The Inevitable Rise of the Shero NationWomen come in all sizes, shapes, colors We have different upbringings, religious beliefs, political affiliations, and life experiences. The one thing that we all have in common is that we are all women and we all face similar challenges as we strive to make our voices heard and break down barriers of gender inequality. This book, The Inevitable Rise of the Shero Nation uncovers some of the most notorious of silent adversaries that we relentlessly battle. As of today, we shadow box with these enemies as most are unaware of their existence and the weapons that they use against us. What is a shero?

A woman who will fight to the end for what she believes in and who she is accountable to. Sheroes of the past, present and future shine a bright light on our journey through this evolution. The wonderful women that have bonded together supported each other and were there for each other to reflect no less than God himself reaching down his hand and putting it into the mix of this evolution. Let us not tear each other down. Though we may not understand each other or even agree with each other, as fellow sheroes united, we will tear down gender barriers together The Inevitable Rise of the Shero Nation uncovers some of the most notorious, silent adversaries that we have relentlessly battled over the ages. It also charts a historic timeline of key events and phenomenal women who masterminded them.

Paperback. Condition: Good. In this hauntingly unconventional novel, young Lissa Power challenges the imagination and captures the heart as she struggles to grow up under the guidance of her father, Stouten--a watchmaker, inventor, and mechanical wizard--who is easily old enough to be her grandfather. When Lissa is twelve, her mother dies from breast cancer, and the reclusive old watchmaker, now 84 years old, must oversee his daughter's coming of age. Faced with the loneliness of celibacy, the vulnerability of old age, and the responsibility of supporting two young children, Stouten remains determined to protect his beloved daughter from all harm. As Lissa matures, Stouten's authority becomes increasingly restrictive. Immersed in Stouten's old-fashioned and eccentric worldview, Lissa becomes her father's close companion, the mother of the house, and eventually her aging father's caregiver. Enmeshed in a powerful bond, father and daughter fall back on obsessive-compulsive behavior to cope with sexual trauma, sickness, poverty, old age, and death. Against a backdrop of tumultuous events in the 1950s, '60s, and '70s--the Cold War, political assassinations, the Vietnam War, peace protests, the Civil Rights movement, the moon landing, and the women's liberation movement--Stouten uses storytelling to transport Lissa back with him to the time of his childhood--a much quieter time, but not an idyllic one, when horses and oxen plowed the fields and folks moved more slowly, with the rhythm of nature. Here At the Far End of Nowhere, father and daughter weave fact with fiction and merge reality with fantasy to reveal a broader truth.…

Paperback. Condition: Good. It may be hard to believe, but all of us were children once. And as children, we all experienced the sense of elation and accomplishment from inventing our own games - making use of random props and terrain to choreograph a customized pastime that was a blast to play. There was virtually no limit to what we could play and where. So what if we could re-ignite our childhood creativity, and de-construct our realm of acquired assumptions in the process? It would not only be disarmingly fun, but deeply meaningful in guiding our strategic thinking. Continuous innovation is both necessary and exhilarating, and we all possess the inner capacity for it. Our capacity has simply been buried and lays dormant within us. As children, our imagination knew no boundaries. We would grab a slingshot and be instantly transformed into a warrior, a spy, a huntress, or protector of treasure. But as we grew older, our imagination was gradually reigned in, and our thinking eventually settled within the accepted boundaries of conventionality. It seems that our intellectual comfort zone has shifted from that of continuous exploration and inquisitiveness to that of conformity with accepted norms of adult perception. All is not lost, however. We just need the right framework to re-engage our childhood creativity: the Slingshot Framework. Re-enforcing the book's message, wonderful children illustrations accompany the text from beginning to end, while original music, toy slingshots and interactive forums (accessible via the book's website) provide readers with a truly multi-sensory experience. …
