  Alexander Green has spent 16 years working on Wall Street and has  continued his career as a very successful investment professional.  Along the way, however, he has adopted a unique philosophy that he  has taught others about his spiritual approach to financial  planning. Here, he walks readers through choices they can make to  lead a more satisfying professional and personal life, accumulating  wealth if they choose to, but also making choices that are not  solely determined by financial aspirations. As he has said, "You  can't put a price on freedom, especially personal freedom. It may  mean you have to change your lifestyle, buy a smaller house or one  car, instead of two." In thinking about work, Green's philosophy is  that people can experiment and take risks, and ask themselves  if they are enjoying their work or putting themselves out to the  highest bidder.

  A guide for Asian women to tap into their confidence, joy, and shine as leaders in today's worldIn 2021, women represented 54.3% of the US workforce but only held 35% of senior leadership positions. Of that percentage, only 2.7% of Asian women were seen in management roles. While there have been great leaps for women in the workplace in the last decade, women of color still fall behind. The Tao of Self-Confidence book sets a foundation to help Asian women start being seen as leaders in work and life rather than by our stereotypes. In order to move forward with true confidence, we must learn the lessons our challenges have taught us and heal our trauma.With an honest and vulnerable approach, Yap Chan discusses and explores the specific challenges our community faces, historically and now in the midst of the pandemic, intergenerational and historical trauma, false stories we tell ourselves, and how we can rise above stereotypes. We'll tap into our inner joy, celebrate our authentic self, and awaken the leader within.

  Uranium Frenzy - Saga of the...

  A history of the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission’s need for uranium ore in the 1950s, the frenzied search, and the aftermath.Now expanded to include the story of nuclear testing and its consequences, UraniumFrenzy has become the classic account of the uranium rush that gripped the Colorado Plateau region in the 1950s. Instigated by the U.S. government’s need for uranium to fuel its growing atomic weapons program, stimulated by Charlie Steen’s lucrative Mi Vida strike in 1952, manned by rookie prospectors from all walks of life, and driven to a fever pitch by penny stock promotions, the boom created a colorful era in the Four Corners region and Salt Lake City (where the stock frenzy was centered) but ultimately went bust. The thrill of those exciting times and the good fortune of some of the miners were countered by the darker aspects of uranium and its uses. Miners were not well informed regarding the dangers of radioactive decay products. Neither the government nor anyone else expended much effort educating them or protecting their health and safety. The effects of exposure to radiation in poorly ventilated mines appeared over time.The uranium boom is only part of the larger story of atomic weapons testing and its impact in the western United States. Nuclear explosions at the Nevada Test Site not only spurred uranium mining, they also had a disastrous impact on many Americans: downwinders in the eastward path of radiation clouds, military observers and guinea pigs in exposed positions, and Navajo and other uranium mill workers all became victims, as deaths from cancer and other radiation-caused diseases reached much higher than normal rates among them. Tons of radioactive waste left by mines, mills, and the nuclear industry and how to dispose of them are other nagging legacies of the nuclear era. Recent decades have brought multiple attempts by victims to obtain compensation from the federal government and other legal battles over disposal of nuclear waste. When courts refused to grant relief to downwinders and others, Congress eventually interceded and legislated compensation for a limited number of victims able to meet strict criteria, but did not adequately fund the program. Recently, Congress attempted to fix this shortfall, but in the meantime many downwinders and others holding compensation IOUs had died. Congressional and other efforts to dispose of waste have lately focused on Nevada and Utah, two states all too familiar with nuclear issues and reluctant to take on further radioactive burdens.“In a perceptive and touching narrative, Ringholz (The Wilderness Handbook) recalls that the Federal government in the early 1950s subsidized uranium mining for the coming atomic age. . . . Ringholz intrigues the reader with an expert blending of science, adventure, industry mania, finance, human triumph and despair and shameful official neglect.” —Publishers Weekly“The frenzied search for a reliable domestic source of uranium ore needed by the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission in the 1950s is the subject of Ringholz's breezy narrative, which is populated with colorful characters. . . . This is good popular reading for general collections in public libraries.” —Library Journal

  Technology is widely accepted as a powerful business  productivity tool, a lever. The office is not. It is even accounted  for as overhead,  or sunk cost, something to  manage and minimize.  Our case for space aims to uncover what  companies lose with this mindset and what they could gain with a  new understanding of how powerful the tools of design, space and  place making are.  For organizations that want to move at the speed of business  changing their workspace is one of the fastest, easiest and most  revealing tools to shift culture at the same pace. Unfortunately,  today most buildings communicate in no uncertain terms that  designing for people is low on our scale of priorities. In most  offices less than fifty percent of space is being utilized. This is  a drain on direct costs as well as the vitality of its employees.  Employee engagement initiatives have often failed because poor  employee engagement is embedded in the companys culture.  Change Your Space, Change Your Culture reveals secrets from  companies who have uncovered the relationship between engagement,  culture, and space.
