He endures January's frosty mistral as it comes howling down the Rhône Valley, discovers the secrets of goat racing through the middle of town, and delights in the glorious regional cuisine. A Year in Provence transports us into all the earthy pleasures of Provençal life and lets us live vicariously at a tempo governed by seasons, not by days.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e____\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eFor a brief description of book conditions, please visit \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/oddbirdbookshop.com\/pages\/condition-faqs\" title=\"Condition FAQs\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eCondition FAQs\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eIf you have specific questions about a book, please \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/oddbirdbookshop.com\/pages\/contact\" title=\"Contact\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eContact Us\u003c\/a\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/oddbirdbookshop.com\/pages\/contact\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Odd Bird Bookshop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48155985543451,"sku":"OBB9780679731146","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0860\/9048\/1947\/files\/9780679731146_AyearinProvence.jpg?v=1712099066"},{"product_id":"where-have-all-the-leaders-gone","title":"Where Have All the Leaders Gone?","description":"\u003cul class=\"ul1\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li1\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003eCondition: Very Good, Used.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li1\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eAuthor(s): Lee Iacocca, Catherine Whitney. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe late, legendary auto executive Lee Iacocca has posed a question for every American: Where have all the leaders gone?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe most widely recognized business executive of all time asked the tough questions that America's leaders must address:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• What is each of us giving back to our country?\u003cbr\u003e• Do we truly love democracy?\u003cbr\u003e• Are we too fat and satisfied for our own good?\u003cbr\u003e• Why is America addicted to oil?\u003cbr\u003e• Do we really care about our children's futures?\u003cbr\u003e• Who will save the middle class?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA self-made man who many Americans once wished would run for president, Iacocca saved the Chrysler Corporation from financial ruin, masterminded the creation of the minivan, and oversaw the renovation of Ellis Island. Iacocca believed that leaders are made in times of crisis—such as today.

We learn what he discussed with Warren Buffett, DaimlerChrysler CEO Dieter Zetsche, Ronald Reagan, Senator John Kerry, Congressman John Murtha, Prince Charles and Camilla, former Saudi ambassador Prince Bandar, rapper Snoop Dogg, financier Kirk Kerkorian, Ted Turner, Bob Dole, and many more.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKnowing that the times are urgent, the iconic leader shares his lessons learned and issues a call to action to summon Americans back to their roots of hard work, common sense, integrity, generosity, and optimism.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhere have all the leaders gone?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLee Iacocca has the answer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e____\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eFor a brief description of book conditions, please visit \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/oddbirdbookshop.com\/pages\/condition-faqs\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eCondition FAQs\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eIf you have specific questions about a book, please \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/oddbirdbookshop.com\/pages\/contact\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eContact Us\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Odd Bird Bookshop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49748586758427,"sku":"OBB9781416532491","price":6.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0860\/9048\/1947\/files\/9781416532491.jpg?v=1733956300"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0860\/9048\/1947\/collections\/Biographies_Memoirs_a6e419f8-a673-4a7c-9fb0-c61dec49a66a.png?v=1781814352","url":"https:\/\/oddbirdbookshop.com\/collections\/used-biographies-memoirs.oembed","provider":"Odd Bird Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
