Laguna Niguel is one of America's earliest master-planned communities. In 1958, the Boston-based real estate firm of Cabot, Cabot &amp; Forbes began acquiring over 7,000 acres of sheep-grazing land in south Orange County that had been owned by ranchers, including the French Basque Daguerra family and the Moulton family. Prior to that, the property was the Rancho Niguel Mexican land grant and, earlier, a part of a Niguili Native American village. The Boston firm hired noted architect Victor Gruen as the master planner and brought in investors through the Pacific Coast Stock Exchange. In 1959, the Laguna Niguel Corporation was formed, and the development began. Ansel Adams was hired to provide the original photographs of the property; Ladd &amp; Kelsey, William Pereira, and other noted mid-century modern architects designed the housing, schools, offices, and retail centers. This development's interesting and groundbreaking concepts set the stage for how communities were created in the last half of the 20th century.

This collection of true short stories (tied together with 80 old photographs and 12 original letters) is set in a very remote almost inaccessible part of Ethiopia back in the 1960s when Haile Selasie was still alive and in power. Partly for the adventure, but also just to escape being drafted into the Vietnam War, a young American couple volunteer to spend two years in a tiny village of grass huts helping several dozen very poor farmers establish a new town in the lowland jungle of the Rift Valley, on land recently given to them by the sometimes loved, sometimes loathed Emperor. The stories are not just about the couple's struggle with fire, disease and death in a totally unfamiliar environment, culture and language, however. They are also gentle stories about how life choices are never black and white and even selfless good intentions can sometime have a serious downside.This book is a "prequel" to Ted Wells' book: "Power, Chaos & Consensus".

A first-of-its-kind book of honest reflections, straight talk, and essential advice about life at big law firms for people of color What do young people of color aspiring to careers in the law need to know about life at big law firms? What do law schools need to do to prepare them? What do the firms themselves need to do to attract, retain, and promote them? In Raising the Bar, four partners of color from leading law firms engage in a no-holds-barred conversation about what it takes to make it in big law using their own journeys to the top to discuss how law firms can do a better job of attracting and holding on to a more diverse set of young attorneys. They also offer advice to the attorneys themselves on how to succeed in a culture that has long excluded them, including finding mentors among those who don’t look like you, building a portable toolkit of skills, establishing key connections outside the firm, and staying “true to you,” even as young associates of color navigate the foreign terrain of insular firm culture. The book also includes a section of concrete advice from diversity coordinators at several top law firms.
