Описание: Winner of the Lincoln Prize

Acclaimed historian Doris Kearns Goodwin illuminates Abraham Lincoln's political genius in this highly original work, as the one-term congressman and prairie lawyer rises from obscurity to prevail over three gifted rivals of national reputation to become president.

On May 18, 1860, William H. Seward, Salmon P. Chase, Edward Bates, and Abraham Lincoln waited in their hometowns for the results from the Republican National Convention in Chicago.

When Lincoln emerged as the victor, his rivals were dismayed and angry.

Throughout the turbulent 1850s, each had energetically sought the presidency as the conflict over slavery was leading inexorably to secession and civil war. That Lincoln succeeded, Goodwin demonstrates, was the result of a character that had been forged by experiences that raised him above his more privileged and accomplished rivals. He won because he possessed an extraordinary ability to put himself in the place of other men, to experience what they were feeling, to understand their motives and desires.

It was this capacity that enabled Lincoln as president to bring his disgruntled opponents together, create the most unusual cabinet in history, and marshal their talents to the task of preserving the Union and winning the war.

We view the long, horrifying struggle from the vantage of the White House as Lincoln copes with incompetent generals, hostile congressmen, and his raucous cabinet.

He overcomes these obstacles by winning the respect of his former competitors, and in the case of Seward, finds a loyal and crucial friend to see him through.

This brilliant multiple biography is centered on Lincoln's mastery of men and how it shaped the most significant presidency in the nation's history.

Описание: In this culmination of five decades of acclaimed studies in presidential history, Pulitzer Prize-winning author Doris Kearns Goodwin offers an illuminating exploration into the early development, growth, and exercise of leadership.

Are leaders born or made? Where does ambition come from? How does adversity affect the growth of leadership? Does the man make the times or do the times make the man?

In Leadership, Goodwin draws upon four of the presidents she has studied most closely--Abraham Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt, Franklin D. Roosevelt, and Lyndon B. Johnson (in civil rights)--to show how they first recognized leadership qualities within themselves, and were recognized by others as leaders.

No common pattern describes the trajectory of leadership. Although set apart in background, abilities, and temperament, these men shared a fierce ambition and a deep-seated resilience that enabled them to surmount uncommon hardships. At their best, all four were guided by a sense of moral purpose. At moments of great challenge, they were able to summon their talents to enlarge the opportunities and lives of others.

This seminal work provides an accessible and essential road map for aspiring and established leaders in every field. In today's polarized world, these stories of authentic leadership in times of apprehension and fracture take on a singular urgency.

PRESENT DAY DUBLIN

Lucy Young travels to Dublin to search for her ancestor Hugh Gavin who emigrated from Dublin to Boston in 1720. She brings with her a 300- year-old diary written by the Duchess of Alden of Boden Castle, Dublin. When Lucy contacts Professor Patrick Ralley of Trinity College Dublin to donate the Alden diary to the university, she asks for his help to research Hugh Gavin's life and her family's possible connection to the castle. In their search they will uncover a secret that has lain hidden for three hundred years.

DUBLIN, 1719

Abigail Harton's father is a medical doctor who has used the last of his family's savings to fund a charitable hospital in the city. He has saved the lives of the wife and son of the Duke of Alden in childbirth and hopes that the Duke will provide an annuity to support his work.

Meanwhile Abigail and her mother must use their considerable talent at embroidery to provide for the household, and Abigail designs an emerald-silk damask cloth for weaver Hugh Gavin. She also accepts work from Hugh's sister Mary to embroider a dress made from the cloth, which has been commissioned by Miss Elizabeth Goulding to be worn at the upcoming Duke of Alden's Ball at Boden Castle.

But an event occurs at Boden Castle the night of the ball that will lie secret for the next three hundred years, until Lucy and the Professor uncover the secret of the emerald dress.

Описание: The carnivore diet has emerged as an extremely compelling and scientifically validated strategy to drop excess body fat quickly, heal from assorted autoimmune, inflammatory, and leaky gut conditions, and dramatically elevate the nutrient density of your diet. While uncool naysayer dudes will dismiss the carnivore diet out of hand as crazy or even dangerous, these Cool Dudes will give you the straight scoop about the rationale for and benefits of eating sustainably-raised, nose-to-tail animal foods. This can be done with a strict protocol to address chronic ailments, or with a carnivore-ish strategy where certain less-offensive plant foods (e.g., fruit, dark chocolate, guacamole) are included in delicious recipes and snacks. This fun-loving but highly informative book will help you sort through the hype and misinformation about carnivore, and gain insights from some of the world's leading carnivore advocates like Dr. Paul Saladino and Dr. Shawn Baker. For example, with the intestinal microbiome widely regarded as the next frontier of health and medical science, you'll learn why a carnivore eating pattern can spark a dramatic reconstitution of gut bacteria and an improvement in damaged gut lining in only a few days. By restricting otherwise healthy plant foods like fruits, vegetables, nuts, and seeds, those with leaky gut or lectin sensitivity have experienced truly mind-blowing health improvements. What's more, the high satiety and easy compliance with carnivore can help you shed excess body fat quickly, without having to suffer from calorie restriction, extreme workouts and frequent backslides and burnout. The three Cool Dudes--Brad, Brian and William--health experts who walk their talk, enjoy life, perform magnificent athletic feats fueled by meat, and are nice to their wives and strangers alike, give you everything you need to succeed in this award-winning book. You'll learn the right way to implement a nose-to-tail carnivore eating strategy featuring a strategic variety of sustainably raised animal foods like grassfed meat, pastured eggs, wild-caught seafood, and the true superfoods of the planet: liver and other nutrient-dense organ meats. You'll also pick up some cool fitness and lifestyle tips to help support your dietary transition instead of compromise it. Forget the hassle and complexity of typical cookbook offerings and enjoy 97 delicious, quick and easy carnivore-friendly recipes. Isn't it about time for you to become a lean, mean, athletic, smart, happy, tan cool dude? This book will help you get there, and have fun along the way.

Описание:

A brave and evocative meditation on motherlove, which considers how we rebuild ourselves after loss.

Caledonia Kearns' first collection of poems, published at 49, is an attempt to meet Muriel Rukeyser's challenge, "What would happen if one woman told the truth about her life?/The world would split open". Kearns' poems tell the story of an ordinary woman raising a daughter as a second-generation single mother, as she recreates herself after marriage, negotiates lovers lost and found, and navigates the quotidian.

From Kearns' childhood in Dorchester, Massachusetts ("the streets of that other city/were so quiet it was always a lonely dark") to her daughter's childhood during the first wave of gentrification in Brooklyn ("This is Brooklyn now./ The antenna factories across the street are long gone"), it is a deeply urban story.

Told in four parts, Kearns begins--"Coming from where I do/there was no choice but to bet on the filly." She moves on to explore the reconstruction of the self after the end of a marriage and the search for connection. The collection ends with a reckoning--her daughter's depression and hospitalization before she leaves for college: "I don't want to say/sometimes my daughter wants to die/but if I don't there's no saving her/sometimes my daughter wants to die." Along the way her daughter's voice infuses the occasional commentary: "How you think/you fucked me up/is not how/you fucked me up."

Clear-eyed and persistent, the virtue of "A Daughter's Work Is Heartless by Nature" is its straightforward, accessible lyric, its relentless search for beauty in the day-to-day.
