Carolina Tractor & Equipment Company

Autor Amy Rogers
en Limba Engleză Hardback
Founded on honesty, hard work, conservative management, and family commitment, Carolina Tractor & Equipment Company was established in 1926 by L.M. Weisiger. "Mr. Les," as he was known, became an engineer for the South Carolina State Highway Department after serving in the US Army during World War I. To meet the growing demand for new roads during the mid-1920s, he formed Weisiger Paving Company and later, in 1930, purchased the controlling interest of Carolina Tractor. Under his leadership, Carolina Tractor & Equipment Company experienced great success and growth. Weathering the Depression and expanding across the state of North Carolina, the company opened additional offices in Asheville, Charlotte, Hickory, and Greensboro. In 1965, Mr. Les turned the company over to his son, Ed I. Weisiger Sr. Mr. Les chaired the company board until his death in 1980; his wife, Katharine, then took over. True to its historical roots, Carolina Tractor & Equipment Company remains a local, family-owned company aligned with the interests of the customers it serves throughout North Carolina.

Notă biografică

Amy Rogers, MD, PhD, is a Harvard-educated scientist, professor, award-winning author, and critic who switched from teaching university biology classes to reviewing, writing, and publishing science-themed thriller fiction. Her novels Reversion, The Han Agent, and Petroplague use real science and medicine to create plausible, frightening scenarios in the style of Michael Crichton. Compelling characters and fictionalized science-not science fiction-make her books page-turners that seamlessly blend reality and imagination. Her nonfiction articles about science and engineering behind the scenes of everyday life first appeared in the Inside Arden newspaper and are now collected in her book Science in the Neighborhood. During the pandemic crisis of 2020, she became a trusted source of calm, accurate, accessible science information to a grateful audience through her blog at AmyRogers.com, as well as public speaking with Q&A (via zoom, of course).Dr. Rogers is a sought-after speaker who delivers lectures around the country. A member of International Thriller Writers, she served as a judge for ITW's Thriller Awards and has twice been a panelist at ThrillerFest in New York; a panel moderator at Left Coast Crime; keynote speaker at the University of the Pacific Conference on Creative Writing, and the Renaissance Society Forum; guest author at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory; and many other venues for writers, readers, and the general public.
