Hardback. New. From a founding editor at TechCrunch and an award-winning communication strategist comes the most comprehensive guide to the newest fundraising options for today's entrepreneurs. For startup entrepreneurs, fundraising in this decade has changed dramatically. There was a time when VCs were rock stars and a single founder with a great idea, a team, and a little drive could raise a few hundred thousand dollars to build a business. But those days are gone. In the aftermath of the Great Recession and the massive tech investment contraction in 2014, it has become harder and harder for founders to raise money. In Get Funded! tech journalist and entrepreneur John Biggs and communication strategist Eric Villines explain the new funding landscape and the exciting tech-driven models available to entrepreneurs--including crowdfunding platforms like GoFundMe, cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, IEOs (Initial Exchange Offerings), micro-loans, and micro-donations--as well as more traditional, tried-and-true methods. Beyond a road map to the current world of funding, Get Funded! presents proven strategies for pitching, marketing, and bootstrapping. A 360-degree tool with easy-to-follow worksheets and online resources, this book will help entrepreneurs build a sustainable funding strategy that is right for their business and will demonstrate how to flawlessly execute it for success. Whether you're starting a food truck or a biotech startup, Get Funded! has you covered., 6, New York: Pocket Books - Simon & Schuster Inc., 1989.

SYNOPSIS: June 25, 1950: North Korean troops crossed the thirty-eighth parallel into South Korea. Within ninety days the U.S. had assembled the 1st Marine Division-for Korea and all-out war. Young kids and retreads from World War II, they stormed the beach at Inchon and pushed back the North Korean People's Army. One of history's great feats of arms had begun. Charged with seizing the Chosin Reservoir in North Korea, they advanced through treacherous mountain passes - into the teeth of seven well-armed Chinese regiments. Surrounded by an enemy that wasn't supposed to be there, savaged by brutal Arctic weather conditions, for forty bloody days they inflicted heavy casualties, striking back with rifles, machine guns, grenades, bayonets and everything they had in the most violent small-unit fighting in the history of American warfare. In their own words, here are the never-before-told stories of the 1st Marines: their heroic fight through enemy forces to the Sea of Japan - bringing with them most of their dead and all of their wounded - and their incredible triumph of courage, sacrifice and valour. Jim Wilson was drafted and served with the army in Korea. He has been with the Los Angeles Times for twenty-five years. To interview the veterans of the 1st Marines, Mr. Wilson traveled more than five thousand miles, and he has recorded their compelling stories in Retreat, Hell! Lt. John Yancey: An outspoken, hard-fighting marine, he'd won the Navy Cross at Guadalcanal in World War II. Now he was called to lead a platoon in one more war. "Yancey never said, 'We'll take that hill,'" recalled one of the men he commanded. "He said, 'Follow me up the hill . . . '" PFC Robert Johnson: On November 27, 1950, he was the "point" who led the marines into position outside Yudam-ni. It was a battle no one expected-and hard to fathom when it was over. "I couldn't believe the number of bodies that were there. There were Chinese as far as the eye could see, just nothing but frozen bodies . . . " Pvt. Stanley Robinson: A brig rat and a fearless fighter, he was pulled from his platoon to ride shotgun for the regimental commander. But when the situation got desperate on Hill 1282, he rose from his cot in the aid station and trudged on frostbitten feet to help his old platoon . . . Capt. William E. Barber: he led a company of 222 men at the marines' vital position on Toktong Pass. Surrounded by Chinese, holding out against incredible odds for five days and nights, Fox Company stood its ground. Wounded in action, Barber hobbled, crawled, walked with the help of others, and was carried on a stretcher between positions as he checked his lines . . . Lt. Col. Douglas B. Drysdale: He was commander of the British Royal Marines in Korea, whose crack commandos combined with two U.S. relief companies to break through to the Marines trapped at Hagaru. He led a convoy of 922 men, 141 vehicles, and 29 tanks, ordered to run the gauntlet between the equivalent of three Chinese regiments, dug in on both sides of the road . . . Cpl. Jerry Maill: Fire controller for the British 81mm mortar platoon, he made it into Hagaru lying on the hood of a truck firing a .30-caliber machine gun at enemy troops. "The order had been clear: Break through at all costs. We were determined that somebody would, even if it was only one man . . . ". First Thus 1st Printing. Mass Market Paperback. Very Good.

Others have been kept in working condition by using Russian truck engines and hand-forged parts. -Chariots of Chrome is an eye-popping pictorial tribute to those generously proportioned American automobiles, once loved and now lost, that still enjoy a vibrant old age in Cuba.

New. The landing in Normandy and the military operations that took it follow-up required the implementation of logistical and technological means unprecedented. Artificial ports and submarine pipelines deployed across the Channel to supply the armies fighters on the continent are now known to the general public. Nevertheless, they are just two of the components of the amazing logistics machine deployed by the Allies. For each fighter present on the front line, ten men are lined up in support, ranging from the munitionnaire to the quartermaster, through the gunsmith, the cook, the truck driver or the nurse who will take care of them in case of injury. All these men and women stayed too much in The shadow. The Allies have shown a lot of ingenuity. Their adaptability allowed them to overcome the many difficulties they have faced and thus remain in capacity to defeat the armies of the Third Reich. Two million five hundred thousand men, five hundred thousand vehicles and four million tonnes of materials were sent to Normandy in barely a hundred days., 6, Ford Motor Company, 1968.

New York: Walker & Company, 1987. E1 - A first edition (complete numberline) hardcover book SIGNED and inscribed by Bill Crider to preivous owner on the title page in very good condition in very good dust jacket that is mylar protected. Book has soiled patch on the bottom of a few inside pages, dust jacket and book have some bumped corners, light discoloration and shelf wear. 8.5"x5.75", 185 pages. Satisfaction Guaranteed. Sheriff Dan Rhodes knows it's going to be a bad day when Bert Ramsey arrives at the jail with a neatly wrapped arm and lays it on Dan's desk. He has another out in the truck, he tells the sheriff, and "a couple of legs, too, but they don't match up". To Rhodes's relief, the severed limbs - part of a large cache Bert has discovered while clearing brush - are not evidence of a mass murderer at large in Blacklin County, but something more on a par with the usual emergencies the Texas lawman has to deal with: Cows loose in the churchyard, 90-year-old Mrs. Thurman's periodic attacks of "blindness" (which Rhodes cures by sending out a deputy with fresh light bulbs), and the like. Meanwhile, back at the jail, his attenuated employees are bristling about the new deputy, a highly qualified police officer, but a woman, and the air conditioner has collapsed during the heat wave. Plus his personal life has its own problems; does he or does he not want to marry Ivy Daniel? Then Bert Ramsey is shot to death, and serious crime takes over. A tattoo on the body discloses that Ramsey was once a member of Los Muertos, a violent motorcycle gang from the city, and current members of the gang turn up in Blacklin County. There are questions: Where did the town handyman get the money to buy two color television sets, two VCRs, and a houseful of new furniture? Not to mention six thousand dollars in cash rolled up in a sock in Bert's dresser drawer. Dan Rhodes doesn't have access to the high-tech detection methods of city police - and probably wouldn't use them if he had. Dan has to talk to people and sift the facts from the lies. If he is careful, he believes, and keeps it up, he'll usually get results. "Keeping it up" involves tangling with Wyneva Greer, Ramsey's former girlfriend now living with a mysterious newcomer to the town, Buster Cullens. Buster becomes the next murder victim - of the same killer? Rhodes isn't sure. He soon tangles with the bikers, sustaining a certain amount of damage in the process. Dan Rhodes is, in the words of Newgate Callender of The New York Times Book Review, "a quiet man, an honest man and a stubborn man", and it seems that no amount of violence is going to deter him from getting to the bottom of the murders in his relatively peaceful and beautifully evoked Texas county..
