Protect Yourself from Business Lawsuits
by Thomas A. Schweich
Corporate litigation has spun out of control. Large companies can spend up to 10 percent of their quarterly earnings on legal costs. What can you -- as an employee, CEO, or entrepreneur -- do to protect your company and your career from business lawsuits? In this groundbreaking book, Thomas A. Schweich, himself a lawyer, offers novel and inexpensive advice about how companies and their employees can use commonsense business tactics to avoid potentially devastating litigation. For too long, companies have entrusted outside counsel to resolve disputes through litigation -- often at great expense to their bottom line and to individual careers caught up in the ongoing lawsuits. Now, you can work to resolve these problems yourself by avoiding the Eight Big Mistakes that often result in litigation -- including bad writing, bad estimating, speculation, bad research, side deals, and others. These mistakes are made every day in every kind of company -- from huge conglomerates to one-person start-ups. And everyone from the receptionist to the CEO makes them. One mistake at any level of the company can result in tremendous disruption within the company and a very costly verdict. The author also describes the Four Shields that any company can construct using internal resources to protect itself from the litigation scourge. Protect Yourself from Business Lawsuits is a must for everyone from the CEO of a major corporation to the average employee seeking to protect his or her career to the entrepreneur for whom a lawsuit could mean bankruptcy.

The Bridge : The Building of the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge (Qty: 2)
Talese, Gay
New York, NY: Walker & Company , 2003. Revised edition, 1st printing. Trade Paperback. New/No Jacket. 2003 Trade Paperback, Revised edition, 1st printing; Crisp, clean, square, unmarked, unread new book in matte pictorial wraps; Afterword, Appendix, Index; 161 pp.; NO remainder mark; Towards the end of 1964, the Verrazano Narrows Bridge—linking the New York City boroughs of Brooklyn and Staten Island with New Jersey—was completed. It remains an engineering marvel almost forty years later—at 13,700 feet (more than two and a half miles), it is still the longest suspension bridge in the United States and the sixth longest in the world. Gay Talese, then early in his career at the New York Times, closely followed the construction, and soon after the opening his book The Bridge appeared. Never before in paperback, it remains both a riveting human drama of politics and courage, and a demonstration of Talese’s consummate skills as a reporter and storyteller. His memorable narrative—accompanied, as then, by the astonishingly beautiful working drawings of Lili Rethi—will now captivate a new generation of readers.
