Many things set Joe Grano apart from the typical corporate leader: his decorated military career, his humble origins, his lack of a formal college education, his meteoric rise. But perhaps the most unique aspect of Granoâ€™s life and career is his ability to deal with crisis. When things are at their worst, Grano is at his best. From Vietnam to 9/11, from the market crash of â€™87 to todayâ€™s financial crisis, Wall Street legend Joe Grano has been at the front lines of the most defining American crises of the last forty years. Whether leading draftees through combat as a Green Beret in Vietnam, regrouping a team of brokers during the market crash of 1987, or working tirelessly to reopen Wall Street after the attacks on 9/11, Joe has served at the forefront, leading and even inspiring others when things seem at their darkest. Structured around six specific crises he faced in his life and career, You Canâ€™t Predict a Hero tells the unique story of how Grano was able to triumph over challenges both personal and professional.

In his national bestseller, Die Broke, Stephen Pollan introduced a radical new strategy for spending and saving money in today's unprecedented financial environment. The natural result of Die Broke - indeed the reason to die broke in the first place - is the subject of this new audio. If Die Broke is about how we spend, save and invest our money, Live Rich is the other side of the equation, the earning side of things. In it, Stephen Pollan shares the compelling observation that living rich has less to do with net worth or income stream, and everything to do with freedom. The most powerful form of financial freedom comes from working for yourself (whoever your boss may be).Live Rich says all that's standing in the way of earning enough to live the life of your dreams is your relationship to money. Act rationally rather than emotionally when it comes to your income, and you'll find money can buy you happiness. The four tenets of the Live Rich philosophy, simply stated, are:Make money. Too many of us have been fed the line that 'work isn't necessarily about making money.' Tell that to Visa next time they send you a bill.Don't grow, change. Be ready to change your work paradigm on a moment's notice, to morph from career to career several times as conditions - and you - change.Take charge. In the 21st century, you must become proactive and start taking measured risks.Be a mercenary. Think of yourself as a free agent, responsible for your own security, and always on the lookout for the next great job.Live Rich provides an explanation of Stephen Pollan's radical workplace philosophy as well as a detailed A-to-Z action plan - from 'accountants' and 'advertisements' to 'web sites' and 3working capital' - that allows listeners to apply the philosophy to every facet of their working lives, and truly Live Rich.

Reapproaching Borders: New Perspectives on the Study of Israel-Palestine

Territorial borders, identity borders, and many other kinds of social and cultural borders are constantly questioned in Israel-Palestine. Reapproaching Borders: New Perspectives on the Study of Israel-Palestine explores the concept of borders, how they are imagined and actualized in this deeply contested land. The book focuses on the 'implicate relations' between Palestinian Arabs and Jews, providing new insights into the origins and dynamics of the conflicts between them. Emphasizing the history of the non-elite members of both communities, the book sees the relations between Jews and Palestinian Arabs as embedded and reflected in areas of daily living, such as in the spheres of architecture, commerce, health sexuality, and the courts. Using the voices of the new generation of scholars, Reapproaching Borders demonstrates the continued saliency of older themes such as ownership and rights to the land, but as they intersect with the newer areas of inquiry, such as sexual identity politics and spatial relations.

Urban Imaginaries: Locating the Modern City

For millennia, the city stood out against the landscape, walled and compact. This concept of the city was long accepted as adequate for characterizing the urban experience. However, the nature of the city, both real and imagined, has always been more permeable than this model reveals. 
The essays in Urban Imaginaries respond to this condition by focusing on how social and physical space is conceived as both indefinite and singular. They emphasize the ways this space is shared and thus made into urban culture. Urban Imaginaries offers case studies on cities in Brazil, Israel, Turkey, Lebanon, and India, as well as in the United States and France, and in doing so blends social, cultural, and political approaches to better understand the contemporary urban experience.
