Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A broke PI attempts to prove the innocence of a wrongly convicted homeless man Late at night by posh Gramercy Park, a woman peers into the backseat of a parked car. She’s never seen a dead body before, but there’s enough blood that she has no doubt what she’s looking at. She remembers seeing a strange man nearby, and the police use her fuzzy identification and a few other bits of tenuous evidence to finger Billy Sowell, an alcoholic bum with limited intelligence and a patchy memory, as the killer. Who cares if he’s guilty? Billy’s an easy conviction, and his case is forgotten until years later, when it falls in the lap of PI Marty Blake. Blake will take anything as he tries to rebuild his practice after a year’s suspension for illegal surveillance, and he attempts to clear Billy’s name using his expertise at computerized investigation. But when it comes to proving the New York Police Department wrong, virtual sleuthing will not be enough. For this computer expert, it’s time to play tough.
Download or read book Bound for Glory written by Woody Guthrie and published by Penguin. This book was released on 1983-09-15 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1943, this autobiography is also a superb portrait of America's Depression years, by the folk singer, activist, and man who saw it all. Woody Guthrie was born in Oklahoma and traveled this whole country over—not by jet or motorcycle, but by boxcar, thumb, and foot. During the journey of discovery that was his life, he composed and sang words and music that have become a national heritage. His songs, however, are but part of his legacy. Behind him Woody Guthrie left a remarkable autobiography that vividly brings to life both his vibrant personality and a vision of America we cannot afford to let die. “Even readers who never heard Woody or his songs will understand the current esteem in which he’s held after reading just a few pages… Always shockingly immediate and real, as if Woody were telling it out loud… A book to make novelists and sociologists jealous.” —The Nation

Download or read book Not for Glory written by Joel Rosenberg and published by Ace Books. This book was released on 1989 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Business success or failure is often determined by decisions made in establishing selling prices for products and services. . . . In this clear and readable work, the authors present a good summary of the literature on pricing policy, emphasizing the relevance of costs. They propose a system that involves analyzing indirect costs to distinguish those that may be relevant to pricing in some circumstances but not others. This `analytical contribution accounting' has promise as a tool for many businesses. Students writing papers on costs and pricing policy would find this volume a useful starting point. The bibliography is good. . . . College and university collections. Using practical examples and simple language, this book develops an accounting system that is a new and functional key to making product pricing decisions. This accounting system, which bridges the gap between full and direct costing, is called Analytical Contribution Accounting. Georges and McGee demonstrate practically as well as theoretically why it is so superior for pricing purposes. The system is based on the relativity aspects implicit in the direct cost method, and on the calculations of a set of differentiated contributions.

Download or read book The Price for Glory written by M. N. Snitz and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-05-18 with total page 458 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abraham Steinnermann offers two absolutes. One, he is very successful and the youngest bank officer in Western Europe. Two, he is especially skillful, lascivious, and licentious in his debauchery of beautiful women. His social skills with women are cursory, always secondary to his personal fulfillment. He is brash, arrogant, and obtrusively conceited. Intelligent and highly educated, Steinnermann insulates himself behind the periphery of his thinly veiled sanctuary. It is 1942. The evil that washes over others eludes him. "I am safe. Untouchable. Omnipotent. A special example that insures my safety." The iron cell door slams shut behind him. His strength and resolve vanish as does his arrogance and hedonism. His face wrinkles with emotion. His eyes tear. He cringes with the thought of his demise as fires around him singe his soul, and wanton barbarity attempts to leave his ashes to scatter dismissively with the slightest breeze. He is paralyzed with a fear that castrates his heart and purges his soul. He seeks the perceived safety of Destiny, although his intellect can neither portray its effectiveness nor assess its mystery. Twelve singular characters of intrigue enter his life and hold in their grasp Steinnerman's future. The "Gang of Twelve" offer redemption but also pain and suffering. "I choose life! I seek Glory! I follow my Destiny!" So states Abraham Steinnermann, whose legacy becomes the Pantheon for humanity. And so too his story continues.
