Beschreibung

Presidents Before Office examines the diverse pre-presidential careers of U.S. presidents, highlighting how these experiences shaped their leadership and policy decisions. The book argues that understanding these formative years provides crucial context for interpreting their actions in office.

 
From military service to legal careers and entrepreneurial endeavors, the paths these individuals took before entering the White House profoundly influenced their presidencies. For example, the book explores how military leaders like George Washington brought command experience to their leadership styles, while legal professionals such as Abraham Lincoln used their training to inform policy decisions.

 
The book progresses by thematically categorizing presidents based on their pre-presidential professions, using historical context to show the social, economic, and political landscapes that shaped their early lives. By examining these diverse backgrounds, the book offers valuable insights into the qualities and experiences that contribute to effective leadership. This approach provides a unique perspective on American history and presidential development, enriching our understanding of the complex factors that shape the nation's highest office.

    From a young age, Layla Salek has experienced some people as colors—her mother brown, her father green, her husband rainbow. As she notes, sometimes, when words fail, colors speak.
    
    Chaos in Color is the captivating story of Layla’s journey from childhood to adulthood with a mother who suffered from untreated bipolar disorder. Each chapter paints a vivid, heartbreaking picture of the abuse, neglect, and trauma that she experienced as she grew up at the mercy of her mother’s bipolar swings, an incompetent mental health system, and the strangers with whom she was often left. But dissipating those times of darkness were moments of love, joy, and happiness that she felt while being cared for by others in her life. These moments inspired her to start her own family, complete a doctorate in psychology, and work with children with mental illness and severe behavior disorders.
    
    Layla’s story traces how personal and familial trauma is carried into adulthood and how it can be released through forgiveness. This honest, provocative memoir offers a relatable account for others who have experienced similar trauma, as well as hope for healing and a future full of light.

    Have you ever been around people, yet still felt alone? Dr. bird has too. Within the first variant of their envirusmental series, they revealed thirty years of their late-in-life realized secrets. In this second volume, they, literally and figuratively, Zoom in on the last four "unprecedented" ones. This includes them cutting-the-shit about how, half-way through their PhD, COVID-19 hit. And how, a couple years later, they added "Dr." to the front of their nickname. In typical "bad guy" fashion, plague Dr. bird has more puns, cusswords, and trauma than all the answers on how to create our liberatory regenerative future. But, for now, they further diagnose how foundational U.S. issues severely sicken, disable, and kill us in the algorithmic envirusment. And,remind readers to drink water, do something nice for ourselves, and that we Abso-f*ckin-lutely deserve better than This Shit.

    Part memoir, part manifesto, Chamorro climate activist Julian Aguon's No Country for Eight-Spot Butterflies is a coming-of-age story and a call for justice—for everyone, but in particular, for Indigenous peoples. 
     
     
     
    In bracing poetry and compelling prose, Aguon weaves together stories from his childhood in the villages of Guam with searing political commentary about matters ranging from nuclear weapons to global warming. Undertaking the work of bearing witness, wrestling with the most pressing questions of the modern day, and reckoning with the challenge of truth-telling in an era of rampant obfuscation, he culls from his own life experiences—from losing his father to pancreatic cancer to working for Mother Teresa to an edifying chance encounter with Sherman Alexie—to illuminate a collective path out of the darkness. 
     
     
     
    A powerful, bold, new voice writing at the intersection of Indigenous rights and environmental justice, Julian Aguon is entrenched in the struggles of the people of the Pacific to liberate themselves from colonial rule, defend their sacred sites, and obtain justice for generations of harm. In No Country for Eight-Spot Butterflies, Aguon shares his wisdom and reflections on love, grief, joy, and triumph and extends an offer to join him in a hard-earned hope for a better world.
