In the Red Dragon's Shadow - Come the Jackals : Alpha Strike at America (9781456721312)

This novel picks up a few years after the ending of Shadow Partners. Manfred Kurtz is still the Special Agent in Charge (SAC) of ATF's Detroit Field Division, and Angelo Tana is his assistant. The joint ATF Detroit Police Department (DPD) task force continues to work successfully on matters that cross jurisdictional lines. The story begins with a series of brutal murders in three separate States. Seemingly, they are not connected. Local jurisdictions are busy investigating the crimes, with no reason to suspect any relationship to other incidents. When she chances upon a Detroit crime scene, AUSA Janet Evergreen misses being killed by seconds. Although Janet had not witnessed the assassination of a DPD officer, she did take note of the driver of a getaway vehicle-a man who recognized Janet. Manfred Kurtz and the Task Force members become involved after another source reveals facts about another murder. Assigned ATF agents and DPD officers again begin work on what first appears as a ...

The Second Treatise of Government: AND A Letter Concerning Toleration (9780486424644)

A highly influential figure in the Age of Enlightenment in England and France, whose works helped inspire the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution, John Locke was one of the most important political theorists in Western history. In The Second Treatise of Government, a major contribution to the principles underlying modern democracies, he achieved two objectives: refuting the concept of the divine right of monarchy, and establishing a theory of government based on the ultimate sovereignty of the people. In A Letter Concerning Toleration, composed as early as 1667 but not published for political reasons until 1689 -- after the Glorious Revolution -- Locke pleaded for religious tolerance on grounds similar to his argument for political freedom, i.e., that all men are by nature free, equal, and independent, and are entitled to freedom of thought, freedom of speech, and freedom of worship. To help guarantee the latter freedom, Locke called for separation of church and stat...

Treasonable Doubt : The Harry Dexter White Spy Case (9780700613113)

Whittaker Chambers and Elizabeth Bentley shocked America in 1948 with their allegations that Communist spies had penetrated the American government. The resulting perjury trial of Alger Hiss is already legendary, but Chambers and Bentley also named Harry Dexter White, a high-ranking Treasury official. (Hiss himself thought that White had been the real target of the House Un-American Activities Committee.) When White died only a week after his bold defense before Congress, much speculation remained about the cause of his death and the truth of the charges made against him. Armed with a wealth of new information, Bruce Craig examines this controversial case and explores the ambiguities that have haunted it for more than half a century. The highest ranking figure in the Roosevelt and Truman administrations to be accused of espionage, White played a central role in the founding of the United Nations' twin financial institutions, the World Bank and International Monetary Fund. For years...

Crossing the Chasm, 3rd Edition : Marketing and Selling Disruptive Products to Mainstream Customers (9780062292988)

The bible for bringing cutting-edge products to larger markets--now revised and updated with new insights into the realities of high-tech marketing In Crossing the Chasm, Geoffrey A. Moore shows that in the Technology Adoption Life Cycle--which begins with innovators and moves to early adopters, early majority, late majority, and laggards--there is a vast chasm between the early adopters and the early majority. While early adopters are willing to sacrifice for the advantage of being first, the early majority waits until they know that the technology actually offers improvements in productivity. The challenge for innovators and marketers is to narrow this chasm and ultimately accelerate adoption across every segment. This third edition brings Moore's classic work up to date with dozens of new examples of successes and failures, new strategies for marketing in the digital world, and Moore's most current insights and findings. He also includes two new appendices, the first connec...

يعد انفجار الخلاف السني ـ الشيعي وصراحة التعبير عنه في غير بلد إشارة ساطعة إلى بلوغ التمزّق في نسيج مجتمعاتنا مدىبعيداً، وعلى توسع رقعة الآخر في الحياة والثقافة العربيتين والإسلاميتين على ما أشار، ذات مرة، الكاتب التونسي صالح بشير. ... فالحال أن ثقافتنا التي تتحايل على مشكلاتنا بالإنكاروالتجاهل تتحمّل مسؤولية كبرى عما آلت إليه الأمور. ذاك أننا بدل أن نواجه المشكلة على حقيقتها (وغني عن القول إن المعرفة شرط المعالجة الشارط)، آثرنا اللجوء إلى كلنا إخوان الشهيرة. لكن نظرة أكثر نقدية، وأقل اكتراثاً بما كان يعلنه الطرفان، وبصورة كل منهما عن ذاته، وعن الآخر استطراداً، تسمح بالقول إن المنازعة هذه تملك من عناصرالانفجار ما لا يجوز غض النظر عنه. فهي تحتوي على طاقة تقويض لأكثر من بلد (العراق، البحرين، لبنان...)، فيما تتصل ببعض الموضوعات الأساسية لتقدم المنطقة ككل، وفي رأسها الحداثة والعلمنة ومفهوم المواطنة. صحيح أن الموضوع ليس، في نهاية المطاف،دينياً، أو أن الديني فيه يحاكي ويكمل المسائل الاجتماعية والسياسية الأعرض.إلا أن ذلك لا ينفي، قبل التصدي للتفكير في حلول لن تأتي، ضرورة رسم صورة أدق عن الفاع...

Blood, fire, death : The Swedish Metal Story (9781627310673)

In the early 1990s, Swedish death metal revolutionized the international music scene. Suddenly, the mild-mannered Scandinavian country found itself at the forefront of a new movement with worldwide impact thanks to bands such as Entombed, Dismember, and At the Gates. The birth of black metal drove the culture to even greater extremes, featuring a rawer, darker sound and non-ironic death-worship. Soon churches in both Norway and Sweden were aflame, and be- fore long Satanism emerged as more than just an image. But how did it all start? Why did Sweden become a hotbed for such aggressive, nihilistic music? And who are the people and bands that brought it all about? Blood, Fire, Death: A Swedish Metal Story recounts the evolution of the genre from the massive amplifier walls of 1970s rock, through the church-burning Satanic 1990s, to the diverse and paradoxical manifestations of the scene today. This book focuses on the phenomena that have propelled the scene forward in an evolution that ...
