    This is the story of a man who researched his family tree only to find it had been growing in a forest full of unusual life.His family began arriving in Sydney, Australia in 1839, whether by choice or by the order of an overworked judge. Either way, they left their old ways (and sometimes, spouses) behind and began a new life (sometimes with new spouses).While the O'Brien and Kingdom families had their share of interesting people, so did life around them. There were heroes, villains, brilliant minds, and utter morons. There was thrilling entertainment (until television arrived), political shenanigans, sporting successes and complete failures. There were some extraordinary stories in some extraordinary times.With a dry sense of humour and the odd tear in his eye, Michael O'Brien tells the tale of his family and the world they lived in. It is funny, it is sad, it is tragic, it is triumphant.It is their story … and it is history.

  • - Notes from a Reading Life

    Drawn from the notebooks he kept over the course of forty years, A Pillow-Book provides a welcome opportunity to listen in on the conversation poet Michael O’Brien maintained with the world in all its ravishing and rebarbative complexity. That world includes the writers he most valued, the art he practiced so devotedly, the painters and filmmakers that stirred him, the nation that sometimes confounded him, and the city he moved through with such unstinting regard.Consisting primarily of brief passages gleaned from his reading, further enriched by his own observations and commentary, A Pillow-Book captures all the intelligence, subtlety, and wit so manifest in O’Brien’s poems. Michael O’Brien’s A Pillow-Book is a kind of blueprint or x-ray of the sensibility of one of recent poetry’s neglected masters. Unpredictable, quirky, chock-a-block with coruscating insights that are completely individual and revelatory. A treasure.                                              —August Kleinzahler Michael O’Brien was a writer of meditative wit, generous spirit, and a powerful receptiveness to the most fleeting juxtapositions and suggestions. His poetry—spare, rigorous, preternaturally alert, and still profoundly underestimated—found large perspectives in the most minute phenomena, music in the accidental encounters of overheard conversations and other floating signifiers, biographies and social histories in intercepted gestures and stances. A Pillow-Book extracts another kind of music from his reading over many years, and from the dazzling commentary it drew from him. It is a privilege to share, in this oblique fashion, Michael’s astute and endlessly curious intellectual companionship.                        —Geoffrey O’Brien

    475,-

    Current and future managers are regularly confronted with decisions that create risk in the legal environment of business. This book provides a framework for qualifying legal risk and then determining if the legal risk is worth taking. This framework begins by looking at the relationship between the firm, its suppliers, customers, owners, agents, and others in society as a whole to understand specific risks in personal injury, agreements, products, borrowing money, employees, independent contractors, and business entity selection. When the manager is aware of the magnitude of the risk and the likelihood of the risk, the manager is in a strong position to determine if the risk is worth taking. This book uses numerous applications from Game Theory to determine how risks of the firm compare to risks of another firm, an employee, a vendor and a customer.Students of business law will appreciate the black letter legal discussions of civil procedure, torts, contracts, the sale of goods, secured transactions, agency, and business associations with tax implications. Aspiring accounting students will find familiarity with many topics that appear on the AICPA exam. Managers will gravitate toward specific guidance with regard to setting up agreements with customers and vendors, creating effective human relations policies, and mitigating firm risks with regard to internal and external stakeholders. Dozens of managers provided input and experience that found its way into the selection of examples in the book ensuring real-world application for many practical business law problems.
