Paperback. Condition: Very Good. This book aims to present a picture of one of the world's leading credit rating agencies. Credited as being the first credit rating agency, Moody's stands as the epitome of the rating sector and all that it effects. However, outside of internal and non-public histories compiled within the rating agency itself, the story of Moody's has never been told, until now. However, this is not a historical book. Rather, this book paints a picture of Moody's on a wider canvas that introduces the concept of rating to you, taking into account the origins of the sector, the competitive battles that formed the modern-day oligopoly, and the characters that have each taken their turn on sculpting the industry that, today, is critical to the modern economy.The book is a story of personable people who provided the market with what it needed, but it is more than that. It is a story of conflict, impact, strategy, and most of all the relationship between big business and modern society. Standing as the gatekeeper to the capital markets that form the core of modern society, Moody's represents the very best of what the marketplace can produce, but also the very worst. This story takes in economic crises in the antebellum US, the Panics of the early 1900s, the Wall Street Crash and the Great Depression and, of course, the Global Financial Crisis. It does this because, at the heart of each one was a member of the rating industry or the reporting industry that preceded it. Associated with almost any financial scandal you may care to remember the credit rating agencies, in their often-uncomfortable role as gatekeepers, have their fingerprints on most financial scandals and calamities. This book tells the story of the industry's founding member. Doré, Gustave (illustrator).…

Paperback. Condition: Good. A timeless lesson about life and business from the legendary entrepreneur Henry Ford. Few books about business could be more relevant in today's fast-paced, technology-driven world than Henry's Ford's classic My Life and Work. First printed in 1922, this restored Enlarged Special Edition includes: - Easy to read 7 x 10 pages- Classic type font- Author's original page layouts- New retro-inspired cover design The name Ford is synonymous with automobiles, but Henry Ford was much more than just a name. He was a brilliant inventor, entrepreneur, and a genius at business. Born in 1863, Ford is regarded as the father of the modern assembly line technology and mass production. The founder of the Ford Motor Company saw a future where machines and employees worked side by side for the betterment of business and society. In today's tech landscape fueled by greed and a lack of business ethics, the words of Mr. Ford are more relevant than ever.

Paperback. Condition: Fair. Illustrated. The item might be beaten up but readable. May contain markings or highlighting, as well as stains, bent corners, or any other major defect, but the text is not obscured in any way.

Paperback. Condition: Good. Revisit the romantic age of aeronautics when the rapid development of balloons, dirigibles and airplanes changed the world forever. Archibald Williams wrote this entertaining and informative journey through the early days of air travel for readers of all ages in 1926, covering the earliest ascents in balloons through the Wright Brothers, trans-Atlantic flights. The special edition enlarged reprinting includes: - Enlarged 7 x 10 pages - Crisp digitally re-scanned and enhanced images- Bold new cover design- Author's original page layouts- Classic type font- English printing with illustration captions Chapter by chapter Williams chronicles the feats and failures of those legendary pioneers of flight with enthusiasm and an eye towards the future, where he envisions a time when a machine will be able to alight vertically in a space no larger than the back garden of a small suburban villa, or on a flat roof. Enjoy an informative look at the earliest ascents of balloons, dirigibles, and the first crossings that made history. The rapid development of the mechanical airplane is covered with great interest, as is its application in commercial air travel, exploration, and warfare. For readers looking to enjoy a broad, illustrated overview of airplanes and the history of air travel, Conquering the Air is a delight to read. We shall devote our attention first to the origin of the spherical balloons and to the most notable voyages made in them. Next, we shall see how the balloon was altered in form, provided with motive power of its own, and converted from a mere gas-container and a self-directing aerial ship. Then follows an account of the experiments which led to the production of the first practical flying machine; to be succeeded by a series of chapters devoted to those fights, of successively increasing length, which, as first exemplifying the conquest of the air the grand scale, may justly be termed epoch-making. Table of Contents: Chapter 1: Early Balloon AscentsChapter 2: Further Ascents in Fire-BalloonsChapter 3: The Coming of the Gas BalloonChapter 4: The First Balloon Ascents in Great BritainChapter 5: The First Crossing of the Channel by AirChapter 6: Famous Balloon VoyagesChapter 7: The Coming of the Dirigible BalloonChapter 8: The First Attack on the AtlanticChapter 9: Pioneers of Mechanical FlightChapter 10: The First Crossing of the English Channel by AeroplaneChapter 11: From London to ManchesterChapter 12: A Splendid FutureChapter 13: The First Crossing of the Atlantic by AirChapter 14: A Magnificent SuccessChapter 15: To New York and BackChapter 16: From London to AustraliaChapter 17: From Cairo to the CapeChapter 18: The First Non-stop Flight Across AmericaChapter 19: Aircraft in the Polar RegionsChapter 20: The First Flight Around the WorldChapter 21: From Italy to Japan and BackChapter 22: From Spain to Buenos AiresChapter 23: Lifebelts of the AirChapter 24: Aircraft in WarChapter 25: AirwaysChapter 26: Uses for AircraftChapter 27: The Future of Flying About the Publisher: The CGR Publishing Restoration Workshop uses a vast array of computers and digital scanners to restore, preserve, and enhance the classic works of writers and artists from the 19th century.
