Summary

Ann Arbor has seen many cherished landmarks and institutions come and go - some fondly remembered and others lost to time.When the city was little more than a village in the wilderness, its first school stood on the now busy corner of Main and Ann. Stores like Bach & Abel's and Dean & Co. served local needs as the village grew into a small town. As the town became a thriving city, Drake's and Maude's fed generations of hungry diners, and Fiegel's clothed father and son alike. Residents passed their time seeing movies at the Majestic or watching parades go down Main Street. Join authors Patti F. Smith and Britain Woodman on a tour of the city's past.

    Do you know How to Talk to Anyone? Do you want to know How to Talk to Anyone? 
    It doesn’t have to be someone important who is speaking to us to make us feel important…or not. Even the person sitting next to us on the bus has the ability to make us feel significant, or, like we don’t matter at all. Regardless of how we may try to wiggle around it, while the ultimate goal of your communication may be to inform or express, you are never going to succeed at doing so if the person you are talking to feels you have no value for him or her. 
    Every (good) speaker knows that the best delivery is one that makes each person in the audience feel every word was just for him or her. 
    In the art of effective conversation as well as public speaking, it is imperative to take an interest in the person or persons you are talking to. 
    Know what they like and what they don’t like. 
    Learn what interests them. 
    When you are uptight about speaking, be it publicly or privately, people sense your fear. While you work on getting over your anxiety of talking through measures taken in this book, you can fake it until you make it. Just pretending that you are not so nervous will help relax the person or persons you are speaking to and it might calm you as well.

  • Straight White Male - A Faith-Based Guide to Deconstructing Your Privilege and Living with Integrity - cover

    Straight White Male - A...

    As the cultural conversation around race, gender, and sexuality has evolved, straight, white men are becoming increasingly aware of their privilege. But many may be left thinking, "OK, what am I supposed to do about it?" "We need a way forward beyond feelings of guilt, overwhelmingness, anger, and denial." "We are looking for transformative guidance that helps us be the good guys we want to be." 
     
     
     
    Straight, white, male pastor Chris Furr offers a guide to deconstructing that privilege in Straight White Male. With an emphasis on confession and redemption, Furr invites other privileged men to reconsider the ways they live, work, believe, and interact with others. Alongside Furr's perspective, essays from contributing writers who lack various types of privilege—straight, Black man William J. Barber II, straight, white woman Melissa Florer-Bixler, queer, nonbinary latinx Robyn Henderson-Espinoza, and gay, white man Matthias Roberts—offer insights on how particular types and combinations of privilege (and the lack thereof) shape the way we move through the world. Their combined voices offer much-needed perspective through this deconstruction and provide a vision for how straight, white men can do better for ourselves, our families, and society.
