 Even
before selling on the Internet mushroomed, books on marketing and customer
service emphasized the growing interactive nature of the sales
transaction; but now even distinctions between buyer and seller are
becoming obscured. The author Murphy offers his own analysis of the
growing power of the consumer in the age of the Internet. He looks at the
growing demand for quality service, the changing media, improved
communications technology, increased interactivity, and trends in
retailing. Click image to buy book ($17.50 a savings of

 The authors
Paul Craig Roberts and Lawrence M. Stratton warn of a "police
state that is creeping up from many directions." There's war on
drugs, which makes it possible for federal agents to investigate people
simply for carrying large amounts of cash. There's the crusade against
white-collar crime, which has turned the plea bargain into an enemy of the
truth. And there's outright misconduct, abetted by prosecutors more
interested in compiling long lists of indictments than ensuring the fair
treatment of all suspects. The Tyranny of Good Intentions is
replete with examples of threats to freedom through ill-willed
prosecution and faceless bureaucracy. The book's sense of disaffection
sometimes leads to alarmist prose: "We the People have vanished. Our
place has been taken by wise men and anointed elites." The authors
are swift to suggest that America, barring "an intellectual
rebirth," may yet go the way of "German Nazism or Soviet
communism."

The best selling author of The Sign and the Seal reveals some of the origins of civilization. Connecting puzzling clues scattered throughout the world, Hancock discovers compelling evidence of a technologically and culturally advanced civilization that was destroyed and obliterated from human memory. Four 8-page photo inserts. A search for evidence of a prehistoric, advanced civilization speculates about an Atlantis-like world buried beneath Antarctic ice and makes predictions about forthcoming geological disasters. |
The shades of gray between
true and false makes it a valuable way to program microchips that guide factories, cars,
household appliances, and other gadgetry that works with the physical world's nonbinary
facts. It also makes for a pretty slick philosophical end run around the yes-or-no logic
that has been the basis of Western thought for the last couple of millennia. |
Madeline
O'Keith Turner inheriting the Oval Office when the president died. Now its in the early
years of the next century, when Maddy's big problem is Russia's crime cartel, the Mafiya,
and its leader, Mikhail Vashin. The vastly wealthy Vashin who thinks nothing of having a
naked girl thrown down a 30-story elevator shaft, has organized all the crime families and
essentially taken over the government, so that the US is dealing with criminal political
leaders. Now all Europe seems ready to fall under the cartel's yoke. What's worse,
Yaponetz, a Russian godfather of crime doing time in a US federal prison, is organizing a
terrifically effective crime family here. What to do with him? Maddy suggests that America
trade him to Russia . . . for a nuke. The Russians now want Poland back, but so does
Germany. War looks imminent, and the author (a former Air Force pilot) flaunts his skills
describing fighter-jet action at high altitudes. Meanwhile Maddy has her own problems in
Washington as power forces shift beneath her feet. |
| Bob King's tell-all book about the U.S. government's covert operations is an eye-opener. "In a world inundated with deception, media disinformation, cover stories, and lies, it's impossible to know exactly what the truth really means," writes King. "All I know for sure is that a very dark side of our government is in control." King tells how his ragtag team of blue-collar commandos, known as "Spooky 8," was frequently assembled to perform sensitive operations for the U.S. government in Central and South America. King takes a novelistic approach to his story (which purports to be rooted in fact), creating tough characters and macho dialogue. Click image to buy book. ($17.47 a savings of $7.48) |
| "No nation's fury, no nation's fate, had a greater impact on the twentieth century" than Germany's, writes W.R. Smyser, a onetime State Department official now considered a leading expert on Germany. In this eye-opening account, Smyser suggests the question of Germany is central to understanding the cold war. The country itself lies in the heart of Europe: "If one takes a map of Europe and draws one line from Paris to Moscow and another line from Stockholm to Rome, the two lines intersect remarkably close to the Brandenburg Gate, "Using new archival information, he suggests that Stalin did not in fact want a divided Germany, and that President Kennedy, for his part, had the opportunity to prevent construction of the Berlin Wall but failed to take proper action. Using new archival information, he suggests that Stalin did not in fact want a divided Germany, and that President Kennedy, for his part, had the opportunity to prevent construction of the Berlin Wall but failed to take proper action.
