Flying with the Schweizers
The story of Schweizer Aircraft is the story of the American dream. Three brothers became enamored with flight during the golden age of aviation. Aviation becomes their passion. In 1930, they design, build, and then teach themselves to fly in their first glider. They pursue their dream and create a company that eventually produces over six thousand aircraft. The company's products make aviation history. Bill Schweizer tells the story of those early years - up to the transition of the company in 1981 to the second generation of Schweizers. Paul H. Schweizer picks up the story from there. The Schweizers' entrepreneurial approach to business and refusal to let go of their dream resulted in the company becoming an industry leader in sailplanes, agricultural spray aircraft, light helicopters, covert surveillance aircraft, and unmanned vehicles. The diversity of its aviation products made it unique. At the time the business was sold to Sikorsky Aircraft in 2004, Schweizer Aircraft was the oldest privately-owned aircraft manufacturer in the world. It is a remarkable story that will inspire others with a passion and a dream.
Summary of Peter Schweizer's Profiles in Corruption
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The Clintons’ corruptions began to snowball as they gained power in Washington. They used their public office for personal gain, and ignored conflict of interest guidelines. Their donations to the Clinton Foundation plummeted following Hillary Clinton’s loss in the 2016 election. #2 All the King’s Men is a study in how politicians can wrap their public acts in the glory of the public good, while actually leveraging power for themselves. The Boss is the perfect example of the crusading politician who says he wants to change the system, but ultimately crusades for his own advancement and that of th...
Summary of Peter Schweizer's Throw Them All Out
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 There has been a massive web woven between the federal government and the health care industry over the past half century. Knowing what changes might be in store for these programs and having advance notice of details of other health care legislation could translate into millions of profits. #2 The major pharmaceutical companies were in favor of Obama's health care bill. They met with key members of Congress and worked out the details, so the bill would favor their interests. #3 The idea that politicians would trade stocks while deliberating on major bills is shocking to many people, but this is standard practice in Washington. #4 Some members of Congress, like Jared Polis of Colorado, were advocates of Obamacare. Polis was a tireless advocate for Obamacare, and he sat on two House committees that were central to the crafting and passage of the health care bill.

Summary of Peter Schweizer's Clinton Cash
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The Clintons have become exceedingly wealthy thanks to the millions of dollars they have collected from foreign entities. While there is debate about whether or not these transactions should be limited, there is near-universal agreement that they should be played by Americans only. #2 The best way to investigate whether a politician is doing favors for a major campaign contributor is to look at their behavior patterns. If investigators find that the timing of major campaign contributions occurs immediately before the politician makes a highly favorable decision for the donor, this would be highly suspi...
Summary of Peter Schweizer's Secret Empires
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The American people are deeply divided about one thing: the belief that Washington is rife with government corruption. The concern over widespread corruption is growing. #2 The new form of corruption in Washington involves large sums of money that are being funneled to the families and friends of politicians who are making influential decisions that affect everything from national security to our standard of living. #3 Offshore corruption is when politicians move the location of the deal, the entities, and the players involved, abroad. This allows them to avoid public scrutiny and accountability for the selling of influence. #4 Proxy corruption is when a person or entity provides something of value to a politician in exchange for something else, usually access to the politician’s power. This is the most common form of corruption, and it is dangerous because it makes politicians susceptible to overseas financial pressure.
On Waiting
'This is a quite remarkable book, a pleasure to read. Not only is it clear and informative but also by turns witty, melancholic and insightful. The book is astonishingly erudite, but wears this learning so lightly and so charmingly that it is both easy and gripping to read.' Robert Eaglestone, Royal Holloway, University of London Penelope waits by her loom for Odysseus, Vladimir and Estragon wait for Godot, all of us have to wait: for buses, phone calls and the kettle to boil. But do we know what the checking of one's watch and pacing back and forth is really all about? What is the relationship between waiting and time? Is there an ethics of waiting, or even an art of waiting? Do the interne...
Well, I Wonder
"Have we come to misunderstand children? Have we forgotten that children's consciousness, their minds, is intrinsically different from ours? And is that why we are trying to train them to become 'adults' rather than realizing we need to relearn our way of thinking in order to understand children?" Given the fast pace of modern life, the traditional qualities associated with childhood -- imagination, play, wonder, and even fun itself -- are in danger of being left behind. Surrounded by technology and pressures on parents toward early learning, today's young child is often bounced between television entertainment and computer games and then thoroughly unbalanced by premature intellectualizatio...
Multi-Criteria Decision-Making Method Based on Single-Valued Neutrosophic Schweizer–Sklar Muirhead Mean Aggregation Operators
Schweizer–Sklar (SS) operation can make information aggregation more flexible, and the Muirhead mean (MM) operator can take into account the correlation between inputs by a variable parameter. Because traditional MM is only available for real numbers and single-valued neutrosophic set (SVNS) can better express incomplete and uncertain information in decision systems, in this paper, we applied MM operators to single-valued neutrosophic sets (SVNSs) and presented two new MM aggregation operators with the SS operation, i.e., a single-valued neutrosophic SS Muirhead mean (SVNSSMM) operator and a weighted single-valued neutrosophic SS MM (WSVNSSMM) operator.
