Why We Need Superheroes
Comic books and superhero stories mirror essential societal values and beliefs. We can be Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Spider-Man, Black Panther or Rocket Raccoon through our everyday choices. We can't fly, fix hyper drives or hear human heartbeats a mile away, but we can think about what Matt Murdock would do in a conflict, how Superman would respond to natural disasters and how Captain America would handle humanitarian crises. This book analyzes the impact of dozens of comics by examining the noble personalities, traits and actions of the main characters. Chapters detail how superheroes, comic books and other pop culture phenomena offer more than pure entertainment, and how we can better model ourselves after our favorite heroes. Through our good deeds, quick thinking and positive choices, we can become more like superheroes than we ever imagined.
Little Black Breastfeeding Book
The Little Black Breastfeeding Book is a small reference book that arms women with the emotional tools they will need to nurse their babies through the first year of life. The title is a bit of a play on words as it is small in size and it is black in cover, but it also is directed toward black women as it shares the authors story as a black woman who has breastfed her children and who would like to see more black women do the same. The book in interactive fashion asks a series of questions that a midwife might use to assess readiness to breastfeed. The author intentionally hopes to create a dialogue in small groups of women that will garner support for nursing their babies and delaying wean...
Pay to the Order of: Book 1
Three checks for a million dollars each with instructions to give them away. What was the catch? Brooke Allwood had a problem. She was owner and CEO of a company she didn’t want to run, at odds with family members, and amassing more money than she could ever spend. She generously gave to dozens of charities, but wasn’t there a way to anonymously give millions of dollars to ordinary, hardworking people who would put it to good use?
Selling Free Enterprise
The post-World War II years in the United States were marked by the business community's efforts to discredit New Deal liberalism and undermine the power and legitimacy of organized labor. In Selling Free Enterprise, Elizabeth Fones-Wolf describes how conservative business leaders strove to reorient workers away from their loyalties to organized labor and government, teaching that prosperity could be achieved through reliance on individual initiative, increased productivity, and the protection of personal liberty. Based on research in a wide variety of business and labor sources, this detailed account shows how business permeated every aspect of American life, including factories, schools, churches, and community institutions.
To Awaken My Afflicted Brethren
In 1829, David Walker, a free black born in Wilmington, North Carolina, wrote one of America's most provocative political documents of the nineteenth century: An Appeal to the Colored Citizens of the World. Decrying the savage and unchristian treatment blacks suffered in the United States, Walker challenged his "afflicted and slumbering brethren" to rise up and cast off their chains. His innovative efforts to circulate this pamphlet in the South outraged slaveholders, who eventually uncovered one of the boldest and most extensive plans to empower slaves ever conceived in antebellum America. Though Walker died in 1830, the Appeal remained a rallying point for many African Americans for years ...
Pay to the Order of: Book 2
Three checks for a million dollar each with instructions to give them away? What’s the catch? CEO Brooke Allwood’s life changed considerably after she actually started running the business she inherited. Yet, some things stayed the same. Her sister was jobless once more, her mother was diving headfirst into dementia, and Brooke still had more money than she knew what to do with. Sharing her wealth anonymously was fulfilling, and for Brooke there was a hint of love in the air – so also was there a hint of an unforeseen deception.
