Sinopsis

The Winning of the West (Complete Edition) is a seminal work by Theodore Roosevelt that chronicles the expansion of the American frontier from the time of the early settlers through the period of the American Civil War. Combining meticulous historical detail with a vigorous prose style, Roosevelt presents a narrative that captures the spirit of adventure and the struggles of diverse figures including settlers, Native Americans, and soldiers. The book is marked by its romanticized depiction of the frontier experience, intertwining personal anecdotes from Roosevelt's own life with sweeping historical analysis, which reflects the era's burgeoning nationalism and the ideology of American exceptionalism. Theodore Roosevelt, the 26th President of the United States, was deeply influenced by his experiences as a Westerner and naturalist. His background as a historian and an avid outdoorsman fueled his passion for documenting the history of the American West. Roosevelt's own health challenges and a formative journey through the Badlands of North Dakota instilled in him a profound appreciation for the rugged individualism and tenacity that characterized the frontier spirit, which he sought to portray in this influential work. Readers who seek a comprehensive and captivating understanding of America's westward expansion will find The Winning of the West to be an indispensable resource. Roosevelt's engaging narrative style and his insightful reflections on national identity make this book an essential read for historians, students, and anyone interested in the complexities of American history and ideology.

    The Mess of Me: Pain, Rejection, and the Fight to be Whole, is a raw, compassionate memoir about facing the truth we hide—and discovering that in the mess, we are still deeply loved.Joe Atinsky doesn’t offer a sanitized story or a tidy path to healing. Instead, he opens the door to his own lived experience—years of perfectionism, buried shame, spiritual pressure, and the unraveling of everything he thought would save him. But this isn’t a story about falling apart. It’s a story about what begins to grow when the hiding stops.With honesty and gentleness, Joe invites listeners into his journey—not to shock, but to show. To offer a voice for those who may never feel safe to share their pain out loud. Whether you’re walking through faith deconstruction, emotional exhaustion, identity confusion, or the long, quiet work of healing from childhood wounds—this story is here to meet you in your own mess.Through therapy, spiritual honesty, and the grace of real community, Joe finds a way forward. He doesn’t abandon faith—he rebuilds it. Not through performance, but through presence. Not by becoming someone else, but by finally becoming himself.The Mess of Me speaks to the silent parts inside us all. It’s for anyone who’s been told to be perfect, to be strong, to hold it together no matter the cost. And it’s for those ready to begin again—not by fixing what’s broken, but by honoring what’s real.In the mess, we are seen. In the mess, we are loved. In the mess, there is a beginning, a middle, and an end. And in that sacred space, wounded purpose can recover—and the real you can finally begin to live.

    Foreword by Andy Hargreaves.Hero headship is out. Imperfect leadership is in. This book is designed to help leaders develop and embrace an imperfect leadership mindset as a foundation for growth and development. In his first book, Imperfect Leadership: A book for leaders who know they don't know it all, Steve Munby uses the word 'imperfect' to describe his own leadership style. This is not something he apologises for; he feels imperfect leadership should be celebrated. Too often we are given examples of leaders who are put on some kind of pedestal, lauded as superheroes who have it all worked out and are so good at what they do that nobody else can come close. But imperfect leadership is the antidote to this flawed perception. In Imperfect Leadership in Action, Steve has teamed up with Marie-Claire Bretherton to delve in more detail into a broad range of themes under the umbrella of imperfect leadership. Writing with sparkling clarity, the authors explore the approach's key principles and share engaging exercises and inspiring case studies which give voice to a wide range of experiences from across the education sector.The central message is that we can use our imperfections as a springboard for leadership development by asking for help, investing in self-reflection, focusing on building teams - and by trying to be a better version of ourselves tomorrow than we were today.The book provides numerous prompts for self-reflection, and also includes a chapter on leading in times of change (such as the COVID-19 lockdowns) and how the principles of imperfect leadership turn out to be equally applicable in times of crisis.Suitable for all those in or aspiring to leadership positions in education.

    There is a huge racial wealth gap in America today. Owning a business is one of the best ways to build wealth—but entrepreneurs need capital. And investing in Black companies is obstructed by systemic racism and implicit biases that continue to create barriers to success. 
     
     
     
    Merging historical information and data, along with tactical examples and explanations, this practical guide shows us what needs to be done in order to change the way we support Black companies and how we think about wealth. 
     
     
     
    Norwood calls for investors to move away from extractive, individualistic, exploitative approaches to capital and entrepreneurship. She asks us to move toward transformational, restorative, regenerative, and interdependent relationships to repair the impacts of systemic racism. Investors, large and small, need to say to Black business owners, "we believe in you." 
     
     
     
    With an entrepreneur-centric approach, Believe-In-You Money challenges the system failure surrounding Black companies. It's a guide on how Black entrepreneurs can be supported in sustainable ways and offers a shift in the way we think about who can be an investor, while aiming to change our personal relationships with money.
