Book Description

From the #1 New York Times best seller Black Hawk Down to the acclaimed Killing Pablo, Mark Bowden has been praised for his unique, novelistic ability to put his reader in the heat of the story. Road Work collects Bowden's award-winning nonfiction, from his breakout stories for The Philadelphia Inquirer to his most recent high-profile pieces in The Atlantic. Road Work takes us everywhere from a small town in Rhode Island where one of the largest cocaine rings in history is uncovered, to the Luangwa Valley in Zambia where a bold team of antipoachers fights to save the fate of the black rhinoceros. Bowden's high-profile look at Saddam Hussein, nominated for a National Magazine Award, shed such new and dramatic light on one of the world's most notorious figures that it has been optioned for film. And his shocking exposé on the dark art of interrogation, also nominated for a National Magazine Award, offers an insider's eye into the unique and controversial ways in which we are fighting the war on terrorism. The stories in Road Work are powerfully gripping, elucidating, and often wryly humorous.

5 out of 5 stars Fantastic..........2006-06-22

I love these anthology works -- it sure beats hunting down all the pieces online or whatever. The range of subjects is impressive. Saddam... bombing taliban... corrupt cops on the take...

Ok... let me confess -- I didn't read every single story in the book. (Sports, not really my thing.) That aside, this book is rad.

5 out of 5 stars Masterful storytelling........2004-11-12

Mark Bowden is an anachronism, a throwback to the glories of earlier decades when skilled writers used magazine pages to tell real stories. How different from the infotainment and self-aggrandizing puff-pieces so common today.

Bowden's stories were originally written for The Philadelphia Inquirer magazine, Atlantic Monthly, Rolling Stone and others.

His subjects are as diverse as the "Dark Art Of Interrogation" to a study of Norman Mailer, nineteens stories in all and every one fascinating.

A wonderful excursion through the eyes of a man who can not only see, but can write as well.

    Book Description

    Anyone who has read Mark Bowden's Black Hawk Down or Killing Pablo knows that he is capable of putting us in the heat of a story in a way few writers can. Road Work gathers the best of his award-winning writing, from his breakout stories for the Philadelphia Inquirer to his influential pieces in the Atlantic on the conflicts in Afghanistan and Iraq. Whether traveling to Zambia, where a team of antipoachers fights to save the black rhino, to Guantánamo Bay to expose the controversial ways America is fighting its war on terror, or to a small town in Rhode Island to penetrate the largest cocaine ring in history, Bowden takes us down rough roads previously off limits—and gives us another gripping read.

    “Bowden's range is broad. . . . With heartbreaking detail, [these pieces] reveal his most effective reporting tool: empathy.” —Entertainment Weekly (A)
    “Mark Bowden is a master of narrative journalism.” —The New York Times Book Review

        5 out of 5 stars Valuable perspective.......2000-10-22

        A recurring theme in "Piecework" is that America has become a place in which people no longer seem to have the basic toughness to accept life's hardships, and must therefore heap the blame upon everyone else.

        The situation is made worse, Pete Hamill says, by television, which allows people to have deep emotional experiences without "earning" them. This attitude is summed up most effectively in two essays, "Letter to a Black Friend" and the disturbing "Endgame."

        When Hamill isn't shaking his head at our collective mistakes, he is shining the spotlight on individuals -- as he does in solid features on Mike Tyson and Frank Sinatra -- or examining a city gone wrong, the Miami of the 1980s. Here, and throughout you see the keen observation skills, dogged research, and common sense that made Hamill a top-flight reporter first, an insightful columnist second.

        Whether or not you share Pete Hamill's old-fashioned, hard-nosed worldview, you won't be able to deny that he expresses it brilliantly here.

        5 out of 5 stars Words in the hand of a master craftsman.......1999-09-10

        Some beautiful writing--the kind of material you go back to over and over again just to see how he does it. The piece titled "Endgame" is worth the price of the book. It describes the craziness and the downward spiral of this splintered country of ours better than anything I've ever read.

          The chapter on Madonna and George Michael as Post Modern Stars was clearly written long prior to the publication date. It serves as an excellent primer on postmodernism for communications students and finds Madonna and Michael at the apex of their careers as taste-makers. Sort of quaint in a way.

            4 out of 5 stars Underrated and too soon forgotten.......2000-08-29

            'Heroes' was Joe McGinniss's return to the publishing fray after 'The Selling Of The President 1968' made him bestselling sensation in his twenties. It was panned at the time, viewed as self-indulgent and narcissistic. Well, it sure ain't 'Selling 2', and it's easy to understand why many readers didn't like it. But this is actually a masterpiece of confessional journalism. Joe, knocked sideways by the success of his first book, goes on a search for America to find out what a hero is, and whether the hero still exists. His journey turns into a journey into himself. Yeah, I know it sounds like it's going to be cornball self-discovery time. Er, no. The picture McGinniss paints of himself is of a man realising who he is and despising what he has become: a philandering, abusive, egocentric, drinker. He conceals none of this: he offers up the facts about his life, and about what he is trying to do, as if in a confessional. He offers the reader a chance to judge (and how many authors, really, are honest enough to do that? Put it this way: Dave Eggers would never have dared bare so much of his soul in 'A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius') and does not flinch from the verdict you return. It's criminal this book is out of print.

                  Product Liability for Professional Paralegals is a practical, hands-on book for legal professionals working in the field of personal injury and product liability litigation, as well as for students of personal injury litigation. Case management and practice tips assist the paralegal in learning and perfecting the professional skills, organizational techniques, and perspective to be an integral part of the professional team.

It also discusses the interesting history of product liability law. Expert witnesses are essential in product liability cases, and there is extensive information regarding locating, evaluating, and working with expert witnesses. Part two addresses specific types of products including medical devices, toxic substances, household and consumer products, childrens products, vehicles, and machinery. Included is information regarding warnings, manufacturing and design defects, standards and regulations, and many sample forms, including pleadings and discovery. This information allows the paralegal to know what questions to ask to solicit information most helpful to the trial team. The book is analytical and is written in a clear, concise manner that is interesting and understandable. Practicing paralegals, paralegal students, and any legal professional interested in personal injury and product liability litigation will benefit from the content of the book.

                          Book Description

                          In today's litigious climate, concerns over legal matters pre-occupy managers at every level. And with good reason. Even companies with the best intentions can be slapped with lawsuits leading to exorbitant attorney's fees, courts costs, and potential damages. The best defense is prevention. An excellent reference on business practice and preventive law, Reducing Business Risk provides an easily accessible guide to the basic elements of business law. It explains what is required to bring a particular type of lawsuit, describes the responsibilities of the parties involved, highlights “red flag” situations within an organization that may lead to litigation or other problems, and makes suggestions for reducing risks - and therefore costs - of lawsuits. It covers such potentially combustible topics as age discrimination, software copyright, non compete, e-contracts, family and medical leave, implied warranties, intellectual property, partnerships, privacy rights, sexual harassment, trade secrets, wrongful discharge, and much more.

                            Book Description

                            The limited liability company the GmbH dominates the German corporate landscape. It is particularly attractive to those who want to give their business a legal form that can be flexibly structured. This book explains the legal rules pertaining to the GmbH, covering almost every aspect from incorporation to liquidation. Particular emphasis is placed on issues that are of practical importance for GmbHs that are part of a group of companies. The book includes an outline of the law of mergers, conversions and de-mergers, and relevant types of transformations covered by the German Transformation Act (Umwandlungsgesetz). Additional chapters address the particularities of the GmbH & Co. KG and the question of whether the English Ltd is a viable alternative legal form for doing business exclusively in Germany. The book is primarily designed for the legal practitioner, whether an in-house counsel or in private practice, and whether educated in German law or not. Written in plain English, it is also suitable for the interested layman.

                            Klaus J. Muller is a partner in the Frankfurt office of Mayer, Brown, Rowe & Maw LLP.He works primarily on cross-border acquisitions, the changing of group structures, and on other corporate matters, predominantly involving GmbHs.
