The world’s greatest bodybuilder. The world’s highest-paid movie star. The leader of the world’s sixth-largest economy. That these are the same person sounds like the setup to a joke, but this is no joke. This is Arnold Schwarzenegger. And this did not happen by accident. Arnold’s stratospheric success happened as part of a process. As the result of clear vision, big thinking, hard work, direct communication, resilient problem-solving, open-minded curiosity, and a commitment to giving back. All of it guided by the one lesson Arnold’s father hammered into him above all: be useful.

Ever since a childhood visit to Washington, DC, Cassidy Hutchinson aspired to serve her country in government. Raised in a working-class family with a military background, she was the first in her immediate family to graduate from college. Despite having no ties to Washington, Hutchinson landed a vital position at the center of the Trump White House.

The story builds and rounds out news headlines that disregard important nuances. It also provides the important facts of her youth and humanity. Her recognition of the few people who gave her strength to speak truth to power gives witness to how fragile our government is. Teetering on an honorable few.

To grow up in the 1950s was to enter a world of polarized national alliances, nuclear threat, and destabilized social hierarchies. To be a privileged white girl in conservative, segregated Virginia was to be expected to adopt a willful blindness to the inequities of race and the constraints of gender. For young Drew Gilpin Faust, the acceptance of both female subordination and racial privilege proved intolerable and galvanizing. Urged to become “well adjusted" and to fill the role of a poised young lady that her upbringing imposed, she found resistance was the necessary price of survival.

So many reminders
Revisado: 11-05-23
Heartfelt reminders of where we’ve been and heartbreaking realizations of so little learned. This book is important.

Various Voices
Revisado: 11-06-21
I feel the strength of this collection of essays is in the various voices and timeframes which as a whole provide a well developed understanding of not only The African American agricultural experience but other marginalized communities as well. As a white woman who lives in a small rural community, I am aware of how our American agricultural system diminishes family farms. But understanding clearly the magnitude of hardship this system has placed on African Americans is important. We need a paradigm shift in our attitudes and in our system. These are long overdue for not only our American culture, but the well-being of the planet.
The narrator was good but I did feel her voice was a little too earnest over the long haul. My ear started to become numb to emphasis. Perhaps if I had spaced out the essays it would not have bothered me. But I kept listening for hours while gardening!
