Tim Niemier grew up in Malibu among the surfing legends and pioneering watermen who defined this California lifestyle. But Tim chose a different path when he converted a surfboard into his first sit-on-top kayak. The first time Tim ventured into the waves, the ocean stole his soul and never gave it back. Tim struggled with attention deficit disorder long before it was defined, but used it to his advantage. Against overwhelming odds, he used the power of A.D.D. to combine his passions for art and water sports into designs for kinetic kayak sculptures. People have said, "Today, there are more boats and boards on this earth designed by Tim Niemier than anyone else in history." He introduced the sit on top kayak to the world and started Ocean Kayak Inc., which became a multi-million dollar business that transformed paddlesports from an elite expert sport into a recreational activity almost anyone could enjoy. This is the story of Tim Niemier and his audacious dream of "getting a billion butts on boats and boards" by creating simple water-friendly designs for everyone.

Neste Livro poderoso e cheio de revelações, Danny Silk descreve a mudança de paradigma significativa que ocorreu na vida, no governo e nos relacionamentos da igreja. Essa mudança foi responsável por promover e manter a cultura de avivamento na Bethel Church, em Redding, Califórnia. Com muitas histórias relevantes e reais, a igreja é revelada neste libro como um lugar de liberdade, respeito, capacitação e disciplina saudável (e não de punição). Cultura da Honra desafia a estrutura de liderança da igreja como a conhecemos e apresenta uma visão renovada dos cinco ministérios. Jesus reconheceu esse importante princípio em Mateus 20:25-26: “Jesus os chamou e disse: ‘Vocês sabem que os governantes das nações as dominam, e as pessonas importantes exercem poder sobre elas. Não será assim entre vocês. Ao contrário, quem quiser tornar-se importante entre vocês deverá ser servo”. Se aqueles que estão investidos de poder aprenderem a capacitar os que os cercam, então isto certamente se tornará realidade. “Renha o Teu reino, Seja feita a Tua vontade, assim na terra como no Céu. Você pode aplicar hoje mesmo as verdades reveladas neste conjunto de princípios práticos, mas carregardos do sobrenatural, aos relacionamentos existentes em sua familia, em seu local de trabalho, em sua comunidade, em seu ministério e em sua igreja —onde quer que você esteja em contato com outras pessoas.

For 40 years, the Cold War dominated the world stage. East and West Germany stood at the frontlines of the global confrontation, symbolized by the infamous Berlin Wall, which separated lovers, friends, families, coworkers, and compatriots.The Wende Museum in Los Angeles, California, is named after the period of change immediately following the wall's destruction. It was established in 2002 to study the visual and material culture of the former Eastern Bloc, and, with physical and psychic distance, to foster multiple perspectives on this multilayered history that continues to shape our world.This encyclopedic volume features around 2,000 items from its extraordinary collections. Based on our XL-sized volume, this edition includes a full spectrum of art, archives, and artifacts from socialist East Germany: official symbols and dissident expressions, the spectacular and the routine, the mass-produced and the handmade, the funny and the tragic.Accompanying these remnants of a now-vanished world are texts from scholars and specialists from across Europe, Canada, and the United States, with themes ranging from the secret police to sexuality, from monuments to mental-mapping. More than 800 pages, featuring around 2,000 objects.A smaller, more accessible version of our XL-sized volume, the most comprehensive overview of GDR visual and material culture to date.Several dozen images of everyday life and public events from the most famous GDR photographers.Special two-language edition featuring texts both in English and German.From November 18, 2017, visit the Wende Musem at its expanded campus in Culver City’s Armory Building, a site originally created in preparation for World War III but re-designed by Michael Boyd, Christian Kienapfel, and Benedikt Taschen to welcome its 100,000+ collection of artifacts.

Beyond Boundaries is a survey of the best of California photography over the past five years. The sixty-five artists represented here have been drawn from a pool of over 300 photographers, nominated by museum curators, gallery directors, art publishers and critics, specialists at small non-profit organizations and major metropolitan museums, working across the state. The only parameter was that the artist selected needed to be living in California at the time. Developed over a year of meeting with the artists involved, Beyond Boundaries is arranged as a loosely thematic collage which echoes the links between the artists.

In 1973, a group of California lawyers formed a non-profit, public-interest legal foundation dedicated to defending conservative principles in court. Calling themselves the Pacific Legal Foundation, they declared war on the U.S. regulatory state--the sets of rules, legal precedents, and bureaucratic processes that govern the way Americans do business. Believing that the growing size and complexity of government regulations threatened U.S. economy and infringed on property rights, Pacific Legal Foundation began to file a series of lawsuits challenging the government's power to plan the use of private land or protect environmental qualities. By the end of the decade, they had been joined in this effort by spin-off legal foundations across the country.The Other Rights Revolution explains how a little-known collection of lawyers and politicians--with some help from angry property owners and bulldozer-driving Sagebrush Rebels--tried to bring liberal government to heel in the final decades of the twentieth century. Decker demonstrates how legal and constitutional battles over property rights, preservation, and the environment helped to shape the political ideas and policy agendas of modern conservatism. By uncovering the history--including the regionally distinctive experiences of the American West--behind the conservative mobilization in the courts, Decker offers a new interpretation of the Reagan-era right.

In the late 1800s, Clovis M. Cole purchased large tracts of land in California’s San Joaquin Valley with the intent to farm wheat. Marcus Pollasky, a businessman from the East with a keen eye for a profit, proposed building a railroad that would bring more people and gains to the area. The two struck a deal. Cole sold key landholdings to Pollasky, and the town was given Cole’s first name. Businesses grew along Front Street, and families purchased nearby 20-acre parcels where they built homes and grew abundant crops. Living in Clovis became a way of life as dedication to family, friends, and community defined the area.

California is obsessed with water. The need for it - to use and profit from it, to control and manipulate it - has shaped Californian history to a remarkable extent. Not surprisingly, the story of Californians and water is filled with intrigue and plot twists. The author tells that story from before the arrival of Europeans to the drought that ushered in the 1990s. He describes the waterscape in its natural state: a scene of incredibly varied terrain and watercourse and wildly fluctuating rainfall. The aboriginal Californians did little to alter this natural state. Aside from limited diversions of streams for irrigation or fish harvesting, they simply took what water they needed from places they found it. Early Spanish and Mexican immigrants, although they exploited water supplies on a large scale for the settlements, considered water primarily a community resource, not to be monopolized by anyone. It was the Americans, arriving in ever-increasing numbers after the Gold Rush, who transformed California into a collection of the nation's pre-eminent water seekers. By the later 20th century, a large, colourful cast of characters and communities had wheeled and dealed, built, diverted and conived its way to an entirely different California waterscape. The author demolishes the image of monolithic "water empire" managed by a homogeneous elite. There were always competing individuals and interests in every question of water use, and the mammoth projects - dams, aquaducts and irrigation districts - all came about through uneasy, constantly shifting political alliances. The story is still being written and it revolves, as it always has, around the consequences of human values for the waterscape.

In the fall of 1980, Genentech, Inc., a little-known California genetic engineering company, became the overnight darling of Wall Street, raising over $38 million in its initial public stock offering. Lacking marketed products or substantial profit, the firm nonetheless saw its share price escalate from $35 to $89 in the first few minutes of trading, at that point the largest gain in stock market history. Coming at a time of economic recession and declining technological competitiveness in the United States, the event provoked banner headlines and ignited a period of speculative frenzy over biotechnology as a revolutionary means for creating new and better kinds of pharmaceuticals, untold profit, and a possible solution to national economic malaise. Drawing from an unparalleled collection of interviews with early biotech players, Sally Smith Hughes offers the first book-length history of this pioneering company, depicting Genentech’s improbable creation, precarious youth, and ascent to immense prosperity. Hughes provides intimate portraits of the people significant to Genentech’s science and business, including cofounders Herbert Boyer and Robert Swanson, and in doing so sheds new light on how personality affects the growth of science. By placing Genentech’s founders, followers, opponents, victims, and beneficiaries in context, Hughes also demonstrates how science interacts with commercial and legal interests and university research, and with government regulation, venture capital, and commercial profits. Integrating the scientific, the corporate, the contextual, and the personal, Genentech tells the story of biotechnology as it is not often told, as a risky and improbable entrepreneurial venture that had to overcome a number of powerful forces working against it.
