“A must for those who need to understand how setbacks can be made into stepping-stones to the top.”—Forbes Lay-offs, cutbacks, company reorganizations, and bankruptcies are bringing millions of people face-to-face with unexpected, often devastating setbacks in their professional lives. If you are among them—or fear you may soon be—help is at hand in this book. Everyone is afraid to fail. But when smart people fail, they convert their loss into renewed success. Drawing on their own experiences and those of hundreds of others, Carole Hyatt and Linda Gottlieb provide the practical, positive, reassuring advice you need for these trying times. It’s not whether we fail, but how we cope with failure that truly matters. With the compassion and confidence of ultimate survivors, Linda Gottlieb and Carole Hyatt have given us the tools to rebound, regain control, and come back better than before. “People will be helped more by reading this book than by anything else I can think of.”—Rabbi Harold S. Kushner, author of When Bad Things Happen to Good People
My autobiography dives deep into the experiences I faced in my life. It highlights my struggles to survive the odds, through balance, perseverance, and independence, on my journey to fulfilling my true calling, as one of the most successful, sought after, and prosperous artists today. By telling my real-life stories, I hope to educate my readers and help them to overcome their difficulties and live a satisfying life. I give practical strategies that will teach them how to form good habits, break bad ones, and master the tiny behaviors that lead to remarkable results. Whether by finding new work, achieving financial success, or contemplating failure, fear has a special place in our emotional life. Feeling anxious, uncertain, and overwhelmed? Our minds are designed to let fear in; without it, we’d never survive. But how do we keep suspicion away from restricting our ability to fulfil our goals? Conquering fear is about self-awareness and understanding our inner strengths, often in the face of overcoming odds. My book can be your guide to practicing and cultivating the personality traits needed to be successful.

The Closing Door is the first major critique of the effect of conservative policies on urban race and poverty in the 1980s. Atlanta, with its booming economy, strong elected black leadership, and many highly educated blacks, seemed to be the perfect site for those policies and market solutions to prove themselves. Unfortunately, not only did expected economic opportunity fail to materialize but many of the hard-won gains of the civil rights movement were lost. Orfield and Ashkinaze painstakingly analyze the evidence from Atlanta to show why black opportunity deteriorated over the 1980s and outline possible remedies for the damage inflicted by the Reagan and Bush administrations. "The Closing Door is a crucial breath of fresh air . . . an important and timely text which will help to alter the 'underclass' debate in favor of reconsidering race-specific policies. Orfield and Ashkinaze construct a convincing argument with which those who favor 'race-neutrality' will have to contend. In readable prose they make a compelling case that economic growth is not enough."—Preston H. Smith II, Transition

John Nance Garner once colorfully described the office of vice president of the United States as not worth "a pitcher of warm piss," and no doubt many of the 45 men elected to it would agree. Though it is the second highest elective office in the United States, there is but one constitutional duty: to preside over the Senate. Historically, vice presidents have often been relegated to attending state funerals and heading mostly ceremonial committees. Unless, of course, the president dies or resigns; they are then thrust into the presidency, often with little or no preparation. From John Adams to Albert Gore, Jr., this reference work provides biographies of 45 vice presidents of the United States. Despite the fact that many think of the office as a stepping stone to the White House, only 14 have actually served as president. Outside the public spotlight, many vice presidents led fascinating lives and served their country with distinction, though little has been written about them. The biographies herein focus on their work as vice president, their relationship with the president under whom they served, and their role in the White house. Their lives after the end of their terms are also examined fully. A bibliography follows each biography.
