I'm fine ...and other lies
\"Here are all the stories and mistakes I've made that were way too embarrassing to tell on stage in front of an actual audience--but thanks to not-so-modern technology, you can read about them here so I don't have to risk having your judgmental eye contact crush my self-esteem. This book contains some delicious schadenfreude in which I recall such humiliating debacles as breaking my shoulder while trying to impress a guy, coming very close to spending my life in a Guatemalan prison, and having my lacerated ear sewn back on by a deaf guy after losing it in a torrid love affair\"--Amazon.com.

Becoming a dangerous woman : embracing risk to change the world
\"Pat Mitchell is a serial ceiling smasher. A former news reporter and news anchor, she was the first woman to host a nationally syndicated daily talk show, the first woman president of Turner Broadcasting, the first woman president of PBS and of CNN Productions. She has been on Variety's list of \"Most Powerful Women in Hollywood\" and Forbes' list of \"Women Changing the World.\" Today, she is the curator of the groundbreaking global TEDWomen conference. Pat Mitchell is seventy-four years old, and she is a dangerous woman. What makes Mitchell dangerous is her lifelong insistence on redefining power on her terms, and in leveraging that power to manifest her vision of a better world. In Becoming a Dangerous Woman, she shares her intimate stories of taking a hammer to all that glass, and offers mentoring to women who want to manifest their own personal or public uprisings. A media matriarch and visionary leader, Mitchell is ready to bestow all that she knows, and the lessons she's learned the hard way, to make it easier for the generations following her. Not only does she share her experiences--the private struggles and the public battles--she offers readers personal stories from other world-changing women who have faced dangerous times by becoming dangerous women. From Abigail Disney, who is shaking up Hollywood to fund women-headed movies, to Rada Boric, who is poised to become the next president of Croatia, Mitchell invites readers to join the dangerous, disruptive women around the world--women who are creating a more just and liberated life for everyone\"-- Provided by publisher.

Arts & Humanities
At the heart of this comprehensively researched and detailed book is the fully documented nuts-and-bolts story of the evolution, production, and post-production history of the 1979 cult-classic film Rock 'N' Roll High School. The pursuit of the band, the hijinks that ensued during their two-week stay at LA's Tropicana, difficulties experienced throughout filming, and the incessant touring before, during, and after the film provide one classic anecdotal story after another. Novelist and Pulitzer Prize—winning feature writer Jackson (Survival Math: Notes on an All-American Family) celebrates the legacies and individual personalities of these elite athletes—Wilt Chamberlain, LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, and many more—while illustrating how they were influenced by and also affected cultural history throughout the decades.
