Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • NOW A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE • Look for special features inside. Join the Random House Reader’s Circle for author chats and more. In boyhood, Louis Zamperini was an incorrigible delinquent. As a teenager, he channeled his defiance into running, discovering a prodigious talent that had carried him to the Berlin Olympics. But when World War II began, the athlete became an airman, embarking on a journey that led to a doomed flight on a May afternoon in 1943. When his Army Air Forces bomber crashed into the Pacific Ocean, against all odds, Zamperini survived, adrift on a foundering life raft. Ahead of Zamperini lay thousands of miles of open ocean, leaping sharks, thirst and starvation, enemy aircraft, and, beyond, a trial even greater. Driven to the limits of endurance, Zamperini would answer desperation with ingenuity; suffering with hope, resolve, and humor; brutality with rebellion. His fate, whether triumph or tragedy, would be suspended on the fraying wire of his will.

Download or read book The Biology of Investing written by John R. Nofsinger and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-03-30 with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why do people’s financial and economic preferences vary so widely? ‘Nurture’ variables such as socioeconomic factors partially explain these differences, but scientists have been discovering that ‘nature’ also plays an important role. This is the first book to bring together these scientific insights for a holistic view of the role of human biology in financial decision-making. Geneticists are now examining which genetic markers are associated with financial and economic preferences. Neuroscientists are now determining where in the brain financial decisions are made and how that varies between people. Endocrinologists relate the level of different hormones circulating in the body to financial risk-taking. Researchers are exploring how physiology and environmental conditions influence investment decisions, and how three types of cognitive ability play essential roles in investment success. This exciting and relevant work being done in these academic silos has generally not been transmitted among the scientific areas, or to industry. For the first time, this book integrates all these areas, explaining the myriad ways in which a person’s biology influences their investing decisions. Financial analysts, advisors, market participants, and upper-level undergraduate and postgraduate students of behavioral finance, behavioral economics, and investing will find this book invaluable, enabling a deeper understanding of investors’ decision-making processes. To further ensure this new material is accessible to students, PowerPoint slides are available online for instructors’ use.

Download or read book Re Invent Yourself written by Cheryl Garrison and published by . This book was released on 2016-08-12 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cheryl Garrison wrote Re-Invent Yourself after meeting numerous women over 50 who were struggling with the reality of growing older. Career change (including downsizing or layoff), empty nest syndrome, failed retirement, failed business, failed relationships and a lack of confidence in the future are just some of the issues facing women over 50. Cheryl begins the book sharing with the reader her personal journey from a "bold and fearless" 20-year-old to a 50something woman who has been defeated by life-altering changes. Re-Invent Yourself is a working guide that chronicles the steps Chery took to re-vitalize her life. Why do we stop dreaming after 50something? Why do we think we are too old to start a business or run a marathon? This book answers these questions and then provides resources to help women live out their dreams and aspirations. The book is filled with personal experiences and is divided into 5 chapters, each designed to move the reader closer to creating a Re-Invention Plan which is the objective of the book. Know Yourself - Helps the reader answer the question, "Who are You?" and "What do you Want?." Cheryl believes that at the core of many of the problems women over 50 have is a lack of true identify or an identity that has been lost in the years of giving to others and spending very little time taking care of ourselves. The exercises in this chapter lead women through an assessment of their self-esteem right now and gives techniques for helping them find their true identity. Women completing this chapter will also be able to take a hard look at what they are currently accomplishing in their personal and professional life and begin the process of identifying what they desire to be and do. Heal Yourself- How do we overcome the beliefs that have kept us from succeeding? Cheryl carries the reader through extensive exercises that will help them identify the thoughts that have kept them standing in "cement blocks" and then break through to a life of accomplishment. Re-Invent Yourself- Readers are given the tools needed to take the wants they have identified as important to them and create a lifestyle plan for re-invention. The plan includes goal creation, identifying timelines, budgeting, and accountability in order to ensure that goals become a reality. The reader will create long-term, short-term and immediate goals that support their overall plan. Commit Yourself - The final part of Cheryl's re-invention plan is for the reader to be committed to change. Without making the commitment and being open to change, nothing will change. This chapter encourages the reader to get a digital calendar and keep track of daily progress. The next important part of change is getting an accountability partner who will make the journey with the reader. Finally, surrounding oneself with positive affirmations is an important part in creating lasting and sustained change. Cheryl's goal for the reader after they have completed the book is to celebrate a new life just as she has done. She went from near depression to now writing books, creating training programs, coaching and speaking to women over 50 about living a life of passion and purpose.

Book excerpt: Fair winds and fine cruising is author Chris Doyle's wish for readers of this popular, newly updated guide to the 10 island nations of this enchanting Caribbean chain.Doyle's background in research makes this volume rich in practical details; yet its tone is conversational.

Doyle provides aid throughout, using GPS coordinates, a trove of charts and color maps. All are cross-referenced with the newly released Caribbean Yachting Charts, exactingly detailed and available through Cruising Guide Publications. Spectacular photographs add a visual feast.Onshore accommodations, transportation, communications, entertainment and provisioning are also addressed throughout the guide, and in an exhaustive directory by island and service type.

Download or read book Women in Prehistory written by Margaret R. Ehrenberg and published by . This book was released on 1989 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: " "ocial attitudes in our culture have led to the assumption that early advances in human knowledge were the achievements of men; the role of women in prehistoric times has been largely overlooked. In this thought-provoking book, however, Margaret Ehrenberg argues that the true contribution of women especially in the discovery and development of agriculture was much greater than has been acknowledged to date. Examining the evidence from archaeological, anthropological, and classical documentary sources, Ehrenberg throws new light on the lives of women and their social status in Europe from the Palaeolithic era to the Iron Age. The relationship between the role of women and economic production is a central theme of this survey. In Bronze Age and Iron Age societies individual women are seen to be in positions of power. Although available evidence is fragmentary and often controversial, Ehrenberg shows how information can be gathered from skeletons and grave goods found in burials, from settlement sites, from rock carvings and sculpted figurines, as well as from anthropological parallels, to enable significant inferences to be drawn about the life of prehistoric women.
