Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Jerome woke up before the sun. His yellow shirt was folded on the chair, his backpack was waiting by the door, and everything was ready, almost. When the school building looks big, and his heart beats fast, it is Grandma who bends low and gives him something no backpack can carry: the reminder that he is Gullah Geechee, that he comes from strong people, and that strong people know how to be the one to smile first. Armed with those words and a belly full of warm grits, Jerome takes a deep breath and walks through the door. What he finds on the other side will stay with every young reader long after the last page is turned.Jerome's First Day of School is the fifth book in the Jerome and the Tapestry of Time series by Dr. Sherman J. Morris, and it carries forward everything that has made this series so beloved: the warmth of family kitchens, the wisdom of grandparents and uncles, and the deep, abiding pride of the Gullah Geechee tradition. From learning where his people came from, to navigating the world with dignity and courage, Jerome has been growing one story at a time. Now he carries everything his family has given him through a brand new door - and discovers that learning is not separate from who he is. It is another thread in the tapestry his family has been weaving long before he was born.This is a series built for young readers who deserve to see themselves on the page, and for every child, of every background, who has ever been told by someone who loves them: you come from strong people. Each book in the Jerome and the Tapestry of Time series opens a new door to family, history, courage, and love, inviting readers to follow Jerome as he grows, questions, discovers, and adds his own threads to a story that is still being woven. Begin with The Legacy of the Gullah Geechee People, continue with The Journey Through the Green Book, then Taste the Love and Uncle Tim and the First Fish, and now, Jerome's First Day of School. Stay close, because Jerome's tapestry is not finished yet.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Where the Field Stands Silent: A Story of Exclusion, Resilience, and the Fight to Reclaim Our Spaces is a powerful essay that examines how exclusionary policies can fracture communities, stifle potential, and deny future leaders their rightful place. Dr. Sherman J. Morris, a former Division I athlete, high school coach, college football administrator, and community advocate, takes readers through his deeply personal journey, tracing the impact of an ordinance that barred youth football coaches and administrators from serving as volunteers. In Deerfield Beach, Florida, where Dr. Morris grew up, the football field was a sanctuary-a place that instilled values of discipline, resilience, and unity. Yet, for many, these spaces have been made inaccessible by policies designed to keep certain people out. Through a narrative rich with reflection and insight, Dr. Morris highlights the voices of coaches, mentors, and young players left on the sidelines, challenging readers to see the lasting impact of restrictive policies. He explores the cost of excluding those willing to serve, mentor, and prepare the next generation of leaders, underscoring the importance of creating inclusive spaces where everyone has a right to contribute. This essay is both a call to action and a testament to resilience, advocating for equal access to community spaces and championing the rights of each individual-the right to volunteer, the right to participate, the right to play, grow, and build a future free from barriers. With Where the Field Stands Silent, Dr. Morris invites readers to envision a world where no field is left empty, and every young person has the opportunity to realize their potential under the guidance of mentors who genuinely understand their journey.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - In What Lies Beneath the Ground: A Reckoning with Deerfield Beach's 'Old Colored Cemetery,' Dr. Sherman J. Morris offers a deeply personal essay on Black memory, sacred land, segregation, and the unfinished work of telling the truth. Written by a son of Deerfield Beach, this work speaks directly to the young Black people of the city while inviting all readers to confront a history too often neglected, softened, or ignored. This is not simply the story of a cemetery. It is the story of a people, Black families who helped build Deerfield Beach while living under the weight of segregation, and a burial ground formed in a world that separated Black people in life and in death. It is the story of what happens when memory is neglected, land becomes valuable, and a community is forced to contend for the dignity of its dead. After years of silence, the ground finally spoke back. Part witness, part public history, and part call to leadership, this essay is an offering, a warning, and a call to remembrance. It asks readers to look again at the land, at the city, and at the truths buried beneath both. Perfect for readers interested in: - African American history- Florida history- Black memory and community preservation- Race, land, and public memory- Essays on justice, identity, and truthBecause the ground remembers.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The rules of college football have been rewritten. The fundamentals have not.Name, image, and likeness turned amateurs into earners. The transfer portal turned rosters into open markets. Revenue sharing put a salary cap and a payroll on programs that never had either - and made every head coach a general manager overnight. The job changed under everyone's feet, and no coaching tree prepared anyone for it.Win First is the field manual for the people now living that job.Drawing on twenty-five centuries of strategy from Sun Tzu's The Art of War, Dr. Sherman J. Morris, a former college football Director of Player Personnel and Director of Recruiting, now a consultant to coaches and athletic departments, argues that while the rules keep changing, the ground beneath them does not. Sun Tzu named five fundamentals that decide every contest, and they still tell a coach or a general manager exactly how to win in the era of the cap and the portal.Through the story of one program fighting to survive the new landscape, and real cases from across the sport, from the rise of the college GM to Florida State's collapse to Georgia's development machine, Win First turns ancient strategy into a practical system for building a program that lasts.Inside, you will learn how to: - Build the one thing a rival's checkbook can never buy: belief that keeps players when a bigger offer calls.(The Moral Law)- Win the transfer window before it opens, and read the calendar like a weapon. (Heaven)- Master the new terrain of the cap, the collective, the clearinghouse, and the 105-man roster. (Earth)- Lead a locker room where everyone knows what everyone else is paid. (The Commander)- Build the front office, the GM, the board, the cap discipline, the modern game demands. (Method)You will also get The Operator's Toolkit: seven ready-to-use worksheets for running your roster board, cap plan, portal window, NIL deal clearance, retention conversations, and more.With a foreword by SEC co-defensive coordinator Marcus Woodson and an introduction by Ohio State running backs coach and national champion Carlos Locklyn, Win First is written for head coaches, coordinators, athletic directors, and general managers doing the hardest job in the sport, and for anyone who wants to understand where college football is really going.The rules will change again. Win first anyway.…
