Sinopsis

In "South!", Ernest Henry Shackleton recounts the harrowing and ambitious journey of the Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition of 1914-1917, blending adventure narrative with a rich reflection on human fortitude. The literary style is evocative and immersive, employing vivid imagery and suspenseful storytelling to convey the relentless cold and the psychological strains of survival. Shackleton's account is not merely a tale of exploration; it serves as a poignant exploration of resilience in the face of adversity, all set against the stark and unforgiving backdrop of the Antarctic wilderness. Shackleton, a distinguished polar explorer, was propelled by a deep-seated passion for adventure and discovery, which was shaped by his early experiences in the Arctic and Antarctic regions. His leadership during the expedition, marked by unparalleled courage and decision-making under extreme pressure, culminates in the remarkable story he shares in "South!" This account bridges the gap between scientific exploration and the profound human experience, illustrating Shackleton's belief in the indomitable strength of the human spirit. A must-read for adventurers and scholars alike, "South!" transcends the boundaries of conventional exploration literature, offering invaluable insights into leadership and perseverance. Shackleton's journey not only chronicles survival but also serves as an enduring testament to hope and camaraderie, making it essential reading for anyone captivated by human endeavor against nature's might.

    Fundraising events are designed to generate financial support by offering something in return to donors. Donors contribute not just out of goodwill but with the expectation of receiving a benefit or service in exchange. The nature of this exchange depends on the type of fundraising event organized. 
    For instance, a classic example is the car wash fundraiser, where donors pay for their cars to be cleaned as part of the event. Other popular types of fundraising include benefit dinners, performances, bake sales, auctions, and sporting events. Each of these events provides something of value in return for the contributions received. A contemporary example of this is the televised fundraiser, where celebrities encourage viewers to pledge donations, which are then deposited into designated accounts.

    Most of us don't need to make speeches. We need to make friends. This is the core message of Black and White: racism can be disrupted by relationships.

    The coauthors, Teesha Hadra, a young African American woman, and John Hambrick, a sixty-year-old white man, bring a confident and redemptive tone to this hope because that is exactly what they've experienced.  Black and White leverages their story, surrounding it with other's stories, practical advice, and exploration of the systems of racism to motivate you to consider your own role in change. 
     
     
     
    ● Learn about the various and often subtle ways racism continues to be a part of American culture.
