  Welcome to the world of the super humans we call Saints. They can come back to life, fly through the air, walk on water and so much more. 
   
  Saint Denis lost his head. So he picked it up and carried on walking. 
  Saint Margaret was swallowed whole by a dragon, drowned, set on fire and yet refused to die. 
   
  Saint Simeon lived on top of a massive pillar in the desert. 
  Saint Christina visited purgatory and loved to be beaten up. 
   
  In fact there are thousands and thousands of Saints and all have amazing stories. A great many are also well-known to us all and yet their real stories are not. Saint Nicholas or Santa Claus is actually the patron Saint of sailors, dock workers, thieves, murderers, shoe-shiners and lost lawsuits. Saint Columba recorded the first sighting of the Loch Ness monster as well as stealing the recipe for nettle soup. 
   
  This is a fascinating and often hilarious look at the lives of the real super heroes we call Saints.

  Invisible No More - Voices from...

  For too long, Native American people in the United States have been stereotyped as vestiges of the past, invisible citizens in their own land obliged to remind others, "We are still here!" Yet today, Native leaders are at the center of social change, challenging philanthropic organizations that have historically excluded Native people, and fighting for economic and environmental justice. 
   
   
   
  Invisible No More is a collection of stories by Native American leaders, many of them women, who are leading the way through cultural grounding and nation-building in the areas of community, environmental justice, and economic justice. Authors in the collection come from over a dozen Native nations. While telling their stories, authors excavate the history and ongoing effects of genocide and colonialism. At the same time, the authors detail ways that listeners might imagine the world differently, presenting stories of Native community building that offer benefits for all. 
   
   
   
  In a world facing a mounting climate crisis and record economic inequality, Invisible No More exposes the deep wounds of a racist past while offering a powerful call to care for one another and the planet. Indigenous communities have much to offer, not the least of which are solutions gleaned from cultural knowledge developed over generations.

  Avoid the speed trap! Discover how changemakers can find lasting solutions to urgent social problems through a proven 5-step process for listening thoughtfully, building broad support, and exploring unconventional options. 
   
   
  Society celebrates leaders who promise fast, easy solutions to the world's problems-but quick fixes are just mirages that fade, leaving us with the same broken systems. The truth is, effective social change happens through slow, intentional actions. The author, a globally acclaimed social entrepreneur, offers a 5-step process for taking the slow lane to change-the lane that gets you to the right place faster: 
   
  -	Listening-Listen to build trust, which can change hearts and minds and allow for something new to emerge. 
  -	Holding the urgency-Accept that even in moments of crisis you can move only at the speed of trust instead of rushing into action. 
  -	Sharing the agency-Create an inclusive environment where everyone can lead. 
  -	Healing democracy-Build bridges that allow marginalized people to participate. 
  -	Maintaining curiosity-Be inspired by nontraditional sources. 
   
  Using dozens of examples-prison reform in England, urban development in Venezuela, healthcare in the Navajo Nation, early childhood education in New York, and many more-The Slow Lane shows how, by following the principles taught in this book, readers can create lasting change.
