ideologically motivated, long-winded exercise in willful self-deception and the deception of others. If you encounter someone who characterized Marx as a willfully wrong-headed ideologue, you may safely assume that you're dealing with someone who has not read Capital.Capital Volume 1 is, in fact, a richly informative and very difficult piece of world-class research. I imagine that most readers who take its full measure will come back to it again and again. I can't imagine doing justice to Capital Volume 1 without putting forth the kind of effort that makes for the creation of a life-long connection. Marx himself claims to have sacrificed his health, happiness, and family to writing the book. This has the pathetic sound of self-pitying exaggeration. But given what I know of Marx and the necessarily prodigious demands of the kind of work he produced, I'm sure he's being dispassionately truthful.You may be disappointed to find that Capital is much less polemical than it is rigorously analytical. That was my first response. For the long term, however, I realized the book is a keeper, and I acknowledged that I'd have to look elsewhere for a call-to-arms that is not also embedded in massive learning. It's true, of course that Marx was an active professional revolutionary, but he was also a world-class scholar with a prodigiously cultivated mind. Reading Marx makes me want to spend a year or two in the library of the British Museum, where Marx did his best scholarship.Marx and Charles Darwin exchanged fairly frequent correspondence. Everyone knows that Darwin transformed our understanding of the world and our place in it. Much the same is true of Marx's contribution to human knowledge. It's interesting to acknowledge that social and religious conservatism were barriers to the rightful dissemination of both. That Marx maintained an ongoing relationship with others of undeniable genius, such as Darwin, bespeaks Marx's own intellectual prowess and reflects his status as a wonderfully original thinker. In his own authentic way, Marx was at least as much a brilliant scientist as Darwin. Darwin changed the way we thought about ourselves, but Marx changed the way we live.Cheap publisher, awkward layout, I didn't even receive the entire book This review is not about the contents of this book, but rather the quality of this particular version I stupidly bought. I mean, it's laid out like someone just copy and pasted the text, printed and bound it as cheaply as possible. There is no copy right information or publisher listed anywhere, no table of contents, and it's overall just awkwardly laid out. The cherry on top is that I didn't even receive the complete book, it just abruptly stops mid sentence and the last few sections are missing completely. Absolute garbage, please don't buy this version. Amazon needs to have a little bit of quality control with the products they sling because this isn't even a legitimate publication.

Title: After the Eclipse Pdf

A New York Times Book Review Editors’ Choice | A Barnes & Noble Discover Pick | A BookPage Best Book of the Year | A Poets & Writers Notable Nonfiction Debut of the Year
 
“Stunning . . . A graceful and powerful memorial.”—Entertainment Weekly
 
“Raw and perfect.”—Laura Miller, Slate
 
When Sarah Perry was twelve, she saw a partial eclipse; she took it as a good omen for her and her mother, Crystal. But that moment of darkness foreshadowed a much larger one: two days later, Crystal was murdered in their home in rural Maine.
            It took twelve years to find the killer. In that time, Sarah rebuilt her life amid abandonment, police interrogations, and the exacting toll of trauma. She dreamed of a trial, but when the day came, it brought no closure. It was not her mother’s death she wanted to understand, but her life. She began her own investigation, one that drew her back to Maine, deep into the darkness of a small American town. A memoir of “unerring power and hard-won wisdom” and a “tender elegy”* for a mother lost, with After the Eclipse “Perry succeeds in restoring her mother’s humanity and her own” (New York Times Book Review).

* Margo Jefferson
 

This book is about continued love and sacrifice between a mother and daughter This book is about continued love and sacrifice between a mother and daughter, and keeping Crystal's memory alive beyond the horrors of her death. It also recognizes the extensive impact that violence against women has on entire families and communities - and above all, how humans (in this case, Sarah) have incredible capacity for strength, resiliency, and healing- even in the absence of closure.As a prior elementary school classmate of Sarah's, this book helped me to process many of the lingering questions that I had about her mother's death, and to gain further insight into what happened to Sarah in the years following (as I don't recall her classmates getting much info on where she went after she left our school).As with others from Bridgton at the time, I will never forget the moment when I learned about Crystal's murder, having an overwhelming concern for Sarah and the long road ahead for justice.We needed this book as much as I imagine Sarah needed to write it.Don't be put off by the dark subject matter. This book is full of hope. Don't be put off by the dark subject matter. Perry has taken a story that would have been an unmitigated tragedy in other hands and infused it with warmth, light, and humanity. I'm surprised others have said it's a hard read because page after page I couldn't believe how full of hope this book was. It’s a story about the challenges and hard-won victories of the working poor, about the decisions strong women make under the most unsympathetic circumstances, and the way family ties break down and rebuild in the aftermath of a tragedy.Perry is both clear-eyed but compassionate toward the people in her book, including the men who passed in and out of her and her mother’s life even as she critiques the way misogyny contributes to violence against women. I’m stunned at how an author who has lived through such darkness has managed to write with such generosity toward so many. I'm stunned at how simultaneously authentic and gentle she is with her readers.Like Perry, I grew up poor, in rural Maine. It’s a place I worked hard to escape. And yet this book filled me with aching homesickness for both the people and landscape of my childhood. I couldn't put it down.Read this exceptional book. It’s timely. It’s wonderful.Tragically beautiful This is the most tragic beautifully written true crime story I have ever read. It has touched me so strongly I think about the author and her struggles days after finishing. The authors descriptions of Maine are right on target (tree branches cracking with ice). Memories return as I grew up in a Maine small town. Shortly before I moved from the state a women I knew was murdered in a room over a bar then deposited in the Kennebec river. Just as Sarah Perry writes about her mother being judged and criticized for her behavior so was the woman I knew. Appalling that some will judge a human life worthless..

White Fragility Free Pdf

ISBN: 0807047414
Title: White Fragility Pdf Why It's So Hard for White People to Talk About Racism
Author: Robin J. DiAngelo
Published Date: 2018
Page: 169

“The value in White Fragility lies in its methodical, irrefutable exposure of racism in thought and action, and its call for humility and vigilance.”—The New Yorker“[T]houghtful, instructive, and comprehensive . . . This slim book is impressive in its scope and complexity; DiAngelo provides a powerful lens for examining, and practical tools for grappling with, racism today.”—Publishers Weekly, Starred Review“White Fragility is a book everyone should be exposed to. With any luck, most who are will be inspired to search themselves and interrupt their contributions to racism.”—Shelf Awareness, Starred Review“A valuable guide . . . While especially helpful for those new to the critical analysis of whiteness, this work also offers a useful refresher to anyone committed to the ongoing process of self-assessment and anti-oppression work.”—Library Journal“A penetrating new book.”—Pacific Standard“A vital, necessary, and beautiful book, a bracing call to white folk everywhere to see their whiteness for what it is and to seize the opportunity to make things better now.”—Michael Eric Dyson“As a woman of color, I find hope in this book because of its potential to disrupt the patterns and relationships that have emerged out of long-standing colonial principles and beliefs. White Fragility is an essential tool toward authentic dialogue and action. May it be so!”—Shakti Butler, president of World Trust and director of Mirrors of Privilege: Making Whiteness Visible“A rare and incisive examination of the system of white body supremacy that binds us all as Americans. . . . With authenticity and clarity, she provides the antidote to white fragility and a road map for developing white racial stamina and humility. White Fragility loosens the bonds of white supremacy and binds us back together as human beings.”—Resmaa Menakem, author of My Grandmother’s Hands and Rock the Boat“As powerful forces of white racism again swell, DiAngelo invites white progressives to have a courageous conversation about their culture of complicity. . . . White Fragility provides important antiracist understanding and essential strategies for well-intentioned white people who truly endeavor to be a part of the solution.”—Glenn E. Singleton, author of Courageous Conversations About Race“Robin DiAngelo demonstrates an all-too-rare ability to enter the racial conversation with complexity, nuance, and deep respect. Her writing establishes her mastery in accessing the imaginal, metaphoric mind where the possibility for transformation resides. With an unwavering conviction that change is possible, her message is clear: the incentive for white engagement in racial justice work is ultimately self-liberation.”—Leticia Nieto, coauthor of Beyond Inclusion, Beyond Empowerment“White fragility is the secret ingredient that makes racial conversations so difficult and achieving racial equity even harder. But by exposing it and showing us all—including white folks—how it operates and how it hurts us, individually and collectively, Robin DiAngelo has performed an invaluable service. An indispensable volume for understanding one of the most important (and yet rarely appreciated) barriers to achieving racial justice.”—Tim Wise, author of White Like Me: Reflections on Race from a Privileged Son“Robin DiAngelo’s White Fragility brings language to the emotional structures that make true discussions about racial attitudes difficult. With clarity and compassion, DiAngelo allows us to understand racism as a practice not restricted to ‘bad people.’ In doing so, she moves our national discussions forward with new ‘rules of engagement.’ This is a necessary book for all people invested in societal change through productive social and intimate relationships.”—Claudia Rankine Robin DiAngelo is an academic, lecturer, and author and has been a consultant and trainer on issues of racial and social justice for more than twenty years. She formerly served as a tenured professor of multicultural education at Westfield State University.

The New York Times best-selling book exploring the counterproductive reactions white people have when their assumptions about race are challenged, and how these reactions maintain racial inequality.

In this “vital, necessary, and beautiful book” (Michael Eric Dyson), antiracist educator Robin DiAngelo deftly illuminates the phenomenon of white fragility and “allows us to understand racism as a practice not restricted to ‘bad people’ (Claudia Rankine). Referring to the defensive moves that white people make when challenged racially, white fragility is characterized by emotions such as anger, fear, and guilt, and by behaviors including argumentation and silence. These behaviors, in turn, function to reinstate white racial equilibrium and prevent any meaningful cross-racial dialogue. In this in-depth exploration, DiAngelo examines how white fragility develops, how it protects racial inequality, and what we can do to engage more constructively.

if someone wants to be your friend – let them. I am very reluctant to give a negative review, especially when the author is trying to be helpful. In places the author has correctly diagnosed a number of genuine problems.Merely being non-racist isn’t good enough, because you end up as a bystander when a bully is beating up on a victim; both covering your eyes and ears and refusing to acknowledge what the victim (of racism) is telling you is happening to them.If you haven’t been a victim you cannot fully understand being a victim. If you haven’t experienced the pervasiveness and constancy of negative bias both coming from other groups and even influencing your own view of yourself – then you will never completely comprehend. So in one respect a white person cannot truly say, “I get it.”Neither can you ever do enough to win a gold star and say you’ve done “enough” as long as racism exists.It’s like the Talmudic maxim: “you will never finish perfecting the world, but you are never free to stop trying.”If the book stopped there, it would be fine. Perhaps even excellent.But I give this book one star because it makes the problem worse.This book is like a bad date where the other person is accusing you of all of your failures, and when you try to make up, to do better, to understand more, to be fully engaged as an ally, you are continually pushed away.And then you are told to “breathe” and calm down. Surely you are getting upset and proving the thesis!Except that’s not what’s happening.Yes, whites don’t see racism because they aren’t a target of it. If you aren’t a racist, then you don’t hang around racists. And if you aren’t black then you don’t have it hurled in your face. 99% of the problem is created by 1% of whites who other whites don’t see.The same would be true for misogyny. 99% of rapes are caused by 1% of perps, and the 99% of innocent men don’t see it because the perps aren’t harassing them.So men need to listen without being defensive. Whites need to listen without being defensive. It’s wrong to say, “But I’m not doing it” as if that will make it go away.But it’s also wrong to say that the non-harassing men or the non-harassing whites are guilty BECAUSE of their innocence.No, they aren’t being bad. They are being clueless. And instead of being accused they need to be engaged.Especially when they WANT to listen and be helpful.In short, if someone wants to be your friend – let them.This book doesn’t invite engagement and doesn’t let the non-involved to become involved in affirmatively fighting racism. It turns a lot of would be allies away.Ultimately, it’s self defeating.We need more people aware of racism. We need more people fighting racism. We need the majority engaged in helping the minority, rather than being turned away.I’d give this book five stars if it were half as long. But it’s the flawed existentialism that makes this book a hindrance to people who should be friends, and would be friends, if they were allowed to be.This book changed my life I'm African-American and this book has changed my life. I can't even put it into words. So many things but one passage about white solidarity (I won't say what it is, because I don't want to spoil the book) sticks out because it left me in tears; I had seen what DiAngelo described as "white solidarity" all through my adult life but had no words or validation on what this was until reading this book. I cried because it brought up an past issue where I was accused of being "aggressive" simply for articulating a counter point-of-view and that accusation had serious consequences. The "racial triggers for white people" was, by far, the most informative chapter for me. If I had known about this before, I could've used that knowledge and changed the trajectory of my life. I cannot recommend this book enough. My only small, frivolous, insignificant, petulant quibble is that there isn't an index, so I'm rereading it again with a highlighter. Thank you for what you do.Unfortunately insipid and presumptuous on timely subject According to this author, those that are identified as white (not necessarily those who identify AS white) are guilty of racism and must be prepared to be tongue-lashed by her. It is curious that somehow denigrating a person by their skin color is not racist when done by a person of the same appearance. It is a popular book for those that need more of a reason to feel bad about themselves.Ironically, the subject is timely and through reading other sources of information on institutionalized racism, I have noticed many examples of this. The articles were well written and effective in that I was not made to feel that anything I did or said was automatically suspect and therefore invalid. A state of paralysis is not one from which change can occur.
