Seattle has a long tradition of being at the forefront of technological innovation. In 1919, an eager young inventor named Alfred M. Hubbard made his first newspaper appearance with the announcement of a perpetual motion machine that harnessed energy from Earth's atmosphere. From there, Hubbard transformed himself into a charlatan, bootlegger, radio pioneer, top-secret spy, millionaire and uranium entrepreneur. In 1953, after discovering the transformative effects of a little-known hallucinogenic compound, Hubbard would go on to become the Johnny Appleseed of LSD, introducing the psychedelic to many of the era's vanguards and an entire generation. Join author and historian Brad Holden as he chronicles the fascinating life of one of Seattle's legendary figures.

The Reminiscences of Adm. Alfred M. Pride, USN (Ret.)
Naval Institute Press
2015
sidottu
Admiral Pride's early interest in aviation was followed by enlistment in Naval Reserve for World War I in 1917, aviation training, and brief overseas duty in France. Pride augmented to the regular Navy in 1921, later becoming one of the first flag officers who was not a Naval Academy graduate. He served in the scout plane detachment of the battleship USS Arizona (BB-39) in 1920 and then joined the commissioning crew of the first carrier USS Langley (CV-1) as one of her aviators. Pride describes in some detail his work in developing flight deck arresting gear. In 1927 he was in the commissioning crew of the USS Lexington (CV-2) and made the first landing aboard. As a test pilot, he flew a number of experimental planes and made the first autogiro landing on carrier deck. He suffered a serious injury in a plane crash, nearly ending his career. He served in Bureau of Aeronautics and in patrol plane operations with Marc Mitscher. Pride was exec of the the USS Saratoga (CV-3) at the outbreak of World War II and then put the light carrier USS Belleau Wood (CVL-24) in commission as the first skipper and took her to combat in Pacific. He served with Kelly Turner in amphibious air support at the end of the Pacific War. In the late 1940s and early 1950s, Pride commanded carrier divisions in the Sixth Fleet, sandwiched between a tour as Chief of Bureau of Aeronautics. The BuAer period is covered in some detail Pride's oral history as he talks about the aircraft acquisition process and various manufacturers with whom he dealt. His career wound up with tours as Commander Naval Air Test Center, Commander Seventh Fleet, and Commander Air Force Pacific. As fleet commander he had dealings with the Japanese and Nationalist Chinese.

For many companies, fixed assets represent the largest single aspect of their financial statement, yet rarely do they command time proportionate to the magnitude of the investment. This is the first book to show how to implement internal controls for fixed assets. It is a step-by-step guide for developing and maintaining a functioning internal control system that will withstand the closest scrutiny from independent public accountants and the PCAOB. With up-to-the-minute discussion of IFRS and GAAP, this is a must-have guide for controllers, auditors, and CFOs.
"No one has a clearer understanding of valuation than does Al King. He knows the nuts and bolts of this subject, as well as its intricacies, because he has practiced his profession on the factory floor, in the boardroom, and in the courtroom. The mathematics of valuation is easy to understand. Applying the underlying principles to the ever-growing myriad of business assets and issues is very difficult. Only a handful of valuation professionals have the breadth of knowledge and experience necessary to meet that challenge. The author of this book is one of them, and he conveys that experience in a readable style. He writes as he speaks– clearly and to the point. Anyone who wishes to understand the appraisal process as it pertains to business assets needs this book." Gordon V. Smith, President, AUS Consultants "Al King’s Valuation: What Assets Are Really Worth aims to give the reader a deep understanding of what ‘value’ really means–and it succeeds brilliantly. King clearly explains why there is no single ‘correct’ value for many assets, using real-world examples to show that the intended purpose of a valuation must affect the result. Further, he offers examples of business problems (sometimes disasters!) caused by faulty understanding of value. Only someone with a truly deep understanding of the subject can explain it with such crystalline clarity." Robert E. Esch, Retired Executive (General Management), Consultant, and President of Sarah Woods Traditions, Inc. "What a wonderful, commonsense book for guys like me that covers the minefields of cost, price, and value. Every buyer or seller can gain many valuable insights from Al King’s engaging book." Thomas Swanston, Executive Vice President, Bassett Furniture Industries "As usual, Al King has distilled a somewhat complicated area into commonsense business analysis that we can all relate to. His book is a very worthwhile read for professionals and business owners looking to better understand valuation in the broadest sense, as well as how it applies to their particular situation. I highly recommend taking the time to read this book." Mark Santarsiero, President, Marshall & Stevens "Al King has taken a complex topic and separated it into easily understandable components, which he highlights with meaningful examples. The result is a resource that attorneys, accountants, and business people in general can use frequently to explain to clients both the importance of ‘valuation’ and the concepts which define it." Sari Ann Strasburg, Pepe & Hazard LLP "Al King has put his long and vast experience in the field of valuation and accounting to use in Valuation: What Assets are Really Worth. He uses extensive examples to delineate differences between cost, price, and value. He then proposes that future debate should lead to disclosure and use of ‘value’ on a continuous basis. This book has been authored by a true expert in this field." Frank C. Minter, CPA, Chair, Institute of Management Accountants
