Obama Takes Readers On A Compelling Journey From His Earliest Political Aspirations To The Pivotal Iowa Caucus Victory That Demonstrated The Power Of Grassroots Activism To The Watershed Night Of November 4, 2008, When He Was Elected 44th President Of The United States, Becoming The First African American To Hold The Nation's Highest Office. Reflecting On The Presidency, He Offers A Unique And Thoughtful Exploration Of Both The Awesome Reach And The Limits Of Presidential Power, As Well As Singular Insights Into The Dynamics Of U.s. Partisan Politics And International Diplomacy. Obama Brings Readers Inside The Oval Office And The White House Situation Room, And To Moscow, Cairo, Beijing, And Points Beyond. We Are Privy To His Thoughts As He Assembles His Cabinet, Wrestles With A Global Financial Crisis, Takes The Measure Of Vladimir Putin, Overcomes Seemingly Insurmountable Odds To Secure Passage Of The Affordable Care Act, Clashes With Generals About U.s. Strategy In Afghanistan, Tackles Wall Street Reform, Responds To The Devastating Deepwater Horizon Blowout, And Authorizes Operation Neptune's Spear, Which Leads To The Death Of Osama Bin Laden. A Promised Land Is Extraordinarily Intimate And Introspective--the Story Of One Man's Bet With History, The Faith Of A Community Organizer Tested On The World Stage. Obama Is Candid About The Balancing Act Of Running For Office As A Black American, Bearing The Expectations Of A Generation Buoyed By Messages Of Hope And Change, And Meeting The Moral Challenges Of High-stakes Decision-making. He Is Frank About The Forces That Opposed Him At Home And Abroad, Open About How Living In The White House Affected His Wife And Daughters, And Unafraid To Reveal Self-doubt And Disappointment. Yet He Never Wavers From His Belief That Inside The Great, Ongoing American Experiment, Progress Is Always Possible. This Beautifully Written And Powerful Book Captures Barack Obama's Conviction That Democracy Is Not A Gift From On High But Something Founded On Empathy And Common Understanding And Built Together, Day By Day. -- Provided By Publisher.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eCategories:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePolitics \u0026amp; Social Sciences\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePolitics \u0026amp; Government\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUnited States\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\u003cli class=\"category-tree\"\u003eExecutive Branch\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n","brand":"Crown","offers":[{"title":"Used - Good","offer_id":45260967739582,"sku":"1524763160-4","price":16.24,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Used - Very Good","offer_id":45260967772350,"sku":"1524763160-3","price":17.97,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Used - Acceptable","offer_id":45260967805118,"sku":"1524763160-5","price":16.24,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0640\/9689\/5166\/files\/91-6R0VxRiL.jpg?v=1754075837"},{"product_id":"0199790884-sayyid_qutb_the_life_and_legacy_of_a_radical_islamic_intellectual","title":"Sayyid Qutb: The Life and Legacy of a Radical Islamic Intellectual","description":"\n\u003cp\u003eJames Toth Traces The Life And Thought Of Sayyid Qutb, The Egyptian Thinker And Islamist Martyr Branded By The New York Times Magazine As The Philosopher Of Islamic Terror.

He charts his titanic feuds with Jefferson, Adams, Madison, Monroe and Burr; his highly public affair with Maria Reynolds; his loving marriage to his loyal wife Eliza; and the notorious duel with Aaron Burr that led to his death in July 1804.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eCategories:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBiographies \u0026amp; Memoirs\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLeaders \u0026amp; Notable People\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePresidents \u0026amp; Heads of State\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\u003cli class=\"category-tree\"\u003eU.S. Presidents\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n","brand":"Apollo","offers":[{"title":"Used - Poor","offer_id":45261592166590,"sku":"1800244398-6","price":18.24,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0640\/9689\/5166\/files\/518Gogaws6L._SL500.jpg?v=1754079693"},{"product_id":"0061730459-that_bird_has_my_wings_an_oprahs_book_club_pick","title":"That Bird Has My Wings: An Oprah's Book Club Pick","description":"\n\u003cp\u003eJarvis Jay Masters Has Taken An Extraordinary Journey Of Faith.

Suddenly, literature professors, librarians, and historians were training to perform undercover operations and investigative work—and these surprising spies would go on to profoundly shape both the course of the war and our cultural institutions with their efforts.\u003cbr\u003eIn Book and Dagger, Elyse Graham draws on personal histories, diaries, and declassified OSS files to tell the story of a small but connected group of humanities scholars turned unlikely spies. Among them are Joseph Curtiss, a literature professor who hunted down German spies and turned them into double agents; Sherman Kent, a smart-mouthed history professor who rose to become the head of analysis for all of Europe and Africa; and Adele Kibre, an archivist who was sent to Stockholm to secretly acquire documents for the OSS. These unforgettable characters would ultimately help lay the foundations of modern intelligence and transform American higher education when they returned after the war.\u003cbr\u003eThrillingly paced and rigorously researched, Book and Dagger is an inspiring and gripping true story about a group of academics who helped beat the Nazis—a tale that reveals the indelible power of humanities to change the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eCategories:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePolitics \u0026amp; Social Sciences\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePolitics \u0026amp; Government\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInternational \u0026amp; World Politics\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\u003cli class=\"category-tree\"\u003eEuropean\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n","brand":"Ecco","offers":[{"title":"Used - Acceptable","offer_id":45261685784766,"sku":"0063280841-5","price":999.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Used - Good","offer_id":46671285813438,"sku":"0063280841-4","price":14.47,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0640\/9689\/5166\/files\/81R5Z5rVAjL.jpg?v=1754080864"},{"product_id":"1682452042-power_the50_truths","title":"Power: The 50 Truths","description":"\n\u003cp\u003ePolitical consultant Doug Schoen has been the power-behind-the-throne to Presidents, Prime Ministers and even a politician-priest whose brother was a mafia boss.

But before writing that novel and before his previous work, \u003ci\u003eRust and Bone\u003c\/i\u003e, was made into a Golden Globe-nominated film, Davidson experienced a period of poverty, apparent failure and despair. In this new work of riveting and timely non-fiction, Davidson tells the unvarnished story of one transformative year in his life and of his unlikely relationships with a handful of unique and vibrant children who were, to his initial astonishment and bewilderment, and eventual delight, placed in his care for a couple of hours each day--the kids on school bus 3077.\u003cbr\u003e     One morning in 2008, desperate and impoverished while trying unsuccessfully to write, Davidson plucked a flyer out of his mailbox that read, \"Bus Drivers Wanted.\" That was the first step towards an unlikely new career: driving a school bus full of special-needs kids for a year. Armed only with a sense of humour akin to that of his charges, a creative approach to the challenge of driving a large, awkward vehicle while corralling a rowdy gang of kids, and unexpected reserves of empathy, Davidson takes us along for the ride. He shows us how his evolving relationship with the kids on that bus, each of them struggling physically as well as emotionally and socially, slowly but surely changed his life along with the lives of the \"precious cargo\" in his care. This is the extraordinary story of that year and those relationships. It is also a moving, important and universal story about how we see and treat people with special needs in our society.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eCategories:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBiographies \u0026amp; Memoirs\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLeaders \u0026amp; Notable People\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\u003cli class=\"category-tree\"\u003eSocial Activists\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n","brand":"Knopf Canada","offers":[{"title":"Used - Very Good","offer_id":47119119679678,"sku":"0345810511-3","price":15.24,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0640\/9689\/5166\/files\/81mwt19YJML.jpg?v=1754081451"},{"product_id":"0195309340-mohawk_saint_catherine_tekakwitha_and_the_jesuits","title":"Mohawk Saint: Catherine Tekakwitha and the Jesuits","description":"\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ethe Daughter Of A Algonquin Mother And An Iroquois Father, Catherine\/kateri Tekakwitha (1656-1680) Has Become Known Over The Centuries As A Catholic Convert So Holy That, Almost Immediately Upon Her Death, She Became The Object Of A Cult.

Kamau Bell, as well as family members including his brother and his late mother, we see the many sides of Tony—his motivations, his ambivalence, his vulnerability, his blind spots, and his brilliance.\u003cbr\u003eUnparalleled in scope and deeply intimate in its execution, with a treasure trove of photos from Tony's life, Bourdain: The Definitive Oral Biography is a testament to the life of a remarkable man in the words of the people who shared his world.\u003cbr\u003e      Review      \u003cbr\u003e“[Woolever’s] book is the first to begin to reveal [Anthony Bourdain]: It’s the most splintered, fractal, and complex portrait of the star that has yet emerged, an enormous compendium of individual observations gathered from 91 people who knew him, including his mother, his brother, his ex-wives and his daughter, friends from school and college, ex-girlfriends, fellow chefs, writers, editors, and television colleagues.” -- Maria Bustillos,\u003cbr\u003eEater.com\\\u003cbr\u003e“Woolever herself stays at arms length, to powerful effect, giving her cast of characters room to air their Bourdain grievances, both petty and life-altering, and unroots some rather profound conclusions—almost \u003cbr\u003eParts-Unknown-narration-level profound—about the man.” -- Esquire.com\\\u003cbr\u003e“Laurie Woolever, a writer and editor who was Anthony Bourdain's longtime assistant, uses quotes to bring readers deeper into his world. . . .

Her name was Christine Granville. That she died young was perhaps unsurprising; that she had survived the Second World War was remarkable.\u003cbr\u003eThe daughter of a feckless Polish aristocrat and his wealthy Jewish wife, Granville would become one of Britain's most daring and highly decorated special agents. Having fled to Britain on the outbreak of war, she was recruited by the intelligence services and took on mission after mission. She skied over the hazardous High Tatras into occupied Poland, served in Egypt and North Africa, and was later parachuted behind enemy lines into France, where an agent's life expectancy was only six weeks. Her courage, quick wit, and determination won her release from arrest more than once, and saved the lives of several fellow officers--including one of her many lovers--just hours before their execution by the Gestapo. More importantly, the intelligence she gathered in her espionage was a significant contribution to the Allied war effort, and she was awarded the George Medal, the OBE, and the Croix de Guerre.\u003cbr\u003eGranville exercised a mesmeric power on those who knew her. In \"The Spy Who Loved\",\" acclaimed biographer Clare Mulley tells the extraordinary history of this charismatic, difficult, fearless, and altogether extraordinary woman.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eCategories:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBiographies \u0026amp; Memoirs\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLeaders \u0026amp; Notable People\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMilitary\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\u003cli class=\"category-tree\"\u003eWorld War II\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n","brand":"Pan","offers":[{"title":"Used - Good","offer_id":45261808238782,"sku":"1447201183-4","price":19.97,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0640\/9689\/5166\/files\/51Cnt1lZ6pL._SL500.jpg?v=1754082639"}],"url":"https:\/\/shop.sustainablebooks.com\/collections\/books-biographies-memoirs-leaders-notable-people.oembed?page=22","provider":"Sustainable Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
