    In the wake of the Supreme Court’s recent decision regarding Fisher v. University of Texas, For Discrimination is at once the definitive reckoning with one of America’s most explosively contentious and divisive issues and a principled work of advocacy for clearly defined justice. What, precisely, is affirmative action, and why is it fiercely championed by some and just as fiercely denounced by others? Does it signify a boon or a stigma? Or is it simply reverse discrimination? What are its benefits and costs to American society? What are the exact indicia determining who should or should not be accorded affirmative action? When should affirmative action end, if it must? Randall Kennedy, Harvard Law School professor and author of such critically acclaimed and provocative books as Race, Crime, and the Law and the national best seller Nigger: The Strange Career of a Troublesome Word, gives us a concise, gimlet-eyed, and deeply personal conspectus of the policy, refusing to shy away from the myriad complexities of an issue that continues to bedevil American race relations. With pellucid reasoning, Kennedy accounts for the slipperiness of the term affirmative action as it has been appropriated by ideologues of every stripe; delves into the complex and surprising legal history of the policy; coolly analyzes key arguments pro and con advanced by the left and right, including the so-called color-blind, race-neutral challenge; critiques the impact of Supreme Court decisions on higher education; and ponders the future of affirmative action. ungekürzt.

    Virtually all of the major building blocks of our culture (law, government, religion, science, medicine, drama, architecture, and more) derived ultimately from the ancient Greeks. In these 12 lectures, you'll explore the continuing influence of the classical Greek achievement on contemporary life. The point is not the often tedious claim that there is nothing new under the sun. Rather, it is to underscore the remarkable continuity of the Greek perspective and ethos preserved over several millennia. You'll learn how great literary themes that have dominated creative writing over the past two millennia were developed and bequeathed to us by a handful of ancient Greek poets and dramatists. You'll study the pure symmetry of ancient Greek art and architecture and its influence on everything from politics to the works of Leonardo da Vinci. You'll explore the Greek ideals in scholarship and the relationship the ancient Greeks saw between what you study and what you become. You'll also get a chance to investigate the origins of the modern scientific method in the mathematical deductions of Pythagoras and the explosively productive inductive inquiries of Aristotle, as well as the origins of modern clinical medicine in the work of Hippocrates of Cos and the Greek writings of Galen. And you'll study statecraft, specifically the contemporary notions of freedom, self-government, virtuous leadership, and civic life that have their origins in the Athens of Pericles, Plato, and Aristotle.

    The saga continues....In the opening chapter of volume two, Addy is sheriff of Leavenworth during “bloody Kansas” days.In chapter seven, he and Stogie operate a Pony Express station deep in the heart of lawless Nebraska territory.In chapter eight, after some unfortunate incidents, Addison heads east to finally deliver Pard’s gold to his wife in Cincinnati...when the Civil War breaks out. Addy’s western skills quickly lead him to take on the role of army scout, but those duties eventually cross over into outright spying for Ulysses Grant, as well as Grenville Dodge.In chapter nine, Addy barely escapes the clutches of the rebels and finds himself in a symbiotic relationship with a runaway slave and his son. Using Addy’s knowledge of geography and survival skills and the runaway’s connection to slaves on the plantations they pass through, they head north.Chapter 10 concludes explosively with Addison back on the plains working as a scout for Dodge on the transcontinental railroad but looking to finally conclude his personal feud with Black Wolf. The Brule Chief has removed to Powder River country to fight with Red Cloud and Addy follows him there.When you finish volume two, if you love the book please consider not only writing a review but also posting a positive comment on Facebook or Tweeting your friends about it. I have been rejected by the New York publishing world dozens of times over a score of years. Help me sell a zillion downloads of Addy and thereby strike a blow at the Manhattan monolith while also sending them a message: If you don’t know what a good book is, the people will tell you.  ungekürzt.

    In Elvis Presley: A Southern Life, one of the most admired Southern historians of our time takes on one of the greatest cultural icons of all time. The result is a masterpiece: a vivid, gripping biography, set against the rich backdrop of Southern society - indeed, American society - in the second half of the 20th century. Author of The Crucible of Race and William Faulkner and Southern History, Joel Williamson is a renowned historian known for his inimitable and compelling narrative style. In this tour de force biography, he captures the drama of Presley's career set against the popular culture of the post-World War II South. Born in Tupelo, Mississippi, Presley was a contradiction, flamboyant in pegged Black pants with pink stripes, yet soft-spoken, respectfully courting a decent girl from church. Then he wandered into Sun Records, and everything changed. "I was scared stiff," Elvis recalled about his first time performing on stage. "Everyone was hollering and I didn't know what they were hollering at." Girls did the hollering - at his snarl and swagger. Williamson calls it "the revolution of the Elvis girls." His fans lived in an intense moment, this generation raised by their mothers while their fathers were away at war, whose lives were transformed by an exodus from the countryside to Southern cities, a postwar culture of consumption, and a striving for upward mobility. They came of age in the era of the 1954 Brown vs. Board of Education ruling, which turned high schools into battlegrounds of race. Explosively, white girls went wild for a white man inspired by and singing Black music while "wiggling" erotically. Elvis, Williamson argues, gave his female fans an opportunity to break free from straitlaced Southern society and express themselves sexually, if only for a few hours at a time. ungekürzt.

    Most people stereotype anger by assuming it always results in shouting, slamming fists, throwing things, road rage, or domestic violence. However, anger is not that one-dimensional. Have you ever acted on your anger explosively or violently, maybe in reaction to another person’s unkind actions? Or maybe you are the type of person to hold everything in and then resent others through passive-aggressive behavior or by being overly critical? Regardless, you are acting on your anger. It is okay to feel angry, but to act on your anger like this is unacceptable. Expressed anger only propagates and creates more anger - this is how professionally angry TV and radio commentators influence our society. This is not productive; it is better to not have anger created in the first place. However, that is not always feasible. And this is where anger management comes in...to dictate how you direct your anger. You cannot control the words or actions of others, but you can control your actions, your words, and your reactions. Unless you choose to exert your anger through constructive assertiveness over destructive aggression, you'll only propagate more anger - some of which will be directed back at you. But to do this, you need to dig deep. Many times, your current anger or outburst of anger is not due to what is right in front of you at that moment but to unresolved issues from your past. This is a bundle of three audiobooks to help you combat your anger issues as a busy, productive adult: Anger Management: Control Anger & Stop Hurting the One Person that Matters Most - YouDeclutter: Free Your Mind from Mental ClutterMindfulness for Beginners: How Present Living Can Change Your LifeDiscover: What the goal of anger management actually entailsWhy you need anger management - even if you don’t explode when frustratedWhy anger is not a sin to run away ungekürzt.
