When Bette Frick launched her freelance writing and editing business in 1990, not having completed formal business training meant she would make more than a few mistakes. But not applying MBA models meant that as her company grew, her business model fit her rather than some business-school template. As Bette learned her (sometimes) painful lessons, she shared them in her column, Business Matters, in Intercom, the magazine of the Society for Technical Communication (STC), from 2003 to 2012. Business Matters republishes those articles, substantially revised and arranged thematically, along with several new chapters.
The 4,000 immigrants listed in this volume were Protestant refugees from Europe who came to South Carolina on the encouragement of an act passed by the General Assembly of the Colony on July 25, 1761, called the Bounty Act. Arranged chronologically, and taken verbatim from the original Council Journals, 1763-1773, the information given in the certificates and petitions for lands under the Bounty Act includes the date and the location and acres granted. In some cases the immigrants are listed with their age, country of origin, and name of the vessel on which they arrived. An excellent index provides references to more than 4,000 names in the text. This book is indispensable in attempting to locate an ancestor's place of settlement in South Carolina.

"Mr. Schwab is a genius. I have never met his equal." So stated renowned industrialist Andrew Carnegie about Charles M. Schwab, successively the president of Carnegie Steel, U.S. Steel, and Bethlehem Steel. Though an inveterate gambler and womanizer, Schwab held a smile and charisma that got him in and out of multiple adventures. This biography presents the complex legacy of the man Thomas Edison once called the "master hustler," from his start as a stake-driver in the engineering corps to his ascendancy to American steel magnate.
