Sinopsis

In 'The Plunderers' by Edwin Lefevre, readers are immersed in a gripping tale of corporate greed and financial manipulation during the Gilded Age. Written in Lefevre's signature fast-paced and suspenseful style, the novel explores the ruthlessness of Wall Street speculators and the ethical dilemmas faced by those caught in their web of deceit. Set against the backdrop of the stock market boom of the late 19th century, the book delves deep into the dark underbelly of American capitalism, shedding light on the moral compromises made in the pursuit of wealth and power. Lefevre's detailed descriptions and sharp dialogue add to the authenticity of the narrative, drawing readers into a world of high-stakes finance and betrayal. Edwin Lefevre, a former Wall Street trader himself, brings a unique insider perspective to 'The Plunderers', drawing on his own experiences in the financial industry to craft a compelling and realistic portrayal of the era. His intimate knowledge of market dynamics and human behavior lends credibility to the characters and events depicted in the novel, enriching the reader's understanding of the complexities of financial speculation. I highly recommend 'The Plunderers' to anyone interested in thrilling historical fiction with a focus on financial intrigue and moral ambiguity. Lefevre's masterful storytelling and insightful observations make this novel a must-read for fans of literary works that explore the darker side of capitalism.

    Air shows are one of the world's most popular, non - sporting outdoor attractions. Although the story of flight is over 100 years old, aircraft still hold a fascination for young and old, men and women from all backgrounds. Indeed, the first air show was held when aircraft and aviation was still in its infancy in the 1900s. Since then aviation has progressed in the full glare of the public gaze.
    Some air shows are held as a business venture or as a trade event where aircraft, avionics and other services are promoted to potential customers. Many air shows are held in support of local, national or military charities. Military air services often organise air shows at military airfields as a public relations exercise to thank the local community, promote military careers and raise the profile of the military.
    In this book, we cover the different types of air show and more importantly, the displays that make air shows memorable. For some it is the noise and speed of the latest military jets, for others, extraordinary aerobatics that seem to defy the laws of physics. There are also the displays of classic aircraft and warbirds as well as dramatic reconstructions of how aircraft are deployed.
    What is clear is how far aviation has come but questions persist in how much farther it can go?

    "How do I know I made the right decision?" "What if I'm wrong?" "I need to know for sure."Do you have thoughts like these—thoughts that cause you to second-guess yourself? Do you find yourself repeatedly checking your email for no reason, asking others for their opinions about something again and again, or lying awake at night overanalyzing and planning ahead in an attempt to feel less anxious? If so, you probably have a problem with compulsive reassurance seeking. The good news is that you can break free from this "reassurance trap"—this book will show you how.In this unique guide, you'll find proven-effective tips and tools using CBT to help you tolerate uncertainty, face specific worrying scenarios, and gradually reduce the compulsion to incessantly seek reassurance. Most importantly, you'll learn to deal with those pesky "doubt attacks" and trust your own judgment.Asking for reassurance is a self-reinforcing behavior—if you do it, you're less likely to handle stressful situations without needing further reassurance. And so the cycle continues. The CBT skills in this book will help you break this exhausting and painful pattern, so you can build self-confidence and improve your life.
