Descripción Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. For forty years Bob Dotson has been crisscrossing the country--and logging more than four million miles--in search of people who have quietly changed our lives but remained out of the public eye. These are people with thoughtful solutions to problems we all face, incredible ideas that work, a blueprint for our own dreams and a way to make America better. This country survives and thrives because of all those names we don't know, ordinary people who live life with passion, who succeed not just on talent and hard work, but curiosity and imagination- The truck driver who taught microsurgery.The fourteen year old who invented television.Four brothers who searched for sixty years until they found what the Navy could not their father's lost submarine.The boss who came out of retirement to start a new company for his former employees who could not find work.The band director who turned his back on celebrity to save lives in a tough neighborhood.The man who used his lottery winnings to send all the kids in his neighborhood to college.Most of what we read today tells us about our frustrations--the widening gap between the haves and the have-nots, middle class jobs moving to China and India, hate-filled politics that prefers gridlock to compromise. What we know about America mostly comes from journalists who travel in herds, trailing politicians or camped out at big stories, reporting on the same problms and rehashing them ad nauseum. They offer up celebrity experts for solutions, the people who spend their busy days spouting opinions to cameras, while others in the shadows quietly make America work. This book shines a light on those neglected corners, revealing answers that others rush past, introducing readers to the ordinary Americans who, in their collective wisdom, have learned to fix what matters."These are remarkable and poignant stories that need to be told." -Ken BurnsMore than six million people watch Bob Dotson's Emmy award-winning segment, American Story, on NBC's Today Show. For the last four decades, Dotson has traveled the country searching out inspiring individuals who quietly perform everyday miracles. In the process, he has become the treasured cartographer of America's heart and soul.Today's news is overwhelmingly grim; it's also told by journalists who travel in herds as they trail politicians and camp out at big stories. In American Story, Dotson shines a light on America's neglected corners, introducing readers to the ordinary Americans who have learned to fix what really matters.
