Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • REESE’S BOOK CLUB PICK • A “tender, beautiful and radiantly outraged” (The New York Times Book Review) novel that follows a year of seismic romantic, political, and familial shifts for a teacher and her students at a boarding school for the deaf, from the acclaimed author of Girl at War “For those who loved the Oscar-winning film CODA, a boarding school for deaf students is the setting for a kaleidoscope of experiences.”—The Washington Post ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: NPR, The Washington Post, Publishers Weekly, Booklist True biz (adj./exclamation; American Sign Language): really, seriously, definitely, real-talk True biz? The students at the River Valley School for the Deaf just want to hook up, pass their history finals, and have politicians, doctors, and their parents stop telling them what to do with their bodies. This revelatory novel plunges readers into the halls of a residential school for the deaf, where they’ll meet Charlie, a rebellious transfer student who’s never met another deaf person before; Austin, the school’s golden boy, whose world is rocked when his baby sister is born hearing; and February, the hearing headmistress, a CODA (child of deaf adult(s)) who is fighting to keep her school open and her marriage intact, but might not be able to do both. As a series of crises both personal and political threaten to unravel each of them, Charlie, Austin, and February find their lives inextricable from one another—and changed forever. This is a story of sign language and lip-reading, disability and civil rights, isolation and injustice, first love and loss, and, above all, great persistence, daring, and joy. Absorbing and assured, idiosyncratic and relatable, this is an unforgettable journey into the Deaf community and a universal celebration of human connection.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Making sound investments is tough enough without having to worry about unscrupulous financial advisers and outright frauds. But recently strengthened laws aren't enough to stop the "professionals" intent on profiting from--or just plain stealing--your money. As an Enforcement Branch Chief at the Securities and Exchange Commission, Pat Huddleston witnessed countless people lose their life savings to reckless stockbrokers and fraudulent schemes. Now an SEC-recommended Receiver andCEO of a securities and investment fraud investigation agency, Huddleston has intimate knowledge of how scam artists and bad brokers operate. In The Vigilant Investor, he explains WHY we fall for investment scams, HOW con artists play on our emotions, and WHAT we can do to protect ourselves from predators. With its unique look into the science of financial decision making, the book blows up the popular myths and simplistic "do's and don'ts" of investing while sharing techniques anyone can use to perform due diligence even better than the "experts." With gripping stories of actual cases, Huddleston sheds light on the dark corners of the investment industry and teaches investors and professionals alike how to spot fraud and guard themselves against financial catastrophe.

Download or read book Biz War and the Out of Power Elite written by Jarol B. Manheim and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2004-04-26 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book tells the fascinating story of the reemergence of the American political left over the last quarter century in the form of the new Progressive Movement. Born out of Liberalism's crushing defeats at the hands of conservative strategists of the Reagan/Bush era, this new movement has cleverly reverse engineered the conservative's institutional networking strategy to plan and finance its resurgence. Progressive strategists have constructed an elaborate network of foundations, advocacy groups, and other institutions to advance their agenda. But where the conservatives relied on affirmative corporate support to help power their movement, the Progressive Left has used an anti-corporate strategy whose purpose is three-fold: 1. To reclaim the moral high ground of politics by challenging corporate power and influence. 2. To gain effective control over "other people's money" (e.g., pension funds, mutual funds) and use it to press for changes in corporate social policies. 3. To leverage this influence over corporate decision-making to change the direction of American politics and public policy. Biz War extends the argument of Manheim's 2001 book, The Death of A Thousand Cuts, by showing how anti-corporate campaigns have evolved from economically-oriented labor actions to ideological and programmatic political struggles. It details how the strategies and tactics crafted by organized labor are being employed with increasing effect by the political left. The book will be of interest to students of contemporary American politics, strategic communication, political movements, and business management. Likewise it will help corporate executives and financial analysts understand more fully the proxy wars and other attacks against their companies.

Download or read book The Compleat Biz written by Rob Wherrett and published by Reroq Publishing. This book was released on 2009 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This far-sighted book shows how, in the 21st Century, we can develop a model for the organisation that is built on a philosophy that considers people and sustainability but above all else answers the question "Why are we in business?" It is intended to help all those who seek to make their organisations rewarding places to work and at the same time be responsive to the world around them and the people involved. This really is a different way of looking at what we do and why we do it. Not from the standpoint of right or wrong but from understanding the overall consequences of our strategies and their execution. It explodes several myths that plague management, including the idea that never-ending growth is an essential for success. Importantly, the writing looks forward and provides us with models that are very much in tune with the changing world and the need to re-assess how we operate on planet earth. It contains a serious message delivered in an engaging way, with humour and insight, drawing on real-life situations and experience. An intriguing approach to the complex problems that we call business.

Download or read book Show and Biz written by María Blanco and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2023-06-29 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How is capitalism represented in popular culture today? Are profits seen as a legitimate reward of entrepreneurship? Are thrift and effort still considered a cornerstone of a healthy society? Or is it that inequalities are eliciting scandal and reproach? How is the ecosystem portrayed, vis-à-vis profit seeking companies? Are they irreconcilable, or maybe not? Are there any established trends with respect to the presentation of entrepreneurship, and that complex legal artefact that is the modern limited liability company? These are questions that will be at the core of this book. But they are not examined through the usual theoretical point of references, but looking at TV series produced in 2000-2020. Each chapter of this book is a case studies, covering some of the most popular, successful and engaging TV shows of the last 20 years. And showing how deep economic ideas and biases lie, at the roots of some of our times' most successful entertainment products.

Hollywood heavy hitter Disney closed its landmark $71.3 billion deal to purchase 21st Century Fox’s entertainment arm. The company now faces the unenviable task of stitching together two strikingly distinct corporate cultures and catalogs — the conservative, family-friendly Disney with its incredibly profitable mega-franchises and the edgier Fox with its boundary-pushing film and television lineups. Regardless of the challenges ahead, bringing the X-Men, Avengers, Simpsons, and Jedi under one roof will undoubtedly bolster Disney’s position as it gears up for the fight of its life. 2019 年 3 月 20 日，娛樂產業被投下一記震撼彈。好萊塢強棒迪士尼以具里程碑意義的 713 億美元成交，買下二十一世紀福斯娛樂事業部門。迪士尼現在面臨了艱難的任務，要將兩個截然不同的企業文化和產品項目兜在一起──擁有驚人獲利之百萬系列電影的保守且闔家適宜的迪士尼，以及有著挑戰極限之電影和電視劇的前衛福斯。無論面臨何等挑戰，讓 X 戰警、復仇者聯盟、辛普森家庭和絕地武士齊聚一堂，想必能在迪士尼全副武裝為生存而戰時，提升其戰鬥力。
