This essential biography of one of the most influential women of the past century shows how truly remarkable Jane Goodall's accomplishments have been. Goodall was a secretarial school graduate when Louis Leakey, unable to find someone with more fitting credentials, first sent her to Gombe to study chimpanzees. In this acclaimed work, Dale Peterson details how this young woman of uncommon resourcefulness and pluck would go on to set radically new standards in the study of animal behavior. He vividly captures the triumphs and setbacks of her dramatic life, including the private quest that led to her now-famous activism.

Peterson, a longtime Goodall collaborator, has a unique knowledge of his subject. Candid and illuminating, this work will be a revelation even to readers who are familiar with the public Goodall as presented in her own writing..

Leadership Redefined moves past the hype about leadership and focuses on what matters the most: the core skills required for success in cubicleland. Leadership is not about mythical charismatic people. It is not about complex theories and models. Common sense and piles of research tell us that successful leadership is about nailing the basics. To that end, Leadership Redefined identifies the three underlying rules of leadership from which all other rules and tactics flow. These rules are used to explain key areas of successful daily leadership: understanding personal improvement, a solid grasp on effective communication, knowledge of how to motivate others, an understanding of what it means to manage conflict productively, etc. all of the vital people skills. Leadership Redefined tackles all of these and more with a fast, lively and practical style served up by noted leadership expert, Dr. Todd Dewett. His huge personality and professional work have resulted in quotes in many major media outlets including the New York Times, BusinessWeek, Chicago Tribune, MSNBC, the Christian Science Monitor, and many other outlets. If your goal is to climb the ladder in your organization, you must realize that your long-term success is determined by your people skills, not your technical or functional skills. That is why Leadership Redefined is essential reading for all professionals..

Americans hate and distrust their government At the same time, Americans love and trust their government These contradictory attitudes are resolved by Fletcher's novel interpretation of constitutional history. He argues that we have two constitutions--still living side by side--one that caters to freedom and fear, the other that satisfied our needs for security and social justice.
The first constitution came into force in 1789. It stresses freedom, voluntary association, and republican elitism. The second constitution begins with the Gettysburg Address and emphasizes equality, organic nationhood, and popular democracy. These radical differences between our two constitutions explain our ambivalence and self-contradictory attitudes toward government.
With September 11 the second constitution--which Fletcher calls the Secret Constitution--has become ascendant. When America is under threat, the nation cultivates its solidarity. It overcomes its fear and looks to government for protection and the pursuit of social justice. Lincoln's messages of a strong government and a nation that must "long endure" have never been more relevant to American politics.
"Fletcher's argument has intriguing implications beyond the sweeping subject of this profoundly thought-provoking book."--The Denver Post.

At 12 months old, Benjamin was a normal baby. Betwen 12 to 18 months though--and possibly due to an adverse reaction from a vaccine--Benjamin's language and social skills detoriated rapidly and he began to turn inward. Up to this point, Benjamin's story follows the unfortunately familiar pattern of children who are diagnosed with autism. "Gift from My Son," however, is a story of autism unlike any other.

Avoiding the behavioral therapy approach that is so popular, Lindelien learned to meet Benjamin at his level, as an individual, and was rewarded with insights into the mind of an autistic child that include an altogether new theory about the role of left versus right brain dominance. She also reveals a number of natural medicine therapies that reversed many of Benjamin's worst symptoms..
