DOWNLOAD EBOOKIS YOUR FORMER SPOUSE AN IDIOT? While the characters and events in this book are fictitious, most people will point to at least one story and say, "That happened to me" or "That's my former spouse." WHY BUY THE BOOK? Here are some sample lessons that the divorced idiot can learn: Practice makes perfect. A secondary lesson being that a dead ex-spouse limits your liability. Don't just infect your former spouse; infect a whole population. Deny everything and then make counter-allegations. While the marriage may be over, the divorce will never be over until death. When you don't feel inclined to discuss religion and politics with your future spouse, then a divorce may turn your head, especially if your former spouse is into Voodoo. A rumor has to contain just enough truth to be believable. Never miss the opportunity to bury the hatchet. Dating your soon-to-be former spouse's attorney ensures a speedy trial. If your former spouse is an idiot, then this book will hopefully provide some insight into the making of a divorced idiot and in the process provide some laughter.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKLong-haul trucks have been described as sweatshops on wheels. The typical long-haul trucker works the equivalent of two full-time jobs, often for little more than minimum wage. But it wasn’t always this way. Trucking used to be one of the best working-class jobs in the United States. The Big Rig explains how this massive degradation in the quality of work has occurred, and how companies achieve a compliant and dedicated workforce despite it. Drawing on more than 100 in-depth interviews and years of extensive observation, including six months training and working as a long-haul trucker, Viscelli explains in detail how labor is recruited, trained, and used in the industry. He then shows how inexperienced workers are convinced to lease a truck and to work as independent contractors. He explains how deregulation and collective action by employers transformed trucking’s labor markets--once dominated by the largest and most powerful union in US history--into an important example of the costs of contemporary labor markets for workers and the general public.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKTHE INSTANT USA TODAY BESTSELLER Spencer Quinn's Heart of Barkness is the latest in the New York Times bestselling series that the Los Angeles Times called “nothing short of masterful"... Chet the dog, “the most lovable narrator in all of crime fiction” (Boston Globe) and P.I. Bernie encounter heartache and much worse in the world of country music. They’re both music lovers, so when Lotty Pilgrim, a country singer from long ago, turns up at a local bar, they drive out to catch her act. Bernie’s surprised to see someone who was once so big performing in such a dive, and drops a C-note the Little Detective Agency can’t afford to part with into the tip jar. The C-note is stolen right from under their noses – even from under Chet’s, the nose that misses nothing – and before the night is over, it’s stolen again. Soon they’re working the most puzzling case of their career, a case that takes them back in time in search of old border-town secrets, and into present-day danger where powerful people want those secrets to stay hidden. Chet and Bernie find themselves sucked into a real-life murder ballad where there is no one to trust but each other.
