Bill Bradley

A collection of four short stories with a nautical theme. From the 'First Time Out' which is a primer/ starter for the beginner boater, to two others that take the reader from the stormy seas of the Atlantic 'Gulf Stream' to a storm rescue on Lake St. Clair in the Great Lakes. The final story 'A River Away' is a historical record of Lake St. Clair, Detroit River, and Windsor, Ontario and Canada. The book is 55 pages, 5"x7". A wonderful gift for amateur or seasoned boater. It is an addition to the 'Pirate's Guide to Lake St. Clair & Surrounding Waters' boaters guide book.

Like tentacles on a vast octopus, the firsthand investigations in The Blood Bankers all lead to one core. A financial detective of sorts, investigative journalist Jim Henry analyzes a range of scandals, including the looting of the Philippines by the Marcos family and the financial collapse of nations throughout the developing world. A rogues' gallery of international criminals owes its existence to the dramatic growth of the underground global economy over the last two decades. Our world is being reshaped, often in sinister fashion, by wide open capital markets and an international banking network that exists to launder hundreds of billions of dollars in ill-gotten gains. Here is an inside look at globalization's dark sidethe new high growth global markets for influence-peddling, capital flight, money laundering, weapons, drugs, tax evasion, child labor, illegal immigration, and other forms of transnational crime.

More than twenty years after Bill Bradley retired from the New York Knicks to become a United States senator, his account of twenty days in a pro basketball season remains a classic in sports literature. Unparalleled in its candor and intelligence, the book takes readers from the court to the locker room, to the loneliness of a motel in a strange city.
