In this book about the world of professional work, Jeff Schmidt demonstrates that the workplace is inherently political and is a battleground for the very identity of the individual, as is graduate school where professionals are trained.
The Great Rescue considers the true meaning of being saved an event that serves as a spiritual rescue. Author Jeff Schmidt was living the biker lifestyle, heavily addicted to drugs and alcohol. He had forsaken God in favor of what the world had to offer. Inevitably, it was what the world had to offer that almost destoyed his life. Hopeless and depressed, Jeff began to search for an answer to his troubles. While driving during the Christmas of 1995, he accidentally tuned into a Christian radio program. The preacher on the radio talked about the mercy of God and a restoration that could be found through faith in Jesus Christ. Desperately in need, he pleaded with God for help and gave his life ...
As a former victim of an automobile accident that spawned a legal issueless claim, Jeff Schmidt, a nonlawyer, clearly understands just what a personal injury victim in a like situation should be most concerned with: prompt and adequate medical care. And, of course, a full and just settlement. Oh, and certainly the lion's share thereof. Through competent self-representation in his claim, made possible by the knowledge he gained from the extensive research he conducted in the area of personal injury law and the claim filing process, Mr. Schmidt acquired a handsome share of his settlement proceeds, owing not one thin dime in legal fees. From that wonderful and triumphant experience, his notion to write a book was born that would culminate in the product before you. In the Driver's Seat is an invaluable, priceless and candid tale of the challenges that beset him, and the measures he took in meeting and successfully circumventing those challenges in his lone quest for a full and just settlement. May the powerful information contained in this book be your guiding light to the level of compensation you deserve.

The face of the pedestrian safety crisis looks a lot like Ignacio Duarte-Rodriguez. The 77-year old grandfather was struck in a hit-and-run crash while trying to cross a high-speed, six-lane road without crosswalks near his son’s home in Phoenix, Arizona. He was one of the more than 6,000 people killed while walking in America in 2018. In the last ten years, there has been a 50 percent increase in pedestrian deaths. The tragedy of traffic violence has barely registered with the media and wider culture. Disproportionately the victims are like Duarte-Rodriguez—immigrants, the poor, and people of color. They have largely been blamed and forgotten. In Right of Way, journalist Angie Schmitt s...
