If You Want Something Done - Nikki R. Haley - Bog - St Martin's Press - Plusbog.dk

If You Want Something Done - Nikki R. Haley - Bog - St Martin's Press - Plusbog.dk

Instant New York Times and USA Today bestseller! Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley''s intimate and inspirational book celebrates the world''s most iconic women leaders. “If you want something said, ask a man. If you want something done, ask a woman.” —Margaret Thatcher In the spirit of Thatcher’s quote, Ambassador Nikki R. Haley offers inspiring examples of women who worked against obstacles and opposition to get things done—including Haley herself. As a brown girl growing up in Bamberg, South Carolina, no one would have predicted she would become the first minority female governor in America, the first female and the first minority governor in South Carolina, or the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations. Her journey wasn’t an easy one. She faced many people who thought she didn’t belong—and who told her so. She was too brown. Too female. Too young. Too conservative. Too principled. Too idealistic. As far as Nikki was concerned, those were not reasons to hold her back. Those were all reasons to forge ahead. She drew inspiration from other trailblazing women throughout history who summoned the courage to be different and lead. This personal and compelling book celebrates ten remarkable women who dared to be bold, from household names like Margaret Thatcher and Israel’s former prime minister Golda Meir, to Jeane Kirkpatrick, the first female U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, to lesser-known leaders like human rights activist Cindy Warmbier, education advocate Virginia Walden Ford, civil rights pioneer Claudette Colvin, and more. Woven with stories from Haley’s own childhood and political career, If You Want Something Done will inspire the next generation of leaders.

Ultimately, she discovers how to write through the emptiness in order to fill up the world with compassion, healing, and renewed liveliness.For anyone struggling to reconnect with their own creative source, Writing on Empty is a gentle and instructive guidebook back to remembering what truly matters.

To Reign in Hell - Steven Brust - Bog - St Martin's Press - Plusbog.dk

To Reign in Hell - Steven Brust - Bog - St Martin's Press - Plusbog.dk

The time is the Beginning. The place is Heaven. The story is the Revolt of the Angels—a war of magic, corruption and intrigue that could destroy the universe. Tor Essentials presents new editions of science fiction and fantasy titles of proven merit and lasting value, each volume introduced by an appropriate literary figure. Originally published in 1984, Steven Brust''s To Reign in Hell is a retelling of Satan''s revolt against Heaven with much more sympathy for Lucifer and his allies. Heaven is threatened by the reemergence of a cataclysmic event, a wave of energy that can destroy life and result in the loss of many angels. In preparation for this Fourth Wave, the angel Yaweh consults the angel Satan. A plan to build Earth, a new and larger Heaven that would be equipped to withstand the disaster, is constructed. Satan questions the plan because doing so will sacrifice the lives of other angels, much like the Fourth Wave itself threatens to do. Charged with convincing their fellow angels to lay down their lives, Satan has reservations about their right to ask for such a sacrifice. This doubt, and the questioning of ethics, opens the door for a devious figure to manipulate Satan, developing a heavenly war.This re-examination of Paradise Lost that calls morality and villainy into question through the lens of epic fantasy is a prescient early classic with an enduring legacy and a formative text of the genre. With an introduction by the late, great Roger Zelazny, author of Lord of Light and Nine Princes in Amber .

Slouch - Christina Wyman - Bog - St Martin's Press - Plusbog.dk

A USA TODAY BESTSELLER “The next great middle grade author.” —Colby Sharp, literacy advocate A "Best Book of the Month" from Barnes & Noble and Amazon.com From the author of Jawbreaker, this USA Today bestseller is a funny and fresh middle-grade novel about a tall girl navigating friends, family, self-esteem, and boundaries. Stevie Crumb doesn’t want to stand out. But when you’re nearly five foot ten in seventh grade, it’s kind of hard not to. All anyone wants to talk about is Stevie’s height—including Stevie’s parents, who would just love for her to be an athlete like her basketball-star older brother. Sure, Stevie wants to be good at something—maybe even great at something. She’d just prefer it didn’t draw more attention to her lanky frame.A chance encounter leads Stevie to the school’s debate team instead, where she meets cute fellow debater Cedric. He’s shorter than she is, and Stevie doesn’t think anything of it—until her best friend points it out. Then strange guys on the subway start making comments about Stevie’s body, too—which is not only annoying, but scary and unsafe. It’s time for Stevie to ask for help, set some boundaries, and realize that standing up (and standing out) isn’t such a bad thing after all.From the breakout author of Jawbreaker , Slouch is a new must-read story about growing up and growing into yourself, inch by inch. It’s ideal for readers ages 8-12 who love Raina Telgemeier, Terri Libenson, Kelly Yang, Gordon Korman, and other endlessly funny and deeply heartfelt books that tackle big topics and universal coming-of-age experiences alike. If you enjoyed Slouch , then you''ll also love Christina Wyman’s bestselling debut, Jawbreaker, and her forthcoming book Breakout . Order your own copy today!
