In Ivory Coast, the farewell “I give you half the road” is an expression of hospitality, urging a departing guest to come back again. After their first stay in a welcoming rural community in 1981, Carol Spindel and her husband did just that. Over the course of decades, they built a house and returned frequently, deepening their relationships with neighbors. Once considered the most stable country in West Africa, Ivory Coast was split by an armed rebellion in 2002 and endured a decade of instability and a violent conflict. Spindel provides an intimate glimpse into this turbulent period by weaving together the daily lives and paths of five neighbors. Their stories reveal Ivorians determined to reunite a divided country through reliance on mutual respect and obligation even while power-hungry politicians pursued xenophobic and anti-immigrant platforms for personal gain. Illuminating democracy as a fragile enterprise that must be continually invented and reinvented, I Give You Half the Road emphasizes the importance of connection, generosity, and forgiveness.

GET ALIGNED WITH YOUR SPOUSE, PLAN YOUR SECOND HALF TOGETHER Halftime for Couples is a roadmap for creating an intimate adventure together. “Halftime” is the season when couples look back and take stock, look forward and dream—then chart a new course together as a couple. It’s about moving beyond success to pursue significance. With author Lloyd Reeb’s guided reflection in this book, your halftime as a couple can be packed with fun, growth, and deep fulfillment. But living a life of significance always involves risk and sacrifice, and it’s not for the faint of heart. When you face real fears and obstacles on your path of God’s calling, you are drawn closer together. As you look back on those steps of faith, you see where God has worked, allowing you to partner with Him—together. Lloyd Reeb, Founding Partner at the Halftime Institute, has spent more than 10,000 hours helping leaders wrestle with powerful questions, dream beyond their limits, and craft roadmaps to live out those dreams. But—he did it alongside his wife, Linda, supporting her calling too. Out of their experience of journeying together during their own halftime season, Lloyd and Linda Reeb have created a practical guide for couples who want to plan their second half together. “The richest component of a significance-filled ‘second half’ is sharing the journey with those you love. Resist the temptation to head into your second half alone by excluding your spouse. Halftime for Couples is an essential interactive guide for couples who want to finish well together.” —BOB BUFORD, best-selling author of Halftime: From Success to Significance Linda and Lloyd Reeb have been married over thirty years. They enjoy living near Charlotte, North Carolina, and have three grown children. LINDA REEB was a stay-at-home mom and a part-time dental assistant during her first half. After exploring her calling and realizing her passion to encourage moms with young children, she founded MomsMentoring, and today, that is her primary occupation. LLOYD REEB spent his first half as a real estate developer and investor. For over twenty years, Lloyd has taken the halftime message around the world with the Halftime Institute, speaking, leading, and coaching individuals through midlife transition. Lloyd is the author of several books, including From Success to Significance: When the Pursuit of Success Isn’t Enough, The Second Half, and Finally Connected.

Magisterial, revelatory, and-most suitably-entertaining, What the Eye Hears offers an authoritative account of the great American art of tap dancing. Brian Seibert, a dance critic for The New York Times, begins by exploring tap's origins as a hybrid of the jig and clog dancing from the British Isles and dances brought from Africa by slaves. He tracks tap's transfer to the stage through blackface minstrelsy and charts its growth as a cousin to jazz in the vaudeville circuits and nightclubs of the early twentieth century. Seibert chronicles tap's spread to ubiquity on Broadway and in Hollywood, analyzes its decline after World War II, and celebrates its rediscovery and reinvention by new generations of American and international performers. In the process, we discover how the history of tap dancing is central to any meaningful account of American popular culture. This is a story with a huge cast of characters, from Master Juba (it was probably a performance of his in a Five Points cellar that Charles Dickens described in American Notes for General Circulation) through Bill Robinson and Shirley Temple, Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers, and Gene Kelly and Paul Draper to Gregory Hines and Savion Glover. Seibert traces the stylistic development of tap through individual practitioners, vividly depicting dancers both well remembered and now obscure. And he illuminates the cultural exchange between blacks and whites over centuries, the interplay of imitation and theft, as well as the moving story of African-Americans in show business, wielding enormous influence as they grapple with the pain and pride of a complicated legacy.What the Eye Hears teaches us to see and hear the entire history of tap in its every step.
