Description
Run to Failure: BP and the Making of the Deepwater Horizon DisasterBP bought one company after another and then relentlessly fired employees and cut costs. It skipped safety procedures, pumped toxic chemicals back into the ground, and let equipment languish, even while Browne claimed a new era of environmentally sustainable business as his own. For a while the strategy worked, making BP one of the most profitable corporations in the world. Then it all began to unravel, in felony convictions for environmental crimes
BP bought one company after another and then relentlessly fired employees and cut costs. It skipped safety procedures, pumped toxic chemicals back into the ground, and let equipment languish, even while Browne claimed a new era of environmentally sustainable business as his own. For a while the strategy worked, making BP one of the most profitable corporations in the world. Then it all began to unravel, in felony convictions for environmental crimes and in one deadly accident after another. Employees and regulators warned that BP's problems, unfixed, were spinning out of control, that another disaster--bigger and deadlier--was inevitable. Nobody was listening.
Having reported on business and the energy industry for nearly a decade, Abrahm Lustgarten uses interviews with key executives, former government investigators, and whistle-blowers along with his exclusive access to BP's internal documents and emails to weave a spellbinding investigative narrative of hubris and greed well before the gulf oil spill.

Won't open wide enough.
Size: Large, Color: 1-beige
The purse looks very good. However it only opens 4". It is very difficult to quickly find items when trying to make s purchase. Especially when there is a long line.

Bag is gorgeous! Rich shades of color!
Color: 1-shell Plus Brown, Color: 1-shell Plus Brown
I was expecting to return because of some of the feedback. Some said it is cheaply made, no lining, small, stiff. It is larger than I expected which is perfect for me and not that stiff, more sturdy and durable is what I call it. The shading on this one is like a mauve on the outside and towards the middle is brown and in the very middle, a dark olive green. The lining is really nice espresso brown with 2 smaller pockets, one large middle zipper and one zip pocket on rear wall. I haven't removed the plastic off the handles yet and off the hanging gold circle. Comes with the long strap for crossbody so exceeded every expectation for me. I feel that once it is filled and breaks in a little, it will look richer and richer. This was worth every penny for me and probably going to be my favorite every day bag!

super deal !!
Color: 1-colorful Blue
i got this purse on a special deal pricing for 19.99 & wow what a steal...........its a well made purse........vibrant color....its more a matte finish instead of shiny.........and if ur familiar with brahman this would be the small duxbury style...........im so glad it was the smaller one because the large duxbury is just awkwardly too big for petite gals like me lol.............very happy with my purchase & so glad i found this company............im an avid brahman fan as well & when i saw styles that brahman discontinued & now this company has them i was very happy :) these are excellent dupes but keep in mind they are dupes & price range is super so lining may be a bit thinner but not a deal breaker for me - lining was fine enough to hold up & instead of leather they use vegan leather - but dont be scared lol the vegan leather they use is very heavy duty & will hold up............im not a fan of vegan leather but i made an exception for this company............please keep making this style as well as the other styles u have - im a super fan !!! (ps- the small duxbury is still in use by brahman - its not discontinued - others styles on this companies websites are discontinued by brahman - so if u dont want to pay over 200.00 then this is an excellent option )
