Summary

Do you appreciate your forty-hour, five-day workweek? Appreciate having a safe working environment? Unions made this all possible in one way or another. Unions bring value to all sectors of a society. As the champion of people power versus corporate power, unions help to spread the benefits of production throughout a society. Regardless of the state of the economy, there is the timeless struggle of workers trying to gain or retain their rights. However, a vast amount of Americans (including union members) are unaware of the full history of unions and how they have impacted the American workplace today. Unions For Beginners provides an introduction to that essential history.Written and illustrated in the user-friendly, accessible style of the For Beginners series, Unions For Beginners presents the epic story of the labor movement in a simple, memorable way. The role of unions in empowering working people to rise above unfair payment and work conditions to become full-fledged participants in the American dream they helped to build is told in vibrant detail. Unions For Beginners presents the history of unions and the labor movement, the principles underlying union organizing, the decline of unions in the shadow of the rising corporate state, and the resurgence in the 21st century of union activism.

    The Lean Startup: How Today's Entrepreneurs Use Continuous Innovation to Create Radically Successful Businesses by Eric Ries —Book Summary — Readtrepreneur 
(Disclaimer: This is NOT the original book, but an unofficial summary.) 
Startups don't fail by chance, they fail due to mistakes that can be prevented. In The Lean Startup you will become knowledgeable enough to avoid the typical mistakes that make businesses fail and know how to create the startup you were expecting to have. Creating a successful startup is not an easy feat, it's an uncertain road where success is not guaranteed and failure results in a great economic loss. To prevent the latter, you will need to know enough about the game before you start playing it and that's where The Lean Startup comes in handy!

"The only way to win is to learn faster than anyone else." — Eric Ries 
The Lean Startup's philosophy is simple "learn from the best". After an in-depth study of the most successful startups out there, this brilliant guide was made so you could learn from the cream of the crop. Trial and error is expensive and wastes a lot of time so start learning from the best before you jump into the startup world. Uncertainty when building a startup is unavoidable, being prepared for everything that could happen is up to you. 
P.S. The Lean Startup is an extremely informative book that will show you the ropes of creating your own successful startup.
