Meet Harvey, a boy born in California in the midst of the Great Depression. The historic and political events of the time helped mold the direction of his life. The autobiography shows that life doesn't just happen. Instead apparently disconnected experiences, actions and circumstances join to affect a person's growth and relationships to the world and those around him. Surviving the worldwide depression, listening and watching World War II unfold in the media and in newsreels at movie theaters - as well as rationing- and their impact on the home front left an impression on Harvey and his family. Set against the back drop of world events are stories of Harvey' s Family members and how they live, love and have fun together, as well as how they cope and survive sickness and adversity. His memoir also cites personal involvement with the rehabilitation and staffing of a service station burned during the Watts riots and some of the effects of foreign crude suppliers on the petroleum industry. Readers can follow the author's career in his company, as well as his retirement, health scares and the chance to fully embrace his interests in life. Representing "every man" Riggs' detailed telling of his story will strike a chord with anyone who has wondered what paths his own life might have taken. Harvey Wiley Riggs was born in 1934, the second of six children for his loving parents. He learned many trades as a young man served in the U.S. Marine Corps and retired from Chevron Oil Co. after nearly 37 years, working in all aspects of petroleum marketing. Riggs has been married to his sweetheart, Beverly for more than 55 years after meeting in junior college. They have two daughters and four grandchildren. The author enjoys friends and family, traveling, classic cars, volunteers for city committees, professional and private organizations and devotes many hours to training and promoting the health and wellness of Flat Coated Retrievers.

What will your 100-year life look like? A new edition of the international bestseller, featuring a new preface 'Brilliant, timely, original, well written and utterly terrifying' Niall Ferguson Does the thought of working for 60 or 70 years fill you with dread? Or can you see the potential for a more stimulating future as a result of having so much extra time? Many of us have been raised on the traditional notion of a three-stage approach to our working lives: education, followed by work and then retirement. But this well-established pathway is already beginning to collapse – life expectancy is rising, final-salary pensions are vanishing, and increasing numbers of people are juggling multiple careers. Whether you are 18, 45 or 60, you will need to do things very differently from previous generations and learn to structure your life in completely new ways. The 100-Year Life is here to help. Drawing on the unique pairing of their experience in psychology and economics, Lynda Gratton and Andrew J. Scott offer a broad-ranging analysis as well as a raft of solutions, showing how to rethink your finances, your education, your career and your relationships and create a fulfilling 100-year life. · How can you fashion a career and life path that defines you and your values and creates a shifting balance between work and leisure? · What are the most effective ways of boosting your physical and mental health over a longer and more dynamic lifespan? · How can you make the most of your intangible assets – such as family and friends – as you build a productive, longer life? · In a multiple-stage life how can you learn to make the transitions that will be so crucial and experiment with new ways of living, working and learning? Shortlisted for the FT/McKinsey Business Book of the Year Award and featuring a new preface, The 100-Year Life is a wake-up call that describes what to expect and considers the choices and options that you will face. It is also fundamentally a call to action for individuals, politicians, firms and governments and offers the clearest demonstration that a 100-year life can be a wonderful and inspiring one.

Imagining the future has been a significant part of the mass culture and a way for our collective consciousness to process the world around us and our expectations of what's to come. Science fiction was one of the first genres to emerge as soon as the moving image was made possible a little more than a hundred years ago. Over the XX century, as we have seen technology advancing faster than ever, sci-fi has always been exceptional at pushing the boundaries of what is possible, both visually and conceptually.This book showcases the evolution of the genre by taking a closer look at some of the most visionary science fiction films, the themes and ideas they raise, and how they correlate with the context they were released into. It is an attempt at providing a comprehensive analysis of the relation between the imaginary worlds of the future and the fears and aspirations of the general public. Ranging from the earliest attempts at imagining the future to the epic space operas, it lists the undisputed classics of science fiction, providing an entertaining read for the die-hard fans of the genre, and an educational overview of the must-see titles for people want to learn more about sci-fi and how it became what it is now.

Why did the United States lag behind Germany, Britain, and Sweden in adopting a national plan for the elderly? When the Social Security Act was finally enacted in 1935, why did it depend on a class-based double standard? Why is old age welfare in the United States still less comprehensive than its European counterparts? In this sophisticated analytical chronicle of one hundred years of American welfare history, Jill Quadagno explores the curious birth of old age assistance in the United States. Grounded in historical research and informed by social science theory, the study reveals how public assistance grew from colonial-era poor laws, locally financed and administered, into a massive federal bureaucracy.

By 1885, Daniel Freeman owned a successful 25,000-acre ranch along the coastline in Southern California. That year, he sold parcels to J.S. Vosberg, and this became the site of the town of El Segundo. The Standard Oil Company of California purchased 840 acres of dunes in June 1911, and R.J. Hanna was hired to construct and manage the new refinery. His wife is credited with naming the town El Segundo ("the second"), as it was the location of the second Standard Oil plant. The city quickly expanded and was incorporated on January 18, 1917. From an early oil town to the "Aerospace Capital of the World" in the mid-1950s, El Segundo today includes a thriving residential community as well as several Fortune 500 corporations, an Air Force base, and the Chevron El Segundo Refinery.
