Summary

In "Notes of a War Correspondent," Richard Harding Davis masterfully chronicles his experiences on the front lines during the Spanish-American War, weaving together vivid narratives that reflect both the chaos and the profound humanity found in war. His literary style is characterized by incisive observations, gripping detail, and a keen psychological insight into soldiers and civilians alike. The book serves as a crucial document of its time, capturing not only the events of the conflict but also the burgeoning role of the journalist as a witness and commentator in the increasingly media-driven world of the late 19th century. Richard Harding Davis was an influential American journalist and novelist, renowned for his daring exploits and literate prose. Having grown up in a family friendly to literature and journalism, his early exposure to news reporting shaped his perspective and narrative voice. His travels and adventures across various war zones contributed to his unique understanding of the complexities of conflict, making him a natural choice for the role of war correspondent. I highly recommend "Notes of a War Correspondent" to readers interested in history, journalism, and the human experience during wartime. Davis's evocative storytelling offers not just a chronicle of events, but also a meditation on courage, suffering, and the enduring spirit of those affected by war.

    From a National Book Award finalist, an “entertaining and inspiring” biography of the heroic Gettysburg commander, college president, and governor of Maine (Senator George J. Mitchell).   This is a vivid account of the life of Joshua Chamberlain, whose is best known for leading a successful bayonet charge against a Confederate assault that was memorialized in the film Gettysburg—and earned Chamberlain the Medal of Honor. But his life was long and his military, political, and academic careers were filled with numerous notable accomplishments as well, among them the governorship of Maine and presidency of Bowdoin College, before his Civil War wounds finally caught up with him in 1914. This account, with illustrations included, tells his absorbing, wide-ranging story, explores his continuing mystique, and paints a vivid picture of late nineteenth-century New England.   “A worthy tribute to Chamberlain’s lasting legacy.” —Civil War Book Review “Joshua Chamberlain was much more than a war hero, and Pullen’s thoughtful book fills out the picture of his remarkable life.” —Senator George J. Mitchell   “Reveal[s] a complicated character, without diminishing the almost mythic status he has assumed.” —The Washington Times

    What if I were to tell you the conventional career intelligence publicly available surrounding careers in construction has mostly held you back? 
This is the case for a few reasons. First, it’s incomplete and missing context. Second, it doesn’t provide a holistic approach to career development. And third, it’s missing all the internal work that’s first required to achieve career success, because we live from the inside out. 
You could spend years accruing bits and pieces of career intelligence for the construction industry, and that’s what it has taken me. I will fast-track that for you, by guiding, inspiring, and directing you to achieve more recognition, higher compensation and faster career progression. 
Are you ready to start construction on the greatest project you'll ever work on?
