  An "entertaining and perceptive" history of America's most exclusive families, from the Brahmins of New England to the Grandees of California (The Washington Post).
  
  America has always been a constitutionally classless society, yet an American aristocracy emerged anyway—a private club whose members run in the same circles and observe the same unwritten rules. Here, renowned social historian Stephen Birmingham reveals the inner workings of this aristocracy. He identifies which families in which cities have always mattered, and how they've defined America.
  
  America's Secret Aristocracy offers an inside look at the estates, marriages, and financial empires of America's most powerful families—from the Randolphs of Virginia and the Roosevelts of New York to the Carillos and Ortegas of California. With countless anecdotes about our nation's elite, including interviews with their modern-day descendants, Birmingham presents colorful portraits that capture the true definition, essence, and customs of America's aristocracy.

  What determines whether an unexpected event becomes a disaster is you. 
   
   
   
  In Design Any Disaster, certified emergency manager and master business continuity practitioner Patrick Hardy reveals the secrets of disaster preparedness that helped him build the largest and most successful small business and family disaster planning company in the world. He explains why: You should never, ever "remain calm" during a disaster, 99% of all disaster plans are a complete waste of time, and fancy disaster equipment and supplies actually leave you less prepared. 
   
   
   
  Design Any Disaster is not a survival manual. It's a revolutionary approach to disaster preparedness, response, and recovery for families and small businesses that can be used whether you live in the middle of a big city, in a quiet suburban neighborhood, or in a rural county with more cows than people. Using the powerful C3 Method Hardy uses with his clients, from Fortune 500 CEOs to average families, you will discover how to get ready (plan effectively), react (focus without panicking), respond (protect yourself and your possessions), and recover (overcome swiftly). And in a revolutionary section you will not find in any other disaster book, Hardy also reveals how to reverse disaster, converting the experience into an opportunity to become wiser and happier.

  Successful team building that exists in any workplace is involved with more than simply the creation of a successful team that has been given, instead of creating or building an entire ideal team from the beginning. There are particular core principles that are linked to effective team building that can help any organization or work situation get the best outputs out of any team that has to be managed. 
  By adopting the effective methods of team building, one can learn the processes of applying these principles towards: 
  A project-based team wherein even though the members are not expert in each of the given technical areas of the project, the members are still believed towards coordinating in the efforts of the team. 
  A proper support team wherein there exist problems with proper motivation as well as high level of staff turnover. 
  High-standard strategic team wherein the team members do not have the right to impose any direct forms of authority over other members in the team.
