Fierce and Fearless
"The book explores the life and politics of Patsy Takemoto Mink (1927-2002), a third generation Japanese American from Hawai'i, the first woman of color in Congress and the legislative champion of Title IX. Co-authored by her daughter, political scientist Gwendolyn Mink, and historian Judy Tzu-Chun Wu, this work discusses Mink's decades-long work for women's equality, civil rights, environmental humanism, and peace. The book considers Mink's policy and political commitments and contributions and explores how Mink's Pacific World view shaped her politics as a feminist, a civil rights advocate, an environmentalist, and a critic of U.S. militarism. From the late 19th century immigration story of Mink's forbears through Mink's early 21st century advocacy for social justice, this book offers new insights regarding intersectional legislative feminism and Pacific feminism, makes visible one woman's policy activism in the mainstream of U.S. politics, and brings much needed attention to a woman of color who profoundly shaped the politics of race, class, and gender in the second half of the 20th century"--
Empire and Liberty
Empire and Liberty brings together two epic subjects in American history: the story of the struggle to end slavery that reached a violent climax in the Civil War, and the story of the westward expansion of the United States. Virginia Scharff and the contributors to this volume show how the West shaped the conflict over slavery and how slavery shaped the West, in the process defining American ideals about freedom and influencing battles over race, property, and citizenship. This innovative work embraces East and West, as well as North and South, as the United States observes the 2015 sesquicentennial commemoration of the end of the Civil War. A companion volume to an Autry National Center exhibition on the Civil War and the West, Empire and Liberty brings leading historians together to examine artifacts, objects, and artworks that illuminate this period of national expansion, conflict, and renewal.
Puck Buddies
Bree Marks is my best friend... My secret crush… And—wait for it—cursed with a deadly allergy to erecto-plasm. As in she’ll seriously swell up and die if seminal fluid even touches her. Which means finding the perfect guy to punch her V card is literally a matter of life and death. She wants a no-strings summer fling, but she needs someone she can trust. A puck buddy who isn’t going to get overly emotional. Someone who’s as savvy in the sack as he is on the ice. That’s where I come in. It’s a simple request, really—and one I would be happy to honor. If it weren’t for the whole life-and-death thing. If I hadn’t just been traded to a team thousands of miles away from this...
The Arts of Leading
A deeply insightful approach to cultivating leaders of character centered on the arts and humanities What does it mean to lead? Whom do we consider to be leaders? And how might viewing leadership through the many lenses of the humanities expand our understanding of how it is imagined, represented, and enacted? Drawing on insights from eminent scholars in the classics, philosophy, religion, literature, history, art, music, and the theater, The Arts of Leading reveals the power of the arts and humanities to unsettle common assumptions about leadership and offer new contexts. Rather than instrumentalizing the arts and humanities or reducing them to mere management resources, this series of thou...
In The Dirt
Enjoy book five in this small town sports romance series by USA Today Bestselling contemporary romance author Mary E Thompson. Eric owed everything to his older sister. She gave up her future to make sure he had one, and he’d never forget what she did for him. He vowed to make it up to her, including giving up the job he wanted to make sure his sister would get it. Except she wasn’t the one who was hired. Jo finally did it. She got the job she always wanted. She’d worked hard, and she’d finally made her dream to coach women’s lacrosse come true. Stepping into a new position wouldn’t be easy, but she was sure the assistant coach, who didn’t apply for the job, would be on her side and help her acclimate to the position with ease. Or maybe not. Eric makes his opinion of Jo clear off the bat, and she isn’t a big fan of his either. They won’t survive the season together, not if they both want to see the other fail as much as they want each other. But which desire will win? Because only one of them can get what they want.
