Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "An important and riveting story of a 19th-century feminist and change agent. Starita successfully balances the many facts with vivid narrative passages that put the reader inside the very thoughts and emotions of La Flesche." —Chicago Tribune On March 14, 1889, Susan La Flesche Picotte received her medical degree—becoming the first Native American doctor in U.S. history. She earned her degree thirty-one years before women could vote and thirty-five years before Indians could become citizens in their own country. By age twenty-six, this fragile but indomitable Native woman became the doctor to her tribe. Overnight, she acquired 1,244 patients scattered across 1,350 square miles of rolling countryside with few roads. Her patients often were desperately poor and desperately sick—tuberculosis, small pox, measles, influenza—families scattered miles apart, whose last hope was a young woman who spoke their language and knew their customs. This is the story of an Indian woman who effectively became the chief of an entrenched patriarchal tribe, the story of a woman who crashed through thick walls of ethnic, racial and gender prejudice, then spent the rest of her life using a unique bicultural identity to improve the lot of her people—physically, emotionally, politically, and spiritually. Joe Starita's A Warrior of the People is the moving biography of Susan La Flesche Picotte’s inspirational life and dedication to public health, and it will finally shine a light on her numerous accomplishments.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is hard to believe that there was a time, not long ago, when there was no right to obtain government information, no protection against hazards in children's toys and other consumer products, no federal safety standards for motor vehicles, and no insurance to protect an investors' money and securities in brokerage accounts. These and other consumer rights were created only after fierce political battles in the decade between 1966 and 1976. People's Warrior is the untold story of that era and one of its towering leaders, Congressman John Moss. Based on previously undisclosed materials and interviews with key players of the time People's Warrior tells the story of a stormy decade in America, one in which key laws, such as the Freedom of Information Act and the Consumer Product Safety Act were enacted by Congress, despite overwhelming political opposition. It is also the improbable story of one man's life and determination. Moss fought for twelve years, against three presidents and at times his own party, for a freedom of information law that has stood the test of time and been copied around the world. Although at first stymied by special interests, he won sweeping consumer protection reforms. He went on to challenge Wall Street in an intense battle to enact major new investor protection laws. What happened to Moss and his progressive agenda in later decades, and what the future may bring for that agenda, make up the final part of this compelling story of a man and an era.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Are you a leader who has been called abrasive, aggressive, or even a bully? This book is written for—rather than about—you. You have probably noticed that many, if not most authors and speakers who deal with this subject refer to leaders like you with demeaning names, because they think you need to be more respectful. Jordan Goldrich challenges this irony—or perhaps hypocrisy—by recognizing that, in reality, you possess a warrior spirit that is crucial to the success of organizations in our current VUCA environment (volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity). Goldrich acknowledges that (just like himself) these leaders are imperfect human beings whose leadership or communication styles can sometimes create a negative impact. But he also acknowledges an important truth—that they bring unique value to the workplace and to society. His challenge to you, in this book, is to become a better leader by measuring yourself against the greatest warriors on the planet: the Navy SEALs, the Green Berets, and the rest of the special operations community—because you have something in common with them. Like you, these heroes have an uncommon desire to succeed, are committed to taking charge, and are focused on accomplishing the mission. In addition, they commit to humbly serve and to place the welfare and security of others before their own. Goldrich shows you how to do the same. Some of the author’s advice revolves around the clever use of the phrase, “The Least You Can Do.” If you are interested in doing the least you can do to be both authentic and protect yourself in a politically correct, over-protective world, you will find what you need in Workplace Warrior. If, on the other hand, you want to do the least you can do in the sense that it is the right thing to do, you will find resources to authentically take your leadership to a higher level. Human resources executives, executive coaches, and people who work with and for leaders labeled as abrasive or bullies will find a unique perspective on these leaders’ motivations and mindsets—and will then be able to do their part in building collaborative relationships with their colleagues.

Book excerpt: He loved her from the first moment he saw her, and he knew that it would be his destiny to take care of her always. She was intrigued by him at first sight and wondered what place he would have in her life. Neither of them could know, however, what their lives would hold as the Arapaho warrior and the beautiful fair-skinned pioneer discovered each other amid the cruel realities of the westward expansion. Their nations were at war, their people were mortal enemies, and yet, they fell in love. He became her strength. She became his hope. Together they found a life of love despite their enemies, a place of peace despite the world around them, a united faith in God despite the differences of their heritage, and a hope for the future despite the ignorances of their day. He found in her the love of a woman. She found in him the love of a Warrior's Heart.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is an arduous path that warriors walk, no matter where they live in the world. True warriors seek to learn what serves them and what does not, what is selfish and what is selfless, and how to decide in favor of light over dark. Like everyone else, the warrior owns the consequences, good or bad. In a how-to manual, modern-day warrior Rich Hungerford offers guidance and support to a new era of warriors desiring to positively impact the world while navigating the challenges of life. Intertwined with his often deeply-personal insights gathered from his own life journey is philosophical guidance on how to successfully walk the warriors’ path. Within the three stages of the journey, Hungerford candidly describes both the difficulties and rewards that accompany a warrior’s commitment to personal growth, provides an awareness of the importance of developing the mind, body, and spirit along the way, and encourages the acceptance of and surrender to a personal destiny with grace. The Warrior and the Wolf shares wisdom, insights, and advice for warriors seeking guidance on how to walk a spiritual path to develop the higher self, live true, and truly live.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Anand is a middle-class boy who experiences a strange phenomenon. Whenever he sleeps at night, he goes back 1500 years in time and wakes up in the ‘past’ as Narasimha, the son of Vimshati Veera Deva—the last warrior of the Vimshati clan. Whenever he sleeps in the ‘past’ as Narasimha, he wakes up in the ‘present’ as Anand. In the ‘past’, as he struggles to become the finest warrior in history, he learns that he was dissolved in the ruins of history whereas his father’s legacy is still preserved in the ‘present’. Through the pointlessness of his training and a complicated romantic life, he learns about a war which would wipe out the entire kingdom in the ‘past’. His desperation to stay alive makes him take certain decisions which would affect his life in ways beyond imagination.
