  From Ashes to OpportunityI see that my purpose—my love—is fixing things. Families, after my dad left. Businesses, struggling to survive. Boats, deserving of glory instead of ashes. —Wes WheelerWes Wheeler has spent his life fixing things. From a young age, the New York native witnessed the decline of his family’s multi-generational boat business, watching it, quite literally, burn to the ground. While sorting through the ashes of the once successfully run company alongside his father, Wheeler’s future was decided for him. Instead of succumbing to the idea that businesses disintegrate and leave behind hordes of unemployed workers, their mission buried beneath burned bridges and abandoned dreams, Wheeler opted to arm himself with a work ethic built on faith, drive, and dogged determination.In The Turnaround Leader, Wheeler recounts his decades of managing projects for rising and falling companies, reshaping organizations, and restructuring business models to stand the test of time. Wheeler’s lifetime of ambition was launched during his humble beginnings as a paper delivery boy, where he discovered the little shifts that make a big difference, from the way he angled the papers he threw, to how he engaged with customers and mapped out his routes. These tiny lessons compounded over time and bolstered him while he faced difficult economic headwinds and ill-suited business leaders that preceded him, his most rewarding challenge being his leadership role during the COVID-19 pandemic. In a world where business models are rapidly changing and employment is never promised, Wheeler’s ability to adapt is both inspiring and achievable.

  This bundle of books delves into humanity’s deepest questions through three profound fields of philosophy—Teleology, Phenomenology, and Eschatology. This 3-in-1 volume offers a rich and thought-provoking journey through purpose, perception, and the end of existence. 
  In the first section, Teleology, readers explore the concept of purpose in nature, history, and human life. From Aristotle’s final causes to modern interpretations of design and destiny, this section unpacks how philosophers and scientists have interpreted meaning in a seemingly chaotic universe. 
  Phenomenology takes center stage in the second section, inviting readers into the study of lived experience and consciousness. Tracing the work of Husserl, Heidegger, and Merleau-Ponty, this section reveals how we perceive and interpret the world from a first-person point of view. It’s a dive into perception, intentionality, and the structures of experience. 
  Finally, Eschatology examines the philosophical and theological discourse surrounding the ultimate destiny of humanity and the universe. Whether through religious traditions, secular speculation, or metaphysical inquiry, this section explores endings, finality, and the deep questions of what lies beyond the limits of life and time. 
  Together, these three domains form a comprehensive introduction to advanced philosophical thinking, ideal for students, seekers, and anyone intrigued by the questions that shape our understanding of reality.

  Do you remember the stories of those taken prisoner during WWII? Can you name any heroes from the war? How many of those names are of women? 
  So often, we remember war heroes as men completing great feats of strength on the battlefield, saving the lives of their fellow soldiers. There have been multiple books, films, and articles written about soldiers during WWII. Some are fictional, while some are based on true stories. From Saving Private Ryan to The Great Escape, the public is not at any loss for the stories of the trials that men faced during the Second World War.  
  The stories that are all too often forgotten are those of the women. These are true stories of female prisoners of war, courageous nurses taken prisoner while serving in the military to take care of those soldiers. They are the women who risked life and limb to do what they could to stop the spread of fascism.  
  Within the pages of this book lie the stories of five incredible women prisoners of war during World War Two. These women not only risked their lives in the line of duty, just as their male counterparts did, but they also faced horrific atrocities and risks directly tied to their gender.  
  These women are:  
  • A flight nurse whose plane was shot down over enemy lines only to completely confuse the German Army as to what to do with her. 
  • An American woman living in Germany who worked to infiltrate the Nazis to dismantle the system from the inside. 
  • The sole survivor of a mass murder of nurses only to have her own government silence her from telling her story.  
  • A feminist and political activist working to stop fascism and educate her fellow women, even while inside a concentration camp. 
  • A nurse who simply wanted to return to her post regardless of the torture she endured. 
  It is our duty to remember these women who survived war and honor them as the true heroines they were.

  Unsettling Choice - Race Rights...

  What do universal rights to public goods like education mean when codified as individual, private choices? Is the "problem" of school choice actually not about better choices for all but about the competition and exclusion that choice engenders? Unsettling Choice addresses such questions through a compelling ethnography that illuminates how one path of neoliberal restructuring in the United States emerged in tandem with, and in response to, the Civil Rights movement. 
   
   
   
  Unsettling Choice traces the contestations that surfaced when, in the wake of the 2007–2009 Great Recession, public schools navigated austerity by expanding choice-based programs. Ujju Aggarwal argues that this strategy mobilized mechanisms rooted in market logics to recruit families with economic capital on their side, solidifying a public sphere that increasingly resembled the private. 
   
   
   
  As Unsettling Choice shows, these struggles over public schools were entrapped within neoliberal regimes that exceeded privatization and ensured exclusion even as they were couched in language of equity, diversity, care, and rights. This book tracks an architecture of expansive rights, care, and belonging built among poor and working-class parents at a Head Start center, whose critique of choice helps us understand how we might struggle for justice, and a public that remains to be won.
