Sinopsis

In "The Black Panther of the Navaho," Warren H. Miller unveils a rich tapestry of Navajo culture interwoven with themes of identity, spirituality, and resilience. Through a compelling narrative that melds realism with evocative imagery, Miller employs a lyrical style that echoes the oral traditions of the Navajo while addressing contemporary issues facing Native American communities. The book's context in post-war America highlights the dichotomy between traditional ways of life and the encroaching modernity, offering a profound commentary on cultural survival and adaptation. Warren H. Miller, a noted anthropologist and writer, has long been an advocate for Native American rights and representation. His extensive immersion in Navajo communities and study of their rich heritage not only informs the authenticity of his narrative but also reflects his passion for bridging cultural divides. With a keen awareness of the struggles faced by Indigenous populations, Miller draws on both his academic background and personal experiences to create a gripping tale that resonates with broader social themes. This book is highly recommended for readers interested in Indigenous narratives, cultural anthropology, and modern American literature. "The Black Panther of the Navaho" serves not only as an engaging story but as a vital exploration of the Navajo spirit, making it essential reading for those seeking to understand the complexities and beauty of Native American life.

    Vision’s  infinite range of influence knows no boundaries. It flows from the youngest to the oldest, from the novice to the most experienced member of the team. It infiltrates the organization with freshness of purpose and clearness of direction. The leader clothed with the clarity of vision, exposes others to the knowledge, necessity and power of vision. Then becomes an instrument in helping them understand the work of vision. The energy and the ontagiousness of vision develops a persistent personality within the leader and within the organization that recognizes it and seeks after it. Vision helps every person within the organization to see that the role of leader calls their name and refers to them as the leader in their area of influence. This keen awareness awakens dreams that ignite the hearts, inspire the minds and move the people to greatness.
     
    Questions are presented to help the leader reflect on the current state and identify important 
    next steps that will propel the organization forward. Examples and strategies are included which the leader can employ to inspire vision within others and strengthen partnerships with them that build up the organization and help it move to its highest level of effectiveness.

    A military biography of the American soldier and statesman who managed the WWII Lend-Lease program and acted as governor of postwar Germany.During World War II, President Roosevelt called upon Lucius D. Clay to run military procurement. It took a man of his logistical genius to oversee the requirements of an eight-million-man army. Clay set priorities, negotiated contracts, monitored production, and coordinated military Lend-Lease—all without a breath of scandal.In 1945, Clay was called upon once again to act as military governor of a decimated Germany. He dealt with everything from de-Nazification to quarrelsome allies, from feeding a starving people to processing vast numbers of homeless and displaced. Above all, he had to convince a doubting American public and a hostile State Department that German recovery was essential to the stability of Europe.Clay went on to play key roles in business and politics, advising presidents of both parties. He helped run Eisenhower's 1952 campaign, led the federal highway program, raised the ransom money for the Bay of Pigs prisoners, and boosted morale in Germany as the Berlin Wall was built. In honor of their debt to him, the Berliners placed a simple stone tablet at his West Point grave: Wir Danken Dem Bewahrer Unserer Freiheit—We Thank the Defender of Our Freedom.

    From 1845 to 1852, the Great Hunger, also referred to as the Potato Famine, was a period of a lot of starvation and illness in Ireland. The period was known in Irish at the time as a Drochshaol, loosely translated as "the hard days," with the most badly affected districts in the west and south of Ireland, where the Irish language was popular (or actually "the bad life"). 
    The year 1847, at times called "Black '47," was the absolute worst year of the period. Around 1 million people died and over a million left the nation throughout the Great Famine, triggering the nation's population to come by 20% to 25%, with certain cities coming by as much as 67 percent between 1841 and 1851. And between the years 1845 and 1855, about 2.1 million people were leaving Ireland, primarily aboard package ships but also on steamboats and barks. This actually made it one of the biggest mass migrations from a single isle in all of history. 
    Let’s explore this tragic event in history, and let’s see what led up to this, what happened afterwards, and how historians look at it now.
