DOWNLOAD EBOOKWHAT IS IT LIKE TO BE A DETECTIVE? In The Shield of Gold, private investigator and former New York Police Department homicide detective Lenny Golino informs, amuses, and sometimes saddens the reader with real-life stories from his twenty-one years with the NYPD and from his current position as head of Gold Shield Elite Investigations, LLC. Among the chapters are "Gratitude and Attitude," "From Kid to Cop," "'Street Eyes' and 'Street-wise, '" "World Trade Center Attack, September 11, 2001," "Line-ups, Show-Ups, and Screw-Ups," "The Murderous Mom," "One Who Got Away," "Cache of the Day," "Through a Cop's Eyes," "Who, or What, Is Bugging You?" This candid memoir describes some of the highs and lows of being on the Job. One needs a sense of humor and a philosophical perspective not to become victim to three common hazards of police work: alcoholism, divorce, and suicide. "To serve and protect" successfully, one must have insight and compassion, along with street smarts and a desire to see justice done. One cannot be too soft-boiled nor too hard-boiled...nor scrambled. After retiring from the NYPD, Golino found that being a detective had become addictive. He established his Gold Shield Elite organization to continue his calling and to provide private investigative services that are timely, professional, and affordable. The Shield of Gold gives a first-hand depiction of police work and private investigating that both informs and entertains. Leonard Golino is a decorated veteran of twenty-one years of service with the New York Police Department, the last seven years of which he served as a robbery-homicide unit detective, solving 46 of 57 homicide investigations he conducted. He is currently a private investigator. Douglas Winslow Cooper, Ph.D., is a retired scientist, now a freelance writer and book-writing partner. He is the author of Ting and I: A Memoir of Love, Courage, and Devotion, al

DOWNLOAD EBOOKWhen federal and state governments battle over environmental regulations, whose approach should prevail? Shortly after passage of the 1990 Clean Air Act Amendments, a controversial U.S. EPA mandate led to an intense conflict between federal regulators and California politicians. The disagreement pitted EPA's required overhaul of auto inspections against California's desire to self-govern its test program - popularly called 'Smog Check.' The conflict nearly upended the Clean Air Act, and triggered dramatic policy shifts throughout the United States. Smog Check presents these struggles in first-hand detail. Eisinger, an EPA official at the time of this conflict, probes deeply into the issues and explores broader questions including: when does it become imperative for agencies to bargain with one another, when should regulatory flexibility and performance-based regulations be favored over command and control approaches, and what should be done when decisions need to be made in the face of scientific disagreement? The book also includes insightful commentary from other EPA participants in the Smog Check controversy. Smog Check's lessons will be relevant to climate change, air pollution control, and numerous other policy challenges.
