Emory University President Emeritus James W. Wagner collects eighteen speeches and essays that set out his view of liberal arts education and his perception of the university campus as a place where passionately opposed points of view can be discussed and debated productively, resulting in greater self-understanding and a positive impact on society.

A foreword by former U.S. President (and University Distinguished Professor) Jimmy Carter notes a shared interest between himself and President Wagner in international health, leading to Emory's formation of the Institute for Developing Nations and the Emory Global Health Institute. Carter adds that Wagner 'committed himself to building an academic community that met and resolved the most challenging issues. I especially appreciated his support of what he calls 'impossible conversations' conversations that people typically avoid because of the discomfort they bring. I agree that a great university must be engaged in fostering and, indeed, requiring such conversations. With these and other insights, Jim provides us much to consider.'

Pretty but leather is mildewed.
I read the reviews but took a chance that the one I received would not smell mildewed. Oh my!! It stinks to high heaven!!! And it is too small for my wrist…another chance I took. Instead of returning it, I’m going to try and replicate it using the watch and dangles with ribbon and cords. It was wrapped very tightly in bubble wrap. Perhaps the leather would not have mildewed if it had been able to breathe. Boy! Does it stink!!!!!

Snap closure watch.
Not the best quality or materials but remember, it’s extremely inexpensive.

Nice accessory for anyone to wear, goes well with any style
Durable material makes it easy to slip onto any wrist (plus, adjustable strap, so there's that too). The fact that the watch actually WORKS is an added point, considering most of these out there have the clock as a graphical enhancement rather than an actual working point to the piece. The title of the item says for girls, but whoever you are out there, wear it despite what it says. These sorts of accessories are multi-person usage. It looks cool with any outfit design, too.

Cute! Poor battery.
This is super super cute. I love the layered bangle look and the hanging charm and the dainty little watchface. It's very comfortable to wear. I knock it down a star because the battery it came with only lasted 3 months - I know it was an inexpensive watch, but I was disappointed with the battery life.

Cute, but too small
It's cute, but kinda cheaply made, and it doesn't fit my wrists. So, I gave them to my niece. She loves them. (This one and a similar one that I bought)
