With the economic upheaval we have all experienced in the new economy, it's hard not to feel that the way we do business is under attack. Traditions and the status quo have all been replaced with "New Normals," making it more and more difficult to find a clear-cut path to success. In this refreshingly authentic book, thirty-five business leaders from around the world with very diverse backgrounds have teamed up to share what's working now-so you can stop wondering and start profiting. As you read this book, you'll find that the authors and concepts in this book run the full gamut. From rags-to-riches stories of people who have raised themselves up by their bootstraps - from all across the globe to become prominent business leaders - to hard-hitting advice that seems like common sense. Unfortunately, common sense sometimes isn't common knowledge. These leaders also advocate some strategies that seem very "against the grain." The great news is that every author in this book has laid out their best advice from their own experience, so you can find what resonates with you and start implementing - and join in the economic COUNTER ATTACK

After the failure of their first scouting expedition to England in 1900, the Martians regrouped, developed means to deal with the deadly Earthly microorganisms, and landed again in 1908. Not just in one location, but all over the world. Their transport cylinders fell on every continent and in great number. Only England and Europe were spared this time.The first three books in the Great Martian War series dealt with the invasion in America. The Gathering Storm expands the narrative to Australia, Africa, and the Near East. The year is 1912 and the Martians have planned a vast coordinated offensive to link up their scattered conquests and assemble a force so powerful that nothing can resist it.

Fred Reinfeld’s timeless Attack and Counterattack in Chess starts with the basic premise that White plays to build on the natural initiative that is inherent in having the first move, while Black plays to sap White’s divine right to this initiative, only to take it over the moment it is possible. The book is neatly divided into two sections: How White manages to make good use of his right to the first move by taking advantage of typical mistakes by Black, and how Black succeeds in challenging that right and taking over the initiative by jumping on blunders by White. There are several points to keep in mind as you peruse the games involved. The first is that this is not an opening book. The examples of play are all built around a complete chess game that came to a logical conclusion based on one player’s muffs and the other player’s exploitation of those errors. The other point is that the poor moves that are taken advantage of were to some extent based on carelessness or inattention or lack of knowledge but were also set up on purpose by the winning player. The first seven chapters cover how to control the center; how to exploit superior mobility; how to exploit Black’s premature opening of the position; how to exploit Black’s premature counterattack; How to exploit Black’s weakening pawn moves; how to exploit Black’s errors of judgement; and how to exploit irregular defenses. All these subjects are covered by a close look at a chess game in which the bungles are followed by their natural punishment The last five chapters look at how to seize the initiative as Black; how to play against gambits; how to defend against a powerful attack; how Black can seize the attack; and how to exploit unusual openings. Again, each topic unfolds during a chess game with faulty play by White and its logical destruction by Black.
