Nebraska's Missing Public Enemy
In 1934, a band of desperadoes known as the Ghost Gang terrorized bankers across the state of Nebraska with a series of daring robberies. A posse of lawmen traced the gang to a Gage County ghost town, and the hideout was raided on a cold November night. One by one, all the members of the gang faced prison or death, until only Maurice Denning remained at large. Denning, the son of a respectable farm family, had drifted into bootlegging and, ultimately, bank robbery. For ten years, he was at the top of the FBI's list of Public Enemies, but incredibly, he was never found. Although rumors about his whereabouts swirled for decades, his final fate remains a mystery. In this book, writer and researcher Brian James Beerman brings the fascinating true story of the most wanted man in Nebraska back to light and recounts the circumstances surrounding his mysterious disappearance.

Carter Lake: A Slice of Iowa in Nebraska
When a flood redirected the Missouri River in 1877, a small patch of Iowa landed in Nebraska--and a new town was born. Carter Lake incorporated as an independent city in 1930 as Iowa's only community west of the Missouri River. But the town continued to face Nebraska's continued annexation attempts and floods. The Flood of 1952 covered the town in three feet of water. Meanwhile, uncertainty over the state lines led gamblers to flock to Carter Lake for illicit dogfighting, cockfighting, boxing matches and alcohol. Celebrated journalist John Schreier illustrates how the border town once known for its illicit nightlife has evolved into a growing bedroom community beneath the Omaha skyline.
Efeito Bola de Neve- A biografia de Warren Buffett, o maior investidor do mundo - 2a Edição
Este é o derradeiro livro sobre a vida de um dos homens mais respeitados e fascinantes do mundo: Warren Buffett. O lendário investidor autorizou, pela primeira vez, a elaboração da sua biografia e concedeu a Alice Schroeder acesso ilimitado a familiares, amigos e parceiros — além de horas de conversa a dois. Esta biografia mostra o homem por trás do mito e revela como a sua obstinação e talento começaram a ser lapidados desde tenra idade — aos seis anos, vendia pastilhas elásticas, aos sete pediu de presente um livro sobre o mercado de ações, aos dez fez a sua primeira visita à bolsa de valores e, aos onze, o seu primeiro investimento. Dando a conhecer a trajetória de Buffett desde a infância, nos anos que se seguiram à Grande Depressão até aos dias de hoje, Efeito Bola de Neve conta surpreendentes episódios da vida do empresário, que sempre se pautou por uma conduta ética e disciplinada, tratando investidores como sócios, e acreditando, acima de tudo, na honestidade, seja como investidor, conselheiro ou conferencista.

Dieses Buch macht deutlich, dass auch Warren Buffett nur ein Mensch ist wie jeder andere auch, mit Stärken und Schwächen.
