The president and the freedom fighter : Abraham Lincoln, Frederick Douglass, and their battle to save America's soul / by Kilmeade, Brian,author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index."Upon his election as President of the troubled United States, Abraham Lincoln faced a dilemma. He knew it was time for slavery to go, but how fast could the country change without being torn apart? Many abolitionists wanted Lincoln to move quickly, overturning the founding documents along the way. But Lincoln believed there was a way to extend equality to all while keeping and living up to the Constitution that he loved so much--if only he could buy enough time. Fortunately for Lincoln, Frederick Douglass agreed with him--or at least did eventually. In The President and the Freedom Fighter, Brian Kilmeade tells the little-known story of how the two men moved from strong disagreement to friendship, uniting over their love for the Constitution and over their surprising commonalities. Both came from destitution. Both were self-educated and self-made men. Both had fought hard for what they believed in. And though Douglass had the harder fight, one for his very freedom, the two men shared a belief that the American dream was for everyone. As he did in George Washington's Secret Six, Kilmeade has transformed this nearly forgotten slice of history into a dramatic story that will keep you turning the pages to find out how these two heroes, through their principles and patience, not only changed each other, but made America truly free for all"--

Rogers v. Rogers : the battle for control of Canada's telecom empire / by Posadzki, Alexandra,author.;
"A riveting and definitive account that takes us inside the spectacular battle for control of Canada's largest wireless carrier, and paints a larger picture of the telecom industry, known for its cut-throat competetiveness and high stakes drama. Alexandra Posadzki's groundbreaking coverage in the Globe and Mail of the long-simmering tensions within Rogers exposed one of the most spectacular boardroom and family dramas in Canadian corporate history--one that has not only pitted the extraordinarily powerful chairman and largest shareholder, Edward Rogers, against current management but also the wishes of his own late mother, and sisters. Hanging in the balance is no less than the recent acquisition of Shaw Communications for $26 billion, Roger's biggest deal in their history that can transform them into the truly national telecom that founder Ted Rogers always envisioned. Based on deeply sourced investigative reporting of the iconic $30 billion publicly traded telecom and media giant, Posadzki takes us inside a company that touches the lives of millions of Canadians, and challenges what we thought we knew about corporate governance and who really holds the power. Rogers vs. Rogers is also a story of family ownership and succession, of the new guard pushing back at the old guard, and how warring factions each interpret the desires of the founding patriarch and the very legacy of the company that bears their name."--

The book of thorns / by Fox, Hester,author.;
"Penniless and stranded in France after a bid to escape her cruel uncle goes awry, Cornelia Shaw is far from the Parisian life of leisure she imagined. Desperate and lacking options, she allows herself to be recruited to Napoleon's Grande Armée. As a naturalist, her near-magical ability to heal any wound with herbal mixtures invites awe amongst the soldiers ... and suspicion. For behind Cornelia's vast knowledge of the natural world is a secret she keeps hidden-the flowers speak to her through a mysterious connection she has felt since childhood. One that her mother taught her to heed, before she disappeared. Then, as Napoleon's army descends on Waterloo, the flowers sing to her of a startling revelation: a girl who bears a striking resemblance to Cornelia. A girl she almost remembers-her sister, lost long ago, who seems to share the same gifts. Determined to reunite with Lijsbeth despite being on opposite sides of the war, Cornelia is drawn into a whirlwind of betrayal, secrets, and lies. Brought together by fate and magic at the peak of the war, the sisters try to uncover the key to the source of the power that connects them as accusations of witchcraft swirl and threaten to destroy the very lives they've fought for."--Dust jacket flap.
