Book Description
In “a lively debut…[with] plenty of enthusiastic ‘can-do’ advice” (Publishers Weekly), a Homeland Security advisor and a Pulitzer Prize–nominated columnist—and mother of three—delivers a timely message about American security: it begins at home. Soccer Moms are so last decade. Juliette Kayyem is a “Security Mom.” At once a national security expert who worked at the highest levels of government, and also a mom of three, she’s lived it all—from anthrax to lice to the BP oil spill—and now she tells it all with her unique voice of reason, experience, and humility. Weaving her personal story of marriage and motherhood into a fast-paced account of managing the nation’s most perilous disasters, Juliette recounts the milestones that mark the path of her unpredictable, daring, funny, and ultimately relatable life. Security Mom is modern tale about the highs and lows of having-it-all parenthood and a candid, sometimes shocking, behind-the-scenes look inside the high-stakes world of national security. In her signature refreshing style, Juliette reveals how she came to learn that homeland security is not simply about tragedy and terror; it is about us as parents and neighbors, and what we can do every day to keep each other strong and safe. From stocking up on coloring books to stashing duplicate copies of valuable papers out of state, Juliette’s wisdom does more than just prepare us to survive in an age of mayhem—it empowers us to thrive. “You got this,” Juliette tells her readers, providing accessible advice about how we all can better prepare ourselves for a world of risks.

Skid Road

Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 361
Book Description
Skid Road tells the story of Seattle “from the bottom up,” offering an informal and engaging portrait of the Emerald City’s first century, as seen through the lives of some of its most colorful citizens. With his trademark combination of deep local knowledge, precision, and wit, Murray Morgan traces the city’s history from its earliest days as a hacked-from-the-wilderness timber town, touching on local tribes, settlers, the lumber and railroad industries, the great fire of 1889, the Alaska gold rush, flourishing dens of vice, the 1919 general strike, the 1962 World’s Fair, and the stuttering growth of the 1970s and ’80s. Through it all, Morgan shows us that Seattle’s one constant is change and that its penchant for reinvention has always been fueled by creative, if sometimes unorthodox, residents. With a new introduction by Pulitzer Prize-winning book critic Mary Ann Gwinn, this redesigned edition of Murray Morgan’s classic work is a must for those interested in how Seattle got to where it is today.

Exposed

Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 807
Book Description
About the book Exposed, Written by Anat Cherpak: An emotional journey of an autobiographical young man named Yossef Ohana. Actor and creator Yossef Ohana, who has just released his debut album. Worldwide Success, is launching a new digital book explaining a complex and exciting emotional journey that travels between the religious world and the secular culture, between the mainstream and the closet, the search for roots and the path to self-realization of all dreams. The new gospel in the world of self-development is the new digital book by former creator and journalist Yossef Ohana which exposes and takes us on a complex emotional journey ranging from the spiritual worlds to the routine, between the bad and the good, the transition between studying at the Chabad meeting. To the Sheinkin culture (his place of residence), and the way to find answers in the universe calling to us. The new book is a 5-year work and is written as a series of stories, monologues and, finally, breathtaking confessions that encourage us to follow our dreams, dare, fulfill and connect with the inner self. Yossef Ohana is only 41 years old, but has gained a lot of mileage as an entertainment journalist as a songwriting artist and now as a writer. He was born in Ashdod and studied at a religious school from age 6 to high school in his new book based on real stories he tells about leaving the closet at age 35 about the time in London where he studied acting about the years he worked as a cultural and broadcast correspondent on radio and western, copywriting in advertising offices and of course the work of a pop album with 8 autobiographical songs written and most of them compiled by him who have had unprecedented success in music digital stores with tens of thousands of plays in Europe, India, Japan, USA, North Korea and more. The album called EXPOSED, just as the book, was launched in English and deals with the inner struggle between lies, sins and the desire to find love and truth within the world of religion. Among the songs that star you will find Lies and Sins opening song and Sins closing song. Today at the age of 40 plus Yossef is approaching religion again, in order to get closer to his roots, to follow his beliefs. Today Yossef works in the Tel Aviv municipality in the special education department, continues to write and compose songs and dreams of financial independence and full time as a theatre actor. In the book EXPOSED and an album distributed around the world, Yossef invites the reader / listener to embark on an autobiography journey that tells his childhood story, the storms of emotion and the complex search for the connection to self, truth, honesty and relationship. It's a kind of search and self-discovery roadmap that makes the reader better understand themselves and examine life in a new perspective. Yossef's recent major change is attributed to a dangerous car accident that miraculously survived. Yossef: I was 20 and walking around Allenby street, Tel Aviv, on the way to a friend. Suddenly I noticed a bus that stopped and without thinking I jumped in front of him to get on it. It was completely dark and in a second I noticed a flash of car lights and woke up in the middle of the road with only a broken nail. Since that event, I have embarked on a quest for answers and meaning, and this is also the inspiration for the first chapter of the book, Yossef Ohana recalls. Focusing only on his art returned to his parents' home for a good few years.
