  In part two of this master work on the life of Elizabeth Taylor she discusses her marriages, sometimes uneven acting career, and unending crusade to afford HIV suffers the love, compassion, respect, and care they deserve. At the end of her life, above all, Liz dedicated her time to her many charities unselfishly giving millions to worthy causes and personally joining protests for equal rights for homosexuals and other oppressed persons. With an unobtrusive narration by the author and a carefully plotted timeline, Taylor is very much the star of her own show.

  "…a solicitude for your welfare, which cannot end but with my life, and the apprehension of danger, natural to that solicitude, urge me, on an occasion like the present, to offer to your solemn contemplation, and to recommend to your frequent review, some sentiments which are the result of much reflection…and which appear to me all-important to the permanency of your felicity as a people…interwoven as is the love of liberty with every ligament of your hearts, no recommendation of mine is necessary to fortify or confirm the attachment…" Written near the end of his second term as president, Washington's "Farewell Address" is more than the empty jargon of a politician - it is nothing short of the heartfelt concern of a gentle leader for his people's continuing welfare.

  The Case Against Lawyers

  As a child, Catherine Crier was enchanted by film portrayals of crusading lawyers like Clarence Darrow and Atticus Finch. As a District Attorney, private lawyer, and judge, she saw firsthand how the U. S. Justice system works, and when it didn't. One of the most respected legal journalists, she confronts an unfair legal system that produces profits for the few, and frustration and injustice for the many. The Case Against Lawyers is both an angry indictment and eloquent plea for a return to common sense. It decries a system of laws so complex that even their enforcers cannot understand them. It unmasks a litigation crazed society where billiondollar judgements mostly line the pockets of personal injury lawyers. It deplores regulatory stupidity such as warning labels on strollers reading "remove child before folding." This book will make readers hopping mad, and may make them realize the only response is to demand change. Now!

  Eloquent Rage - A Black Feminist...

  With searing honesty, intimacy and humor too, America's leading young black feminist celebrates the power of rage in this piercing new audiobook. 
  So what if it's true that Black women are mad as hell? They have the right to be. In the Black feminist tradition of Audre Lorde, Brittney Cooper reminds us that anger is a powerful source of energy that can give us the strength to keep on fighting. 
  Far too often, Black women's anger has been caricatured into an ugly and destructive force that threatens the civility and social fabric of American democracy. But Cooper shows us that there is more to the story than that. Black women's eloquent rage is what makes Serena Williams such a powerful tennis player. It's what makes Beyoncé's girl power anthems resonate so hard. It's what makes Michelle Obama an icon. 
  Eloquent rage keeps us all honest and accountable. It reminds women that they don't have to settle for less. When Cooper learned of her grandmother's eloquent rage about love, sex, and marriage in an epic and hilarious front-porch confrontation, her life was changed. And it took another intervention, this time staged by one of her homegirls, to turn Brittney into the fierce feminist she is today. In Brittney Cooper's world, neither mean girls nor fuckboys ever win. But homegirls emerge as heroes. This audiobook argues that ultimately feminism, friendship, and faith in one's own superpowers are all we really need to turn things right side up again.
