HEART OF A WOMEN, the fourth
volume of Maya Angelou's autobiography, describes the beginning of her
writing career and the years when she first became politically active,
relating encounters with the Harlem Writers Guild and Martin Luther
King, Jr. Two-time Grammy Award-winner Maya Angelou performs her
memorable fourth volume of autobiography, which began so auspiciously
with I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings.
The Heart of a Woman sings with Maya Angelou's eloquent prose and is
filled with unforgettable vignettes of famous people, from Billie
Holiday to Malcolm X. Even more central is Maya Angelou's chronicle of
the joys and the burdens of being a black mother in America and how
the son she has cherished so intensely and worked for so devotedly
finally grows to be a man |
|
Her soulful, soaring voice
has earned her mythic status. Now, in her own moving words, the woman
behind the myth is revealed. The result is a captivating self-portrait
of one of this century's most fascinating artists, an Aretha Franklin
as real as the songs she sings.
For the first time anywhere, Aretha tells her story--the glorious
triumphs as well as the heartbreaking pain. With refreshing candor,
Aretha tells it like it is, the way she sees it, the way she lived it.
In Aretha: From These Roots, the singer gets up-close and personal. In
rich detail, she paints a vivid picture of a Detroit long gone: the
storefront churches, the basement parties, the explosive R&B shows.
She documents her life as a single teenage mother, working to balance
home life with career, coping with two challenging marriages and,
later, romantic relationships that were the source of both tremendous
joy and unforeseen heartache. |

At the historically black
college of Dillard University in the lush mystical city of New
Orleans, the beautiful and serious Leslie Beaudet is struggling with a
dark secret of power in a world that is pulling her in many different
directions. In the eyes of her Haitian immigrant father, Leslie is a
queen who deserves more than the broken dreams and carnage of poverty.
To her Black Indian mother, she is a source of pride and strength, a
reason for carrying on. To her younger sister, already a mother of two
and a high school dropout, Leslie is the only person who cares enough
to share her woes. To her brother, she is the victim he failed to
protect. To her college peers and teachers, Leslie is a determined,
resourceful student, most likely to succeed, yet impenetrably private.
When a series of murders befall her New Orlean's community they point
in Leslie's direction. Slowly, her friends and relatives realize
they've never really known Leslie -- a complicated young woman
terrified of failure, struggling with painful family secrets, praying
for security that has eluded everyone around her, and craving the
power to change her fate, a power that was hidden from her until
now...when it's too late to stop her. |

There is a door at the end of
a silent corridor. And it's haunting Harry Potter's dreams. Why else
would he be waking in the middle of the night, screaming in terror?
Here are just a few things on Harry's mind:
-
A Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher with a personality like
poisoned honey.
-
A venomous, disgruntled house-elf
-
Ron as keeper of the Gryffindor Quidditch team
-
The looming terror of the end-of-term - -Ordinary Wizarding Level exams
. . . and of course, the growing threat of He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named.
In the richest installment yet of J. K. Rowling's seven-part story,
Harry Potter is faced with the unreliability of the very government of
the magical world and the impotence of the authorities at Hogwarts.
Despite this (or perhaps because of it), he finds depth and strength
in his friends, beyond what even he knew, boundless loyalty; and
unbearable sacrifice.
Though thick runs the plot, listeners will race through these tapes
and leave Hogwarts, like Harry, wishing only for the next train back.
Synopsis:
As Harry enters his fifth year at wizard school, it seems the bonds of
friendship and trust have never been more sorely tested. Lord
Voldemort's rise has opened a rift in the wizarding world between
those who believe the truth about his return, and those who prefer to
believe it's all madness and lies — just more trouble from Harry

Fish! Sticks employs the same
kind of easy-to-use story that was used in Fish! to illustrate its
three main commitments for continued success: Find IT, Live IT, Coach
IT, where the "IT" is each employee's own personal vision, found
within the overall vision for the business. Chock-full of
easy-to-grasp examples, this audiobook provides advice that is
concrete and can produce immediate improvements in employee morale,
customer satisfaction, and productivity - for both the short and long
term. If you have ever made change or innovation only to feel soon
after that you were backsliding - or if you want to identify what's
working in your workplace and make sure that it keeps working - then
Fish! Sticks is a program that will help you achieve your goals.
Unabridged on 3 compact discs. |

The phenomenal international
bestseller Fish! told the story of a fictional company that

Place Fish market. Now, with Fish! Tales, readers can learn how people

techniques that can be put to use right away in any kind of business
or organization - even at home. And this audiobook stands on its own,
so newcomers to the "Fish! Philosophy" will be just as inspired by its
examples as the millions who have already read or experienced Fish! In
all of the stories, real people discuss honestly and in their own
words the difficulties they encountered while trying to transform
their workplaces - and how they overcame reluctance, resistance, and
employee burnout. Fish! Tales also features dozens of short bites
drawn from an even larger variety of business and life situations.

Ending Violence in
Yourself, Your Family, Your Community, and the World - In Creating
True Peace, Thich Nhat Hanh uses a beautiful blend of visionary
insight, inspiring stories of peacemaking, and a combination of
meditation practices and instruction to show us how to take Right
Action. An audiobook for people of all faiths, this is a magnum opus
-- a compendium of peace practices that can help anyone practice
nonviolent thought and behavior, even in the midst of world upheaval.
Creating True Peace tells stories of Thich Nhat Hanh and his students
practicing peace during wartime. These demonstrate that violence is an
outmoded response we can no longer afford. The simple, but powerful
daily actions and everyday interactions that Thich Nhat Hanh
recommends can root out violence where it lives in our hearts and
minds and help us discover the power to create peace at every level of
life -- personal, family, neighborhood, community, state, nation, and
world. |

The acclaimed account of
slavery in America, illuminating how Africans and Europeans built a
nation. A riveting narrative history of America, from the 1607 landing
in Jamestown to the brink of the Civil War, Africans in America tells
the shared history of Africans and Europeans as seen through the lens
of slavery. It is told from the point of view of the Africans who
arrived in shackles and endured the terrible dichotomy of this new
land founded on the ideal of liberty but dedicated to the perpetuation
of slavery. Meticulously researched, this book weaves together the
experiences of the colonists, slaves, free and fugitive blacks, and
abolitionists to present an utterly original document, a startling and
moving drama of the effects of slavery and racism on our conflicted
national identity. The result transcends history as we were taught it
and transforms the way we see our past. |
