Hennepin Technical Library/EP Non-Fiction HN49.C6 S57 1999
"After six years of economic development work in Africa, Ernesto Sirolli witnessed how little
most foreign aid programs were actually doing for the people they hoped to help-from creating
a communal tomato field on the banks of the Zambezi river (only to be demolished by the
river's hippos at harvest time) to donating snow-plows to African nations! However well intentioned, Sirolli
points out, inappropriate development often creates more problems than it solves. Thus was the genesis
of this exciting and unique alternative to traditional economic development termed 'Enterprise Facilitation'where depressed communities can build hope and prosperity by first helping individuals to recognize their
talents and business passion, and then providing the skills to transform their dreams into meaningful and
rewarding work."--Publisher's Website

and others--struggle to make their ideas "stick." Why do some ideas thrive while others die?
And how do we improve the chances of worthy ideas? Educators and idea collectors Chip and Dan Heath
reveal the anatomy of ideas that stick and explain ways to make ideas stickier, such as applying the
"human scale principle," using the "Velcro Theory of Memory," and creating "curiosity gaps." In this fastpaced tour of success stories (and failures), we discover that sticky messages of all kinds--from the
infamous "kidney theft ring" hoax to a coach's lessons on sportsmanship to a vision for a new product at
Sony--draw their power from the same six traits. This book that will transform the way you communicate
ideas.--From publisher description.

Biography, Autobiography, Memoir:
Autobiography of a face / Lucy Grealy.
Hennepin Technical Library/EP Non-Fiction RD661.G74 A3 2003
At age nine, Lucy Grealy was diagnosed with a potentially terminal cancer. When she
returned to school with a third of her jaw removed, she faced the cruel taunts of classmates.
In this strikingly candid memoir, Grealy tells her story of great suffering and remarkable
strength without sentimentality and with considerable wit. Vividly portraying the pain of peer
rejection and the guilty pleasures of wanting to be special, Grealy captures with unique insight what it is
like as a child and young adult to be torn between two warring impulses: to feel that more than anything
else we want to be loved for who we are, while wishing desperately and secretly to be perfect. "I spent
five years of my life being treated for cancer, but since then I've spent fifteen years being treated for
nothing other than looking different from everyone else. It was the pain from that, from feeling ugly, that I
always viewed as the great tragedy of my life. The fact that I had cancer seemed minor in comparison."

camps is known to have escaped. No one, that is, except Shin Dong-hyuk. In Escape from
Camp 14, Blaine Harden unlocks the secrets of the world's most repressive totalitarian state through the
story of Shin's shocking imprisonment and his astounding getaway. Shin knew nothing of civilized
existence--he saw his mother as a competitor for food, guards raised him to be a snitch, and he
witnessed the execution of his mother and brother…Harden's harrowing narrative exposes this hidden
dystopia, focusing on an extraordinary young man who came of age inside the highest security prison in
the highest security state. Escape from Camp 14 offers an unequalled inside account of one of the world's
darkest nations. It is a tale of endurance and courage, survival and hope."--Publisher's Website

the sky had begun to roil with clouds ..." "This is the terrifying story of what really happened that fateful
day at the top of the world, during what would be the deadliest season in the history of Everest. In this
harrowing yet breathtaking narrative, Krakauer takes the reader along with his ill-fated expedition, step by
precarious step, from Katmandu to the mountain's pinnacle where, plagued by a combination of hubris,
greed, poor judgment, and plain bad luck, they would fall prey to the mountain's unpredictable fury."-Jacket.

"From Tom Brokaw, the bestselling author of The Greatest Generation, comes a powerful
memoir of a year of dramatic change--a year spent battling cancer and reflecting on a long,
happy, and lucky life. Tom Brokaw has led a fortunate life, with a strong marriage and
family, many friends, and a brilliant journalism career culminating in his twenty-two years as
anchor of the NBC Nightly News and as bestselling author. But in the summer of 2013,
when back pain led him to the doctors at the Mayo Clinic, his run of good luck was interrupted. He
received shocking news: He had multiple myeloma, a treatable but incurable blood cancer…After his
diagnosis, Brokaw began to keep a journal, approaching this new stage of his life in a familiar role: as a
journalist, determined to learn as much as he could about his condition, to report the story, and help
others facing similar battles. That journal became the basis of this wonderfully written memoir, the story of
a man coming to terms with his own mortality, contemplating what means the most to him now, and
reflecting on what has meant the most to him throughout his life…Generous, informative, and deeply
human, A Lucky Life Interrupted offers a message of understanding and empowerment, resolve and

"Information literacy may be defined as the ability to identify a research problem, decide the
kinds of information needed to tackle it, find the information efficiently, evaluate the
information, and apply it to the problem at hand. Teaching Research Processes suggests a novel way in
which information literacy can come within the remit of teaching faculty, supported by librarians, and
reconceived as 'research processes.' The aim is to transform education from what some see as a
primarily one-way knowledge communication practice, to an interactive practice involving the core
research tasks of subject disciplines. This title is structured into nine chapters, covering: defining research
processes; research ability inadequacies in higher education; research processes and faculty
understanding; current initiatives in research processes; the role of disciplinary thinking in research
processes; research processes in the classroom; tentative case studies in disciplinary research process
instruction; research processes transforming education; and resourcing the enterprise. The book
concludes by encouraging the reader to implement the teaching of research processes."--Publisher's

of a Really Useful Attitude, the secrets of voice tone and body language, the difference between "opening
up" words and "closing down" words. And reinforcing all of these skills is knowing how to read another
person's sensory preference -- most of us are Visual people, some are Kinesthetic and a few are

Finders keepers : a novel / Stephen King.
Hennepin Technical Library/EP FIC KIN
""Wake up, genius." So begins King's instantly riveting story about a vengeful reader. The
genius is John Rothstein, an iconic author who created a famous character, Jimmy Gold, but
who hasn't published a book for decades. Morris Bellamy is livid, not just because Rothstein
has stopped providing books, but because the nonconformist Jimmy Gold has sold out for a
career in advertising. Morris kills Rothstein and empties his safe of cash, yes, but the real treasure is a
trove of notebooks containing at least one more Gold novel. Morris hides the money and the notebooks,
and then he is locked away for another crime. Decades later, a boy named Pete Saubers finds the
treasure, and now it is Pete and his family that Bill Hodges, Holly Gibney, and Jerome Robinson must
rescue from the ever-more deranged and vengeful Morris when he's released from prison after thirty-five
years"-- provided by publisher.

Hennepin Technical Library/EP FIC KIN
"In a small New England town over half a century ago, a boy is playing with his new toy
soldiers in the dirt in front of his house when a shadow falls over him. He looks up to see a
striking man, the new minister, Jamie learns later, who with his beautiful wife, will transform
the church and the town. The men and boys are a bit in love with Mrs. Jacobs; the women
and girls, with the Reverend Jacobs--including Jamie's sisters and mother. Then tragedy
strikes, and this charismatic preacher curses God, and is banished from the shocked town. Jamie has
demons of his own. Wed to his guitar from age 13, he plays in bands across the country, running from his
own family tragedies, losing one job after another when his addictions get the better of him. Decades
later, sober and living a decent life, he and Reverend Charles Jacobs meet again in a pact beyond even
the Devil's devising, and the many terrifying meanings of Revival are revealed. King imbues this
spectacularly rich and dark novel with everything he knows about music, addiction, and religious
fanaticism, and every nightmare we ever had about death. This is a masterpiece from King, in the great
American tradition of Frank Norris, Nathaniel Hawthorne, and Edgar Allan Poe"-- Provided by publisher.

The things they carried : a work of fiction / Tim O'Brien.
Hennepin Technical Library/EP FIC OBR
This work depicts the heroic young men of Alpha Company as they carry the emotional
weight of their lives to war in Vietnam in a patchwork account of a modern journey into the
heart of darkness. They battle the enemy (or maybe more the idea of the enemy), and
occasionally each other. In their relationships we see their isolation and loneliness, their
rage and fear. They miss their families, their girlfriends and buddies; they miss the lives
they left back home. Yet they find sympathy and kindness for strangers (the old man who leads them
unscathed through the mine field, the girl who grieves while she dances), and love for each other,
because in Vietnam they are the only family they have.
