Paperback. Zustand: Good. This book aims to present a picture of one of the world's leading credit rating agencies. Credited as being the first credit rating agency, Moody's stands as the epitome of the rating sector and all that it effects. However, outside of internal and non-public histories compiled within the rating agency itself, the story of Moody's has never been told, until now. However, this is not a historical book. Rather, this book paints a picture of Moody's on a wider canvas that introduces the concept of rating to you, taking into account the origins of the sector, the competitive battles that formed the modern-day oligopoly, and the characters that have each taken their turn on sculpting the industry that, today, is critical to the modern economy.The book is a story of personable people who provided the market with what it needed, but it is more than that. It is a story of conflict, impact, strategy, and most of all the relationship between big business and modern society. Standing as the gatekeeper to the capital markets that form the core of modern society, Moody's represents the very best of what the marketplace can produce, but also the very worst. This story takes in economic crises in the antebellum US, the Panics of the early 1900s, the Wall Street Crash and the Great Depression and, of course, the Global Financial Crisis. It does this because, at the heart of each one was a member of the rating industry or the reporting industry that preceded it. Associated with almost any financial scandal you may care to remember the credit rating agencies, in their often-uncomfortable role as gatekeepers, have their fingerprints on most financial scandals and calamities. This book tells the story of the industry's founding member. Doré, Gustave (illustrator).…

Paperback. Zustand: Good. A timeless lesson about life and business from the legendary entrepreneur Henry Ford.

Paperback. Zustand: Good. Revisit the romantic age of aeronautics when the rapid development of balloons, dirigibles and airplanes changed the world forever. Archibald Williams wrote this entertaining and informative journey through the early days of air travel for readers of all ages in 1926, covering the earliest ascents in balloons through the Wright Brothers, trans-Atlantic flights. The special edition enlarged reprinting includes: - Enlarged 7 x 10 pages - Crisp digitally re-scanned and enhanced images- Bold new cover design- Author's original page layouts- Classic type font- English printing with illustration captions Chapter by chapter Williams chronicles the feats and failures of those legendary pioneers of flight with enthusiasm and an eye towards the future, where he envisions a time when a machine will be able to alight vertically in a space no larger than the back garden of a small suburban villa, or on a flat roof. Enjoy an informative look at the earliest ascents of balloons, dirigibles, and the first crossings that made history. The rapid development of the mechanical airplane is covered with great interest, as is its application in commercial air travel, exploration, and warfare. For readers looking to enjoy a broad, illustrated overview of airplanes and the history of air travel, Conquering the Air is a delight to read. We shall devote our attention first to the origin of the spherical balloons and to the most notable voyages made in them. Next, we shall see how the balloon was altered in form, provided with motive power of its own, and converted from a mere gas-container and a self-directing aerial ship. Then follows an account of the experiments which led to the production of the first practical flying machine; to be succeeded by a series of chapters devoted to those fights, of successively increasing length, which, as first exemplifying the conquest of the air the grand scale, may justly be termed epoch-making. Table of Contents: Chapter 1: Early Balloon AscentsChapter 2: Further Ascents in Fire-BalloonsChapter 3: The Coming of the Gas BalloonChapter 4: The First Balloon Ascents in Great BritainChapter 5: The First Crossing of the Channel by AirChapter 6: Famous Balloon VoyagesChapter 7: The Coming of the Dirigible BalloonChapter 8: The First Attack on the AtlanticChapter 9: Pioneers of Mechanical FlightChapter 10: The First Crossing of the English Channel by AeroplaneChapter 11: From London to ManchesterChapter 12: A Splendid FutureChapter 13: The First Crossing of the Atlantic by AirChapter 14: A Magnificent SuccessChapter 15: To New York and BackChapter 16: From London to AustraliaChapter 17: From Cairo to the CapeChapter 18: The First Non-stop Flight Across AmericaChapter 19: Aircraft in the Polar RegionsChapter 20: The First Flight Around the WorldChapter 21: From Italy to Japan and BackChapter 22: From Spain to Buenos AiresChapter 23: Lifebelts of the AirChapter 24: Aircraft in WarChapter 25: AirwaysChapter 26: Uses for AircraftChapter 27: The Future of Flying About the Publisher: The CGR Publishing Restoration Workshop uses a vast array of computers and digital scanners to restore, preserve, and enhance the classic works of writers and artists from the 19th century.

Paperback. Zustand: Good. More than 400 restored and enhanced illustrations from the mind of Gustave Dor celebrate the legacy of one of history's greatest artists. Known for his highly detailed wood engravings and gifted sense of composition, Gustave Dor was one of the premier illustrators from the 19th century whose visual style was years ahead of his time. For the first time, a beautifully curated collection of some of his best work from eight influential books is available in one volume. Best of Gustave Dor includes images from: - Dante's Inferno- Milton's Paradise Lost- The History of Don Quixote- Dor 's London: A Pilgrimage- Les Contes Drolatiques- Dante's Purgatory and Paradise- Dor 's Bible Gallery- Adventures Du Baron De M nchhausen Page after page of Dor illustrations shows why this prolific French prodigy may be history's most versatile artist with an unequaled range and unrestrained ability to convey hope, tragedy, passion, and agony, all with a delightfully macabre sense of humor. Best of Gustave Dore Volume 1 contains some of his biggest, mind-bending pieces in addition to enlarged, re-scanned images of smaller cartoons and sketches from the background details of books like Dor 's London and Les Contes Dolatiques. New and old fans alike will find themselves immersed for days soaking in every detail and subtle nuance from his myriad array of masterpieces.- 8 1/2 x 11 printing- Crisp digitally re-scanned and enhanced images- More than 400 illustrations- Display quality cover design- Introduction by Mark Bussler, creator of Dante's Inferno: The Coloring Book and Magnum Skywolf Born in France in 1832, Dor was considered an artistic genius at an early age who embarked on a lifetime career as a cartoonist, illustrator, painter, sculptor, and caricaturist. Wood engravings became his specialty, and he is widely known today for his illustrations in popular books such as Dante's Inferno, Milton's Paradise Lost, and Dor 's London: A Pilgrimage. What makes Dor 's artwork unique is his range of talent beyond his skill as a technical illustrator. His mastery of human anatomy and background details is rivaled only by his own abilities to shift subject matters, effortlessly, from angst and pain to comic hilarity. His chilling artwork for Dante's Inferno evokes endless, eternal suffering while his quirky, lighthearted drawings for Les Contes Drolatiques show his good sense of humor and gifted cartooning skills. About the Writer: Mark Bussler is the founder of CGR Publishing, lead-restoration artist, and cover designer. He has written and illustrated more than 100 books, including Dante's Inferno: The Coloring Book, The Ultra Massive Video Game guidebook series, Magnum Skywolf, Ethel the Cyborg Ninja, Robot Kitten Factory, 1939 New York World's Fair: The World of Tomorrow in Photographs and the science fiction space manga, Omega Ronin (2021.) Bussler directed the films Expo: Magic of the White City narrated by Gene Wilder, Westinghouse, and the long-running Classic Game Room Internet show.
