Jewels: 50 Phenomenal Black Women Over 50 (Hardcover)

From Publishers Weekly
Photographer Cunningham (Crowns) and popular novelist Briscoe (Big Girls Don’t Cry, etc.) honor 50 women, more than half over 60, in this collection of stunning photographs and inspiring personal recollections. While a few have officially retired, none of these women can be described as retiring. “I’m having a wonderful time being exactly who I am at the age that I am,” says one, reflecting the general sentiments of this diverse group, which includes a financial consultant, reading specialist, sign language interpreter, tax lawyer, real estate broker and a bookstore owner (Clara Villarosa). Some are familiar (e.g., Ruby Dee, Eleanor Holmes Norton, Nikki Giovanni, S. Epatha Merkerson), but most are not. Several are involved with powerful institutions little known outside the black community—sororities, women’s clubs and service organizations. Tucked into their succinct narratives is a surprising abundance of practical advice about maneuvering betwee (more…)

Blackie: The Steve Black Story (Hardcover)

Steve Black is commonly regarded as one of the most inspirational fitness gurus in the world. He has worked with the finest sportsmen in both rugby and football, while his advice and motivation skills have been sought by many, including Kevin Keegan, Peter Reid and Paul Bracewell. It is in rugby, however, that he has really made his mark. His involvement in the game began when he took up his current post with Newcastle Falcons at the inception of the ‘rugby revolution’, which catapulted him into a different sphere. He was then signed up by manager Graham Henry as the conditioning coach for the Welsh national side. Following this came the pinnacle of his career, when he was selected for the British Lions tour of Australia in 2001. More recently, he has been named as one of the key factors behind Rugby World Cup hero Jonny Wilkinson’s success. However, Black’s story could have been very different. At 16 he worked as a bouncer for a variety of rough pubs in Newcastle upon Ty (more…)
