Book Description
Deja had always stood by her best friend Heath because she'd been in love with him for years. When Heath asks to be her lover, she thinks things are headed in the right direction. Unfortunately, Heath's late father had been sitting on a secret that could blow their fledgling relationship apart. The pills Heath has been taking all his life weren't to help him through debilitating headaches but to suppress his true nature. Heath is a white tiger shifter, and his secret is out. Someone wants him dead or alive. In order to protect Deja, Heath breaks up with her and leaves town to get answers. Deja refuses to be tossed aside by the man she loves. Heath is facing danger and uncertainty, and to be with him could mean Deja's own death, but he needs her more than ever. She doesn't care that there's a violent beast inside of him and someone is hunting him down. She will fight to be by his side and go wherever he goes. Now the two of them have to stay ahead of the enemy and find out the truth of Heath's past before it's too late.

A Bound Man
Author: Shelby Steele
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 1416560890
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 170
Book Description
An illuminating examination of the complex racial issues that President Barack Obama faced in his race for the White House, a quest that forced a national dialogue on the current state of race relations in America, by the author of the New York Times bestseller and NBCC winner The Content of Our Character. Poverty and inequality are typically the focus of dialogues that take place during presidential elections, but Obama’s bid for so high an office pushed the conversation to a more abstract level where race is a politics of guilt and innocence generated by our painful racial history—a kind of morality play between (and within) the races in which innocence is power and guilt is impotence. Steele writes of how Obama was caught between the two classic postures that Blacks have always used to make their way in the white American mainstream: bargaining and challenging. Bargainers strike a “bargain” with white America in which they say, I will not rub America’s ugly history of racism in your face if you will not hold my race against me. Challengers do the opposite of bargainers. They charge whites with inherent racism and then demand that they prove themselves innocent by supporting Black-friendly policies like affirmative action and diversity. Steele maintains that, during the race, Obama was too constrained by these elaborate politics to find his own true political voice. Obama has the temperament, intelligence, and background—an interracial family, a sterling education—to guide America beyond the exhausted racial politics that now prevail. And yet he is a Promethean figure, a bound man. Says Steele, Americans are constrained by a racial correctness so totalitarian that we are afraid even to privately ask ourselves what we think about racial matters. Like Obama, most of us find it easier to program ourselves for correctness rather than risk knowing and expressing what we truly feel. Obama emerges as a kind of Everyman in whom we can see our own struggle to accept and honor what we honestly feel about race. In A Bound Man, Steele makes clear the precise constellation of forces that bind Obama and proposes a way for him to break these bonds and find his own voice. The courage to trust in one’s own careful judgment is the new racial progress, the “way out” from the forces that now bind us all.

Enchanted by Cinema
Author: Jan-Christopher Horak
Publisher: Berghahn Books
ISBN: 1805395386
Category : Performing Arts
Languages : en
Pages : 370
Book Description
William Thiele is remembered today as the father of the sound film operetta with seminal classics such as Drei von der Tankstelle (1930). While often considered among the most accomplished directors of Late Weimar cinema, as an Austrian Jew he was vilified during the onset of the Nazi regime in 1933 and fled to the United States where he continued making films until the end of his career in 1960. Enchanted by Cinema closely examines the European musical film pioneer’s work and his cross-cultural perspective across forty years of filmography in Berlin and Hollywood to account for his popularity while discussing issues of ethnicity, exile, comedy, music, gender, and race.

Microtrends
Author: Mark Penn
Publisher: Twelve
ISBN: 0446402060
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 259
Book Description
The adviser to Senator Hillary Clinton, Bill Gates, and President Bill Clinton proves that small is big by identifying 75 hidden-in-plain-sight trends that are moving America, revealing that the nation is no longer a melting pot but a collection of communities with many individual tastes and lifestyles. "The ideas in his book will help you see the world in a new way." —Bill Clinton "Mark Penn has a keen mind and a fascinating sense of what makes America tick, and you see it on every page of Microtrends." —Bill Gates In 1982, readers discovered Megatrends. In 2000, The Tipping Point entered the lexicon. Now, in Microtrends, one of the most respected and sought-after analysts in the world articulates a new way of understanding how we live. Mark Penn, the man who identified "Soccer Moms" as a crucial constituency in President Clinton's 1996 reelection campaign, is known for his ability to detect relatively small patterns of behavior in our culture-microtrends that are wielding great influence on business, politics, and our personal lives. Only one percent of the public, or three million people, is enough to launch a business or social movement. Relying on some of the best data available, Penn identifies more than 70 microtrends in religion, leisure, politics, and family life that are changing the way we live. Among them: People are retiring but continuing to work. Teens are turning to knitting. Geeks are becoming the most sociable people around. Women are driving technology. Dads are older than ever and spending more time with their kids than in the past. You have to look at and interpret data to know what's going on, and that conventional wisdom is almost always wrong and outdated. The nation is no longer a melting pot. We are a collection of communities with many individual tastes and lifestyles. Those who recognize these emerging groups will prosper. Penn shows readers how to identify the microtrends that can transform a business enterprise, tip an election, spark a movement, or change your life. In today's world, small groups can have the biggest impact.
