Pages : 270
Book Description
‘ Fantastic debut’ Time Out 5-Star Review 'Its randomness is its joy' The Independent 'A picaresque travelogue about chasing an idea through down-home modern America.' The Times What do you do if you want to get underneath the skin of a country, to understand its people and feel its heartbeat? You can follow the rest of the tourists, or you can take the advice of Watergate reporter Bob Woodward’ s source, ‘ Deep Throat’ , and ‘ follow the money.’ Starting out in Lebanon, Kansas – the geographical centre of America – journalist Steve Boggan did just that by setting free a ten-dollar-bill and accompanying it on an epic journey for thirty days and thirty nights through six states across 3,000 miles armed only with a sense of humour and a small, and increasingly grubby, set of clothes. As he cuts crops with farmers in Kansas, pursues a repo-woman from Colorado, gets wasted with a blues band in Arkansas and hangs out at a quarterback’ s mansion in St Louis, Boggan enters the lives of ordinary people as they receive – and pass on – the bill. What emerges is a chaotic, affectionate and funny portrait of a modern-day America that tourists rarely see.

What I Learned Losing a Million Dollars
Author: Jim Paul
Publisher: Columbia University Press
ISBN: 0231164688
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 192
Book Description
Jim Paul's meteoric rise took him from a small town in Northern Kentucky to governor of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, yet he lost it all--his fortune, his reputation, and his job--in one fatal attack of excessive economic hubris. In this honest, frank analysis, Paul and Brendan Moynihan revisit the events that led to Paul's disastrous decision and examine the psychological factors behind bad financial practices in several economic sectors. This book--winner of a 2014 Axiom Business Book award gold medal--begins with the unbroken string of successes that helped Paul achieve a jet-setting lifestyle and land a key spot with the Chicago Mercantile Exchange. It then describes the circumstances leading up to Paul's $1.6 million loss and the essential lessons he learned from it--primarily that, although there are as many ways to make money in the markets as there are people participating in them, all losses come from the same few sources. Investors lose money in the markets either because of errors in their analysis or because of psychological barriers preventing the application of analysis. While all analytical methods have some validity and make allowances for instances in which they do not work, psychological factors can keep an investor in a losing position, causing him to abandon one method for another in order to rationalize the decisions already made. Paul and Moynihan's cautionary tale includes strategies for avoiding loss tied to a simple framework for understanding, accepting, and dodging the dangers of investing, trading, and speculating.

My Life
Author: Joe Gregorio
Publisher: iUniverse
ISBN: 1462037933
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 93
Book Description
Joe Gregorio was born in 1929, on the cusp of the Great Depression. His father abandoned their small family before Joe was born, and his mother passed away due to tuberculosis not long after his birth. Gregorio and his brother then became charges of the State of New York and spent their childhood and adolescence in a series of foster homes, which brought Gregorio life-changing experiences, to say the least. In his autobiography, My Life, Joe Gregorio presents his times of overwhelming difficulty as well as his victories, his darkest despair as well as the guiding lights who led him into a plentiful life. Gregorio's path took him from orphanages to service in the Korean War resulting in severe panic attacks. After his time in the military, he continued to lead a life that valued hard work as well as deep connections to family and friends. Tortuous as it seemed at times, his path was aided by a number of people who shared with him mutual appreciation, love, and spirit. Our present days of strained economic times bear great similarity to the early 1930s, and Gregorio's story of hope and faith can, in turn, be a guiding light for all of us as we move into the future.

The Two Dollar Bill

ISBN: 9781521799529
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 238
Book Description
"You lit his hands-on fire, you crazy bitch," is probably something my mom never thought she would hear. However, she never thought she would marry someone who would punch a two-year-old in the face, especially when the two-year-old is their son, Joey. Joey had to survive with two brutal parents who saw a need to make his, and his siblings, lives a world of fear! Joey's siblings are Marilyn, Ellie, and Jimmy. All four are dehumanized by Lee Grim and his wife. As a military brat, Joey was more brat than military. His parents moved him all over the country and then at the age of 9, two weeks before Christmas, "dad" took off forever. This only made Joey swear he would love Christmas even more, for the rest of his life, and he never disappointed himself. The "new dad" was better, but not by much. He would use food against the kids by not allowing them to eat. This type of beat down was especially hard for a now 10-year-old kid. After Charles Bockus adopted the four kids, it got worse. After one very eventful beating on Joey the family had to make a hastily put together move to Florida. The move brought Joey new friends and new adventures--adventures into alcohol and drugs and cigarettes. By Joey's 18th year he was ready for something new, and made the choice to die at his own hands. The plan, the intervention, the outcome, all help Joey, when in the end, he gets what he wants!
