  The speeches of film legend Sidney Poitier—given at commencement addresses, awards shows, memorials, and more, on topics ranging from entertainment history to filmmaking, civil rights, and parenthood—come to vibrant life in this inspirational and stunningly packaged volume from the Poitier estate that sheds new light on the trailblazing artist's life and culture of the past century. Sidney Poitier represented strength, good looks, and above all dignity at a time when Black representation on the screen was so often relegated to servile parts. He broke ground as the top box-office draw in Hollywood at the peak of his career, and was the first Black actor to win the Best Actor Oscar, for his performance in Lillies of the Field (1963). Poitier—who narrowly escaped illiteracy after rising up from an impoverished childhood and the massive obstacles he faced as a Black man in mid-twentieth century America—was also one of the most articulate and sought-after speakers of his day. This book is a one-of-a-kind collection showcasing the wise, witty, and deeply personal speeches Poitier gave at awards ceremonies, family events, memorials, and more. His salutes to artists such as Dorothy Dandridge, Spencer Tracy, Stanley Kramer, and Denzel Washington offer fresh insight on icons of our time. Poitier's unforgettable cadence and voice are clear as day on the page, sometimes with careful edits and additions written in his own hand. Compiled by his wife, Joanna Poitier, and illustrated by dozens of professional and family photos, this collection stunningly captures all that was remarkable about the man through his own words; archives moments in the history of entertainment, culture, and civil rights; and offers a uniquely inspirational perspective on career, family, art, and life.

  Grand Theft Giro is a raw, funny and deeply human Scottish memoir written and narrated by Frankie Gault. Set across the streets, schemes and shorelines of Inverclyde, these true stories move between chaos and tenderness, addiction and recovery, trouble and survival. Frankie tells of growing up on the west coast of Scotland in a world of giro days, dodgy decisions, near-disasters and second chances, where the line between comedy and catastrophe is always thin. 
  From time in prison and nights that spiralled out of control, to the unexpected kindness of strangers and the quiet loyalty of friends, each story reveals another side of working-class life in Scotland. Some chapters are laugh-out-loud funny; others are hard to listen to. All are told with unflinching honesty, sharp observation and a deep affection for the people and places that made him. 
  Told in Frankie’s own voice, this unabridged audiobook offers an unfiltered portrait of a man who has lived through darkness, stumbled towards recovery and found meaning in telling the truth about where he came from. 
  For listeners who enjoy real Scottish stories, working-class memoirs and humour drawn from lived experience, Grand Theft Giro is a powerful, unforgettable journey through one man’s life in Inverclyde.
