The cemetery keeper's wife / by McFadden, Maryann,author.(CARDINAL)491659;
What happens when the line between the past and the present begins to blur? Rachel Miller is on the cusp of a new life when she moves to Union Cemetery after marrying Adam, the 7th generation cemetery keeper. Though she's known him only twelve weeks, his tender love seems like a miracle of fate after her years alone. On her first walk through the lush and silent grounds of her new home, Rachel discovers a stunning monument to Tillie Smith, who died in 1886. Reading the words carved into the stone, "She Died in Defence of Her Honor." Rachel is overcome by a powerful memory buried deep in her past. A series of uncanny coincidences linked to Tillie Smith follows, setting Rachel on a journey that grows into an obsession. "The Cemetery Keeper's Wife" poignantly blends fact and fiction as two women scarred by shame, and separated by more than a century, reach across time to rewrite history.--Publisher.

The more than 150 cemeteries distributed throughout Great Smoky Mountains National Park reveal the cultural history of the area from a special perspective. Each of the thousands of diverse monuments located within the cemeteries offers insights into the hardships, attitudes, economies, and beliefs of the people who called the Smokies home. Cemeteries of the Smokies is a long-awaited, landmark work, featuring directions to all known cemeteries, in-depth histories of each site, deeds and ownership information, maintenance policies, and, of course, a list of all known burials with dates, kinship links, and epitaphs. No other source offers such complete information in one place, attractively displayed with color photographs, detailed lists and charts, and an index of family names." -- back cover

Of course, figuring out investing questions is not as important and certainly not as enduring as figuring out the basic laws of physics, but it certainly is, has been, and likely will be as fascinating--and more fun for readers concerned about our investments. (Hint: that means all of us.) Readers leafing through Charley Ellis' masterworks will enjoy being reminded of some of the great controversies that animated the world of professional investing over the past sixty years from a keen observer in the investment profession. In short, Ellis lived through those controversies and played his part in figuring them out, observing the remarkable minds that solve the most vexing questions in investments. When Ellis left Harvard Business School with an MBA and headed to Wall Street and a happy career in investing, HBS offered no courses in investing, there were no CFAs, and almost nobody was interested in the stock or bond markets. At that time, worldwide employment in the securities and investment fields was less than 5,000. Half a century later, employment was well over 500,000 and HBS offered three dozen courses on all sorts of investing, and almost everyone seemed interested in the securities markets. At least as important, the average talent of the men and women in engaged in all aspects of investing had steadily increased to make the field known today for having many of the most talented, best informed, hardest working, and best paid people in the world. Belief in bonds as the way to damp down changes in the stock market continues among investors and their advisers. This will likely continue. The "opportunity cost" of owning bonds vs. owning stocks is hard to compare to the "anxiety cost" of being exposed to stock market fluctuations. Canards like "Invest your age in bonds" are easy to remember and somehow sound like experience-based wisdom. But Ellis encourages investors to view their securities portfolios correctly as only one component of their Total Financial Portfolio which, for most of us, has large stable value components like our homes, the net present value of our future incomes or savings and our Social Security benefits. Figuring It Out, like eyewitness reports from the field, tell Ellis' unique story of learning about important aspects of investing. Learning as you invest is exactly what make an investor even more savvy and disciplined"--

Who is government? : the untold story of public service / by Lewis, Michael(Michael M.),editor,author.(CARDINAL)773826; Cep, Casey N.,author.(CARDINAL)805032; Eggers, Dave,author.(CARDINAL)344956; Lanchester, John,author.(CARDINAL)392724; Brooks, Geraldine,author.(CARDINAL)383748; Vowell, Sarah,1969-author.(CARDINAL)290359; Bell, W. Kamau,author.(CARDINAL)341347;
"The government is a vast, complex system that Americans pay for, rebel against, rely upon, dismiss, and celebrate. It's also our shared resource for addressing the biggest problems of society. And it's made up of people, mostly unrecognized and uncelebrated, doing work that can be deeply consequential and beneficial to everyone. Michael Lewis invited his favorite writers to find someone doing an interesting job for the government and write about them in a special in-depth series for the Washington Post. The stories they found are unexpected, riveting, and inspiring, including a former coal miner devoted to making mine roofs less likely to collapse, saving thousands of lives; an IRS agent straight out of a crime thriller; and the manager who made the National Cemetery Administration the best-run organization, public or private, in the entire country. Each essay shines a spotlight on the essential behind-the-scenes work of exemplary federal employees. Whether they're digitizing archives, chasing down cybercriminals, or discovering new planets, these public servants are committed to their work and universally reluctant to take credit. Expanding on the Washington Post series, the vivid profiles in Who Is Government? blow up the stereotype of the irrelevant bureaucrat. They show how the essential business of government makes our lives possible, and how much it matters."--
