In My Defense

An Unlikely Romance, a Deadly Gunshot, and a Young Woman's Road to Redemption

By: Leigh Ann Bryant

When Leigh Ann pulled the trigger ... her life changed forever. On a balmy night, everything changed in the stilling of a heartbeat ... During Leigh Ann's psychiatric clinical work as a nursing student, a patient swept her off her feet with his dazzling good looks and charm. But soon after marrying Mr Right, things began to go horribly wrong. Believing the best of the man she loved, she endured the heartache and abuse until his threats turned deadly. On the night of September 16, 1994, Leigh Ann Bryant, fearing for her life and that of her young son, shot and killed her husband. Panicked and afraid of retaliation, she told the police an intruder had committed the crime. Indicted for murder, and subsequently jailed, Leigh Ann's journey of desperation miraculously turned to one of ultimate healing. In My Defense is for anyone who has felt alone or hopeless at the hands of abuse - whether it is emotional, physical, sexual, or spiritual. It offers tangible hope for victims - and those who love them - who are earnestly seeking the light of healing and freedom. Leigh Ann's story will grip and shake you, and never let you go.

Stories from Jonestown

By: Leigh Fondakowski

The saga of Jonestown didn’t end on the day in November 1978 when more than nine hundred Americans died in a mass murder-suicide in the Guyanese jungle. While only a handful of people present at the agricultural project survived that day in Jonestown, more than eighty members of Peoples Temple, led by Jim Jones, were elsewhere in Guyana on that day, and thousands more members of the movement still lived in California. Emmy-nominated writer Leigh Fondakowski, who is best known for her work on the play and HBO film The Laramie Project, spent three years traveling the United States to interview these survivors, many of whom have never talked publicly about the tragedy. Using more than two hundred hours of interview material, Fondakowski creates intimate portraits of these survivors as they tell their unforgettable stories. Collectively this is a record of ordinary people, stigmatized as cultists, who after the Jonestown massacre were left to deal with their grief, reassemble their lives, and try to make sense of how a movement born in a gospel of racial and social justice could have gone so horrifically wrong—taking with it the lives of their sons and daughters, husbands and wives, fathers and mothers, and brothers and sisters. As these survivors look back, we learn what led them to join the Peoples Temple movement, what life in the church was like, and how the trauma of Jonestown’s end still affects their lives decades later. What emerges are portrayals both haunting and hopeful—of unimaginable sadness, guilt, and shame but also resilience and redemption. Weaving her own artistic journey of discovery throughout the book in a compelling historical context, Fondakowski delivers, with both empathy and clarity, one of the most gripping, moving, and humanizing accounts of Jonestown ever written.

Early Kansas City, Missouri

By: Leigh Ann Little,John M. Olinskey

In 1821, François Chouteau set up a fur-trading outpost along the Missouri River, bringing the first settlement of Europeans to what would become Kansas City, named after the Kansa tribe of Native Americans who inhabited the area. At the center of a growing nation, the "City on the Bluff" would build and thrive as a river town, a gateway to the West, and a railroad hub, absorbing the influences of pioneers and immigrants traveling through or making it their home. Striving to become "A City Beautiful," its parks and boulevards drew attention from around the world. These are the beginnings of a town carved out of a hillside in the wilderness, transformed into an exciting metropolis that would eventually be called home by Walt Disney, Ernest Hemingway, Jesse James, and many others who left a lasting mark on history.

By: T. Christopher Greenwell,Leigh Ann Danzey-Bussell,David J. Shonk

Running a sport event—whether it’s an international competition or local youth tournament—requires acute knowledge and the ability to plan, organize, promote, lead, and communicate effectively. And no other text prepares students for the task as effectively as Managing Sport Events, Third Edition With HKPropel Access.

Beginning with an overview of event conception and development, the text then moves into the principal planning areas of budgeting, marketing, promotion, sponsorships, and legal and risk management. Later chapters focus on key operational areas such as staffing, event services and logistics, and event-day management, and it closes with postevent details and evaluation. The third edition includes new and updated content that incorporates plenty of contemporary real-life examples: Insights into how event management has been affected by COVID-19 and by the emergence of social media, sustainability efforts, and diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives All-new content addressing the role of brand ambassadors, social media influencers, and nontraditional media in promoting events and encouraging fan engagement An updated discussion of event sponsorships and how sport organizations are implementing creative activation strategies, pre-event and game-day deliverables, and the latest technologies to maximize exposure and measure effectiveness An expanded discussion of contracts and other legal considerations such as compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) An expanded section outlining how principles of project management can be used to effectively plan events New industry profiles that provide insights into key players and noteworthy happenings in event management Related online activities, delivered through HKPropel, provide robust learning opportunities for students: A brand-new semester-long project in which students plan, prepare, produce, and evaluate a fictional pickleball tournament as well as compile a formal event management plan handbook Scenario-based activities in which students make a decision and then see the implications of their choice Mini case studies for each chapter with questions to test comprehension Sample contracts that represent common agreements encountered in event management Practicing and aspiring professionals working in parks and recreation, tourism, hospitality, and sport organizations at all levels—youth, high school, college, amateur, minor league, professional, and international—will find this book a valuable reference in their roles as event managers. Blending traditional business tenets of sport management with the distinct aspects of event management, Managing Sport Events, Third Edition, prepares readers to manage events with efficiency and ease so that fans and participants alike have lasting game-day memories.

Randomistas

How Radical Researchers Are Changing Our World

By: Andrew Leigh

A fascinating account of how radical researchers have used experiments to overturn conventional wisdom and shaped life as we know it Experiments have consistently been used in the hard sciences, but in recent decades social scientists have adopted the practice. Randomized trials have been used to design policies to increase educational attainment, lower crime rates, elevate employment rates, and improve living standards among the poor. This book tells the stories of radical researchers who have used experiments to overturn conventional wisdom. From finding the cure for scurvy to discovering what policies really improve literacy rates, Leigh shows how randomistas have shaped life as we know it. Written in a “Gladwell-esque” style, this book provides a fascinating account of key randomized control trial studies from across the globe and the challenges that randomistas have faced in getting their studies accepted and their findings implemented. In telling these stories, Leigh draws out key lessons learned and shows the most effective way to conduct these trials.

Hear Me Now: The Black Potters of Old Edgefield, South Carolina

By: Adrienne Spinozzi,Michael J. Bramwell,Vincent Brown,Katherine C. Hughes,Ethan W. Lasser,Simone Leigh,Jason R. Young

A reckoning of the central role of enslaved and free Black potters in the long-standing stoneware traditions of Edgefield, South Carolina Recentering the development of industrially scaled Southern pottery traditions around enslaved and free Black potters working in the mid-nineteenth century, this catalogue presents groundbreaking scholarship and new perspectives on stoneware made in Edgefield, South Carolina. Among the remarkable works included are a selection of regional face vessels as well as masterpieces by enslaved potter and poet David Drake, who signed, dated, and incised verses on many of his jars, even though literacy among enslaved people was criminalized at the time. Essays on the production, collection, dispersal, and reception of stoneware from Edgefield offer a critical look at what it means to collect, exhibit, and interpret objects made by enslaved artisans. Several featured contemporary works inspired by or related to Edgefield stoneware attest to the cultural and historical significance of this body of work, and an interview with acclaimed contemporary artist Simone Leigh illuminates its continued relevance.
