The 19 outstanding contemporary Hoosier women profiled by Michael S. Maurer—one for each star in the Indiana state flag—are leaders and pioneers who have excelled in a variety of pursuits, including law, business, philanthropy, government, medicine, music, art, athletics, religion, and education. Among the inspiring life stories are those of the first woman named chief judge of the U.S. District Court in Indiana, the first to establish a Holocaust museum in the state, and the first woman elected Indiana's lieutenant governor. Maurer also introduces international golf and billiards champions, opera singers, a rabbi, the founders of Vera Bradley Designs and For Bare Feet, and others. Many of these women led heart-pounding lives. All worked hard, and with zeal, to achieve their dreams. Indiana women of every generation will enjoy and appreciate their stories.

In his book, Maurer concentrates his artistry on the smallest creatures that inhabit the reef. Don’t expect photographs of sharks, turtles, stingrays, and other large animals that roam the deep. Nature is especially kind to these animals whose bodies are resplendent with vibrant color balanced by nuanced hues. The vast majority of scuba divers are oblivious to the opportunity to observe this wonder.

My business life is characterized by start-ups and turn-arounds, endeavors for which I, along with many others of my era, was ill-prepared.Mistakes were made - lessons learned - lessons I never learned in school.Blunders should be expected and then milked for all the lessons they can provide. The best entrepreneurs see dumb moments as inevitable and as an exciting aspect of the wonderful game we play called business.From my mistakes, I developed principles that when properly considered and applied will protect you from foolish propensities, guide you to create the proper business relationships that make success a higher probability and prompt you to practice entrepreneurism at a lofty level.IT is my hope that this treatise will provide entrepreneurs with savvy, street smarts - and wisdom.
