Extractions: Name: Thomas Sowell Birth Date: June 30, 1930 Place of Birth: Gastonia, North Carolina, United States of America Nationality: American Ethnicity: African American Gender: Male Occupations: economist, author, educator Thomas Sowell Main Biography Thomas Sowell (born 1930) is noted for his conservative views on social and economic issues. An African American author and economist, Sowell opposes such programs as affirmative action, busing, racial quotas, minimum wage, and welfare. He has drawn fire from liberals and a number of African American leaders, while generating applause from fellow conservatives. Sowell is an advocate of the "pull yourself up by the bootstraps" philosophy, which encourages people to improve their positions not by government intervention, but by personal ambition and hard work. He believes that government initiatives to ensure a fair playing field for African Americans have actually hurt their chances for equality. Regardless of whether or not one agrees with his views, Sowell is respected as a top economist, having published extensively in economic journals and general periodicals. He also spent the better part of three decades teaching in prestigious academic institutions. Into the 1990s, his name .....

A fast-paced memoir of the fear, heartbreak, humor and triumph of the author's four-year residency in orthopedic surgery. Can that young boy's leg be saved? How do you tell a woman she has widespread cancer? And when do you stop being bone tired? "We were learning that all the training and all the caring in the world were not going to solve every problem," Collins writes. What he also learns is the role he truly plays as a doctor, a role in which compassion is integral to the treatment. Commander of All Lincoln's Armies: A Life of General Henry W. Halleck

http://www.readinggroupguides.com/guides3/wind_done_gone2.asp

Extractions: Alice Randall was born in Detroit and graduated from Harvard in 1981. After a start as a journalist in Washington, D.C., she moved to Nashville to become a country songwriter. The only African-American woman ever to write a number-one country song, she has had more than twenty songs recorded. She is also a screenwriter and has worked on adaptations of Their Eyes Were Watching God Parting the Waters , and Brer Rabbit . Randall first read Gone With the Wind when she was twelve and loved the novel. Years later, a question came to trouble her: where were the mulatto children of Tara? It was a question that interested her personally: she is of mixed-race ancestry and has been told that her great-great-grandfather was Confederate General Edmund Pettus. The Wind Done Gone is Alice Randalls first novel. AR: The Wind Done Gone is a story of reading, writing, and redemption, the story of a woman, a black woman, who reads her way into writing and writes her way into redemption. It is in some sense my story. When I was a girl of six or seven I fell in love with the television series Batman . And like many loves, there was something I hated in it too: I hated the fact that no one who looked like me was in the story. For two weeks after that awareness I was frustrated. The third week I wrote myself in. I literally began to write out
