Beschreibung

This book represents an attempt to bring into one account the story of European expansion in North America down to 1783.

    The military is often perceived by well-meaning Americans as the last stronghold against the progressive march through America’s institutions. But this is no longer simply the case. Our Armed Forces were once the envy of the world, in large part because we selected based on merit, and instilled in our fighting men an unshakeable military ethos. Both the ethos and the selection, however, have been in steady decline as the Department of Defense succumbs to a dangerous ideology: selection and promotion based on racial and gender identity. This has already led to major problems and may well lead us down the path of disaster.

    Son of Birmingham - A Memoir

    Today's Birmingham—led by Mayor Randall Woodfin—is a phoenix rising from the ashes of systemic racism and white flight. This first Southern city to pluck the feathers off Jim Crow, where peaceful protesters endured attacks by police dogs, where high-pressure water hoses tore at the flesh of men and women marching for their rights, and where children locked arms and sang "We Shall Overcome," is a living, breathing redemption story. 
     
     
     
    In Son of Birmingham, Woodfin draws upon the street wisdom of his generation's Southern rap music; the power of family, friends, and faith; and his education at the historically Black Morehouse College to preach the progress every corner of our nation clamors for right now. He walks listeners through the streets of his Birmingham, bringing to light the daily joys and struggles of everyday people and revealing what spurred him to turn his education and Capitol Hill experience to the city of his youth. 
     
     
     
    A moving memoir of a young leader's perseverance in a city still battling racism and gun violence, which Woodfin experienced first-hand, Son of Birmingham is also a call-to-action across America—an appeal to Woodfin's unique brand of servant leadership and responsive government for equitable, inclusive, and prosperous cities where everyone has the opportunity to reach their full potential.

    Ever found yourself staring into the void and wished it would at least tell a good joke? Wonder how a chain-smoking French philosopher with unflattering glasses became an intellectual sex symbol? Want to understand existentialism without developing an addiction to black turtlenecks and cigarettes? 
    "Sartre's No Exit" is the antidote to pretentious philosophical despair you've been waiting for. This irreverent guide takes you on a sarcasm-soaked journey through Jean-Paul Sartre's most influential ideas—from radical freedom and bad faith to the hellishness of other people—all while mercilessly mocking the man who made existential angst fashionable.

    How Sartre transformed teenage angst into a philosophical system (and got famous for it) 
    Why your freedom is both absolute and absolutely terrifying 
    How we all lie to ourselves about our lies to ourselves 
    The philosophical roots of your social anxiety and public bathroom discomfort 
    Why "Hell is other people" doesn't mean what you think (but is still a great excuse for canceling plans) 
    How Sartre maintained numerous affairs while writing about authenticity 
    Essential tips for hosting your very own existentialist dinner party, complete with nihilistic cocktails! 
    Whether you're a confused student forced to read "Being and Nothingness," a curious reader wanting to understand what the fuss is about, or someone who enjoys watching intellectual pretension get skewered by razor-sharp wit, this book is your perfect introduction to the man who made misery sound profound and smoking indoors seem philosophical.
