Binding Us Together
Author: Alvin Brooks
Publisher: Andrews McMeel Publishing
ISBN: 1524869996
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 436
Book Description
A heartfelt, inspiring narrative that is inextricably linked to the nation’s past and present, civil rights activist and public servant Alvin Brooks shares engaging, funny, and tragic stories of his life and career of advocacy. Few have faced adversity like Alvin Brooks has. He was born into an impoverished family, he nearly lost his adoptive father to the justice system of the South, and he barely survived a health crisis in infancy. However, his greatest challenges would be learning how to navigate a racist society as a young boy and then later protecting his beloved wife, Carol, and their six children. Despite all the adversity he faced, Brooks became a lifelong leader and a servant of his community. Brooks served as one of Kansas City’s first Black police officers in the fifties, helped to heal the racial divide after the riots following the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr., founded the AdHoc Group Against Crime, affecting real change in city government, and met with successive American presidents on national issues. When it comes to criminal justice, civil rights, and racial inequity, Brooks’s lifetime of building bridges across society’s divides helps us better understand our past, make sense of our present, and envision our future. Alvin Brooks proves that a good heart, a generous spirit, and a lot of work can connect the world; one person can make a difference by binding us together.

Future Shock
Author: Alvin Toffler
Publisher: Ballantine Books
ISBN: 0593159470
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 625
Book Description
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • The classic work that predicted the anxieties of a world upended by rapidly emerging technologies—and now provides a road map to solving many of our most pressing crises. “Explosive . . . brilliantly formulated.” —The Wall Street Journal Future Shock is the classic that changed our view of tomorrow. Its startling insights into accelerating change led a president to ask his advisers for a special report, inspired composers to write symphonies and rock music, gave a powerful new concept to social science, and added a phrase to our language. Published in over fifty countries, Future Shock is the most important study of change and adaptation in our time. In many ways, Future Shock is about the present. It is about what is happening today to people and groups who are overwhelmed by change. Change affects our products, communities, organizations—even our patterns of friendship and love. But Future Shock also illuminates the world of tomorrow by exploding countless clichés about today. It vividly describes the emerging global civilization: the rise of new businesses, subcultures, lifestyles, and human relationships—all of them temporary. Future Shock will intrigue, provoke, frighten, encourage, and, above all, change everyone who reads it.

Book Description
Reviews "As a psychologist I am all too aware that the principals of the Laws of Attraction are badly explained everywhere. "Manifestation Magic" does what it says on the tin, it explains simply, easily and more importantly correctly how to get everything that you desire in life. Rich people do not think like other people, they know that they cannot fail. Most people find that reconciling your conscious mind with your subconscious mind is really difficult, and yet unless you master that basic skill you are doomed to be caught up in an endless loop of repeating past mistakes. Most people assume that it is the subconscious mind that gets in the way of their success and that is why you are doomed to fail, because it is your conscious mind that puts the damper on your hopes and dreams. However you have to successfully free yourself from your excuses and your self-limiting decisions and this eBook tells you exactly how to do it.
