Myths, Lies and Downright Stupidity: Get Out the Shovel - Why Everything You Know is Wrong - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: Now in paperback: The major national bestseller that the New York Times says "tosses sand on liberal sacred cows"John Stossel -- award-winning journalist, tireless consumer-rights crusader, and anchor of ABC's newsmagazine 20/20 -- has built his reputation on his willingness to debunk conventional wisdom, no matter the source. In his latest New York Times bestseller, which has sold more than 200,000 copies in hardcover, he busts the myths, lies, and downright stupidity clogging media outlets on all sides of the spectrum. Taking a shovel to the heaps of misinterpretations and outright mistakes passing for "fact" these days, Stossel proves:--That contrary to popular belief, Americans have more free time now than ever before; --How DDT could actually save millions of lives annually, if only we hadn't been wrongly convinced it caused cancer; --That Republicans don't shrink government -- they expand it; --Why bottled water is a rip-off (hint: not only doesn't it taste better than tap, it's no healthier either!); --How "defective product" lawsuits end up depriving us of safer products; --Why it's okay to marry your cousin; --And much, much more.Bursting with facts, sharp insights, and plain old common sense, Myths, Lies, and Downright Stupidity is a modern muckraking classic.

Flip: How to Turn Everything You Know on Its Head--and Succeed Beyond Your Wildest Imaginings - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: Placing emphasis on flexible, counter-intuitive decision-making, a pioneering young management guru calls for a brand new way of doing business in the current sticky economic conditions, where conventional wisdom fails. Why is Microsoft turning a blind eye to software piracy in China? Why has Toyota capped production of the best-selling Scion? Why did Rupert Murdoch risk $580 million on MySpace? "Business today requires new perspectives," argues Peter Sheahan, one of the youngest and fastest-rising international business consultants. In Flip he shows that to succeed in turbulent financial times, companies must distinguish themselves by finding a new way of doing business, one that systematically re-examines every single aspect of running a company. Flip reveals what the superstars of modern business have in common: an ability to "flip" - to think counter-intuitively and then act boldly, with no regard for business-as-usual conventions. The only rule: there are no rules. Those who heed Sheahan's proven advice will be well placed to join other "flipstars" including entrepreneurs Richard Branson and Rupert Murdoch, and such visionary companies as Google, Toyota and Apple. By learning to "flip" you can future-proof your organisation and your career while those who run with the pack and stick to the business school curriculum will find themselves perilously left behind. Presenting perennial wisdom in a fresh new way, Sheahan shows today's decision makers how to embrace change and successfully operate in a challenging economy that runs on new ideas.
As You Like It (Webster's Thai Thesaurus Edition) - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: Webster’s paperbacks take advantage of the fact that classics are frequently assigned readings inEnglish courses. By using a running English-to-Thai thesaurus at the bottom of each page, thisedition of As You Like It by William Shakespeare was edited for three audiences. The first includesThai-speaking students enrolled in an English Language Program (ELP), an English as a ForeignLanguage (EFL) program, an English as a Second Language Program (ESL), or in a TOEFL® orTOEIC® preparation program. The second audience includes English-speaking students enrolled inbilingual education programs or Thai speakers enrolled in English-speaking schools. The thirdaudience consists of students who are actively building their vocabularies in Thai in order to takeforeign service, translation certification, Advanced Placement® (AP®) 1 or similar examinations. Byusing the Webster's Thai Thesaurus Edition when assigned for an English course, the reader canenrich their vocabulary in anticipation of an examination in Thai or English.Webster’s edition of this classic is organized to expose the reader to a maximum number ofdifficult and potentially ambiguous English words. Rare or idiosyncratic words and expressions aregiven lower priority compared to “difficult, yet commonly used” words. Rather than supply a singletranslation, many words are translated for a variety of meanings in Thai, allowing readers to bettergrasp the ambiguity of English, and avoid them using the notes as a pure translation crutch. Havingthe reader decipher a word’s meaning within context serves to improve vocabulary retention andunderstanding. Each page covers words not already highlighted on previous pages. If a difficultword is not translated on a page, chances are that it has been translated on a previous page. A morecomplete glossary of translations is supplied at the end of the book; translations are extracted fromWebster’s Online Dictionary.

Some Day You'll Thank Me for This: The Official Southern Ladies' Guide to Being a ''Perfect'' Mother - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: Tand we do—every day. Just for starters, we wouldn’thave had the material for our books without Ann Gayden Calland Julia Morgan Hall Hays, our wonderful Southern mothers.We miss them every day, and, whenever we think we might beturning into them, we thank our lucky stars. Both were greatDelta conversationalists, and both gave the lie to William ButlerYeats’ contention that souls are had only by those who are “notentirely beautiful.” They were belles of every ball and quietlycourageous—and they knew all the gossip. (P.S. We never sit onstrange commode seats or say s-t-i-n-k.)We can’t thank our agent Gail Ross enough—without Gailwhat we have come to jokingly refer to as our “pastel trilogy”(our three “Southern lady books” have pastel covers) would notvAcknowledgmentsexist. Gail shaped and sold the idea and has supported usthroughout the process.We have also been fortunate to work with a great team atHyperion. We especially thank Leslie Wells for her deft touchwith prose and because, a Virginian transplanted to New York,she still speaks Southernese—what more could we ask? Well,one more thing you get in Leslie is an editor who is consider-ate of authors and gets back to you so quickly you think she’sable by some mystical means to read your copy almost beforeyou’ve hit the “send” button. Anybody who writes for a livingknows how much this means.We are indebted to a host of friends and relatives who sharedstories about their mothers and allowed us to use their treasuredrecipes; we must also thank Gayden’s witty nephew Hugh Dick-son Gayden Miller for essential help with the sidebars.We originally considered making a list of great Southernmothers we have known, mothers of our friends, mostly, but werealized this was too fraught with peril—we inevitably wouldleave out somebody whose charm and kindness has nourishedus. So let us just say a general thanks to Southern mothers wehave know
