Book Description
The unassuming brown laminated card issued to Westminster lobby journalists is a VIP pass to the heart of our political world, allowing reporters to roam the corridors of power, to collar MPs for a private word. As a Political Correspondent for the BBC, Carole Walker was a member of this exclusive club for more than twenty years, attending hundreds of Lobby briefings with a front-row seat for Alastair Campbell's The Thick of It-style pronouncements and hanging out with a succession of prime ministers - always with an eye on the story. Drawing on interviews with former colleagues, politicians, spin doctors and critics of the system, as well as first-hand insight, Lobby Life tells the intriguing story of this highly secretive British institution from its conception to the present day. It exposes the battles at Downing Street to control the news agenda, including during some of most momentous stories in recent history. Through general elections, industrial strife, the EU referendum and the rise and fall of decades of governments, we witness the behind-the-scenes deals, the drama and debate, the resignations and the rows. In this no-holds-barred account of what really happens behind the closed doors of Westminster, Walker asks urgent questions about the role of the press today, when politicians can engage directly with voters via social media, bypassing journalists - and accountability. This book will intrigue anyone who wants to understand a political system that seeks to shape how and where we consume our news, and to influence who and what we believe.

Book Description
Indian Americans own about half of all the motels in the United States. Even more remarkable, most of these motel owners come from the same region in India and—although they are not all related—seventy percent of them share the surname of Patel. Most of these motel owners arrived in the United States with few resources and, broadly speaking, they are self-employed, self-sufficient immigrants who have become successful—they live the American dream. However, framing this group as embodying the American dream has profound implications. It perpetuates the idea of American exceptionalism—that this nation creates opportunities for newcomers unattainable elsewhere—and also downplays the inequalities of race, gender, culture, and globalization immigrants continue to face. Despite their dominance in the motel industry, Indian American moteliers are concentrated in lower- and mid-budget markets. Life Behind the Lobby explains Indian Americans' simultaneous accomplishments and marginalization and takes a close look at their own role in sustaining that duality.

Book Description
Pain never just creeps into a person’s life. Pain never just stops by for a front porch conversation, never knocks on your door or calls to see if it’s a good time. Pain always throws a party, and this party is guaranteed to shock you. Pain jumps out from behind the couch and shouts, “SURPRISE!!!!” Pain is the ultimate loose cannon—loud, flamboyant, and obnoxious. This is why we are so surprised when we walk through the doorway of the day-to-day to find this party planner in our home, with a crowd of unique and powerful guests. What you are about to read is a concept that God has allowed pain to teach me. Pain is a part of life—and, regardless of the reasons it shows up, I believe we can use it to discover purpose. There are several guests who will always show up at a pain party, and our ability to move through it comes down to our responses to the guests we choose to interact with. This is the story of Joanna, a conversation that took place between us, and ultimately the healing that was discovered through perspective. My prayer is that you will also experience this healing perspective and forever see pain through the lens that heals.

Book Description
Trey Managuas and Polly Anne Dodgems dreams were not the same, but they were compatible. Trey was unemployed at the age of sixty, the victim of a factory closure. He was too young to retire and too old to attract an employer. His dream was to work until he was sixty-six and retire with a comfortable nest egg for his golden years. Polly Anne was an innovator and entrepreneur. After years of research, she had finally developed a process by which she could regenerate usable cotton fiber from textile scraps. By regenerating the fiber from scraps, her black box process would easily reduce the use of landfill space used for untold tons of textile waste. More importantly, her use of regenerated fiber would reduce the number of acres of land required to grow cotton, which in turn would reduce the volume of chemicals and amount of water used to make that cotton grow. Her dream was to make a difference in peoples lives. She only needed a manufacturing facility and skilled workers to commercialize her process. Treys recently shuttered nonwovens factory offered the opportunity for Polly Anne to engage in manufacturing products using her regenerated cotton fiber. It was a match made in heaven. Praise the Lord!
