Our corporate dominated world is resisting the best efforts of the
"under 30s" to shape it into the information age. This book
contains information about what the careers of the "under 30s"
corporation will become. This was done examining recent trends in
careers of "growing-tip" companies like Apple, Boeing, Microsoft
and US and international design schools. The world of careers is
changing fast, and the millennials - the generation of people who
became adults around 2000, or in the decade or so after - have been
right in the middle of it. From Independence Square in Kyiv to the
streets of Caracas, from Taksim Square in Istanbul to Zuccoti Park
in New York, and from Silicon Valley to Wall Street, it's the
30-and-under crowd courageously leading the quest for different
ways. Less invested in past approaches, tech-savvy to a fault, and
painfully aware of the challenges left to them by earlier
generations, they're not willing to "settle" - to make the same
compromises (and mistakes) they think their parents made. And
although they sometimes get rapped for being self-centered, all the
evidence I see - and I've taught thousands of them on two
continents, and even have one in my own family - suggests that the
millennials represent real hope for the future. Please consider
this a call to all millennials - here, in the pages of this book,
are some of the means. Get out there and create the under-30s
revolution. Solve the problems your parents couldn't. Do it
together, with a conscientious eye to what works for all involved.
Get out there and save theworld.
The year is 1859. The nation is divided over slavery, with
abolitionists spearheading a relentless - and violent - plan of
attack. And in Seneca Falls, New York, the federal crime of
counterfeiting adds up to a deadly account of deceit, injustice,
and murder. After a year in Springfield, Illinois, Glynis returns
home with Emma, her shy, seventeen-year-old niece. Emma's only joy
comes from sewing and playing the dulcimer - and little else since
her mother died. Glynis hopes that a change of scene will help
young Emma's spirits. But as their train journeys from Rochester to
Seneca Falls, a passenger is fatally stabbed right before their
eyes. Before he dies, the victim hands Glynis a pouch containing a
signet ring, a crumpled bank note, and a twenty dollar gold eagle
coin.
The acclaimed mysteries of Miriam Grace Monfredo have fascinated
readers by bringing to life one of the most exciting eras of our
nation's history, and the adventures of a small-town librarian
named Glynis Tryon... It's the eve of the Civil War, and Glynis
Tryon's niece, Bronwen, has joined Pinkerton's Detective Agency.
While on her first assignment in the South, two agents are
murdered. When word reaches Seneca Falls that Bronwen is in
trouble, Glynis heads south--and finds her niece caught in the
midst of a diabolical plot designed to strike at the very heart of
the United States government.
Seneca Falls librarian Glynis Tryon finds herself involved with
helping slaves escape to freedom on the Underground Railroad in
1854. When she investigates the mysterious death of a freed slave,
a terrible secret from the past is unearthed. She must travel to
Richmond, Virginia, where an exciting court room trial reveals the
root of the scandalous secret. The opening night of Shakespeare's
MacBeth in Seneca Falls' new theater exposes the killer after a
deadly chase.
Spiritualism, Temperance, and Medicine are involved in this mystery
set Seneca Falls, New York in 1857. As librarian Glynis Tryon
attempts to save a Native American from hanging for murder, a dark,
decade-old secret emerges as more deaths are uncovered.
