Written by Harvard-trained ex-law firm partner Liz Brown, Life After Law: Finding Work You Love with the J.D. You Have provides specific, realistic, and honest advice on alternative careers for lawyers. Unlike generic career guides, Life After Law shows lawyers how to reframe their legal experience to their competitive advantage, no matter how long they have been in or out of practice, to find work they truly love. Brown herself moved from a high-powered partnership into an alternative career and draws from this experience, as well as that of dozens of former practicing attorneys, in the book. She acknowledges that changing careers is hard much harder than it was for most lawyers to get their first legal job after law school but it can ultimately be more fulfilling for many than a life in law. Life After Law offers an alternative framework and valuable analytic tools for potential careers to help launch lawyers into new fields and make them attractive hires for non-legal employers.

"Twilight Man is biography, romance, and nonfiction mystery, carrying with it the bite of fiction." -- Los Angeles Review of Books “In Twilight Man, Liz Brown uncovers a noir fairytale, a new glimpse into the opulent Gilded Age empire of the Clark family.” —Bill Dedman, co-author of The New York Times bestseller Empty Mansions: The Mysterious Life of Huguette Clark and the Spending of a Great American Fortune The unbelievable true story of Harrison Post--the enigmatic lover of one of the richest men in 1920s Hollywood--and the battle for a family fortune. In the booming 1920s, William Andrews Clark Jr. was one of the richest, most respected men in Los Angeles. The son of the mining tycoon known as "The Copper King of Montana," Clark launched the Los Angeles Philharmonic and helped create the Hollywood Bowl. He was also a man with secrets, including a lover named Harrison Post. A former salesclerk, Post enjoyed a lavish existence among Hollywood elites, but the men''s money--and their homosexuality--made them targets, for the district attorney, their employees and, in Post''s case, his own family. When Clark died suddenly, Harrison Post inherited a substantial fortune--and a wealth of trouble. From Prohibition-era Hollywood to Nazi prison camps to Mexico City nightclubs, Twilight Man tells the story of an illicit love and the battle over a family estate that would destroy one man''s life. Harrison Post was forgotten for decades, but after a chance encounter with his portrait, Liz Brown, Clark''s great-grandniece, set out to learn his story. Twilight Man is more than just a biography. It is an exploration of how families shape their own legacies, and the lengths they will go in order to do so.

“En esta completa guía, los autores Jack Challem y Liz Brown, expertos en temas de salud y nutrición nos describen con claridad los beneficios y propiedades que pueden tener los suplementos vitamínicos en nuestro organismo.” (Web Rerum Natura) “Realiza un recorrido exacto y muy certero a través de las vitaminas más importantes, para que aprendamos a relacionarlas con los efectos que producen en el organismo y así poderlas usar para nuestro beneficio.” (Web Comentarios de libros) “Sabemos que alimentarnos correctamente, llevar un estilo de vida sano y agregar a nuestra dieta los suplementos nutricionales apropiados puede significar una gran diferencia para nuestra salud.” (Web Librería Excellence) “A lo largo de 13 capítulos ofrece acertadas descripciones sobre la relación entre la salud y las vitaminas A, C, D, E y del complejo B, sin dejar de lado a minerales como calcio, potasio, selenio, cromo, zinc, cobre, hierro, yodo y magnesio.” (Web Salud y medicinas) “Amplia tus conocimientos con este libro de ciencias humanas, perfectamente adaptado para todos los lectores por su cuidado contenido.” (Web Ultimacomic) Conocer los efectos de las vitaminas es fundamental para prevenir las enfermedades sin tener que recurrir, más adelante, a terapias farmacológicas. Una alimentación sana es fundamental para tener un buen estado de salud, pero poca gente sabe que, aún comiendo de un modo sano, no asimilamos las cantidades de vitaminas y minerales necesarias para nuestro organismo, tampoco es un dato muy difundido que el modo de cocinar los alimentos incide en la cantidad de vitaminas que asimilamos. Vitaminas y minerales esenciales para la salud nos da a conocer las vitaminas que estimulan determinados procesos bioquímicos de nuestro cuerpo, aquellas que nos ayudarán a prevenir las infecciones o enfermedades como el cáncer, pero también a pensar con más claridad y a tener más energía para el día a día. Jack Challem y Liz Brown son dos escritores acostumbrados a investigar sobre temas de salud y a publicar en revistas médicas, por ello, son asombrosas sus revelaciones sobre un tema que parece, en un principio, del dominio público, como son las vitaminas y los minerales. Conoceremos gracias a ellos las propiedades de la vitamina B3 para bloquear los alucinógenos que segregan los enfermos de esquizofrenia, o las de la vitamina B12 para protegernos de enfermedades de tipo neuronal, así como las virtudes de minerales como el calcio o el potasio que pueden aliviarnos de males como las cefaleas o las migrañas. Razones para comprar la obra: - Las guías de salud son muy sencillas, breves, directas y asequibles a todo tipo de lector, aun al que se acerca al tema por primera vez. - Prevenir las enfermedades es un problema que preocupa a todo el mundo y esta guía te ayuda a conocer los suplementos vitamínicos que te ayudarán a hacerlo. - El libro nos ofrece una alternativa a los productos químicos para llevar una vida sana agregando los suplementos vitamínicos y los minerales apropiados. - Está escrita por especialistas en salud que ofrecen múltiples soluciones para tener una salud plena durante más tiempo. Una obra completa y accesible que, no obstante, guarda muchas revelaciones sobre las vitaminas y minerales para que el lector decida si tomarlas en su alimentación diaria o recurrir a los útiles complejos vitamínicos.
