William D. Cohan has 1 upcoming event. Gibson's Bookstore: William D. Cohan (February 11 at 19:00) William D. Cohan reads from House of Cards: A Tale of Hubris and Wretched Excess on Wall Street . Our postponed event with Mr Cohan will now be in February. His book will then be out in paperback with new material on this quickly changing topic. Is your 401k still in the tank? Do you still tremble with populist rage at the Wall Street barons who wrecked the economy? Well, get happy! We have a great ... (more)event for you. William D. Cohan published the book House of Cards: A Tale of Hubris and Wretched Excess on Wall Street in March. Though primarily about the demise of Bear Stearns, it was also illuminating on how a general culture of arrogance, coupled with bad decision making, brought the world's most powerful economy to the verge of collapse. The book was a bestseller, and Mr. Cohan appeared on The Daily Show, Jim Lehrer's News Hour, the Diane Rehm Show, and many other important media outlets, to explain exactly what happened. Now he's coming to Gibson's, to bring us all up to date. Don't miss it!

Combine with…What?Q: What is this feature for/why is it necessary? A: Because LibraryThing draws from so many different libraries, it can't enforce a single name for a given author. "Also known as" lets LibraryThing users combine author's names easily, so collections match up and everything runs smoothly. Q: Can I combine with an author not suggested above? A: Yes you can. Q: I know an author is separate, but some well-meaning but deplorably uninformed person keeps combining them! Can I take a name off the combination list? A: Yes you can. Look up! Everything in the "Combine with..." section now has a link to "never combine." Use this feature wisely. "Marc Twain" may be idiotic, but misspelling should still be combined. "Mark Twain" and "Edward Gibbon" should not. Q: What authors have already been slated to "never combine" with this author? A: No authors. Q: I am said person and I'm right! A: Take it to the Combiners group. Become a member to do this. Some author links |
