Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On January 12, 2010, the deadliest earthquake in the history of the Western Hemisphere struck the nation least prepared to handle it. Jonathan M. Katz, the only full-time American news correspondent in Haiti, was inside his house when it buckled along with hundreds of thousands of others. In this visceral, authoritative first-hand account, Katz chronicles the terror of that day, the devastation visited on ordinary Haitians, and how the world reacted to a nation in need. More than half of American adults gave money for Haiti, part of a monumental response totaling $16.3 billion in pledges. But three years later the relief effort has foundered. It's most basic promises—to build safer housing for the homeless, alleviate severe poverty, and strengthen Haiti to face future disasters—remain unfulfilled. The Big Truck That Went By presents a sharp critique of international aid that defies today's conventional wisdom; that the way wealthy countries give aid makes poor countries seem irredeemably hopeless, while trapping millions in cycles of privation and catastrophe. Katz follows the money to uncover startling truths about how good intentions go wrong, and what can be done to make aid "smarter." With coverage of Bill Clinton, who came to help lead the reconstruction; movie-star aid worker Sean Penn; Wyclef Jean; Haiti's leaders and people alike, Katz weaves a complex, darkly funny, and unexpected portrait of one of the world's most fascinating countries. The Big Truck That Went By is not only a definitive account of Haiti's earthquake, but of the world we live in today.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What do invisible rats, aspiring rapists, axe-wielding gorillas, coffee shop ninjas and clown-faced kidnappers all have in common? They’re just some of the shady miscreants and dubious heroes who populate the pages of the twisted tales making up Dave Lauby’s rollicking short fiction collection The Big Day (and other stories). From the wimpy 13-year-old boy spurred on to criminal acts by his best friend from a Bizarro universe to the arctic survivalist whose sense of day and night (and pain and pleasure) become snow blinded and indistinguishable, the characters of Lauby’s nine exuberant narratives pinball-collide themselves against tragedy and comedy and all the emotional bumpers in-between. Weaving in and out through a maze of twisting turns, unexpected jolts and surprise endings, TBD(aos) provides the reader with a well-balanced and intellectually nutritious nine-course story meal while tasting every bit like dessert with every bite. It’s a guarantee that you’ll want to come back for seconds.

This book was released on 2023-04-20 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A New Jersey guy named Bruce captures the real New Jersey with music and lyrics. Some guy from Paterson, New Jersey named Paul captures the real New Jersey in books, stories, and words! Here it is! The original, cult classic that began a nostalgic revolution and first introduced the characters of Harry M. Redmond Jr. and his faithful friend, Paul John Henson to the world. The Time Bomb in The Cupboard, and Other Adventures of Harry and Paul is the first book in the adventure series and it is a compilation of three stories, which detail the special friendship of two boyhood friends growing up in the 1970s in and around Paterson in northern New Jersey. In the year 2009, the author took a part-time job writing music reviews for a progressive rock website, and that gig caused the writing bug to bite the author once more. He recalled old stories, written when he was only sixteen years of age and submitted by a high school teacher to a publication for young writers and to the author’s astonishment, they were published and he received a royalty check for fifty dollars! After some digging around in a dusty box, the author found the original manuscripts, and he dusted them off. Those stories became the nucleus for the anthology now known as The Time Bomb in The Cupboard and Other Adventures of Harry and Paul. This book contains the original versions of the three classic stories, with minimum editing and processing in order to capture the genuine spirit and authentic style of how the author wrote them originally. The Time Bomb in The Cupboard is a story nestled within the Christmas season. When the fun-loving and jovial Ronnie “Ronzo” Boatmann concocts an extra powerful version of his famous holiday moonshine and the Redmond family, friends, and the old neighborhood assault Christmas Tree Mountain for their yearly “cutting down the Christmas tree” adventure, then the fun begins. During the quest for perfect Christmas trees, Ronzo uncorks his volatile mixture and the old neighborhood might never be the same! Harry’s Resort perfectly captures the essence of the old neighborhood and the amazing variety of people and personalities that live in old American urban cities. When the legendary Mr. Redmond replaces his old aboveground swimming pool in his city lot backyard, the decision creates a resort haven within the gritty urban neighborhood. What happens to the new pool becomes a hilarious romp through a very special time with some very special people. The Eye of the Tiger is authentic storytelling. When the bombastic, woman-crazy, teenage Harry M. Redmond Junior is caught two-timing his steady girlfriend, Harry whips up a wild plan to win her love back. He sucks his conservative best friend Paul John Henson into the mix and into the plans, as Harry enters a roller-skating marathon to raise money for charity and to impress his true love. What begins as a plan to regain her love slowly evolves into something very special, and what happens next is emotional, profound, and truly unforgettable.

The book overflows with nostalgic views back into time, spoofs that poke fun at the 1970s, as well as New Jersey life. The stories depict not only hilarious, unusual and outlandish situations, but the stories and characters will warm your heart and touch your soul. Grab your copy today!

Book excerpt: Emergency managers and public safety professionals are more frequently being called on to address increasingly challenging and complex critical incidents, with a wider variety and intensity of hazards, threats, and community vulnerabilities. Much of the work that falls into the scope of emergency managers – prevention, preparedness, mitigation – is “blue sky planning” and can be contained and effectively managed within projects. This book provides a foundational project management methodology relevant to emergency management practice, and explains and demonstrates how project management can be applied in the context of emergency and public safety organizations. Special features include: an initial focus on risk assessment and identification of mitigation and response planning measures; a clear set of better practices, using a diverse set of examples relevant to today’s emergency environment, from projects to develop emergency response exercises to application development to hazard mitigation; a framework for managing projects at a strategic level and how to incorporate this into an organization’s program, and presents how to develop and manage an emergency program and project portfolio; and suitability as both a hands-on training guide for emergency management programs and a textbook for academic emergency management programs. This book is intended for emergency managers and public safety professionals who are responsible for developing emergency programs and plans, including training courses, job aids, computer applications and new technology, developing exercises, and for implementing these plans and components in response to an emergency event. This audience includes managers in emergency and first response functions such as fire protection, law enforcement and public safety, emergency medical services, public health and healthcare, sanitation, public works, business continuity managers, crisis managers, and all managers in emergency support functions as described by FEMA. This would include those who have responsibility for emergency management functions, even without the related title.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The last independent major league ended its brief run in 1915, after only two seasons at the national pastime’s top level. But no competitor to establishment baseball ever exerted so much influence on its rival, with some of the most recognizable elements of the game today—including the commissioner system, competition for free agents, baseball’s antitrust exemption, and even the beloved Wrigley Field—traceable to the so-called outlaw organization known as the Federal League of Base Ball Clubs. This comprehensive history covers the league from its formation in 1913 through its buyout, dissolution, and legal battles with the National and American leagues. The day-to-day operation of the franchises, the pennant races and outstanding players, the two-year competitive battle for fans and players, and the short- and long-term impact on the game are covered in detail.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With a racing career spanning more than four decades, coming second is never an option for Peter Lindenberg. Troubled by a lack of self-confidence, Peter's 'average' childhood saw a bitter parent who doubted his abilities, a demanding school system that forced him to fit the mould, a younger brother who was better at everything, and brutal, undeserved beatings with a sjambok. But when Peter tasted the buzz of barefoot water-skiing he found it impossible to resist, and went on to break records, earn numerous Springbok Colours, and win many world championships. This, however, was just the start. Little did Peter know the sporting magic that would follow in his life – first as a powerboat racer and then as a race car driver. Despite counting on pins and metal to hold his battered body intact, being arrested unjustly, a serious motor racing accident with his car going up in flames, and a brain haemorrhage, Peter keeps going flat out and quickly ranks on the international championship charts, cheats death twice, and presses the reset button to positively influence a failed marriage. Flat Out and Fearless is Peter's cut-to-the-chase life journey that has rendered him one bionic man who is proud of his blatant honesty and his courageous quest to uplift and transform the lives of the downtrodden.
