Becoming Ronald Reagan
Author: Robert Mann
Publisher: U of Nebraska Press
ISBN: 1612349684
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 320
Book Description
In the 1960s transitioning from acting to politics was rare. Ronald Reagan was not the first to do it, but he was the first to jump from the screen to the stump and on to credibility as a presidential contender. Reagan’s transformation from struggling liberal actor to influential conservative spokesman in five years—and then to the California governorship six years later—is a remarkable and compelling story. In Becoming Ronald Reagan Robert Mann explores Reagan’s early life and his career during the 1950s and early 1960s: his growing desire for acclaim in high school and college, his political awakening as a young Hollywood actor, his ideological evolution in the 1950s as he traveled the country for General Electric, the refining of his political skills during this period, his growing aversion to big government, and his disdain for the totalitarian leaders in the Soviet Union and elsewhere. All these experiences and more shaped Reagan’s politics and influenced his career as an elected official. Mann not only demonstrates how Reagan the actor became Reagan the political leader and how the liberal became a conservative, he also shows how the skills Reagan learned and the lessons he absorbed from 1954 to 1964 made him the inspiring leader so many Americans remember and revere to this day. Becoming Ronald Reagan is an indelible portrait of a true American icon and a politician like none other. Purchase the audio edition.

Saving Sailing
Author: Nicholas D. Hayes
Publisher: Crickhollow Books
ISBN: 9781933987071
Category : Families
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
Saving Sailing makes an eloquent case for the revival of family sailing -- and similar uses of free time for lifelong pastimes that enrich our lives. The issue: participation in sailing is declining in America, down more than 40% since 1997 and 70% since 1979. In this wide-ranging book, researcher and avid sailor Nicholas Hayes explains why. The book shows how pressures on free time have increased, and how, in response, many Americans have turned to less rewarding forms of passive or overly structured activities and away from lifelong, family-based, multi-generational recreation. Saving Sailing builds a case for choosing how to spend free time better, seeking quality experiences with families and friends through lifelong pastimes like sailing. The main challenge, he suggests, is to develop an active system of mentoring, especially between generations. The lessons are broader than sailing, with useful ideas for all parents, for anyone seeking to strengthen the social fabric of American communities, and for those involved in programming for youth and adult activities. Author Nick Hayes is a market researcher and partner at the consulting firm FiveTwelve Group, and is active in the Milwaukee sailing scene. He has studied sailing, sailors, and sailing clubs for years, and interviewed more than 1,200 sailors worldwide since 2003 for this book. He lives in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
