1969 stood as the final year of a tumultuous decade, shattering domestic tranquility with epic events and cultural upheaval. 
In January, The Beatles gave their final public performance on the rooftop of Apple Corps in London. In July, NASA’s Apollo 11 space mission launched Buzz Aldrin and Neil Armstrong beyond earth’s gravitational grip to a successful moon landing, fulfilling President John Kennedy’s inaugural pledge “to go to the moon in this decade.” In August, Woodstock attracted over 400,000 rock ‘n’ roll fans, hippies, peaceniks, and sixties’ music icons to a four-day countercultural gathering. Joni Mitchell described the music and art fair as “a spark of beauty” where half-a-million young people “saw that they were part of a greater organism.” The Moratorium to End the War in Vietnam, in October, was the largest peaceful protest of a war in American history, flooding the nation’s capital and including more than 2,000,000 antiwar protesters nationwide. As the decade closed, the war raged on. Just months into the following year, the Kent State shootings shook the nation, bringing violent suppression of free expression to a U.S. college campus. On the fiftieth anniversary of 1969, seven professional writers join author Brent Green to share their coming-of-age experiences and vivid memories of that raucous, electrifying year. Are You Still Listening? delivers eyewitness accounts, personal tales, uncommon confessions, and fictional stories by eight witnesses to a transformative decade. 
One question resonates throughout this book: Are you still listening? The book inspires contemplation about our social and political progress fifty years later. Do we see greater national unity? Do we hear lingering discord? Do we sense progress toward equal treatment and opportunity for all? 
For those who experienced 1969 firsthand, this book will stir memories and invite reflection about a momentous year. For those who were born later and are curious about the myths and realities of 1969, the book reveals truths concerning a rebellious time and an engaged generation that proclaimed a new vision for America.

Taking the 100 most frequently asked questions from audience members at her corporate lectures, business executive Carol Orsborn offers solutions that are refreshingly original yet are based on the I Ching, the three-thousand-year-old work of wisdom that inspired Confucius. In her book, Carol Orsborn reveals how these ancient principles can be remarkably relevant for handling the situations we all face in today's challenging workplace. Covering the corporate ladder from bottom to top, Orsborn's advice will take readers from the day they land that first job through decisions related to when and how to retire. Tough Business Problems include #5 "I was the best qualified for the promotion - but the offer went to someone else. Should I fight it?"; #10 "I love my job but I hate my boss. What can I do?"; #30 "My secretary is hopeless - and he's the boss's nephew. I can't trust myself to hold my tongue any longer; what should I do?"; #87 "I've got a report due tomorrow. To finish it on time, I'll have to miss my child's third-grade play. What should I do?" and, of course #1 "How would Confucius ask for a raise?" Orsborn's easy-to-read, humorous, and uplifting style touches every reader personally, whether you're an overworked executive who can't slow down or a frustrated entry-level worker who can't seem to jump-start your career. Tackling the range of problems from the mundane to the morally trying, How Would Confucius Ask for a Raise? will transform your approach to your career - and your life - with its honesty, its freshness, and its hope.
