Hardback. Condition: Very Good. In Letters to My White Male Friends, Dax-Devlon Ross speaks directly to the millions of middle-aged white men who are suddenly awakening to race and racism. White men are finally realizing that simply not being racist isn't enough to end racism. These men want deeper insight not only into how racism has harmed Black people, but, for the first time, into how it has harmed them. They are beginning to see that racism warps us all. Letters to My White Male Friends promises to help men who have said they are committed to change and to develop the capacity to see, feel and sustain that commitment so they can help secure racial justice for us all. Ross helps readers understand what it meant to be America's first generation raised after the civil rights era. He explains how we were all educated with colorblind narratives and symbols that typically, albeit implicitly, privileged whiteness and denigrated Blackness. He provides the context and color of his own experiences in white schools so that white men can revisit moments in their lives where racism was in the room even when they didn't see it enter. Ross shows how learning to see the harm that racism did to him, and forgiving himself, gave him the empathy to see the harm it does to white people as well. Ultimately, Ross offers white men direction so that they can take just action in their workplace, community, family, and, most importantly, in themselves, especially in the future when race is no longer in the spotlight.…

Paperback. Condition: Good. In a series of insightful, probing interviews, Dax-Devlon Ross gives voice to the less-acknowledged realms of the black experience and gives us all new role models of courage, iconoclasm, and creativity. Ross, an inner-city schoolteacher who eschewed a career in law, became aware of the need for a book like this one when he came to his own career crossroads. To write it, he criss-crossed the country and even traveled to Europe, talking to black Americans who have stepped outside their comfort zones and found lives that no one had ever imagined they'd lead. In Beat of a Different Drum, you'll meet: Lisa Stevens, the zoo curator who cares for the pandas at the National Zoo Johnathon Lee Iverson, the first black Ringling Brothers Circus ringleader Jair Lynch, an Olympic athlete and real estate entrepreneur James McLurkin, an inventor and robotics researcher Ray Hill, a brewmeister who left a lucrative career to start his own beer company Uchenna Smith, who, at 25, began running her own school with the KIPP-Sankofa program Jake Lamar, an expatriate novelist Mike Ladd, an M.C., producer, and professor Bill Collins, a former Principal turned sailor turned world-renowned chef Stacey Barney, a schoolteacher turned book editor . . . as well as many others, each of whose stories has something unique to teach us about the search for meaning in one's lifework, and the challenges that we must still face when we march to the beat of a different drum. …

Hardback. Condition: Good. From the embattled forests of Clayoquat Sound to the helm of a global tech empire, Dax Dasilva has always harbored a heart fiercely attuned to nature's calls. In Echoes from Eden, he chronicles the transformative juncture of his life during a global pandemic - a time when the natural world faced unprecedented threats due to halted conservation efforts. With businesses reeling and environmental protectors in dire straits, Dasilva faced a monumental choice: continue at the forefront of technology as CEO of Lightspeed or heed the call of his lifelong activism. His decision? A profound pivot to conservation, seeding the Age of Union Alliance with a USD40 million commitment. Dasilva's journey takes readers to the world's vanishing frontiers, where he joins forces with legendary conservationists like Dr. Jane Goodall in the Amazon, Dr. Russ Mittermeier in Madagascar, and Dr. Kerry Bowman in the Congo. Each page of Echoes from Eden is a testament to the tenacity of those battling to safeguard our planet's precious biodiversity. But this is more than a memoir - it is a mobilization. Dasilva's narrative, rich with the spirit of adventure and selfless dedication, is a rallying cry for environmental stewardship and a beacon of hope for the eco-conscious future. Echoes from Eden is not just a story of one man's commitment; it's an invitation to join a movement essential to our survival - a journey as inspiring as it is critical for our time.…
