Synopsis

A Moment in Time: Thirty Years in the Making is about the evolution of the Georgia Tech Placement Center into the current Georgia Tech Career Services Office. The idea behind this book is to commemorate the past thirty years, 1973-2003, and highlight the changes that have evolved over time within this environment. This book is easy to read, fun and enjoyable. It is about a group of people in one place, and in one occupation. Topics covered in this book are real events, written by real people, illustrating the best practices of the time. I hope that this book will illuminate Career Services as a unique department. The focus of this book is to highlight the many facets of the Placement Center/Career Services operation while incorporating the many historical events that took place during these years, including the manual or technical writing processes (in choosing different types of stylistic choices and/or different types of audiences) used to accomplish these jobs, and the immense technological changes that truly revolutionized the way we conduct business. The design, format, style and idea behind this book were created by me. However, I am not the sole author of this piece. I invited a number of people to contribute their insight to this work as well

    Vice Admiral Sir Peter Gretton's book is a brilliant account of his career in the navy through World War Two: fighting in the Second Battle of the Narvik and guarding convoys in the Mediterranean and the North Atlantic, before being placed in charge of Escort Group B7, which he described as "the finest job in the Navy for a new commander." It was in this role that Gretton, and the seven warships under his command, were able to make their contribution to turning the tide against the U-boat threat. 
     
     
     
    On April 22, 1943, Gretton was in charge of the escort for Convoy ONS 5 during its journey across the North Atlantic. Over the course of the voyage they were attacked by over fifty U-boats, and although they lost thirteen ships they managed to sink six U-boats and seriously damage many more. The U-boats had never faced such fierce resistance to their lethal raids. What tactics had Gretton used to fend off Doenitz's terrifying submarine wolf packs? And how had these strategies developed over the course of the war? 
     
     
     
    Convoy Escort Commander demonstrates how Allied commanders searched for new methods to repel U-boat assaults, including using direction-finding radio and radar, employing special tactical formations, coordinating with air cover, and endeavoring to keep the convoy together and prevent straggling.

    The work of a lifetime from the Tony Award–winning, bestselling author of The Vagina Monologues—political, personal, profound, and more than forty years in the making. 
     
     
     
    The newest book from V (formerly Eve Ensler), Reckoning invites you to travel the journey of a writer's and activist's life and process over forty years, representing both the core of ideas that have become global movements and the methods through which V survived abuse and self-hatred. Seamlessly moving from the internal to the external, the personal to the political, Reckoning is a moving and inspiring work of prose, poetry, dreams, letters, and essays drawn from V's lifelong journals that takes listeners from Berlin to Oklahoma to the Congo, from climate disaster, homelessness, and activism to family. 
     
     
     
    Unflinching, intimate, introspective, courageous, Reckoning explores ways to create an unstoppable force for change, to love and survive love, to hold people and states accountable, to reckon with demons and honor the dead, to reclaim the body, and to see oneself as connected to a greater purpose. It reimagines what seems fixed and intractable, providing a path to understand one's unique experience as deeply rooted in the world, to break through one's own boundaries, and to write oneself into freedom.

    A TRIBUTE FROM THE AUTHOR OF 'PAINT IT BLACK THE MURDER OF BRIAN JONES' 
    AND 'THE ROLLING STONES ALBUM', SQUID GAME STAR & PEOPLE'S CHOICE AWARD WINNER GEOFFREY GIULIANO 
     
    "I wanted to play drums because I fell in love with the glitter and the lights, but it wasn't about adulation. It was being up there playing." 
     
    "I hate leaving home. I love what I do, but I'd love to go home every night." 
     
    "It's been years and years and years I've been playing the drums, and they're still a challenge." 
     
    "I never had lessons. Used to try to play to records, which I hated doing. Still can't play to them." 
    Charlie Watts 
     
    Charlie Watts provided the foundation that underpinned the music of the Rolling Stones. The band became a by-word for rock 'n' roll excess but for Watts, playing with the Stones did not become the ego trip that drove Mick Jagger and Keith Richards. A jazz aficionado, Watts vied with Bill Wyman for the title of least charismatic member of the band; he eschewed the limelight and rarely gave interviews. And he famously described life with the Stones as five years of playing, 20 years of hanging around. 
     
    Charles Robert Watts was born on 2 June 1941 at the University College Hospital in London and was raised in Kingsbury, now part of the London Borough of Brent. His father was a lorry driver and Watts was brought up in a prefabricated house to which the family had moved after German bombs destroyed hundreds of houses in the area. A childhood friend once described how Watts had an early interest in jazz and recalled listening to 78s in Charlie's bedroom by artists such as Jelly Roll Morton and Charlie Parker.
