Reaping the Whirlwind
Author: Robert Jefferson Norrell
Publisher: Knopf
ISBN: 0307828514
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 371
Book Description
Bringing us close to the complex history of the civil rights movement in the American South—the currents that involved thousands of communities and millions of individual lives—this book looks deeply into the experiences of a single Alabama town, Tuskegee, and its surrounding Macon County. It is based on interviews with the people—white and black, liberal and traditional—whose lives were caught up in the movement and altered forever. We see Tuskegee in the early 1940s, seat of America’s most venerable institute of high education for blacks, an important symbol of black progress—yet almost entirely controlled by a white power structure—and we see the emergence of a charismatic leader, Charles G. Gomillion, who defied Tuskegee Institutes’ apolitical traditions and inspired blacks to organize for their right to vote. Thus begins decades of struggle, which Robert J. Norrell re-creates for us through the testimony of the people who lived and shaped this history: the dramatic appearance before a U.S. congressional committee of local civil rights leaders and ordinary farmers bearing witness to the seemingly endless obstructions to block voter registration; the months-long boycott of white Tuskegee merchants that was sparked by the city council’s attempt to exclude black voters by gerrymandering; the fiercely controversial move to integrate the public schools that culminated in Governor George Wallace’s order to state troopers to prevent the opening of Tuskegee High; the anguish that accompanied efforts by blacks to penetrate all-white church congregations. Norrell describes how blacks enters—and won—local elections, including those for mayor and sheriff, and how, with the onset of heightened activism in the late 1960s, Gomillion and other established leaders of the civil rights movement heard angry youthful voices raised against their cautious approach. Reaping the Whirlwind carries us through the early 1970s to a community profoundly changed, proud to have shed its false air of harmony, gradually coming to terms with the disorder and dissension of the preceding years. It is a moving and significant chronicle that documents a critical era in the nation’s history.

But when Lu's hunt is interrupted by Ashen, a mysterious and striking Reaper of the Shadow Realm, it seems like fate has finally caught up with her.

Languages : en
Pages : 266
Book Description
If you're like most people, you bet your career and company on innovation--because you must. Payback: Reaping the Rewards of Innovation offers you a new way to think about and manage innovation that will dramatically improve the odds of success. Authors James Andrew and Harold Sirkin, senior partners in The Boston Consulting Group, describe an approach to managing innovation based on the concept of a cash curve--which tracks investment against time. They ask the questions you need to ask: How much should you invest in a new product or service? How fast should you push it to market? How quickly can you get to optimal value? How much additional investment should you pour into sustaining and building the product or service? Payback offers you practical and economically sound advice on when to pursue cash flow indirectly by first pursuing other benefits, such as brand and knowledge. It also shows you how to reshape the cash curve by using different business models--integrator, orchestrator, and licenser--each of which balances risk and reward differently. The authors then present a short list of decisions and activities that you must make--not delegate--to achieve a high return on innovation. You won't find facile answers in Payback--but you will find valuable insights and practical guidance for mastering one of the most challenging and critical business activities: innovation.

SOWING Seeds of Your Wishes & REAPING the Fruits of Your Work
Author: Wusu Takyi (Ph.D)
Publisher: Author House
ISBN: 1491880341
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 89
Book Description
Sowing and Reaping is one of the most invoked principles from the Bible. In as much as it is an essential principle it is either misunderstood or deliberately misinterpreted. Either misunderstood or misinterpreted, it does not assist the sincere truth seeker in his effort to faithfully apply the principle for his benefit to glorify God. To misunderstand it or buy into the misinterpreted forms of it denies a person what would have been his rightful reward if he understood and applied the right Biblical version of the law. Worse still, the distorted version lays the basis for potentially firm separation of that person from God. This happens when a person realises that what he has long been promised to reap if he sows into a ministry or pastor's life does not materialise. Something which from day one of the promise was not going to happen because every seed brings forth the fruit of its kind but not the fruit of other seed which is not of its kind. This book is not primarily concerned about the interpreters who consciously distort the message of "grace" as indicated in Jude 1: 4, but concerned about the faithful who have misunderstood the law and even fallen prey to the interpreters spoken about by Jude. The faithful is here in this book delivered from sowing wrong seeds and born again into sowing the right seeds which brings forth their kind by the immutable power of the just God. The illuminating power of God enshrined in his word is used to shed light on life changing seeds and the fruits they bear.
