Book Synopsis Upstairs at the White House by : J. B. West
Download or read book Upstairs at the White House written by J. B. West and published by Open Road Media. This book was released on 2013-10-01 with total page 536 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this New York Times bestseller, the White House chief usher for nearly three decades offers a behind-the-scenes look at America’s first families. J. B. West, chief usher of the White House, directed the operations and maintenance of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue—and coordinated its daily life—at the request of the president and his family. He directed state functions; planned parties, weddings and funerals, gardens and playgrounds, and extensive renovations; and, with a large staff, supervised every activity in the presidential home. For twenty-eight years, first as assistant to the chief usher, then as chief usher, he witnessed national crises and triumphs, and interacted daily with six consecutive presidents and first ladies, as well as their parents, children and grandchildren, and houseguests—including friends, relatives, and heads of state. J. B. West, whom Jackie Kennedy called “one of the most extraordinary men I have ever met,” provides an absorbing, one-of-a-kind history of life among the first ladies. Alive with anecdotes ranging from Eleanor Roosevelt’s fascinating political strategies to Jackie Kennedy’s tragic loss and the personal struggles of Pat Nixon, Upstairs at the White House is a rich account of a slice of American history that usually remains behind closed doors.
Download or read book An Elegant Puzzle written by Will Larson and published by Stripe Press. This book was released on 2019-05-20 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A human-centric guide to solving complex problems in engineering management, from sizing teams to handling technical debt. There’s a saying that people don’t leave companies, they leave managers. Management is a key part of any organization, yet the discipline is often self-taught and unstructured. Getting to the good solutions for complex management challenges can make the difference between fulfillment and frustration for teams—and, ultimately, between the success and failure of companies. Will Larson’s An Elegant Puzzle focuses on the particular challenges of engineering management—from sizing teams to handling technical debt to performing succession planning—and provides a path to the good solutions. Drawing from his experience at Digg, Uber, and Stripe, Larson has developed a thoughtful approach to engineering management for leaders of all levels at companies of all sizes. An Elegant Puzzle balances structured principles and human-centric thinking to help any leader create more effective and rewarding organizations for engineers to thrive in.
Download or read book Ask a Manager written by Alison Green and published by Ballantine Books. This book was released on 2018-05-01 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the creator of the popular website Ask a Manager and New York’s work-advice columnist comes a witty, practical guide to 200 difficult professional conversations—featuring all-new advice! There’s a reason Alison Green has been called “the Dear Abby of the work world.” Ten years as a workplace-advice columnist have taught her that people avoid awkward conversations in the office because they simply don’t know what to say. Thankfully, Green does—and in this incredibly helpful book, she tackles the tough discussions you may need to have during your career. You’ll learn what to say when • coworkers push their work on you—then take credit for it • you accidentally trash-talk someone in an email then hit “reply all” • you’re being micromanaged—or not being managed at all • you catch a colleague in a lie • your boss seems unhappy with your work • your cubemate’s loud speakerphone is making you homicidal • you got drunk at the holiday party Praise for Ask a Manager “A must-read for anyone who works . . . [Alison Green’s] advice boils down to the idea that you should be professional (even when others are not) and that communicating in a straightforward manner with candor and kindness will get you far, no matter where you work.”—Booklist (starred review) “The author’s friendly, warm, no-nonsense writing is a pleasure to read, and her advice can be widely applied to relationships in all areas of readers’ lives. Ideal for anyone new to the job market or new to management, or anyone hoping to improve their work experience.”—Library Journal (starred review) “I am a huge fan of Alison Green’s Ask a Manager column. This book is even better. It teaches us how to deal with many of the most vexing big and little problems in our workplaces—and to do so with grace, confidence, and a sense of humor.”—Robert Sutton, Stanford professor and author of The No Asshole Rule and The Asshole Survival Guide “Ask a Manager is the ultimate playbook for navigating the traditional workforce in a diplomatic but firm way.”—Erin Lowry, author of Broke Millennial: Stop Scraping By and Get Your Financial Life Together

Book Synopsis The Odd Fellows Home by : Skaught Anthony Patterson
Download or read book The Odd Fellows Home written by Skaught Anthony Patterson and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2023-09-03 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The mansion is a dark myth, the old man a legend. But George believes in the legend of the Odd Fellow-that just over the horizon lives an old married couple who know the secret to immortality. And he's determined to find them, to learn their method or spell-their ritual or curse, whatever it may be. Grace stumbles into the mystery in another era, when she takes a job offer that's too good to be true. Their tales intertwine in the halls of the Odd Fellows Home where the intoxicating life-everlasting concoction contorts reality, and the remnants of a secret society unravel in a fiery dance of deception. Literary fiction exploring identity, distrust and loyalty, against the backdrop of a fictional dystopian Missouri town. Interspersed with incantations and short poems employed as literary devices. Excerpt: Forever can have a beginning with no end, or an end with no beginning. Or forever can have neither beginning nor end. I say forever and mean that for me life began and it will never end. I'll never die. I mean exactly as I say. I'm writing it all down for you, for it has been wonderful and horrid. It would have been simple to make better of. That I let it come to this, frailty and sickness lasting for eternity, is shameful. It's damn hell. You think that I exaggerate. I do not. And until you have begun that which I will relate to you, you will never understand, as I do, what forever means. These are the tenets of the Odd Fellow: Relieve the distressed. Visit the sick. Bury the dead and educate the orphan. These things may seem extreme to you and disperate. Like a madman casting about at random ideas or a holy zealot pontificating wildly. No. I use no extremes at all. These ideas are hard in stone and related quite directly. I make no hyperbole. Bury the dead and educate the orphan. When you've learned what I have for you to know, you'll make of these one act, one bright flourish in time when you'll bury the dead and educate the orphan at once. Do you know of the sublime? The sublime is the sense one feels upon a precipice. It is both the extremity of height, and the depth of the impending fall. To comprehend at once the height of a mountain's zenith and the terrible depth of the cavernous pit at its base. That is the sense you must inherit, the sense of the sublime. You must learn to comprehend life backwards, as one whose life begins anew7 and has no end. For the trudging lot that will pass by you into their graves, life has an impending end without escape. It is accepted among them that it has no beginning. They came out of blathering incomprehension into their dim consciousness, and cannot recall the beginning of their lives. It is backwards from the way you will see life once you have begun. Before was only time, but after has been life and life and life. Without end. All of it so precious and sweet, so faithfully sublime compared to the forgotten, worthless time before, so ever long ago. I care not to think of any time before. I care not to think of time, but only life, that can be strung together in an infinite line of lifetimes like a glimmering string of opalescent pearls, each sublime in its haphazard beauty. The answers are all here. I give them to you freely, the method exacting and precise. The Odd Fellows Way.

Download or read book The Buried Giant written by Kazuo Ishiguro and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2015-03-03 with total page 283 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NATIONAL BESTSELLER • From the winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature and author of Never Let Me Go and the Booker Prize–winning novel The Remains of the Day comes a luminous meditation on the act of forgetting and the power of memory. In post-Arthurian Britain, the wars that once raged between the Saxons and the Britons have finally ceased. Axl and Beatrice, an elderly British couple, set off to visit their son, whom they haven't seen in years. And, because a strange mist has caused mass amnesia throughout the land, they can scarcely remember anything about him. As they are joined on their journey by a Saxon warrior, his orphan charge, and an illustrious knight, Axl and Beatrice slowly begin to remember the dark and troubled past they all share. By turns savage, suspenseful, and intensely moving, The Buried Giant is a luminous meditation on the act of forgetting and the power of memory.
