If you had the resources to accomplish something great in the
world, what would you do?
Legendary investor Warren Buffett posed this challenge to his
son in 2006, when he announced he was leaving the bulk of his
fortune to philanthropy. So, Howard G. Buffett set out to help the
most vulnerable people on Earth nearly a billion individuals who
lack basic food security. And Howard has given himself a deadline:
forty years to put more than $3 billion to work on this
challenge.
Each of us has about forty chances to accomplish our goals in
life. Howard learned this lesson through his passion for farming:
all farmers can expect to have about forty growing seasons, giving
them just forty chances to improve on every harvest. This lesson
applies to all of us, however, because we all have about forty
productive years to do the best job we can, whatever our passions
may be.
"Forty Chances: Finding Hope in a Hungry World" is a book that
captures Howard s journey. We join him around the world as he seeks
out new approaches to ease the suffering of so many. It is told in
a unique format: forty stories that will provide readers a
compelling look at Howard s lessons learned, ranging from his own
backyard to some of the most difficult and dangerous places on
Earth.

What political panics from the Salem witch trials to the Tea
Party can tell us about our modern society
In "American Panic," " New York Times "bestselling author Mark
Stein traces the history and consequences of American political
panics through the years. Virtually every American, on one level or
another, falls victim to the hype, intensity, and propaganda that
accompany political panic, regardless of their own personal
affiliations. By highlighting the similarities between American
political panics from the Salem witch hunt to present-day vehemence
over issues such as Latino immigration, gay marriage, and the
construction of mosques, Stein closely examines just what it is
that causes us as a nation to overreact in the face of widespread
and potentially profound change. This book also devotes chapters to
African Americans, Native Americans, Catholics, Mormons, Jews,
Chinese and Japanese peoples, communists, capitalists, women, and a
highly turbulent but largely forgotten panic over freemasons.
Striking similarities in these diverse episodes are revealed in
primary documents Stein has unearthed, in which statements from the
past could easily be mistaken for statements today. As these
similarities come to light, Stein reveals why some people become
panicked over particular issues when others do not."
