One of the best ways to encourage women to enter or continue in engineering is to hear about and see examples of other women in the field to whom they can relate. Joan Wills and Karen Ramsey-Idem bring together diverse, talented women across the commercial vehicle industry to share her unique experiences including the habits, motivations, triumphs, defeats, and lessons learned that helped each thrive in her leadership roles. These leaders represent three different generations across U.S., Europe, Africa and Asia. Doing the Hard Work provides insights that have relevance for women at all stages in their careers, whether its young women interested in pursuing a career in the auto industry, those looking for their next strategic move, or those seeking insight and inspiration. "An important contribution to the literature to encourage women to become engineers and continue careers in STEM." Maxine L. Savitz, Vice President, National Academy of Engineering (ISBN:9781468604030 ISBN:9781468604054 ISBN:9781468604047 DOI:10.4271/9781468604047)

This book publishes for the first time in print every word the American and Soviet leaders – Ronald Reagan, Mikhail Gorbachev, and George H.W. Bush – said to each other in their superpower summits from 1985 to 1991. Obtained by the authors through the Freedom of Information Act in the U.S., from the Gorbachev Foundation and the State Archive of the Russian Federation in Moscow, and from the personal donation of Anatoly Chernyaev, these previously Top Secret verbatim transcripts combine with key declassified preparatory and after-action documents from both sides to create a unique interactive documentary record of these historic highest-level talks – the conversations that ended the Cold War. The summits fueled a process of learning on both sides, as the authors argue in contextual essays on each summit and detailed headnotes on each document. Geneva 1985 and Reykjavik 1986 reduced Moscow's sense of threat and unleashed Reagan's inner abolitionist. Malta 1989 and Washington 1990 helped dampen any superpower sparks that might have flown in a time of revolutionary change in Eastern Europe, set off by Gorbachev and by Eastern Europeans (Solidarity, dissidents, reform Communists). The high level and scope of the dialogue between these world leaders was unprecedented, and is likely never to be repeated.

Made Whole Made Simple is not about any particular diet; it is about walking away from fad diets and putting the focus on you- the individual. It is everything but diet and all about learning to UNDIET. Made Whole Made Simple will be your companion to navigating self-healing through real food and healthy habits. This book tackles nutrition in a straightforward way, focusing on how the body uses food to create energy and why metabolic flexibility (the body’s ability to utilize whatever fuel it is given) is so important. The first section of the book covers some biochemistry basics, walking you through a nutritional therapy approach with actionable tips to get your body back in balance. “Knowing how it works” is the first step in figuring out “how it works for me.” The foundations of health are broken down into four sections: digestion; hydration & mineral balance; blood sugar regulation; and fatty acid balance. Each foundation features a Farmacy graphic listing which nutrients support that system of the body and why, giving you the information you need to target those areas that are in need of healing. This book makes using food as medicine easy and approachable with 140 allergy-friendly recipes, all of which are free of grain, gluten, soy, and nightshades. Minimal amounts of dairy and nuts are used, and many of the recipes are coconut-free, egg-free, and AIP compliant as well. For added convenience, many of the recipes can be made in one pot, on a sheet pan, or in a slow cooker or pressure cooker—and some require no cooking at all. Icons mark those recipes that use five ingredients or less or take 30 minutes or less to prepare. All of these easy recipes are nutrient-dense, using the entire Farmacy to nourish you and your family so that you can lose weight, reverse inflammation, and feel your best without having to slave away in the kitchen or sacrifice flavor. Made Whole Made Simple is complete with cutting-edge information on stress management, metabolic flexibility, fasting, immune health, and hormone balance with actionable steps that can be put in place on day 1.
