Willis H: A Legacy in Peanuts

A Legacy in Peanuts

Tom's Foods and the Transformation of the Twentieth-Century South

From "the greatest generation" comes the true story of a World War II veteran and ordained minister whose public advocacy for social justice was segmented from his private life as a gay man. Steven C. Law's biography of the Rev. Robert W. Wood, The Story of Bob, is the story of a man before his time, who strove to live and love authentically and advocated for the gay community in church and society.The Rev. Robert W. Wood was a trailblazer in the LGBTQ rights movement. Active in the Mattachine Society, he published his book Christ and the Homosexual in 1960 under his own name at great risk. Rev. Wood participated in protests organized by Frank Kameny against the federal government's ban on gay employees. He pushed the United Church of Christ to embrace the cause of LGBTQ liberation. While he faced resistance, this struggle ultimately led to the formation of the UCC's Open and Affirming Coalition. The Story of Bob is based on interviews that the author, Steven C. Law, conducted with Rev. Wood. Law's lucid prose makes for a compelling, page-turning read.

Lim Siong Guan - The Best is Yet to Be provides insights into Siong Guan's past, his thoughts on the present, and his perspectives on the future, particularly on surviving and thriving in a world of "unknown unknowns".

But this is not a book about Siong Guan - it is about what he thinks readers would find useful as they contemplate their futures and strive to be the best that they can be.

Through Siong Guan's reflections, interviews with people who personally know him well, sharings from people who have worked with him, as well as media articles, you get a glimpse into Siong Guan's humble beginnings, his inspirational public service career from 1969 to 2019, and more. You will see how the future of Singapore and the people he works with have been his consistent focus and constant obsession.

This book shares how Siong Guan exceled in school and his career with a curious and searching mind, as well as a heart of empathy and service - never seeking fame or fortune, he chases opportunities not money, and seeks to serve rather than be served.

Working for Mr Lee Kuan Yew and Dr Goh Keng Swee, the powerful core of Singapore's founding leaders, Siong Guan saw first-hand how Singapore's success as a start-up nation came 
through innovation and creativity. And he believes Singapore's continued survivability requires an unswerving vision with even more innovation and creativity.

Mr Lee Kuan Yew brought Singapore from third world to first. Where does Singapore go from here?

Siong Guan digs into his 50 years of public service for pointers on where Singapore should go and how it can get there, so that Singapore can always be the home of opportunity, where "The Best is Yet to Be"!

In a career that has seen him face coup leaders in his native Ivory Coast and lead some of the most prestigious Western financial institutions, Tidjane Thiam has blazed a trail through African and European politics and business.In a career that has seen him face coup leaders in his native Ivory Coast and lead some of the most prestigious Western financial institutions, Tidjane Thiam has blazed a trail through African and European politics and business.After a childhood in tumultuous west and north Africa, Thiam broke barriers in the elitist world of French higher education, becoming one of the first black consultants at McKinsey and Company before entering the Ivorian government. After a coup forced him into exile, he joined the world of finance, where his rise saw him named as CEO of Prudential in London and Credit Suisse in Zurich. Along the way, he was trained and supported by many both in the public and private sector who made his many achievements as a leader possible. However, his rise to prominence as the only African, black and Muslim boss of large Western corporations was also accompanied with disproportionate public and media scrutiny, as well as racism and xenophobia.A blend of autobiography, business, politics, and personal philosophy, his book offers a unique vantage point on corporate and political life in Africa, Europe, the United States and Asia. In a story that spans from his father's politically motivated imprisonment to the business principles that took Thiam to the top of global finance, he shares a personal and professional story that is equal parts inspirational and aspirational.

A Memoir

About Daily Anxieties: A Month in the Life of an Ad Executive Was the phone on the cradle when you started your fusillade of profanity? Why aren't there retirement parties in your industry? Why does your alma mater publicly invest in every academic discipline except yours? These types of questions leap beyond the "Sunday scaries" that fluster people in other lines of work. They are the fodder of endless and indelible ruminations for advertising professionals, and they are the topic of this book. But Daily Anxieties is more than a catalogue of industry quirks -- it's a strangely comforting and witty companion for anyone who has ever survived a pitch week, navigated a client meltdown, or tried (and failed) to leave work at the office. For those already in advertising, these pages offer the warm reassurance that all the odd pressures, sleepless nights, and existential questions aren't personal flaws but shared occupational hazards. There's a certain relief in seeing your private frustrations reflected with honesty, humor, and just enough absurdity to make them feel survivable. For anyone thinking about entering the profession, this memoir doubles as an illuminating caveat. It presents the relentless pace, emotional whiplash, and institutional contradictions that often greet them once they arrive. It's an unvarnished look at what the business really demands, offering newcomers a clearer sense of the psychological terrain before they step onto it. Daily Anxieties is a month-long immersion into the questions, crises, and small victories that define life in advertising -- a mirror for insiders, and a reality check for those wondering whether to join them.

“Nadia is a fierce warrior for justice and a beautiful human being I feel privileged to know. She will inspire women for generations.” —Amal Clooney In a lyrical and profoundly moving memoir, Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Nadia Murad reclaims her extraordinary journey from the embers of devastation to a fight for freedom—and for what comes next when a young girl’s flame cannot be extinguished. In 2014, Nadia Murad was living in northern Iraq when her world was shattered. Fighters from the so-called Islamic State attacked her village, massacring hundreds—including her mother and six of her brothers—and forcing her, along with thousands of Yazidi women and girls, into ISIS’s system of sexual slavery. Her life since then has been split in two. In one she is a global symbol of courage —a survivor and activist who has stood before world leaders to demand justice. In the other, she is a woman learning how to be a friend, a student, a wife; a woman rediscovering ordinary joy. In I Choose My Beginning, Nadia brings these two selves together. With honesty and grace, she transforms the pain of her past into a life defined not by what was done to her, but by strength, perseverance, and the freedom to choose happiness. From reshaping international law to building a life filled with friendship and love, Nadia carries the memory of those she lost and those who survived. Their presence reminds her—and all of us—that she has always been more than a victim. Powerful and deeply inspiring, I Choose My Beginning is the story of an extraordinary woman reclaiming her humanity—and showing that survival is not the end of the story. It is the beginning.

A rich history of the development of American minimum wage policy with lessons for today. Despite broad popular support for robust minimum wage policy, the federal minimum wage is now worth less--in real, inflation-adjusted terms--than at any time since 1949. While some state and local governments have stepped in to fill this void, others have declined to set any minimum wage standard at all. Traversing more than 100 years of history, Raising the Floor examines how interest groups have navigated the highly decentralized American political system to shape the development of federal, state, and local minimum wage laws. In her analysis, Shanna Rose highlights the importance of American federalism. She argues that because federalism creates multiple arenas for policy change, interest groups have sought out the sites most conducive to their goals, shifting their lobbying efforts as new obstacles and opportunities emerge. Federalism has facilitated minimum wage policymaking by fostering policy experimentation, learning, and diffusion across states and by allowing state and local governments to overcome gridlock and status-quo biases at the national level. Yet, federalism has also been an instrument for containment, enabling those opposed to minimum wage increases to litigate and preempt local-level laws. With rich historical chapters that illuminate different phases in the development of today's patchwork of wage standards, Raising the Floor is a deep examination of the past, present, and future of American minimum wage law.

The definitive biography of American suffragist and women’s rights pioneer Elizabeth Cady Stanton, from a preeminent historian of women’s suffrage “The life of Elizabeth Cady Stanton still has much to teach us. The invented prisons of race, sex, and class are still with us, but learning about successful past struggles against them can help to equalize the future.”&nbsp;—Gloria Steinem Elizabeth Cady Stanton was a singular leader, thinker, and organizer whose fight for women’s emancipation stretched from the 1840s to her death in 1902, a full fifth of America’s history. Yet her legacy has been marked by controversy. In this landmark biography, eminent historian Ellen Carol DuBois paints a fresh portrait of this complex crusader whose tireless work made contemporary feminism possible.&nbsp; &nbsp; Born in 1815 into a family deeply marked by the tumult of the American Revolution and surging evangelicalism, Stanton was captivated by Enlightenment ideas about individual freedom and transformed by early experiences in what she called “the school of antislavery.” Though most remembered for her fight for the vote, she was also an early crusader for women’s reproductive autonomy and reforming the institution of marriage, and against Christianity’s subordination of women. Her rifts with Black reformers and embrace of nativist ideas tarnished her reputation, but her words still have the ability to move and agitate people today.&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; Building upon exhaustive archival research and a deep engagement with Stanton’s copious writings, Elizabeth Cady Stanton brilliantly captures a crucial reformer in all of her intelligence, moral ambiguity, and power.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;
