Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. A Giant for Justice tells the amazing true story of legendary educator and retired president of the Washington Teachers' Union, William H. Bill Simons. He accomplished dozens of great strides for teachers' rights and made a long and lasting impact on scores of educators, students, and parents during his twenty-five years of service. Compassionately told by one of the teachers who worked with him, this compelling biography showcases Bill's vision, efforts, and achievements, including strikes and walkouts to Congress, in which the author, herself, participated. The biography features reprints of official correspondence from Bills' desk, dozens of stunning photographs spanning Bill's life, and other archival documents. Also included at the end of the book are two chapters dedicated to tributes written to Bill by some of the many friends, family, former students, and colleagues whose lives he impacted. Not just a heartwarming account celebrating the life and accomplishments of a great man, A Giant for Justice serves as a prototype for other unions to expand and enhance their successes. Generations of union leaders to come can turn to this book for a concise statement of Bill's work and use it to guide them in their own pursuit of justice.…

Paperback. Zustand: Good. In this hauntingly unconventional novel, young Lissa Power challenges the imagination and captures the heart as she struggles to grow up under the guidance of her father, Stouten--a watchmaker, inventor, and mechanical wizard--who is easily old enough to be her grandfather. When Lissa is twelve, her mother dies from breast cancer, and the reclusive old watchmaker, now 84 years old, must oversee his daughter's coming of age. Faced with the loneliness of celibacy, the vulnerability of old age, and the responsibility of supporting two young children, Stouten remains determined to protect his beloved daughter from all harm. As Lissa matures, Stouten's authority becomes increasingly restrictive. Immersed in Stouten's old-fashioned and eccentric worldview, Lissa becomes her father's close companion, the mother of the house, and eventually her aging father's caregiver. Enmeshed in a powerful bond, father and daughter fall back on obsessive-compulsive behavior to cope with sexual trauma, sickness, poverty, old age, and death. Against a backdrop of tumultuous events in the 1950s, '60s, and '70s--the Cold War, political assassinations, the Vietnam War, peace protests, the Civil Rights movement, the moon landing, and the women's liberation movement--Stouten uses storytelling to transport Lissa back with him to the time of his childhood--a much quieter time, but not an idyllic one, when horses and oxen plowed the fields and folks moved more slowly, with the rhythm of nature. Here At the Far End of Nowhere, father and daughter weave fact with fiction and merge reality with fantasy to reveal a broader truth. …
