Hardcover. Condition: As New. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. As new condition black boards, red cloth spine and gold spine lettering contained in a fine condition non price-clipped color photographic dust jacket. Includes Author Dedication; Acknowledgments and About the Authors. Illustrated with a section of color pho…tographic plates. "Lessons on how to overcome life's obstacles from one of today's most inspiring heroes." - from the rear outer jacket. "It is as challenging a task to comment on Erin Brockovich as it was to portray her. She seems to defy description. I shall put it simply, because Erin is someone who appreciates a clear point. She is kind and she is tireless. Erin is inspiring and I know the world to be a better place because she is in it." - Julia Roberts. "Take It From Me brings us the greatest of Erin Brockovich's accomplishments in the lesson that no one starts at the top, and we all have to find the power inside to create lasting change and empowering results." - Anthony Robbins. "Thanks to the Oscar-winning movie, "Erin Brockovich" is a household name. But before the money, the movie, and the fame, there was simply Erin Brockovich. Every fairy tale has its villains, heroes, and lessons to be learned, and Erin's story is no different. But unlike most fairy tales, Erin's story is too good not to be true. In Take It From Me, Erin shares her most personal challenges and shows how all of us, no matter how down-and-out, can call on our inner strength to achieve success. In a battle that climaxed with an astounding quarter-billion-dollar settlement, the drama that led up to Erin's victory was one that began when she was a little girl suffering from dyslexia, shyness, difficulties at school, and a taste for the wild side of life. The journey she took from Kansas to California led her down a road of self-realization, self-improvement, and self-empowerment. Drawing on the moral fiber of her heartland childhood, her inner strength (often her only resource) helped her beat overwhelming odds and overcome painful obstacles such as dead-end jobs, dead-end relationships, and loneliness. Erin shares her achievements - an continuing struggles with life's adversities - to offer readers valuable lessons for reaching their full potential regardless of the circumstances. Refreshing and inspiring, Take It From Me illuminates a path to empowerment, success, self-satisfaction, and happiness anyone can follow." - from the inner front jacket flap. Lau, Tom (jacket design); Salicki, Roman (jacket photograph) (illustrator).

More than 1.7 million copies have been sold, thanks to its universal message of aging as a natural gift of life. Winner of the American Booksellers Book of the Year Honors Award (1991), and two Benjamin Franklin Awards: for design and content, literature (1988), and for excellence and innovation in marketing, literature (1992), When I Am an Old Woman I Shall Wear Purple has been applauded for its honest and inspiring approach to the much neglected topic of aging. When I Am an Old Woman I Shall Wear Purple has created a network of support and encouragement: the sixty-plus men and women whose work is included, the readers who have taken the time to share how the book has touched their lives, and the booksellers who have so graciously recommended it to buyers. Stories and poems such as Warning, Like Mother, Like Daughter, Love at Fifty, Near Places, Far Places, and Dear Paul Newman tell of the endearing moments of joy -- and passion -- to be found in the rich and varied world of midlife and beyond. This award-winning anthology has earned a word-of-mouth popularity because, as the Los Angeles Times said, the time is ripe for such a message. ; Contents: Warning / Jenny Joseph -- Sitty Victory / Vicky Salloum -- Grandma sits down / Rick Kempa -- Aunt Marie at 99 / Tom Benediktsson -- Here, take my words / Karen Brodine -- The trouble was meals / Elizabeth Bennett -- Like mother, like daughter / Susan S.

Her new novel will do that again. "Acting Out" is the probing, poignant, and ultimately uplifting story of a woman caught between the life she thought she was supposed to lead and the dreams she gave up long ago. Ina West grew up independent and solitary, raised by an artistic, unavailable mother and a reliable, loving father. As a twenty-something photographer, Ina landed in Manhattan's bohemian art scene after college, at the same time that she started dating the devoted, hardworking Jay Robinson. When her mother's mental state began to deteriorate, her closest cousin became dangerously ill, and her free artist's lifestyle put her in some vulnerable situations, Ina found comfort in Jay's trajectory into the safe, privileged world of the African-American upper middle class. Forsaking her independence and creativity for the joys of family life and material wealth, she married Jay, had three children, and moved to the suburbs; gradually, Ina gave herself completely to motherhood and the upkeep of their increasingly luxurious lifestyle. And they had it all: the SUV, the lavish home, the expensive but casual wardrobe. Then one day, after twelve years, Jay comes home from work and announces that he's leaving. Amid her shock, grief, and fear, a single clear truth emerges: though still physically present, Ina herself had checked out of the marriage long ago. As she struggles with single motherhood, reduced financial stability, and the emotional roller coaster of her breakup, Ina undertakes a journey of self-discovery with no sure destination. She moves to a smaller house, rekindles an old love, and takes up photography again. The old adventuresome, independent Ina begins to resurface, tempered by a self-knowledge borne of experience: she has learned how to look unflinchingly into her past and to determine what she wants for her future. Little delves into some of the most private and difficult questions people face. This moving, ambitious, and accomplished novel explores the fallout -- and the healing -- that can occur when the African-American dream crumbles, and when a woman is torn between divergent lifestyle choices. Ina's story of loss and courageous self-revelation will resonate for any woman who has struggled with finding her path in life. --Source: Publisher ; ink mark on bottom of text block, else VG/FINE.

"In this captivating book, beloved basketball coach John Wooden reveals the educational journey he took throughout his legendary life, from his earliest days on a small Indiana farm to the glory of his historic record setting UCLA dynasty. Throughout My Personal Best, Coach Wooden introduces us to the men and women who shaped him and the many important life lessons they taught along the way. You'll meet his father, Joshua, the honest, straigh-shooting farmer who urged his son, "Don't try to be better than somebody else, but never cease trying to be the best you can be." His mother, Roxie, a hardscrabble survivor who taught her children the value of faith and sacrifice. And his wife, Nellie, the high school sweetheart (and ukulele virtuoso) who inspired him courtside through many games and who continued to be his inspiration throughout his life. You'll also meet Coach's own coaches, such as Principal Earl Warriner, the feisty disciplinarian who guided Wooden through his first games and left him with the lesson that "no player is bigger or better than the team." High school coach Glenn Curtis, otherwise known as the Ol' Fox, who taught Wooden the poetry of basketball. And Purdue's Piggy Lambert, whose unbending princples and love for his team became Wooden's model of what a great coach and teacher could be. Last but not least you'll meet many of the students and players who became, in the end, Coach's greatest teachers of all. This treasure trove of all things Wooden also includes rare, never-before-seen photos from Coach's private collection. Pairing these priceless photos with evocative personal stories, this modern sports classic encompasses the arc of Wooden's achievements and the spirit of his All-American experience, one that will serve as inspiration to anyone who aspires to be a coach - not only on the court but in every arena of life." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps.

First edition, first printing of the Harper Collins edition. "A rich and rewarding journey with an all-star cast of guides. I'll pick it up again and again." - Tom Brokaw. "In this newly revised and updated edition, two of our most distinguished historians, Stephen Ambrose and Douglas Brinkley, bring together a stunning collection of eyewitness accounts and illustrations that chronicles the American experience from the perspectives of those who participated in its making. Originally edited in 1939 by Henry Steele Commager and Allan Nevins, Witness to America includes more than 150 works drawn from more than two hundred years of American history, from the first shots of the Revolutionary War to the closing of the Twentieth Century. From Patrick Henry's rousing "Give Me Liberty or Give Me Death!" speech to the Virginia House of Burgesses, to John Brown's stand at Harper's Ferry; from Franklin D. Roosevelt's promise of a New Deal to Neil Armstrong's account of walking on the moon, this sweeping volume brings the milestones in American history vividly to life. Here are unique and revealing selections from such historical figures as John Adams, Walt Whitman, Mark Twain, Dwight D. Eisenhower and John F. Kennedy, as well as influential individuals including Booker T. Washington, Charles Lindbergh, Ernie Pyle, Rosa Parks, and Betty Friedan. While many of the selections come from notable citizens, most are from ordinary Americans - schoolteachers, students, homemakers, pioneers, and soldiers - who describe the everyday events that have epitomized American life over the course of its history. Witness to America Sweeps across the vast territory that is our nation, illuminating the movements, ideas, inventions, and events that have shaped and defined us - from the Pony Express to the PC; from the frontier to the rise of suburbia; from farming to modernization and the information age. Within these pages discover the art of whaling, learn about survival on the gold rush trail, experience the glory and truama of war, and glean new insight on the great leaders. Here are debates and speeches, diary entires, letters, memoirs court records, and more - including many first-person accounts taht make history come alive as never before, such as a powerful description of the atomic explosion from a correspondent on the Enola Gay, and a young student's evaluation of the changing roles of women at her high school. The selections explore the diverse facets of America's cultural and political heritage and the constant shift and flux of everyday life, indelibly demonstrating both the variety and vitality of the American character. Illustrated with spectacular photographs, drawings, and paintings and featuring a 74-minute audio CD with actual clips and dramatizations of many of the entries, Witness to America is a fascinating, highly readable, and entertaining collection that shows us what America is - and where it may go - as it enters the next century." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps.

Includes Author Dedication; Acknowledgments; Introduction: The Leadership Balancing Act; Guiding Principles; Index and… About the Author. Signed by the author with thick black Sharpie/marker at the upper left corner of the blank first free front endpaper. "Empower your people, your company - and yourself - with leadership egolibrium. In The Well-Balanced Leader, top experiential, accelerated-learning trainer Ron Roberts shows you how to identify your strengths and weaknesses in the nine most critical behavioral areas. He helps you "unstick" yourself from behavioral patterns that damage your influence as a leader, your relationships whith those you lead, and the effectiveness of your organization. The Well-Balanced Leader provides valuable insight into the inner workings of great leadership, along with activities, games, and exercises to determine where you excel - and where you fall short. It empowers you to: Strike a balance among the needs of the people you lead, your own needs, and the needs of the organization; Become more conscious of what motivates you, drives your behavior, and determines how you relate to others; Think before you speak and respond to every situation with measured behavior. With The Well-Balanced Leader, you'll learn how to alter your behavior in ways that benefit your people, contribute value to your organization, and launch yourself to the highest level of success." - from the rear outer jacket. "Egolibrium: the ability to toggle between egocentric and "other-centric" attitudes, values, and behavors for organizational success. There's no doubt about it: the very best leaders are deeply in tune with their behavior and understand the impact it has on others. As one of the world's top trainers in the field of accelerated experiential learning, Ron Roberts understands this more keenly than anyone, and in The Well-Balanced Leader, he helps you re-envision your own behavior to become the best leader you can be. Roberts makes the process of finding the perfect leadership balance - what he calls egolibrium - personally enriching and easy to achieve. He begins by identifying the nine human behavioral dichotomies that most affect the quality of leadership: Nonjudgmental/Judgmental; Nondefensive/Defensive; Relinquishing Control/Controlling; Openness to learning/Know it all; Doing the right thing/ Doing whatever you want; Patience/Impatience; Letting go/ Holding on; Acceptance/Resistance; Other-centric/ Egocentric. Everyone's behaviors fall somewhere between each dichotomy. Using the activities, action steps, games, and thought exercises included for each pair, you'll figure out exactly where your behaviors land, and then learn how to move that position in one direction or the other to find the right balance for your specific needs. When you transcend your personal needs and focus on the needs of others and of the organization, everyone benefits - including you. The result is not only greater job satisfaction for people at all levels, but greater productivity - regardless of the organization's field, product, or service. The Well-Balanced Leader gives you the tools for making the small, incremental changes in behavior that lead to big changes in awareness - and huge changes in your leadership effectiveness." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps.
