Passion for Reality

The Extraordinary Life of the Investing Pioneer Paul Cabot

By: Michael R. Yogg,John C. Bogle

Paul Cabot (1898–1994) was an innovative mutual fund manager and executive known for his strong character, charismatic personality, and trendsetting financial achievements. Iconoclastic and rebellious, Cabot broke free from the Boston Brahmin trustee mold to pursue new ways of investing and serving investment clients. Cabot founded one of the first mutual funds—State Street Investment Corporation—in the early 1920s, campaigned against the corrupt practices of certain other funds in the late 1920s, and lobbied on behalf of key New Deal securities legislation in the 1930s. As Harvard University treasurer, he increased the allocation of the endowment to equities just in time for the bull market of the 1950s, and as a corporate director in the 1960s he campaigned against conglomerates' abusive takeover strategies. Having spent nearly two decades working for Cabot's company, State Street Research & Management, as an analyst, research director, portfolio manager, and chief investment officer, Michael R. Yogg is well positioned to share the secrets behind Cabot's extraordinary success and relate the life of an extraordinary man. Cabot pioneered the use of fundamental stock analysis and was likely the first to take up the progressive practice of interviewing company managements. His accomplishments all stemmed from his passion for facts, finance, and creative thinking, as well as his unbreakable will, facets Yogg illuminates through privileged access to Cabot's papers and a wealth of interviews.

Peverelly's National Game

A Moral Response to Industrialism

The Lectures of Reverend Cook in Lynn, Massachusetts

By: John T. Cumbler

In the 1870s and 1880s, Joseph Cook was a fiery young congregational minister in the industrial town of Lynn, Massachusetts. His extraordinarily successful series of "music hall" lectures on factory reform and industrialism earned him renown as an articulate spokesman for the troubled middle class in the industrializing Northeast. The lectures touch on such topics as child labor, social control, urbanization, the theater and the press—with Cook always vehemently opposing the evils of the factory system. The first full-length study contains these fascinating lectures, as well as responses to them by the manufacturers and the community. They are presented in the context of the changing times in which they originated.

Michael A. Musmanno

Lawyer, Legislator, Judge, and Showman

By: John S. Haller (Jr.)

Patrician looking but not patrician born, Musmanno was a self-made man memorable in his appearance and congenial to the times until his intentions and aspirations ran afoul of the circumstances. From his journals we see a man of extreme contradictions who sometimes exercised troubling and even controlling relationships over people and events"--

The Newsom Nightmare

The California Catastrophe and How to Reform Our Broken System

By: John H. Cox

In a time when American politics is at its lowest ebb, and when political leadership is notably absent across the ideological spectrum, one politician stands apart as a particularly unfortunate exemplar of everything that is wrong with our national leadership. Gavin Newsom. In this detailed and infuriating exposé of how big money has corrupted the political process at every level of society, businessman and philanthropist John Cox uses Newsom’s career to analyze how and why the system operates as it does. Politicians are bought and paid for by moneyed interests; media coverage is determined, first and foremost, by financial concerns; and the average citizen is fully disenfranchised from determining electoral or policy outcomes. And nowhere is this more evident—with tragic results—than in Gavin Newsom’s collapsing California. The cost of living is out of control; a homelessness epidemic is on the rise; there’s a shortage of housing, water, and energy; crime rates are at an all-time high; wildfires cause devastation at alarming rates each year; and high taxes make it nearly impossible to start a small business. We’re beginning to see these trends spread throughout the United States. As the old saying goes, “as goes California, so goes the nation.” Our system must be reformed. This book doesn’t just lay out the problems; it posits a workable and easy to implement solution that will work to get this country—and California—back on track. In The Newsom Nightmare, Cox deftly and succinctly provides an alternative that would, if implemented, put the American body politic back on solid ground.

Big Bethel

The First Battle

By: John V. Quarstein

The battle at Virginias Big Bethel Church, known as the Civil Wars first land battle, was a baptism of fire for a nation newly torn apart by civil war. Northern and Southern soldiers alike could not imagine how fiery passions and technological advances would collide into Americas bloodiest war, all beginning that hot, cloudless day at Bethel, as the shells burst among the smartly clad Zouaves. Here, the war saw its first friendly fire incident, the death of the first West Point graduate, the death of the first Confederate infantryman and the first Confederate victory. Join award-winning historian John Quarstein as he details the story of the June 10, 1861 battle, when soldiers first realized that the war would not be filled with glorious parades but rather desperate struggles to decide the fate of the nation.

The Lives of Margaret Fuller: A Biography

By: John Matteson

“Psychologically rich. . . . Matteson’s book restores the heroism of [Fuller’s] life and work.”—The New Yorker A brilliant writer and a fiery social critic, Margaret Fuller (1810–1850) was perhaps the most famous American woman of her generation. Outspoken and quick-witted, idealistic and adventurous, she became the leading female figure in the transcendentalist movement, wrote a celebrated column of literary and social commentary for Horace Greeley’s newspaper, and served as the first foreign correspondent for an American newspaper. While living in Europe she fell in love with an Italian nobleman, with whom she became pregnant out of wedlock. In 1848 she joined the fight for Italian independence and, the following year, reported on the struggle while nursing the wounded within range of enemy cannons. Amid all these strivings and achievements, she authored the first great work of American feminism: Woman in the Nineteenth Century. Despite her brilliance, however, Fuller suffered from self-doubt and was plagued by ill health. John Matteson captures Fuller’s longing to become ever better, reflected by the changing lives she led.

Healing the Split

Integrating Spirit Into Our Understanding of the Mentally Ill, Revised Edition

By: John E. Nelson

The links between madness, creative genius, and spiritual experiences have tantalized philosophers and scientists for centuries. In Healing the Split, John Nelson brings the lofty ideas of transpersonal psychology down to earth so they can be applied in a practical way to explain the bizarre effects of insanity on the human mind. Drawing on a vast knowledge of Eastern philosophy and mainstream neuropsychiatry, he heals the split between orthodox and alternative views with a comprehensive approach that goes beyond both. Starting where R. D. Laing and Thomas Szasz left off, Nelson revises and expands their radical views in light of modern brain science. He then turns to ancient tantric yoga for a synthesis that weaves brain, psyche, and spirit into a compelling new conception of mental illness. For professionals who seek to meet the needs of their patients more creatively, this book offers a unique synthesis. For people in emotional crisis, it clarifies the distinctions among intractable psychosis, temporary breakdowns in the service of healing (spiritual emergencies), and psychic breakthroughs (spiritual emergence). And for anyone interested in the seemingly inexplicable workings of the human mind gone mad, this fascinating exploration of psychotic states of consciousness will be exciting reading.

CyberWisdom

By: John Bajak

Cyber Wisdom is philosophy of computing. All it takes, says its thesis, is to be satisfied. But how that satisfaction is accomplished is difficult. That is why, when the computer is the mind amplifier, the resonance of the satisfaction builds greatest when only a little time is given. Cyber Wisdom is computer satisfaction to the user without any physical specific machine to run with. Its philosophy is like a medicine upon withdrawal from physical use of computing machines. That medicine will come to be satisfaction, wellness, and resonance, inside the intense emotional need to know the wisdom of the machine. But enough of what Cyber Wisdom “is”. Just, what is it all about? People pay a lot of money for cups which come with water as part of the deal. But to get more water people have to buy a whole other cup to get the water more. Cups get bigger, nicer, better, and they come with water. But they drink it; then they have to buy a whole other cup, to get water again. People are thirsty but they have to buy the cup to get the water inside. But all of a sudden there is a well. No matter how cheap or expensive the cup, water is cheap and plentiful. This is bad for they who make cups. People don’t need to buy the latest and greatest. But it is very good business for they who tend the well - telling the cup-owners you don’t need the bigger and better cup; it is the water you want, anyway. The water itself is free; it has always been free; just now it is available to all. This just means that for most people, the idea of the computer looms larger than knowing the computer itself. That computers became popular not because people were told the wisdom of the machine; they saw themselves in the image of the machine. People’s minds would profit from the mind amplification that computers did. The power of the computer priests kept the love of the amplified mind together in computing systems; witness IBM. And the coordination where each cup carrying more and more water is communicated to more and more people happened; witness Steve Jobs, or Bill Gates, building successful cups. But people still wanted water; there was Google, and the internet. So now people are wanting meaning in their lives; Facebook is the current thought, and Twitter searches for the now. But philosophy of computing watches at what is permanent in the computing game. What is it about mind amplification that is real and fascinating and keeps us permanently at the keyboard of life. People are beginning to realize that loudness is not the only thing to listen to. That water, though frozen, will contain itself; there is that cup. Although cups are necessary, it is not necessary for time to run so quick, for healing, resonance, recovery, from all the interruptions that pass through life. Water is the randomness that the mind needs to have to function and flourish well. Randomness is as essential to the mind as reality is necessary to the body. Don’t be too loud you can’t listen! The water is the blood, and the spirit, that witnesses. Where what the computer is, it is the reflection of what it hears. And each person makes the choice themselves, often from what the person knows, to the path before them. Cyber Wisdom will help a great deal for each person to make the wise choice, on how to deal with computers, in their lives. Complexity is where you find it. It is not too late to change, and it is not too late, to stay the same.
