Download or read book Vanderbilt written by Anderson Cooper and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2021-09-21 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New York Times bestselling author and journalist Anderson Cooper teams with New York Times bestselling historian and novelist Katherine Howe to chronicle the rise and fall of a legendary American dynasty—his mother’s family, the Vanderbilts. One of the Washington Post's Notable Works of Nonfiction of 2021 When eleven-year-old Cornelius Vanderbilt began to work on his father’s small boat ferrying supplies in New York Harbor at the beginning of the nineteenth century, no one could have imagined that one day he would, through ruthlessness, cunning, and a pathological desire for money, build two empires—one in shipping and another in railroads—that would make him the richest man in America. His staggering fortune was fought over by his heirs after his death in 1877, sowing familial discord that would never fully heal. Though his son Billy doubled the money left by “the Commodore,” subsequent generations competed to find new and ever more extraordinary ways of spending it. By 2018, when the last Vanderbilt was forced out of The Breakers—the seventy-room summer estate in Newport, Rhode Island, that Cornelius’s grandson and namesake had built—the family would have been unrecognizable to the tycoon who started it all. Now, the Commodore’s great-great-great-grandson Anderson Cooper, joins with historian Katherine Howe to explore the story of his legendary family and their outsized influence. Cooper and Howe breathe life into the ancestors who built the family’s empire, basked in the Commodore’s wealth, hosted lavish galas, and became synonymous with unfettered American capitalism and high society. Moving from the hardscrabble wharves of old Manhattan to the lavish drawing rooms of Gilded Age Fifth Avenue, from the ornate summer palaces of Newport to the courts of Europe, and all the way to modern-day New York, Cooper and Howe wryly recount the triumphs and tragedies of an American dynasty unlike any other. Written with a unique insider’s viewpoint, this is a rollicking, quintessentially American history as remarkable as the family it so vividly captures.

Download or read book The Anti Globalist Manifesto written by Jerome R. Corsi and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2024-08-13 with total page 203 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In his new book, The Anti-Globalist Manifesto: Ending the War on Humanity, bestselling author Jerome Corsi puts out a call for action to reverse the totalitarian goals of the New World Order globalists. Corsi addresses that these demons are well advanced in their planned “One World Government” takeover aimed at establishing an atheistic utopia that will have no respect for traditional human rights. Comfortable that their transhuman aspirations are achievable, the Malthusian elite is waging a war on humanity that embraces global depopulation as a means of preventing Earth's abundant natural resources for themselves. Tracing this dystopian nightmare back to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy on November 23, 1963, as the day the deep state went rogue in a conspiracy involving the CIA, the Pentagon, the State Department, and the Department of Justice to affect a coup d'état that would allow the military industrial complex to go to war in Vietnam, the deep state has created an ongoing Truman Show—a series of never-ending psychological operations designed to induce citizens worldwide to surrender freedoms to government in return for security. With the premise that the globalist elite uses systems of mass manipulation and social engineering to induce the world's population to accept the implementation of the "reforms" it has already decided to implement, Corsi sets a detailed plan for organizing global resistance against the subversives who now sit at the top of the institutions or world government and finance. The Anti-Globalist Manifesto is a call to action to restore God to our lives, as those of us fighting for a return to personal freedoms and limited government, ending the war on humanity and driving once and for all time the New World Order globalists back to Hell where they belong.

Download or read book What We ve Become Living and Dying in a Country of Arms written by Jonathan M. Metzl and published by W. W. Norton & Company. This book was released on 2024-01-30 with total page 261 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A searing reflection on the broken promise of safety in America. When a naked, mentally ill white man with an AR-15 killed four young adults of color at a Waffle House, Nashville-based physician and gun policy scholar Dr. Jonathan M. Metzl once again advocated for commonsense gun reform. But as he peeled back evidence surrounding the racially charged mass shooting, a shocking question emerged: Did the public health approach he had championed for years have it all wrong? Long at the forefront of a movement advocating for gun reform as a matter of public health, Metzl has been on constant media call in the aftermath of fatal shootings. But the 2018 Nashville killings led him on a path toward recognizing the limitations of biomedical frameworks for fully diagnosing or treating the impassioned complexities of American gun politics. As he came to understand it, public health is a harder sell in a nation that fundamentally disagrees about what it means to be safe, healthy, or free. In What We’ve Become, Metzl reckons both with the long history of distrust of public health and the larger forces—social, ideological, historical, racial, and political—that allow mass shootings to occur on a near daily basis in America. Looking closely at the cycle in which mass shootings lead to shock, horror, calls for action, and, ultimately, political gridlock, he explores what happens to the soul of a nation—and the meanings of safety and community—when we normalize violence as an acceptable trade-off for freedom. Mass shootings and our inability to stop them have become more than horrific crimes: they are an American national autobiography. This brilliant, piercing analysis points to mass shootings as a symptom of our most unresolved national conflicts. What We’ve Become ultimately sets us on the path of alliance forging, racial reckoning, and political power brokering we must take to put things right.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A political book for non-political people from viral TikTok sensation PoliticsGirl. Something’s gone wrong in the Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave. We can all feel it, but if we’re being honest, most of us don’t understand it. At the end of the day, we don’t have all the facts, and if you don’t know how something works, how do you fix it? A Return to Common Sense is a concise, no-nonsense, dare we say fun, guide to how America works and a roadmap to reclaiming a government of, by, and for the people. If we truly want to be a land of freedom and opportunity where everyone has a shot at a good life, we must acknowledge the ideals of America are in danger, but worth saving. We fought a revolutionary war for the idea of self-governance and pursuit of happiness—we can’t just give up on it now. To address the crisis, Leigh McGowan offers Six American Principles. Six ideals, rooted in history, that we can all agree make America, America. 1. America is a land of freedom. 2. Everyone should have the opportunity to rise. 3. Every citizen should have a vote, and that vote should count. 4. Representatives should represent the people who elected them. 5. The law applies to all of us. 6. Government should be a force for good. Using the Six Principles as guideposts, this book will lay out suggestions for America, to not only find its way out of the mess it’s currently in, but to set a course for a future of which we can all be truly proud. It’s time to find the courage to step out of our comfort zones and off our team benches to reboot America. If we start here, we start strong. We can fix this, but the way forward starts with understanding.

Download or read book Digital China How To Win With Chinese Tourists written by Ashley Dudarenok and published by Alarice International Limited. This book was released on 2020-03-01 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Modern Chinese tourists have become a mainstay in global tourism. The United Nations World Tourism Organisation shows the number of Chinese travellers going abroad climbed from 2.8 million in 1997 to about 73 million in 2018. This means that as of 2018, China was fourth in terms of international visits behind Germany, the United States and Britain. Would you like to attract more of these Chinese travellers to your location, shop or brand? Then this is the book for you. Find out who China’s outbound tourists are, where they’re travelling, what they’re purchasing and why. Here’s an excerpt to give you a taste. China has the world’s largest pool of tourists and in the past decade, Chinese tourism has seen outstanding growth. Now more than ever, Chinese people are travelling. With growth in the larger economy and an increase in disposable income, people are also spending more on travel and in their destination. According to data from the China National Tourism Administration (CNTA), in 2000 there were only 4.5 million outbound trips. In 2018, there were 149.72 million. Purchases while travelling accounted for 11% of per-capita spending in 2018, which is twice the level recorded in 2011. Changes in Chinese travellers’ behaviour have also been noted in recent years. They’re adapting more “Western” travel habits. Instead of just going sightseeing and shopping, they’re more willing to engage in in-depth experiences of local lifestyle and culture. Unique, tailor-made travel services are also a new trend. For example, some are moving from 5-star hotels to boutique hotels or Airbnb homestays and bespoke tours are becoming more popular. We’ve created this mini book for those in the tourism industry who want to understand Chinese outbound tourists and recent trends in order to attract them and provide the best service to them. If you’ve ever asked yourself “How can my business benefit from the increasing number of Chinese travellers?”, this book will answer that question. In the past 8 years, I’ve worked with over 300 brands helping them tap into China. Since 2016, I’ve been a speaker at over 90 events and run my signature Chinese social media masterclasses across Asia, Europe and the Middle East. You’re in safe hands. Modern Chinese Tourists: Who Are They and How are They Travelling? So, who’s coming to visit? Modern Chinese tourists aren’t one group and are changing and developing every year. Some traits cross demographic boundaries, like the fact that women make up 53% of Chinese tourists, while others don’t. And things are changing rapidly because of current events and trade tensions. Understanding the differences and preferences of these groups is crucial to attracting Chinese tourists and increasing the most important kind of marketing – word of mouth. Here’s some of the key information as things stand in November 2019. Millenials One of the most desired consumer groups among marketers all over the world is millennials and China is no different. Chinese millennials, born in the 80s and 90s and now between 20 and 39 years old, are hitting prime consumption age. Described as educated, open-minded and tech-savvy, they make up 31% of China’s total population, representing 415 million consumers. BCG estimates that by 2021, millennials will make up 46% of China’s urban population. They will experience increasing purchasing power and will gradually become the main consumers of products and services. In tourism, millennials play a vital role in shaping trends, as they represent 55% of all Chinese travellers and according to a Coresight Research survey they take an average of 2.3 trips per year. They tend to be more independent and have sophisticated demands. While other travel groups pay greater attention to climate, exchange rates and prices, millennials are ready to pay more and go farther in order to experience unique cultures, cuisine and greater shopping options. Some call it the “experience it all” approach and it’s expected that they’ll keep these habits and preferences as they age. This group is also more spontaneous and makes the largest number of last minute bookings. Usually their trips are inspired and encouraged by influencers on platforms such as WeChat, Weibo and Xiaohongshu. Millennial travellers are ready to spend a significant amount of their income on travel and on average spend more per day (US$ 346) than other groups (US$ 320). Millennials are also affecting their parents’ travel choices, especially when they travel in groups with older family members.” REVIEWS “Great and relevant content! Professional and knowledgeable speaker with contagious energy.” Michelle Ng, Harley-Davidson “Ashley opened our eyes to how the Chinese are leading innovation in the social media space, and how we can learn from them.” Coen Tan, Lead Trainer at Ministry of Influence

Download or read book Emergency Management for Law Enforcement written by James F. Prescott, Jr. and published by Charles C Thomas Publisher. This book was released on 2023-12-06 with total page 378 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With renewed interest in both emergency management and homeland security, disproportionate attention and resources have been focused on terrorist threats. However, natural hazards pose a far greater risk of death, injury, and property damage to the typical American jurisdiction. Hurricanes, floods, and tornadoes cause billions of dollars in damage and substantial numbers of deaths and injuries each year. The aim of this book is to focus on these natural hazards and the linkage between law enforcement and emergency management. It draws from criminal justice, psychology, public administration, emergency management, public health, meteorology, leadership, and management in an effort to synthesize a wealth of knowledge to better prepare police officers to respond to the complete range of emergencies and disasters they encounter on the job. Emergency Management for Law Enforcement: Strategies, Operations, and Tactics will help to better integrate law enforcement officers with other first responder agencies as they work together to resolve critical incidents. It pulls together important information obtained from empirical research and disaster experience. This knowledge is designed to help law enforcement officers deal with disasters and emergencies more effectively as important players in emergency management. Learning these evidence-based practical applications will assist police officers in making better decisions in order to take more effective actions at critical incident scenes.

Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER! In this illuminating and “scoop-rich biography…the tell-all tales rush forth” (Los Angeles Times) offering a “penetrating analysis of the ongoing Republican civil war through the eyes of one of its last embattled centrists” (Publishers Weekly). Few figures in American politics have seen more and said less than Mitt Romney. An outspoken dissident in Donald Trump’s GOP, he has made headlines in recent years for standing alone against the forces he believes are poisoning the party he once led. Romney was the first senator in history to vote to remove from office a president of his own party. When that president’s supporters went on to storm the US Capitol, Romney delivered a thundering speech from the Senate floor accusing his fellow Republicans of stoking insurrection. Despite these moments of public courage, Romney has shared very little about what he’s witnessed behind the scenes over his three decades in politics—in GOP cloakrooms and caucus lunches, in his private meetings with Donald Trump and his family, in his dealings with John McCain, George W. Bush, Barack Obama, Joe Biden, Mitch McConnell, Joe Manchin, and Kyrsten Sinema. Now, Romney provides a window to his most private thoughts. Based on dozens of interviews with Romney, his family, and his inner circle as well as hundreds of pages of his personal journals and private emails, this in-depth portrait by award-winning journalist McKay Coppins shows a public servant authentically wrestling with the choices he has made over his career. In lively, revelatory detail, the book traces Romney’s early life and rise through the ranks of a fast-transforming Republican Party and exposes how a trail of seemingly small compromises by political leaders has led to a crisis in democracy. “A rare feat in modern-day political reporting” (The New Yorker), Romney: A Reckoning is a redemptive story about a complex politician who summoned his moral courage just as fear and divisiveness were overtaking American life.

Download or read book Israel Disarmed written by Mark W. Smith and published by Bombardier Books. This book was released on 2024-05-14 with total page 109 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Where was the army? Where were the police? Where was the state?” –An Israeli mother on the 10/7 attacks America’s anti-gun lobby wants you to “leave guns to the professionals.” The police and military will protect you, they say. Really? Ask the people of Israel how well that worked out for them. On October 7, 2023, Hamas terrorists murdered 1,200 Israelis in cold blood. Civilians waited in anguish for the army or police to rescue them. Why? Because the country’s restrictive gun laws left most people unarmed. The Israeli government made an immediate about-face after October 7. They loosened gun laws to allow as many citizens as possible to arm themselves. So why are America’s anti-gun extremists so determined to brush aside the Constitution and force you to turn in your guns? The lesson from Israel’s experience should be clear: If you wait until catastrophe comes, it’s too late.
