Elevate
Summary
After countless generations of searching for and sharing wisdom, why does man's quest for meaning remain so elusive? Or, if we know what we want, why is it often so hard to achieve? What's missing? Is the solution to our troubles a recipe of what to do, or is the real issue why we don't?
Answers abound, and yet people remain stuck and unhappy, self-limiting, and periodically self-destructive.
A modern world that is bursting with conflicting information can often make us feel even more lost as we struggle to understand life's mysteries and implement strategies for happiness and supposed success. Answers are not enough; we also need insights.
Elevate does all that and more as it weaves together five powerful insights and 10 essential skills - linking awareness and action, East and West, ancient and modern, spiritual and scientific - so that we can build a staircase of success.
Increased clarity and capability lead to elevated confidence and growth...however you choose to define it. Joseph Deitch shares his lifelong pursuit of wisdom and growth in an accessible, practical, down-to-earth gift to his listeners.
Elevate is a modern classic, a celebration of life and the potential that exists for all of us. It's a formula for turning frustration into fascination, and it provides a universal framework for what works and why, what to do...and why we don't.

The Persuasive Power of Campaign Advertising
Summary
The Persuasive Power of Campaign Advertising offers a comprehensive overview of political advertisements and their changing role in the Internet age. Travis Ridout and Michael Franz examine how these ads function in various kinds of campaigns and how voters are influenced by them. The authors particularly study where ads are placed, asserting that television advertising will still be relevant despite the growth of advertising on the Internet. The authors also explore the recent phenomenon of outrageous ads that "go viral" on the web - which often leads to their replaying as television news stories, generating additional attention. The Persuasive Power of Campaign Advertising features the first analysis of the impact on voters of media coverage of political advertising and shows that televised political advertising continues to have widespread influence on the choices that voters make at the ballot box.

Heart of a Lion
Summary
Late one June night in 2011, a large animal collided with an SUV cruising down a Connecticut parkway. The creature appeared as something out of New England's forgotten past. Beside the road lay a 140-pound mountain lion.
Speculations ran wild, the wildest of which figured him a ghostly survivor from a bygone century when lions last roamed the eastern United States. But a more fantastic scenario of facts soon unfolded. The lion was three years old, with a DNA trail embarking from the Black Hills of South Dakota on a cross-country odyssey eventually passing within thirty miles of New York City. It was the farthest landbound trek ever recorded for a wild animal in America, by a barely weaned teenager venturing solo through hostile terrain.
William Stolzenburg retraces his two-year journey - from his embattled birthplace in the Black Hills, across the Great Plains and the Mississippi River, through Midwest metropolises and remote northern forests, to his tragic finale upon Connecticut's Gold Coast. Along the way, the lion traverses lands with people gunning for his kind, as well as those championing his cause.
Heart of a Lion is a story of one heroic creature pitting instinct against towering odds, coming home to a society deeply divided over his return. It is a testament to the resilience of nature, and a test of humanity's willingness to live again beside the ultimate symbol of wildness.
