Book excerpt: From the author of The Outsiders: “Immediate and gripping” tales of two boys whose lives diverge in dramatic ways after a shared childhood tragedy (School Library Journal). Terry and Mike were cousins who were as close as cousins could be—more like twin brothers, really. They thought they were invincible and that the happy times would last forever, until the day their fathers headed off for their annual deer-hunting trip. That was when everything started to change, and their paths went in very different directions. Years later, another fateful event will send one of them to prison—and the other to a bartending job in Oklahoma—while the prospect of an eventual reunion looms . . . From the award-winning author of That Was Then, This Is Now and Rumble Fish, “Some of Tim’s Stories is a compact set of vignettes” full of “sharp, concise observation” (The New York Times).

Book Synopsis Tales from Under the Rim by : Ron Buist
Download or read book Tales from Under the Rim written by Ron Buist and published by Fredericton, N.B. : Goose Lane. This book was released on 2003 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Want to know the secret recipe behind Canada's most popular coffee-and-donut chain? According to former marketing director RON BUIST, it tool 1 hockey player, 1 favourite barber shop, 1 former drummer, 1 police officer, plus the luck hard work brings to make Tim Hortons the phenomenal success it is today. In Tales from Under the Rim, the marketing genius who invented Roll Up the Rim to Win tells how a little donut shop grew into a Canadian institution. Beginning with his first day on the job, Buist recalls the lean years, when the company's tiny advertising budget made a creative, grass-roots strategy as much a necessity as an inspiration. He profiles the founders--Toronto Maple Leafs star defenseman Tim Horton, donut entrepreneur Jim Charade, and Nova Scotia-born franchise wizard Ron Joyce--as well as many of the franchisees on whom the chain's success rests. This engrossing business memoir tells the whole story of Roll Up the Rim, from the eureka moment in 1986 to the no-frills contest's status as a defining feature of Canadian life. Buist describes the genesis of the True Stories commercials, so engaging they've attracted their won devoted fans, and he tells humorous behind-the-scenes tales from these and other TV shoots.

Book Synopsis What I Learned Losing a Million Dollars by : Jim Paul
Download or read book What I Learned Losing a Million Dollars written by Jim Paul and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2013-05-21 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jim Paul's meteoric rise took him from a small town in Northern Kentucky to governor of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, yet he lost it all--his fortune, his reputation, and his job--in one fatal attack of excessive economic hubris. In this honest, frank analysis, Paul and Brendan Moynihan revisit the events that led to Paul's disastrous decision and examine the psychological factors behind bad financial practices in several economic sectors. This book--winner of a 2014 Axiom Business Book award gold medal--begins with the unbroken string of successes that helped Paul achieve a jet-setting lifestyle and land a key spot with the Chicago Mercantile Exchange. It then describes the circumstances leading up to Paul's $1.6 million loss and the essential lessons he learned from it--primarily that, although there are as many ways to make money in the markets as there are people participating in them, all losses come from the same few sources. Investors lose money in the markets either because of errors in their analysis or because of psychological barriers preventing the application of analysis. While all analytical methods have some validity and make allowances for instances in which they do not work, psychological factors can keep an investor in a losing position, causing him to abandon one method for another in order to rationalize the decisions already made. Paul and Moynihan's cautionary tale includes strategies for avoiding loss tied to a simple framework for understanding, accepting, and dodging the dangers of investing, trading, and speculating.
