The El Dorado Map
When your pa's an outlaw, you grow up mean, tough, and fast - unless something or someone changes that dirty, dusty path. One day, Kid Cody's path changes with bang. Arrested after a stagecoach shootout and deserted by his pa, the young gunman finds himself alone in the Wild West. Alone, except for a mysterious man in black, who aids Cody in his escape from jail. Once free, Kid Cody sets out to blaze his own trail but instead finds trouble at every turn. He also finds a map to the fabled city of El Dorado, where the streets are supposedly paved with gold. But others are after the map as well, included his good-for-nothing pa. It's only a matter of time until their paths cross again.
The Life and Adventures of Michael Armstrong The Factory Boy
Frances Trollope's novel was originally published as part of the mid-nineteenth century campaign against child labour. The main character, Michael Armstrong is based on the biography of pauper boy Robert Blincoe, who was sold by the St Pancras Work House in London as an indentured apprentice to labour without wages at Lowdham Mill in Nottingham.Following that company's bankruptcy he was sold on to Litton Mill in Derbyshire, owned by a particularly barbaric set of employers.Eventually he ended up in Manchester where he joined the campaign to outlaw the exploitation of children organised by John Doherty and the Manchester Cotton Spinners' Union. It is believed that Charles Dickens based his novel Oliver Twist on the same biography.This edition is published by Northen Grove Publishing Project whose mission is to republish books that have a bearing on the history of Manchester and the struggle for democratic rights, with an explanatory Postscript byManchester writer, Malc Cowle.
Business Adventures
'The best business book I've ever read.' Bill Gates, Wall Street Journal 'The Michael Lewis of his day.' New York Times What do the $350 million Ford Motor Company disaster known as the Edsel, the fast and incredible rise of Xerox, and the unbelievable scandals at General Electric and Texas Gulf Sulphur have in common? Each is an example of how an iconic company was defined by a particular moment of fame or notoriety. These notable and fascinating accounts are as relevant today to understanding the intricacies of corporate life as they were when the events happened. Stories about Wall Street are infused with drama and adventure and reveal the machinations and volatile nature of the world of finance. John Brooks's insightful reportage is so full of personality and critical detail that whether he is looking at the astounding market crash of 1962, the collapse of a well-known brokerage firm, or the bold attempt by American bankers to save the British pound, one gets the sense that history really does repeat itself. This business classic written by longtime New Yorker contributor John Brooks is an insightful and engaging look into corporate and financial life in America.
