278,95 kr. A timely reassessment of Woodrow Wilson and his role in the long national struggle for racial equality and women’s voting rights.More than a century after he dominated American politics, Woodrow Wilson still fascinates. With panoramic sweep, Woodrow Wilson: The Light Withdrawn reassesses his life and his role in the movements for racial equality and women’s suffrage. The Wilson that emerges is a man superbly unsuited to the moment when he ascended to the presidency in 1912, as the struggle for women’s voting rights in America reached the tipping point. The first southern Democrat to occupy the White House since the Civil War era brought with him to Washington like-minded men who quickly set to work segregating the federal government. Wilson’s own sympathy for Jim Crow and states’ rights animated his years-long hostility to the Susan B. Anthony Amendment, which promised universal suffrage backed by federal enforcement. Women demonstrating for voting rights found themselves demonized in government propaganda, beaten and starved while illegally imprisoned, and even confined to the insane asylum. When, in the twilight of his second term, two-thirds of Congress stood on the threshold of passing the Anthony Amendment, Wilson abruptly switched his position. But in sympathy with like-minded southern Democrats, he acquiesced in a “race rider” that would protect Jim Crow. The heroes responsible for the eventual success of the unadulterated Anthony Amendment are brought to life by Christopher Cox, an author steeped in the ways of Washington and political power. This is a brilliant, carefully researched work that puts you at the center of one of the greatest advances in the history of American democracy.

- Dátl'ìshí Ts'ìká Áa Guunijà / The Narratives of Bessie Meguinis
283,95 - 554,95 kr. The first book published in Tsuut'ina--a critically endangered language--in over a century With fewer than 150 speakers, Tsuut'ina is a critically endangered language. Isúh ÃnÃi / As Grandmother Said brings together nine traditional narratives and historical accounts in the Tsuut'ina language, originally narrated by Elders Dátl'ìshà Ts'ìká Bessie Meguinis (1883-1987) and Ninà ghá Tsìtl'á Willie Little Bear (1912-1989). At once an act of language preservation and a learning resource, each story is retold in Tsuut'ina by Dit'ónà DidlÃshà Dr. Bruce Starlight and is presented with English translations and a Tsuut'ina-to-English glossary. The narratives included in this collection cover considerable ground, ranging from the creation of the world in the caring hands of Xà lÃtsa-tsii and his animal helpers, to accounts of separation, migration, and cross-cultural contact that mark major turning points in Tsuut'ina history, and to important cultural and ceremonial items and practices that the Tsuut'ina Nation maintains to this day. These stories will be of lasting value to Tsuut'ina language learners and teachers, and will share the legacy of Elders Bessie Meguinis and Willie Little Bear with generations of Tsuut'ina to come.

198,95 kr. In the tradition of Charles Duhigg’s The Power of Habit, a wise and fascinating book that shows us how “we can make deadlines work for us instead of the other way around” (The Wall Street Journal).Perfectionists and procrastinators alike agree—it’s natural to dread a deadline. Whether you are completing a masterpiece or just checking off an overwhelming to-do list, the ticking clock signals despair. Christopher Cox knows the panic of the looming deadline all too well—as a magazine editor, he has spent years overseeing writers and journalists who couldn’t meet a deadline to save their lives. After putting in a few too many late nights in the newsroom, he became determined to learn the secret of managing deadlines. He set off to observe nine different organizations as they approached a high-pressure deadline. Along the way, Cox made an even greater discovery: these experts didn’t just meet their big deadlines—they became more focused, productive, and creative in the process. An entertaining blend of “behavioral science, psychological theory, and academic studies with compelling storytelling and descriptive case studies” (Financial Times), The Deadline Effect reveals the time-management strategies these teams used to guarantee success while staying on schedule: a restaurant opening for the first time, a ski resort covering an entire mountain in snow, a farm growing enough lilies in time for Easter, and more. Cox explains how to use deadlines to our advantage, the dynamics of teams and customers, and techniques for using deadlines to make better, more effective decisions.
