This book is a collection of columns written from March 2018 to February 2019, in which I discuss everything from thrift shops to psychics, to ubiquitous satisfaction surveys, to the fun of installing a new floor, ghost encounters in hotels, and other events of a year in my life. I also dig deep into newspaper archives to get a look at experiences of others in the 19th and 20th century, and how they compare to our lives today.

American naval hero and Confederate secret agent James Dunwoody Bulloch was widely considered the Confederacy's most dangerous man in Europe. As head of the South's covert shipbuilding and logistics program overseas during the American Civil War, Bulloch acquired a staggering 49 warships, blockade runners, and tenders; built "invulnerable" ocean-going ironclads; sustained Confederate logistics; financed covert operations; and acted as the mastermind behind the destruction of 130 Union ships. Ironically, this man who conspired to destroy the Union and kidnap its president later stood as the favorite uncle and mentor to Theodore Roosevelt.

Special Issue in Honor of Professor James D. McChesney on the Occasion of His 80th Birthday

Special Issue in Honor of Professor James D. McChesney on the Occasion of His 80th Birthday

MDPI AG

Plants have been the sources of important pharmaceuticals, flavoring agents, and agrochemicals. The antimalarial drugs artemisinin and quinine; the anticancer drugs taxol, etoposide, and vinca alkaloids; the sugar-free sweetening agents stevioside and rebaudiosides; and antifeedant azadiractin are good examples of important plant-based drugs, food additives, and agrochemicals currently on the market. Despite these and many other successes, there are significant challenges to discovering and developing commercially important natural products from plants, such as procuring plant materials in large quantities, separating active constituents from complex mixtures, and undesirable qualities, such as low solubility or poor chemical or metabolic stability of active constituents. Dr. James D. McChesney has contributed immensely to overcoming the inherent challenges associated with discovering and developing products modeled from plant-based natural product leads. His research on artemisinin, taxol, galanthamine, podophyllotoxin, and stevia sweet glycosides exemplifies the magnitude of these contributions. His extensive work on the structural modification of taxol led to the discovery and development of the anticancer agent TPI 287, a third-generation taxane analog that is currently undergoing clinical trials. Dr. McChesney has had a long, distinguished teaching and research career, has authored more than 225 research publications, and holds more than 60 patents. He is a past president and Fellow of the American Society of Pharmacognosy and a Fellow of the AAAS. He has mentored many graduate students, post-docs, and junior faculty members who hold prominent positions in natural products research establishments in the US and worldwide.We wish to dedicate this Special Issue Book Version to celebrate the eightieth birthday of Dr. McChesney, a prolific thinker with abundant inventiveness in the field of natural product chemistry and pharmacognosy.

BALANCING THE DEVELOPMENT AGENDA-THE TRANSFORMATION OF THE WORLD BANK UNDER JAMES D. WOLFENSOHN 2005

World Bank Publications
2005
nidottu
This volume takes an in-depth look at how the World Bank and its mission have evolved and expanded since James D. Wolfensohn took over as president in 1995. The book begins by showing how Wolfensohn broadened the development agenda to incorporate the private sector, the Millennium Development Goals, reconstruction of post-conflict countries, country-owned development strategies, and the promotion of good governance. It then examines the Bank's strategy of forging and harnessing strategic partnerships with other nations on such critical issues as aid effectiveness and debt relief. An examination of the Bank's institutional renewal and internal reform, with a new focus on generating results and modernizing the Bank's information and communications technologies, follows. The book concludes by taking stock of the last ten years of expansion and change under Wolfensohn and looks at new challenges the Bank will face in the 21st century.

VOICES FOR THE WORLD'S POOR-SELECTED SPEECHES AND WRITINGS OF WORLD BANK PRESIDENT JAMES D WOLFENSOHN

VOICES FOR THE WORLD'S POOR-SELECTED SPEECHES AND WRITINGS OF WORLD BANK PRESIDENT JAMES D WOLFENSOHN

World Bank Publications
2005
sidottu
As president of the World Bank, James D. Wolfensohn oversaw over ten thousand employees and managed operations in almost one hundred and fifty countries. Responsible for tens of billions of dollars in aid to the world's poorest nations, Wolfensohn made sustainable poverty reduction the World Bank's overarching mission and used the Bank as a bully pulpit to declare institutional war on global poverty. Under his leadership, the Bank grew in both size and scope, becoming the single largest provider of resources to the developing world for HIV/AIDS programs, the largest supporter of environmental projects, and the largest funder of education. Wolfensohn not only turned the Bank into a respected source of research on developing countries but helped the Bank return to its position as the pre-eminent global economic institution that it once was. This volume brings together the most important and inspiring speeches made by James Wolfensohn during his time as World Bank president. Spanning all ten years of Wolfhenson presidency (1995-2005), the book presents his most stimulating and thought-provoking writings on critical global issues, including poverty, debt relief, corruption, HIV/AIDS, climate change, human rights, and globalization. Written during some of the most tumultuous times in recent history, Wolfhenson writings address and examine key global events and issues, from the Asian financial crisis, the rise of the antiglobalization movement and the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 to strife in Sudan, the global spread of AIDS and the global war on terror. With over 100 of Wolfensohn's writings, this book will be an invaluable resource for readers interested in international relations, international development, the World Bank, and James Wolfensohn himself.

Naval Institute Press
1986
sidottu
Known throughout the service by his nickname “Jig Dog,” this officer takes great pride in his achievements in combat. He liked to go where the action was, and in this memoir he is frequently candid to the point of bluntness in expression his feelings. After graduation from the Naval Academy in 1939, he served in the aircraft carrier USS Enterprise (CV-6) and later returned to that ship after undergoing flight training brief duty in the heavy cruiser USS Salt Lake City (CA-25). He was in a number of combat actions during the war, notably the Battle of the Philippine Sea in 1944. He served as CO of Bombing Squadron 98, as a student at the Naval War College, as navigator of the escort carrier USS Bairoko (CVE-115), and on the staff of ComAirPac. In the 1950s he was with the Armed Forces Special Weapons Project, commanded Carrier Air Group 19 and Fleet Composite Squadron Three, served in the Pentagon in OP-05W, was a student at the National War College, and commanded Heavy Attack Wing One as the Navy built up its nuclear bombing capability. In the early 1960s Ramage commanded the seaplane tender USS Salisbury Sound (AV-13), served as head of Special Weapons Plans on the OpNav staff, commanded the attack aircraft carrier USS Independence (CVA-62), served on the staff of Joint Task Force Two, which tested low-altitude bombing alternatives, and was chief of staff to Commander Task Force 77 during the bombing of North Vietnam. As a flag officer he was Commander Fleet Air Whidbey, deputy chief of staff for plans and operations on the staff of CinCPacFlt, Commander Carrier Division Seven, Commander Naval Air Reserve, and Commander Tenth Naval District/Caribbean Sea Frontier. He retired from active duty in 1975.
