Sinossi

In "The Efficiency Expert," Edgar Rice Burroughs ventures into the complex world of business and personal dynamics during the early 20th century. With a narrative infused with wit and sharp social commentary, Burroughs presents the story of a man determined to revolutionize the workforce through productivity and efficiency, reflecting the burgeoning industrial age's ethos. Utilizing a combination of adventure and romance, the book illustrates the tension between individual ambition and the mechanical dehumanization of work, showcasing Burroughs' ability to meld genre fiction with keen insights into societal norms and economic progress. Edgar Rice Burroughs, best known for his creation of the iconic character Tarzan, wrote "The Efficiency Expert" in 1921, demonstrating his versatility beyond pulp adventure. Influenced by his experiences in various business ventures and his interest in contemporary industrial society, Burroughs critiques the often mechanistic approach to both labor and humanity. His keen observations provide a unique context to the narrative, as he juxtaposes personal fulfillment against the demands of the corporate landscape. This book is a thought-provoking read for anyone interested in the interplay of efficiency, human relationships, and early 20th-century industrial culture. Burroughs' engaging narrative style and astute social observations offer layers of meaning that resonate even today, making "The Efficiency Expert" a compelling study for scholars and general readers alike.

    In today’s deeply divisive political environment, the constant media storm pits Democrats against Republicans and liberals against conservatives, and drives narratives that describe Donald Trump as the worst president in American history who should be incarcerated forever for high crimes against society. But another segment of America believes Trump is the savior of the nation and worthy of sainthood. 
    What is the truth? Is there an acceptable reality somewhere within these two extremes? Can we know what actually guides Trump’s larger than life political persona? What really makes him tick? Is he worthy of the support of an American people desperately seeking the best for a nation in turmoil? 
    The Magic and Mayhem of Donald Trump lays out with uncommon clarity the reality of the Trump enigma. Known for his supreme self-confidence, inexhaustible ambition, braggadocio, arrogance, vanity, and knack for thriving amid conflict, Trump, who fights opponents with a fierce intensity that is often cruel and harsh, also possesses a firm but realistic sense of right and wrong influenced by a simple faith and bears a serious connection to everyday common people that springs from his past. 
    You will confidently discover, amidst the magic and the mayhem, the real man behind the myth. And in the process, you just might acquire a renewed or even novel appreciation for this American original.
