Helminiak J: A Horsepower Life

A Horsepower Life

The Remarkable Journey of Frederick P. Stratton Jr

Escrito en 1913 durante la Edad Dorada de los estafadores financieros, Mi aventura con tu dinero es uno de los libros más extraños, entretenidos y reveladores que existen sobre dinero, especulación, fraude y psicología de masas. No es un libro escrito por una víctima de una estafa: es el testimonio de un estafador que conoció el juego desde dentro. Estados Unidos acababa de vivir décadas de crecimiento explosivo. Surgían fortunas inmensas en ferrocarriles, minería, petróleo e industria, mientras Wall Street y los auges mineros prometían riqueza instantánea a quienes querían creer. En ese mundo apareció George Graham Rice, maestro de la publicidad y promotor de acciones mineras bajo la sombra de la fiebre del oro, capaz de convertir rumores, titulares y esperanzas en una maquinaria para atraer el dinero del público. Las estafas cambian, pero la naturaleza humana no. Por eso este libro sigue resultando sorprendentemente moderno: una mirada directa a las promesas de enriquecimiento rápido, la manipulación bursátil y el deseo de recuperar lo perdido. Traducido al español por María Inés del Valle para Editorial Héroe, es una lectura esencial para quienes desean comprender cómo se venden las ilusiones financieras y por qué tantos siguen comprándolas.

Mi aventura con tu dinero

From the long-tenured head Goldman Sachs - an institution legendary for its culture of success - comes a candid memoir of global leadership in an age of extreme turbulence. 'Lloyd Blankfein is scary smart about people, markets, and life generally. His 10,000 Small Businesses idea proved to be a huge winner, and I personally witnessed the time and effort he devoted to its success. During the 2008-2009 financial crisis, Lloyd acted decisively, and he tells the story of what happened with unique insights.' WARREN BUFFETT 'Lloyd Blankfein has always been a straight shooter, but his journey from public housing to the heights of Wall Street wasn't a straight line. Streetwise is packed with important lessons about leadership, risk-taking, decision-making, and giving back.' MICHAEL BLOOMBERG When Lloyd Blankfein was attacked as a Wall Street fat cat, he had to smile, thinking of his precarious childhood in the notorious public housing projects of East New York, Brooklyn, and attending a high school so chaotic he didn't feel safe leaving class to go to the bathroom in his time there. Harvard University was a total moonshot, and his outsider status never wore off, there or at Harvard Law. When he struck people as street-y, it wasn't Wall Street they were thinking of. But if the chip never quite left Blankfein's shoulder, neither did a wry, resilient spirit and a lucid, democratic intelligence that saw through airs and found talent and ideas in unlikely places. Streetwise is a delightfully honest, sharp and often very funny reckoning with Blankfein's education - in finance, human nature and the workings of the world. It abounds with lessons about leading teams of brilliant, aggressive, competitive people and harmonising them around shared goals; changing when times are hard and when they're good; managing risk; and knowing a crisis is at hand before it swamps you so you can guide your team to the further shore. Blankfein is famed for his calm hand on Goldman Sachs's tiller during the global financial crisis, and that story is told in full here, among many other decisive episodes. A powerful blueprint for the wise stewardship of a cause that is larger than yourself, Streetwise will inspire and inform readers throughout the global business community and beyond.

Mercatus Studies in Political and Social Economy

“In Disrupting Order, authors Nona and Virgil Storr provide a compelling reassessment of the significance of the Burma Road Riot.… Beyond a solid theoretical intervention, the authors are to be commended for the depth of archival and ethnographic research that makes this study an excellent contribution to Bahamian social-political history and larger studies on public disturbances.”—Christopher Curry, author of&nbsp;Freedom and Resistance
"This book provides a fascinating account of the 1942 riot that occurred in the Bahamas.”—Matthew Moran, author of&nbsp;The Republic and the Riots
“It does not glorify unrest but provides a thoughtful framework to understand why such moments arise and how they shape the trajectory of a people.”—J. Kwasi Thompson, Member of Parliament for East Grand Bahama and Former Minister of State for Grand Bahama and Finance
Are riots more than just breakdowns of order? Are rioters just violently and chaotically disrupting the status quo or are they individuals acting together in a surprisingly orderly manner? In Disrupting Order,&nbsp;Nona Martin Storr and Virgil Henry Storr argue that riots are rule-governed, self-generating, emergent phenomena. Viewing riots as what they call “tensive emergent orders” offers a grammar for discussing riots that foregrounds the motivations and actions of individual rioters, the tacit rules that rioters follow, and the socio-political causes and consequences of riots. Applying this grammar to the 1942 riot that occurred in the Bahamas, Storr and Storr demonstrate how the 1942 riot was not just a momentary outburst but a watershed event in the country’s history, ushering in far-reaching socio-political changes. As we move into an era of frequent extreme protests,&nbsp;Disrupting Order&nbsp;urges us to rethink why the threatened and marginalized sometimes speak through riots and gives us a framework to assess the impact of their speaking in this way.
Nona Martin Storr&nbsp;is Senior Affiliated Scholar at the Mercatus Center at George Mason University. Her writings on riots have appeared in the Journal of Caribbean History,&nbsp;Island Studies Journal, and&nbsp;Space and Culture.
Virgil Henry Storr is Don C. Lavoie Senior Fellow in the Mercatus Center's F.A. Hayek Program for Advanced Study in Philosophy, Politics and Economics, and Professor of Economics at George Mason University. Storr’s previous books with Palgrave Macmillan include&nbsp;Do Markets Corrupt Our Morals?&nbsp;and&nbsp;Community Revival in the Wake of Disaster.

Tension, Riots, and Social Change

Disrupting Order

A deep, intimate, and revelatory portrait of RBG from her two authorized biographers who had unprecedented access to the Justice and her papers. Long before she was “The Notorious RBG,” before she was Justice Ginsburg or Judge Ginsburg or Professor Ginsburg, before she was even Ruth, she was Kiki —a nickname bestowed on the squirmy newborn by her big sister. Kiki grew up to be a feminist icon. After she died, she was criticized for not giving a Democratic President the chance to name her successor. What happened in between often gets lost – until now. In Undaunted Justice, Hartnett and Williams offer a full picture of the woman and the jurist, and why those two parts of her were so deeply intertwined. The book contains new revelations about Ginsburg’s life and legacy, her behind the scenes role in several landmark cases, and her relationships with her colleagues on the Court. She was exacting and demanding. Imbued with an innate sense of fairness and a deep personal gift for making alliances when possible. A compartmentalizer at heart with a strong desire to “not look back,” which made possible her legendary productivity but could sometimes hinder her capacity for critical self-reflection. Reserved and socially awkward to some who didn’t know her well, but fiercely loyal and empathetic to clients, colleagues, friends and family. A surprising adventure seeker, even white-water rafting and parasailing, and horseback-riding into her eighties. But ultimately, this biography – more than 20 years in the making and based on exclusive interviews with the Justice, her family, colleagues and friends from all stages of her life, her private papers and even her honeymoon diary -- shows what it took for a woman of her generation not only to conquer the sexist world of the law, but to leave an indelible mark that would better the lives of women–and men–after her.

Justice Undaunted

Lim Siong Guan - The Best is Yet to Be provides insights into Siong Guan's past, his thoughts on the present, and his perspectives on the future, particularly on surviving and thriving in a world of "unknown unknowns".

But this is not a book about Siong Guan - it is about what he thinks readers would find useful as they contemplate their futures and strive to be the best that they can be.

Through Siong Guan's reflections, interviews with people who personally know him well, sharings from people who have worked with him, as well as media articles, you get a glimpse into Siong Guan's humble beginnings, his inspirational public service career from 1969 to 2019, and more. You will see how the future of Singapore and the people he works with have been his consistent focus and constant obsession.

This book shares how Siong Guan exceled in school and his career with a curious and searching mind, as well as a heart of empathy and service - never seeking fame or fortune, he chases opportunities not money, and seeks to serve rather than be served.

Working for Mr Lee Kuan Yew and Dr Goh Keng Swee, the powerful core of Singapore's founding leaders, Siong Guan saw first-hand how Singapore's success as a start-up nation came 
through innovation and creativity. And he believes Singapore's continued survivability requires an unswerving vision with even more innovation and creativity.

Mr Lee Kuan Yew brought Singapore from third world to first. Where does Singapore go from here?

Siong Guan digs into his 50 years of public service for pointers on where Singapore should go and how it can get there, so that Singapore can always be the home of opportunity, where "The Best is Yet to Be"!

The American Meme

Kamal Shair's book is a classic rags to riches story: the village boy, who with determination and education, achieves business success, wealth, more wealth, and then influence and power. What makes it unusual is that it emanates from the Arab world. Rarely among Arabs have individuals from thoroughly modest backgrounds, with no access to links, networks or connections become truly global commercial players. Shair was born in a small town in what was then Transjordan and dragged himself through school (his mother was illiterate), moved to college in Beirut, then sailed off to America (Michigan and Yale) and returned to the Middle East to create a multinational corporate empire engaged in trade, construction and manufacturing. Dar al Handasah - Arabic for House of Engineers - was founded in a small flat in Beirut and today, spans the globe with offices in 37 countries. In its early years, Dar al Handasah fought off competition from established western consultancies to win contracts for prestige engineering throughout the Middle East. Eventually, its activities extended further to Europe, the United States, Africa and Asia. By not following the usual pattern of patronage and favours, Kamal Shair applied a fresh kind of ethic in an environment with a loosely-structured business ethic. In the process, he lived through and witnessed at first hand and at close quarters some of the most dramatic events of the modern Arab world. This is quite an extraordinary tale and a very original prism through which to read the turbulent post-World War II history of the Middle East. At the same time we see the growth, despite all the odds, of one of the world's great engineering and business enterprises in a narrative of epic and inspirational proportions.

A Dark History of ...

Cardiff's history isn't all modern development and gleaming waterfronts. Beneath its bustling streets lies a darker past, filled with tales of crime, punishment, superstition, and suffering. A Dark History Cardiff uncovers the city's more sinister side, from the horrors of Victorian workhouses to the grim legacy of the city's prisons and the Bute family's haunted buildings. The rise of Cardiff as a coal and steel powerhouse came at a great cost, with miners enduring brutal conditions and untold tragedies. Plague and disease ravaged the city, leaving a legacy of fear and desperation. But it's not just the old industries that cast a shadow over Cardiff - it's the eerie stories that still haunt its streets. This book is a journey through the city's dark past, exploring its criminal underworld, mysterious disappearances, and the chilling tales of those who lived - and died - in its darkest corners. Along the way, you'll find places where the past is still very much alive, from its notorious asylums to its crumbling castles. Step into Cardiff's shadowy history and discover a side of the city you may never have imagined.

A Dark History of Cardiff

On 30 May 1767, much against her will at the age of sixteen, Elizabeth Berkeley was married to William Craven, 6th Baron Craven. After thirteen years of marriage, seven children, and affairs reported on both sides, the couple parted permanently in 1780. She then travelled on the continent and maintained a romantic relationship with Alexander, Margrave of Brandenburg-Ansbach. During her years at the Ansbach court, Lady Craven formed an amateur theatre at court. When the Margrave's wife and Lord Craven died, she and Alexander were married and settled in England. Snubbed by her new husband's cousin, George III, and by Marie Antoinette because of her louche reputation, she nevertheless created Benham Park with Capability Brown and numbered Dr Johnson - who described her as 'glamorous and fascinating' - Horace Walpole, William Beckford and Charles Pigott among her friends and acquaintances. Her life was gilded, scandalous, and lived to the full. Her travel writing was as good as any male writer's, and as a a female outsider she could enter where men could not - into the harems of the east for example. Tellingly, Joshua Reynolds could not finish his portrait of Elizabeth with her daughter: perhaps because he could not reconcile the loving mother before him with her celebrity image as fashionable hostess and female playwright.

The Magnificent Lady Craven

Amid unprecedented growth in electricity demand and the rapid buildout of digital infrastructure, energy has become a strategic imperative. A visionary entrepreneur and energy industry pioneer, Michael Polsky has spent the last half-century at the forefront of the innovation, technology, and market shifts that define the energy landscape. With only $500 in cash, four suitcases, and a few words of English, Polsky immigrated to the US from Soviet Ukraine in 1976. Over the next 25 years, he built two successful energy companies before founding Invenergy in 2001. Since then, the company has grown into North America's largest independent energy developer, owner, and operator. Polsky has navigated all forms of politicization and uncertainty to achieve singular scale in the industry, having developed more than 230 projects, including some of the most complex energy infrastructure in the world. Reflecting on his remarkable journey, Polsky draws on his experience across nearly every energy technology to provide a firsthand account of the profound transformation underway. Inexhaustible is a story of deep determination and relentless effort, presenting a pragmatic vision for the future of American energy--and what it will take for us to achieve true energy independence.
