Описание: We all want to be happy-to have a fulfilling, purpose-driven career; to have healthy, happy, loving relationships; to be financially secure, etc. But happiness can elude us. We often dont see our purpose. We may lack a direction. We may know our dream but feel its too far away to achieve. Many of us dont know how to take the first steps.

After 19 years of coaching executives from the best of the best global companies, Ive discovered many leaders struggle with this. They want to know, What is my purpose?

Описание: The first campaign in the Civil War in which Robert E. Lee led the Army of Northern Virginia, the Seven Days Battles were fought southeast of the Confederate capital of Richmond in the summer of 1862. Lee and his fellow officers, including "Stonewall" Jackson, James Longstreet, A. P. Hill, and D. H. Hill, pushed George B. McClellan's Army of the Potomac from the gates of Richmond to the James River, where the Union forces reached safety. Along the way, Lee lost several opportunities to harm McClellan. The Seven Days have been the subject of numerous historical treatments, but none more detailed and engaging than Brian K. Burton's retelling of the campaign that lifted Southern spirits, began Lee's ascent to fame, and almost prompted European recognition of the Confederacy.
Описание: Buoyed by the Civil Rights movement of the 1950s and 1960s, historians began reevaluating previously held beliefs of American slavery. Under particular scrutiny was the belief in slavery’s paternalistic benevolence. Remembering the Days of Sorrow is not another attempt to revise this outdated perception justifying slavery. Others have already done that. As part of the New Deal’s national agenda of work relief programs, the Slave Narratives project provided employment while simultaneously preserving the memories of former slaves throughout the country. Remembering the Days of Sorrow allows the voices of Texas’s former slaves to resonate to a new generation as they remembered what it was like to suffer under the yoke of slavery as well as the yoke of old age and poverty in the Great Depression of the 1930s.

Описание: The sobering tale of the rapid rise and decline of the settlement of the western Great Plains.
With its rich mix of cultures, European influences, colonial tensions, and migration from bordering nations, Ecuador has long drawn the interest of ethnographers, historians, and political scientists. In this book, Jean Muteba Rahier delivers a highly detailed, thought-provoking examination of the racial, sexual, and social complexities of Afro-Ecuadorian culture, as revealed through the annual Festival of the Kings. During the Festival, the people of various villages and towns of Esmeraldas--Ecuador's province most associated with blackness--engage in celebratory and parodic portrayals, often donning masks, cross-dressing, and disguising themselves as blacks, indigenous people, and whites, in an obvious critique of local, provincial, and national white, white-mestizo, and light-mulatto elites. Rahier shows that this festival, as performed in different locations, reveals each time a specific location's perspective on the larger struggles over identity, class, and gender relations in the racial-spacial order of Esmeraldas, and of the Ecuadorian nation in general.

Описание: First published in 1956, Northern Trader is a historically valuable, intimately personal and vividly expressed memoir of the last days of the fur trade. A gifted writer, Harold Kemp recounts the routines and rhythms of that long-lost way of life; a life that had been "following the same placid course that it had been following for the past two hundred years"; a life in which "bark canoes were still built, muzzle-loaders still used," and where the north was a "vast region of infinite allure in which a young man could test his character, make his name, and earn a living far distant from the mundane familiarities of town or city." Kemp tells how, as a teenager, he was fascinated by a map of northern Saskatchewan with "too many blank, unexplored areas on it, too many lakes half-drawn, too many rivers that terminate only in dotted lines." Kemp's palpable, often gripping prose recounts life on the trail in all seasons: paddling freight canoes, being under sail in a York boat, packing one's own weight on portages, running on snowshoes to break trail for dogs pulling loaded toboggans, and making camp at the end of an exhausting day. Equally impressive, historically, are his depictions of the Cree among whom he lived, whose language he spoke, whose skills he admired, and whose customs he respected.

Описание: In the spring of 1871, Ralph Waldo Emerson took month-and-a-half-long tour of California - an interlude that became one of the highlights of his life. Engaging and compelling, this travelogue makes it clear that Emerson was still capable of wonder, surprise, and friendship, debunking the presumed darkness of his last decade.
