Reviews of A Modern Approach to Graham and Dodd Investing "What happened in the market? What lies ahead? Investors should be required to read Tom Au’s A Modern Approach to Graham and Dodd Investing. Tom delivers a commonsense road map for baby boomer professional and individual investors navigating the treacherous investment waters. This is the best investment book I have read in twenty-three years." –Scott Kingsley Swift, Vice President, Merrill Lynch, CFM "Many times I’ve found myself reading through investment classics, wishing that they were more relevant to our present world; the information companies report, market conditions, today’s business culture, and the expectations modern stock investors have developed based on a large set of alternative investment choices. Finally, my wish, and those of other investors who’ve felt the same, has been granted by Thomas Au and his soon-to-be classic, A Modern Approach to Graham and Dodd Investing." –Marc H. Gerstein, Director of Investment Research, Reuters "In an age of easy money and easy credit, Thomas Au’s A Modern Approach to Graham and Dodd Investing reminds us that successful investing is a product of long-term prudent strategies based on disciplined investment decisions. This work is an excellent and timely in-depth analysis on value investing which is a must read, particularly during these volatile financial times." –David Marshall, President, Emerson Partners, LLC "This is an informative, readable book that presents a comprehensive framework for practitioners of deep value investing. Thomas Au, a proven investor in the value world, shows that the principles of value investing can be applied to a broad range of investment issues from analyzing the key line items on the corporate balance sheet to international investing and dynamic asset allocation. Au’s underlying message is that value investors have long time horizons, both in looking back at historical precedents and in looking forward, well beyond the next quarterly earnings report. Most importantly, the book is filled with real-time, real-world examples where Au applied the value approach to construct a winning portfolio. Au is gold!" –Leland Crabbe, Portfolio Manager, Credit Suisse Asset Management "A refreshing look at the methods for ensuring a margin of safety in one’s investments developed by one of the true masters. Sadly, in this liquidity-driven bubble market, investors have once again lost their way. This book will grow in acknowledgement as today’s stock market ‘sheep’ are once again led to their slaughter for having ignored such wisdom." –Richard J. Greene, Thunder Capital Management "Tom Au’s update of Graham and Dodd’s security analysis is a must read for any serious investor. With the technology bubble behind us, investors have come back to the proven principles of value investing. Tom has put together a powerful framework for value investing in the twenty-first century." –Gerard Watson, Managing Director, Santander Investments

The Legacy of Billy Graham

The Legacy of Billy Graham

Westminster/John Knox Press,U.S.
2008
nidottu
Perhaps no individual has had more of an effect on twentieth-century American Christianity than the renowned evangelist Billy Graham, whose work has been widely influential in arenas from the rising evangelical movement to the White House. Although Graham's influence on evangelicalism has long been recognized, Michael G. Long's The Legacy of Billy Graham is the first book to examine his impact on mainline Christianity and on American civil religion. With noted contributors including John B. Cobb Jr., Harvey Cox, Gary Dorrien, Karen Lebacqz, Thomas G. Long, Mark Lewis Taylor, and J. Philip Wogaman, this critical but generally appreciative volume assesses Graham's career from the perspectives of preaching and theology, social issues, and his engagement with his contemporaries and then concludes with two retrospectives on his legacy.

Framley Parsonage: Introduction by Graham Handley

Framley Parsonage: Introduction by Graham Handley

Anthony Trollope

Everyman's Library
1994
sidottu
In the course of last century, Anthony Trollope's fictional county of Barset has become one of English literature's most 'real', most celebrated landscapes. Framley Parsonage--the fourth of his engrossing Barsetshire novels--concerns itself with the drastic misjudgements of an amiable but naive and overly ambitious young clergyman. Through its shrewd and excellent social comedy and subtle, sometimes wicked, grasp of political and ecclesiastical manoeuvering, Trollope brings a whole local universe to convincing and triumphant life.

The Life of Graham

The Life of Graham

Bob McCabe

Orion (an Imprint of The Orion Publishing Group Ltd )
2006
pokkari
This is his official biography written with the full cooperation of the Pythons and Chapman's partner David Sherlock - with full access to unseen pictures.Graham Chapman was the quiet, pipe-smoking Python who qualified as a doctor. He was the policeman's son whose tweed-jacketed demeanour belied his true anarchic nature. More than any other Python he lived the complete lunacy of the show. Chapman was John Cleese's writing partner from their early days at Cambridge Footlights right through the Monty Python years. But it was Chapman's off-screen antics that are closest to the surreal qualities of a Python sketch. Terry Gilliam remembers how he would go into a restaurant and suddenly disappear: "He'd be under somebody's table licking the girl's feet while her date was there!" Chapman was a founder member of an infamous drinking club with The Who's drummer, Keith Moon. Chapman had a wine cellar stuffed full with bottles of gin and at the height of his drinking - which started out as a nerve-calmer for performances - he would consume eight pints of gin a day. He fearlessly flaunted his homosexuality at a time when it was certainly not the done thing. To add further mix to his personal life, Chapman and his partner David Sherlock adopted a 14-year-old boy. Graham Chapman died in 1989 with brilliant comic timing on the eve of the 20th anniversary of the first recording of Python. A huge celebratory Python party was cancelled as a result and Terry Jones harrumphed Chapman's death as "the greatest act of party-pooping in history". Bob McCabe has had the full co-operation of Sherlock and the Pythons in writing this fascinating and revealing account of the life of one of British comedy's best-loved figures.

From Billy Graham to Sarah Palin

From Billy Graham to Sarah Palin

D G Hart

William B. Eerdmans Publishing Company
2011
pokkari
From Billy Graham to Sarah Palin provides an iconoclastic new history of the entrance of evangelical Christians into national American politics. Examining the key players of the "Religious Right" -- Billy Graham, Jerry Falwell, Chuck Colson, James Dobson, Pat Robertson, and many others -- D. G. Hart argues that evangelicalism is (and always has been) a bad fit with classic political conservatism. Hart shows how the uneasy alliance of these unlikely political bedfellows has contributed directly to the fragmentation of today's conservative movement. He contends that the ongoing burden of reconciling the progressive moral idealism of religious conservatives with the sober realism of political conservatives increasingly threatens this precarious partnership. Moreover, Hart suggests that evangelicals are unlikely to remain politically conservative in the long term unless they stop looking to big government to solve societal woes at home and abroad and at last embrace classic small-government conservatism for its own sake.

Frank Porter Graham and the 1950 Senate Race in North Carolina

Frank Porter Graham and the 1950 Senate Race in North Carolina

The University of North Carolina Press
2011
nidottu
The tumultuous North Carolina Senate primaries of 1950 are still viewed as the most bitter chapter in the state's modern political history. The central figure in that frenzied race was the appointed incumbent, Frank Porter Graham, former president of the University of North Carolina (1931-49) and liberal activist of national stature.As a Senate candidate, Graham was unrelentingly attacked for both his social activism and his racial views, and the vicious tactics used against him shocked his supporters and alarmed national observers. Peeling away the myths that have accumulated over the years, the authors present the first thoroughly researched account of Graham's eventual defeat by Raleigh attorney Willis Smith. The result, a balanced study of North Carolina politics at mid-century, is a convincing explanation of the 1950 election.Using the campaign as a prism, the authors assess the factional struggles within the state, showing that Graham was defeated by a massive loss of support among white voters in eastern North Carolina. The principal force behind this switch was the fear promulgated by the Smith campaign that a vote for Graham was a vote to end statutory segregation in North Carolina. The authors also offer the fullest portrait to date of Frank Porter Graham as political candidate and social reformer. They examine his career as an educator and public activist, the steps that led to his unorthodox appointment, and his strengths and weaknesses as a political candidate.Frank Porter Graham and the 1950 Senate Race in North Carolina is based on manuscript materials never before examined, on interviews with more than 50 campaign participants and associates of both Graham and Smith, and on a thorough analysis of newspaper coverage and campaign literature.A UNC Press Enduring Edition -- UNC Press Enduring Editions use the latest in digital technology to make available again books from our distinguished backlist that were previously out of print. These editions are published unaltered from the original, and are presented in affordable paperback formats, bringing readers both historical and cultural value.

Onstage with Martha Graham

Onstage with Martha Graham

Stuart Hodes

University Press of Florida
2021
pokkari
When World War II was over, a young bomber pilot with an itch for movement and action hung up his cap and learned another way to fly. Onstage with Martha Graham is the story of Stuart Hodes, a versatile and influential dancer who got his start with Martha Graham, an icon of modern dance. His memoir is a rare firsthand view of the dance world in the 1940s and through the end of the twentieth century.One of the few male dancers in Graham's company—and in the New York dance scene at the time—Hodes offers a unique perspective and a one-of-a-kind narrative. He describes how he fell into the art by chance, happening to walk into Graham's studio one day. He was soon hooked. He documents his experiences, travels, passions, and loves while learning from and performing with Graham, during which time he saw most of the United States, much of Europe, and some of Asia. Advancing quickly, he eventually danced as Graham's partner in Appalachian Spring, Deaths and Entrances, Every Soul Is a Circus, and Errand into the Maze.In his portrait of Martha Graham, who was the center of his dancing world, Hodes recounts conversations, revelations, bouts of temper and creativity, the daily ritual of deeply physical dancing, and the never-ending search for artistic validity. Direct, often humorous, and always authentic, Hodes shares his delight in dance as both hard work and a fantastic adventure.

Innocence in Graham Greene's Novels

Innocence in Graham Greene's Novels

Shoko Miyano

Peter Lang Publishing Inc
2006

Graham Greene once wrote that -Innocence is a kind of insanity.- This book examines the many shades of innocence in Greene's characters: the -blank innocence, - -depraved innocence, - and -absurd innocence- of Anthony Farrant; the piteous innocence of Pinkie; the simple innocence of Raven; the pure innocence of Father Quixote; the paradoxical innocence of the Whisky Priest; the inverted innocence of Sarah Miles; the faithful innocence of Father Rivas, the Dog-Ears Priest; the intrusive innocence of Doctor Fischer; and the playful innocence of Harry Lime. The complex concept of innocence is found to be a prevailing theme in Greene's novels."

The Fictions of Stephen Graham Jones

The Fictions of Stephen Graham Jones

University of New Mexico Press
2016
sidottu
Even as Stephen Graham Jones generates a dizzying range of brilliant fiction, his work has remained strikingly absent from scholarly conversations about Native and western American literature, owing to his unapologetic embrace of popular genres such as horror and science fiction. Steeped in dense narrative references, literary and historical allusions, and experimental postmodern stylings, his fiction informs a broad array of literary and popular conversations.The Fictions of Stephen Graham Jones offers the first collection of scholarship on Jones's ever-expanding oeuvre. The diverse methodologies that inform these essays - from Native American critical theory to poststructuralism and gothic noirism - illuminate the exciting complexity of Jones's narrative worlds while positioning his works within broader conversations in literary studies and popular culture. Jones challenges at every turn the notions of what constitutes Native American literature and what it means to be a Native American writer. Contributing editor Billy J. Stratton foregrounds this heavily contested question of identity and its ongoing relevance to readers and critics.

This collection of seventeen interviews covers fifty years.

The interviews here are divided chronologically into four periods, loosely related to his subject matter or to his reputation at the time of the interview.
