Описание: Jonathan Harris has a loving wife, Linda, and two children, William, and AnnaLee. He is a prominent Philadelphia business man who owns the majority of the stock of Victor Export and Import Company, which trades on the New York Stock Exhange. His business requires him to do extensive international traveling. In order to get financing for steel beams needed for the construction of the Freedom Tower Condominium, which is to be the tallest building in Philadelphia, he travels to England to meet his friend Harold Dunn, Head Manager of Dover Bank. Thereafter, he travels to Hong Kong with another friend, Marshall Gooding, a highly reputed Professor of Business and Economics at Oxford University. In Hong Kong, Jonathan Meets with his agent, Kim Lee, who is to order the steel beams from Hokyoshi Steel Company in Japan. Before leaving from England to Hong Kong, Jonathan meets Lady Millicent Browckworth, a beautiful English aristocrat, to whom he is drawn, not withstanding his love for his family. When the large order of steel beams reaches the Port of Philadelphia, the beams are to be taken from the ship to the waiting flatbed trucks, to be transported to the Freedom Tower Condominium. The mistakes of an inexperienced tower crane operator reveal that all is not as it seems.

Описание: "We cannot change the cards we are dealt, just how we play the hand."---Randy Pausch
A lot of professors give talks titled "The Last Lecture." Professors are asked to consider their demise and to ruminate on what matters most to them. And while they speak, audiences can't help but mull the same question: What wisdom would we impart to the world if we knew it was our last chance? If we had to vanish tomorrow, what would we want as our legacy?
When Randy Pausch, a computer science professor at Carnegie Mellon, was asked to give such a lecture, he didn't have to imagine it as his last, since he had recently been diagnosed with terminal cancer. But the lecture he gave--"Really Achieving Your Childhood Dreams"--wasn't about dying. It was about the importance of overcoming obstacles, of enabling the dreams of others, of seizing every moment (because "time is all you have...and you may find one day that you have less than you think"). It was a summation of everything Randy had come to believe. It was about living.
In this book, Randy Pausch has combined the humor, inspiration and intelligence that made his lecture such a phenomenon and given it an indelible form. It is a book that will be shared for generations to come.
