Michelle Obama: In Her Own Words
Get inside the head of Michelle Obama: author, lawyer, humanitarian, and the trailblazing first Black woman to serve as First Lady of the United States.This collection of quotes has been carefully curated from Michelle Obama’s numerous public statements—interviews, books, social media posts, television appearances, and more. It’s a comprehensive picture of her legacy as one of America’s most recognizable and influential women, specifically geared toward middle and high school readers. The quotes in the collection touch on education, friendship and community, life lessons, America, the role of First Lady, making change, inequality and injustice, and more. This edition includes educational materials and resources for lesson plans designed to provoke discussion and thought for readers in grades 7-12 about Michelle Obama''s ideas.Michelle Obama has been challenging others’ expectations since she was a young woman growing up on Chicago’s South Side. When a high school counselor told her, “I’m not sure you’re Princeton material,” Obama graduated as the salutatorian and went off to Princeton anyway. After graduating from Harvard Law School, Obama spent several years as an attorney at a prestigious Chicago law firm before committing her efforts to public service and community outreach. When her husband, Barack Obama, was elected president in 2008, she began a new chapter of her life as the first Black woman to serve as First Lady of the United States of America. While always conscious of the unique pressures and difficulties of her role, Obama made it her mission to present her authentic self to the American people. Her pride in and openness about the aspects of her identity that made her unusual among First Ladies—including her race, working-class upbringing, career path, and educational achievement—made her a figure beloved by the general public.Since emerging on the global stage, Obama has become a source of inspiration for young people all over the world, largely due to her engaging authenticity and candor. Now, Michelle Obama: In Her Own Words offers a unique look into the mind of one of the world’s most influential women by collecting 200 of her most insightful quotes. Meticulously curated from interviews, speeches, statements, and other sources, Michelle Obama: In Her Own Words creates a comprehensive picture of Michelle Obama, her wisdom, and her legacy.Special educational materials for classrooms are available from Agate Publishing.

Michelle Obamová - Můj příběh (2 MP3-CD) - audiokniha
Silné a inspirativní osobní vzpomínky bývalé první dámy Spojených států amerických. Audioknihu Můj příběh napsala autorka: Michelle Obamová, čte: Zuzana Stivínová. Malá Michelle Robinsonová vyrůstala v jižní části Chicaga, bydlela ve společném pokoji s bratrem Craigem a hrávala si s ním v nedalekém parku. Její rodiče, Fraser a Marian Robinsonovi, ji odmalička vedli k nebojácnosti a otevřenosti. Postupně ji život zavál mnohem dál: přes kampus Princetonské univerzity, kde poprvé pocítila, jaké to je být jediná černoška v přednáškové aule, až do proskleného kancelářského věžáku na post vysoce postavené firemní právničky. Tady se také jednoho letního dopoledne objevil student práv jménem Barack Obama. V knize Můj příběh Michelle Obamová líčí počáteční léta svého manželství, kdy se snažila sladit práci a rodinu se strmě stoupající politickou kariérou svého muže. S grácií, humorem a nevídanou upřímností nám nabízí sugestivní pohled do zákulisí oněch chvil, kdy její rodina přelomovým způsobem vstoupila na světovou scénu, i na osm historických let, jež prožila v Bílém domě - na to, jak se postupně seznamovala se svou zemí a její země se seznamovala s ní. Michelle Obamová nás ve svých vzpomínkách nechá nahlédnout do duše jedinečné, průkopnické osobnosti, jež se snaží žít nearanžovaný život a své síly i hlas propůjčuje do služeb vyšších ideálů. Ve zvukové podobě se interpretce Zuzaně Stivínové podařilo stát se jakoby alter egem autorky, takže s nebývalou přesvědčivostí a invencí vypráví její životní příběh.

Světlo v nás - Michelle Obamová
V inspirativním titulu SVĚTLO V NÁS bývalá první dáma Michelle Obamová navazuje na svůj memoárový bestseller Můj příběh, sdílí praktickou moudrost i účinné strategie pro udržování vnitřní naděje a rovnováhy v dnešním nanejvýš nejistém světě. Na velké životní výzvy možná neexistují prostá řešení ani pádné odpovědi, ale Michelle Obamová věří, že všichni můžeme nalézt a využívat soubor nástrojů, které nám pomohou lépe se vyrovnávat se změnami a zachovat si stabilitu v překotné době. V knize Světlo v nás navazuje se čtenáři otevřený a upřímný dialog a zabývá se otázkami, s nimiž mnozí z nás zápolí: Jak si vybudovat trvalé a upřímné vztahy? Jak objevit sílu a pospolitost i přes rozdílné názory? Jak se vypořádat s pochybnostmi o sobě samých či pocity bezmoci? Co dělat, když už je toho na nás moc? Michelle Obamová nabízí čtenářům nové příběhy a bystré postřehy na téma změn, výzev a moci, včetně svého přesvědčení, že když se rozsvítíme pro ostatní, osvětlíme tím bohatství a potenciál okolního světla, odhalíme hlubší pravdy a nové cesty pokroku. Vychází ze svých zkušeností matky, dcery, manželky, přítelkyně a první dámy a prozrazuje, jaké návyky a principy si vypracovala, aby se úspěšně přizpůsobila změnám a překonala rozmanité překážky - dělí se s námi o získanou moudrost, jež jí pomáhá dál psát "její příběh". Popisuje ty nejužitečnější praktiky, mezi něž patří například začínat den radostně, nesnižovat se k podlostem a vytvořit si vlastní "společenství kuchyňského stolu" z důvěryhodných přátel a moudrých lidí. Se svým typickým humorem, otevřeností a porozuměním se také zabývá rasovými, genderovými a dalšími společenskými otázkami, aby čtenářům pomohla překonat obavy, čerpat sílu ze své komunity a nebát se žít. "Když rozpoznáme vlastní světlo, dokážeme ho použít," říká Michelle Obamová. Inspirativní kombinací silných příběhů a užitečných rad Světlo v nás podněcuje konverzace a vede čtenáře k zamyšlení nad vlastním životem a nalezení zdrojů spokojenosti, a také pomáhá navázat smysluplné vztahy v rozbouřeném světě.

Teprve plán vytvořit na památku své lásky parfém jí dodá novou energii. Při hledání vhodné vůně se seznámí s charismatickým Dimitrim Romanovem. Spolu s ním cestuje na jih Francie, do kolébky všech významných vůní, a brzy přichází na stopu vůni lásky. Coco Chanel – jedinečná žena a báječná milenka. Ikona 20. století. Toto je její příběh. „Nedělám módu. Já jsem móda.“ Francie 1919. Celá Paříž nosí modely Gabrielle Chanel. Má přezdívku Coco a proslavila se nekompromisností v otázkách stylu i lásky. Její móda je revoluční, ženy už nestahuje korzet, ale přesto je považována za ztělesnění elegance. Pak náhle zahyne při autonehodě její milenec Boy Capel a Coco propadne hlubokému smutku. Aby překonala tragickou ztrátu, vrhne se do vztahu se skladatelem Igorem Stravinským. Ale teprve nápad vytvořit na památku své velké lásky nový parfém, který by se zároveň hodil pro moderní ženy, jí vrátí odvahu znovu žít. Při hledání vhodné vůně se setká s Dimitrim Romanovem, ruským knížetem v exilu, s nímž sdílí pocit ztráty. Avšak jakmile se dokáže znovu otevřít lásce, přichází na stopu parfému, který je dodnes nejúspěšnější na světě – Chanel No. 5.

Rainforest Capitalism - Thomas Hendriks
Congolese logging camps are places where mud, rain, fuel smugglers, and village roadblocks slow down multinational timber firms; where workers wage wars against trees while evading company surveillance deep in the forest; where labor compounds trigger disturbing colonial memories; and where blunt racism, logger machismo, and homoerotic desires reproduce violence. In Rainforest Capitalism Thomas Hendriks examines the rowdy world of industrial timber production in the Democratic Republic of the Congo to theorize racialized and gendered power dynamics in capitalist extraction. Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork among Congolese workers and European company managers as well as traders, farmers, smugglers, and barkeepers, Hendriks shows how logging is deeply tied to feelings of existential vulnerability in the face of larger forces, structures, and histories. These feelings, Hendriks contends, reveal a precarious side of power in an environment where companies, workers, and local residents frequently find themselves out of control. An ethnography of complicity, ecstasis, and paranoia, Rainforest Capitalism queers assumptions of corporate strength and opens up new ways to understand the complexities and contradictions of capitalist extraction.

Jej rodičia Fraser a Marian Robinsonovci ju odmalička viedli k tomu, aby bola otvorená a nebojácna. Život ju však zavial oveľa ďalej a do úplne iných sfér - počnúc posluchárňami Princetonskej univerzity, kde po prvý raz pocítila, aké je to byť jedinou černoškou v aule, až po presklenú výškovú kancelársku budovu, kde pracovala na poste renomovanej firemnej právničky. Tu sa v jedno letné dopoludnie objavil v jej kancelárii študent Barack Obama a obrátil celý jej starostlivo naplánovaný život naruby. Michelle Obamová opisuje v tejto knihe začiatky svojho manželstva, keď sa snažila zladiť prácu, rodinu a materské povinnosti s rýchlo sa rozvíjajúcou politickou kariérou svojho manžela. Odhaľuje súkromné diskusie...
