Film and television actor and New York Times bestselling author Robert Wagner's memoir of the great women movie stars he has known. In a career that has spanned more than sixty years Robert Wagner has witnessed the twilight of the Golden Age of Hollywood and the rise of television, becoming a beloved star in both media. During that time he became acquainted, both professionally and socially, with the remarkable women who were the greatest screen personalities of their day. I Loved Her in the Movies is his intimate and revealing account of the charisma of these women on film, why they became stars, and how their specific emotional and dramatic chemistries affected the choices they made as actresses as well as the choices they made as women. Among Wagner's subjects are Joan Crawford, Bette Davis, Marilyn Monroe, Gloria Swanson, Norma Shearer, Loretta Young, Joan Blondell, Irene Dunne, Rosalind Russell, Dorothy Lamour, Debra Paget, Jean Peters, Linda Darnell, Betty Hutton, Raquel Welch, Glenn Close, and the two actresses whom he ultimately married, Natalie Wood and Jill St. John. In addition to offering perceptive commentary on these women, Wagner also examines topics such as the strange alchemy of the camera--how it can transform the attractive into the stunning, and vice versa--and how the introduction of color brought a new erotic charge to movies, one that enabled these actresses to become aggressively sexual beings in a way that that black and white films had only hinted at. Like Wagner's two previous bestsellers, I Loved Her in the Movies is a privileged look behind the scenes at some of the most well-known women in show business as well as an insightful look at the sexual and romantic attraction that created their magic.

An investigation of a Roman road-station in its archaeological and geographical context that provides a new perspective on the historical landscape of southern Anatolia. This study is based on fieldwork carried out during the 1990s in southwest Turkey in the modern vilayets of Burdur and Antalya, and it focuses on the settlements associated with a Roman mansio located in the Döseme Bogazi, the pass that linked Pisidia with the coastal region of Pamphylia. The course of the road and the structures that emerged along it were defined not by the evolution of Pisidia’s Hellenized indigenous culture but by the priorities of Roman rule, especially during late antiquity. Furthermore, the study of the road where the mansio was located raises fundamental questions about the role played by this mountain pass in the movement of people and animals between the lowlands and highlands of South-west Anatolia.

The Life of a Blue Collar Actor details the life of a young man that became a working actor from a tobacco farm in North Carolina, and literally went from Tobacco Road to Buckingham Palace by way of the New York Theatre and Hollywood Films.

One day, your business will be owned by someone else. Your baby, your dream, the thing you have nurtured from infancy through great expansions, through near-death experiences, to what it is today, will be owned and led by someone else. This book is about taking control of this certainty and choosing the path that will provide the maximum value to you, the owner. And let's be clear: you deserve the maximum value for the business you have built. Your business is a powerful force in the markets and communities you serve. Robert Wagner, a CPA and business advisor at HoganTaylor LLP, has drawn on more than 30 years of experience as a CFO and M&A advisor to produce 55 value-driving questions that leaders should be asking to make their business better today and on the day they sell it. Many questions point to the heart of value-the certainty and resiliency of future cash flows. Some cover issues that are not deal-breakers but could slow a deal down, introducing additional risk to closing the transaction. This book is for business owners and key advisors such as CPAs, legal counsel, and bankers who want to drive value into the owner's business, create an attractive company for acquisition, and provide assurance that a deal can be completed expeditiously. This book is also for chief financial officers, controllers, and other executives of small and mid-sized businesses who want to know how to increase their businesses value today and in the future. Praised by business owners and corporate leaders alike, 55 Questions to Ask Before You Sell Your Business builds a picture of a professionally managed company that is ready for sale.

In Zeiten schnellen technologischen Wandels und in einem stets dynamischen Wettbewerbsumfeld versuchen Unternehmen durch Innovationen einen komparativen Vorteil zu erlangen, um wettbewerbsfähig zu bleiben. Eine Möglichkeit, Zugang zu dem für die Innovationen benötigten Wissen zu erhalten, bietet die Zusammenarbeit mit Unternehmen oder Forschungseinrichtungen in Form der kooperativen Technologieentwicklung. Ein diesbezüglich relevantes Konzept ist das der Absorptive Capacity. Es versucht zu erklären, warum Unternehmen unterschiedlich leicht Zugang zu potenziell für Innovationen relevantem Wissen finden und warum Unternehmen dieses Wissen teilweise mehr, teilweise weniger effizient umsetzen können. Obwohl bereits zahlreiche Forschungsbeiträge theoretische Zusammenhänge der Absorptive Capacity genauer beleuchtet haben, wurde den tatsächlich zur Anwendung kommenden Praktiken bisher wenig Beachtung geschenkt. An dieser Lücke setzt diese Arbeit an und fokussiert so die Praktiken der Absorptive Capacity.
