The Number $11.99 Do you know your Number? What happens if you don’t make it to your Number? Do you have a plan? The often-avoided, anxiety-riddled discussion about financial planning for a secure and fulfilling future has been given a new starting point in The Number by Lee Eisenberg. The buzz of professionals and financial industry insiders everywhere, the Number represents the amount of money and resources people will need to enjoy the active life they desire, especially post-career. Backed by imaginative reporting and insights, Eisenberg urges people to assume control and responsibility for their standard of living, and take greater aim on their long-term aspirations. In 1999, Eisenberg was in the midst of downshifting from having served as the Editor-in-Chief of Esquire and other high profile positions. He was “half-in, half-out of the workplace” with an enviable consulting position at Time, Inc., and a family comfortably settled in the suburbs. That’s when he received an unexpected offer from the Wisconsin-based Lands’ End which, in the end, he couldn’t resist. It meant uprooting his family and moving to the rural heartland, and taking on the challenges of an entirely new way of life. Before the move, he admits, “I was worried about the Number.” Once in Wisconsin, Eisenberg confesses that the “Number was leading us around by our noses.” From Wall Street to Main Street USA, The Number means different things to different people. It is constantly fluctuating in people’s minds and bank accounts. To some, the Number symbolizes freedom, validation of career success, the ticket to luxurious indulgences and spiritual exploration; to others, it represents the bewildering and nonsensical nightmare of an impoverished existence creeping up on them in their old age, a seemingly hopeless inevitability that they would rather simply ignore than confront. People are highly private and closed-mouthed when it comes to discussing their Numbers, or lack thereof, for fear they might either reveal too much or display ineptitude. In The Number, Eisenberg describes this secret anxiety as the “Last Taboo,” a conundrum snared in confusing financial lingo. He sorts through the fancy jargon and translates the Number into commonsense advice that resonates just as easily with the aging gods and goddesses of corporate boardrooms as it does with ordinary people who are beginning to realize that retirement is now just a couple of decades away. Believing that the Number is as much about self-worth as it is net worth, Eisenberg strives to help readers better understand and more efficiently manage all aspects of their life, money, and pursuit of happiness. * According to Eisenberg, “Number chasers” fall into four personality types: –”Procrastinators” enter their forties and fifties ensconced in a cloud of avoidance and denial about the years ahead of them, or simply do not understand investing in their futures. –”Pluckers” often lazily |

”A mighty fortress” far from Lake Wobegon: The music of Minnesota’s newest Lutherans. $49.99 While participation in religion is most often perceived to be a conscious choice made without direct connections to race or ethnicity on the part of an individual, it is also apparent that religion never functions outside of both its ethno-cultural context and its ethno-cultural history, and for a large proportion of Lutheran history, this context has been overwhelmingly European and European-American. However, Christianity has become increasingly global within the last century: Latin Americans, Africans, and Asians breathe new life into a once-European and North American theological tradition. Minnesota, considered the most significant hub of Lutheranism, has concurrently become more global. From 1990–2000, the number of foreign-born residents increased by 130 percent.1 Moreover, the way people migrate has changed considerably. While European immigration in the 1900s was long, hard, and permanent, advances in travel and communication technology have made migration a more fluid journey allowing for increased communication between old world(s) and new. This situation raises a number of questions regarding depictions of Minnesota as a haven for Scandinavian, homogeneous, and inflexible Lutherans.;Worship music presents a salient religious medium capable of enabling a vivid redefinition of Minnesotan Lutheranism. How do Cambodians, who have no musical ensemble that remotely resembles a choir in their homeland, create Lutheran worship music in the Twin Cities? Why have Sudanese Lutherans, whose main source of musical inspiration is the reception of songs in dreams, stopped receiving songs in their dreams upon their arrival in the US? As a church’s most audible display of faith and most contested realm of worship, the negotiations involved in the creation of Lutheran worship music illuminate the issues at the heart of the Lutheran church today.;1Bruce Katz, “Census 2000: Key Trends and Implications for Cities,” Brookings Institution, Center for Urban and Metropolitan |
