Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a World where famine and desolation plague America, a comely stranger arrives and presents an offer no one can refuse, but they must leave their Country and follow this mysterious man into the unknown. They are offered citizenship in a newly established Country, South of the Equator where the land is abundant with everything they need. There is much to be discovered when they arrive to Hatari Island; No cell service, no clocks or any other concept of time aside from the shift in daylight. The people are separated by class and most importantly, they can NEVER leave! Read an excerpt below: The Voyage to Hatari “Kick the corner of the wall at the end of the hall and push from the top.” A soft voice answers from the other side of the wall. Zoe and Zora look around before heading to the end of the wall. The sisters do as instructed, revealing a hidden door within the entire frame of the wall. The ladies carefully walk through the revolving door and enter a well-lit room with grey walls, a table at the center of the room and a couple of chairs. The space is reminiscent of an interrogation room. The ladies nearly jump out of their skin as the door slams behind them seamlessly. “Hey! Over here!” A mysterious voice shouts. The sound of tapping draws the sister’s attention to a metal vent on the wall, near the floor on the right side of the room. “Here, use this and unscrew the vent.” A young woman passes a sharp coin to the ladies. “If you help them, they will kill you!” A loud voice fills the room and the ladies notice a speaker port on the ceiling, in the corner of the room. “No! If we don’t stop them they will kill us all!” The voice behind the vent shouts. “It’s a trap! We should have never gotten on this ship! There is no utopia waiting to save us from the hell hole we were living in. There is no place on earth that can provide us with endless peace and Euphoria that we have been promised. It just doesn’t exist. We were all conned into leaving one catastrophic existence just to enter an oppressive dictatorship. One way on, one way off. Once we are there, we stay for good. May the Lord help us if we don’t help ourselves.” The mysterious voice is pulled from the vent. Screams can be heard drifting further away from the cold room. Suddenly, a green colored mist fills the room. Before Zoe and Zora have a chance to plan their next move, they fall to their knees and quickly hit the floor. So much drama and they haven't even made it to the island! Grab your copy and find out how the story unfolds and if the sisters lived to tell their stories.
Download or read book Accountable written by Michael O'Leary and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2020-08-18 with total page 311 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “More than ever before, this is the book our economy needs.” – Dr. Rajiv Shah, president of the Rockefeller Foundation “Unwilling to settle for easy answers or superficial changes, O’Leary and Valdmanis push us all to ask more of our economic system.” – Senator Michael F. Bennet This provocative book takes us inside the fight to save capitalism from itself. Corporations are broken, reflecting no purpose deeper than profit. But the tools we are relying on to fix them—corporate social responsibility, divestment, impact investing, and government control—risk making our problems worse. With lively storytelling and careful analysis, O’Leary and Valdmanis cut through the tired dogma of current economic thinking to reveal a hopeful truth: If we can make our corporations accountable to a deeper purpose, we can make capitalism both prosperous and good. What happens when the sustainability-driven CEO of Unilever takes on the efficiency-obsessed Warren Buffett? Does Kellogg’s—a company founded to serve a healthy breakfast—have a sacred duty to sell sugary cereal if that’s what maximizes profit? For decades, government has tried to curb CEO pay but failed. Why? Can Harvard students force the university to divest from oil and gas? Does it even matter if they do? O’Leary and Valdmanis, two iconoclastic investors, take us on a fast-paced insider’s journey that will change the way we look at corporations. Likely to spark controversy among cynics and dreamers alike, this book is essential reading for anyone with a stake in reforming capitalism—which means all of us.

Download or read book John Wayne written by Randy Roberts and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 1997-01-01 with total page 780 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "John Wayne remains a constant in American popular culture. Middle America grew up with him in the late 1920s and 1930s, went to war with him in the 1940s, matured with him in the 1950s, and kept the faith with him in the 1960s and 1970s. . . . In his person and in the persona he so carefully constructed, middle America saw itself, its past, and its future. John Wayne was his country’s alter ego." Thus begins John Wayne: American, a biography bursting with vitality and revealing the changing scene in Hollywood and America from the Great Depression through the Vietnam War. During a long movie career, John Wayne defined the role of the cowboy and soldier, the gruff man of decency, the hero who prevailed when the chips were down. But who was he, really? Here is the first substantive, serious view of a contradictory private and public figure.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From Pulitzer Prize-Winning Movie Critic Stephen Hunter Comes A Brilliant, Freewheeling, And Witty Look At The Movies. Evanston, Illinois, was an idyllic 1950s paradise with stately homes, a beautiful lake, a world-class university, two premier movie houses, and one very seedy movie theater -- the Valencia. This was the site of Washington Post film critic Stephen Hunter's misspent youth. Instead of going to school, picking up girls, or tossing a football, Hunter could be found sitting in the fifteenth row, right-hand aisle seat of the Valencia, sating himself on one B-list movie after another. The Valencia had a sticky floor, smelly bathrooms, ancient popcorn, and a screen set in a hideously tacky papier-mache castle wall. It was also the only place in town to see westerns, sci-fi pictures, cops 'n' robbers flicks, slapstick comedy, and Godzilla. In Now Playing at the Valencia, the author of such bestselling novels as Havana and Pale Horse Coming has compiled his favorite movie reviews written between 1997 and 2003, bringing to the discussion the passionate feelings for cinema he discovered in the '50s, a time when genres were forming, mesmerizing stars played unforgettable characters, and enduring classics were made. While filmmaking has changed tremendously since Hunter first frequented the Valencia, the view from the fifteenth row, and the thrill of down and dirty entertainment, has remained the same.
