The Collected Works - Enriched edition

Theodore Roosevelt, Henry Cabot Lodge

Sinopse

The Collected Works bring together a compelling array of essays and speeches that capture the dynamic interplay of themes central to American political, social, and historical discourse. With a tapestry that intricately weaves the nuanced reflections on democracy, leadership, and the American spirit, this anthology showcases a diverse range of literary styles that move from the foundational to the highly contemplative. The collection not only reveals an enduring testament to the clashing ideals of its era but also marks the evolution in thought and style from rhetoric to reflective prose, making it a significant contribution to understanding the literary and cultural fabric of its time. Curated by luminaries Theodore Roosevelt and Henry Cabot Lodge, both distinguished figures in their own right, the works reflect their deep commitment to and understanding of the American ethos. Roosevelt, renowned for his assertive spirit and vigorous progressivism, and Lodge, noted for his influential career and nuanced diplomacy, here converge to provide a unique lens on late 19th and early 20th-century America. This collaboration reflects their shared vision, enriched by a blend of political acumen and philosophical insight, capturing the zeitgeist of their respective environments and professions. For the keen reader eager to traverse the heights of American intellectual thought, The Collected Works offers a profound introduction into multifaceted perspectives woven together by two celebrated figures. Its educational value lies in its breadth, offering insights into the turbulence and triumphs of American history and thought. This anthology invites an engaging dialogue across boundaries of discipline and time, encouraging readers to consider the ongoing legacies and the resonant power of words in shaping historical narratives.

But while the boy would never have chosen such circumstance, it's the man who can look back and say he would not have changed it.

A frontliner in the converging worlds of technology and communications, de la Vega takes readers behind the scenes of the Internet revolution, shares insights from the nation's top technology companies, and chronicles the incredible obstacles intrinsic to successfully merging the largest wireless operations in U.S. history.
Obstacles Welcome is an innovation manifesto for those committed to bigger thinking and greater results both professionally and personally. He clearly defines how to:Create a detailed action plan to boost successIdentify and take calculated risks without fearCreate a values-centric, decisive leadership styleTransform vision into measurable resultsRecognize opportunities and overcome obstaclesCommunicate well and build alignmentUnlearn thinking that hinders innovationDream big and throw off mental limits once and for all

What It Takes to Save a Life - A...

Kwane Stewart

From Dr. Kwane Stewart, CNN's Hero of the Year for 2023.
Mountains Beyond Mountains meets Tattoos On the Heart in this unforgettable, powerful, and stunningly-told memoir of a struggling veterinarian saving animals and humans on the streets of California - and how he discovered what bonds all living creatures.
Dr. Kwane Stewart was questioning his career as a veterinarian when he saw a homeless man with a flea-infested dog outside of a convenience store. In a moment of spontaneous generosity, he offered to examine the dog and treat him for free. It was the first step in a now nine-year journey that has taken Dr. Kwane from Skid Row to San Francisco and beyond to care for pets and their humans who are living on the streets.
In What It Takes to Save a Life, Dr. Kwane shows how our four-legged, feathered, scaled, and swimming family members—these dogs, cats, birds, reptiles, and other animals that live side by side with us—provide more than companionship. They offer essential love, hope, and a sense of security.
Written with striking honesty and rich detail, Dr. Kwane looks back on his childhood, how he discovered his appreciation for animals and his calling, and offers a frank assessment of the state of veterinary medicine today, where compassion fatigue, burnout, and suicide are facts of life. Full of warm and inspiring stories of human-animal relationships, this powerful and eye-opening book is a reminder that we are all members of a wider family. It is also a clarion call for each of us to help those in need—especially our most vulnerable brothers and sisters—and the animals who are their families. Wise and warm, Dr. Stewart's story is a reminder that one life can make an immeasurable difference.

The Valley of the Kings - Tombs...

Omar Khalil

The Valley of the Kings, one of the most iconic archaeological sites in the world, first captured the attention of explorers and scholars in the 18th century. Though long known to local inhabitants, it was not until European adventurers began systematically exploring Egypt that the valley's true significance came to light. These early explorers, driven by a mix of scholarly curiosity and treasure hunting, began mapping and cataloging the tombs they encountered in the barren hills west of the Nile. Among them were figures like Giovanni Belzoni and Howard Carter, whose efforts would lay the foundation for modern Egyptology.
The role of local communities, particularly the people of Qurna and other nearby villages, cannot be overlooked. Many locals worked closely with foreign archaeologists, guiding them through the rugged terrain and even assisting in excavations. Their intimate knowledge of the landscape proved invaluable. Some families, generation after generation, were involved in archaeological digs, and many tombs might have remained hidden much longer without their contributions. However, this collaboration also brought complex dynamics, especially regarding the protection of cultural heritage and the handling of newly uncovered treasures.
Transforming what seemed like a lifeless desert into a thriving center of discovery, the Valley soon became a symbol of ancient grandeur and mystery. The dry climate and remote location helped preserve many of the tombs, allowing researchers to uncover not only the resting places of kings but also the beliefs, rituals, and artistry of ancient Egypt. With each new find, the Valley revealed more about the powerful individuals buried there and the civilization they ruled.
