Summary
Hamdi Ulukaya is a Turkish American entrepreneur and businessman. He is the founder and CEO of Chobani, the number one-selling Greek yogurt brand in the U.S. Originating from a Kurdish dairy-farming family in a small village in Turkey, Ulukaya came to the U.S. in 1994 to study English and took a few business courses as well. He started a modest feta-cheese factory in 2002 on the advice of his father, but his real success came from taking a major risk: purchasing a large defunct yogurt factory in upstate New York in 2005. With no prior experience in the yogurt business, he created a yogurt empire, Chobani, that went from zero to over $1 billion in annual sales in less than five years, becoming the leading yogurt brand in the U.S. by 2011. Ernst & Young named Ulukaya the World Entrepreneur of the Year in 2013.

Summary
"Ernst von Dohnanyi (1877-1960) was one of the most highly respected musicians of his time. The young Dohnanyi enjoyed an international prestige that brought him into contact with such nineteenth-century masters as Johannes Brahms and Eugene d'Albert. He is remembered for his technique and interpretive skills as a pianist and conductor, as well as for the masterpieces he composed for piano, chamber ensembles, and orchestra. As a teacher and administrator, Dohnanyi was responsible for the training of an entire generation of musicians in Hungary, and for helping to shape the country's musical culture. After World War II, his career foundered when he was falsely accused of being a Nazi sympathizer. In 1953, at the age of 76, Dohnanyi returned to international prominence with a triumphant "re-debut" at Carnegie Hall. Ernst von Dohnanyi: A Song of Life, written from a firsthand perspective by Dohnanyi's widow, is the first full English-language biography of the artist. It is a book for musicians, music lovers, and anyone interested in Dohnanyi and the musical life of his times."--BOOK JACKET. Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Summary
Social Security is no bargain, but few Americans are aware of the staggering waste and inequities built into the system. This easy-to-read, opinionated and thoroughly documented book expands the debate to the areas of disability abuse, fraud, and inequitable benefit shifting. If you're not mad yet, you will be. Opinionated and well-documented, the book goes beyond discussions of the pending insolvency of Social Security to illustrate numerous distortions in the way Social Security distributions are made, often to the benefit of those who need it least. The author exposes how Social Security is implemented - who wins, who loses, and how the game is played; and offers suggestions for improvements to the system. A CPA and an MBA, Fried illustrates his points with easy-to-follow scenarios and offers prescriptions to make the system more equitable. By now, most people realize that Social Security is no bargain, but few are aware of the staggering waste and inequities built into the system. This succinct and focused book expands the Social Security debate to the areas of disability abuse, fraud, and inequitable benefit shifting. Teachers in Texas just pulled in nearly half a billion dollars in Social Security benefits, awarded on the basis of a "loophole"; but, you and I know that Social Security won't be there when we need it. This and many other anomalies, created and permitted for political reasons (e.g., powerful employee unions), are clearly presented in this thoroughly-documented book. "Joseph Fried has put together an excellent examination of our government Social Security program and why it must be changed ... Plus, the book is a fun read."--Walter E. Williams, John M. Olin Distinguished Professor of Economics, George Mason University. "Mr. Fried has done three things here: written a cracking good story, revealed everything important about the retirement system for most Americans, and offered solutions to the looming disaster that are worth your consideration."- Jameson Campaigne, Jr., Secretary, American Conservative Union. Joseph Fried, MBA, CPA, has been a practicing accountant with Ernst & Young and with his own firm for over 20 years He has counseled small business clients in compensation planning and retirement planning, and the cost-benefits of Social Security.
