Book Synopsis That's True of Everybody by : Mark Winegardner
Download or read book That's True of Everybody written by Mark Winegardner and published by Mariner Books. This book was released on 2004 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The proprietor of a bowling alley whose artist daughter paints only phalluses. A ninth-grade girl who marries in haste only to be faced with her husband's impotence. A libidinous poet who learns the meaning of harassment. The life and loves of a professional lawn-mower. These are just a few of the distinctive stories that make up Mark Winegardner's remarkable debut short-story collection. Winegardner, whose rich and epic novel Crooked River Burning gave the much-maligned city of Cleveland a fresh and vibrant aspect, now returns to the Midwest that he knows so intimately and casts a piercingly compassionate eye on its denizens. The result is a kaleidoscopic picture of a people who are arrogant and humble, faithful and disloyal, driven and floundering-a people who are finally, America itself.

Evelyn has long felt like an outsider to her privileged peers, but when she lands a job at a social-network startup aimed at the elite, she has no choice but to infiltrate their world. Soon she finds herself navigating the promised land of Adirondack camps, Hamptons beach houses, and, of course, the island of Manhattan itself. Intoxicated by the wealth, access, and influence of her new set, Evelyn can’t help but try to pass as old money herself. But when the lies become more tangled, she grasps with increasing desperation as the ground beneath her begins to give way.

Book Synopsis Creativity, Inc. (The Expanded Edition) by : Ed Catmull
Download or read book Creativity, Inc. (The Expanded Edition) written by Ed Catmull and published by Random House. This book was released on 2014-04-08 with total page 367 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The co-founder and longtime president of Pixar updates and expands his 2014 New York Times bestseller on creative leadership, reflecting on the management principles that built Pixar’s singularly successful culture, and on all he learned during the past nine years that allowed Pixar to retain its creative culture while continuing to evolve. “Might be the most thoughtful management book ever.”—Fast Company For nearly thirty years, Pixar has dominated the world of animation, producing such beloved films as the Toy Story trilogy, Finding Nemo, The Incredibles, Up, and WALL-E, which have gone on to set box-office records and garner eighteen Academy Awards. The joyous storytelling, the inventive plots, the emotional authenticity: In some ways, Pixar movies are an object lesson in what creativity really is. Here, Catmull reveals the ideals and techniques that have made Pixar so widely admired—and so profitable. As a young man, Ed Catmull had a dream: to make the first computer-animated movie. He nurtured that dream as a Ph.D. student, and then forged a partnership with George Lucas that led, indirectly, to his founding Pixar with Steve Jobs and John Lasseter in 1986. Nine years later, Toy Story was released, changing animation forever. The essential ingredient in that movie’s success—and in the twenty-five movies that followed—was the unique environment that Catmull and his colleagues built at Pixar, based on philosophies that protect the creative process and defy convention, such as: • Give a good idea to a mediocre team and they will screw it up. But give a mediocre idea to a great team and they will either fix it or come up with something better. • It’s not the manager’s job to prevent risks. It’s the manager’s job to make it safe for others to take them. • The cost of preventing errors is often far greater than the cost of fixing them. • A company’s communication structure should not mirror its organizational structure. Everybody should be able to talk to anybody. Creativity, Inc. has been significantly expanded to illuminate the continuing development of the unique culture at Pixar. It features a new introduction, two entirely new chapters, four new chapter postscripts, and changes and updates throughout. Pursuing excellence isn’t a one-off assignment but an ongoing, day-in, day-out, full-time job. And Creativity, Inc. explores how it is done.

Book Synopsis Anyone That Works for a Living and Votes Republican Is an Idiot by : Clyde Coughenour
Download or read book Anyone That Works for a Living and Votes Republican Is an Idiot written by Clyde Coughenour and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2010-09-16 with total page 603 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Anyone Th at Works for a Living and Votes Republican Is an Idiot provides an overview of the political plight of the U.S. worker, primarily over the last century. It is intended for those citizens of the United States who work for a living in times of peace and war and who wear a uniform and bear arms to support the nations war efforts in times of peace and distress. The worker has little or no power individually. Because so much time must be spent earning a living and trying to survive, there is little time for investigating the big picture when it is so obscured by the media, charades, and the truth of the claims, counterclaims and professionally drafted hype disseminated during political and policy campaigns. One of the only powers remaining for workers is collective action through organizations such as unions or their own political party or their votes at the polls. Discover how the capitalist pigs and their PPP (Pig Party Prostitutes) took over the U.S. for the benefi t of the small, wealthy, worldwide aristocracy. We need a progressive workers party to salvage or restore an independent, viable American democracy and establish the middle class for We the People as intended.

Book Synopsis Why Would Anyone Do That? by : Stephen C. Poulson
Download or read book Why Would Anyone Do That? written by Stephen C. Poulson and published by Rutgers University Press. This book was released on 2016-04-19 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Triathlons, such as the famously arduous Ironman Triathlon, and “extreme” mountain biking—hair-raising events held over exceedingly dangerous terrain—are prime examples of the new “lifestyle sports” that have grown in recent years from oddball pursuits, practiced by a handful of characters, into multi-million-dollar industries. In Why Would Anyone Do That? sociologist Stephen C. Poulson offers a fascinating exploration of these new and physically demanding sports, shedding light on why some people find them so compelling. Drawing on interviews with lifestyle sport competitors, on his own experience as a participant, on advertising for lifestyle sport equipment, and on editorial content of adventure sport magazines, Poulson addresses a wide range of issues. He notes that these sports are often described as “authentic” challenges which help keep athletes sane given the demands they confront in their day-to-day lives. But is it really beneficial to “work” so hard at “play?” Is the discipline required to do these sports really an expression of freedom, or do these sports actually impose extraordinary degrees of conformity upon these athletes? Why Would Anyone Do That? grapples with these questions, and more generally with whether lifestyle sport should always be considered “good” for people. Poulson also looks at what happens when a sport becomes a commodity—even a sport that may have begun as a reaction against corporate and professional sport—arguing that commodification inevitably plays a role in determining who plays, and also how and why the sport is played. It can even help provide the meaning that athletes assign to their participation in the sport. Finally, the book explores the intersections of race, class, and gender with respect to participation in lifestyle and endurance sports, noting in particular that there is a near complete absence of people of color in most of these contests. In addition, Poulson examines how concepts of masculinity in triathlons have changed as women’s roles in this sport increase.
Book Synopsis Evolution That Anyone Can Understand by : Bernard Marcus
Download or read book Evolution That Anyone Can Understand written by Bernard Marcus and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2011-11-06 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The function of scientific research is promoting the understanding of the world around us. In theory, anyway, the more we learn, the more potential we have of making our lives better. Thus, we have seen research in electronics provide us with computers, research in chemistry provide us with all manner of synthetics, and research in agriculture provide us with more food. Periodically, scientific research uncovers something that makes some of us uncomfortable. The discovery of the link between smoking and lung cancer and heart disease was not received well by the tobacco industry, and the link between global climate change and fossil fuel use has not been well received by the petroleum industry, to cite just two examples. Usually the response of those whose world has been disrupted by science is denial, often followed by attack on or ridicule of the science that has challenged them. In the long term, however, science usually turns out to be correct.

This book was released on 2011-12-31 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Addiction is perhaps one of the most emotionally painful issues we can observe in someone we love. Because of the complex emotional nature of the problem it is without question one of the most confusing human health issues we have ever faced as a society. Addiction often leaves loved ones worried, tortured and full of guilt. Addictive disease creates excessive levels of fear, stress and anxiety. It leaves family members living in a toxic state of fear for what the future might bring, as well as overwhelming physical and emotional exhaustion resulting from worry and blame. For those who love the addicted many crucial questions have remained unanswered for far too long. “Why They Use” bridges the information gaps for loved ones in very simplified and understandable terms. No longer are the loved ones of alcoholics and addicts left alone in fear. I understand your suffering because I have experienced it too! I wrote this book for you.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The shocking murder that exposed a devoted husband as a cold-hearted killer. Inside a beautiful house in Philadelphia's ritzy Main Line section lay the body of a young mother—dead of an apparent drowning in her bathtub. With no sign of a break-in, no history of marital problems, and the naïve belief that these things sometimes just happen, Stefanie Rabinowitz's family prepared to bury the twenty-nine-year-old wife and mother. But at the eleventh hour, because Stefanie was so young, and because there were no witnesses to her death, an autopsy was ordered. What it revealed was unthinkable: Stefanie had been murdered, strangled in her home then dragged into the tub to stage a fake drowning. Even more shocking was the suspected killer, Stefanie's husband, Craig: devoted family man, loyal husband, and "everybody's best friend." When the astounding truth began to emerge, so did the tawdry double life of Craig Rabinowitz, a man so obsessed with a two-thousand-dollar-a-week exotic dancer, that his habit caused him to look to the insurance money he would get from murdering his wife. Now, with exclusive interviews and startling inside details, bestselling author Ken Englade blows wide open the shocking true account of a storybook marriage that ended in bone-chilling murder.
