Описание:
If Patrick had been born in Chicago, he might have known better than to date a gangster's daughter... --Chicago 's Designs, a prequel to the Patrick MacKenna architectural mystery series
Patrick MacKenna, young architect, amateur sleuth and suitor of the beautiful Gloria Bohannon has it made. But when he accepts the design challenge of a new casino and resort project for Gloria's father, malapropic Mob boss "Chicago Joe" Bohannon, conflicts quickly complicate his promising career. He spots a fedora-topped man on a window washer's scaffold and stumbles on a murder case, which police think is mob-related, and becomes a suspect.
Meanwhile he falls helplessly for Kitty, a brainy waitress his father has brought over from Ireland to work and sing in his family's Irish pub. But a chance encounter with Gloria and her ex-stripper mother as he tours Kitty through the Art Institute reveals his duplicity and sets off a chain of events he can't control. Although Patrick has let down his client's daughter, he must find a way to finish the project, help law enforcement solve the crime and clear his name.
In this dark crime thriller, set in rough-and-tumble Chicago at the turn of the millennium, Patrick must face the age-old challenges of the FBI against the mob, self-interest vs. honor and marriage of convenience versus love. He must make the hard choices among these opposites which will determine the course, the quality and the length of his life.

They advance a phylogenetic model for cultural diversification, and apply a triangulation method for historical reconstruction, presenting a detailed reconstruction of Hawaiki, the Ancestral Polynesian culture that flourished some 2,500 years ago.
Описание: In this book, Patrick Costello, a practicing Certified Financial Planner(tm), shows busy investors how to implement a socially responsible and sustainable investment (SRI) strategy. Without spending an inordinate amount of time or becoming an investing expert, everyday investors can align their investing process with their personal ethics and values while earning a competitive return. Additionally, Patrick introduces the concept of "Green" investing, which is fundamentally about investor empowerment. Green investing, with socially responsible and sustainable investing at its core, goes beyond investment selection and encompasses the totality of the individual's investing experience. It is critical that aspiring SRI investors learn to navigate today's complex investing environment, avoiding pitfalls and leveraging the resources offered by the professional SRI community. In addition, a basic knowledge of the principles of portfolio construction is essential to any investor's success in achieving her goals. Only after an investor learns these lessons will she be fully prepared to build a diversified, risk-adjusted, socially responsible and sustainable portfolio. The financial services industry is rife with conflicts of interest, marketing hype and enormous amounts of media "noise". When investing through Wall Street financial service firms or national banks, investors may be unwittingly limiting themselves to proprietary trading programs and/or a small handful of mutual fund families that do not offer much in the way of SRI options. Investment professionals calling themselves "Financial Advisors" may in fact be nothing more than salesmen, eager to promote investment products of dubious value that pay high commissions. A Green investor is armed with the knowledge required to sift through financial service propaganda and media noise. She has the skills to select a financial professional who puts her interests ahead of his own, and enough of a working knowledge of portfolio construction to guard against taking inappropriate investment risks. "Green Investing: More Than Being Socially Responsible" delivers the following: 1) Clear definitions of what Socially Responsible (SRI), Sustainable, and Impact investing are all about, 2) Current objective performance information demonstrating that there is no need for SRI investors to make a financial sacrifice, 3) Practical step-by-step guidelines investors can use to add Socially Responsible and Sustainable investing strategies to their portfolios, 4) Concise explanations of the differences and similarities among popular investment vehicles such as mutual funds, exchange traded funds (ETFs) and separate accounts, 5) An overview of the science behind the construction of a diversified, risk-adjusted investment portfolio, 5) An analysis of the influence of Wall Street firms and large national banks on the investing environment, 6) A discussion of the impact of the financial media on the decision-making process of the long-term investor, and 7) Detailed descriptions of the professional training and standards of care offered by financial professionals with titles such as Financial Advisor, Investment Consultant, Certified Financial Planner(tm). To get right to the heart of the biggest misunderstanding among ordinary investors: The most current objective data show that an investor does not have to sacrifice performance in order to add an SRI element to his or her investment strategy.

Описание: "A Green One for Woody" is a true story about a boy becoming a man. And while themes of abuse and alcoholism are common in memoirs, there is nothing common about how Patrick O'Sullivan patiently peels away the textured layers of his life to reveal truths that will cause readers to both marvel and despair, and, sometimes, celebrate.From the author..."My dad had been anointed to resurrect our family name, sullied for decades by alcoholism and suicide. He was big, bright and handsome, and blessed with a silver tongue and athletic prowess. The Tigers and the Cubs wanted him. Instead, his dad insisted he attend the University of Michigan, but a broken leg on the practice field ended his big league dreams. Then he met my mom and she got pregnant, and with my heart beating inside, she denied to her preacher dad that I was there."Years of boozing and abuse took their toll; being poor didn't help, and his dad continued his downward spiral across the years of the author's young life. But over another decade, buoyed by friendships and uncommon love, Patrick O'Sullivan was propelled forward by an inimitable sense of humor and a faith anchored in hope.This is his story of becoming a man.
