Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Often Wrong, but Never in Doubt" chronicals the author's life before WW II and takes us back to the horse-drawn milk wagon days and simpler times. It then brings us through the war that changed his neighborhood forever and into the post war years, the moves his family made and the lasting impact this conversation with his mother had on him and his future family: "Well, in that case you need to ask that girl Barbara Gruhn." "Why?" "Because she asked you out a few months ago." "But we didn't go." "I know, Richard, but the proper thing to do is return the invitation. If she says, 'No.' then your obligation is ended." Then he quickly takes us through his junior high and high school days, his year in a Catholic seminary, his Army and college years and his business career; then shares some golf sagas that anyone who has played the game will see themselves in and finaly shows us the depth of his feelings and faith as he talks about what a special friend taught him about a God who loves us where we are and not where we aught to be.

Download or read book The Great Texas Banking Crash written by Joseph M. Grant and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 1996-01-01 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the decades from 1982 to 1992, Texas banks failed at a rate unprecedented in United States history, even including the Great Depression of the 1930s. In all, 506 Texas commercial banks failed (accounting for 36% of all failures nationally), including seven of the ten largest banks in Texas. In this fascinating insider's account, Joseph M. "Jody" Grant, former chairman and chief executive officer of Texas American Bancshares, Inc. of Fort Worth (the seventh largest), tells the story of the collapse of Texas' major banks. He vividly re-creates the three-year struggle to save his own organization, Texas American Bancshares. This sobering account makes a compelling case against the FDIC's handling of Texas' financial crisis. In Grant's view, the bank failures have deprived Texas of the engine of capital that spawned the nation's third largest industrial economy, built Texas' major cities, bankrolled its entrepreneurs, and provided a pool of talented business and civic leaders. Grant's book will be thought-provoking reading for everyone in the financial community, as well as for students of Texas history and of business and government relations.
Download or read book Swab written by Jon R. Cohen and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2023-06-27 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Behind the scenes of the rush to create mass Covid testing programs overnight SWAB is the story of how BioReference Laboratories—working with no roadmap, no federal guidance or support, and no prior pandemic experience—established processes to test every imaginable segment of the American public. BioReference rose to national prominence as the “first” on many COVID testing frontiers: New York’ s first drive-through testing site; the exclusive provider for the NBA “Bubble”; the exclusive testing provider for the NFL; the first to perform testing for New York City public schools; testing for the first cruise line (Royal Caribbean) to sail when the CDC order was lifted; the first to test thousands of fans for an NFL playoff game; and the first to develop large scale testing programs for testing thousands of people within one hour of special events. SWAB is the story of how Dr. Jon Cohen and his thousands of employees worked around the clock to create bespoke COVID mass testing programs from scratch literally overnight, addressing a series of seemingly insurmountable obstacles in the process. It is a case study of crisis leadership, and a visceral, relatable read for anyone who felt a cotton swab almost reach their brain while taking a Covid-19 test.
Download or read book Complications written by Atul Gawande and published by Metropolitan Books. This book was released on 2003-04-01 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A brilliant and courageous doctor reveals, in gripping accounts of true cases, the power and limits of modern medicine. Sometimes in medicine the only way to know what is truly going on in a patient is to operate, to look inside with one's own eyes. This book is exploratory surgery on medicine itself, laying bare a science not in its idealized form but as it actually is -- complicated, perplexing, and profoundly human. Atul Gawande offers an unflinching view from the scalpel's edge, where science is ambiguous, information is limited, the stakes are high, yet decisions must be made. In dramatic and revealing stories of patients and doctors, he explores how deadly mistakes occur and why good surgeons go bad. He also shows us what happens when medicine comes up against the inexplicable: an architect with incapacitating back pain for which there is no physical cause; a young woman with nausea that won't go away; a television newscaster whose blushing is so severe that she cannot do her job. Gawande offers a richly detailed portrait of the people and the science, even as he tackles the paradoxes and imperfections inherent in caring for human lives. At once tough-minded and humane, Complications is a new kind of medical writing, nuanced and lucid, unafraid to confront the conflicts and uncertainties that lie at the heart of modern medicine, yet always alive to the possibilities of wisdom in this extraordinary endeavor. Complications is a 2002 National Book Award Finalist for Nonfiction.

Download or read book The Power to Harm written by John Cornwell and published by Penguin. This book was released on 1998-02-01 with total page 391 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On September 14, 1989, Joseph Wesbecker entered a Louisville, Kentucky printing plant and shot twenty people with an automatic rifle before turning the gun on himself. Wesbecker had been severely depressed and was taking Prozac, and the families of the victims sued Prozac's manufacturer, Eli Lilly, on the grounds that the popular antidepressant had caused Wesbecker's deranged mental state. The resulting trial instigated unprecedented research into the mind of a "spree killer" — and raised provocative questions about the delicate, dangerous balance pharmaceutical companies must oversee between the public good and the bottom line. In this absorbing book, John Cornwell interweaves the Wesbecker trial with a provocative exploration of issues of identity and personality. He takes us beyond the courtroom and into the laboratories and boardrooms of the corporations who daily make life-and-death decisions concerning the public welfare. The result is a timely, compelling look at what it means and what can happen when science gives us the ability to manipulate who we are and how we behave.

While there, she stumbles onto the principals behind Operation Hydra and unwittingly involves herself in their deadly conspiracy. As she unravels their secrets, they draw her ever deeper into their dark world. She must discover within herself the courage necessary to take on the forces behind Operation Hydra and prevent catastrophe in the Middle East.
Download or read book Being Better Than You ve Ever Been written by Frank Fleming and published by Frank Fleming. This book was released on 1983 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: A collection of interviews illustrates how successful people have coped with basic human problems such as guilt, the need for a perfect world, making decisions, etc. The people interviewed range from Norman Vincent Peale to Abbie Hoffman. Each person describes the challenges imposed upon him by life. The author discusses each subject's actions and personality in terms of a fundamental wisdom which the reader can apply to his own life. These 13 chapters demonstrate that the people live in a way that reflects their beliefs and helps them deal openly with adversity. This self-help book, written for the layperson by a psychologist, discusses how to polish coping skills; each of the 13 interviewees is described as the master of a particular skill. For example, Muhammad Ali relates how he achieved self realization and Xaviera Hollander discusses in frank, earthy langauge how she deals with guilt. The format for each chapter includes a brief description of the fundamental problem, an interview with the "great inspiring teachers", and suggestions for the reader to incorporate into his personal philosophy.

Download or read book Insider Risk and Personnel Security written by Paul Martin and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-12-06 with total page 191 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This textbook analyses the origins and effects of insider risk, using multiple real-life case histories to illustrate the principles, and explains how to protect organisations against the risk. Some of the most problematic risks confronting businesses and organisations of all types stem from the actions of insiders – individuals who betray trust by behaving in potentially harmful ways. Insiders cause material damage to their employers and society, and psychological harm to the colleagues and friends they betray. Even so, many organisations do not have a systematic understanding of the nature and origins of insider risk, and relatively few have a coherent and effective system of protective security measures to defend themselves against that risk. This book describes the environmental and psychological factors that predispose some individuals to become harmful insiders, and the most common pathways by which this happens. It considers how aspects of insider risk have been altered by shifts in society, including our increasing reliance on technology and changes in working patterns. The second half of the book sets out a practical systems-based approach to personnel security – the system of defensive measures used to protect against insider risk. It draws on the best available knowledge from industry and academic research, behavioural science, and practitioner experience to explain how to make personnel security effective at managing the risk while enabling the conduct of business. This book will be essential reading for students of risk management, security, resilience, cyber security, behavioural science, HR, leadership, and business studies, and of great interest to security practitioners.
