Swank J: History of the Manufacture of
Iron in all Ages, and Particularly in t

History of the Manufacture of Iron in all Ages, and Particularly in the United States From Colonial Times to 1891. Also a Short History of Early Coal

For the first time, THE BUSINESS INVESTOR explains in practical terms how to apply Warren Buffett's investment hurdle rate, using Buffett's own words as the foundation.

The book lays out the Warren Buffett path to financial freedom in a groundbreaking, step-by-step guide that takes you from mindset to methodology and is designed for investors who want to think and act like long-term business owners. Building on Benjamin Graham's original foundation in The Intelligent Investor, the book expands it with Warren Buffett's principles of owning great businesses-run by excellent management-and investing only when the odds are clearly in your favor. The focus is on achieving attractive, long-term returns based on a company's underlying earnings.

The book also introduces a powerful new tool that enables investors to analyze and optimize their own investment profile and circle of competence. This tool was developed by Peter Gustafson through his lectures in Omaha, Nebraska, at the executive management seminar The Genius of Warren Buffett.

THE BUSINESS INVESTOR

Firestorm America is not just the story of a wildfire. It is the story of a country crossing a threshold.


In January 2025, Los Angeles burned in winter. Neighborhoods in Pacific Palisades and Altadena were consumed by wind driven flames under conditions once thought impossible for that time of year. Evacuations unfolded in real time. Smoke choked the region. And one of America's most iconic cities was forced to confront a terrifying question: if this can happen here, what comes next.

Drawing from the on the ground reporting of Jacob Soboroff, Firestorm America delivers a gripping, deeply human account of the blaze that reshaped Los Angeles and signaled a new era of disaster. Moving from the first frantic evacuation texts to the front lines of live reporting, from charred neighborhoods to halls of power, this book blends firsthand storytelling with investigative depth and scientific clarity.

This is a narrative about fire, but also about systems. About how climate change, land use, infrastructure, policy failures, and human decisions converged into a single catastrophic moment. It examines why the fires burned so fast and so hot, why preparedness fell short, and why recovery is proving as complex as the disaster itself. Along the way, it amplifies the voices of survivors, firefighters, scientists, and officials grappling with loss, accountability, and an uncertain future.

At its heart, Firestorm America is a love letter to Los Angeles and a warning to the nation. It shows how wildfire has moved from the margins to the center of American life, transforming fire from a seasonal emergency into a permanent condition. The book does not offer easy answers, but it offers something more urgent: clarity about what is at stake if the lessons of this fire are ignored.

Powerful, unflinching, and impossible to dismiss, Firestorm America captures a defining moment when disaster became diagnosis and the future arrived in flames.

A True Account of the Blaze That Consumed Los Angeles - From the Reports of Jacob Soboroff

Firestorm America

To paraphrase Sir Winston Churchill, never has so much pornography been available to so many people for so little. This is the story of how the online adult industry has plummeted from its lofty heights of the late 1990s, when a savvy Web entrepreneur could charge premium prices to thousands of eager subscribers. It is also the story of how the law has completely failed to keep pace with the technological innovations that boosted and then savaged the online adult industry. It concludes by analysing the social impact of virtually unlimited pornography of every description, available to all ages at the click of a button. Useful reading for the general reader and for students and researchers involved with business strategy, the history of technology, cultural studies, sexuality, media studies and technology more generally.

Traditionally, the presence of pornography in American society has been mediated by two primary factors: legal restrictions and the relatively high cost of the product. The degree of legal restrictions on adult material has varied from era to era and community to community, but the porn premium has remained relatively constant. Given this, these should be heady days for adult business owners. Thanks to the Internet, distribution costs are virtually nil and even the most hardcore content is easily accessible in the smallest coastal hamlet and most rural farmhouse in America. Adult industry balance sheets should be bulging with profit. But in reality, far from it. The World Wide Web has completely eradicated both the legal restrictions and premium cost that used to govern adult industry economics. To paraphrase Sir Winston Churchill, never has so much pornography been available to so many people for so little. This is the story of how the online adult industry has plummeted from its lofty heights of the late 1990s, when a savvy Web entrepreneur could charge thousands of eager subscribers premium prices. It is also the story of how the law has completely failed to keep pace with the technological innovations that boosted and then savaged the online adult industry. It concludes with a detailed analysis of the social impact of virtually unlimited pornography of every description, available to all ages at the click of a button.Accessible to the general reader, this book will appeal to those who want to know more about the adult entertainment industry in America and will prove useful reading for students and researchers involved with a wide variety of academic disciplines including business strategy, the history of technology, cultural studies, sexuality, media studies and technology more generally.

The Women's Career Strategy Book that Corporate America Doesn't Want You to Read.

You've done everything right. Exceeded every goal. Outperformed every metric. And somehow, the guy who talks the loudest still got the promotion. If you're a woman navigating workplace power dynamics in male-dominated industries, you already know: the system wasn't built for you. Power Talks BS Walks is the career book for women who are done playing by rules that were never designed for them to win.

The 48 Laws of Power for Women taught you to recognize the game and hold your ground. Power Talks BS Walks gives you the strategy and tools to dominate it.

This is not another women's self-help book telling you to "lean in" or "find your voice." This is a tactical career advancement guide built from over 20 years of hard-won experience navigating male-dominated workplaces-from engineering to tech to the executive boardroom. Mary breaks down the unwritten rules of office politics, workplace strategy, and professional influence that no one teaches women in business.

Inside, you'll master:
Make It Look Easy, Get Paid Like It's Hard - own your professional value
Build Your Own Damn Door - stop waiting for permission from gatekeepers
Dismantle the Network - decode the boys' club before it works against you
Stop Chasing, Start Attracting - flip the power dynamic in your favor
Your Perfection Is Making Them Hate You - why overperforming backfires
Quit While You're Winning - know when leverage is at its peak



PLUS powerful bonus strategies:
Workplace Personas Decoded: Identify the toxic coworkers and corporate personalities - from The Viper to The Silent Calculator - before they undermine you
The Power Circle Method: Build a strategic professional network and master the engagement strategies that create influence and authority beyond your job title



Whether you're a woman in leadership navigating gender bias, an ambitious professional facing the glass ceiling, or someone who's simply tired of watching confident BS outperform quiet competence - this book gives you the workplace confidence and career strategy tools to stop surviving and start dominating.

The 48 Laws of Power for Women was the warm-up. Power Talks BS Walks is the whole performance.

48 power talks. 48 power moves. Zero apologies.

10 Little Rules for Navigating Change

Welcome to Faith &amp; Business: A 52-Week Devotional for Christian Entrepreneurs and Business Leaders.This devotional was born out of a simple but powerful truth: Your business is your ministry!Whether you're building a brand from scratch, managing a thriving company, freelancing, or leading a team, you are not just a business person - you are a Kingdom representative in the marketplace. You carry the light of Christ into boardrooms, coffee shops, contracts, spreadsheets, and customer service conversations. You are part of God's plan to transform culture, serve others, and create meaningful value-all through the work of your hands.Yet this calling is not easy. Business can be lonely, risky, overwhelming, and often deeply personal. It's a world where faith is tested in practical ways: in late payments, employee tensions, quiet seasons, tough decisions, and the constant pressure to perform. That's why this devotional exists-to serve as a weekly anchor, helping you reconnect your business life with your spiritual life, so the two become one seamless expression of who you are in Christ.God cares deeply about your work. Scripture is filled with builders, stewards, entrepreneurs, and marketplace leaders-from Abraham and Lydia to Nehemiah and the Proverbs 31 woman. These weren't just Sunday saints; they were everyday workers who honored God through faith-filled leadership, generosity, diligence, and trust. In the same way, you've been called to build, lead, serve, and create-on purpose and for a purpose.

This short book is intended to be an easy to read reference to a person that is just learning about artificial intelligence and AI Agents It is definitely not for people that know about the subject. The book is not perfect, because who knows where to stop and start in this complicated arena.
There are many people who believe that intelligence is a subject that is related to human being and not to machines. Calling it artificial is not enough. At the Dartmouth conference in 1956, Simon and Newell suggested "Complex Information Processing." Perhaps, that could have been a better name for a new specialist discipline.
There are many books already published on artificial intelligence, and for the most part, they are very good. My guess is that there are about 500 of them, and there is not a bad one in the bunch. The really good books, for the specialist, are hard to read for people not in the field of artificial intelligence. What about the poor joe that just wants to find out what going on and wants to keep his or her job. What about the executive that just wants to make sure his charge is heading in the right direction. What about the person that wants to buy a gift for someone that might want to know about artificial intelligence but is afraid to ask. This book is for you.
This was a difficult book to write because we are at a difficult time in its development. Many thanks to Janice, Kathryn, Karen, and grand kids Sara, Daniel, Leah, Matt, Katie, and Tom for their assistance and kindness.
