Walk with Me to Another Land by Richard P. Zimmerman Pdf
The loss of a pastor throws a congregation into emotional turmoil. Sometimes bad circumstances force a pastor to leave. Sometimes an effective pastor moves to a new congregation or retires. Either way, the congregation is thrust into a unique journey through change and loss. People often fail to identify or understand the emotions of loss churning under the surface. Whether a congregation embraces a good future or gets stuck in the dynamics of the past depends in part on skillful and wise leadership. When faced with confusing signs, transitional leaders seek wisdom about the unique dynamics of a congregational system in flux. How can one leader adapt to the sudden and surprising needs inherent in transitional leadership? Firmly rooted in the biblical narratives of leading through journeys of transition, this book matches those narratives with case studies and other stories to connect the present practice of transitional leadership with the deep wisdom in the biblical accounts. The perseverance and hope inherent in the Bible's story of redemption deeply engages the dynamics of transition, suggesting ways to lead congregations to embrace a renewed mission. This combination of narratives points to a new level of understanding what is happening within communities in transition.

Jascha Heifetz by Galina Kopytova Pdf
Notoriously reticent about his early years, violinist Jascha Heifetz famously reduced the story of his childhood to "Born in Russia. First lessons at 3. Debut in Russia at 7. Debut in Carnegie Hall at 17. That's all there is to say." Tracing his little-known upbringing, Jascha Heifetz: Early Years in Russia uncovers the events and experiences that shaped one of the modern era's most unique talents and enigmatic personalities. Using previously unstudied archival materials and interviews with family and friends, this biography explores Heifetz's meteoric rise in the Russian music world—from his first violin lessons with his father, to his studies at the St. Petersburg Conservatory with the well-known pedagogue Leopold Auer, to his tours throughout Russia and Europe. Spotlighting Auer's close-knit circle of musicians, Galina Kopytova underscores the lives of artists in Russia's "Silver Age"—an explosion of artistic activity amid the rapid social and political changes of the early 20th century.

Gregor Piatigorsky by Terry King Pdf
Forced to provide for his family from the age of 8 and thrown out of his home into a bitter Moscow winter at age 12, cellist Gregor Piatigorsky began his career as an archetypal struggling artist, using secondhand and borrowed instruments. When the October Revolution forced his escape to Warsaw, he enjoyed initial success with the Warsaw Philharmonic. Relocating to Berlin a few months later, he again struggled in poverty before eventually emerging as solo cellist with the Berlin Philharmonic. Settling in the United States during World II, Piatigorsky continued a brilliant career that cemented his place as one of the twentieth century's greatest musicians. This all-embracing chronicle of Piatigorsky's tempestuous life and career finally reveals the full life story of a musical legend.

Glacier Girl by Richard L. Taylor Pdf
Glacier Girl: The Quest—The Prize is a memoir based on the journals of seven expeditions co-led by Richard Taylor and Pat Epps. Taylor’s journals cover eleven years of the search and retrieval of the P-38 Lightning, later called Glacier Girl. On her way to war in 1942, she and seven other planes in their squadron ran out of gas and crash-landed on the Greenland ice cap. After a two-week wait, all of the pilots and crew were rescued—no one left behind. They then went back to war, and the eight planes were abandoned. Eventually, they became known as the Lost Squadron. Thirty-nine years later, in 1981, Pat and Richard heard about this aviation event and formed the Greenland Expedition Society (GES). They teamed up with a couple of other pilots and headed north to find the planes. Their ambitious plan was to put fresh gas in the tanks, attach skis, and fly as many of the fighters as they could back to the States. What greater way to store airplanes than in a giant deep freeze? As it turned out, the planes turned out to be difficult to find. The first four expeditions to the ice cap ended were conspicuous mission failures. In situ lessons in Arctic survival are not offered without startlingly high payments of personal sacrifice. On the upside, some thrilling and harrowing stories of Mother Nature exercising her unlimited fury are shared. The ice cap adage of “shovel or die” takes on new meaning. It was not until the fifth expedition, using ground-penetrating radar of a discrete frequency, that the planes were finally located. At a glacial rate they had moved more than a mile from their original location. But that wasn’t the big problem. The bad news was that they were now encased in solid-blue ice, 260 feet deep in the bowels of the glacier. To melt a shaft through the ice and down to the planes, the GES, invented and built a system they called the thermal meltdown generator (TMG). In its first field application, at seventy feet deep in the glacier, the melt head lost directional control (gravity) and started heading horizontally. Henceforth, the future TMGs were affectionately called gophers. In 1990, the team returned to the glacier with a new gopher, melted a four-foot diameter shaft down to the B-17 bomber Big Stoop. They then descended down the ice shaft, melted out a hangar area around the bomber and salvaged an array of historical aviation paraphernalia—machine guns, throttle quadrants, instruments, the upper gun turret, and so on. The near impossible was accomplished. In 1992, now a little more seasoned, and with a few garlands of hard-earned achievement, they returned again with a new super gopher. Their sights were now set on retrieving at least one complete Lockheed, P-38 Lightning fighter plane. The mission started with melting five ice-shafts, closely in a row. The webs between the holes were then melted out to create a four-foot-by-twenty-foot slot in the glacier—260 feet deep. This was the right-sized opening through which they could lift large wings and fuselage sections to the surface. The airplane was then carefully deconstructed, hauled to the surface, and then delivered to the States for reassembly. It took ten years and two million dollars to put the plane back into flying condition. They called her Glacier Girl. The renovation was performed by Roy Shoffner, a GES partner in the seventh expedition. In 2002, Glacier Girl flew again and was featured in the one-hour History Channel presentation The Hunt for the Lost Squadron. Glacier Girl now flies and is the feature star attraction in airshows all over the country. Citius, altius, fortius.

Leadership Without Easy Answers by Ronald A. Heifetz Pdf
The economy uncertain, education in decline, cities under siege, crime and poverty spiraling upward, international relations roiling: we look to leaders for solutions, and when they don’t deliver, we simply add their failure to our list of woes. In doing do, we do them and ourselves a grave disservice. We are indeed facing an unprecedented crisis of leadership, Ronald Heifetz avows, but it stems as much from our demands and expectations as from any leader’s inability to meet them. His book gets at both of these problems, offering a practical approach to leadership for those who lead as well as those who look to them for answers. Fitting the theory and practice of leadership to our extraordinary times, the book promotes a new social contract, a revitalization of our civic life just when we most need it. Drawing on a dozen years of research among managers, officers, and politicians in the public realm and the private sector, among the nonprofits, and in teaching, Heifetz presents clear, concrete prescriptions for anyone who needs to take the lead in almost any situation, under almost any organizational conditions, no matter who is in charge, His strategy applies not only to people at the top but also to those who must lead without authority—activists as well as presidents, managers as well as workers on the front line.
