In a war in which more than a quarter million boys age seventeen and under fought in the opposing armies, Journey Into Darkness, a researched blend of fact and fiction, is about a young boy in the Civil War. Written specially for students, enjoyed by adults as well, it takes the student reader into the events of the war through the experience of a peer. Originally published in four books at the request of a young reader on behalf of others who don't like thick books. "This would be an excellent resource for middle school American history classes, giving a boy's-eye view of the Civil War and reminding students that kids their own age were caught up in active duty during the war." - Blue Ink Review
"Tell them what you want is an inspirational coming-of-age story of an African-American girl (Bernie) growing up amidst the immense local and national social turmoil of the 1950s to mid 1980s. Her journey begins in an abusive stepfathers 'devil house' and ends in personal and professional triumphs that seemed destined to be out of reach. Sent as a 'state kid' to a south-west Ohio college town, Bernie confronts both personal and institutional obstacles with youthful naivety and determination. A teenage mother intent on protecting self and son, Bernie encounters many interesting and provocative people, some who put financial, educational, physical, and social obstacles in her way. Others mentor her through the racism, sexism, and politics of the time. A combination of drama and humor, Tell them what you want is a story of losing and finding family, of relationships good and bad, acts of heroism large and small, and finally of an adult woman's commitment to a future of protecting the little girl inside her who simply won't let go"--Back cover.

"In this book, a master of optimal performance becomes a student of optimal performance. If you want to understand and create excellence in a human collective, this volume is a precious gift. Cherish it, and it will take you where conventional minds cannot go." -PROFESSOR ROBERT E. QUINNUniversity of Michigan, Center for Positive OrganizationsPeople want to be masters of their own destiny, but few become great leaders. As continuous improvement and breakthroughs have driven innovation, technology, and civilizations forward for centuries, worker motivations have changed. We want authentic connection, work-life balance, and intrinsic purpose now more than ever. How can we weave foundational, people-driven attributes like hard work, initiative, and cooperation into a team, group, or organization's internal structure so it can thrive sustainably? We all want a dream team-built with and by members that are always in the zone, utilize seamless communication strategies, work with an openness and willingness to play toward everyone's strengths, and have boundless creativity. This is rarely, if ever, the case. Studies have shown time and time again that forging a culture of trust, collaboration, and deep concern for others produces remarkable outcomes. But people are often blinded by the negatives, and may forget to look to the future with hope, respect, and positivity.David Drews doesn't offer miracle solutions to your leadership challenges, because there are none. Leadership, good leadership, is hard-won and consciously maintained. It's built on self-discipline, concentration, and empathy. And it all starts with a positive mindset. Adopting the learnings of Positive Organizational Scholarship, a step-by-step philosophy for leaders to build effective teams and organizations, goes a long way in increasing productivity, optimizing every person's performance, and avoiding both leadership and employee burnout. Teamflow builds the habits that lead to better solutions, better workplaces, and better results-achieving IMPACT.

A different perspective on America's history as told by immigrants to the U.S. who left their home countries to pursue life, liberty, and a dream of happiness. Immigrants who have lived under varying degrees of socialism, communism, or dictatorships, and many of whom lived through conditions and horrors that most Americans thankfully will never experience. These are heartfelt stories from average men and women who do not take freedom for granted.This thought-provoking compilation was born of a desire to portray what these hope-filled people experienced, and illustrate what Dr. Kathleen S. Roos sees as deleterious actions of some in our own government for political power and not the betterment of the country or its people. Far beyond the rhetoric of blustery sound bites and agenda maneuvering, these simple, emotional stories illustrate the important human journey that accompanies each and every immigrant who reaches our county.Knowledge of these impactful stories will encourage readers to delve deeper into our history, and to stop believing everything they are told but rather to educate themselves about the promises and rhetoric made by both politicians and activists in this country today. As Country Singer/Song Writer John Rich and Commentator, Candace Owens state: "Experience outweighs your opinion."

Embark on a powerful journey through the darkness into the beauty and peace of the light.Told with poignant, passionate prose that seems like conversational poetry and reflects universal themes of love, life, sorrow, joy and gratitude, AN AFFAIR IN THE VALLEY: A COLLECTION OF POEMS forms a powerful and moving testament to the world with her great people. Echoing author Steve Jackson's journey through hardship and darkness, this exquisite collection explores both the dark and the light, from sorrow to rapture, and his ascent to a place of peace.Steve sees the light because he's felt the darkness, living for months out of his pickup with no end in sight. But through this, he was liberated and delivered to witness the beauty of life around him, a life where people climb from sorrow's abyss to stand on love's common ground, the world, home in the stars. AN AFFAIR IN THE VALLEY is passionate poetry about openings, opening the door to home, to the greatness of a strong heart with room for others and strength to share laughter and tears. These thoughts and stories have been scraped off the wall of Steve's everyday life and carefully sifted through an exquisite prism of awareness. Steve sees the morning because he's lived through and felt the darkness. He's heard a hundred silent doors slam behind him. But there is no bitterness here. His conversational poetry is an accessible, glowing testament of a conscientious witness with an uncanny knack for isolating precise words and the exact inflection of a moment, which he freezes into language that allows a reader to extract poetry's purest essence.If Dante's Inferno is a guided descent into the hideous abyss, AN AFFAIR IN THE VALLEY: A COLLECTION OF POEMS is the reverse, an ascendance into light and the lightness of being, an affirmation that "This is your home, the universe. The universe loves you."

"I had been passed many times to different heads, yet had seldom found one that I felt really comfortable on."About forty years ago, everything changed. I found myself upon a head that I had a close affinity with and I found myself seeing, hearing, smelling much through this young man, Al - and even picking up on his emotions and thoughts."I was lost then for several years, stored in a cupboard until, once again, I found myself on Al's head and now I can tell my tales. "Al and I spent some nine months together on our first trip, visiting many big cities and several small villages, in eight countries, all different, all new to myself and my new head - an adventure of a lifetime. "I sat on Al's head and witnessed all sorts of strange places and events while we travelled to India and then to the UK. "When Al arrived back in the UK, he was quite ill, having suffered from a problem called Infectious Hepatitis and also dysentery. Al went to his parent's house in Wales and then to hospital. But after he was in that hospital, I was never on his head so often."I didn't know what was happening. Why was Al leaving me? How long was I to be here? What would become of me now? Would I get a new head? Would I get more adventures? Would I be treasured or neglected?"Then one day, Al took me out of my box and put me back on his head. "That is how I came to find myself back on Al's head. I have been on and off Al's head for about forty years and now I can tell my tales. We have done a lot of travelling over those forty years."

This book is written by the author of best-seller Airships R-100 and R-101.Version 2 ** Updated December 15, 2023**Grammarly 99 %French version (4.5 stars).General Italo Balbo piloted one of 25 seaplanes that made up an Italian Regia Aeronautica transatlantic journey in 1933 from Orbetello, Italy, to the Century of Progress International Exposition in Chicago, Illinois. The voyage was well received in many nations, but especially in the United States, where Balbo and his fleet earned the nickname "Italian Air Armada." Balbo saw the mission as a trailblazing move toward commercial flights over the Atlantic since it was a public relations victory for Fascist Italy. Balbo received a gold key to the city of Chicago as well as entrance into the Sioux tribe as the "Chief Flying Eagle". When the Italian fleet arrived in New York City, it was welcomed by millions of people, and Balbo was invited to lunch with President Roosevelt. The city of New York organized a parade in honor of Balbo. BibliographyANIANTE, Antonio. Italo Balbo, maréchal de l'Air, Grasset, 1933.Anonymous, Official Book of the Flight of Gen.
