This is a book that is applicable to our business and personal lives. It helps us understand the dysfunctional ways that we see ourselves and others. It teaches us how to escape these deception traps so that we can see and treat people as they truly are so that we have healthier more productive relationships.

I chose this book because I was drawn to it at a very young age after receiving a free copy due to my accumulation of accelerated reader points. Frederick Douglass' life and accomplishments have inspired me to diligently work toward my goals and his quote "there is no progress without struggle" epitomizes hard work, dedication, motivation, and perseverance toward achieving one's goals despite life's circumstances.

It is an excellent history on the importance of logistics and supply chain management.

This book inspired me to ask questions and seek answers.

This work struck a visceral chord in me, taking me back to my own elementary school days in Mauritania, then a French colony. The French were determined to destroy our culture, our way of life, our very identities, insisting that we were not who we knew ourselves to be. Thus, they forced us to speak Only French. My birth language is Fulfulde and I and my fellow students were pitted against each other, trying to "catch" one another anywhere, anytime speaking their native language. Whoever retained the dreaded wooden token, the last one to be caught speaking our own languages outside of class, was called out at the beginning of each day and physically punished and humiliated before us all. We were being taught to hate and to deny our very own birthright.

This book combines science, history, and personal experiences with a love for a specific place. It captures the kind of work I want to do-and life I want to live.

I love the autoethnography approach used in the book. I also enjoyed the diversity of the authors and the stories shared (faculty members, graduate students, and even those who decided to leave academia). Higher education is a complex environment and it truly requires bravery, vulnerability, and resistance to make an impact. We often equate bravery and resistance with "disrespect," I was happy to read how these women were able to accomplish their goals while truly being brave and still respectful. Similarly, in higher education "vulnerability" is often equated with "weakness." It is very sad when I see scholar ashamed to share signs of weakness as if were are always strong and powerful. Reading about others sharing their vulnerable side, expressing their fears and doubts, is something I wish we did more often. I think their is beauty in showing we are still "human."

Wonderful foundation for canine and feline internal medicine
