The daughter of Robert F. Kennedy shares personal remembrances of her father and through conversations with politicians, media personalities, celebrities and leaders, explores the influence that he continues to have on the issues at the heart of America's identity. Robert F. Kennedy staunchly advocated for civil rights, education, justice, and peace; his message transcended race, class, and creed, resonating deeply within and across America. He was the leading candidate for the Democratic nomination for the presidency and was expected to run against Republican Richard Nixon in the 1968 presidential election, following in the footsteps of his late brother John. After winning the California presidential primary on June 5, 1968, Robert Kennedy was shot, and he died the following day. He was forty-two. Fifty years later, Robert Kennedy's passions and concerns and the issues he championed are -- for better and worse-still so relevant. Ripples of Hope explores Kennedy's influence on issues at the heart of America's identity today, including moral courage, economic and social justice, the role of government, international relations, youth, violence, and support for minority groups, among other salient topics. Ripples of Hope captures the legacy of former senator and U.S. attorney general Robert F. Kennedy through commentary from his daughter, as well as interviews with dozens of prominent national and international figures who have been inspired by him. They include Barack Obama, John Lewis, Marian Wright Edelman, Alfre Woodard, Harry Belafonte, Bono, George Clooney, Gloria Steinem, and more. They share personal accounts and stories of how Kennedy's words, life, and values have influenced their lives, choices, and actions. Through these interviews, Kerry Kennedy aims to enlighten people anew about her father's legacy and bring to life RFK's values and passions, using as milestones the end of his last campaign and a life that was cut off much too soon. Thurston Clarke provides a powerful foreword to the book with his previous reporting on RFK's funeral train.

The effects of war refuse to remain local: they persist through the centuries, sometimes in unlikely ways far removed from the military arena. In Ripples of Battle, the acclaimed historian Victor Davis Hanson weaves wide-ranging military and cultural history with his unparalleled gift for battle narrative as he illuminates the centrality of war in the human experience. The Athenian defeat at Delium in 424 BC brought tactical innovations to infantry fighting; it also assured the influence of the philosophy of Socrates, who fought well in the battle. Nearly twenty-three hundred years later, the carnage at Shiloh and the death of the brilliant Southern strategist Albert Sidney Johnson inspired a sense of fateful tragedy that would endure and stymie Southern culture for decades. The Northern victory would also bolster the reputation of William Tecumseh Sherman, and inspire Lew Wallace to pen the classic Ben Hur. And, perhaps most resonant for our time, the agony of Okinawa spurred the Japanese toward state-sanctioned suicide missions, a tactic so uncompromising and subversive, it haunts our view of non-Western combatants to this day.

One of the many things we all have in common is the desire to live a meaningful and fulfilling life. It is this same desire that led Karma Yeshe Rabgye to Buddhism. While practicing religion in a more traditional sense isn't for everyone, there is much that can be gained from applying Buddhist teachings to everyday life. In his third book, Ripples in the Stream Karma Yeshe Rabgye shares a collection of Buddhism-inspired blog posts he compiled over a three-year period. The collection is written in a manner that is pragmatic, contemporary and easy to relate to.

After six years of economic development work in Africa, Ernesto Sirolli witnessed how little most foreign aid programs were actually doing for the people they hoped to help-from creating a communal tomato field on the banks of the Zambezi river (only to be demolished by the river's hippos at harvest time) to donating snow-plows to African nations! However well intentioned, Sirolli points out, inappropriate development often creates more problems than it solves. Thus was the genesis of this exciting and unique alternative to traditional economic development termed "Enterprise Facilitation"- where depressed communities can build hope and prosperity by first helping individuals to recognize their talents and business passion, and then providing the skills to transform their dreams into meaningful and rewarding work.

A wonderful selection of wave and ripple designs curated bySatoshi Nakamoto, the renowned creator of the digital currency Bitcoin. These beautiful illustrations are based on work by the Japanese artist Mori Yuzan, which has been carefully restored and reproduced to near original quality for Mr. Nakamoto's private collection. Yuzan's designs were often used by Japanese craftsmen in the early 1900s to adorn their wares with wave and ripple patterns, and as decorative motifs on the handles and blades of samurai swords and other fine objects like furniture, lacquerware and miniature sculptures.

Books! Tuition! These two simple words from a group of desperately poor orphans in Zambia set an American couple on a journey to build schools and provide educational resources to forgotten communities around the world. This journey takes an adventurous, daunting, inspiring, and often humorous route from a campfire in the "wrong" village in Zambia to Rwanda, Cambodia, Papua New Guinea, South Africa, Nepal, Ethiopia, Malawi, India, Kenya, Guatemala, and Peru and introduces this couple to Ms. Jean, Beata, Irene, Reachana, Phomotso, Dolly, Grant, OG, Debbie Poppins and so many other world changers along the way. The journey also gives these two university professors more education than their combined six college degrees ever could, gives them an adopted son, and gives them more inspiration than they could ever imagine. Monumental challenges, humbling failures, perspective-shifting experiences, and life-changing successes are shared through the lives and stories of amazing individuals from some of the remotest places on earth. The reader will be amazed, entertained, shocked--and most importantly educated and inspired to see how the opportunity for education, the power of human interaction, and the reach of the ripple effect can change the world one student, one school, and one community at a time.
