Book Description
Excerpt from Commanders of the Dining Room: Biographic Sketches and Portraits of Successful Head Waiters In publishing this work of biographic sketches and portraits of successful head waiters of America, it is with the full confidence that the proprietors, managers and patronizing public of hotels, will appreciate the recognition given these deserving men who labor zealously always for the success of the hotel, and the comfort of their patrons. Certainly, the close relationship of the waiters with those things that are necessary to satisfy the appetite, and their efficient manner in serving the same, should endear the men in the dining room and the head waiter at the door to the heart of every one who enjoys the luxurious comforts of an up-to-date American hotel dining room. It is true, of course, that to be entitled to such recognition, one should have achieved eminent success in one or more of the high callings of the world. But there is, however, an exception to every rule, and in this case, it is a very justifiable one; for, while it may not be said that these men have achieved success in what is recognized as the higher callings, yet, nevertheless, they have undoubtedly achieved success in that calling which circumstances have forced a number of them, many of whom, had conditions been otherwise, would have attained positions of eminence in any one of the higher callings into which the natural force of the worlds current might have carried them, like other men, who have been unhampered in the development of their natural ability, and unrestricted in their movement through the various channels of operation. As human plants, dwarfed by a force, unnatural to the design of the Creator, that they have made commendable success, and have shown natural ability is a fact which is sufficient under the circumstances, to entitle them to this biographic recognition. It will also be appreciated that though a head waiters position may not be regarded as one of the highest callings, his functions, however, are very important in the hotel industry. By no means is the position simply what the title designates. There was a time when the duty of the man bearing the title "Head Waiter," was merely what the title signifies, and nothing more; but to-day, that title is a misnomer, as it fails to express the real duties of the position. Keeping abreast with the other industries, and the increasing wealth and population of the country, the hotel business has developed to an enormous proportion and demands in the position of a head waiter, or more correctly speaking, superintendent of the dining room, ability very much greater than a mere mastery of the art of good waiting.

Book Description
Scores of talented and dedicated people serve the forensic science community, performing vitally important work. However, they are often constrained by lack of adequate resources, sound policies, and national support. It is clear that change and advancements, both systematic and scientific, are needed in a number of forensic science disciplines to ensure the reliability of work, establish enforceable standards, and promote best practices with consistent application. Strengthening Forensic Science in the United States: A Path Forward provides a detailed plan for addressing these needs and suggests the creation of a new government entity, the National Institute of Forensic Science, to establish and enforce standards within the forensic science community. The benefits of improving and regulating the forensic science disciplines are clear: assisting law enforcement officials, enhancing homeland security, and reducing the risk of wrongful conviction and exoneration. Strengthening Forensic Science in the United States gives a full account of what is needed to advance the forensic science disciplines, including upgrading of systems and organizational structures, better training, widespread adoption of uniform and enforceable best practices, and mandatory certification and accreditation programs. While this book provides an essential call-to-action for congress and policy makers, it also serves as a vital tool for law enforcement agencies, criminal prosecutors and attorneys, and forensic science educators.

Mein Kampf

ISBN:
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 522
Book Description
Madman, tyrant, animal—history has given Adolf Hitler many names. In Mein Kampf (My Struggle), often called the Nazi bible, Hitler describes his life, frustrations, ideals, and dreams. Born to an impoverished couple in a small town in Austria, the young Adolf grew up with the fervent desire to become a painter. The death of his parents and outright rejection from art schools in Vienna forced him into underpaid work as a laborer. During the First World War, Hitler served in the infantry and was decorated for bravery. After the war, he became actively involved with socialist political groups and quickly rose to power, establishing himself as Chairman of the National Socialist German Worker's party. In 1924, Hitler led a coalition of nationalist groups in a bid to overthrow the Bavarian government in Munich. The infamous Munich "Beer-hall putsch" was unsuccessful, and Hitler was arrested. During the nine months he was in prison, an embittered and frustrated Hitler dictated a personal manifesto to his loyal follower Rudolph Hess. He vented his sentiments against communism and the Jewish people in this document, which was to become Mein Kampf, the controversial book that is seen as the blue-print for Hitler's political and military campaign. In Mein Kampf, Hitler describes his strategy for rebuilding Germany and conquering Europe. It is a glimpse into the mind of a man who destabilized world peace and pursued the genocide now known as the Holocaust.
