How did the daughter of two immigrants in segregated California rise to become the nation's first black and first Asian-American vice President? She did it Kamala's way. From her humble beginnings in Oakland through her activist days at Howard University, Kamala Harris grew up to be tough, smart, quick-witted, demanding. You'll meet Harris the young prosecutor, who rose through the treacherous politics of San Francisco, and then of the state, to become the first Black female attorney general in California history. You'll discover Harris the risk-taker, who made the bold decision to run for Senate just five years into her tenure as attorney general. And you'll meet Harris the comeback queen, whose failure as a presidential candidate led to her brilliant behind-the-scenes campaign to land the all-important VP spot on Biden's ticket. Veteran journalist Dan Morain watched her ascent over his twenty-five years covering the state of California and delivers the first in-depth biography of her exceptional journey. Along the way, he reveals what Harris does when no one is looking: falling in love later in life, becoming a stepmother, and caring for little-known members of her longtime and informal political family, who always knew that "Kamala's Way" would land her on top.

Kamala's Way

An American Life

By: Dan Morain

A revelatory biography of the first Black woman to stand for Vice President, charting how the daughter of two immigrants in segregated California became one of this country’s most effective power players. There’s very little that’s conventional about Kamala Harris, and yet her personal story also represents the best of America. She grew up the eldest daughter of a single mother, a no-nonsense cancer researcher who emigrated from India at the age of nineteen in search of a better education. She and her husband, an accomplished economist from Jamaica, split up when Kamala was only five. The Kamala Harris the public knows today is tough, smart, quick-witted, and demanding. She’s a prosecutor—her one-liners are legendary—but she’s more reticent when it comes to sharing much about herself, even in her memoirs. Fortunately, former Los Angeles Times reporter Dan Morain has been there from the start. In Kamala’s Way, he charts her career from its beginnings handling child molestation cases and homicides for the Alameda County District Attorney’s office and her relationship as a twenty-nine-year-old with the most powerful man in the state: married Assembly Speaker Willie Brown, a relationship that would prove life-changing. Morain takes readers through Harris’s years in the San Francisco District Attorney’s Office, explores her audacious embrace of the little-known Barack Obama, and shows the sharp elbows she deployed to make it to the US Senate. He analyzes her failure as a presidential candidate and the behind-the-scenes campaign she waged to land the Vice President spot. Along the way, he paints a vivid picture of her values and priorities, the kind of people she brings into her orbit, the sorts of problems she’s good at solving, and the missteps, risks, and bold moves she’s made on her way to the top. Kamala’s Way is essential reading for all Americans curious about the woman standing by Joe Biden’s side.

HPV and Other Infectious Agents in Cancer

Opportunities for Prevention and Public Health

By: Hans Krueger,Gavin Stuart,Richard Gallagher,Dan Williams

After considering the aging population in developed countries, it has become clear to physicians and public policy administrators that prevention of cancer must play a more important role in national anti-cancer policy than it has in the past. The recent introduction of an HPV vaccine, coupled with discoveries concerning the relationship of H. pylori and cancer has brought the role of infectious agents in cancer into sharp focus in the medical community. While interest in the subject has grown, no single source existed to bring clinicians up-to-date on developments in disease mechanisms, population-based risk assessment and policy considerations in the field of cancer prevention. In this current and comprehensive text the authors review the basic science and clinical implications of individual infectious agents, while going beyond a mere update of the literature to offer insights on the current emerging prevention possibilities. This prevention perspective is what makes this particular text so valuable to researchers, epidemiologists, health care policy makers and oncologists. The discussion is organized to highlight the vital role of primary cancer prevention, and suggest directions for future research, practice and policy. Since HPV continues to be at the center of interest in the arena of infectious agents and cancer, the authors frame the majority of their discussion on this now-famous virus. The sheer volume of literature related to this virus and its many related cancers, and the burgeoning research on the development and implementation of a prophylactic vaccine necessitates a much fuller review of this infectious agent. Therefore, the book is roughly divided into two equal parts: one part devoted to HPV and another part devoted to five other prominent infectious agents in cancer.

Almighty

Courage, Resistance, and Existential Peril in the Nuclear Age

By: Dan Zak

**A Washington Post "Notable Nonfiction Book of 2016"** ON A TRANQUIL SUMMER NIGHT in July 2012, a trio of peace activists infiltrated the Y-12 National Security Complex in Oak Ridge, Tennessee. Nicknamed the “Fort Knox of Uranium,” Y-12 was supposedly one of the most secure sites in the world, a bastion of warhead parts and hundreds of tons of highly enriched uranium—enough to power thousands of nuclear bombs. The three activists—a house painter, a Vietnam War veteran, and an 82-year-old Catholic nun—penetrated the complex’s exterior with alarming ease; their strongest tools were two pairs of bolt cutters and three hammers. Once inside, these pacifists hung protest banners, spray-painted biblical messages, and streaked the walls with human blood. Then they waited to be arrested. WITH THE BREAK-IN and their symbolic actions, the activists hoped to draw attention to a costly military-industrial complex that stockpiles deadly nukes. But they also triggered a political and legal firestorm of urgent and troubling questions. What if they had been terrorists? Why do the United States and Russia continue to possess enough nuclear weaponry to destroy the world several times over? IN ALMIGHTY, WASHINGTON POST REPORTER Dan Zak answers these questions by reexamining America’s love-hate relationship to the bomb, from the race to achieve atomic power before the Nazis did to the solemn 70th anniversary of Hiroshima. At a time of concern about proliferation in such nations as Iran and North Korea, the U.S. arsenal is plagued by its own security problems. This life-or-death quandary is unraveled in Zak’s eye-opening account, with a cast that includes the biophysicist who first educated the public on atomic energy, the prophet who predicted the creation of Oak Ridge, the generations of activists propelled into resistance by their faith, and the Washington bureaucrats and diplomats who are trying to keep the world safe. Part historical adventure, part courtroom drama, part moral thriller, Almighty reshapes the accepted narratives surrounding nuclear weapons and shows that our greatest modern-day threat remains a power we discovered long ago.

Superheroine Kamala Harris

The Heartbeat of Quality Leadership

By: Dan Morain,Laura D Freeman

Kamala Harris Makes History as First female and Woman of Color as Vice President Ms. Harris, the lady of an Indian mother and Jamaican dad, has ascended higher in the country's initiative than any lady ever before her. From the most punctual days of her adolescence, Kamala Harris was instructed that the way to racial equity was long. She talked regularly on the battlefield of the individuals who had preceded her, of her folks, immigrants attracted to the social liberties battle in the United States - and of the progenitors who had paved the way. As she made that big appearance in Texas in no time before the political decision, Ms. Harris discussed being particular in her job however not singular. Indeed, sister, now and then we might be the one in particular that appears as though we are strolling in that room, she told a generally Black crowd in Fort Worth. In any case, what we as a whole know is we never stroll in those rooms alone - we are all in that room together. Asians Are Represented in Classical Music. Be that as it may, Are They Seen? (ANALYSED ON THE INSIDE PAGE) The certainty of Harris' historical run with President Joe Biden initially started with her own bid for the 2020 Democratic start in January 2019. Through the various discussions and media appearances that followed, electors adopted a lot about Harris' political perspectives and qualities, yet here are 10 things you probably won't think about the VP: 1. She is the little girl of Jamaican and Indian foreigners 2. Her name is a gesture to her Indian legacy 3. She has a long history of activism 4. She loves to cook 5. She's an ardent Reader The list continues and detailed analysis unlimited BUY NOW

No Bull

The Unauthorized Biography of Dennis Rodman

By: Dan Bickley

Who is Dennis Rodman? Readers flocked to find out with Bad As I Wanna Be, a confessional by Rodman himself that sold roughly 600,000 copies. But an autobiography rarely attains objectivity, nor tells the whole story. No Bull chronicles the life of America's Bad Boy - from the time his mother fled a broken marriage to Dallas with Dennis and his two sisters, to his early arrest for theft, to his emergence as a star at Southeastern Oklahoma State. Bickley follows Dennis during his rookie year and beyond with the Detroit Pistons, where he began to make headlines for more than his basketball talent, to suspensions while playing for the San Antonio Spurs, to his time with Michael Jordan and Chicago Bulls. We see Dennis Rodman on and off the court, and the reader can be sure no punches are pulled.
