How much power does the position actually hold? How publicly should that power be wielded? First Ladies tells the story of this curious institution and the evolution of these women's role from ceremonial backdrop to substantive world figure. This expanded edition brings us up to the present, examining the legacies of our three most recent First Ladies: Nancy Reagan, credited with raising the job to that of ""Associate President""; Barbara Bush, who took a more traditional approach); and Hillary Rodham Clinton, 606 $aPresidents' spouses$zUnited States$vBiography 606 $aPoliticians' spouses$zUnited States$vBiography 615 0$aPresidents' spouses 615 0$aPoliticians' spouses 676 $a973.099 676 $a973.0992B 676 $a973/.099 B 700 $aCaroli$b Betty Boyd$0305185 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910782532503321 996 $aFirst ladies$93800355 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03278nam 22006133u 450 001 9910781502903321 005 20230725050856.0 010 $a0-470-82865-X 010 $a1-280-75865-1 010 $a9786613678003 010 $a0-470-82864-1 035 $a(CKB)2550000000042742 035 $a(EBL)693371 035 $a(OCoLC)751685410 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000568649 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)12200524 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000568649 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10536348 035 $a(PQKB)10086977 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC693371 035 $a(EXLCZ)992550000000042742 100 $a20130418d2011|||| u|| | 101 0 $aeng 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aAmerican Wheels, Chinese Roads$b[electronic resource] $eThe Story of General Motors in China 210 $aChichester $cWiley$d2011 215 $a1 online resource (250 p.) 300 $aDescription based upon print version of record. 311 $a0-470-82861-7 327 $aAmerican Wheels Chinese Roads: The Story of General Motors in China; Contents; Acknowledgments; Introduction; Part One: Rules of the Chinese Road; 1: Scaling New Heights; 2: Many Detroits; 3: Getting a Foothold-In Quicksand; 4: The Back Door; 5: The Hook; 6: A Reality Show; Part Two: Pole Position, Yellow Flags; 7: The Kit Price; 8: Putting Shanghai First; 9: Signing the Deal; 10: Two Sons; Part Three: Negotiating the Obstacle Course; 11: The Launch; 12: Fiefdoms; 13: Paper Cups; 14: The Cherry Surprise; 15: Porsches and Sweet Potatoes; 16: Getting Their Arms Around China 327 $aPart Four: Quick Acceleration, Then a Tight Corner 17: The Best and Worst of Times; 18: Miniature Vehicles; 19: A Chill Wind; 20: The Favor; Part Five: The End of the Beginning; 21: A Memory Palace; 22: The Great Tide; 23: Electric Cars and Elevators; Conclusion: The End of the Beginning; Index 330 $aHow could one company-General Motors-meet disaster on one continent and achieve explosive growth on another at the very same time? While General Motors was hurtling towards bankruptcy in 2009, GM's subsidiary in China was setting new sales and profit records. This book reveals how extraordinary people, remarkable decisions and surprising breaks made triumph in China possible for General Motors. It also shows just how vulnerable that winning track record remains. No small part of GM's success in China springs from its management of shifting business and political relationships. 606 $aAutomobile industry and trade -- China 606 $aCorporations, Foreign -- China 606 $aGeneral Motors Corporation 606 $aAutomobile industry and trade$zChina 606 $aCorporations, Foreign$zChina 615 4$aAutomobile industry and trade -- China. 615 4$aCorporations, Foreign -- China. 615 4$aGeneral Motors Corporation. 615 0$aAutomobile industry and trade 615 0$aCorporations, Foreign 676 $a338.476292 676 $a338.76292220951 700 $aDunne$b Michael J$0181850 801 0$bAU-PeEL 801 1$bAU-PeEL 801 2$bAU-PeEL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910781502903321 996 $aAmerican Wheels, Chinese Roads$93847300 997 $aUNINA
