Book Description

"This much needed book . . .is a creative, helpful, and hopeful contribution at a time when we are especially challenged to bridge cultures in the pursuit of mutual understanding and peace."
— Jimmy Carter, Nobel Peace Laureate

In our global society, challenging conflicts abound in personal, business, government, and international settings. Many of these conflicts are complicated by layers of miscommunication, cultural misunderstandings, and completely different ways of looking at the world. These conflicts cannot be solved by goodwill or sincere intentions alone. In our multicultural world, we need new tools to address gaps in communication and understanding and the conflicts that flow from them.

Bridging Cultural Conflicts answers this need in groundbreaking ways that cut through complexity, replacing confusion with clarity. It introduces mindful awareness, cultural fluency, and conflict fluency as tools for decoding and moving through intercultural conflicts, and for deepening and integrating change. The book shows how fluency with culture and conflict can be learned through attention and practice, just as we would internalize a new language. As fluency is acquired, a process called dynamic engagement is presented to help prevent intercultural conflict, limit its escalation, and transform it into a learning experience.

Michelle LeBaron's approach in Bridging Cultural Conflicts is human, practical, and adaptable to a wide range of interpersonal, community, organizational, and political conflicts. Drawing from her work as an attorney, mediator, scholar, and internationally acclaimed consultant, Michelle combines the dynamism of Western approaches to conflict resolution with the insight and balance of Eastern approaches. In the process, she offers a wide array of creative strategies and usable tools. As we urgently seek better ways to work and live together and to address the issues that divide us, this timely book inspires flexibility, creativity, and hope.

Lebaron Charts New Waters.......2003-04-25

This is an extraordinary book. For those of us involved in cross-cultural training and negotiations work, this book brings together a progressive practioner's life experience and emotional intelligence to create new ways of framing our work. I used up a "highlighter" through the first two chapters. If your work is in mediation, cross-cultural communication, conflict resolution, negotiation, or facilitation, this book is a great investment. If you just want to know more about interactions between people and yourself, and come to better understand the internal dialogues you have when you are conflicted, this is a great, entertaining, and enlightening read.

Book Description

IF THE GRASS IS GREENER ON THE OTHER SIDE...

It's probably getting better care. Success is not a matter of luck or circumstance. It's not a matter of fate or the breaks you get or who you know.

Success is a matter of sticking to a set of commonsense principles anyone can master. In Lead the Field Earl Nightingale explains these guidelines: the magic word in life is ATTITUDE. It determines your actions, as well as the actions of others. It tells the world what you expect from it. When you accept responsibility for your attitude, you accept responsibility for your entire life.

Earl Nightingale -- the "Dean of Development" -- offers you a treasure trove of uplifting and insightful information like:

* The importance of forgiveness
* How "intelligent objectivity" can improve your professional life
* The usefulness of constructive discontent

Now it's your turn to bring positive changes to your own life, changes that will allow you to lead the field yourself!

Life Changing Material.......2007-02-21

I originally listened to the full set of lead the field tapes three years ago and my life has been changed considerably. I recently listened to this abridged version and found it to be well done and to capture all of the main points of the full recording. The messages that Earl Nightingale conveys are very motivational and thought provoking. You'll only get out of this CD set what you are willing to. I listen to it at least once a month to keep my mind in the right place and refresh these ideas in my life. If you are ready to improve your life and start working towards what you want, buy this CD set.

Can't get enough. Great CD.......2007-02-03

A must have for anyone wanting to succeed in life. You've achieved everything in your life because you at some point thought about it. So you should #1 set your self goals #2 think positive #3 look for diamonds around you #4 do things to achieve your goals everyday #5 treat other people nicely

One you buy it, you're going to want to listen to it several times and you'll start seeing the world in a positive light.

It sure has changed my view on the world.

Thanks Earl!

Lead the Field.......2006-11-05

"Lead the Field" by Earl Nightingale is by far one of the best books on CD I have ever listened to. After listening to the entire book, I listened to it again and then again all within a week time frame. It is so common sense advice, I wondered why I didn't just figure it out on my own. This is a book to listen to regularly for uplifting and maintaing a positive outlook on life. I have listened to other Earl Nightgale books and they are all good but this one is the best. I have recommended this book to all my family and friends. I recommend it now to you.

Book Description

“Lundy . . . has the art of storytelling . . . and that’s one reason it is such a pleasure to read this book.” —Newsday

In this definitive cookbook, Ronni Lundy taps her Kentucky roots and the recipes and food passions of fellow Southerners—including both home cooks and professional chefs—she met in her travels through the region. As she cooks her way through succulent purple-speckled butter beans, lady cream peas, corn, greens, muscadines, peaches, figs, mayhaws, and other bounty from the Southern garden, she passes along a trove of easy-to-follow recipes that will delight both Southerners who are rediscovering their cuisine and newcomers to it.

Customer Reviews:

This is Southern comfort, honey. Forget words...EAT !.......2006-08-31

Lundy writes, and cooks, in the spirit of Eugene Walter -- who she quotes in the book. Again...just buy the book and relish it...you will, you know.

Bravo!!!.......2004-02-26

This is a cookbook you read. Every word!
It has also reminded me that there are no meat-and-three cafes in all of California that I can find. And all the cornbread tastes like cake. Somebody is missing the boat here. You would make a good living if you opened this type of restarant. You could use this cookbook to get started!

Wonderful stories -- and great food too - the real South.......2004-02-20

This is the first book of Ronni Lundy's that I read and it inspired me to find and buy all the rest of her books. If you have Southern roots or know anyone who has, the stories and recipes will be even more meaningful to you. The South produces some of the best vegetables in the country and Southerners of all races have been developing ways to best showcase them. Buy this book for the recipes but keep it for the stories too.

Very interesting and full of good basic recipes.......1999-09-25

I really enjoyed this book and a variety of recipes found in this book. The author added stories that were amusing and made you want to read this book from cover to cover. Having a husband that drives long distance truck, the resturant referrals were great and have proven to be accurate!

This is a fun read. Good stories AND great recipes!.......1999-05-21

The recipes in "Butterbeans to Blackberries" are good enough to make bona-fide vegetable haters ask for a second helping, but this cookbook is so much more than a compilation of tasty recipes. Lundy is a Southerner who not only loves cooking and knows all those hidden secrets of Southern cooks, but she weaves the recipes around the unique people who make the South a special place. Her stories of the characters she runs into are every bit as delicious as the recipes. She's an authentic and fresh voice out of the South and her next move should be a novel of some of those characters (with a few new recipes thrown in for good measure!)
