Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every investor wants a dependable advantage that enables them to beat the market. Every investor wants an edge. One such edge, long thought to be accessible only to institutional investors, can be found in event-driven investing strategies. These strategies allow you to recognize and take advantage of the effect of corporate events on the price of stocks—events including mergers and acquisitions, stock buybacks, and spin-offs. Now, in The Event-Driven Edge in Investing, accomplished multi-strategy investor Asif Suria provides a simple, in-depth introduction to these highly profitable strategies, making them available to all investors. The Event-Driven Edge in Investing teaches you how to: -Utilise merger arbitrage as a counter-cyclical investment option that can gain better risk-adjusted returns than bonds. -Follow what company insiders are doing to generate new investment ideas. -Track stock buybacks to better understand whether a company’s board of directors and management are aligned about the company’s value. -Use spin-offs to unlock value in either the spin-off or the newly unburdened parent company. With Asif’s guidance, you too can identify and profit from the event-driven edge in investing.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: James was only five years old and travelling home to Devon after holiday with his family in Scotland in 1986, when tragedy struck. The car was involved in a serious accident just outside Bristol, leaving him fighting for survival on life support. When he emerged from his coma, doctors discovered that he was seriously brain damaged, leaving the left side paralysed. Within the blink of an eye James had been transformed from a gregarious, fun-loving little boy into a rag doll. But with a lot of loving support, he began the long and difficult road to recovery. His attitude was inspirational, and for years he threw himself into rehabilitation. As James grew up he began to feel misunderstood and not able to reach the level of normality he so yearned for. He felt that there was no longer any point to his life. When James asked his doctor for help, the reality of his situation suddenly struck. Suicide would be the ultimate failure. This is the story of James' life and how he fought tooth and nail to stay alive. It is both his autobiography and a guide to personal development. Since making the conscious decision not to give up hope, James has gone on to travel the world and teach English abroad. James is open and honest about the things in which he has found great solace during his darkest hours, and he credits the teachings of Kabbalah, an increasingly popular form of Jewish mysticism, for helping him refocus his life. The singer Madonna, a long term exponent of the spiritual teaching, has been an inspirational figure for James. James is now a picture of good health; despite continued weakness in his left side and a limp, he walks confidently and with a purpose.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ever fantasized about quitting your job and starting over? Prioleau Alexander did just that. Here is his laugh-out-loud funny, endearing, and humbling exploration of life at minimum wage. Alexander walked away from a lucrative career as an advertising executive, seeking a life “like that dude on Kung Fu.” Over the next year, he worked minimum-wage jobs as a pizza deliveryman, ice cream scooper, construction worker, ER tech, fast food jockey, and even cowboy on a Montana dude ranch. He reveals a side of America that is rarely seen and questions the stale white-collar notions of a deeper, more meaningful life beyond the cubicle. In You Want Fries With That? Prioleau explores life at minimum wage and proves unequivocally that the grass is not always greener on the other side.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the role of unauthorized water use in the American West (Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Utah, Washington, and Wyoming) and the coming demand for water accountability. Arguing that status quo responses to unauthorized water use (or water theft) and the protection of water rights are largely inadequate, this title examines the far-ranging impacts of this lackluster response on issues ranging from food production to urban livability, and concludes that there will be intense pressure at both the federal and state level to address these issues. Utilizing qualitative and quantitative models and collaborative management literature to identify ideal approaches, this project ultimately seeks to address this major crisis of states’ legitimacy and analyze potential solutions under the ever-expanding threat of climate change.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alistair Darling's long-awaited book will be one of the most reviewed, widely discussed, and saleable political memoirs of recent years. In the late summer of 2007, shares of Northern Rock went into free-fall, causing a run on the bank - the first in over 150 years. Northern Rock proved to be only the first. Twelve months later, as the world was engulfed in the worst banking crisis for more than a century, one of its largest banks, RBS, came within hours of collapse. Back from the Brink tells the gripping story of Alistair Darling's one thousand days in Number 11 Downing Street. As Chancellor, he had to avert the collapse of RBS hours before the cash machines would have ceased to function; at the eleventh hour, he stopped Barclays from acquiring Lehman Brothers in order to protect UK taxpayers; he used anti-terror legislation to stop Icelandic banks from withdrawing funds from Britain. From crisis talks in Washington, to dramatic meetings with the titans of international banking, to dealing with the massive political and economic fallout in the UK, Darling places the reader in the rooms where the destinies of millions weighed heavily on the shoulders of a few. His book is also a candid account of life in the Downing Street pressure cooker and his relationship with Gordon Brown during the last years of New Labor. Back from the Brink is a vivid and immediate depiction of the British government's handling of an unprecedented global financial catastrophe. Alistair Darling's knowledge and understanding provide a unique perspective on the events that rocked international capitalism. It is also a vital historical document.

Book excerpt: "Futile. Self-defeating. Wasteful. Disgraceful. These are the words writer Robert Liston uses to describe the American prison system as a whole. These are also the words used by nearly every official, social scientist, commission, prison administrator - in short by every observer of the system. But while there is agreement that the prison system in the United States does not work, there is no agreement over how to correct it. As he examines this explosive problem, Liston goes far beyond conventional sources, drawing on his own experiences as a reporter and on prisoners' accounts of their existence behind bars. His treatment of the subject is a thorough one, which includes the causes of crime and the problem of law enforcement as well. In the mood of urgency pervading the country, especially since Attica and San Quentin, Liston's rational yet sensitive probing is invaluable. Possible solutions and experiments in prison reform - all of which Liston covers - cannot but help a willing society to cope with the problems of crime and punishment in a new and challenging era"--Jacket.
