Two kids and their grandfather take a trip to New York to tour the
city and see a Yankee's game. Not in the present, but thanks to
Harry Houdini's lost magic wand that accidentally turned up on
Ebay, they travel back in time to the last week of September, 1927
to see Babe Ruth hit his record-breaking 60th home run that Friday
and experience life in the Jazz Age. Staying at the Algonquin
Hotel, thanks to the grand daughter's love of Harpo Marx of the
Marx Brothers, a regular of the hotel's world famous Round Table
lunch group, they befriend him, Dorothy Parker, the poetess,
critic, queen of the putdown and a thoroughly modern woman and
humorist Robert Benchley. While touring the city, they run into
other famous and soon-to-be-famous people, including F. Scott
Fitzgerald, James Cagney, Ben 'Bugsy' Siegel and a certain Japanese
Navy Midshipman to name but a few. These chance encounters and
seemingly innocent trip in time unleashes a series of events that
begin to spin out of control. Speakeasies, bootleggers, gangsters,
kidnapping and a desperate rescue attempt lead to potential
historical mayhem. The reputation of one of the greatest baseball
players of all time, the outcome of World War Two and the future as
we know it is in serious danger. Based on actual events, this
carefully researched tale is an educational, historically accurate
'snapshot' of life in the Jazz Age highlighting manners and morals,
Prohibition, Wall Street, technology, transportation, (rail, ship
and air), entertainment, sports and world affairs in the last week
of September, 1927, the decade when women experienced their first
true liberation and when modern America was born. All the
characters were or plausibly could have been in New York at that
time. So take a walk back in time with them to 1927 as if you were
there. Take a ride in the cab of a fast steam locomotive, visit
famous ocean liners, travel to Chicago on the 20th Century Limited,
fly on Northwest Airways, take a tour of the battleship New York,
hang out with wisecracking Dorothy Parker, have a drink with her
friend F. Scott Fitzgerald in a speakeasy and attend the two
Yankees games in the golden age of baseball and enjoy other
adventures on this trip in time.
Some resumes are good, some are bad, and some are simply from Hell.
The all-too-real resumes in this book were no doubt written with
the best of intentions, but a job search can be a misadventure. A
wacky resume is a sure-fire way to derail your job application and
slip from the interview pile into the "joke file." In this
illustrated "how not to," former recruiters Jon Reed and Rachel
Meyers open up their own joke files, and share highlights from the
worst (and funniest) resumes they ever received. From "Questionable
References" to "Hostile Email Interactions," Jon and Rachel take
the reader through more resume mishaps and job search meltdowns
than they ever knew existed, sneaking in a bit of job search wisdom
on the fly. The resumes in this book have been changed to protect
the not-so-innocent, but Resumes from Hell is proof that truth is
still stranger - and funnier - than fiction.
