If they had had this book they might have avoided their mistakes. For anyone wishing to understand financial markets, there is no better guide.

Point option : a time-travel military thriller. / by O'Connor, Ian A.,1944-author.(CARDINAL)872192;
"United States Air Force Major Dave Fleming has a job men would kill for. As one of three exchange fighter pilots chosen to fly with the premier US Navy attack squadron aboard America's newest aircraft carrier, little does he know that his life is about to be changed forever! Point Option is a time-travel thriller that unfolds over a tense, six-day period aboard the aircraft carrier Lyndon Baines Johnson on patrol with its Strike Group in the Mediterranean Sea. Suddenly, and without warning, Fleming's hyper-dangerous world of flying off a pitching deck turns into a pilot's worst nightmare. Point Option is jam-packed with more twists and turns than an out-of-control fighter jet; a world where Major Fleming finds himself an unwitting passenger on a supersonic ride into the deepest unknown destination - a place where even angels fear to tread. The odds for his survival are bleak, and any hope for escape will challenge all the finely honed skills he can muster. It's now become a matter of time; and time is his one commodity that is fast running out!" --

The new Wild West : black gold, fracking, and life in a North Dakota boomtown / by Briody, Blaire,author.(CARDINAL)416953;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 321-336).Williston, North Dakota was a sleepy farm town for generations--until the frackers arrived. The oil companies moved into Williston, overtaking the town and setting off a boom that America hadn't seen since the Gold Rush. Workers from all over the country descended, chasing jobs that promised them six-figure salaries and demanded no prior experience. But for every person chasing the American dream, there is a darker side--reports of violence and sexual assault skyrocketed, schools overflowed, and housing prices soared. Real estate is such a hot commodity that tent cities popped up, and many workers' only option was to live out of their cars. Farmers whose families had tended the land for generations watched, powerless, as their fields were bulldozed to make way for one oil rig after another. Written in the vein Ted Conover and Jon Krakauer, using a mix of first-person adventure and cultural analysis, The New Wild West is the definitive account of what's happening on the ground and what really happens to a community when the energy industry is allowed to set up in a town with little regulation or oversight--and at what cost. 1020L
