This book represents an approach which is intended to give readers a general insight into what translators really do and to explain the concepts and tools of the trade, bearing in mind that translation cannot be reduced to simple principles that can easily be separated from each other and thus be handled in isolation. On the whole, the book is more process- than product-centred.

Citizen in Chief - The Second Lives of the American Presidents
Eight presidents died in office, leaving 34 whose subsequent careers make up this remarkably revealing history. Journalists Benardo and Weiss (coauthors of Brooklyn by Name) point out that America's founders believed pensions smacked of royal privilege, so ex-presidents were on their own. Some have handled the transition more gracefully than others.
Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) is as an enterprise-wide, integrated (holistic) approach to corporate management. The aim is to increase corporate value by systematic risks responding and securing the company's goals against disruptive events. The essential distinction compared to traditional risk management approaches is the overcoming of the silo mentality in which individual risk categories are handled today. The book not only details the different requirements of ERM but also provides numerous checklists and best practice examples.
For those of you who may not know they are a team of FBI profilers, spending their time trying to get into the heads of seriously whacked criminals. Headed by Jason Gideon, the strongest character, the rest of the cast has grown on us in a very pleasant, comfortable way. Especially Garcia computer goddess and brassy broad of the first water. She is a hoot :) The rest of the cast is very nicely handled from genius/geek Dr. Reid to the buttoned down Aaron Hotchner.
