: :In his classic biographies of fictional characters (Tarzan Alive and Doc Savage: His Apocalyptic Life), Hugo- and Nebula-award winning author Philip Jose Farmer introduced the Wold Newton family, a collection of heroes and villains whose family-tree includes Sherlock Holmes, Fu Manchu, Philip Marlowe, and James Bond. In books, stories, and essays he expanded the concept even further, adding more branches to the Wold Newton family-tree. MYTHS FOR THE MODERN AGE: PHILIP JOSE FARMER'S WOLD NEWTON UNIVERSE collects for the first time those rarely-seen essays.

The Human Side of M & A: How CEOs Leverage the Most Important Asset in Deal Making»rank: 1023501by: Dennis C. Carey, Dayton Ogden
: :There are thousands of mergers every year and, by some estimates, two-thirds of them either fail or fall far short of expectations.
