  The stock market crashes. Oil prices swoon. American unemployment spikes. Large brand name corporations go bankrupt. Global confidence is at an all time low. The Government spends billions on bailouts. And the dollar goes up. The dollar is still the key reserve currency. People all over the world need some value to believe in, a commodity that is backed up with some security; a certian store of value. Since the U.S. superpower appears to be too powerful to be replaced in the short term, and has always been good for payments on its debts, most people see the U.S. as the fortress of capatalism in time of crisis. In Brave New World Economy, Wilhelm Hankel and Robert Isaak show how "Obamanomics" can be a main proponent in saving the ecomnomic crisis if handled correctly; using America's consistant pattern in reinventing the wheel, to sell and market the new, to discover future in the present.

In his view, the goal of public relations is to facilitate public communications by crafting and maintaining a firm and direct simplification of complex social issues. He describes the public relations counsel as a social scientist who specializes in fully understanding the public opinion and knowing the means through which the public mind is influenced, touching on the subjects of propaganda, stereotypes, the press, and public interactions.

  A history of the Midwestern transportation hub and its impact on the city and the region, plus stunning photographs of the station’s architecture. 
   
  More than a century before airlines placed it at the center of their systems, Chicago was already the nation’s transportation hub—from Union Station, passengers could reach major cities on the Atlantic, Pacific and Gulf coasts as well as countless points in between. 
   
  Chicago’s history is tightly linked to its railroads. Railroad historian Fred Ash begins in the mid-1800s, when Chicago dominated Midwest trade and was referred to as the “Railroad Capital of the World.” During this period, swings in the political climate significantly modified the relationship between the local government and its largest landholders, the railroads. From here, Ash highlights competition at the turn of the twentieth century between railroad companies that greatly influenced Chicago’s urban landscape. Profiling the fascinating stories of businessmen, politicians, workers, and immigrants whose everyday lives were affected by the bustling transportation hub, Ash documents the impact Union Station had on the growing city and the entire Midwest. 
   
  Featuring more than one hundred photographs of the famous beaux art architecture, Chicago Union Station is a beautifully illustrated tribute to one of America’s overlooked treasures. 
   
  “The book includes more than 100 illustrations, a quarter of which are in color—but the real value is in author Ash’s narrative; he’s devoted decades to the study of terminals in the Railroad Capital, and it shows in this marvelous work.” —Classic Trains 
   
  “The station’s history is thoughtfully revealed alongside concurrent economic and political events unfolding in Chicago at given points in time, thus providing the reader with a deeper understanding of why certain station milestones occurred when they did and the way they did.” —The Michigan Railfan

  The New Leadership Literacies -...

  Over the next decade, today's connected world will be explosively more connected. Anything that can be distributed will be distributed: workforces, organizations, supply webs, and more. The tired practices of centralized organizations will become brittle in a future where authority is radically decentralized. Rigid hierarchies will give way to liquid structures. Most leaders—and most organizations—aren't ready for this future. Are you?It's too late to catch up, but it's a great time to leapfrog. Noted futurist Bob Johansen goes beyond skills and competencies to propose five new leadership literacies—combinations of disciplines, practices, and worldviews—that will be needed to thrive in a VUCA world of increasing volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity. This book shows how to (1) forecast likely futures so you can “look back” and make sure you're prepared now for the changes to come, (2) use low-risk gaming spaces to work through your concerns about the future and hone your leadership skills, (3) lead shape-shifting organizations where you can't just tell people what to do, (4) be a dynamic presence even when you're not there in person, and (5) keep your personal energy high and transmit that energy throughout your organization. This visionary book provides a vivid description of the ideal talent profile for future leaders. It is written for current, rising star, and aspiring leaders; talent scouts searching for leaders; and executive coaches seeking a fresh view of how leaders will need to prepare. To get ready for this future, we will all need new leadership literacies.
