A world-class marathoner who completed all six of the Abbott World Marathon Majors! Based on Charles Moore's experience running 20+ marathons between 2016-2023, Apropos of Running is at once a celebration of his journey to becoming an ultramarathoner as it is a candid, deeply personal interrogation of how race and culture are intertwined.
The author explores the lack of diversity in marathoning from international races in major cities across Asia, Europe, and the United States, including his native Detroit. He shares with readers his intense path to completing over 20 marathons in a handful of years, including the prestigious Abbott World Marathon Majors-six marathons in Berlin, Boston, Chicago, London, New York, and Tokyo.

As he digs into the behind-the-scenes training that went into each race, he takes us into a whole new dimension with his timely and unforgettable memoir of long-distance running. Moore is among the few to address the Venn diagram of Blackness and long-distance running. Apropos of Running is an essential testament to the persistence and
power of Black marathon runners and how one man transformed his life and the sport of running by showing up time after time and competing at the highest level.

Most nonprofits approach strategic planning in ways that take too much time and effort, focus on the wrong issues, and set up the plan to be something that gathers dust on a shelf rather than being implemented. If you want a different approach, this is the book for you. This book shows nonprofit leaders and organizations how to conduct strategic planning processes that deliver both a great strategy and an organization that can drive strategic change and continually refresh its strategy. It introduces a new framework—Strategic FUEL—and shows leaders how to map their organization’s strategic situation to a planning approach that addresses the most important opportunities and challenges, without wasting time and effort. It also shows the actions leaders can take during strategic planning to increase the odds of successful strategy implementation. The core content of this book was developed while working with nonprofit leaders on strategic planning, so it converts the best research and ideas to practice and step-by-step guidance. This book will be a valuable resource for nonprofit CEOs and their teams, foundations looking to support their nonprofit grantees, and students in nonprofit management courses and programs. While the book is focused on the nonprofit world, the lessons are also applicable to any leader trying to drive strategy effectively.

In June 1983 Margaret Thatcher won the biggest increase in a government's Parliamentary majority in British electoral history. Over the next four years, as Charles Moore relates in this central volume of his uniquely authoritative biography, Britain's first woman prime minister changed the course of her country's history and that of the world, often by sheer force of will. The book reveals as never before how she faced down the Miners' Strike, transformed relations with Europe, privatized the commanding heights of British industry and continued the reinvigoration of the British economy. It describes her role on the world stage with dramatic immediacy, identifying Mikhail Gorbachev as 'a man to do business with' before he became leader of the Soviet Union, and then persistently pushing him and Ronald Reagan, her great ideological soulmate, to order world affairs according to her vision. For the only time since Churchill, she ensured that Britain had a central place in dealings between the superpowers. But even at her zenith she was beset by difficulties. The beloved Reagan two-timed her during the US invasion of Grenada. She lost the minister to whom she was personally closest to scandal and almost had to resign as a result of the Westland affair. She found herself isolated within her own government over Europe. She was at odds with the Queen over the Commonwealth and South Africa. She bullied senior colleagues and she set in motion the poll tax. Both these last would later return to wound her, fatally. In all this, Charles Moore has had unprecedented access to all Mrs Thatcher's private and government papers. The participants in the events described have been so frank in interview that we feel we are eavesdropping on their conversations as they pass. We look over Mrs Thatcher's shoulder as she vigorously annotates documents, so seeing her views on many particular issues in detail, and we understand for the first time how closely she relied on a handful of trusted advisors to help shape her views and carry out her will. We see her as a public performer, an often anxious mother, a workaholic and the first woman in western democratic history who truly came to dominate her country in her time. In the early hours of 12 October 1984, during the Conservative party conference in Brighton, the IRA attempted to assassinate her. She carried on within hours to give her leader's speech at the conference (and later went on to sign the Anglo-Irish agreement). One of her many left-wing critics, watching her that day, said 'I don't approve of her as Prime Minister, but by God she's a great tank commander.' This titanic figure, with all her capacities and all her flaws, storms from these pages as from no other book.

Dengan gaya bercerita yang tak tertandingi dan detil yang dramatis, biografi resmi Margaret Thatcher karya Charles Moore mengungkapkan hal-hal yang belum pernah diungkap sebelumnya tentang masa-masa awal kehidupan, kekuasaan, dan kepemimpinan sebagai perdana menteri dari seorang wanita yang mengubah inggris raya dan dunia di akhir abad keduapuluh. Moore memiliki akses unik ke semua dokumen pribadi dan pemerintahan Margaret Thatcher dan mewawancarainya dan keluarganya dengan leluasa saat menyusun buku ini. Banyak di antara teman baik dan kolega Margaret yang menunjukkan dokumen-dokumen, buku harian, dan surat-surat yang belum pernah dilihat sebelumnya dan berbicara padanya (Moore) dengan terang-terangan, tahu bahwa apa yang mereka ungkapkan tidak akan diterbitkan sampai kematian (Thatcher). Buku ini seketika menggantikan biografi lain dan membuka perspektif baru tentang spektrum kehidupan politik Inggris secara luas dari sejak Margaret Thatcher masuk ke parlemen pada 1959 sampai pada puncak kekuasaannya ? kemenangan di Falkland pada 1982. Di antara fokus buku ini adalah surat-surat istimewa tersembunyi yang ditujukan ke saudara perempuannya, Muriel yang menjelaskan tentang masa mudanya: hubungannya dengan orang tuanya; kecintaannya pada pakaian; romansanya di masa muda; kesan pertamanya terhadap Denis Thatcher; masa pacaran dan pernikahan mereka. Buku ini dengan brilian menggambarkan kemauan dan ketegasannya dari awal karir politiknya. Buku ini memberikan penjelasan lengkap dan menarik saat ia merebut kepemimpinan Tory dari Ted Heath saat tidak ada tokoh senior di partai yang mampu menantangnya. Belum berakhir, buku ini juga menjelaskan saat dua tahun masuk ke pemerintahan, ia dikepung dan hari-harinya dipercaya akan segera berakhir. Juga menjelaskan pengalamannya sebagai wanita di dunia politik yang masih dianggap sebagai dunia lelaki. Charles Moore jelas-jelas mengagumi subjeknya tapi ini tidak membuat buku ini tanpa kritik. Dia menunjukkan apa saja yang mengagumkan tentang Thatcher dan apa yang bisa membuat geram, kekuatannya yang luar biasa dan kadang kerapuhannya yang mengejutkan, jauh lebih meyakinkan dari karya lainnya. Saat ini ketika Margaret Thatcher menjadi tokoh sejarah, biografi karya Moore memberikan penilaian yang mengagumkan bagi subjeknya.[Mizan, Bentang Pustaka, Biografi, Indonesia, Inggris, Wanita]

Margareth Thatcher: Authorized Biography

Not For Turning is the first volume of Charles Moore's authorized biography of Margaret Thatcher, the longest serving Prime Minister of the twentieth century and one of the most influential political figures of the postwar era. Charles Moore's biography of Margaret Thatcher, published after her death on 8 April 2013, immediately supercedes all earlier books written about her. At the moment when she becomes a historical figure, this book also makes her into a three dimensional one for the first time. It gives unparalleled insight into her early life and formation, especially through her extensive correspondence with her sister, which Moore is the first author to draw on. It recreates brilliantly the atmosphere of British politics as she was making her way, and takes her up to what was arguably the zenith of her power, victory in the Falklands. (This volume ends with the Falklands Dinner in Downing Street in November 1982.) Moore is clearly an admirer of his subject, but he does not shy away from criticising her or identifying weaknesses and mistakes where he feels it is justified. Based on unrestricted access to all Lady Thatcher's papers, unpublished interviews with her and all her major colleagues, this is the indispensable, fully rounded portrait of a towering figure of our times.
