Meet the high-seas risk-takers whose embrace of trade served billions
Dynasties of the Sea: The Untold Stories of the Postwar Shipping Pioneers tells the stories of more than a dozen men and women who built the great maritime companies that for the past half century have not only fed the world and kept the lights on in homes, factories, and businesses worldwide, but have helped raise a billion people out of poverty. With the incredible ships they built, the vessels they helped finance, the seafarers they trained and employed around the globe, these are the true heroes of the global effort to improve lives in every nation of the world.
These are stories of risk-taking, bold decisions, and the investment of billions of dollars, by individuals, families, and businesses, not governments. The contributions these men and women have made to the growth of global trade have turned the hopes and aspirations of those who helped shape a post-World War II order into reality.
Today, as protectionism is growing and trade barriers are erected, and nations retreat from globalism, the stories in Dynasties of the Sea, as written by acclaimed author Lori Ann LaRocco, tell of the great prospects for mankind through the embrace of free trade.
Dynasties tells us what it takes to succeed on the world stage, in the pursuit of global prosperity. Meet the women and men who helped change a world, including:
Patriarch of a Greek shipping family: Miles Kulukundis
Masters of the Americas: Felipe and Ricardo Men ndez Ross
Dynasties of the Sea is the first book to examine one of the most powerful forces in global trade and economic development: world shipping and the magnates who drive the industry. Operating from Monaco to Hong Kong, London to Athens, Singapore to Oslo, shipowners and their financiers have changed the world in every way. From transporting agricultural products from Brazil to Africa and the Middle East, to delivering Australian iron ore to China, to carrying Middle East crude oil to Asia and the Americas, to carrying almost every article of clothing you are wearing and every electronic device in the world, shipowners have enabled global economic development and helped raise the global standard of living. While ocean shipping remains one of the most important businesses in the world, it is also one of the most volatile. Affected by such imponderables as weather and political upheaval, shipowning cultures have maintained their commitment to an industry that has endured for centuries - and will continue to endure for centuries to come. The candid and detailed first-person profiles that comprise Dynasties of the Sea provide critical insight into the psychology of today's generation of shipping magnates, from how they view risk - politically, economically and environmentally - to what they see transpiring in the world tomorrow.

The delicate pendulum of trade has been knocked off balance and sent the global markets on a wild ride.

Описание:
The multi-front trade war, which started with solar panels and washing machines, quickly expanded to additional battles: the 232 action on Aluminum and Steel imports, Intellectual Property, Autos, and Immigration. As a result, retaliatory tariffs were imposed and the flow of global trade the world once knew was changed. Headlines reporting the China tariffs "on hold," "truces announced" as well as threats of additional tariffs being imposed, continue to feed the uncertainty which would send the markets to historic highs and dramatic selloffs.
So how can one get a sense of the true status of trade and the good faith being pledged by countries like China?
Through the trade flows
With ninety percent of the world's economy moved by maritime transport, the ocean highway is the best way for anyone to gauge the status of trade talks as well as monitor the flow of trade. Remember, the two phrases your mom said when you were a teen: "talk is cheap" and "actions speak louder than words?" Well, when it comes to the world of shipping, that is the action being taken. Best-selling author Lori Ann LaRocco takes readers inside the world of global trade and shows us: Containers and tankers don't lie.
Let's cut through the political rhetoric and see what the tea leaves of maritime are telling us, as well as the strategies some business leaders are employing to navigate the trade wars.

Being a sub means this BDSM game is really all about your pleasure. The Dom's goal is to provide you with the pleasure you crave and send you to a higher level of eroticism through very intensive sessions of bondage, discipline, sadism and masochism.
During volume 1 we talked about trust; finding a Dom you can trust and one that meets your high standards. In this book, we are going to explain how you as a sub can develop a criteria for your Dom and ensure that each session is going to be enjoyable.
Here are just some of the things you will discover in volume 2 of "Submissive's Guide To BDSM"

Are you a frustrated Dom? Have you tried to be the best Dom possible but can't seem to find any subs? Do your sessions end prematurely? Are you not quite sure what you're doing wrong or how to start setting up programs for a sub that wants emotional healing?
You've come to the right place! Continuing our line of BDSM education books, we've compiled a list of tips that we call "Troubleshooting Tips", especially made for Doms who are stuck in a circle of inactivity.
Your subs may complain that you're too aggressive or too nice, or maybe that you just don't understand. The problem is not necessarily with you or your attitude. Usually it's because you haven't been formally trained on how to DIRECT a sub towards a progressive plan of action. It is your job to train a sub, explain the punishments and rewards, and transform her thinking.
No Dom has ever started off a complete natural. Everyone needs training and additional tips for turning their intermediate knowledge into professional / expert level understanding.
In "Mastering The Art of Dominance," you will learn:
- How to attract subs (even if you've been unsuccessful in the past)
- How to avoid mentally disturbed subs before it's too late
- How to turn your friend-with-benefits into a sub
- How to identify troubled subs who can be helped and how to help them
- How to manage multiple subs and multiple partners with fellow Doms
- How to deal with jealousy and rivalries with multiple subs
- And much more...
By the time you finish this book, you're going to be ready to be a top of your class Dom!
What does it really mean to be a submissive, or sub? Much of what we see in BDSM practice, especially in the mainstream, focuses on how to become dominant and act like the ideal Dom or Master, or "Top." However, a lot of newcomers are confused as to how this works. They vaguely understand that the submissive or sub or slave is supposed to obey. But they don't understand the emotional dynamics, or how to act like the ideal sub, or even how to enjoy the experience.
That's what this book is going to teach you: How to be a better sub, and have a happy & healthy BDSM lifestyle.
Here are just some of the things you will discover in volume 1 of "Submissive's Guide To BDSM"
- Why you want to experience punishment...
- The science of pain & pleasure...
- Type of Doms to beware of...
- How to pick the right Dom just for you...
- How to protect yourself from wannabe Doms and predators...
- The right way to explore taboo fantasies in BDSM...
- Type of limits and when & how to use them...
- How to communicate with your Dom...
- Common mistakes new subs make...
- How to "train" your Master...
- How to "fire" your Dom if it's not working out...
Much of what we've "heard" about BDSM and the lifestyle is wrong. Our opinions on this lifestyle and art form are oftentimes shaped by other people who have heard something about it and perhaps embellished it to the point of perpetuating myths. The truth is that BDSM is not degrading towards women, and it's also a concept that you will find is not "scary." And even the "pain" that is spoken of is not the type of pain people think it is.
This book is written for Doms/Masters in training. It is written for you, the average guy or gal, who doesn't already have a closet full of leather and whips, and who really has little idea about what BDSM is besides what they've heard about it.
What you are going to find out, is that the Dom/Master actually has the more complicated role. The master has the task of giving pleasure and discipline to the slave or sub. A great deal of what you do as a Dom will be for the benefit of a sub. You must derive pleasure from giving, have a great desire to please a partner, and not simply take what you want.
Still interested? Good. Now that we know you're a REAL master in training, one that will respect the rules, respect the slave you have power over, and follow protocol, you can begin your Dom training. Only then can you truly earn the utmost respect and admiration from your sub.
In Volume 1 of this series we are going to discuss:
- How to think and act like a Dom
- What the slave expects from you
- What not to do and what instincts you do NOT want to follow
- Your motivation and your goals
- How to find out a sub's taboo
- How to negotiate, find agreement and ensure that game play is always safe
- How to make a slave yearn for you and desire to be controlled by you
- And much more...
