Chronicles : Volume One (9780743244589)

WINNER OF THE NOBEL PRIZE IN LITERATURE The celebrated first memoir from arguably the most influential singer-songwriter in the country, Bob Dylan."I'd come from a long ways off and had started a long ways down. But now destiny was about to manifest itself. I felt like it was looking right at me and nobody else." So writes Bob Dylan in Chronicles: Volume One, his remarkable book exploring critical junctures in his life and career. Through Dylan's eyes and open mind, we see Greenwich Village, circa 1961, when he first arrives in Manhattan. Dylan's New York is a magical city of possibilities--smoky, nightlong parties; literary awakenings; transient loves and unbreakable friendships. Elegiac observations are punctuated by jabs of memories, penetrating and tough. With the book's side trips to New Orleans, Woodstock, Minnesota, and points west, Chronicles: Volume One is an intimate and intensely personal recollection of extraordinary times. By turns revealing, p...

Muhammad : Prophet of Peace Amid the Clash of Empires (9781568587837)

In the midst of the dramatic seventh-century war between two empires, Muhammad was a spiritual seeker in search of community and sanctuary. Many observers stereotype Islam and its scripture as inherently extreme or violent-a narrative that has overshadowed the truth of its roots. In this masterfully told account, preeminent Middle East expert Juan Cole takes us back to Islam's-and the Prophet Muhammad's-origin story. Cole shows how Muhammad came of age in an era of unparalleled violence. The eastern Roman Empire and the Sasanian Empire of Iran fought savagely throughout the Near East and Asia Minor. Muhammad's profound distress at the carnage of his times led him to envision an alternative movement, one firmly grounded in peace. The religion Muhammad founded, Islam, spread widely during his lifetime, relying on soft power instead of military might, and sought armistices even when militarily attacked. Cole sheds light on this forgotten history, reminding us that in the Qur...

We Can't Talk about That at Work! : How to Talk about Race, Religion, Politics, and Other Polarizing Topics (9781520076324)

Politics, religion, race - we can't talk about topics like these at work, right? But in fact, these conversations are happening all the time, and if they aren't handled effectively, they can become even more polarizing and divisive, impacting productivity, engagement, retention, teamwork, and even an employee's sense of safety in the workplace. But in this concise and powerful book, Mary-Frances Winters, a thought leader in the field of diversity and inclusion, shows you how to lay the groundwork for having bold, inclusive conversations - conversations that address those difficult topics in ways that bring people together instead of driving them apart. Through the exercises and tools Winters offers here, you can prepare for the process of having these conversations effectively and ethically. And although major issues are unlikely to be nicely and neatly settled in just one conversation, if you combine diligence, good intentions, careful introspection, and patience, succes...
