Book excerpt: Power Broker Jonah Gray is home. But does that mean Amsterdam, or New York City? Will he be Ivan Janse or Jonah Gray? One thing is certain—Jonah, as always, is steeled to get where he needs to go. This time around, the stakes couldn’t be higher. Someone from Jonah’s past is back in a big way. Jonah has been strong-armed into using his knowledge of the business of skyscrapers to assist in a nefarious, global scheme—and failure, as has been made clear, is simply not an option. There are monstrous deals and piles of cash to be made. There are reputations—even lives—to be lost. Facing the horrors of the past, Jonah’s own demons start to encroach as Perry, the woman he loves, seems to sink deeper and deeper into drugs—or insanity. Jonah could be cracking under stress just as he needs maximum focus. He has always been able to call up his resolute strength of character and it’s never been needed more than now. Jonah is in for the fight of his life. Not just for himself—not just for Perry—for an entire industry.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Meet the men and minds that have ignited the greatest decade of deal making in the history of business In the 1980s Tom Wolfe coined the term "masters of the universe" for hard-charging Wall Streeters. In the '90s, that term is applied broadly to the takeover pros behind a decade of stunning mergers and acquisitions. The decade produced more than $8 trillion in M&A, far more than the $2.4 trillion in the "decade of greed." Daniel J. Kadlec, Time magazine's Wall Street columnist, quizzed nine top guns about the strategies they used to pull off the greatest deals in history. The result is a penetrating portrait of how business is done at its highest level, with insights and lessons for everyone. Masters Of the Universe will open your eyes to the brave new world of deal making.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: President Donald J. Trump lays out his professional and personal worldview in this classic work—a firsthand account of the rise of America’s foremost deal-maker. “I like thinking big. I always have. To me it’s very simple: If you’re going to be thinking anyway, you might as well think big.”—Donald J. Trump Here is Trump in action—how he runs his organization and how he runs his life—as he meets the people he needs to meet, chats with family and friends, clashes with enemies, and challenges conventional thinking. But even a maverick plays by rules, and Trump has formulated time-tested guidelines for success. He isolates the common elements in his greatest accomplishments; he shatters myths; he names names, spells out the zeros, and fully reveals the deal-maker’s art. And throughout, Trump talks—really talks—about how he does it. Trump: The Art of the Deal is an unguarded look at the mind of a brilliant entrepreneur—the ultimate read for anyone interested in the man behind the spotlight.

Book excerpt: The soundest of sleepers, Kristen was blissfully unaware of just how drastically her life was about to change. She did not hear the vehicle pulling into the driveway. She did not hear the front door open or the alarm going off to signify there was an intruder in the house. She did not hear the footsteps of the men moving through the house or their hush banter as they searched. Her first inkling that something was wrong was when the sensory deprivation hood was being zipped around her head and several sets of hands busily restrained her arms and legs. Bound and taken, her deepest, darkest fantasies were about to be fulfilled even if she did not realize she had them.

Download or read book Merger Masters written by Kate Welling and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2018-11-06 with total page 389 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Merger Masters presents revealing profiles of monumentally successful merger investors based on exclusive interviews with some of the greatest minds to practice the art of arbitrage. Michael Price, John Paulson, Paul Singer, and others offer practical perspectives on how their backgrounds in the risk-conscious world of merger arbitrage helped them make their biggest deals. They share their insights on the discipline that underlies their fortunes, whether they practice the “plain vanilla” strategy of announced deals, the aggressive strategy of activist investment, or any strategy in between on the risk spectrum. Merger Masters delves into the human side of risk arbitrage, exploring how top practitioners deal with the behavioral aspects of generating consistent profits from risk arbitrage. The book also includes perspectives from the other side of the mergers and acquisitions divide in the form of interviews with a trio of iconic CEOs: Bill Stiritz, Peter McCausland, and Paul Montrone. All three took advantage of M&A opportunities to help build long-term returns but often found themselves at odds with the short-term focus of Wall Street and merger investors. Told in lively, accessible prose, with bonus facts and figures for transaction junkies, Merger Masters is an incomparable set of stories with plenty of unfiltered lessons from the best managers of our time.

Download or read book The Whole Damn Deal written by Kathryn J. McGarr and published by Public Affairs. This book was released on 2011-10-11 with total page 482 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Robert S. Strauss was for many decades, the quintessential political operator. He played a pivotal role in US politics for more than fifty years, serving as chairman of the Democratic National Committee, US Trade Representative, and US Ambassador to the USSR and later Russia. He has advised and represented many US presidents for both major political parties. Yet, we know very little of this man who has been so influential behind the scenes. This is the story of how Bobby Strauss, a poor, Jewish boy from West Texas, became Robert S. Strauss, a lawyer and politician of national and international renown. Strauss entered national politics when Beltway outsiders were planning their takeover of the Democratic Party in the aftermath of the divisive 1968 Chicago convention. After the 1972 nomination and subsequent defeat of George McGovern polarized the old and new factions of the Democratic Party, Strauss became chairman of the Democratic National Committee. He managed to create a coalition of old guard conservatives, minorities, youth, and representatives of both labor and big business that resembled the patchwork Democratic Party we still have to this day. Strauss excelled at balancing accommodation and persuasion. He was proud to be an insider and a politician, even when those were considered dirty words, because he enjoyed the negotiations that politics then entailed. His Texas charm and political savvy won over both sides of the aisle in Washington. This book will describe what went on in the smoke-filled rooms, and in the bathrooms of the hotel suites, "where the real decisions were made, " as Strauss likes to say. It is a vivid portrait of a bygone era of civilized Washington politics, when Republicans and Democrats worked together without fear of criticism. "--

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the US Armys, Field Manual of Electronic Warfare in Operations (FM 3-36), it states that: Hardware is described as Computers, Relay Stations, Circuits, Radios, Scanners and other things of their ilk. Software is described as the Programs used to Direct the Operations of the Hardware, to function within a command control system. Wetware is described as the Personnel that operate or maintain the Command Control System. It doesnt say why the Pentagon gave Wetware the name it is. I can only use my imagination and assume that Wetware is what happens when People have Anti-Radiation Missiles shot at them. The other fact is that the Human Body is 98 % water. Only the Pentagon could coin a phrase with such an innocent content but has such devastating effect. In Todays Internet Based Environment it rings with a larger intent. It also assumes that Hardware is easier to replace then Wetware. It is also along this same vein, that Roxanne of Dark Energy has been constructed.

Book excerpt: What if All You’ve Ever Known about Christianity Is a Lie? On his deathbed, Constantine the Great, Emperor of Rome and patron of the Church, was baptized into Christianity—and a confession was heard. But what did he say, and who did he say it to? No one has known. Until now. Fresh off a mission saving the Bible, the Order of Thaddeus, ancient defender of the Church, makes a startling discovery at an archaeological site that threatens the heart of Christian belief: the divinity of Jesus. It also throws into confusion the historical record surrounding Emperor Constantine and the Council of Nicaea. And when a cryptic message on the dark web challenging the Church’s central code surfaces from a new rival—Silas Grey and his agents are once again thrown back into the fray to unravel a puzzle mystery involving the Nicene Creed and Constantine’s confession. Spanning the seedbed of Christianity from Libya to Turkey, SEPIO scrambles to make sense of a maelstrom of menaces sweeping against both the Order and the Church in its most urgent and harrowing mission yet. All with a ticking-clock countdown to explosive revelations suggesting all the world has ever known about Christianity has been a lie—built by an emperor, embedded in a creed, suggested by a heretic, and pushed by a doctrine at the heart of the world’s largest religion. Will SEPIO get to the bottom of the ancient confession and code at the heart of Christianity before enemies new and old leverage it to destroy the faith? Combining fact, faith, and fiction like few religious writers, J. A. Bouma weaves a propulsive, page-turning archaeological treasure hunt fans of Clive Cussler, James Rollins, and Steve Berry will devour—with the best elements from bestselling action-adventure, religious conspiracy, and historical thrillers to set the pace. Join the archaeological adventure with this 9th book in the series fans say “is a must read [that] will not only excite and thrill you but give you something to think about and inspire you!”
