Download or read book Secret Formula written by Frederick Allen and published by Open Road Media. This book was released on 2015-10-27 with total page 587 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A "highly entertaining history [of] global hustling, cola wars and the marketing savvy that carved a niche for Coke in the American social psyche” (Publishers Weekly). Secret Formula follows the colorful characters who turned a relic from the patent medicine era into a company worth $80 billion. Award-winning reporter Frederick Allen’s engaging account begins with Asa Candler, a nineteenth-century pharmacist in Atlanta who secured the rights to the original Coca-Cola formula and then struggled to get the cocaine out of the recipe. After many tweaks, he finally succeeded in turning a backroom belly-wash into a thriving enterprise. In 1919, an aggressive banker named Ernest Woodruff leveraged a high-risk buyout of the Candlers and installed his son at the helm of the company. Robert Woodruff spent the next six decades guiding Coca-Cola with a single-minded determination that turned the soft drink into a part of the landscape and social fabric of America. Written with unprecedented access to Coca-Cola’s archives, as well as the inner circle and private papers of Woodruff, Allen’s captivating business biography stands as the definitive account of what it took to build America’s most iconic company and one of the world’s greatest business success stories.

Book Synopsis Mirror, Mirror by : Mark Pendergrast
Download or read book Mirror, Mirror written by Mark Pendergrast and published by Basic Books. This book was released on 2009-04-28 with total page 452 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Of all human inventions, the mirror is perhaps the one most closely connected to our own consciousness. As our first technology for contemplation of the self, the mirror is arguably as important an invention as the wheel. Mirror Mirror is the fascinating story of the mirror's invention, refinement, and use in an astonishing range of human activities -- from the fantastic mirrored rooms that wealthy Romans created for their orgies to the mirror's key role in the use and understanding of light. Pendergrast spins tales of the 2,500year mystery of whether Archimedes and his "burning mirror" really set faraway Roman ships on fire; the medieval Venetian glassmakers, who perfected the technique of making large, flat mirrors from clear glass and for whom any attempt to leave their cloistered island was punishable by death; Isaac Newton, whose experiments with sunlight on mirrors once left him blinded for three days; the artist David Hockney, who holds controversial ideas about Renaissance artists and their use of optical devices; and George Ellery Hale, the manic-depressive astronomer and telescope enthusiast who inspired (and gave his name to) the twentieth century's largest ground-based telescope. Like mirrors themselves, Mirror Mirror is a book of endless wonder and fascination.

Book Synopsis City on the Verge by : Mark Pendergrast
Download or read book City on the Verge written by Mark Pendergrast and published by Basic Books. This book was released on 2017-05-16 with total page 463 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What we can learn from Atlanta's struggle to reinvent itself in the 21st Century Atlanta is on the verge of tremendous rebirth-or inexorable decline. A kind of Petri dish for cities struggling to reinvent themselves, Atlanta has the highest income inequality in the country, gridlocked highways, suburban sprawl, and a history of racial injustice. Yet it is also an energetic, brash young city that prides itself on pragmatic solutions. Today, the most promising catalyst for the city's rebirth is the BeltLine, which the New York Times described as "a staggeringly ambitious engine of urban revitalization." A long-term project that is cutting through forty-five neighborhoods ranging from affluent to impoverished, the BeltLine will complete a twenty-two-mile loop encircling downtown, transforming a massive ring of mostly defunct railways into a series of stunning parks connected by trails and streetcars. Acclaimed author Mark Pendergrast presents a deeply researched, multi-faceted, up-to-the-minute history of the biggest city in America's Southeast, using the BeltLine saga to explore issues of race, education, public health, transportation, business, philanthropy, urban planning, religion, politics, and community. An inspiring narrative of ordinary Americans taking charge of their local communities, City of the Verge provides a model for how cities across the country can reinvent themselves.
Book Synopsis The Most Hated Man in America by : Mark Pendergrast
Download or read book The Most Hated Man in America written by Mark Pendergrast and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Everyone knows the story of Jerry Sandusky, the serial pedophile, the Monster. But what if that story is wrong? What if the former Penn State football coach and founder of the Second Mile is an innocent man convicted in the midst of a moral panic fed by the sensationalistic media, police trawling, and memory-warping psychotherapy? The Most Hated Man in America reads like a true crime psychological thriller and is required reading for everyone from criminologists to sports fans. "If potential readers are convinced that Jerry Sandusky is guilty, they need to read The Most Hated Man in America. This meticulously researched, provocative, and wonderfully written book by Mark Pendergrast, an enormously important contributor to the repressed memory debate, will certainly make them see another side. Maybe they will think twice." -- Elizabeth Loftus, Distinguished Professor of Psychology & Social Behavior, University of California, Irvine, author, The Myth of Repressed Memory and other books. "The Most Hated Man in America tells a truly remarkable story. In all the media coverage the Sandusky case has received, it's amazing that no one else has noticed or written about so many of these things, including all the 'memories' that were retrieved through therapy and litigation. One would think that the sheer insanity of so much of this will have to eventually come out." --Richard A. Leo, Hamill Family Professor of Law and Psychology, University of San Francisco, author, Police Interrogation and American Justice and The Wrong Guys: Murder, False Confessions, and the Norfolk Four "Virtually everybody knows with certainty that Jerry Sandusky is a serial child molester. He was, after all, found guilty by a jury of his peers. But what if what we think we know about Sandusky is at least in some ways incorrect? Regardless of their ultimate conclusions, readers will find The Most Hated Man in America to be thoughtful and provocative, addressing questions that deserve to be asked in a just society." --Fred S. Berlin, M.D., Ph.D. Director, The Johns Hopkins Sexual Behavior Consultation Unit, The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine
Download or read book The Future Testament written by Ahyh and published by . This book was released on 2013-02-01 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Future Testament offers religion beyond beliefs. In the 21st century, we are ready to move into the next stage of religious thought, going beyond arguing about different beliefs and entering the realm of certain knowledge. The challenge of a genuine, aware, religious life is to distinguish eternal truth from the cultural traditions within our religious scriptures and denominations. With eternal truths firmly identified, we can then determine the best way to express those timeless realities today, here and now, within our time, place, language, and culture. The Future Testament wants to help do that. Just like Jesus did not come to abolish the Old Testament but to fulfill it, the Future Testament has not come to abolish the New Testament, but to fulfill it. The Future Testament examines the Old and New Testaments in the light of the 21st century. The world is a very different place than it was thousands of years ago when the scriptures were written and the Earth was flat! We are performing laser eye surgery, manipulating DNA, and discovering new galaxies. The Future Testament is a serious reexamination of the eternal truths and cultural traditions of scripture. Everything is different. Everything. The Old Testament was written on sheepskin. The New Testament was written on papyrus. The Future Testament was written with a word processing program on a personal computer running on electricity. The Future Testament states up front that truth or falsehood can be determined the individual reader alone. True love, the end goal of humanity's pathway, requires each person be endowed with complete freedom, which includes making up your own mind about religion, and in particular the Old, New and Future Testaments. The Future Testament presents new ideas, parables and real hope for today. More, The Future Testament provides a new way of approaching religion. In days of old, people were forced to accept things that could not be explained or justified. The Future Testament is different. Instead of demanding blind allegiance to creeds that cannot be explained (let alone justified), The Future Testament invites you to escape cultural prejudices and think for yourself. The Future Testament honors your mind, your heart, and all the gifts of God that are yours not by cultural, but Divine birthright. Truth is the only religion. Welcome to The Future Testament.
