Download or read book Shoemaker written by Joe Foster and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2020-10-01 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The remarkable story of how Joe Foster developed Reebok into one of the world's most famous sports brands, having started from a small factory in Bolton. Since the late 19th century, the Foster family had been hand-making running shoes, supplying the likes of Eric Liddell and Harold Abrahams - later immortalised in the film Chariots of Fire - as well as providing boots to most Football League clubs. But a family feud between Foster's father and uncle about the direction of their business led to Joe and his brother Jeff setting up a new company, inspired by the success of Adidas and Puma, and so Reebok was born. At first, money was so short that Joe and his wife had to live in their rundown factory, while the machinery that made the shoes was placed around the edge of the floor, because it was so weak it could have collapsed if they'd been positioned in the middle. But, from this inauspicious start, a major new player in the sports equipment field began to emerge, inspired by Joe's marketing vision. By the 1980s, Reebok had become a global phenomenon, when they were the first to latch onto the potential of the aerobics craze inspired by Jane Fonda. Soon, Reeboks were being seen on Hollywood red carpets and even in the film Aliens, where Sigourney Weaver wore a pair of Reebok Alien Stompers. Like the international bestseller Shoe Dog, by Nike's Phil Knight, Shoemaker is a powerful tale of triumph against all the odds, revealing the challenges and sacrifices that go into creating a world-beating brand; it is also the story of how a small local business can transform itself, with the right products and the right vision, into something much, much bigger.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "What Is Everyone Talking About?" Throughout my forty-five years of life, many people (family, friends, teachers, neighbors, co-workers, bosses, professionals, or others) have made verbal statements regarding how I act, respond, or think. Here is a wide variety of the most common among them: "Susan, quit biting yourself!" "Susan, stop banging your head on the floor!" "Why are you hurting yourself?" "Stop flapping your hands in the air you look like a fairy!" "Susan doesn't have any sense of pain." "Put those shoulders down and stop rocking." "Stop kicking your feet and carrying on this temper tantrum." "Slow down!" "Lift up your chin and look at me, not out in space." "Stop screaming!" "Stop yelling!" "Talk slower!" "You're too loud!" "Stop your damn laughing; there is nothing funny about that." "Susan is so sensitive about everything." "Stop staring off somewhere and pay attention." "Susan is nervous and jerky mostly jerky." "Are you deaf? Answer me." "Your thinking is backward." "You are such a klutz." "Why are you so clumsy?" "What did you do now crash?" "Stop spinning that radio; you're going to break it!" "Susan, will you stop spinning the dice and take your turn." "Stop spinning the spinner; we want to play the game!" "Stop, Susan, you're going to ruin the record player, turning the turntable by hand!" "Sue, you talk about the same things over and over." "Susie, we are tired of you asking us the same questions. We already answered it. No, the answer didn't change!" "Susan, get out of that room and socialize!" "Sue, why are you going on and on about the same thing? We are not even talking about that anymore." "Susan is so damn stubborn." "Why aren't you emotionally sensitive to other people?" "Do you believe everything people say?" "You take things people say way too literally!" "You take things too seriously!" "You have no sense of humor!" "Nobody understands what the hell you are talking about!" "What is wrong with you?" "Susan, stop making that noise!" "Susan, will you shut up!!!!" "Listen to what I said are you deaf?" "You are a blockhead!" "You are a half-wit!" "Why do you do the same things all the time?" "Why do you eat the same things all the time?" "Don't talk to Susan. She won't understand!" "Susan, we don't want to hear your problems!" "Will you stop organizing everything!" "You're weird!" "You're odd!" "You're stupid!" "You're a retard!" "Sue, you are so slow. You're not getting it!" "You're always lost; that's why I love you!" "God, you're so naive!" "Geez, you're a moron!" "Stop talking with your hands and tell me what you want!" "Close your mouth! You look like an idiot!" "Stop pinching!" "You are so exasperating!" "You're crazy!" "What is Susan so upset about?" "Calm down!" "You're a pain!" "Stop pointing at things and speak up if you want something!" "Well Susan, we thought you were possessed!" "You never did like change!" "Susan, you are going to have to adjust to change in order to survive!" "You are so task oriented." "Do you do everything people tell you to do?" "Susie, do you remember everything people say?" "Susie, you have a remarkable memory!" "You're like a computer!" "You need to be yourself; you are a chronic people pleaser!" "Don't touch her; she jumps!" Comments like these or others would send an automatic wave of scrambling. The behaviors you want to change would become more intense, or an emotional outburst would follow. If you are displeased about us, then we are displeased with you but for different reasons. Ours are "Why?" "You don't make sense to me." "Your words hurt me." "Your actions hurt me." "Your tone of voice hurts me." "Your facial expression (if we can make eye contact) scares me." "Leave me alone!" We may look at you with intense anger or wave our arms in a panicky motion. We may push things, kick, scream, bite, pinch, cry uncontrollably, or withdraw. Physical contact becomes unbearable. Remember, we are scrambled. The words used by others cause friction in our brain circui

Book excerpt: A page-turning novel that is also an exploration of the great philosophical concepts of Western thought, Jostein Gaarder's Sophie's World has fired the imagination of readers all over the world, with more than twenty million copies in print. One day fourteen-year-old Sophie Amundsen comes home from school to find in her mailbox two notes, with one question on each: "Who are you?" and "Where does the world come from?" From that irresistible beginning, Sophie becomes obsessed with questions that take her far beyond what she knows of her Norwegian village. Through those letters, she enrolls in a kind of correspondence course, covering Socrates to Sartre, with a mysterious philosopher, while receiving letters addressed to another girl. Who is Hilde? And why does her mail keep turning up? To unravel this riddle, Sophie must use the philosophy she is learning—but the truth turns out to be far more complicated than she could have imagined.

Download or read book Wood Hicks and Bark Peelers written by Ronald E. Ostman and published by Penn State Press. This book was released on 2016-09-07 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Wood Hicks and Bark Peelers, Ronald E. Ostman and Harry Littell draw on the stunning documentary photography of William T. Clarke to tell the story of Pennsylvania’s lumber heyday, a time when loggers serving the needs of a rapidly growing and globalizing country forever altered the dense forests of the state’s northern tier. Discovered in a shed in upstate New York and a barn in Pennsylvania after decades of obscurity, Clarke’s photographs offer an unprecedented view of the logging, lumbering, and wood industries during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. They show the great forests in the process of coming down and the trains that hauled away the felled trees and trimmed logs. And they show the workers—cruisers, jobbers, skidders, teamsters, carpenters, swampers, wood hicks, and bark peelers—their camps and workplaces, their families, their communities. The work was demanding and dangerous; the work sites and housing were unsanitary and unsavory. The changes the newly industrialized logging business wrought were immensely important to the nation’s growth at the same time that they were fantastically—and tragically—transformative of the landscape. An extraordinary look at a little-known photographer’s work and the people and industry he documented, this book reveals, in sharp detail, the history of the third phase of lumber in America.

Download or read book The Social Life of Coffee written by Brian Cowan and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2008-10-01 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What induced the British to adopt foreign coffee-drinking customs in the seventeenth century? Why did an entirely new social institution, the coffeehouse, emerge as the primary place for consumption of this new drink? In this lively book, Brian Cowan locates the answers to these questions in the particularly British combination of curiosity, commerce, and civil society. Cowan provides the definitive account of the origins of coffee drinking and coffeehouse society, and in so doing he reshapes our understanding of the commercial and consumer revolutions in Britain during the long Stuart century. Britain’s virtuosi, gentlemanly patrons of the arts and sciences, were profoundly interested in things strange and exotic. Cowan explores how such virtuosi spurred initial consumer interest in coffee and invented the social template for the first coffeehouses. As the coffeehouse evolved, rising to take a central role in British commercial and civil society, the virtuosi were also transformed by their own invention.
