The Brink
Leadership is built not born, and it is not built in a vacuum. Great leaders are most powerfully created on the way toward a great endeavor, or in the face of a great challenge. The Brink is a leadership model that uses climbing a mountain as a metaphor for that challenge, and is a guide to creating and fostering that endeavor into reality for you and your leadership. Leadership is not built in comfortable, settled, and unchallenged people. There is nothing for it to feed and grow on in that emptiness. There is no reason or urgency to lead in the absence of a great challenge. Whether you have your own great challenge already or not, The Brink is the environment and the pathway to create and ...

My Pisces Heart
With heart, humor, and razor-sharp observation, this intimate and incisive memoir traces the journey of a Black, queer woman as she searches the world for a place of security and acceptance to call home I’ve never seen home as a permanent concept; it is an image crafted from untempered glass that threatens to shatter with lack of care. Jennifer Neal was born in the United States to a family that moved continuously for their own survival and well-being—from the Great Migration to the twenty-first century. As an adult, she has continued to travel the world as a Black queer woman, across two decades and four countries—from Japan to the US and then Australia to Germany, where she has settl...

Modern Sports in Asia
"Modern sports" were introduced to Asia in the late nineteenth century as an innovation from the West, concurrently with the development of modern society in Asia. This book traces the historical developments of sporting cultures in Asia in specific local contexts – including Singapore, China, Myanmar, Taiwan, the Philippines, and India – and their intersections with larger social developments of colonialism, postcolonialism, nationalism, and the building of modern Asia and its place in a globalized world. The case studies herein present the social history of modern team sports with standardized rules such as basketball and cricket, and less familiar sports such as fives and chinlone, as...
