Flappers, flag-pole sitting, and the Ford Model T--these are just a few of the things that instantly conjure up a unique era--the Roaring Twenties. It was the bees' knees, the cat's meow. If you're not familiar with 1920s slang, all the more reason to read this fascinating look at that wild, exciting decade. It began on the heels of one tragedy--the flu pandemic of 1918--and ended with another: the start of the Great Depression. But in between there were plenty of good times--the Model T cars that Henry Ford made were cheap enough for the masses, the new sound of jazz heated up speakeasies and nightclubs during the time of Prohibition. Women, recently given the right to vote, cut their long hair into bobs, wore short skirts and makeup, and danced the Charleston (sometimes in marathons that lasted days). Michele Mortlock hits all the highlights of this heady age that still feels modern even a hundred years later.

In this instant New York Times Bestseller, Geoff Smart and Randy Street provide a simple, practical, and effective solution to what The Economist calls “the single biggest problem in business today”: unsuccessful hiring. The average hiring mistake costs a company $1.5 million or more a year and countless wasted hours.

Refined through the largest research study of its kind ever undertaken, the A Method stresses fundamental elements that anyone can implement–and it has a 90 percent success rate. Whether you’re a member of a board of directors looking for a new CEO, the owner of a small business searching for the right people to make your company grow, or a parent in need of a new babysitter, it’s all about Who. Inside you’ll learn how to • avoid common “voodoo hiring” methods • define the outcomes you seek • generate a flow of A Players to your team–by implementing the #1 tactic used by successful businesspeople • ask the right interview questions to dramatically improve your ability to quickly distinguish an A Player from a B or C candidate • attract the person you want to hire, by emphasizing the points the candidate cares about most In business, you are who you hire. In Who, Geoff Smart and Randy Street offer simple, easy-to-follow steps that will put the right people in place for optimal success.
Find out how this one-time American hero became the country's most notorious traitor. As a young child, Benedict Arnold never shied away from a fight. So when the French and Indian War began in 1754, Benedict was eager to join the militia and fight for the British colonies in America. And when he was eighteen years old, he got his chance. Arnold had no idea that less than twenty years later, he would be fighting against the British in the Revolutionary War. Now the captain of his own militia, Benedict won the admiration of his troops and George Washington when he captured a major British fort. He continued fighting for the colonies and was even considered a patriotic war hero after being wounded in battle. But in 1780, Benedict made a decision that no one could anticipate. He betrayed his fellow Americans and joined the British army. Author James Buckley Jr. takes us through Benedict's life and explains the events that led him to switch sides and become the most famous turncoat in American history.

With black-and-white illustrations throughout, this biography reveals the man behind the magic. This book is not authorized, licensed or endorsed by the Walt Disney Company or any affiliate.
Basements have been cribbed about places for long time now. They have always represented creepy corners, hubs for investigation, and hideouts for all bad things including the poor cobwebs of unsuspecting spiders and what not! Have you ever wondered that basement could be a place you would be proud to talk about, write on, parade about, advocate for; a place to learn, live, lead and pursue all things bright and beautiful. Well, there was one basement that happened to be a haven for me for a couple of years - the place I worked at from dawn to dusk and all the other permutations and combinations of times that fall in this periphery. A place for learning, probing into the unknown, assisting confused researchers, understanding people and what tips or ticks them off, cultivating relationships, culturing the bubbling hub of research and new ventures - that is The Basement of the Research Tower for you.At the end of every dark tunnel, a little glimpse of light is all we hope for. In The Basement of the Research Tower, I hoped to advance the dreams of an Ivy education, a flourishing career, and a sustainable life that promotes self-efficacy while giving me an opportunity to help others. These are some of the reasons why the basement of the research tower was a prized melody for me. It was dark some evenings, for the mind and body got tired of working hard, thinking hard, problem-solving hard; but my spirit never dampened since the basement always indicated that there was a world out there to look out for; a world that needs everybody's help to be a better place; and this very spirit was the caffeine that drove my adrenaline (and a cup or 2 of JAVA from Java City).
