Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Utah's Hidden Treasures is a tour through the state of Utah, with a tidbit of other areas close by would be a good way of getting the juices flowing in the readers' veins to get up off the couch, put down the TV remote, hide the iPod and whatever device keeps them inside to venture out amongst the hills and valleys in search for that lost mine, treasure or outlaw loot! The author, having spent many years; mostly in his early years hunting such things, learned a lot about many places and accumulated dozens of stories and maps. Are they all true? Maybe not, but that's part of the excitement! It seems that most stories have been somewhat embellished, and many maps have been drawn to scam some unknowing greenhorn. But, there are good maps and good stories and it's an adventure to figure out what is and what isn't true."--provided by publisher.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The famous legend of the Iron Door Mine, a forgotten mission and a lost city somewhere in the Santa Catalina Mountains, north of Tucson, Arizona, has lured prospectors and treasure hunters for hundreds of years. The discoveries of early Spanish placer mining sites, stone ruins, and stories of the mountains only fueled speculation about the riches still left behind. Common knowledge among the locals eventually gained legendary status. Even more surprising was the abundance in gold, silver, and copper etched into the mountains. These stories became embedded in Arizona’s early history and were spun into some sensational legends and featured in numerous literary and film adventures. "Treasures of the Santa Catalina Mountains" explores the legends and history of the Catalinas, compiled from out-of-print books, magazines, newspapers and recollections from local prospectors. More than 430 pages and over 1,200 references.

Download or read book A Patriot s History of the United States written by Larry Schweikart and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2004-12-29 with total page 1350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For the past three decades, many history professors have allowed their biases to distort the way America’s past is taught. These intellectuals have searched for instances of racism, sexism, and bigotry in our history while downplaying the greatness of America’s patriots and the achievements of “dead white men.” As a result, more emphasis is placed on Harriet Tubman than on George Washington; more about the internment of Japanese Americans during World War II than about D-Day or Iwo Jima; more on the dangers we faced from Joseph McCarthy than those we faced from Josef Stalin. A Patriot’s History of the United States corrects those doctrinaire biases. In this groundbreaking book, America’s discovery, founding, and development are reexamined with an appreciation for the elements of public virtue, personal liberty, and private property that make this nation uniquely successful. This book offers a long-overdue acknowledgment of America’s true and proud history.
Download or read book The Treasures of Utah written by Daniel Lowe and published by . This book was released on 2020-11-09 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It was never my intent to write a Treasure Book, and I think you will find this is not a treasure book filled with stories regurgitated from other books or sources. This is not a book in which you will find several maps at the end giving possible false hopes of finding the hidden treasures of the past. Do they exist? I believe so however there are many treasure books full of nonsense and as a result of watching my friends fall for some of the false stories and crazy ideas, I decided to write this book in an effort to share my experiences with them hopefully teaching them to always think outside the box, what to look for, what is real and what isn't. My objective is to keep them in a sane world where in the experiences they are about to venture into are those which will be long remembered and cherished, and not those which would be full of regret.I hope that this book has serves its purpose, it is not my intent to instill false hopes into anyone, and today in these economic times it is actually quite easy to do, people in general are so ready to believe anything that will possibly ease there circumstances. Don't take this lightly, don't just jump into it, this book is not a book promising treasures! at least not that of Gold and Silver, but I can promise a treasure of experiences that will be long remembered IF you do it for the right reasons. Get up off of that couch and out away from that boob tube! Take the family! Take the kids but watch them! Take Grandma and Grandpa! But be responsible. There is nothing more worth while than learning the true history that surrounds the places you live or the place you may have visited, the true history of this continent is a history that boggles the mind. There are many things in this book that may seem presumptuous or conjecture, however it wasn't my intent to prove anything to anyone, it was only my intent to share my findings and experiences. There is much information not included in this book that can easily prove some of the seemingly presumptuous statements. What I have put in this book aside from certain edits to preserve some details, I believe is truth.But remember, it is my truth, my belief and my story. Go out and create your own adventure, prove me or disprove it makes no difference. Although it has been many years, my adventure is still just beginning. All that matters to me is that I was able to share a relatively small part of my experiences and hopefully I can share more in the future in one way or another. I do not claim to be a professional anything, I am no different from you, I have problems and weaknesses yet I prefer you focus on the message of the book, not my weaknesses. My hope is that you discover your own treasures as I have, and find them by seeking The Treasures of Utah and the Mysteries of the West.

Download or read book Good Strategy Bad Strategy written by Richard Rumelt and published by Currency. This book was released on 2011-07-19 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Good Strategy/Bad Strategy clarifies the muddled thinking underlying too many strategies and provides a clear way to create and implement a powerful action-oriented strategy for the real world. Developing and implementing a strategy is the central task of a leader. A good strategy is a specific and coherent response to—and approach for—overcoming the obstacles to progress. A good strategy works by harnessing and applying power where it will have the greatest effect. Yet, Rumelt shows that there has been a growing and unfortunate tendency to equate Mom-and-apple-pie values, fluffy packages of buzzwords, motivational slogans, and financial goals with “strategy.” In Good Strategy/Bad Strategy, he debunks these elements of “bad strategy” and awakens an understanding of the power of a “good strategy.” He introduces nine sources of power—ranging from using leverage to effectively focusing on growth—that are eye-opening yet pragmatic tools that can easily be put to work on Monday morning, and uses fascinating examples from business, nonprofit, and military affairs to bring its original and pragmatic ideas to life. The detailed examples range from Apple to General Motors, from the two Iraq wars to Afghanistan, from a small local market to Wal-Mart, from Nvidia to Silicon Graphics, from the Getty Trust to the Los Angeles Unified School District, from Cisco Systems to Paccar, and from Global Crossing to the 2007–08 financial crisis. Reflecting an astonishing grasp and integration of economics, finance, technology, history, and the brilliance and foibles of the human character, Good Strategy/Bad Strategy stems from Rumelt’s decades of digging beyond the superficial to address hard questions with honesty and integrity.
