Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis was a very relevant and unforgettable character of the 20th century: first as the First Lady of the United States and after as the wife of one of the wealthiest shipping magnates in the world, she accomplished so much on her own right too: as an editor, a fashion icon and an example of elegance and grace to everyone.
Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis: A Very Brief History is a short, to-the-point book on the life of Jacqueline Kennedy, from her youth to her marriage to John F. Kennedy and time as First Lady of the United States, to her marriage to Aristotle Onassis, to her later years and death.
This is a very useful book on a remarkable person and I recommend it to anyone interested in learning more about Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis. ...more

"The natural thing to do is to work - to recognize that prosperity and happiness can be obtained only through honest effort."
My Life and Work is the autobiography of Henry Ford, an industrialist and the founder of Ford Motor Company.
On this book, Ford starts by describing his first meeting with clockworks and automobiles and a little of his story before he founded Ford Motor Company and how he worked to make it start and grow. As the Ford Motor Company become well-established and well-known, Ford presents the reader his views on business, industry and mass production, wages and money, social concerns and charity and how he applied the principles of the Ford Motor Company plants to a school, a hospital and the railroad. He also, but very superficially, mentions his anti-Semitism.
I found this book to be very interesting: Henry Ford was a visionary for his time – he kept a successful business, happy employees and happy consumers. Not only that, but he successfully applied his principles to other areas and businesses making them efficient and self-sufficient as well.
Henry Ford and the Ford Motor Company are important symbols of the 20th century automobile and industrial production; anyone who is interested in automobile and industrial history or enjoys reading biographies will enjoy this book....more
