Marin S: Hope in Action / B

Hope in Action

A Memoir About the Courage to Lead

The inventor behind the Leatherman multi-tool and founder of the beloved company presents his inspiring personal story as a practical how-to guide for entrepreneurs, artists, and creatives of all kinds who want to pursue their own big ideas. On a budget trip to Europe in 1975, Tim Leatherman started making a list of ideas for what to do with the rest of his life. After months of fixing the plumbing in cheap hotels and toiling on his temperamental Fiat, Tim added to his list of ideas: “add pliers to pocket knife.” Little did he know he would spend the following four decades building an iconic American company that would go on to manufacture more than 90 million multi-tools in its Portland, Oregon, factory. His latest multi-tool is a book. In The Leatherman Book, Tim uses the pieces of his story as tools to help dreamers, entrepreneurs and creatives of all kinds build their own big ideas. Each chapter shares valuable insight into how Tim built his invention and his company—and the lessons he’s learned doing it—including: • You don’t have to be “qualified” to pursue your big idea • If you’re serious about your principles, they become your competitive advantage • Your most important tool is a willingness to figure things out as you go along Weaving storytelling, advice, and never-before-seen photos, this is a visionary and intimate look at a true American icon, meant to inspire and enable dreamers to bring their ideas to life.

Leadership in the Rough

Leadership is often described as the ability to inspire people toward a shared vision-but what if leadership could be understood as something more dynamic? What if it were a practical framework that intentionally integrates organizational culture, strategic execution, and human potential?The CEO's STAMP of Approval is far more than a leadership book-it is a transformational blueprint for executives and leaders determined to elevate their organizations amid volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity. Drawing from decades of hands-on leadership experience and academic rigor, T. Wiles Fowler delivers a compelling narrative that blends real-world insight, innovative frameworks, and engaging storytelling to empower leaders at every level.This book challenges conventional leadership thinking by offering actionable strategies that redefine how leaders build teams, drive performance, and cultivate high-performing cultures. Framed around the setting of a golf tournament, the story introduces the S-T-A-M-P framework-Support, Teamwork, Aptitude, Morale, and Performance-as a practical sequence for leadership and team development aligned with organizational vision. Through the experiences of HARDAWAY Tools and The Learning Center (TLC), readers see how situational agility, employee alignment, and continuous improvement can overcome inertia and organizational friction, transforming stagnation into momentum.The book's use of memorable acronyms-such as L-E-A-D-S,T-R-A-I-N, and C-H-E-C-K-distills complex leadership and operational theories into clear, actionable steps. Fowler's extensive background, including his Lean Six Sigma expertise, is evident throughout, offering evidence-based strategies for talent development, team dynamics, and performance improvement.Ideal for leaders navigating economic pressure, operational challenges, or organizational change, The CEO's STAMP of Approval provides a clear and practical roadmap to improve morale, streamline processes, and enhance profitability. Its balance of relatable storytelling and academic depth makes it both engaging and credible.

Verso's Southern Questions

In 1960, as the Algerian War for Independence entered its sixth year, 22-year-old Djamila Boupacha was arrested for allegedly planting a bomb in a university cafeteria. While in custody, she was tortured and raped by French soldiers. Her case would have been buried like countless others had it not been for the efforts of her lawyer, Gisèle Halimi, and the philosopher Simone de Beauvoir to transform it into an international cause célèbre. Djamila Boupacha is the culmination of this campaign to expose the systemic violence of colonial rule. "To protest in the name of morality against ‘excesses’ or ‘abuses,’" Beauvoir writes, "is an error which hints at active complicity. There are no ‘abuses’ or ‘excesses’ here, simply an all-pervasive system." More than a historical document, the book is a profound exploration of morality, complicity and resistance. A classic text of anticolonialism, this is a story that demands to be read—and remembered.

Die Mehrzahl der russischen Bürger ist überzeugt, »der Westen« plane einen Angriff auf ihr Land. Sind es nur die massiven Medienkampagnen, die diese kollektive Hysterie entfacht haben? Woher die Angst, die Aggressivität, der Hass gegen Andersdenkende? Irina Prochorowa blickt zurück auf die Gewaltgeschichte der Sowjetepoche: Oktoberrevolution, Entfesselung des Terrors, Gulag, Zweiter Weltkrieg. Kaum eine Familie, die nicht über Generationen von extremem Leid und seinen Folgen betroffen gewesen wäre. Das Verhältnis zu Schmerz und Verlust wurde vom Staat diktiert, in jubelnden Massenfesten ritualisiert. Individuelle Erinnerung verdrängen zu müssen war die Grunderfahrung der Gesellschaft. Warum lebt diese »Unfähigkeit zu trauern« bis heute fort? Ist sie der Grund für das kollektive Trauma verängstigter Bürger?

Das Fortleben der Gewalt

The Bonus Years

In her one-of-a-kind voice, Diane Keaton shares the wisdom she's accumulated through the years as a mother, daughter, actress, artist, and international style icon. From a mortifying encounter with a makeup artist to an awkward excursion to Victoria's Secret with her teenage daughter, Keaton reveals candid moments from her life in and out of the public eye. She recounts her experiences with the many men in her life-including Warren Beatty, Jack Nicholson, and Al Pacino-shows how our ideals of beauty change as we age, and explains why a life well lived may be the most beautiful thing of all. 'Diane Keaton wasn't just an actress: she was a force. A woman who showed us that being yourself is the is the most powerful thing you can be' Octavia Spencer 'She's talented, iconic, quirky . . . And wonderfully blunt. This is just a small sampling of the reasons we love Diane Keaton, and they all permeate the pages of her new memoir' Elle 'A brilliant actress who time and again laid herself bare to tell our stories' Nancy Meyers 'Her influence on culture, fashion, art and women can't be overstated' Elizabeth Banks

Cold War History

This book is an&nbsp;historical investigation into the role of the European Community in the overcoming of the East-West divide during the Cold War.

Challenging the Cold War Order in Europe

The European Community and Eastern Europe in the Long 1970s

To paraphrase Sir Winston Churchill, never has so much pornography been available to so many people for so little. This is the story of how the online adult industry has plummeted from its lofty heights of the late 1990s, when a savvy Web entrepreneur could charge premium prices to thousands of eager subscribers. It is also the story of how the law has completely failed to keep pace with the technological innovations that boosted and then savaged the online adult industry. It concludes by analysing the social impact of virtually unlimited pornography of every description, available to all ages at the click of a button. Useful reading for the general reader and for students and researchers involved with business strategy, the history of technology, cultural studies, sexuality, media studies and technology more generally.

The Purpose-Driven Leader: Navigating Ethical Challenges in a Goal-Obsessed World

In a world where targets rule and success is measured in metrics, what happens when good intentions lead to ethical disasters? Leaders chase promotions, quotas, and wins-only to wake up to scandals, burnt-out teams, and shattered trust. This is teleopathy: the dangerous obsession with goals that blinds us to what's right.

Retired Chief Master Sergeant Mike Lightner knows this trap intimately. With over 30 years in the Air Force leading high-stakes teams on flightlines and beyond, plus decades coaching executives, he's seen policies meant to motivate turn into chaos and incentives designed to inspire lead to corner-cutting. In The Purpose-Driven Leader, Lightner delivers a no-BS guide to spotting teleopathy's symptoms-fixation, rationalization, and detachment-and breaking free with purpose-driven integrity.

Drawing from real military turnarounds, corporate scandals like Enron and Volkswagen, and everyday ethical dilemmas, this book equips you with:
Battle-tested frameworks to balance goals with values and stakeholder needs.
Practical tools like decision checklists, ethics charters, and reflective exercises to make integrity your default.
Inspiring stories of leaders who chose ethics over easy wins-and came out stronger.





Whether you're a mid-level manager, veteran transitioning to business, small-business owner, or anyone tired of goal-obsession eroding your leadership, this book shows how to lead with a moral compass that delivers lasting results.

Don't let ambition destroy what matters. Grab The Purpose-Driven Leader and build a legacy of trust, not regret.
