No stranger to challenges, physical and otherwise, Tom Mullikin learned while still a toddler that life can be demanding. Blessed with parents who pushed and encouraged him- and accompanied by blazing optimism as his constant companion- Mullikin not only overcame his physical handicap through hard work and perseverance, but went on to serve as a reservist attached to the United States Army Special Operations Command, attain and compete as a Black Belt in martial arts and hike on all seven continents. Much like many of the individuals featured in these pages, Mullikin chose to see potential instead of pitfalls and he encourages us all to do the same. Profiles in Optimism celebrates the remarkable stories of others who have succeeded through the power of unyielding optimism in their pursuit of a lifelong dream. South Africa's Nelson Mandela- whose optimism enabled him to endure 27 years of political imprisonment and triumph as the country's first African president. India's Gandhi-a mild-mannered proponent of peace who possessed the optimism and spiritual energy necessary to lead India toward independence. Belva Lockwood-almost unknown to many Americans- the first woman to campaign for the presidency in 1884 and 1888; the first woman lawyer permitted to practice law before the U.S. Supreme Court. These are the stories -10 in all- portraits of great optimists who, when faced with the most challenging of circumstances, chose to see the hope instead of the despair and became the change they sought for the world.

" Following the Japanese invasion of the islands in 1942, North Luzon was the staging area for several Filipino-American guerrilla bands who sought to gather intelligence and to destroy enemy military installations or supplies. Bernard Norling focuses on the Cagayan-Apayao Forces, or CAF, commanded by Maj. Ralph Praeger. Their bravery was unquestionable, but by September 1943 all but one member of Troop C had been claimed by combat, enemy capture, or disease. The only survivor, Capt. Thomas S. Jones, remembered, ""Defeat is a terrible thing.... It brings down with it the whole structure about which a nation or an army has been built. It subjects men to the most severe of moral tests at a time when they are physically least able to meet them."" Based primarily upon unpublished sources, The Intrepid Guerrillas of North Luzon includes the diary of Praeger's executive officer, Jones, and draws on transcripts of radio communications between Praeger and General MacArthur's headquarters in Australia. The struggles of the men of the CAF tell a harrowing tale of valor, determination, and occasional successes mixed with the wildcat schemes, rivalries, mistrust, and betrayals that characterized the intramural relations of guerrilla forces all over the Pacific islands.

In this work, Neera K. Badhwar offers a new argument for the ancient claim that well-being as the highest prudential good - eudaimonia - consists of happiness in a virtuous life. Virtue is a source of happiness, but happiness also requires external goods. The argument takes into account recent work on happiness, well-being, and virtue, and defends a neo-Aristotelian conception of virtue as an integrated, but limited, intellectual-emotional-action disposition.

Sing, and Don't Cry is Cate Kennedy's sensual and touching evocation of her time spent working as a volunteer in small town Mexico. The people she comes to love in Tequisquiapan, and their gusto for celebration, pilgrimage and family, force her to cast a penetrating light on her own Western values and ways. ?What is truly essential, and who is truly poor?' asks Kennedy in a book that also challenges the reader to care more for his or her world. Described as ?a travel book with a social conscience' this essential memoir, from the award'winning fiction writer and poet, is funny, warm, yet ultimately disarming.
