Sinopse

Steel Empire explores the dramatic transformation of the United States into an industrial powerhouse through the lens of the American steel industry. During the Gilded Age, innovations like the Bessemer process enabled mass production, forever changing the economic and urban landscape. The book uniquely examines how figures like Andrew Carnegie, representing entrepreneurial vision, intersected with the often harsh realities faced by steelworkers, offering a balanced view of the era's unprecedented growth and social inequality. The book argues that the steel industry's success resulted from abundant resources, favorable government policies, and a relentless pursuit of efficiency. Early chapters detail the technological breakthroughs that facilitated mass production, followed by an analysis of industrial leaders and a dedicated examination of the lives and struggles of steelworkers. By connecting industrial history with economics, sociology, and urban planning, Steel Empire provides a comprehensive and accessible understanding of the forces that shaped modern America.

Develop Your Emotional...

360K Pro Publishing

For decades, we believed that someone with a high IQ was guaranteed success, but we’ve seen this theory fail time and time again. We see the average student in school, the one without any special talents, catapult himself to the heights of success while the promising straight-A student flounders as soon as he leaves the rigors of school life. We’ve seen charismatic people fly to heights of stardom while the smart ones look like they’re circling the drain for the last time and needing someone to rescue them.
Scientists have now realized that the path to success based on intellectual intelligence is only half of the equation. There is another form of intelligence that has only been recognized in the last few decades: our emotional intelligence. In this book, we’re going to discuss exactly what emotional intelligence is and how we can train it to make us more effective communicators, build up positive and rewarding relationships, and how to identify our innermost emotions; especially the ones that are triggering those self-sabotaging behaviors that are keeping us from our goals.

A Tale of Two Unions - The...

Mark Corner

Brexit is a tale of two unions, not one: the British and the European unions. Their origins are different, but both struggle to maintain unity in diversity and both have to face the challenge of populism and claims of democratic deficit.
Mark Corner suggests that the »four nations« that make up the UK can only survive as part of a single nation-state, if the country looks more sympathetically at the very European structures from which it has chosen to detach itself. This study addresses both academic and lay audiences interested in the current situation of the UK, particularly the strains raised by devolution and Brexit.

The Faith - What Christians...

Anônimo

Rightly understood and rightly communicated, the Christian faith is one of great joy. It is an invitation to God's kingdom, where tears are replaced by laughter and longing hearts find their purpose and their home. 
This is the heart of the gospel: God's search to reclaim us and love us as his own. But have we truly grasped this? Those of us who have disdained Christianity as a religion of bigotry--have we repudiated the genuine article or merely demonstrated our own prejudice and ignorance? Those of us who are Christians--have we deeply apprehended the mission of Jesus, and do our ways and character faithfully reflect his beauty? From the nature of God, to the human condition, to the work of Jesus, to God's coming kingdom, and all that lies between, how well do we understand the foundational truths of Christianity and their implications? 
The Faith is a book for our troubled times and for decades to come, for Christians and non-Christians alike. It is the most important book Chuck Colson and Harold Fickett have ever written: a thought-provoking, soul-searching, and powerful manifesto of the great, historical central truths of Christianity that have sustained believers through the centuries. Brought to immediacy with vivid, true stories, here is what Christianity is really about and why it is a religion of hope, redemption, and beauty.

90 Degrees to Zamboanga -...

Rick Bibbero

Sometimes comedic and sometimes deadly serious; the story is told by one of its major participants. Naive college students in the late 1960s, looking for excitement and adventure, smuggle kilos of marijuana on their backs over the Mexican border and into the United States. This memoir follows their lives, the cast of characters they meet along the way, and their smuggling adventures for the next two decades as their business ventures rise and fall and their escapades circle the globe, developing into a major criminal enterprise."November 1974: we were still ten days sail from our destination in Thailand where the four of us planned to load our 41-foot sailboat with a ton of the best marijuana on the face of the planet. This would be the largest single load of Thai sticks ever brought to the U.S. to date… if we made it home to California. However, we'd just survived a category four storm that had battered us and left all of our primary navigational equipment waterlogged and useless and us lost somewhere in the Sulu Sea. I figured that we may have been blown some 200 miles off course to the south and were now in some of the most notorious pirate infested waters in the world.
