Book I Will Survive

Download or read book I Will Survive written by Gloria Gaynor and published by Macmillan + ORM. This book was released on 2014-03-11 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I Will Survive is the story of Gloria Gaynor, America's "Queen of Disco." It is the story of riches and fame, despair, and finally salvation. Her meteoric rise to stardom in the mid-1970s was nothing short of phenomenal, and hits poured forth that pushed her to the top of the charts, including "Honey Bee," "I Got You Under My Skin," "Never Can Say Goodbye," and the song that has immortalized her, "I Will Survive," which became a #1 international gold seller. With that song, Gloria heralded the international rise of disco that became synonymous with a way of life in the fast lane - the sweaty bodies at Studio 54, the lines of cocaine, the indescribable feeling that you could always be at the top of your game and never come down. But down she came after her early stardom, and problems followed in the wake, including the death of her mother, whose love had anchored the young singer, as well as constant battles with weight, drugs, and alcohol. While her fans always imagined her to be rich, her personal finances collapsed due to poor management; and while many envied her, she felt completely empty inside. In the early 1980s, sustained by her marriage to music publisher Linwood Simon, Gloria took three years off and reflected upon her life. She visited churches and revisited her mother's old Bible. Discovering the world of gospel, she made a commitment to Christ that sustains her to this day.

Book America Adopts the Automobile  1895 1910

Download or read book America Adopts the Automobile 1895 1910 written by James J. Flink and published by MIT Press (MA). This book was released on 1970 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Between 1895 and the late 1920's American civilization was transformed by the automobile and the automobile industry. In American Adopts the Automobile, 1895-1910,James J. Flink writes about the formation of an American automobile culture during the period from the introduction of the motor vehicle into the United States in 1895 to the opening of the Ford Motor Company's Highland Park plant on January 1, 1910. He concludes that Americans by 1910 were committed to automobility and that, with the development of a mass market for motorcars, the automobile industry in America had reached a critical turning point. From then on, the automobile and the automobile industry "called the tune and set the tempo of modern American life." In contrast to earlier historians of the automobile, Professor Flink avoids narrow concentration on the automobile industry and its product. He focuses instead on the automobile as a factor influencing and influenced by American civilization. The molding of a favorable public opinion of the automobile by the press, the growth of automobile clubs, the evolution of legislation intended to regulate the motor vehicle, the development of roads and services for the motorist, and regional, class, and occupational differences in automotive innovativeness—these are some of the topics that are dealt with adequately for the first time in this authoritative volume. Forty-six full-page illustrations augment the text. Familiar topics are also viewed from a fresh perspective. Having made an exhaustive study of the automobile trade journals and popular periodicals of the period, Professor Flink was able to relate the developments in automotive technology and in the automobile industry to the sociocultural milieu within which these developments took place. He reaches some novel conclusions. He demonstrates, for example, that from the first the organization of the automobile industry and the industry's technological accomplishments lagged behind the public's expectations that a reliable, cheap car for the masses would soon appear and inaugurate a utopian horseless age. Well before Henry Ford came out with his legendary Model T, popular opinion of the automobile was overwhelmingly favorable, and many people thought that automobility was a panacea for society's ills. America Adopts the Automobile, 1895-1910,is the first comprehensive, scholarly account of the origins of the American automobile revolution. It adds a new dimension to our understanding of twentieth century American civilization.

Book How to Negotiate a Killer Job Offer

Download or read book How to Negotiate a Killer Job Offer written by Robin F Bond Esq and published by . This book was released on 2013-05 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If you want to learn the job offer negotiation secrets that top executives know and use to power your own career and financial future forward, then this is the book for you. Robin Bond is an employment attorney who represents executives in negotiating employment and severance deals. She has seen what works in the real world - and what doesn't. Robin's new book, How to Negotiate a Killer Job Offer, is the timely response we've all been waiting for to the conversation around Lean In: Women, Work, and the Will to Lead, the book by Sheryl Sandberg, COO of Facebook. Based upon the thousands of clients who have learned how to negotiate a job offer using her proactive negotiation process, Attorney Bond has distilled her negotiating secrets into a short, nuts-and-bolts, how-to employment guide that helps employees level the playing field in job offer negotiation. Robin helps answer the questions about how you get the pay you deserve, how you own the power you have and how you leverage it to get what you want in salary negotiations. Bond's strategies for negotiating success can be successfully applied to any situation. For example, readers can and will apply her WIIFM Factors ("what's in it for me") in any kind of interpersonal or commercial interaction. Everything in the book is based upon what has in fact worked in the real world. Robin has created sample negotiation scripts and letters to hiring managers that you won't find elsewhere. She shows you how to build rapport when you negotiate and showcase your executive potential. She has special materials dedicated to the unique and often secretive world of long-term incentives. These are designed to help you learn how to analyze a job offer, make an apples-to-apples comparison between offers, get more money in a deal, and even tackle the tough issues of securing stock options, long-term incentives and severance pay promises in your job offers. How to Negotiate a Killer Job Offer helps you powerfully prepare for job offer negotiations, access the job search strategy secrets used by senior-level executives in the real world, take action to maximize your chances for making the final terms of the job offer the best ones for you, and successfully implement the right negotiation tactics that increase your chances of completing the mission: career success. (Book Foreword by Mark Cuban, media entrepreneur, owner of the Dallas Mavericks and Shark on ABC's "Shark Tank.")

  • ISBN : 9780751538397
  • Pages : 513 pages

Download or read book The Tomb of God written by Richard Andrews and published by Time Warner Books Uk. This book was released on 2005 with total page 513 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dissatisfied with the explanations of previous researchers, Richard Andrews and Paul Schellenberger applied mathematical logic to the enduring mystery of Rennes-le-Château and the “treasure” alleged to be buried there. Beginning with a healthy skepticism, they assumed the enigma would wither under scrutiny. The quest began with an investigation into the activities of a group of 19th-century priests, but as the trail was pursued, it became apparent that the mystery’s scope stretched far beyond the mountains of southern France. A series of paintings, maps, and tombstones pointed to one very specific location. The authors combined their knowledge of archaeology, theology, and surveying to produce a startling account of what they believe to be the true events surrounding the burial of Jesus.
