“Leah Darrow uses her experience in the beauty industry to help the women of our culture see what true beauty looks like.” —Jennifer Fulwiler, host of The Jennifer Fulwiler Show and author of Something Other than God Do you feel like you’re never good enough? Like you should be living a more Instagram-worthy life? Are you exhausted by the impossible quest for physical beauty but still yearn for the validation of being chosen, valued, and deemed beautiful? Drawing on her experience on America’s Next Top Model and her work as a fashion model, Leah Darrow exposes the lies we are told about our worth being tied to our appearance and instead invites us to look again at the real meaning of beauty. She shows how we can reclaim true and lasting beauty—the kind that doesn’t depend on self-doubt, exploitation, or comparison—when we reflect God’s glory and embrace our value as he made us to be: strong, brave, and free. Only when we learn to see ourselves as God does can we leave behind our culture’s definitions and demands and find joy in The Other Side of Beauty.
In Fundamentals of Lawyer Leadership: A Skills Guide to Professional Identity Formation, we explore the aspects of leadership and professional identity formation that take root and begin to grow while students are in law school and throughout their lifelong journey as practicing attorneys and professionals. We like to describe professional identity and its formation as the process of becoming a complete lawyer; however, honing the skill sets of a complete lawyer takes time and study. Just as developing legal skills is a life-long endeavor, growing as a leader is a process that evolves over a lifetime. To become whole, healthy, skilled professionals, it is imperative that lawyers engage in a process of lifelong learning. That journey begins in law school, where professors help guide students not only in the formation of their professional identities, but also to develop as effective, thoughtful leaders. This process is vital, not merely as an ABA requirement, but to ensure the future of the profession. For students to develop as both professionals and leaders requires a personal, practical, and reflective approach to the issues. This ownership of continuous professional growth toward excellence, grounded in a service-oriented approach is a cornerstone of preparedness for leadership, and therefore, development as a lawyer. This textbook begins with professional identity formation and foundational leadership and what each means. In Part II, Leadership of Self: Growing into Leadership, the leadership journey requires looking inward to examine who you are, what type of lawyer you want to be, and how you will lead. In Part III, Leadership with Others: Effective Group Dynamics, the book covers topics such as building and nurturing relationships, developing emotional and cultural intelligence, becoming a valuable member of teams, civility, civil discourse, and creating inclusive environments. Finally, in Part IV, Leadership within Community: Service and Impact, the book examines the role of the lawyer in society, including crisis management, how to be prepared for moments of opportunity, and how you can use your skills to have influence and impact others. Contributing your energy to worthy causes about which you are passionate will bring purpose and satisfaction to your life. The authors are available to advise any law school faculty who plan to teach a leadership course and would be happy to discuss the lessons they’ve learned in teaching leadership. Their contact information will be provided upon request. Highlights of Second Edition: Incorporates more clearly the ABA’s requirements for professional identity formation (PIF) Discusses the intersection of that concept with leadership Provides a practical skills approach to becoming a professional Includes an overview of lawyers’ professional identity and formation as a first step to influence and impact through leadership Adds material on new topics, including: Civility and Civil Discourse Character Development o Addressing Fear, Failure, and Feedback Preparing for the future through innovation Design theory Technology The business of lawyering and marketing/branding Addresses the disruptions facing the profession (via changes such as artificial intelligence) and suggests a way forward Takes a fresh look at the issues facing those who would join the profession and gives meaningful, relevant guidance to prepare lawyers to be their best as they serve their clients and communities Professors and students will benefit from: A modular nature due to its multipartite organization, making the book uniquely adaptable for different settings, including: Leadership as a full course, incorporating a module into doctrinal courses, or providing leadership training in a professional development setting, and more A roadmap for teaching these concepts in an easy-to-understand manner that allows for flexibility and adaptability via its teaching framework A book and comprehensive resources written and designed for both new and experienced professors The emphasis of the themes of life-long professional development, lawyers’ ethical obligations, and service throughout

A MOST ANTICIPATED BOOK • From renowned organizers and activists Leah Hunt-Hendrix and Astra Taylor, comes the first in-depth examination of Solidarity—not just as a rallying cry, but as potent political movement with potential to effect lasting change. “A window into what is possible when we reject the politics of division, trade individualism for interconnectedness and prioritize coming together for the greater good.”—Heather McGhee, author of The Sum of Us: What Racism Costs Everyone Solidarity is often invoked, but it is rarely analyzed and poorly understood. Here, two leading activists and thinkers survey the past, present, and future of the concept across borders of nation, identity, and class to ask: how can we build solidarity in an era of staggering inequality, polarization, violence, and ecological catastrophe? Offering a lively and lucid history of the idea—from Ancient Rome through the first European and American socialists and labor organizers, to twenty-first century social movements like Occupy Wall Street and Black Lives Matter—Hunt-Hendrix and Taylor trace the philosophical debates and political struggles that have shaped the modern world. Looking forward, they argue that a clear understanding of how solidarity is built and sustained, and an awareness of how it has been suppressed, is essential to warding off the many crises of our present: right-wing backlash, irreversible climate damage, widespread alienation, loneliness, and despair. Hunt-Hendrix and Taylor insist that solidarity is both a principle and a practice, one that must be cultivated and institutionalized, so that care for the common good becomes the central aim of politics and social life.
Bad Haircut Kale Chips. Post-ER Roast Chicken. New Baby Risotto. Frantic Dinner-Party Calming Soup. These are some of the dishes that food writer Leah Eskin has turned out during her years of raising two children, enduring one dog, and tending her marriage. She's also nurtured her ten-year-old food column, "Home on the Range," providing a recipe and accompanying vignette in the Chicago Tribune every week. Slices of Life transforms those columns into a memoir that readers can savor in small or large bites. It's a compilation of more than 200 recipes, with a generous helping of the life stories that happened along the way: moving-day potatoes, summer-vacation apricot pie, dead-microwave ratatouille, sullen-child oatmeal squares. Whether preparing recipes for disaster or delight, Leah Eskin has made it all delicious!

Kate McAdams was forced six years ago to leave her beloved hometown of Willow Valley, leaving behind her family and the only man she's ever loved, Marc Caliendo. Although she has created a new life for herself away from the drama, secrets and stress of the small town, she must return upon her grandmother's death. Her return brings back wonderful memories, especially of Marc, but also horrible fears from the past. When fate throws her and Marc together once again, how can they ignore the everlasting love and desire between them? Will Kate stay and face her demons or will the deceit and secrets of the past destroy any future they may have and force her to leave again?
Abby McAdams can't sleep. She keeps having nightmares about her grandmother. Cuddling up beside her friend, Riley, helps to ease some of the fears. Well, cuddling and the candy she keeps hidden around his apartment. She can't help but feel an attraction to Riley too, but they are just friends...right? Riley has his own past that haunts him, but she thinks he might want to get to know Abby on a deeper level too. As they fight their own desires to be together, the past comes back to slap them in the face. When they finally give in to their lustful cravings, will their love be enough to erase their pasts or will it be just another broken heart for both of them? "Lakeshore Candy" is the fourth in the "By The Lake" series, about the McAdams sisters, from author Shannyn Leah. This book can be read as a stand alone, but for more enjoyment read them in the order of the series, as all the characters appear in future books.

Troisième opus de Leah Raeder : Intelligente, sexy et provocante, l'histoire d'une passion interdite entre une élève et son jeune professeur. Maise O'Malley vient de fêter ses 18 ans et s'apprête à commencer des études de cinéma. Cette jeune fille au caractère bien trempé, qui prétend n'avoir peur de rien et ment volontiers sur son âge, a toujours eu l'impression d'avoir grandi trop vite. Quand elle rencontre Evan un soir dans une fête foraine, l'attirance est immédiate, intense, et pour elle sans lendemain. Pourtant, dès le jour suivant, Maise ne pense à rien d'autre qu'à lui. Ce trentenaire lui fait découvrir combien l'amour peut être plus qu'une brève rencontre, qu'il peut révéler une complicité inattendue avec un homme qui la comprend réellement. Un homme qui voit derrière ses bravades la petite fille effrayée et courageuse qu'elle est en réalité. Le jour de la rentrée, Maise découvre avec stupeur qu'Evan n'est autre que Mr Wilke, son nouveau professeur de cinéma. Tous deux décident d'interrompre leur liaison, mais leurs sentiments les rattrapent : ils sont incapables de résister à leur attirance mutuelle. Si à l'université et devant les autres, Maise et Evan sont deux acteurs feignant l'indifférence, dès qu'ils partagent des moments ensemble, ils se sentent vivre et être pleinement eux-mêmes. Mais leurs masques sont fragiles et menacent souvent de tomber. Les élèves les observent, les rumeurs courent... Commence alors un jeu dangereux dont il leur sera difficile de sortir indemnes. uatrième de couverture Maise O'Malley vient de fêter ses 18 ans et s'apprête à commencer des études de cinéma.
