The guide further classifies yettie behaviour and style based on job title and description and educational background and, perhaps most important, number of stock options. The yettie, after all, is rich on paper.

The keeping of journals and diaries became an almost everyday pastime for many Americans in the nineteenth century. Adeline and Julia Graham, two young women from Berrien Springs, Michigan, were both drawn to this activity, writing about the daily events in their lives, as well as their 'grand adventures.' These are fascinating, deeply personal accounts that provide an insight into the thoughts and motivation of two sisters who lived more than a century ago. Adeline began keeping a diary when she was sixteen, from mid-1880 through mid-1884; through it we see a young woman coming of age in this small community in western Michigan. Paired with Adeline's account is her sister Julia's diary, which begins in 1885 when she sets out with three other young women to homestead in Greeley County, Kansas, just east of the Colorado border. It is a vivid and colorful narrative of a young woman's journey into America's western landscape.

It is a commonplace of teaching that you first try to teach the way you were taught. And so people pioneering math circles or informal learning situations often start out in the wrong direction, trying to apply to these situations the teaching methodologies that they experienced in formal classrooms. Julia Brodsky does a wonderful job describing other ways to teach. And maybe 'teach' is the wrong verb: other ways to guide students in learning from and enjoying mathematics. The mathematical examples are tailored to encourage children's exploration.

During the early years of World War II, an entrepreneurial young company did something impossible - they built a 1265-mile pipeline from South Texas to West Virginia, and they did it in only 11 months. From that start, Tennessee Gas Transmission Company became a dominant force in pipeline development. Within a few years, the vision grew to include exploration and production, and then refining and marketing: the birth of the Tenneco Oil Companies. Each would become a major player in its own arena of expertise. The building of the Energy Companies of Tenneco was a feat of unparalleled proportion. The unlikely demise of these three successful businesses in 1988, victims of a corporate strategy gone awry, was an equally unparalleled event. Built from Scratch is the story of the rise and the fall of the three energy strategies. It is also a tribute to the enterprise of the people who worked to create a unique giant in the energy world. A big, bold book with 140 black & white photographs and countless stories of the best days of the oil industry.

Luther’s oft-recounted life made a profound impact on his contemporaries. Some revered him; some hated him. This volume provides a brief narrative of the unfolding events that took place from his birth to a young entrepreneurial family through his turbulent career as university professor and public figure to his death while on a mission to reconcile a feuding princely family. Following parts of this narrative come “interviews” with friends and foes of his time, taken from a variety of sixteenth-century sources that present this dominating reformer and the passions that possessed both those who found him to be God’s end-time prophet and those who hated all that he stood for because they believed it was destroying their world.

Everyone knows the typical entrepreneurial success story: A couple of entrepreneurs have a great idea, work their tails off to establish the business and, before long, they're set for life. Right? Hardly. Turnaround artist Theo van Dijk knows two things: First, young businesses that have survived the start-up years will face periods of stagnation. Second, every venture at some point reaches a complacent plateau, owners take their eyes off the ball, and―wham!―a crisis charges through the door. Entrepreneurs can avoid that fate by watching for signs of trouble and taking the action steps van Dijk outlines. And it's worth the effort, because troubles and crises all have a silver lining―they position the company for greater, long-term growth.Entrepreneurs, predictably, become overconfident just when they think they have it made. A crisis of leadership and/or direction then occurs, and it usually has to do with mismanaged growth. Suddenly, the company can't fill orders, or customers complain about service and delivery. Or family bickering slows momentum just when the company is poised to take off. Theo van Dijk has seen it all, and he knows what the real problem is. During the start-up years, everyone is focused on creating a product and building a list of customers. Informality and flexibility are the rule. But at some point, what used to work no longer does. Survival is once again at stake and the odds are once again very much against the survivors of the early entrepreneurial phase. It's right at this point, van Dijk argues, that the structure of the organization needs to become more formal and built to last. He shows many ways companies in crisis can overcome challenges by changing the way they handle customers, putting new processes and procedures in place, and managing employees in a more professional manner. This work is painful, but it's necessary if the company is to survive trouble and set a course for long-term growth.
