Book Description
An inspirational, practical, and research-based guide for standing up and speaking out skillfully at work. Have you ever wanted to disagree with your boss? Speak up about your company's lack of diversity or unequal pay practices? Make a tough decision you knew would be unpopular? We all have opportunities to be courageous at work. But since courage requires risk—to our reputations, our social standing, and, in some cases, our jobs—we often fail to act, which leaves us feeling powerless and regretful for not doing what we know is right. There's a better way to handle these crucial moments—and Choosing Courage provides the moral imperative and research-based tactics to help you become more competently courageous at work. Doing for courage what Angela Duckworth has done for grit and Brene Brown for vulnerability, Jim Detert, the world's foremost expert on workplace courage, explains that courage isn't a character trait that only a few possess; it's a virtue developed through practice. And with the right attitude and approach, you can learn to hone it like any other skill and incorporate it into your everyday life. Full of stories of ordinary people who've acted courageously, Choosing Courage will give you a fresh perspective on the power of voicing your authentic ideas and opinions. Whether you’re looking to make a mark, stay true to your values, act with more integrity, or simply grow as a professional, this is the guide you need to achieve greater impact at work.

Book Description
This adventure, is packed with so much rich historical fact, the idea of fiction will be pushed from your mind. For instance, in the first chapter, there is a fire at 159 Hudson Street.In 1844, when our adventure starts, there was, in fact, a fire at 159 Hudson Street, in New York City. At the age of twelve, Brad Jamestown becomes a street kid in the most horrid city of the times, New York City in the eighteen hundreds. That is an unrelenting location to learn how to survive. He develops a street gutter heart. Soon he is taken in by two very tough, but decent men that own a saloon. His ability to fight to extremes is a story in itself. By way of a realistic situation, Brad is taught how to defend himself without weapons. Some of the confrontations were taken from events that happened in my own life. The methods and results are real. In this part of our thriller, you’ll learn horrendous facts about New York City, caused by the tremendous incoming of immigrants. Among many regrettable details, you’ll learn that seventy percent of the deaths were child. Child prostitution was rampant. Brad is given some simple advice from his mentors. ‘If you’re going to fight with every jackass you meet, be prepared to fight every day for the rest of your life.’ Another man tells him, ‘You’re to young to be a lover, be a liker. And, remember there’s enough women in the world that want to fool around, don’t pick on the one’s that don’t. Factual information is added to the story about baseball. It’s injected periodically to add some lightness too my writing. The first recorded baseball game was on June 19, 1847. Brad attends the game. In that game, the first fine was handed out.The pitcher, Davis was fined six cents for swearing at the umpire. Another game that Brad goes to, further into the story, is the first game that started the biggest and longest rivalry in baseball history, between the Giants and the Dodgers. During this time in baseball history, there was only one league, the National. The first pitcher to throw a no-hitter, was Joe Borden on May 23, 1875. Borden and Davis, interesting. When Brad was young, his mother and father were teachers and he was well educated. An event forces, Brad to move on from the saloon and his first job is working for Mr. Cogswell. He is a loveable, middle-aged man who was chosen to make the John Jacob Astor library a reality. Mr. Astor before his death bequeathed his personal library and forty thousand dollars to make his dream come true. Mr. Cogswell does quite a good job in adding knowledge to the young man’s mind. One difference between humanity and animals is, animals don’t have libraries. We learn that Brad is a restless young man. His next job is at the New York Daily Times. He is hired just before the first edition hits the street. The publisher, Mr. Henry Jarvis Raymond, takes him under his wing. The young man learns much about society. I do not take any writer’s license to justify this thought-provoking thriller. I believe a tale that grasps a readers thoughts should be logical. Frank, a reporter at the Times, becomes one of his teachers. He warns him not to be bamboozled into a false interview. He gives him an example of a young man who got the New York Sun to publish an article that immigrants were being brought into America from Europe by balloon. The man who completed the hoax was none other than Edgar Allan Poe. Frank tells Brad he should patronize high class restaurants, every once in awhile. That way he will be able to rub elbows with the rich and prosperous. Brad, although only nineteen now, is a fine figure of a man. He appears much older than he looks. One night, he goes to a fine restaurant. A twist of fate brings love into his life.It so happens,the lady is a very expensive, high class prostitute. Another part of his person is educated. As we start to put the pieces together, Brad is becoming a very well rounded young man. It so happens, the next time he goes to ru

Book Description
Engrossing...Tolkien's principles--patriotism, Medievalism, localism, Catholicism--are certainly out of fashion today. And yet they're the foundation for all his books, which have sold hundreds of millions of copies. Mr. Smith does a wonderful job of explaining why modern readers are so enthralled by Tolkien's reactionary vision. Whether you're a casual Lord of the Rings fan or a serious Tolkien scholar, every page of Mr. Smith's book will delight and fascinate. And if anyone ever tells you that fairy-tales are only for children, hand him this book. Tolkien ought to be regarded as one of the great social critics of our time, as Mr. Smith so masterfully demonstrates. -Michael Warren Davis is an editor for Sophia Institute Press and the author of The Reactionary Mind: Why Conservative Isn't Enough. You can find him on his blog, The Common Man. As the popularity of Tolkien's work continues to endure, the importance of Jeb Smith's work continues to grow. This is because of a prolonged siege against Tolkien's work: the attempt to dislodge it from its Christian and Biblical foundations. Jeb Smith's insights are immensely helpful to this and future generations of Tolkien admirers. Scott L. Smith, author of Lord of the Rings and the Eucharist J.R.R. Tolkien's Middle-earth has captured the imaginations of millions of readers around the world for generations. He is considered the father of modern fantasy, but few understand how Tolkien's worldview impacted his mythology. The Road Goes Ever On and On is the first book of its kind to place Tolkien within his proper context, giving the reader a deeper understanding of Tolkien and Middle-earth. Smith takes us on a quest through a wide range of Tolkien's writings to unlock Tolkien's perspective--a perspective that, like the elves who have sailed into the West leaving Middle-earth, has faded away from our world. You will gain an in-depth knowledge of Tolkien's views on politics, environmentalism, religion, and much more. From the Valar to Hobbits, the free peoples closely follow Tolkien's sentiments. In contrast, forces under the Shadow represent what Tolkien believed was immoral. Covering a wide range of topics, The Road Goes Ever On and On is filled with breathtaking illustrations bringing Middle-earth to life like never before, making this the 'one book to rule them all.'
