  Ruth First was born in South Africa, where her Jewish family fled from danger in Europe in the early 1900s. South Africa was a safe place for Jews, but not for Black people. Inspired by her parents’ example, a teenage Ruth started a secret book club with her friends to talk about inequality, but she knew she also had to speak out in public. In college, she protested with other students, including Nelson Mandela, and wrote stories for the newspaper about racial injustice. Although she was arrested and forced to leave her country, she continued to speak out and write about the horrors of apartheid all her life. Ruth First never backed down.

  In 1847 an eighteen-year-old immigrant arrived in New York. He had little in his pockets and no knowledge of English. However, by 1874, people throughout the United States knew him as the man who made blue jeans with copper rivets. Even now Levi Strauss's name lives on as a mark of quality and style. In Mr. Blue Jeans, Maryann N. Weidt presents the history of this hardworking man, as he struggles through long, grueling days as a peddler and challenging times as a young businessman. His honesty, integrity, and generosity stand out as clearly as his name, making this rags-to-riches story well worth listening.

  Words matter. They have the capacity to capture a special moment, elevate people’s opinion of you, or resonate with an audience with a beautiful turn of phrase. 
  Used incorrectly, though, words - and specifically a limited vocabulary - cripple our ability to describe our experiences and articulate our thoughts and values. 
  The aim of this book is to not only enrich your vocabulary and way of speaking, but to also bring other people’s words to life. The book is appropriate for first and non-native English speakers. Whether you are preparing for an SAT exam, or you want to speak more eloquently at your next meeting or interview, this is the book for you!
