When Ann Richards delivered the keynote at the 1988 Democratic National Convention, her sharp wit, exemplified by her remark about President George H. W. Bush, catapulted her into the national spotlight and ignited a rivalry that would shape American politics. In 1990, she became the governor of Texas, defeating GOP candidate Clayton Williams. As the first prominent feminist in high office, Richards expanded public service opportunities for women, minorities, and the disabled. Her progressive legacy and dynamic personality left a profound impact that surpassed her gubernatorial tenure. In this biography, Jan Reid, drawing from his friendship with Richards and extensive research, presents a personal narrative of her extraordinary journey as a liberal Democrat in a conservative state. He chronicles her early life in Waco, her marriage, and her struggles with domesticity, alongside her encounters with political figures like Lyndon Johnson and Jimmy Carter. Reid details Richards's rise through local and state offices to the governorship, where she advocated for gun control, prison reform, and education funding. He also examines her reelection defeat to George W. Bush, which set the stage for his presidential ambitions. The portrayal captures Richards's later years as a globetrotting mentor and public speaker, revealing a complex figure who overcame personal challenges and a male-dominated political landscape to make her mark on hi

Does America, as George W. Bush has proclaimed, have a special mission, derived from God, to bring liberty and democracy to the world?

Kniha bývalého prezidenta Spojených států vyzývá občany k činům, neboť každý může přispět ke změnám světa. Clinton představuje moderní úsilí společností a organizací v řešení problémů a pomoci druhým. Nabádá k zamyšlení nad tím, co může každý udělat, bez ohledu na příjmy, čas, věk či dovednosti, aby pomohl jiným a umožnil jim prožít své sny. Sdílí vlastní zkušenosti a praxi dalších dárců – nevládních a neziskových organizací. Ukazuje, že darování času, dovedností či nápadů je stejně důležité jako finanční pomoc. Clinton také apeluje na výrobce, aby vyráběli energeticky úsporné a ekologické produkty a zajišťovali spravedlivé mzdy a pracovní podmínky. Zmiňuje, že veřejný tlak na změny ve vládní politice je významným způsobem dárcovství a popisuje kroky, které může podniknout každý. Jeho činnost po odchodu z Bílého domu měla obrovský dopad na životy milionů lidí, zejména prostřednictvím jeho nadace, která se angažovala v odstraňování důsledků přírodních katastrof. Clinton věří, že příběhy v knize povzbudí ducha a ukážou, jak může občanský aktivismus a služba veřejnosti měnit svět.

Oproep door de Amerikaanse politicus en oud-president tot het geven van tijd en moeite voor maatschappelijk welzijn door middel van charitatief vrijwilligerswerk.

Fernando Henrique Cardoso received a phone call in the middle of the night asking him to be the new Finance Minister of Brazil. As he put the phone down and stared into the darkness of his hotel room, he feared he'd been handed a political death sentence. The year was 1993, and he would be responsible for an economy that had had seven different currencies in the previous eight years to cope with inflation that had run at 3000 percent a year. Brazil had a habit of chewing up finance ministers with the ferocity of an Amazon piranha. This was just one of the turns in a largely unscripted and sometimes unwanted political career. In exile during the harshest period of the junta that ruled Brazil for twenty years, Cardoso started his political life with a tentative run for the Federal Senate in 1978. Within fifteen years, and despite himself, this former sociologist was running the country. And what a country! Brazil, it is often said, is on the edge of modernity, striding with one foot in mid-air towards the future, the other still rooted deep in a traditional past. It is a land of sophisticated music and brutal gold-digging, of the next global superpower and the last old-time coffee plantations. It is gloriously ungovernable, irrepressibly attractive, and home to the family, friends and extraordinary life of Fernando Henrique Cardoso. This is his story and his love song to his country.

"Bill Clinton intended his presidential library to tell the story of America at the end of the 20th century. It was meant to show not only what he did with his life, but what young people could do with theirs. This book walks the reader through the grounds, archives, school, and museum at the William J. Clinton Presidential Center, [and] it also presents an encapsulated biography of Clinton's work."--Dust jacket.

The narrative traces the extraordinary journey of a determined individual from Hope, Arkansas, whose deep passion for politics propelled him to overcome challenges and achieve the remarkable feat of becoming the 42nd President of the United States.

President Bill Clinton?s My Life is the strikingly candid portrait of a global leader who decided early in life to devote his intellectual and political gifts, and his extraordinary capacity for hard work, to serving the public. --Publisher's description

An exhaustive, soul-searching memoir, this work offers a candid look at the former president as a son, brother, teacher, father, husband, and public figure. The author outlines the history behind his greatest successes and failures, including his dedication to educational and economic reform, his battle against a "vast right-wing operation," and the "morally indefensible" acts that nearly led to his impeachment. It serves as autobiography as therapy—a personal history of a man confronting his private demons. The author shares vibrant tales from his youth, including encounters with giant watermelons, mobsters, and jazz musicians, while also providing an energetic portrait of American history and the evolving political landscape, shaped by significant events like the deaths of Martin Luther King Jr. and JFK. His unassuming, charming voice permeates the narrative, revealing insights about human nature and the importance of resilience and laughter. However, the attention to minute details can be overwhelming. When focusing on key memories—his family, Hillary, and his presidency—the emotional truth shines through. Ultimately, this memoir is a compelling account of a flawed man navigating his tumultuous life, offering readers an intimate glimpse into his journey from boyhood to the presidency.
