Dutton Adult, 2008 A fascinating book on how technology is used to support intelligence gathering This fascinating book takes you into the real world of the role technology plays in gathering intelligence. While not as magical as Q in the Bond movies, it comes awfully close and has the benefit of reality. Robert Wallace and H. Keith Melton always tie the technology back to why it was needed and the various problems that had to be overcome in creating the solution. Seeing how the ...             A New Earth: Awakening to Your Life's Purpose1237 reviews Eckhart Tolle Dutton Adult, 2005 Enlightening and Worth the Read This book, at least at first, is not easy to get through. It's dry, written in a kind of monotone (which is also how Tolle speaks), and a bit dense in terms of language. But Tolle is, truly, an enlightened being, and for people who are open to what he has to say, his words ring true in very profound and helpful ways. It's important to know that this isn't another "What Should I do with My ...             Hold Tight120 reviews Harlan Coben Dutton Adult, 2008 Thought provoking thriller A typically great thriller from the master Harlan Coben. This one really makes you think about how you raise your children and how much privacy you should give them. As usual, this is an exciting page turner that will stay with you long after you finish the final page. It give you some closure to The Woods as well, wrapping up the Cope/Lucy story.             Good People7 reviews Marcus Sakey Dutton Adult, 2008 A Walk and a Read on the Wild Side In GOOD PEOPLE, Marcus Sakey skillfully manages the difficult task of creating and maintaining a narrative line whose tone is both ruthless and tender. The novel is a tightrope walk between extremes: good and evil, temptation and redemption, safety and danger, security and risk, duplicity and trust, and greed and compassion. Tom and Anna Reed are the young couple at the heart of the novel who ...             The Reason for God: Belief in an Age of Skepticism106 reviews Timothy Keller Dutton Adult, 2008 A masterful and clear explanation of Christianity Not a complete explanation of God, of course. But it must be one of the most clear and comprehensive ones. The author relies heavily on the Christian writers C.S. Lewis and G.K. Chesterton. But he does not ignore the opposition. Timothy Keller also very clearly explains the reasoning of popular atheist writers like Richard Dawkins, Sam Harris and Christopher Hitchins. Also other religions are ...             The Science of Fear: Why We Fear the Things We Shouldn't--and Put Ourselves in Greater Danger3 reviews Daniel Gardner Dutton Adult, 2008 And the odds are . . .? Dan Gardner's concerned about how we handle fear. In North America, of course, a single event, the 11 September attacks on the World Trade Centre and Pentagon generated a new level of fear in the population. So unexpected and abrupt was use of commercial aircraft in a terrorist assault that an avoidance of flying was the immediate and widespread reaction. Gardner, however, wants to consider ...             End of Days: Predictions and Prophecies About the End of the World30 reviews Sylvia Browne Dutton Adult, 2008 Very Timely-Well Researched This is my first Sylvia Browne book. It is a very level-headed book about a very serious topic. She did her homework. She describes the 'end times' beliefs of all religions and even Native American beliefs. I have only seen her on TV once, and that was with other psychics on The Larry King Show. I am confused because in this book she talks about going to Catholic School, and yet, on Larry King ...             The World in Six Songs: How the Musical Brain Created Human Nature2 reviews Daniel J. Levitin Dutton Adult, 2008 Songs in the key of life This fascinating book explores the powerful force music has played in shaping our common humanity. It's evolution, with a backbeat. Author Levitin makes the case that six basic types of songs have existed throughout the course of human history, all over the world. Mankind, apparently, shares a soundtrack. The six broad categories of music are songs about friendship, joy, comfort, knowledge, ...             The Little Book11 reviews Selden Edwards Dutton Adult, 2008 An instant literary classic This being Selden Edwards first book there isn't much to fall back on, but don't let that sway your decision to read this instant literary classic. I wouldn't say that about just any book and The Little Book is certainly a strange tale for that title, but a truly Wonkaesque story it is. Strange and unbelievable were the first words that came to mind. The protagonist is Frank Standish Burden III ...             Atlas Shrugged (Centennial Ed. HC)39 reviews Ayn Rand Dutton Adult, 2005 Best Book Ever Written This novel was written more than 50 years ago. It details a progression of events that accompany a society that forcibly takes from the most productive members to provide for those that are less productive. While it is noble and compassionate to help those less fortunate, I think that it is up to each individual and family to decide how much they can help, not the government. It sure sounds ...             World Without End388 reviews Ken Follett Dutton Adult, 2007 PAGE BURNER After I read Pillars, I thought to myself, "no I want more," and then I found out, "hey there was more." I think this one might even surpass pillars in the emotional connections the reader makes with the characters. I finished this one in 3 days, KEN FOLLETT GIVE ME MORE!!!!!!!             Prince283 reviews Niccolo Machiavelli Dutton Adult, 1981 `Do the ends justify the means?' A young colleague of mine recently said `management is easy'. I smiled enigmatically and considered buying him a copy of `The Prince' but I fear it would be wasted. I am now on my third copy of this book which, alas, I can only read in English. The George Bull translation (as reprinted in 1995) is the version I currently refer to. I first read this book when studying economic history at high ...             Atlas Shrugged: 35th Anniversary Edition1530 reviews Ayn Rand Dutton Adult, 1992 Celebration of the individual There is something solid about a book where the story echoes in reality fifty years after it was written. It amazes me how I can see the story of Atlas Shrugged play out in today's world again and again with different characters filling the roles. In this book Ayn Rand has captured many of the truths of our world, many realities about the personalities that inhabit it and many unspoken rules ...             Mother Warriors: A Nation of Parents Healing Autism Against All Odds Jenny McCarthy Dutton Adult, 2008 Stories of hope and recovery from a nation of parents of autistic children, by the high-profile, bestselling author of Louder Than Words . When Jenny McCarthy published Louder Than Words , the story of her successful efforts to save her son, Evan, from autism, the response was tremendous. It hit #3 on the New York Times bestseller list; and Jenny and Evan were featured on the covers of several magazines, including People . But what she ...             Pride and Prejudice: 2882 reviews Jane Austen, Robert Bishop Dutton Adult, 1985 Even better the sixth time around I recently finished reading Pride and Prejudice for the sixth time and can honestly say it was better than it ever has been before. The first reading, in high school, was a little rough. Since then, this book has grown on me each time (silly to say, since it is my FAVORITE book and the only one I have re-read as often). The humor is fantastic, the characters are both wonderful and suited so ...             The Extreme Future: The Top Trends That Will Reshape the World for the Next 5, 10, and 20 Years10 reviews James Canton Dutton Adult, 2006 A Powerful and Thought Provoking Glimpse Into Tomorrow! I heard about this book during a presentation by Howard Rheingold at a Rotary Honolulu luncheon. I jotted the name of the book down and bought a copy. This book has given me a broadened perspective on where our world is today in regards to business, technology, medicine, security, terrorism, population, immigration, the environment, energy, and even what it may mean to be human during the ...             Healthy Child Healthy World: Creating a Cleaner, Greener, Safer Home17 reviews Christopher Gavigan Dutton Adult, 2008 Great read for beginners and those well read on topic.

I highly recommend!             Betrayal (Dismas Hardy)30 reviews John Lescroart Dutton Adult, 2008 Fast-Paced, Hard-Hitting Thriller Dismas Hardy has to take over the Evan Scholler case, because Scholler's lawyer has disappeared. Scholler has been accused of killing ex-Navy Seal Ron Nolan. Nolan and Evan became friends in Iraq and Evan told Nolan about his girlfriend Tara back home and once back in the States Nolan courts Tara, even while he's spinning lies and deception to break up the couple. Nolan is not a nice guy. In ...             Frankenstein319 reviews Mary Shelley Dutton Adult, 1961 You've seen Karloff, now read the original Once you read Shelley's classic you're going to scratch your head and wonder: Is this really the book that gave us the Karloff movie? Not to mention Herman Munster and Frankenberry. For over a century and half people have been cannibalizing this book for ideas, movies, other books, and products of every size, shape and type that our modern concept of Frankenstein holds little to no resemblence to ...             Pleasure78 reviews Eric Jerome Dickey Dutton Adult, 2008 Raising the erotic bar... As usual, in a somewhat friendly, yet mildly annoyed tone, Eric Jerome Dickey reminds his readers that this work is just fiction. Really, it is a work of fiction. But with Dickey's frank prose scripting real truths, real revelations and real euphoria around real world locations, and with precise and stunning accuracy, his brand of fiction feels, well, uncannily real. In PLEASURE, Dickey ...              search for books against, al-qaeda, anniversary, awakening, betrayal, centennial, cleaner, communism, creating, edition, extreme, frankenstein, greater, greener, healing, healthy, musical, ourselves, parents, pleasure, predictions, prejudice, prophecies, reshape, shrugged, skepticism, spycraft, spytechs, warriors, without books:    Kindle - Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device This is the future of book reading.
