Built from Scratch

How a Couple of Regular Guys Grew The Home Depot from Nothing to $30 Billion

By: Bernie Marcus,Arthur Blank,Bob Andelman

One of the greatest entrepreneurial success stories of the past twenty years When a friend told Bernie Marcus and Arthur Blank that “you’ve just been hit in the ass by a golden horseshoe,” they thought he was crazy. After all, both had just been fired. What the friend, Ken Langone, meant was that they now had the opportunity to create the kind of wide-open warehouse store that would help spark a consumer revolution through low prices, excellent customer service, and wide availability of products. Built from Scratch is the story of how two incredibly determined and creative people—and their associates—built a business from nothing to 761 stores and $30 billion in sales in a mere twenty years. Built from Scratch tells many colorful stories associated with The Home Depot’s founding and meteoric rise; shows that a company can be a tough, growth-oriented competitor and still maintain a high sense of responsibility to the community; and provides great lessons useful to people in any business, from start-ups to the Fortune 500.

Flood of Images

Media, Memory, and Hurricane Katrina

By: Bernie Cook

Anyone who was not in New Orleans during Hurricane Katrina and the subsequent flooding of the city experienced the disaster as a media event, a flood of images pouring across television and computer screens. The twenty-four-hour news cycle created a surplus of representation that overwhelmed viewers and complicated understandings of the storm, the flood, and the aftermath. As time passed, documentary and fictional filmmakers took up the challenge of explaining what had happened in New Orleans, reaching beyond news reports to portray the lived experiences of survivors of Katrina. But while these narratives presented alternative understandings and more opportunities for empathy than TV news, Katrina remained a mediated experience. In Flood of Images, Bernie Cook offers the most in-depth, wide-ranging, and carefully argued analysis of the mediation and meanings of Katrina. He engages in innovative, close, and comparative visual readings of news coverage on CNN, Fox News, and NBC; documentaries including Spike Lee's When the Levees Broke and If God Is Willing and Da Creek Don't Rise, Tia Lessin and Carl Deal's Trouble the Water, and Dawn Logsdon and Lolis Elie's Faubourg Treme; and the HBO drama Treme. Cook examines the production practices that shaped Katrina-as-media-event, exploring how those choices structured the possible memories and meanings of Katrina and how the media's memory-making has been contested. In Flood of Images, Cook intervenes in the ongoing process of remembering and understanding Katrina.

The Great Animal Orchestra (Enhanced)

Finding the Origins of Music in the World's Wild Places

By: Bernie Krause

Musician and naturalist Bernie Krause is one of the world's leading experts in natural sound, and he's spent his life discovering and recording nature's rich chorus. Searching far beyond our modern world's honking horns and buzzing machinery, he has sought out the truly wild places that remain, where natural soundscapes exist virtually unchanged from when the earliest humans first inhabited the earth. Krause shares fascinating insight into how deeply animals rely on their aural habitat to survive and the damaging effects of extraneous noise on the delicate balance between predator and prey. But natural soundscapes aren't vital only to the animal kingdom; Krause explores how the myriad voices and rhythms of the natural world formed a basis from which our own musical expression emerged. From snapping shrimp, popping viruses, and the songs of humpback whales-whose voices, if unimpeded, could circle the earth in hours-to cracking glaciers, bubbling streams, and the roar of intense storms; from melody-singing birds to the organlike drone of wind blowing over reeds, the sounds Krause has experienced and describes are like no others. And from recording jaguars at night in the Amazon rain forest to encountering mountain gorillas in Africa's Virunga Mountains, Krause offers an intense and intensely personal narrative of the planet's deep and connected natural sounds and rhythm. The Great Animal Orchestra is the story of one man's pursuit of natural music in its purest form, and an impassioned case for the conservation of one of our most overlooked natural resources-the music of the wild.

The Great Animal Orchestra

Finding the Origins of Music in the World's Wild Places

A "passionate amalgam of science and autobiography" that will leave you hearing -- and seeing -- nature as never before (New York Times Book Review). Musician and naturalist Bernie Krause is one of the world's leading experts in natural sound, and he's spent his life discovering and recording nature's rich chorus. Searching far beyond our modern world's honking horns and buzzing machinery, he has sought out the truly wild places that remain, where natural soundscapes exist virtually unchanged from when the earliest humans first inhabited the earth.

Sundays with Sullivan

How the Ed Sullivan Show Brought Elvis, the Beatles, and Culture to America

By: Bernie Ilson

Ed Sullivan, who could not sing, dance, or act, was TV's greatest showman in its early years. For 23 years, from 1948 to 1971, he hosted America's premiere variety show every Sunday night on CBS, on which he introduced an eclectic array of talent that included everything from opera singers to dancing bears to Elvis Presley and the Beatles. This book is an inside view of The Ed Sullivan Show and the unusual story of one of the most unlikely television stars who played host to such diverse talents as Van Cliburn, Rudolf Nureyev, Robert Goulet, Richard Pryor, and The Rolling Stones. With his distinctive nasal voice, Sullivan regularly promised audiences a really big shew and delivered by offering up virtually every form of twentieth-century entertainment. Bernie Ilson, the Sullivan show's P.R. man for eight years, takes us on a trip down memory lane to revisit one of the most popular shows in television history.

Introduction to Critical Reflection and Action for Teacher Researchers

By: Bernie Sullivan,Máirín Glenn,Mary Roche,Caitriona McDonagh

Introduction to Critical Reflection and Action for Teacher Researchers provides crucial direction for educators looking to improve their teaching and maximise learning. While many students can grasp the basic elements of researching their practice and can write about practitioner research, some need guidance and assistance to reflect meaningfully on their teaching practice so as to articulate their educational values. This book provides this guidance. By exploring how to engage in an authentic, practical and personalised framework, the book encourages critical reflection and action on educational practice. Moving through the process of reflecting on practice, engaging in critical thinking and planning and taking action, it helps the reader to subsequently generate educational theory from their own personal learning. Examples from the authors’ experiences illustrate the issues raised in each section, with ‘Pause and Reflect’ activities, guidelines for conducting a research project and annotated further reading available for every chapter. Introduction to Critical Reflection and Action for Teacher Researchers is based on the idea that reflection is in itself a deliberate action and something we must live - it is key to understanding our practice and is a core component of action research. This book is a valuable guide for teachers, trainee teachers and researchers interested in reflecting on and enhancing their teaching practice.

The Death of Black Radio

By: Bernie Hayes

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

The Death of Black Radio

The Story of America's Black Radio Personalities

By: Bernie Hayes

With over fifty years of experience in journalism and radio, author Bernie J. Hayes delivers a detailed personal account of the history of the Black radio industry. Since the 1940s, African-American radio personalities have developed, engineered, and urbanized "soul radio". Their influence has helped to shape the history of radio and the recording industry. But even though Black radio personalities at one time provided cultural continuity for the race, record companies and the current hip-hop movement that dominate the business today have encouraged songs with sometimes suggestive and obscene lyrics that cause division. This cultural shift has impacted the African-American's attempts to gain fairness in the media, a fight that began in the Jim Crow South and lasted through the years of the Black Migration to today. Although there has been a great diversity in the history of radio, the economic motives of some station owners demonstrate how many current practices betray the promises of the Emancipation Proclamation. With compelling insight into American culture, The Death of Black Radio shares the remarkable journey of the African-American radio experience in America.

Love, Animals, and Miracles

Inspiring True Stories Celebrating the Healing Bond

By: Dr. Bernie S. Siegel

Dr. Bernie Siegel has long observed how relationships with animals have helped his patients, alleviating their suffering and heartbreak. Now, he’s gathered many inspiring true stories, including delightful tales from the “Siegel Family Zoo” where “squawks, purrs, chirrups, squeaks, barks, and so on” fill the house. Other stories reveal animals as teachers and messengers, doctors and nurses, healers and miracle workers, and often as guileless clowns. Bernie writes that animals are here to show us how to be nonjudgmental and live better, healthier lives. Let these stories teach you, and apply their lessons to your daily life. If you have an animal, an appreciation for the inspirational, or simply the need for a smile, you’ll treasure this celebration of animals as a source of love, wisdom, and miracles. A portion of the publisher’s proceeds from this book will aid Ark Angel Society.

Parallel Lives

A Tale of Two Centuries

By: Bernie Siler

Why a Book on Parallel Lives: A Tale of Two Centuries But for the accident of birth, any one of us could have been born in another time and place. Given the time that man has inhabited the earth and the vastness of the planet, the possibilities are endless. The Civil War is a topic whose fans worldwide are countless. Consequently, a book that takes an up close look at the years preceding, during, and after this great conflict is a subject of great interest to many. More than a few historians have touched upon how in many instances history repeats itself. However, it does not appear that anyone has done a study of the similarities between events of two different centuries especially, not with a description in first person of the events as they occurred. It is only in this format that one can truly appreciate the degree to which history repeats itself. It not only repeats itself in the form of well-known events like the assassinations of Presidents Lincoln and Kennedy but also lesser-known events that true history buffs would know of and appreciate, such as the existence of a child’s game involving a hoop in the 1850s, not unlike the hula hoop of the 1950s. Certainly, any hundred-year interval throughout history would yield similar correlations. However, to the modern-day Americans who are potential purchasers of this book, what better hundred-year interval would there be to do a comparison study of than mid-nineteenth–century and mid-twentieth–century America? For this reason, publishing a Book on this subject is the source of great zeal.

No Time for Tears

Coping with Grief in a Busy World

By: Judy Heath,Bernie Siegel

Facing the loss of a loved one in a death-avoidant culture can be excruciating. Grievers may be expected to put on a brave face, to "move on" quickly, and to seek medication if they are still grief-stricken after an "acceptable" amount of time. Psychotherapist Judy Heath draws on extensive experience as a grief specialist in private practice to help those struggling with the anguish of loss. Addressing the myths and misinformation about mourning that still abound today, Heath gently coaches readers to understand that coping with loss is a natural process that our society tends to avoid and hurry people through, often leading to unresolved, lasting grief. No Time for Tears offers practical advice for both short- and long-term recovery, including how to manage rarely discussed physical and emotional changes: feelings of "going crazy" and inability to focus; feeling out of sync with the world, exhausted and chilled, and crushingly lonely. This updated second edition includes new information about medication and discusses various types of loss including that of a parent, child, spouse, friend, or pet. Helpful not only to grievers but also to those who care about, counsel, or employ them, No Time for Tears is an essential resource for grief management and recovery.

Famous All Over Town

A Novel

By: Bernie Schein

This sweeping comic novel examines the public and private upheavals of life in a small Southern town from the Civil Rights era to the new millennium. Famous All Over Town, the first novel from Southern storyteller Bernie Schein, is a comically candid multi-generational account of two Jews, a lowcountry native and a Northern transplant. Their lives interweave through the momentous events of a sleepy coastal hamlet based on Schein’s native Beaufort, South Carolina. Schein’s cast includes Southern Jewish lawyer Murray Gold and his foil, displaced New York psychiatrist Bert Levy. There’s also an emotionally scarred drill sergeant and his alluringly unconventional wife; a corrupt sheriff and his violent son; an African American madam and her two brilliant children; a fallen Southern belle; a transvestite Vietnam veteran; and many others. With their conflicted identities, burgeoning ambitions, and romantic entanglements, they live through the turbulent 1960s into the 1990s, confronting the ramifications of the civil rights era, Vietnam, Watergate, and—closer to home—a deadly version of the infamous Ribbon Creek incident. Foreword by Janis Owens.

Intractable

By: Bernie Matthews

Intractable is a relentless and remarkable story of life on the inside of two of Australia's most brutal prison regimes - Grafton and Katingal - in the 70s. In 1969 Bernie Matthews was convicted of armed robbery and sentenced to 10 years. A serial escapee, prison authorities soon classified Matthews as an intractable prisoner and he was transferred to the Alcatraz of the NSW prison system at Grafton. There, life was a routine series of bashings and solitary confinement, and as the systematic brutality of Grafton became a political scandal, Matthews and other prisoners found themselves transferred to a fresh hell in 1975 - Katingal Special Security Unit inside Sydney's Long Bay Jail, Australia's first super-max prison. A concrete bunker with no natural light or fresh air, Katingal replaced Grafton's bashings with sensory deprivation and psychological control. Suicide attempts and self-harm followed. One of the longest serving and surviving Katingal inmates, Matthews did not see daylight for two years, eight months. Intractable is not only a shocking story of what it's like to do time but also a history of one of the great political scandals of the 70s from a unique perspective (Katingal was pulled down this year). It's also the eye-opening story of a man who managed to turn his life around in the worst of Australia's prisons to become a writer and prison activist.

Bernie Fineman - Original Motor Mouth

East-End Hardman to TV Star: Fifty Years in the Motor Trade

By: Bernie Fineman

After being expelled from one school too many, Bernie Fineman got a job in a garage when he was thirteen years old. On his first day he hit the foreman across the face with a broom handle. Fifty years later he's still working in garages and still has a fiery temper, as anyone who has tried to cheat a customer or seen one of his many series for Discovery UK and Channel 5 will testify. Not for nothing is Bernie called the Original Motor Mouth.Growing up in the post-war East End with a welder for a mother and a bear-knuckle fighter for a father, life was tough in every sense. But as well as toughness, Bernie also inherited a determination and willingness to graft from his parents, and despite leaving school with no qualifications Bernie has risen to become one of the most respected and famous mechanics in the UK. This is the remarkable story of fifty years in the motor trade that has seen Bernie go from Kray Twins fixer to becoming indispensable to the Metropolitan Police, via South Africa, Bangladesh, the jungles of Central America and more. Dodgy motors and dodgy characters abound in this rollicking and unlikely ride.

They Call It a Game

Shoulders the NFL Stands on

By: Bernie Parrish

This is the book the NFL thought they had buried! Bernie Parrish’s account of the 1964 World Championship — the last time the Cleveland Browns won it all – is an unauthorized history of the NFL by a most unconventional player. The most controversial sports book ever written, this bestselling book was the first to expose the NFL owners symbiotic relationships and connections with Organized Crime and illegal gambling. The only thing that’s changed since its original publication are the dollar figures involved …now they’re exponentially bigger! “Eight years of playing and nine years of activity in the players union have convinced (Parrish) that the hierarchy of the NFL is a basket of snakes. As St. Patrick swept Ireland clean of wriggly reptiles by flinging his bell at them, so Parrish hopes to change the leadership of the league by brazen clangor of a no-holds-barred book, They Call It A Game.” -Life Magazine A national bestseller and a Literary Guild Book of the Month Club selection

By: Senator Bernie Sanders

Bernie Sanders’s political autobiography, with an updated afterword that brings his story up to the 2020 presidential campaign Explaining where he comes from and how his politics were formed, Senator Bernie Sanders describes in detail how, after cutting his teeth in the Civil Rights movement, he helped build an extraordinary grassroots political campaign in Vermont, making it possible for him to become the first independent elected to the US House of Representatives in forty years.

An extensive afterword by the Nation’s National Affairs correspondent, John Nichols, continues the story with Sanders’s entrance into the Senate, the drama of the 2016 Democratic Primary, his ongoing resistance to Trump, and the thrilling launch of his 2020 bid for the White House.
