Paperback. Condition: Good. Johnny Depp. Marilyn Monroe. Marlon Brando. Leonardo DiCaprio. Woody Allen. Shanron Stone. What do all of these actors have in common?

You'll discover that Bruce Wilis ordered the final scenes in Striking Distance to be re-shot at a cost of over $750,000 because the original shots exposed his toupee.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. The Two-Term Jinx : Why Most Second-Term Presidents Stumble, and How Some Succeed, Volume 1, is a popular account of the wild presidencies of the two-term Chief Executives, from George Washington to Theodore Roosevelt. It details how most two termers have had unsuccessful or unlucky second terms. Lincoln and McKinley were both assassinated early in their second terms. George Washington was afflicted by ill health, by pirates, and by Alexander Hamilton's departure. James Madison fled to Virginia as British invaders burned his capital down. After the success of his first-term Louisiana Purchase, Thomas Jefferson imposed an ill-fated trade embargo in his second, while his former Vice-President Aaron Burr committed treason. Grover Cleveland was afflicted by cancer, and saw the economy collapse. In filling out Lincoln's second term, Andrew Johnson was impeached. This intriguing book supplies many examples that the so-called second-term curse is not legend at all, but real. As well as instances of some Presidents, such as Teddy Roosevelt, Andrew Jackson, and James Monroe, who managed to beat the second-term fall. It provides insights into how second-term woes can be avoided which can prove useful to any executive, or office worker or student, in any field or career. The book outlines the rivals and colleagues, and political viewpoints, of these famous figures. And the astonishing events and issues-the nation's founding, the naval wars with France and Britain, the Aaron Burr conspiracy, the War of 1812, the Monroe Doctrine, slavery, the role of federal banks and tariffs, the Civil War, Reconstruction, industrialization and the rise of unions and corporations, financial panics and recessions, the Spanish-American War, the Panama Canal, and more-with which they grappled. Volume 2 of The Two-Term Jinx , also due out in 2016, will look at the two-term Presidents from Woodrow Wilson to Barack Obama. This work, although based on rigorous scholarship, is aimed more at a popular audience than an academic one. It tells the story of two-term presidents in a straight-forward, journalistic way. Its main market is the educated lay reader, with a particular interest in history and politics. Moreover, its many specific niche markets include students and teachers in the social sciences, U.S. and presidential politics, the school textbook market, and historians and journalists. Another target audience is readers of how-to business books, with this work providing lessons in successful and unsuccessful executive management at the highest level.…

Paperback. Condition: Good. The extraordinary story of the woman who made plastics recycling possible. Milly Zantow wanted to solve the problem of her town?s full landfill and ended up creating a global recycling standard ? the system of numbers you see inside the little triangle on plastics. This is the inspiring story of how she mobilized her community, creating sweeping change to help the environment. On a trip to Japan in 1978, Milly noticed that people were putting little bundles out on the street each morning. They were recycling ? something that hadn?t taken hold in North America. When she returned to Sauk City, Wisconsin, she discovered that her town?s landfill was nearing capacity, and that plastic made up a large part of the garbage. No one was recycling plastics. Milly decided to figure out how. She discovered that there are more than seven kinds of plastic, and they can?t be combined for recycling, so she learned how to use various tests to identify them. Then she found a company willing to use recycled plastic, but the plastic would have to be ground up first. Milly and her friend bought a huge industrial grinder and established E-Z Recycling. They worked with local school children and their community, and they helped other communities start their own recycling programs. But Milly knew that the large-scale recycling of plastics would never work unless people could easily identify the seven types. She came up with the idea of placing an identifying number in the little recycling triangle, which has become the international standard. Milly's story is a glimpse into the early days of the recycling movement and shows how, thanks to her determination, hard work and community-building, huge changes took place, spreading rapidly across North America.
