Growing up in Bexley, Ohio, Bob Greene and his four best friends -- Allen, Chuck, Dan, and Jack -- were inseparable. Of the four, Jack was Bobs very best friend, a bond forged from the moment they met on the first day of kindergarten. They grew up together, got in trouble together, learned about life together -- and were ultimately separated by time and distance, as all adults are. But through the years Bob and Jack stayed close, holding on to the friendship that had formed years before. Then, the fateful call came: Jack was dying. And in this hour of need, as the closest of all friends will do, Bob, Allen, Chuck, and Dan put aside the demands of their own lives, came together, and saw Jack through to the end of his journey. Tremendously moving, funny, heart-stirring, and honest, And You Know You Should Be Glad is an uplifting exploration of the power of friendship to uphold us, sustain us, and ultimately set us free.http://www.hotaudiobooks.com/items/audio-book-on-cd/and-you-know-you-should-be-glad-a-true-story-of-lifelong-friendship-cd-0061120715-detail.htmhttp://www.hotaudiobooks.com/browse_item_details.asp/Item_Id/1662638/categ_id/3979War RelatedWed, 9 Apr 2008 09:08:00 PST When a member of her family is brutally gunned down in a random car-jacking, Lucky Santangelos fury knows no bounds.

After 25 years of John Paul IIs guidance, the Catholic Church is entering a new age, with its bedrock traditions intact but pressing questions of its vitality to address in a rapidly changing world. Beginning with a portrait of John Pauls last months, Gods Choice will then offer an account of the complex conclave process that produced Benedict XVI as the next pope. Drawing on Weigels unprecedented access during the post-John Paul II intrerregnum, readers will be offered an inside view of the issues and personalities that shaped the conclaves deliberations.Weigel will also survey the current state of the Church around the world: the remarkable vitality of Catholicism in Africa; the new center of the worlds Catholic population -- Latin America; the collapse of Catholic faith and practice in much of western Europe, contrasted with its strength in Poland and other parts of the post-communist world; the continuing struggles of Catholicism in Asia; the vibrancy of some aspects of Catholic life in the United States, even as the Church in America struggles to overcome its recent experience of scandal. Gods Choice will paint a personal portrait of the new pope and analyze the crucial issues facing world Catholicism in the first decades of the 21st century. It will be a major reference point for anyone seeking to understand the Catholic future, and the larger human future the Church will help to shape.http://www.hotaudiobooks.com/items/audio-book-on-cd/god-s-choice-pope-benedict-xvi-and-the-future-of-the-catholic-church-cd-006088195x-detail.htmhttp://www.hotaudiobooks.com/browse_item_details.asp/Item_Id/1662761/categ_id/3979War RelatedWed, 5 Mar 2008 09:07:00 PST Readers who have always wished Danielle Steel and Judith Krantz would write about teenagers are in for a superficial, nasty, guilty pleasure.

And we were always excessive. So in the beginning we were happy to excess. With these opening lines Sean Wilsey takes us on an exhilarating tour of life in the strangest, wealthiest, and most grandiose of families.Seans blond-bombshell mother (one of the thinly veiled characters in Armistead Maupins bestselling Tales of the City) is a 1980s society-page staple, regularly entertaining Black Panthers and movie stars in her marble and glass penthouse, eight hundred feet in the air above San Francisco; an apartment at the top of a building at the top of a hill: full of light, full of voices, full of windows full of water and bridges and hills. His enigmatic father uses a jet helicopter to drop Sean off at the video arcade and lectures his son on proper hygiene in public restrooms, You should wash your hands first, before you use the urinal. Not after. Your penis isnt dirty. But your hands are.When Sean, the kind of child who sings songs to sick flowers, turns nine years old, his father divorces his mother and marries her best friend. Seans life blows apart. His mother first invites him to commit suicide with her, then has a vision of salvation that requires packing her Louis Vuitton luggage and traveling the globe, a retinue of multiracial children in tow. Her goal: peace on earth (and a Nobel Prize). Sean meets Indira Gandhi, Helmut Kohl, Menachem Begin, and the pope, hoping each one might come back to San Francisco and persuade his father to rejoin the family. Instead, Sean is pushed out of San Francisco and sent spiraling through five high schools, till he finally lands at an unorthodox reform school cum therapeutic community, in Italy.With its multiplicity of settings and kaleidoscopic mix of preoccupations-sex, Russia, jet helicopters, seismic upheaval, boarding schools, Middle Earth, skinheads, home improvement, suicide, skateboarding, Sovietology, public transportation, massage, Christian fundamentalism, dogs, Texas, global thermonuclear war, truth, evil, masturbation, hope, Bethlehem, CT, eventual salvation (abridged list)-Oh the Glory of It All is memoir as bildungsroman as explosion.http://www.hotaudiobooks.com/items/audio-book-on-cd/oh-the-glory-of-it-all-unabridged-cd-0143057634-detail.htmhttp://www.hotaudiobooks.com/browse_item_details.asp/Item_Id/1662905/categ_id/3979War RelatedWed, 5 Mar 2008 09:07:00 PST In this New York Times bestseller, David Limbaugh exposes the liberal hypocrisy of promoting political correctness while discriminating against Christianity.

They believed America must lead the world by persuasion, not command. And they believed that by championing freedom overseas, America itself could become more free. That liberal spirit won Americas trust at the dawn of the Cold War. Then it collapsed in the wake of Vietnam. Now, after 9/11, and the failed presidency of George W. Bush, America needs it back. In this powerful and provocative book, Peter Beinart offers a new liberal vision, based on principles liberals too often forget: That Americas goodness cannot simply be asserted; it must be proved. That American leadership is not American empire. And that liberalism cannot merely define itself against the right, but must oppose the totalitarianism that blighted Europe a half century ago, and which stalks the Islamic world today. With liberals severed from their own history, conservatives have drawn on theirs -- the principles of national chauvinism and moral complacency that America once rejected. The country will reject them again, and embrace the creed that brought it greatness before. But only if liberals remember what that means. It means an unyielding hostility to totalitarianism -- and a recognition that defeating it requires bringing hope to the bleakest corners of the globe. And it means understanding that democracy begins at home. Peter Beinarts The Good Fight is a passionate rejoinder to the conservatives who have ruled Washington since 9/11. It is an intellectual lifeline for a Democratic Party lying flat on its back. And it is a call for liberals to revive the spirit that swept America, and inspired the world.http://www.hotaudiobooks.com/items/audio-book-on-cd/the-good-fight-cd-0061117609-detail.htmhttp://www.hotaudiobooks.com/browse_item_details.asp/Item_Id/1663085/categ_id/3979War RelatedWed, 9 Apr 2008 09:08:00 PST What if I told you that no matter what condition you are in now, I could show you how to make lifelong improvements in appearance, strength, self-image, and confidence in just thirty minutes each day? -- Lee LabradaThe Lean Body Promise holds the ultimate fat-burning solution that will help you release the lean, strong body inside you.

How much influence does the Christian right have over U.S. foreign policy? And how should America deal with violent Islamist extremists? Madeleine Albright, the former Secretary of State and bestselling author of Madam Secretary, offers a thoughtful and often surprising look at the role of religion in shaping Americas approach to the world. In The Mighty and the Almighty, Madeleine Albright examines the profound impact of religion on Americas view of itself, the effect on U.S. policy of the rise of the Christian right, the Bush administrations successes and failures in responding to 9/11, the challenges posed by the war in Iraq, and the importance of understanding Islam. She offers a balanced but, when necessary, devastating analysis of U.S. strategy, and condemns those of all faiths who exploit religious fervor to create divisions or enhance their own power. In this illuminating account, Albright argues that, to be effective, U.S. policy makers must understand the power and place of religion in motivating others and in coloring how American actions are perceived. Defying the conventional wisdom, she suggests not only that religion and politics are inseparable, but that their partnership, when properly harnessed, can be a force for justice and peace.http://www.hotaudiobooks.com/items/audio-book-on-cd/the-mighty-the-almighty-reflections-on-america-god-and-world-affairs-unabridged-cd-0060897899-detail.htmhttp://www.hotaudiobooks.com/browse_item_details.asp/Item_Id/1663125/categ_id/3979War RelatedWed, 9 Apr 2008 09:08:00 PST The inspiration for the 2006 Warner Bros. film, Poseidon, Paul Gallicos The Poseidon Adventure is an intense and dramatic story about a gigantic ocean liner and its unimaginable final journey.When a rogue wave capsizes the luxury cruise ship, a small group of survivors find themselves unlikely allies in a battle for their lives.

Taking readers to biblical sites not seen by Westerners for decades, Feilers journey uncovers little-known details about the common roots of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, and affirms the importance of the Bible in todays world.In his intimate, accessible style, Feiler invites readers on a never-in-a-lifetime experience:Israel Feiler takes a perilous helicopter dive over Jerusalem, treks through secret underground tunnels, and locates the spot where David toppled Goliath.Iraq After being airlifted into Baghdad, Feiler visits the Garden of Eden and the birthplace of Abraham, and makes a life-threatening trip to the rivers of Babylon.Iran Feiler explores the home of the Bibles first messiah and uncovers the secret burial place of Queen Esther. In Where God Was Born, Feiler discovers that at the birth of Western religion, all faiths drew from one another and were open to coexistence. Feilers bold realization is that the Bible argues for interfaith harmony. It cannot be ceded to one side in the debate over values. Feiler urges moderates to take back the Bible and use its powerful voice as a beacon of shared ideals.In his most ambitious work to date, Bruce Feiler has written a brave, uplifting story that stirs the deepest chords of our time. Where God Was Born offers a rare, universal vision of God that can inspire different faiths to an allegiance of hope.http://www.hotaudiobooks.com/items/audio-book-on-cd/where-god-was-born-cd-0060823852-detail.htmhttp://www.hotaudiobooks.com/browse_item_details.asp/Item_Id/1663242/categ_id/3979War RelatedWed, 9 Apr 2008 09:08:00 PST At age ten, Tatum ONeal became the youngest Oscar winner in history for her performance in the film classic Paper Moon.

When the Palm Beach Community Theater needs a director for its Production of Arsenic and Old Lace, Archy tosses his megaphone into the ring. After all, Hollywood legend Desdemona Darling will lend her considerable talents to the production. While resident grande dame Lady Cynthia Horowitz wants a little of the spotlight to fall on her latest live-in hunk, Buzz Carr, she has no intention of letting Buzz rehearse all day with the actress, who, like Lady C, has made marriage a cottage industry. For poor Archy, theres more drama backstage than onstage, and plenty of confusion everywhere, especially with the fuzzy-headed Binky Watrous serving as stage manager. When an actor takes a sip of prop wine and drops dead, the Palm Beach police suddenly take a special interest in the local theater scene. In a play filled with murders, only Archy can separate the actors from the genuine article, and bring down the curtain on the latest and most enjoyable of McNallys follies.http://www.hotaudiobooks.com/items/audio-book-on-tape/lawrence-sanders-mcnallys-folly-vincent-lardo-074350528x-detail.htmhttp://www.hotaudiobooks.com/browse_item_details.asp/Item_Id/1663451/categ_id/3979War RelatedWed, 9 Apr 2008 09:08:00 PST Just when you thought Beverly Hills was safe ...

Bush ordered American forces to invade Iraq, 70 percent of Americans believed Saddam Hussein was linked to 9/11. Voters in Ohio, when asked by pollsters to list what stuck in their minds about the campaign, most frequently named two Bush television ads that played to fears of terrorism. We live in an age when the thirty-second television spot is the most powerful force shaping the electorates thinking, and America is in the hands of an administration less interested than any previous administration in sharing the truth with the citizenry. Related to this and of even greater concern is this administrations disinterest in the process by which the truth is ascertained, the tenets of fact-based reasoning-first among them an embrace of open inquiry in which unexpected and even inconvenient facts can lead to unexpected conclusions. How did we get here? How much damage has been done to the functioning of our democracy and its role as steward of our security? Never has there been a worse time for us to lose the capacity to face the reality of our long-term challenges, from national security to the economy, from issues of health and social welfare to the environment. As The Assault on Reason shows us, we have precious little time to waste. Gores larger goal in this book is to explain how the public sphere itself has evolved into a place hospitable to reasons enemies, to make us more aware of the forces at work on our own minds, and to lead us to an understanding of what we can do, individually and collectively, to restore the rule of reason and safeguard our future.

Yet throughout her brief life, Diana was plagued by rumor, innuendo, and scandal. With exclusive access to those closest to Diana, Sarah Bradford now casts aside the gossip and lies and takes us to the very heart of the royal family to separate the myth from the truth of the Diana years. Diana follows the old-fashioned courtship that saw her captivate the Prince of Wales; the transformation of an unworldly teenager into an emotionally demanding, but adoring, wife and mother; the damage caused by the ever-present spectre of Camilla Parker Bowles; and the eventual collapse of a doomed marriage once hailed as the ultimate fairy tale. Bradford examines Dianas lovers and her relationships with her staff, friends, and family, as well as her children, husband, and the royal family. She also charts Dianas profound commitment to her charities and her rare connection to and empathy with all those she met; the struggle to find an identity after the separation from Charles; and the final, complicated year as a single woman.With the authority missing from all previous accounts, as well as remarkable new sources and firsthand accounts, acclaimed royal biographer Sarah Bradford delivers a complex and explosive study of one of the most popular figures of the twentieth century.http://www.hotaudiobooks.com/items/under~0-99/diana-sarah-bradford-0143059327-detail.htmhttp://www.hotaudiobooks.com/browse_item_details.asp/Item_Id/1925000/categ_id/3979War RelatedWed, 9 Apr 2008 09:08:00 PST Strange Tales by Saki -- Side 1 - Sredni Vashtar, The Lumber Room -- Side 2 - The Open Window, The Storyteller, Reticence of Lady Anne -- Side 3 - Reginalds Christmas Revel, Reginald On House Parties, Mrs. Packletides Tiger -- Side 4 - The Interlopers, Toys of Peace -- ***This audio book is new*** ***This audio book is NOT sealed***http://www.hotaudiobooks.com/items/audio-book-on-cd/strange-tales-by-saki-saki-0807234338-detail.htmhttp://www.hotaudiobooks.com/browse_item_details.asp/Item_Id/1925006/categ_id/3979War RelatedWed, 9 Apr 2008 09:08:00 PST Armed only with a frying pan and her common sense, Tiffany Aching, a young witch-to-be, is all that stands between the monsters of Fairyland and the warm, green Chalk country that is her home.

A stint in a high-octane sales job taught her the gut-wrenching pressures endured by men who would do anything to succeed.

Far from becoming bitter or outraged, Vincent ended her journey astounded-and exhausted-by the rigid codes and rituals of masculinity. Having gone where no woman (who wasnt an aspiring or actual transsexual) has gone for any significant length of time, let alone eighteen months, Norah Vincents surprising account is an enthralling reading experience and a revelatory piece of anecdotally based gender analysis that is sure to spark fierce and fascinating conversation.Seven years ago, I had my first tutorial in becoming a man. The idea for this book came to me then, when I went out for the first time in drag. I was living in the East Village at the time, undergoing a significantly delayed adolescence, drinking and drugging a little too much, and indulging in all the sidewalk freak show opportunities that New York City has to offer. Back then I was hanging around a lot with a drag king whom I had met through friends. She used to like to dress up and have me take pictures of her in costume. One night she dared me to dress up with her and go out on the town. Id always wanted to try passing as a man in public, just to see if I could do it, so I agreed enthusiastically. She had developed her own technique for creating a beard whereby you cut half inch chunks of hair from unobtrusive parts of your own head, cut them into smaller pieces, and then more or less glopped them onto your face with spirit gum. Using a small round freestanding mirror on her desk, she showed me how to do it in the dim, greenish light of her cramped studio apartment. It wasnt at all precise and it wouldnt have passed muster in the daylight, but it was good enough for the stage, and it would work well enough for our purposes in dark bars at night. I made myself a goatee and mustache, and a pair of baroque sideburns. I put on a baseball cap, loose-fitting jeans and a flannel shirt. In the full-length mirror I looked like a frat boy-sort of. She did her thing-which was more willowy and soft, more like a young hippie guy who couldnt really grow much of a beard-and we went out like that for a few hours. We passed, as far as I could tell, but I was too afraid to really interact with anyone, except to give one guy brief directions on the street. He thanked me as dude and walked on. Mostly though we just walked the streets of the Village scanning peoples faces to see if anyone took a second or third look. But no one did. And that, oddly enough, was the thing that struck me the most about that evening. It was the only thing of real note that happened. But it was significant. I had lived in that neighborhood for years, walking its streets where men lurk outside of bodegas, on stoops and in doorways much of the day. As a woman, you couldnt walk down those streets invisibly. You were an object of desire or at least semiprurient interest to the men who waited there, even if you werent pretty-that, or you were just another piece of pussy to be put in its place. Either way, their eyes followed you all the way up and down the street, never wavering, asserting their dominance as a matter of course. If you were female and you lived there, you got used to being stared down, because it happened every day and there wasnt anything you could do about it. But that night in drag, we walked by those same stoops and doorways and bodegas. We walked right by those same groups of men. Only this time they didnt stare. On the contrary, when they met my eyes they looked away immediately and concertedly and never looked back. It was astounding, the difference, the respect they showed me by not looking at me, by purposely not staring. That was it. That was what had annoyed me so much about meeting their gaze as a woman, not the desire, if that was ever there, but the disrespect, the entitlement. It was rude, and it was meant to be rude, and seeing those guys looking away deferentially when they thought I was male, I could validate in retrospect the true hostility of their former stares. But that wasnt quite all there was to it. There was something more than plain respect being communicated in their averted gaze, something subtler, less direct. It was more like a disinclination to show disrespect. For them, to look away was to decline a challenge, to adhere to a code of behavior that kept the peace among human males in certain spheres just as surely as it kept the peace and the pecking order among male animals. To look another male in the eye and hold his gaze is to invite conflict, either that or a homosexual encounter. To look away is to accept the status quo, to leave each man to his tiny sphere of influence, the small buffer of pride and poise that surrounds and keeps him. I surmised all of this the night it happened, but in the weeks and months that followed I asked most of the men I knew whether I was right, and they agreed, adding usually that it wasnt something they thought about anymore, if they ever had. It was just something you learned or absorbed as a boy, and by the time you were a man, you did it without thinking. After the whole incident had blown over, I started thinking that if in such a short time in drag I had learned such an important secret about the way males and females communicate with each other, and about the unspoken codes of male experience, then couldnt I potentially observe much more about the social differences between the sexes if I passed as a man for a much longer period of time? It seemed true, but I wasnt intrepid enough yet to do something that extreme. Besides it seemed impossible, both psychologically and practically, to pull it off. So I filed the information away in my mind for a few more years and got on with other things. Then, in the winter of 2003, while watching a reality television show on the A and E network, the idea came back to me. In the show, two male and two female contestants set out to transform themselves into the opposite sex-not with hormones or surgeries, but purely by costume and design. The women cut their hair. The men had theirs extended. Both took voice and movement lessons to try to learn how to speak and behave more like the sex they were trying to become. All chose new wardrobes, personas and names for their alter egos. The bulk of the program focused on the outward transformations, though the point at the end was to see who could pass in the real world most effectively. Neither of the men really passed, and only one of the women stayed the course. She did manage to pass fairly well, though only for a short time and in carefully controlled circumstances. But, as in most reality television programs, especially the American ones, nobody involved was particularly introspective about the effect their experiences had had on them or the people around them. It was clear that the producers didnt have much interest in the deeper sociologic implications of passing as the opposite sex. It was all just another version of an extreme make-over. Once the stunt was accomplished-or not-the show was over. But for me, watching the show brought my former experience in drag to the forefront of my mind again and made me realize that passing in costume in the daylight could be possible with the right help. I knew that writing a book about passing in the world as a man would give me the chance to explore some of the unexplored territory that the show had left out, and that I had barely broached in my brief foray in drag years before. I was determined to give the idea a try.1. Getting Started2. Friendship3. Sex4. Love5. Life6. Work7. Self8.

The assassination of former Russian intelligence officer Alexander Sasha Litvinenko in November 2006 -- poisoned by the rare radioactive element polonium -- caused an international sensation. Within a few short weeks, the fit forty-three-year-old lay gaunt, bald, and dying in a hospital, the victim of a tiny nuclear bomb. Suspicions swirled around Russias FSB, the successor to the KGB, and the Putin regime. But what really happened? What did Litvinenko know? And why was he killed? The full story as told by the only two people who can tell it all -- Litvinenkos closest friend Alex Goldfarb, and his widow, Marina -- Death of a Dissident opens a window into the dark heart of the Putin Kremlin. With its strong-arm tactics, tight control over the media, and penetration of all levels of government, it is clear that the old KGB is back with a vengeance. Death of a Dissident sounds like a political thriller, yet its story is more fantastic and frightening than any novel. Sasha Litvinenko dedicated his life to exposing this truth. It took his diabolical murder for the world to listen. http://www.hotaudiobooks.com/items/audio-book-on-cd/death-of-a-dissident-the-poisoning-of-alexander-litvinenko-and-the-return-of-the-kgb-0743569342-detail.htmhttp://www.hotaudiobooks.com/browse_item_details.asp/Item_Id/1954893/categ_id/3979War RelatedWed, 9 Apr 2008 09:08:00 PST A revolutionary exploration of mood disorders by the author of the landmark bestseller Listening to Prozac - A decade ago, with his breakaway bestseller, Listening to Prozac, Peter Kramer revolutionized the way we think about antidepressants and the culture in which they are so widely used. Now, he returns with a profound and original look at the condition those medications treat-depression. He asks: If we could eradicate depression so that no human being ever suffered it again, would we? Depression, linked in our culture to a long tradition of heroic melancholy, is often understood as ennobling-a source of soulfulness and creativity. Tracing this belief from Aristotle to the Romantics to Picasso, and to present-day memoirs of mood disorder, Kramer suggests that the pervasiveness of the illness has distorted our sense of what it is to be human. There is nothing heroic about depression, Kramer argues, and he presents the latest scientific findings to support the fact that depression is a disease-one that can have far-reaching health effects on its sufferers. Frank and unflinching, Against Depression is a deeply felt, deeply moving book, grounded in time spent with the depressed. As his argument unfolds, Kramer becomes a crusader, the author of a compassionate polemic that is fiercely against depression and the devastation it causes. Like Listening to Prozac, Against Depression will offer hope to millions who suffer from depression-and radically alter the debate on its treatment.http://www.hotaudiobooks.com/items/audio-book-on-cd/against-depression-0143057618-detail.htmhttp://www.hotaudiobooks.com/browse_item_details.asp/Item_Id/2034464/categ_id/3979War RelatedWed, 9 Apr 2008 09:08:00 PST The powerful and prescient new novel in the bestselling Covert-One series.

Set against this vivid backdrop, THE LAST SUMMER (OF YOU AND ME) is the enchanting, heartrending story of a beach-community friendship triangle among three young adults for whom summer and this place have meant everything. Sisters Riley and Alice, now in their twenties, have been returning to their parents modest beach house every summer for their entire lives. Petite, tenacious Riley is a tomboy and a lifeguard, always ready for a midnight swim, a gale-force sail, or a barefoot sprint down the beach. Beautiful Alice is lithe, gentle, a reader and a thinker, and worshipful of her older sister. And every summer as they grew, in the house that overshadowed their humble one, there was Paul, a friend as important to both girls as the place itself, who has now finally returned to the island after three years away. But his return marks a season of tremendous change, and when a simmering attraction, a serious illness, and a deep secret all collide, the three friends are launched into an unfamiliar adult world. Ann Brashares has won millions of fans with her blockbuster series THE SISTERHOOD OF THE TRAVELING PANTS, in which she so powerfully captured the emotional complexities of female friendship and young love. With THE LAST SUMMMER (OF YOU AND ME), she moves on to introduce a new set of characters and adult relationships just as true, endearing, and unforgettable.

Trapped in the middle were the watermen, a group of Americas most original and colorful pioneers, poor oystermen who often found themselves caught between the needs of rich plantation owners and the roaring Chesapeake, which often claimed their lives. The powerful web of relationships in a small Chesapeake Bay town collapses as two souls face off in a gripping page-turner. Liz Spocott, a young runaway who has odd dreams about the future of the colored race, mistakenly inspires a breakout from the prison attic of a notorious slave thief named Patty Cannon. As Cannon stokes revenge, Liz flees into the nefarious world of the underground railroad with its double meanings and unspoken clues to freedom known to the slaves of Dorchester County as The Code. Denwood Long, a troubled slave catcher and eastern shore waterman, is coaxed out of retirement to break The Code and track down Liz. Filled with rich history-much of the story is drawn from historical events-and told in McBrides signature lyrical storytelling style, Song Yet Sung brings into full view a world long misunderstood in American fiction: how slavery worked, and the haunting, moral choices that lived beneath the surface, pressing both whites and blacks to search for relief in a world where both seemed to lose their moral compass. This is a story of tragic triumph, violent decisions, and unexpected kindness. http://www.hotaudiobooks.com/items/audio-book-on-cd/song-yet-sung-0143142917-detail.htmhttp://www.hotaudiobooks.com/browse_item_details.asp/Item_Id/2798145/categ_id/3979War RelatedThu, 17 Jul 2008 20:46:00 PST In 1974, award-winning journalist and author Thomas DeFrank, then a young correspondent for Newsweek, was interviewing Vice President Gerald R. Ford when Ford blurted out something astonishingly indiscreet related to the White House, came around his desk, grabbed DeFranks tie, and told the reporter he could not leave the room until he promised not to publish it. Write it when Im dead, he said-and that agreement formed the basis for their relationship for the next thirty-two years. During that time, they talked frequently, but from 1991 to shortly before Fords death in 2006, the interviews became something else-conversations between two men in which Ford talked in a way few presidents ever have. Here is the real Ford on his relationship with Richard Nixon (including the 1974 revelation that, in DeFranks words, will alter what history thinks it knows about the events that culminated in Fords becoming president); Fords experiences on the Warren Commission; his complex relationships with Ronald Reagan and Jimmy Carter; his startling, never-before-disclosed discussions with Bill Clinton during the latters impeachment process; his opinions about both Bush administrations, the Iraq war, and many contemporary political figures; and much more. Here also are unguarded personal musings: about key cultural events; his ownlife, history, and passions; his beloved wife, Betty; and the frustrations of aging.

The republican agenda has proved itself to be one ofpecial interests father than of the public interest, the scheme of a party whose primary aim is to maintain its power, whatever the cost. Dean carefully traces the development of these fundamental failures of the political system from Nixons imperial presidency through reagans popular disparagement of government, to the doctrines that have reached their fullest expression in the administration of George W. Bush, a presidency that growing numbers of scholars have already begun to assess as one of the worst--if not the worst--in the nations history. However, a broken government is not beyond repair, and former White House counsel Dean concludes this illuminating book on an optimistic note by addressing the question he is so often asked by his readers:What can the concerned citizen do to return America to its true legacy?

As the 1790s began, a fragile America teetered on the brink of oblivion, Russia towered as a vast imperial power, and France plunged into revolution. But in contrast to the way conventional histories tell it, none of these remarkable events occurred in isolation. Now, for the first time, in The Great Upheaval, acclaimed historian Jay Winik masterfully illuminates how their fates combined in one extraordinary moment to change the course of civilization. In this sweeping, magisterial drama, Winik brings his vast, meticulous research and narrative genius to the cold, dark battlefields and deadly clashes of ideologies that defined this age. Here is a savage world war, the top-pling of a great dynasty, and an America struggling to survive at home and abroad. Here, too, is the first modern holy war between Islam and a resurgent Christian empire. And here is the richest cast of characters to walk upon the world stage: Washington and Jefferson, Louis XVI and Robespierre, Catherine the Great, Adams, Napoleon, and Selim III. With powerful echoes for understanding the international chaos that confronts the globe today, we see them all fighting desperately for the ideals they believed in, whether man-made democracy or divinely inspired autocracy, whether republicanism or Allahs law. Exquisitely written and utterly compelling, The Great Upheaval vividly depicts an arc of revolutionary fervor stretching from Philadelphia and Paris to St. Petersburg and Cairo-with fateful results. A landmark in historical literature, Winiks gripping, epic portrait of this tumultuous decade will forever transform the way we see Americas beginnings and our world. http://www.hotaudiobooks.com/items/best-selling-audio-books/the-great-upheaval-america-and-the-birth-of-the-modern-world-1788-1800-0061367060-detail.htmhttp://www.hotaudiobooks.com/browse_item_details.asp/Item_Id/2814921/categ_id/3979War RelatedSun, 30 Aug 2009 16:11:00 PST In a series of skillfully drawn biographical portraits, United States senator and bestselling author Kay Bailey Hutchison examines the lives of sixty-three pioneers in military service, journalism, public health, social reform, science, and politics-all American women. From the courtroom to the halls of Congress, these female trailblazers have battled tremendous odds to achieve success-if not always recognition-in their respective fields. Senator Hutchison, a trailblazer herself, became the first woman from the state of Texas elected to the United States Senate. Following in the footsteps of her bestselling book American Heroines, Senator Hutchison continues to celebrate female accomplishment in all walks of life. Whether committed to a chosen cause or thrust into a public role by personal circumstance, the women profiled in Leading Ladies have all woven thin threads of opportunity into sweeping tapestries of achievement. Without their spirit and perseverance, many of the obstacles they so daringly conquered might still remain in place today. Gerti Coris Nobel Prize victory in 1947 enabled other female scientists like Rita Levi-Montalcini to pursue their own research interests. Pearl Bucks bestselling novels made it possible for authors like Amy Tan to expand the boundaries of the American literary canon even further. Susan B. Anthonys indefatigable efforts to win women the right to vote allowed Senator Dianne Feinstein, Congresswoman Mary Bono, and Secretary of Labor Elaine Chao to eventually rise to some of the highest offices in the nation. Mixing historical portraits with modern success stories, Senator Hutchison shows how American women from all periods of history have contributed to the strength and progress of our nation. With courage, purpose, and compassion, the women of Leading Ladies continue to blaze trails for thousands of American women to follow-and no history of the nation can be written without them. http://www.hotaudiobooks.com/items/audio-book-on-cd/leading-ladies-0061142697-detail.htmhttp://www.hotaudiobooks.com/browse_item_details.asp/Item_Id/2826569/categ_id/3979War RelatedWed, 13 Aug 2008 21:11:00 PST Its the last race of the season, and the wheels are smoking and the temperature is rising at Homestead-Miami Speedway.

Not only is this untrue, Leslie Bennetts says, but the arguments in favor of stay-at-home motherhood fail to consider the surprising benefits of work and the unexpected toll of giving it up. Its time, she says, to get the message across-combining work and family really is the best choice for most women, and its eminently doable. Bennetts raised two children while earning a living, and understands the challenges and the rewards firsthand. She and millions of other working women provide ample proof that there are many different ways to have kids, maintain a challenging career, and have a richly rewarding life as a result. When women sacrifice their financial autonomy by quitting their jobs, they become vulnerable to divorce as well as the potential illness, death, or unemployment of their breadwinner husbands. The truth is that when women gamble on dependency, most eventually end up on the wrong side of the odds. Not since Betty Friedan has anyone offered such an eye-opening and persuasive argument for why women can-and should-embrace the joyously complex lives they deserve. http://www.hotaudiobooks.com/items/audio-book-on-cd/the-feminine-mistake-0061358215-detail.htmhttp://www.hotaudiobooks.com/browse_item_details.asp/Item_Id/2830062/categ_id/3979War RelatedThu, 14 Aug 2008 11:39:00 PST No more forbidden foods or monotonous meals-The Volumetrics Eating Plan will revolutionize the way you think about managing your weight.

Doocy has been married for twenty years, but hes not declaring this a self-help book. Its more of a Dont Try This At Home book.

Thomas and Beckel are a unique pair in todays political climate-pundits from opposite sides who not only talk to each other but work together to find common ground on some of the most divisive issues facing us, from the war in Iraq to gay marriage to the Patriot Act. Common Ground unmasks the hypocrisy of many of the issues, organizations, and individuals who created and deepened the partisan divide at the center of American politics, and makes a strategic case for why this bickering must stop. Throughout, Thomas and Beckel explode conventional wisdom and offer surprising new conclusions: -The Red State/Blue State divide: Myth! -A common ground presidential candidate can win in 2008: Reality! Polarizers like Ann Coulter and Michael Moore are the future of political debate: Myth! -Major-party politics faces extinction: Reality! These guys should know. For years Beckel and Thomas contributed to the climate of polarization in Washington . . . and they admit it. Were two guys who spent a lot of years in the polarizing business, but on opposing sides, they write. We helped write the game plan, and we have participated in everything from getting money out of true believers to appearing on television to help spread the contentious message. In many cases, we wrote the message. We know the gig, and its just about up.

It turned out to be one of the greatest jobs I ever had. I attended MS seminars called MS In Balance, where a doctor would explain the scientific data about MS, after which Id give my hilarious (yes, you heard me) thirty-minute speech about living with MS. For the first time in my life, I got to play myself all the time. And the character of me was going to need a lot of expensive costumes.I loved the idea of trying to make even a small difference in someones life. Hopefully, my stories would help other people with MS connect, and make them smile. I thought I could show what a difference a positive attitude could make. I thought people could benefit from that. In conjunction with drugs and medical treatment, a positive attitude and a sense of humor go a long way. In fact, more and more, science is discovering this to be true.As I stood at the podium to give my first speech, I looked at the crowd of people in front of me. More women than men, old, young, in business clothes and in jeans. Slender canes punctuated the rows of chairs like exclamation points, and there was a scattering of wheelchairs. This crowd had its own appeal. They were real people-people from all walks of life. But there was more than that to this crowd. These were people who shared something very personal with me. They all had MS, or were there to support their friends and loved ones who did. Id been to a few MS events in the past, but this time it really hit me. All the craziness of my body wasnt my own singular nightmare. These people knew what Id been through. They werent all shooting movies while they struggled with their symptoms, but they were filing law briefs and having children and waiting tables and paying bills and trying to make their lives whole as they fought their own armies of symptoms. I know its a cliché, but I wasnt alone.I hadnt known what to expect in giving my first talk. Would I feel exposed and vulnerable? No. It felt nothing like that. It felt like I was conquering years of mystery and misdiagnosis. The first time I gave the speech, I knew it had worked. I was making a connection with this audience, my MS peers, or my peeps, as I like to call them. There are certain things that might sound shocking to a civilian audience (non-MSers), but with these people there was a real, honest camaraderie. We could laugh about tripping on the corners of rugs and similar mishaps. Not only was I making people laugh, I was feeling better myself. I think it was because I didnt have to explain myself to them. They understood me, and I understood them. This stage performance wasnt about acting, it was about truth.In my speeches, I tell the audience that when I meet scientists and researchers who are working on a cure for MS, I always tell them to leave no stone unturned. I quote Norman Vincent Peale and say, You should always shoot for the moon, because even if you dont get there, you get a lot of other good stuff along the way. (Look, they were researching high blood pressure when they discovered Viagra. Im sure a lot of you men are happy about that. And Im not unhappy about it.) I wrap up my speech by thanking people for coming and telling them I hope to see them on the way to the moon.My body had given me a great life, and now it was time for my mind and my spirit to return the favor by sharing my feelings with others. But it was more than that. For all my life Id loved being onstage, and it was about more than being the center of attention.

Daniel Jones, husband of Cathi Hanauer, has rallied the men for the literary equivalent of The Full Monty, in which a group of thoughtful, passionate and often hilarious men lay it bare when it comes to their wives and girlfriends, their hopes and fears. Many of these husbands and fathers contemplate aspects of their personal lives theyve never before revealed -- kicking open the door on their marriages and sex lives, their fathering and domestic conflicts, their most intimate relationships and situations.Powerful, heartfelt and irreverent, this is a bold, unprecedented glimpse into the glaring truths of modern relationships.Audio contains the following essays, written and read by the contributorsPreface -- Cathi HanauerIntroduction -- Daniel JonesA Bachelors Fear -- Steve FriedmanI Am Man, Hear Me Bleat -- Fred LeebronMy List of Chores -- Christopher RussellWard and June R Us -- Rob SpillmanEmbracing the Little SteeringWheel -- Manny HowardLog Man -- David GatesChivalry on Ice -- Daniel Joneshttp://www.hotaudiobooks.com/items/audio-book-on-cd/the-bastard-on-the-couch-the-bitch-in-the-house-selections-006073163x-detail.htmhttp://www.hotaudiobooks.com/browse_item_details.asp/Item_Id/2958489/categ_id/3979War RelatedSat, 8 Nov 2008 07:24:00 PST Amy Tan was born into a family that believed in fate. In The Opposite of Fate: A Book of Musings, she explores this legacy, as well as American circumstances, and finds ways to honor the past while creating her own brand of destiny. She discovers answers in everyday actions and attitudes - from writing stories and decorating her house with charms, to dealing with three members of her family afflicted with brain disease and shaking off both family curses and the expectations that she should become a doctor and a concert pianist. With the same spirit, humor, and magic that characterize her beloved novels, Amy Tan presents a refreshing antidote to the world-weariness and uncertainties we face today, contemplating how things happen - in her own life and beyond - but always returning to the question of fate and its opposites: the choices, charms, influences, attitudes, and lucky accidents that shape us all.http://www.hotaudiobooks.com/items/audio-book-on-cd/the-opposite-of-fate-1596004312-detail.htmhttp://www.hotaudiobooks.com/browse_item_details.asp/Item_Id/2958727/categ_id/3979War RelatedSat, 8 Nov 2008 07:24:00 PST Volume Two Includes: BOOK THREE: SIRENS AND SEA MONSTERS.

AT THE CENTER OF THE STORM recounts George Tenets time at the Central Intelligence Agency, a revealing look at the inner workings of the most important intelligence organization in the world during the most challenging times in recent history. Beginning with his appointment as Director of Central Intelligence in 1997, Tenet unfolds the momentous evens that lead to 9/11 as he saw and experienced them: his declaration of war on al Qaida; the CIAs covert operations inside Afghanistan; the worldwide operationsl plan to fight terrorists; his warnings of imminent attacks against American interests to White House officials in the summer of 2001; and the plan for a coordinated and devastating counterattack against al Qaida laid down just six days after the attacks. Tenets compelling narrative then turns to the war in Iraq as he provides dramatic insight and background on the run-up to the invasion. He sets the record straight about CIA operations and shows readers that the truth is more complex than suggested in other versions of recent history offered thus far. Through it all, Tenet paints an unflinching self-portrait of a man caught between the warring forces of the administrations decision-making process, the reams of frightening intelligence pouring in from around the world, and his own conscience. Drawing on his unmatched experience within the opaque missors of intelligence and providing crucial information previously undisclosed, AT THE CENTER OF THE STORM is a moving and revelatory profile of both a man and a nation in times of crisis.http://www.hotaudiobooks.com/items/audio-book-on-cd/at-the-center-of-the-storm-006115086x-detail.htmhttp://www.hotaudiobooks.com/browse_item_details.asp/Item_Id/3057273/categ_id/3979War RelatedWed, 11 Feb 2009 07:29:00 PST Pooh and Christopher Robin are the best of friends.

Theyre permanently conservative or irreversibly liberal. But are we all really that locked in to the left or the right? Is America still a place where its possible to change someones mind and get them to cross over to the other side of the ideological fence? Is it possible to do that to yourself? For John Moe, it simply wasnt enough to just read the Wall Street Journal editorial page a little more often or buy a framed picture of Barry Goldwater. He went in all the way, drinking deep from all aspects of the conservative universe to see if he could become that which he encountered. Raised in a family of proud left-wingers (except for his late father, whose fondness for Nixon he is forced to confront) and living in deeply liberal Seattle most of his life, Moe set out to determine if what we believe is based on environment or actual conviction. Was there actually a conservative trapped inside him all along, just yearning to be set free? Moe puts himself on a strict conservative regimen: He resets his radio dials from NPR to Rush Limbaugh, goes head-to-head with some of todays most influential conservative thinkers for a series of conversion sessions, makes pilgrimages to the Ronald Reagan and Richard M. Nixon museums, spends the Fourth of July in the most Bush-friendly county in the country, attempts to set his inner Charlton Heston loose at a gun range, flies cross-country to be nearer to Toby Keith, and test-drives the type of massive gas-guzzling SUV so feared and loathed by liberals (and becomes uncomfortably fond of it). Through it all he tries to maintain positivestanding with his lefty wife and young but already liberal kids, including their four-year-old son, who joins the Sierra Club. These are but a few of the adventures chronicled in Moes hilarious and timely first book. Conservatize Me will strike a powerful chord with millions of disgruntled Americans ready for a fresh, humorous, and highly entertaining look at our countrys political landscape. Moes sharply observed prose will have enormous appeal for anyone interested in a new perspective on debates that have, for years, preoccupied our country and dominated our bestseller lists. Will Moe end up getting a Dick Cheney tattoo and swearing loyalty to the Christian Coalition? Will he get a Dennis Kucinich tattoo and dedicate his life to cooking vegan food at protest rallies?

Every day Gucci and Hermès send her their latest items, free, begging her to try them. Which is why Christmas, to Caroline, is such a bore: not only does she keep getting accosted by creepy sidewalk Santas and bombarded by kitschy holiday tunes, but its the one day when everyone else gets presents. This Christmas Eve, shes stuck in Manhattan, embarrassingly boyfriendless, while her fabulous designer mother jets off to a mysterious place called Branson. But things are about to get even worse, thanks to a hideous pair of furry boots, a conniving redheaded assistant named Ursula Heep, and a totally random visit from the ghost of her ex-roommate, Carly. Carlys ghost warns that three more spirits are on the way.

McGreevey of New Jersey made history when he stepped before microphones, declared My truth is that I am a gay American, and announced his resignation. The story made international headlines---but what led to that moment was a human and political drama more complex and fascinating than anyone knew. Now, in this extraordinarily candid memoir, McGreevey shares his story of a life of ambition, moral compromise, and redemption. From childhood, McGreevey lived a kind of idealized American life. The son of working-class Irish Catholic parents, named for an uncle who died at Iwo Jima, he strove to exceed expectations in everything he did, meeting each new challenge as though his future rode on every move. As a young man he was tempted by the priesthood, yet it was another calling--politics--that he found irresistible. Plunging early into the dangerous waters of New Jersey politics, he won three elections by the age of thirty-six, and soon thereafter nearly toppled the states popular governor, Christie Todd Whitman, in a photo-finish election. Four years later, he won the governorship by a landslide. Throughout his adult life, however, Jim McGreevey had been forced to suppress a fundamental truth about himself: that he was gay. He knew at once that the only clear path to his dreams was to live a straight life, and so he split in two, accepting the traditional role of family man while denying his deepest emotions. And he discovered, to his surprise, that becoming a political player demanded ethical shortcuts that became as corrosive as living in the closet. In the cutthroat culture of political bosses, backroom deals, and the insidious practice known as pay-to-play, he writes, political compromises came easy to me because Id learned how to keep a part of myself innocent of them. His policy triumphs as governor were tempered by scandal, as the transgressions of his staff came back to haunt him. Yet only when a former lover threatened to expose him did he finally confront his divided soul, and find the authentic self that had always eluded him. More than a coming-out memoir, The Confession is the story of one mans quest to repair the rift between his public and private selves, at a time in our culture when the personal and political have become tangled like frayed electric cables. Teeming with larger-than-life characters, written with honesty, grace, and rare insight into what it means to negotiate the minefields of American public life, it may be among the most honest political memoirs ever written. http://www.hotaudiobooks.com/items/audio-book-on-cd/the-confession-cd-0061143693-detail.htmhttp://www.hotaudiobooks.com/browse_item_details.asp/Item_Id/3499172/categ_id/3979War RelatedSun, 5 Jul 2009 15:51:00 PST Meet the innovators and upstarts who are inventing the future of business.

Mike and Kate Blaise fell in love during high school in small-town Macon, Missouri. Sharing a deep sense of patriotism, they both entered the U.S. Army-she as a commissioned officer and he as an enlisted infantry soldier who later became a helicopter pilot with the Air Cavalry. Forced to accept the realities of a military marriage yet determined to stay with her husband, Kate passed up her dream assignment in the United States to be with Mike, who was deployed to Korea. But they never imagined a day like 9/11 or the military aftermath that sent them to Iraq, where Mike would lose his life in combat. A memoir unlike any other, The Heart of a Soldier captures the human side of war through the eyes of a unique insider. Delivering a candid take on life as a woman in the military as well as the grueling challenges facing all who serve, Kate Blaise takes us from the dreams of her idealistic youth to her final days with Mike, when she served in the battalion that provided support to his unit in Iraq. In vivid scenes, she describes her personal evolution as a female officer and a wife-and the incalculable price she and Mike paid in service to a country they love.

Levitins astounding debut bestseller, This Is Your Brain on Music, enthralled and delighted readers as it transformed our understanding of how music gets in our heads and stays there. Now in his second New York Times bestseller, his genius for combining science and art reveals how music shaped humanity across cultures and throughout history. Dr. Levitin identifies six fundamental song functions or types-friendship, joy, comfort, religion, knowledge, and love-then shows how each in its own way has enabled the social bonding necessary for human culture and society to evolve. He shows, in effect, how these six songs work in our brains to preserve the emotional history of our lives and species. Dr. Levitin combines cutting-edge scientific research from his music cognition lab at McGill University and work in an array of related fields; his own sometimes hilarious experiences in the music business; and illuminating interviews with musicians such as Sting and David Byrne, as well as conductors, anthropologists, and evolutionary biologists. The World in Six Songs is, ultimately, a revolution in our understanding of how human nature evolved-right up to the iPod. http://www.hotaudiobooks.com/items/audio-book-on-cd/the-world-in-six-songs-how-the-musical-brain-created-human-nature-0143143379-detail.htmhttp://www.hotaudiobooks.com/browse_item_details.asp/Item_Id/3499212/categ_id/3979War RelatedSun, 5 Jul 2009 15:51:00 PST Brundages second novel concerns ugly secrets that lie beneath the glossy veneer of a wealthy town and popular school in the Berkshires, waiting to be exposed by three new arrivals: a sculptor, her son and a writing teacher who gave up his daughter for adoption many years ago. Thrillers often make great audiobooks, because they offer frequent heart-stopping twists and turns. But this literary thriller, with its careful, delicate writing and a slow buildup to a powerful, sudden-and fairly predictable-denouement, is less suited to audio. Despite Bernadette Dunnes considerable efforts, the reading drags from time to time. Mark Bramhall only voices the prologue; the remainder of the book belongs to Dunne, who ably evokes both genders and is particularly skilled with New England accents.

In our generational movement toward wholeness, women want to be more than mothers and homemakers and men aspire to loving relationships rather than simply being warriors and work machines. The age-old distinctions between male and female roles have blurred, and the rules of relationships have not yet caught up, creating confusion and frustration. Our parents couldnt teach us what they didnt know. As children, the lessons we learned from the adult relationships around us did not prepare us for our current adult love interests and challenges. Today, men and women expect relationships to enhance the total quality of their lives, meeting both their practical and emotional needs. And, when the need for individual fulfillment clashes with the desire to have a lasting relationship, couples often resort to divorce.

Lets see: theres something about stealing, lying, murdering...ahhh...but thats only three...what are the rest? More people claim to live by the Ten Commandments than seem to know what they are, let alone what they mean. And in this modern, jet-propelled, nuclear, genetic-engineered world, how important are they? Each day we make innumerable decisions about things that dont really seem earth-shattering in importance. So what if we break a promise? So what if we are married but find passion in another bed? So what if we are too focused on work, TV, or clubs to spend time with family? In The Ten Commandments, Dr. Laura Schlessinger, Americas Mommy, and the conscience of talk radio, reminds us that it is in everyday decisions that we give meaning to our lives or diminish them; and she shows us why adhering to the higher ideals and consistent morality found in the Commandments can create a life of greater purpose, integrity, value, and lasting joy. The Ten Commandments are the first direct communication between a people and God. Designed to elevate our lives above mere frantic, animal existence to the sublime levels humanity is capable of experiencing, they are the blueprint of Gods expectations of us and His plan for a meaningful, just, loving, and holy life. Each of the Ten Commandments asserts a principle, and each principle is a moral focal point for real life issues relating to God, family, sex, work, charity, property, speech, and thought. These principles, and the Commandments they are based upon, are as relevant today as they were in Biblical times. Written and read in collaboration with Rabbi StewartVogel, The Ten Commandments is a modern application of Gods laws, incorporating lively discussion on the Bible and the Judeo-Christian values derived from it. Filled with passion, emotion, provocative and profound insights, The Ten Commandments will move, enlighten, inspire, educate, and entertain you. You won?t be able to look at even mundane moments in your life the same way again.http://www.hotaudiobooks.com/items/audio-book-on-tape/the-ten-commandments-the-significance-of-god-s-laws-in-everyday-life-0694519553-detail.htmhttp://www.hotaudiobooks.com/browse_item_details.asp/Item_Id/3499232/categ_id/3979War RelatedSun, 5 Jul 2009 15:51:00 PST Surgeon Bernie Siegel has written a number of powerful books about the lessons his patients have taught him about life as they faced serious illness and death.

At the wars end in September 1945, under General MacArthurs media blackout, correspondents were forbidden to enter both Nagasaki and Hiroshima. But instead of obediently staying with the press corps in northern Japan, Weller broke away. The intrepid newspaperman reached Nagasaki just weeks after the atomic bomb hit the city. Boldly presenting himself as a U.S. colonel to the Japanese military, Weller set out to explore the devastation. As Nagasakis first outside observer, long before any American medical aid arrived, Weller witnessed the bombs effects and wrote the anatomy of radiated man. He interviewed doctors trying to cure those dying mysteriously from Disease X. He typed far into every night, sending his forbidden dispatches back to MacArthurs censors, assuming their importance would make them unstoppable. He was wrong: the U.S. government censored every word, and the dispatches vanished from history. Weller also became the first to enter the nearby Allied POW camps. From hundreds of prisoners he gathered accounts of watching the atomic explosions bring an end to years of torture and merciless labor in Japanese mines. Their dramatic testimonies sum up one of the least-known chapters of the war-but those stories, too, were silenced. It is a powerful experience, more than 60 years later, to walk with Weller through the smoldering ruins of Nagasaki, or hear the sagas of prisoners who have just learned that their torment is over, and watch one of the eras most battle-experiencedreporters trying to accurately and unsentimentally convey to the American people scenes unlike anything he-or anyone else-knew. Weller died in 2002, believing it all lost forever. Months later, his son found a fragile copy in a crate of moldy papers. This historic body of work has never been published. Along with reports from the brutal POW camps, a stirring saga of the worst of the Japanese hellships which carried U.S. prisoners into murder and even cannibalism, and a trove of Wellers unseen photos, First into Nagasaki provides a moving, unparalleled look at the bomb that killed more than 70,000 people and ended WWII. Amid current disputes over the controlled embedding of journalists in war zones and a governments right to keep secrets, it reminds us how such courageous rogue reporting is still essential to learning the truth.http://www.hotaudiobooks.com/items/audio-book-on-cd/first-into-nagasaki-the-censored-eyewitness-dispatches-on-post-atomic-japan-and-its-prisoners-of-war-detail.htmhttp://www.hotaudiobooks.com/browse_item_details.asp/Item_Id/3499240/categ_id/3979War RelatedSun, 5 Jul 2009 15:51:00 PST Sex is not just about physical attraction -- its also about communication, something couples who hope to achieve truly fulfilling sex and lasting passion must cultivate.

In Stirring It Up, Hirshberg describes how he built a successful $300 million-per-year business by incorporating environmental principles and practices, and how other companies can accomplish this, too. Making a business green actually saves companies money in the long run-for instance, by measuring and reducing ones climate footprint, cutting down on trash and packaging, converting waste to energy, and building loyal and sustainable supplier relations, all while boosting consumer loyalty and thus reducing advertising costs. Hirshberg illustrates his points with practical information and advice, as well as engaging anecdotes from the early days of his yogurt company: how a power outage left them milking cows by hand, and how a fire in a Dumpster revealed the need for better packaging. He also describes numerous hands-on grassroots marketing strategies, such as using the yogurt lids for messages about the environment and giving out samples to thank subway commuters for using public transit, and explains how these approaches make a much more powerful impact on consumers than traditional advertising. Included are many examples of other businesses that have saved money by reducing their environmental footprints-companies such as Timberland, Patagonia, Whole Foods, Newmans Own, Clif Bar, and even Wal-Mart-all of whom have found that being green can be both cost-effective and financially rewarding. An inspiring book for business owners and managers as well as anyone interested in saving the environment, Stirring It Up demonstrates how companies can work to save the planet, while achieving greater profits and satisfaction, as well.http://www.hotaudiobooks.com/items/audio-book-on-cd/stirring-it-up-cd-how-to-make-money-and-save-the-world-1401388906-detail.htmhttp://www.hotaudiobooks.com/browse_item_details.asp/Item_Id/3499254/categ_id/3979War RelatedSun, 5 Jul 2009 15:51:00 PST As Willie puts her archaeological skills to work digging for the truth about her lineage, she discovers that her familys history runs deep.

These and other paradoxes are driving a whole new science -simplexity- that is redefining how we look at the world and using that new view to improve our lives. Through the lens of this surprising new science, the world becomes a delicate place filled with predictable patterns, but theyre patterns we often fail to see as were time and again fooled by our instincts, by our fear, by the size of things, even by their beauty. In Simplexity, Jeffrey Kluger shows how a drinking straw can save thousands of lives; how investors behave like atoms; and how physics drives jazz.

Kennedy called America the land we love more than 42 years ago, he was reminding us of the lofty ideals on which our country was founded. But what are those ideals, and how have Americans defined them? Is America the land of George Washington and Franklin Delano Roosevelt, who rallied the countrys spirits for unity in wartime, or is it a land of dissent, a land in which Frederick Douglass, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, and Martin Luther King, Jr. remind us of our duty to protect our most fundamental freedoms? Are we defined by the speeches of Thomas Jefferson and Ronald Reagan or by the humor of H.L. Mencken and Mark Twain? Caroline Kennedys answer in A Patriots Handbook is that we are all of those things and more. The poems, songs, speeches, letters, and historical documents that Caroline Kennedy has chosen for this remarkable collection remind us of the foundations on which America was built. But they also ask us to examine what it truly means to be a patriot, even if our assumptions are challenged along the way, because it is only by doing so that America can truly be our own.

Quickly implicated in the death is a local college professor named Deacon Kane, himself recovering from the accidental drowning death of his only son years ago - recovering slowly, and with the help of alcohol and an addictive, messy affair with a married woman. As the police and several other interested parties watch his every move, Kane befriends a hypnotically alluring bartender named Collette and quickly continues his brutal downward spiral with little regard for self-preservation. Whether and how Kane is connected to the young victims are the questions everyone wants answered. And as it becomes clear that Kane himself may not know the extent of his own involvement, all must admit that something dark and sinister is at work in Southhampton. Daniel Judson has a virtuosOs touch and an uncanny ability to layer suspense, plot, and character study into an engrossing and completely surprising crime novel that will not soon be forgotten.http://www.hotaudiobooks.com/items/audio-book-on-cd/darkest-place-the-1423304179-detail.htmhttp://www.hotaudiobooks.com/browse_item_details.asp/Item_Id/3499264/categ_id/3979War RelatedSun, 5 Jul 2009 15:51:00 PST This brilliant, readable synthesis of the history of mythology and the function it serves to humanity is the launch title of the groundbreaking publishing event, The Myths. Human beings have always been mythmakers. So begins Karen Armstrongs concise yet compelling investigation into myth: what it is, how it has evolved, and why we still so desperately need it. She takes us from the Paleolithic period and the myths of the hunters right up to the Great Western Transformation of the last five hundred years and the discrediting of myth by science. The history of myth is the history of humanity, our stories and beliefs, our curiosity and attempts to understand the world, which link us to our ancestors and each other. Myths help us make sense of the universe. Heralding a major series of retellings of international myths by authors from around the world, Armstrongs characteristically insightful and eloquent book serves as a brilliant and thought-provoking introduction to myth in the broadest sense -- and explains why if we dismiss it, we do so at our peril. http://www.hotaudiobooks.com/items/new-arrivals/a-short-history-of-myth-unabridged-1423307690-detail.htmhttp://www.hotaudiobooks.com/browse_item_details.asp/Item_Id/3499275/categ_id/3979War RelatedSun, 5 Jul 2009 15:52:00 PST Homers Odyssey is not the only version of the story. Mythic material was originally oral, and also local -- a myth would be told one way in one place and quite differently in another. I have drawn on material other than the Odyssey, especially for the details of Penelopes parentage, her early life and marriage, and the scandalous rumors circulating about her. Ive chosen to give the telling of the story to Penelope and to the twelve hanged maids. The maids form a chanting and singing Chorus, which focuses on two questions that must pose themselves after any close reading of the Odyssey: What led to the hanging of the maids, and what was Penelope really up to? The story as told in the Odyssey doesnt hold water: there are too many inconsistencies. Ive always been haunted by the hanged maids and, in The Penelopiad, so is Penelope herself. -- from Margaret Atwoods Foreword to The Penelopiad http://www.hotaudiobooks.com/items/audio-book-on-cd/the-penelopiad-the-myth-of-penelope-and-odysseus-unabridged-1423307771-detail.htmhttp://www.hotaudiobooks.com/browse_item_details.asp/Item_Id/3499276/categ_id/3979War RelatedSun, 5 Jul 2009 15:52:00 PST With wit and verve, the prize-winning author of Sexing the Cherry and Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit brings the mythical figure of Atlas into the space age and sets him free at last. In her retelling of the story of a god tricked into holding the world on his shoulders and his brief reprieve, she sets difficult questions about the nature of choice and coercion, how we choose our own destiny and at the same time can liberate ourselves from our seeming fate.

Cracking under the pressure of his pal calling him chicken, Mitchell reluctantly agrees, but soon comes to regret it. That night, with the stolen piece of history tucked safely under his bed, Mitchell finds it difficult to sleep. It isnt very long after he closes his eyes that he has his first nightmare. Terrible visions of monsters, beasts, and wild men attack him in his sleep, trying to stop him from reaching his final opponent, an ominous, emerald suit of armor... just like the one at the museum! The dream always ends the same way; the knight strikes Mitchell down. When things from the dreamworld start happening in real life, Mitchell pleads with Howard and their other friend, Keri, for help.

A long time ago the giant movie screen flickered with life, showing technicolor westerns, murky mobster flicks and monster movies, but not anymore. Now the giant screen is overgrown with vines while rows of rusted speakers line the barren field like grave markers. Jonathan Drake often wonders what it would have been like to see his favorite old horror movies on the big screen. He and his friends visit the Starlight Drive-In often. They wander around the dark, overgrown field, remembering their favorite scenes from horror movies and reciting lines by heart. Then Jon hears a strange noise, like the hiss and pop of an old movie. They watch in shock as the speakers begin to shake and a beam of light leaps from the projection booth on to the screen. Jon and his friends are about to make their scream debut in a special feature . . . a real creature feature . . . and their roles are to die for. http://www.hotaudiobooks.com/items/audio-book-on-cd/creature-features-strange-matter-strange-matter-1423308948-detail.htmhttp://www.hotaudiobooks.com/browse_item_details.asp/Item_Id/3499292/categ_id/3979War RelatedSun, 5 Jul 2009 15:52:00 PST When a Hollywood location scout comes to Applewood, Long Island, and announces that the local elementary school might make the perfect backdrop for an upcoming George Clooney movie, the PTAs decorum crumbles like a cookie from last weeks bake sale. Enter Maddie, Ruth, and Lisa, three women who become the glue that holds the project together . . . and wind up forging a bond of friendship stronger than anyone could imagine. A good thing, too, because each one of them is about to come apart. Maddie Schein, an ex-lawyer trying hard to fit in and save her marriage, gets knocked off balance by Jack Rose, an old college friend hell-bent on seducing her. Ruth Moss - rich, sexy, and outspoken - has more to give and less to enjoy than most people think. Indeed, since her husbands stroke left him embarrassingly uninhibited yet completely impotent, shes more of a caretaker than a wife. And modest Lisa Slotnick, a loving parent who wants nothing more than to fade into the scenery as she tends to her children, must deal with the humiliation of being thrust into the spotlight by her scandalous, alcoholic mother. When these three get together, a powerful alliance is formed. But is it strong enough to overcome the obstacles to getting the movie made in their town?

Demanding, insatiably needy, and all ego and id, her son was still by far the best boss shed ever had. Julia Einstein knew that being a stay-at-home mom had a lot in common with her former job as a celebrity publicist - endless, irrational demands, little to no appreciation, and constant hustle. But it isnt until her husband is laid off from his job and shes forced to go back to work and resurrect screen legend Mary Fords career that Julia realizes how very much she prefers an actual child to a formerly famous client. For example, her child doesnt steal ten-thousand-dollar leather coats from photo shoots. Nor does he require a constant, fresh supply of a soda that is no longer in production. He doesnt curse at Julia, pronounce her name Einstein with a thick layer of disdainful irony, or incessantly poke at her with his index finger while reciting odd variations on childlike rhymes like a psych patient on day pass. With a mortgage looming and three years out of the business, however, Julia knows she has no choice but to make Marys comeback a success. Even if it kills her. Which, at this pace, is a possibility. But if there is one thing Julia has learned from her time off from the office, its that sheer determination can solve almost everything. After all, if she can get through suburban living with its uncontrolled clutter and playground politics, how hard can it be to resuscitate the career of an aging, desperate has-been?

Buoyed by his successes on the Continent, Hitler was now planning an invasion of England to seal Europes fate. Though the United States was still a neutral country, a few Americans decided they couldnt remain on the sidelines. They joined Britains Royal Air Force to defend the country - with the future of civilization hanging in the balance. The Few tells the dramatic and unforgettable story of these Americans who defied their own countrys neutrality laws and risked their very citizenship to fight side-by-side with Englands finest pilots. Flying the lethal and elegant Spitfire, they became knights of the air who, with minimal training but plenty of guts, dueled the skilled and fearsome aces of Germanys Luftwaffe. By October 1940, they had helped England win the greatest air battle in the history of aviation. Some five years later, at wars end, just one of them would be alive. Winston Churchill once said famously of all those who fought in the Battle of Britain, Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few. These daring Americans were the few among the few.http://www.hotaudiobooks.com/items/audio-book-on-cd/few-the-the-american-1423315979-detail.htmhttp://www.hotaudiobooks.com/browse_item_details.asp/Item_Id/3499312/categ_id/3979War RelatedSun, 5 Jul 2009 15:52:00 PST Explore the mind of an assassin in R.A.

A blonde in shades walks into a bar. Spots this hustler whOs trying to stay out of the game. Tells him she has a slap-happy billionaire husband and a big score in her pretty little head. All the hustler has to do is what he does best: lie, cheat, fake, and steal - and watch both the money and the girl fall into his lap. Trouble is, the hustler has pulled every con in the book, and he instinctively knows this: The blonde cant just be a beautiful blonde, the score cant just be a score, and the big bad husband has to have an angle of his own. Most of all, Kip Largo has serious suspicions about himself. After all, hes just gotten out of prison and isnt interested in going back. But for a man who was born the son of a grifter and now lives in a Palo Alto apartment whose carpeting was last changed when Eisenhower was president, the blonde in the bar bit is starting to look too good to pass up. Then, as in any good con, the pot gets sweetened - and the incentives rise - when Kips son shows up with a story about a big gambling debt to the Russian mob. Now Kip is going all-in, doubts and all.

Even their garden has a reputation, famous for its feisty apple tree that bears prophetic fruit, and its edible flowers, imbued with special powers. Generations of Waverleys tended this garden. Their history was in the soil. But so were their futures. A successful caterer, Claire Waverley prepares dishes made with her mystical plants - from the nasturtiums that aid in keeping secrets and the pansies that make children thoughtful, to the snapdragons intended to discourage the attentions of her amorous neighbor. Meanwhile, her elderly cousin, Evanelle, is known for distributing unexpected gifts whose uses become uncannily clear. They are the last of the Waverleys - except for Claires rebellious sister, Sydney, who fled Bascom the moment she could, abandoning Claire, as their own mother had years before. When Sydney suddenly returns home with a young daughter of her own, Claires quiet life is turned upside down - along with the protective boundary she has so carefully constructed around her heart. Together again in the house they grew up in, Sydney takes stock of all she left behind, as Claire struggles to heal the wounds of the past.

Of course, reality is more complicated than dreamy clichés. She and Hope share bunk beds in the Cupcake - the girlie pastel bedroom normally occupied by twelve-year-old twins. Their Brooklyn neighborhood is better suited to breeders, and she and Hope split the rent with their promiscuous high school pal, Manda, and her genderqueer boifriend.

When Kim married Anson Buzz Clinton, 28, a former male exotic dancer deemed an unsuitable guardian by the Carpenter family, Beth became obsessed with the idea that only his death could ensure that she and her parents would get custody of the child. On March 10, 1994, on a lonely stretch of road, Clinton was shot five times. MISFIT MURDERERS Behind Clintons death lay a bizarre murder-for-hire conspiracy that found privileged professionals and local misfits joined in a cold-blooded plot against an innocent man. This homicidal group included attorney Haiman Clein, 52. A husband, father, and successful businessman, Clein was Beth Carpenters boss-and also her sexually obsessed, cocaine-snorting, murderously obedient lover. The paid killers were two buddies, organizer Joe Fremut and triggerman Mark Despres, who brought his 15-year-old son Christopher along for the hit.

Digital Natives, Boomerang Boomers, and Generation X-ecutives are all grappling with the transformative implications of Web 2.0 technologies, and organizations are scrambling for the best ways to unlock the talents of a multigenerational workforce in a connected world. Generation Blend ventures deep into the technology age gap and provides real-world solutions to combine the best that younger and older workers have to offer. Generation Blend explores how generational attitudes toward technology affect issues as diverse as recruitment and retention, employee training, management decision-making, collaboration, knowledge sharing, work/life balance, and ordinary workday activities. How can your organization promote the continuity of knowledge and culture in the face of the coming demographic transition? What hidden factors put new technology deployments at risk? How can IT departments manage the growing demand for social and collaborative software while maintaining governance and security? What initiatives can you launch to bridge the divide in work styles and tech-savvy that separates veterans and newcomers in the workforce? In Generation Blend, author Rob Salkowitz builds on the groundbreaking work of Don Tapscott (Wikinomics, Growing Up Digital), William Strauss and Neil Howe (Generations, Millennials Rising), and many others to connect the dots of sociology, technology, and management, and trace a roadmap for decision-makers. Generation Blend is rich with research and includes two original in-depth case studies from organizations that have developed unique approaches to bridging the technology age gap:Microsofts Board of the Future project, which assembles college-age students from around the world to discuss a wide range of workplace issues, and Older Adults Technology Services, a New York based nonprofit dedicated to intergenerational technology training and reciprocal mentoring programs. Organizations of all types and sizes can profit from their methods. The retirement of the Baby Boomers, the arrival of the Millennials, and the impact of Web 2.0 technology in the enterprise create unprecedented complexity for employers and workers in the 2010s and beyond. Organizations looking to solve the puzzle of productivity across the technology age gap should start with Generation Blend. http://www.hotaudiobooks.com/items/audio-book-on-cd/generation-blend-managing-across-the-technology-age-gap-142336001x-detail.htmhttp://www.hotaudiobooks.com/browse_item_details.asp/Item_Id/3499374/categ_id/3979War RelatedSun, 5 Jul 2009 15:52:00 PST How can your organization increase its agility, alignment, and accountability to improve performance?

It definitely is NOT on their approved list. Swim against the Current is one of those books that the power elites dont like seeing in stores, much less in your hands - not merely because it challenges their established order, but especially because our book reveals paths that folks like you can use to escape their rigid, hierarchical structures and discover a bit more satisfaction in life. They prefer that you pick up one of those escapist novels over there across the store, rather than finding out that the greatest escape of all can be from stultifying conventional wisdom. We Americans are constantly harassed into thinking that we cant break the mold that those in charge have made for us. But as a friend of ours puts it: Those who say it cant be done should not interrupt those who are doing it. Its the uplifting stories of mavericks that we tell here. Theyve broken free of the corporate tentacles, free of business-as-usual politics, free of top-down elites. Theyre figuring out new ways to do commerce, ways to create political channels that empower grassroots Americans, and ways to live their lives. As these folks show, resistance is not futile . . . its fertile. Join the fun!

Salem relentlessly lays bare the private behavior of public people in the fast-paced media spotlight. From Manhattan to the Hamptons, from Miami to Hollywood, the settings are larger than life, but the intimate realities hit straight to the heart. Listeners will find some part of themselves in the guilt, passions, fears, and longings of these dynamic women. Ambition and talent, sex, and seduction - their lives are full of it all - but they are on a crash course with destiny during one explosive summer. Liza: She slays rival media commentators with her firebrand feminist spin, enjoying a lucrative career as the millenniums new Naomi Wolf. Yet shes falling into all the old traps she cautions other women to avoid. Kellyanne: She waits tables and plays mistress to a rich developer, holding out for her big break as an actress. But why are the phenomenal looks that were supposed to take her all the way leading her to the edge of disaster? Billie: She rocks the indie music scene with her nose pressed against the glass, hoping for a shot at real success in a cutthroat industry. Sex is candy, drugs are fuel, people are disposable, and looking out for number one is the only way she knows how to live. Tan Lines is an addictive story that exposes the illusions of glamour, the dark side of success, and the elusiveness of love. Thrill by thrill and sin by sin, its told with savvy insight and searing prose.

After all, science has cured countless diseases and even sent humans into space. But as Jonah Lehrer argues in this sparkling debut, science is not the only path to knowledge. In fact, when it comes to understanding the brain, art got there first. Taking a group of artists - a painter, a poet, a chef, a composer, and a handful of novelists - Lehrer shows how each one discovered an essential truth about the mind that science is only now rediscovering. We learn, for example, how Proust first revealed the fallibility of memory; how George Eliot discovered the brains malleability; how the French chef Escoffier discovered umami (the fifth taste); how Cézanne worked out the subtleties of vision; and how Gertrude Stein exposed the deep structure of language - a full half-century before the work of Noam Chomsky and other linguists. Its the ultimate tale of art trumping science. More broadly, Lehrer shows that there is a cost to reducing everything to atoms and acronyms and genes. Measurement is not the same as understanding, and art knows this better than science does. An ingenious blend of biography, criticism, and first-rate science writing, Proust Was a Neuroscientist urges science and art to listen more closely to each other, for willing minds can combine the best of both, to brilliant effect. http://www.hotaudiobooks.com/items/audio-book-on-cd/proust-was-a-neuroscientist-1423374207-detail.htmhttp://www.hotaudiobooks.com/browse_item_details.asp/Item_Id/3499384/categ_id/3979War RelatedSun, 5 Jul 2009 15:52:00 PST An internationally recognized authority on high level performance, Zig Ziglar explodes some popular management myths and reveals how to manage ourselves and others so that we achieve maximum effectiveness.

Judged guilty of wartime crimes, including the murder of seven Jews, he was sentenced to death in absentia after the war. Thanks to Church sympathizers and highly placed government officials, he eluded capture until 1989. Acclaimed novelist Brian Moore reinvented this true-life case into a gripping tale of crime, pursuit, and punishment. Since the Allied victory, Pierre Brossard has been on the run for his war crimes, successfully protected by powerful friends in the French government and the Church. However, time is running out for Brossard - those who once saved him may now betray him - and his future grows increasingly uncertain. In The Statement, evil wears a disturbingly human face. Reader Andrew Sachs captures the essence of Moores storytelling in this complex literary thriller.http://www.hotaudiobooks.com/items/audio-book-on-cd/the-statement-audio-editions-1572703334-detail.htmhttp://www.hotaudiobooks.com/browse_item_details.asp/Item_Id/3499394/categ_id/3979War RelatedSun, 5 Jul 2009 15:52:00 PST Jeffrey Moussaieff Massons groundbreaking bestseller, When Elephants Weep, was the first book since Darwins time to explore emotions in the animal kingdom, particularly from animals in the wild. Now, he focuses exclusively on the contained world of the farm animal, revealing startling, irrefutable evidence that barnyard creatures have feelings too, even consciousness. Weaving history, literature, anecdotes, scientific studies, and Massons own vivid experiences observing pigs, cows, sheep, goats, and chickens over the course of five years, this important book at last gives voice, meaning, and dignity to these gentle beasts that are bred to be milked, shorn, butchered, and eaten. Can we ever know what makes an animal happy? Many animal behaviorists say no. But Jeffrey Masson has a different view: An animal is happy if it can live according to its own nature. Farm animals suffer greatly in this regard. Chickens, for instance, like to perch in trees at night, to avoid predators and to nestle with friends. The obvious conclusion: They cannot be happy when confined twenty to a cage. From field and barn, to pen and coop, Masson bears witness to the emotions and intelligence of these remarkable farm animals, each unique with distinct qualities. Curious, intelligent, self-reliant-many will find it hard to believe that these attributes describe a pig. In fact, there is much that humans share with pigs. They dream, know their names, and can see colors. Mother cows mourn the loss of their calves when their babies are taken away to slaughter. Given a choice between food that is nutritious or lacking in minerals, sheep will select the former,balancing their diet and correcting the deficiency. Goats display quite a sense of humor, dignity, and fearlessness (Indian goats have been known to kill leopards). Chickens are naturally sociable-they will gather around a human companion and stand there serenely preening themselves or sit quietly on the ground beside someone they trust. For far too long farm animals have been denigrated and treated merely as creatures of instinct rather than as sentient beings. Shattering the abhorrent myth of the dumb animal without feelings, Jeffrey Masson has written a revolutionary book that is sure to stir human emotions far and wide.http://www.hotaudiobooks.com/items/audio-book-on-cd/the-pig-who-sang-to-the-moon-the-emotional-world-of-farm-animals-audio-editions-1572703725-detail.htmhttp://www.hotaudiobooks.com/browse_item_details.asp/Item_Id/3499397/categ_id/3979War RelatedSun, 5 Jul 2009 15:52:00 PST When George W. Bush Became President in January 2001, he took office with a comfortably familiar surname, bipartisan rhetoric, and the promise of calming a public shaken by the convulsions of a contested election. Then, after the tragedy of 9/11, both the country and the world looked to him for leadership that could unite people behind great common goals. Instead, George W. Bush squandered the good will felt toward America, turned allies into adversaries, and ran what may well be the most radical and divisive administration in the history of the presidency. Carefully documented and with vivid detail, The Book on Bush traces the guiding ideology that runs through a wide range of W.s policies. The Book on Bush is an invaluable resource that exposes plutocracy posing as patriotism and, in area after area, the encroachment of radical right-wing ideology onto a moderate country. http://www.hotaudiobooks.com/items/audio-book-on-cd/the-book-on-bush-how-george-w-mis-leads-america-1572703768-detail.htmhttp://www.hotaudiobooks.com/browse_item_details.asp/Item_Id/3499399/categ_id/3979War RelatedSun, 5 Jul 2009 15:52:00 PST With more than 2 million members, MoveOn is at the cutting edge of a new model for political activism.

The United States can strike preemptively because freedom is on the march. Social security should be privatized in order to protect individual freedoms. In the 2005 presidential inaugural speech, the words freedom, free, and liberty were used forty-nine times. Freedom is one of the most contested words in American political discourse, the keystone to the domestic and foreign policy battles that are racking this polarized nation. For many Democrats, it seems that President Bushs use of the word is meaningless and contradictory-deployed opportunistically to justify American military action abroad and the curtailing of civil liberties at home. But in Whose Freedom?, George Lakoff, an adviser to the Democratic party, shows that in fact the right has effected a devastatingly coherent and ideological redefinition of freedom. The conservative revolution has remade freedom in its own image and deployed it as a central weapon on the front lines of everything from the war on terror to the battles over religion in the classroom and abortion. In a deep and alarming analysis, Lakoff explains the mechanisms behind this hijacking of our most cherished political idea-and shows how progressives have not only failed to counter the right-wing attack on freedom but have failed to recognize its nature. Whose Freedom? argues forcefully what progressives must do to take back ground in this high-stakes war over the most central idea in American life. http://www.hotaudiobooks.com/items/audio-book-on-cd/whose-freedom-the-battle-over-america-s-most-important-idea-1572705558-detail.htmhttp://www.hotaudiobooks.com/browse_item_details.asp/Item_Id/3499406/categ_id/3979War RelatedSun, 5 Jul 2009 15:52:00 PST After Ben Holiday purchased Landover, he discovered the magic kingdom had some problems.

Ten years and twelve million copies after the first printing of The Bridges of Madison County, Robert James Waller brings to a poignant conclusion his story of the love affair between a wandering photographer and the conventional wife of an Iowa farmer. In A Thousand Country Roads, Robert Kincaid initially finds himself with little but memories of a lonely existence lived mostly on the road and memories of Francesca Johnson, the woman whose passion he stirred so briefly and with such power. So, with his memories pushing him, searching for something undefined, something to give meaning to the rest of his life, Kincaid takes to the road again in what becomes a journey of discovery and surprise. With his dog Highway beside him in an old truck named Harry, Kincaid begins a long winding run back to Roseman Bridge in Madison County, Iowa, returning to the place of his great love affair. Living her own solitary life, Francesca still visits Roseman Bridge and reflects on her days and nights with Robert Kincaid. Cherishing the memory of the strange, wandering man who changed her world, she vows to search for him. On the expedition he calls Last Time, Kincaid wanders through Oregon, northern California, eastward to the Dakotas, and on to Iowa. Along the way, a chance encounter with a woman from his distant past reveals another dimension of his life he could not have imagined. Finally, in a Seattle bar called Shortys, where saxophonist Nighthawk Cummings still plays on Tuesday nights, Kincaid turns in his chair, looking inward and outward at the same time, and smiles at what he sees sitting before him. And so it comes, the ultimate loner finds he is not as alone as he once believed. http://www.hotaudiobooks.com/items/audio-book-on-cd/thousand-country-roads-a-an-epilogue-to-the-bridges-of-madison-county-brilliance-audio-on-compact-di-detail.htmhttp://www.hotaudiobooks.com/browse_item_details.asp/Item_Id/3499418/categ_id/3979War RelatedSun, 5 Jul 2009 15:52:00 PST Bright but inexperienced attorney Mitchell Taylor is torn between warring personal and professional interests.

Dr. Browns premature death, however, and mounting evidence that the baby has Downs Syndrome unleash a legal, ethical, and moral firestorm. Dr. Browns dying wish is that the remaining embryos be used for stem cell research. His wife wants to force the abortion of the baby Maryna carries in hopes that one of the remaining embryos can produce a healthy child. Meanwhile, Mitchell wrestles with an agonizing ethical dilemma: Can he protect the embryos, which requires that a federal legislative ban on cloning be overturned, while at the same time helping the beautiful young surrogate save the child she carries - possible only if the ban is upheld?

As the book opens, the town is joyously celebrating the birth of the Frank Eleven: eleven babies simultaneously born to Manda and James Frank after fertility treatments. But as autumn progresses and the babies weaken, the community seeks to redeem itself through the making and transporting of a symbolic Mammoth Cheese to Washington, as a gift for the newly elected President Brooke.

Wall Street fathers, young Port Authority police, single working moms, the beloved coach of the championship girls traveling basketball team. Three toddlers in one church pre-school lost their daddies. Dozens of widows, young and beautiful girls in their 20s and 30s, some still nursing newborns, watched their dreams literally go up in smoke in that amphitheater of death across the river. Gail Sheehy traveled to Middletown shortly after the disaster and began in-depth interviews with many of the bereaved. Middletown, America was written as the year progressed, following parallel and intertwining stories of selected individuals and their families. A mother who was doubly bereft when she lost her only son as he tried to fill the shoes of her absentee husband; the sole survivor in an office of 67 people who escaped the 88th floor of Tower 2 seconds before the floor was decimated. Here are the fire-fighters, rescue workers and front-line public health volunteers, now training to be soldiers in this new war. Of equal importance, however, is the way these very real individuals dealt with this disaster and the trauma that followed. Middletown, America is also a story of recovery and of the ways people finally learn to deal with seemingly insurmountable grief and an incomprehensible physical and financial disaster.http://www.hotaudiobooks.com/items/audio-book-on-cd/middletown-america-one-town-s-passage-from-trauma-to-hope-1593552262-detail.htmhttp://www.hotaudiobooks.com/browse_item_details.asp/Item_Id/3499423/categ_id/3979War RelatedSun, 5 Jul 2009 15:52:00 PST The #1 New York Times and #1 internationally bestselling author who is a shining example of what overcoming adversity really means now shares the final stage of his uplifting journey that has touched the lives of millions.

And yet, others are depending on them and being influenced by them. So for those women who are running on empty, feeling lonely or weary, Lindsey OConnor offers an invigorating dose of hope. If Mama Goes South, Were All Going with Her looks at five biblical principles from Galatians for overcoming problems that weigh women down and dilute their influence on others. What does it really look like to not grow weary in well doing? Am I really making a difference? Why do I feel alone? These questions, and more, are touched upon with splashes of humor and plenty of personal depth. OConnor includes a chapter about the delivery of her fifth child, an event that forced her into a ten-week coma, from which she is currently and miraculously recovering. http://www.hotaudiobooks.com/items/audio-book-on-cd/if-mama-g-s-south-we-re-all-going-with-her-1593552459-detail.htmhttp://www.hotaudiobooks.com/browse_item_details.asp/Item_Id/3499425/categ_id/3979War RelatedSun, 5 Jul 2009 15:52:00 PST The man who saved Christianity - grateful words spoken by millions after Dr. Jonathan Weber revealed the truth about an archaeological dig two years ago. But Jon isnt interested in the hype. Hes far more concerned with how people are being misled by prophecy enthusiasts and their bizarre end-times scenarios, particularly the wrong-headed predictions of his nemesis, Melvin Morris Merton. Still, Jon is a professor, not a crusader. Hes happy with his life of teaching (Harvard and Hebrew University), writing (a best-selling biography of Jesus), and research (Near East studies). Hes also a newlywed, deeply in love with his brilliant and beautiful wife, Shannon. Not even an annoying lawsuit from Merton can shake his world. But Joshua Ben-Yosef can. This Israeli speaks a dozen languages - fluently and without accent. His words ripple with wisdom and authority, and crowds follow him, enthralled. He heals the sick, gives sight to the blind, casts out demons, and even raises the dead. Once again, Jon is drawn into a hot pursuit of the truth that at times casts him into the very lonely, very dangerous role of one man against the world.

Named by New York magazine as the journalist most likely to succeed in the Years of Bush, he has charmed liberals and roused conservatives with his singular brand of acerbic wit and razor-sharp insight. Tossed by fate (and the O.J. Simpson murder trial) into the trenches of electronic journalism, Carlson learned early that television brings out the crazy in people. Naturally, he started taking notes. The result is a hilarious and brilliantly revealing look at the most powerful and weirdest medium there is. Carlson has not only seen television from the inside, but dares to describe it. In this book, he takes you behind the curtain of a political talk show: The hosts. The guests. The stalkers. From the heroic to the imprisoned to Monica Lewinskys sex therapist, Carlson has interviewed them all. Not always edifying, but definitely more fun than playing Scrabble with the shut-ins, its a portrait you wont forget. http://www.hotaudiobooks.com/items/audio-book-on-cd/politicians-partisans-and-parasites-my-adventures-in-cable-news-1593552963-detail.htmhttp://www.hotaudiobooks.com/browse_item_details.asp/Item_Id/3499429/categ_id/3979War RelatedSun, 5 Jul 2009 15:52:00 PST What did God have in mind when He saw Joshua as a young slave in Egypt?

Through Joshua and numerous examples from their own lives, the authors create a picture of Gods ways, offering deep insight that listeners can apply to their own lives.

Karen Hughes has worked beside President George W. Bush since, as she says, the motorcade was only one car and he was sometimes the one driving it. As counselor to the president, she brought the working moms perspective to the White House, often asking of President Bushs policies, What does this mean for the average person? Yet the move from Texas to Washington was hard on her family, and in a controversial, headline-making decision that reverberated across America, she summoned the courage to say, Mr. President, I love you, but I need to move my family home to Texas. There, Hughes continues to advise the president, where the kitchen wall calendar marks the State of the Union message side by side with her sons orthodontist appointments. Reading Ten Minutes from Normal - the title comes from the campaign trail - one is instantly absorbed in what its like to be a normal person who goes to work at the White House as a part of the presidents inner circle. Told in Karen Hughess disarmingly down-to-earth, warm, often funny, and frank voice, the book is a remarkable blend of an ordinary womans life, with all its compromises and everyday decisions, and a keenly insightful look at American politics and Americas forty-third president. This is a book for the legions of women and men everywhere who are seeking new inspiration for how to reorder their priorities and achieve balance in their lives. Most important, in a post-9/11 world, Hughes redefines thevery notion of what is normal as something special and precious, never to be taken for granted in America again.http://www.hotaudiobooks.com/items/audio-book-on-cd/ten-minutes-from-normal-1593558074-detail.htmhttp://www.hotaudiobooks.com/browse_item_details.asp/Item_Id/3499438/categ_id/3979War RelatedSun, 5 Jul 2009 15:52:00 PST One of the hardest truths about divorce is that every split - no matter when it occurs - will have lifelong effects on the children caught in the crossfire. While most people acknowledge our pain during our parents parting, few of us realize that our most significant insecurities, questions, and doubts may not show up for years, when we seek our own intimate relationships as adults. In fact, millions of adult children of divorce feel lost, displaced, or unwanted years after the ink has dried on their parents divorce decree. Like them, you may fear abandonment, betrayal, or failure in your own marriage. Despite outward successes, you may doubt your emotional abilities. You may notice that your parents divorce affects you more each year, not less. You are not alone.

After an idyllic upbringing in a small Midwestern town by loving adoptive parents, he finds himself in the jungles of Bataan, fighting the Japanese. Fearsome combat unearths deep-buried feelings of violence and revenge, and when Michael OSullivan returns to the homefront, a battle-scarred veteran at 22, he picks up his old war against the Capone mob, in Chicago. Suddenly, Michael Satariano must become one of the enemy, working his way quickly up to the trusted side of Frank Nitti himself -- and putting himself, and his soul, at risk. In a parallel tale set in 1922, Michael OSullivan, Sr., working for Irish godfather John Looney, is about to become a father; but the bidding of Looney, and the misdeeds of Looneys crazed son Connor, put his happy home at risk. The two Michael OSullivans reach a similar crossroads as the two tales converge in the purgatory of good men trapped in bad lives. http://www.hotaudiobooks.com/items/audio-book-on-cd/road-to-purgatory-brilliance-audio-on-compact-disc-1593559542-detail.htmhttp://www.hotaudiobooks.com/browse_item_details.asp/Item_Id/3499440/categ_id/3979War RelatedSun, 5 Jul 2009 15:52:00 PST Mona Charen has a loyal following from her syndicated newspaper column (which runs in more than two hundred newspapers) and her many television and radio appearances. Her first book, Useful Idiots, was a six-week New York Times bestseller. Now shes back, switching her focus from foreign policy to domestic issues. Unlike some conservatives who throw verbal hand-grenades, Charen never gets shrill or mean. Instead, she focuses on the facts to reveal exactly why liberals are wrong - and how their proposals hurt the very people they claim to be fighting for, as well as the country as a whole. Do-Gooders is a guide to the smug know-it-alls in politics, the news media, and Hollywood who think they know whats best for the poor and other needy Americans. From Marion Wright Edelman to Howard Dean, Hillary Clinton to Rob Reiner, this book will skewer the liberals by name. It covers topics like: · Education: Do-gooders send their own kids to private schools while working to deny poor children a better education through voucher programs. · Affirmative Action: Do-gooders defend racial preferences at all costs, while ignoring the enormous problems they create for African Americans at all levels of achievement. · Welfare: Do-gooders thought welfare reform in the 1990s would hurt the poor, and they still refuse to admit how much it actually helped. By collecting and exposing the most outrageous quotes and actions of the do-gooders, this book will become a must-read for conservatives across the country as they gear up for the next round of policy battles.http://www.hotaudiobooks.com/items/audio-book-on-cd/do-gooders-how-liberals-hurt-those-they-claim-to-help-and-the-rest-of-us-brilliance-audio-on-compact-detail.htmhttp://www.hotaudiobooks.com/browse_item_details.asp/Item_Id/3499441/categ_id/3979War RelatedSun, 5 Jul 2009 15:52:00 PST Anita Blake is about to face the challenge of her life.

Small-town housewife Patty Dickerson, pregnant with her first child, has been waiting in bed for her husband Tommy to get home. When the call comes, its from jail. Tommy has been arrested for murder after a robbery gone awry. He doesnt make it home for 28 years. With his usual practicality, ONan kills the hope off quickly in The Good Wife. This isn/t a novel of beating the odds but of enduring them. We follow Patty through her husbands long incarceration as she moves in with family, gets a series of low-paying jobs, remains faithful to Tommy, and raises their son Casey alone. These arent unique circumstances--although they rarely form the stuff of fiction--and these arent unique, unforgettable characters. Patty Dickerson could be anyone, and thats the point. This is a story of ordinary lives and small graces.

You will never conquer, or change, what you refuse to confront. - John Hagee What women want in a man may not be what God wants them to have.

Finding the right one is like hitting stride in a long-distance race: The sooner you do it, the better the run. FACETS was FACETS from the opening shot, a natural when the book was first published in 1990 and a natural today. This is a many-sided book in several regards. Think of a gem. On one side, there is Hillary Cox, a writer; on another, Pamela St. George, a jewelry designer. On a third, there is Pamelas brother John, a mining magnate; and on a fourth, Cutter Reid, once a devil-may-care tourmaline miner, now as sophisticated as John. In setting, FACETS ranges far as well, from the glitz of New York to the elitism of Boston to the nitty-gritty of the small Maine mining town of Timiny Cove. Likewise personalities: FACETS pits the arrogant, self-centered John against the newly vengeful Hillary, the creative and sensitive Pamela, and the doggedly self-made Cutter. Spanning three decades, FACETS is as much a family drama as any Ive ever written. My writing style may have changed since 1990, but the heart and soul of my characters have not. Please enjoy FACETS as much as I did then - and do now.

A pod of whales off the coast of Alaska. The prisons of Peru and Chile. The plays of Shakespeare. A health club in Chicago. For those with eyes to see, traces of God can be found in the most unexpected places. Yet many Christians have not only missed seeing God, theyve overlooked opportunities to make him visible to those most in need of hope. In this enlightening book author Philip Yancey serves as an insightful tour guide for those willing to look beyond the obvious, pointing out glimpses of the eternal where few might think to look. Whether finding God among the newspaper headlines, within the church, or on the job, Yancey delves deeply into the commonplace and surfaces with rich spiritual insight. Finding God in Unexpected Places takes readers from Ground Zero to the Horn of Africa, and each stop along the way reveals footprints of God, touches of his truth and grace that prompt readers to search deeper within their own lives for glimpses of transcendence. http://www.hotaudiobooks.com/items/audio-book-on-cd/finding-god-in-unexpected-places-1597371157-detail.htmhttp://www.hotaudiobooks.com/browse_item_details.asp/Item_Id/3499458/categ_id/3979War RelatedSun, 5 Jul 2009 15:52:00 PST The war between the alien hydrogues and the faeros rages, reducing suns to blackened shells - including one of the fabled seven suns of the Ildiran Empire.

But the real drama is off the set, where the soap is indeed slippery. Enter Meredith Contini, the shows power-wielding diva. Meredith has two rules: Know your place and Stay in it. Kate broke both on day one, which is why she suddenly found her character switching sexual orientation. That brilliant solution came from Daphne del Valle, the shows barking-mad obsessive/compulsive producer, who drives herself and her actors to enthrall the audience. (Sell the hurt. Sell the rage. Sell the hunger. Sell the loooooove.) As gay detective Devon Merrick, Kate is a smash. The show is a hit. But Kates private life seems to be becoming something of a drama itself. Especially since everybody thinks she really is gay, which is a problem since she thinks the best cure for her real-life broken heart is to get a man into her bed. But who? Kirk, her sexy, tan, and talented leading man, is involved with Meredith. Theres Matt, the magician who makes her tea, but will her fourteen-hour days keep them from the promise of tangled sheets?

Darnton elegantly blends the power of fact and the insights of fiction to explore the many mysteries attached to the life and work of Charles Darwin. What led Darwin to the theory of evolution? Why did he wait twenty-two years to write On the Origin of Species? Why was he incapacitated by mysterious illnesses and frightened of travel? Who was his secret rival? These are some of the questions driving Darntons richly dramatic narrative, which unfolds through three vivid points of view: Darwins own as he sails around the world aboard the Beagle; his daughter Lizzies as she strives to understand the guilt and fear that struck her father at the height of his fame; and that of present-day anthropologist Hugh Kellem and Darwin scholar Beth Dulcimer, whose obsession with Darwin (and with each other) drives them beyond the accepted boundaries of scholarly research. What Hugh and Beth discover - Lizzies diaries and letters lead them to a hidden chapter of Darwins autobiography - is a maze of bitter rivalries, petty deceptions, and jealously guarded secrets, at the heart of which lies the birth of the theory of evolution. http://www.hotaudiobooks.com/items/audio-book-on-cd/darwin-conspiracy-the-1597373516-detail.htmhttp://www.hotaudiobooks.com/browse_item_details.asp/Item_Id/3499469/categ_id/3979War RelatedSun, 5 Jul 2009 15:52:00 PST There are starter jobs, starter cars, starter houses, and then there are starter wives. From the bestselling author of Maneater comes The Starter Wife, a sexy, savvy, and wickedly funny novel about life after divorce and one woman redefining herself after years of marriage to a Hollywood studio head. When her husband Kenny dumps her by cell phone mere months before their ten-year wedding anniversary, Gracie Pollock finds herself reeling. Though her nine-year role as the wife of a semifamous Hollywood studio executive often left her dry and she never fully embraced the status (according to Kenny), Gracie has grown accustomed to the unique privileges afforded by Tinseltowns brand of power and wealth: reservations at Spago on a Friday night; beauty treatments by dermatologists (Arnie), manicurists (Jessica), and colorists (Cristophe) to the stars; line-jumping at Disneyland with her daughter and Ugg-wearing celebrity offspring. And despite the fact she had consented to name their daughter Jaden in a (failed) attempt to lure Will Smith to one of Kennys productions, Gracie believed she and Kenny were different from other Hollywood couples. She never thought shed be a starter wife. But now that her marriage is over, her phone isnt ringing, her mailbox is empty, and its only through a faux pas by her world-class florist that she learns her husband has upgraded: Kenny is dating a pop tartlet. With images of Kennys tween queen everywhere she turns, Gracie seeks refuge at her best friends Malibu mansion for some much-needed divorce therapy. Soon shes associating with all the wrong people, including a mysterious hunk who saves her from drowning, the security guard at her gated community, and -- God forbid -- Kennys boss, one of Hollywoods better-known Lotharios. With her signature wit, sassy style, and cameos of the rich and famous -- and wannabe rich and famous -- Gigi Grazer tackles the most delicious and dastardly details of a divorce and recovery, Hollywood style. http://www.hotaudiobooks.com/items/audio-book-on-cd/starter-wife-the-1597376248-detail.htmhttp://www.hotaudiobooks.com/browse_item_details.asp/Item_Id/3499476/categ_id/3979War RelatedSun, 5 Jul 2009 15:52:00 PST Kevin Trudeau blows the lid off a nest of deception and double standards concerning general and individual health in this new book, Natural Cures They Dont Want You To Know About. Kevin has risked government prosecution to bring you the full story of an intricate conspiracy. From the retail supermarket outlets of huge, publicly traded corporations comes processed, manipulated, engineered food products produced by other wings of the same corporation. These artificial, toxic treats are then sold with the blessings of the Federal Trade Commission and Food and Drug Administration government organizations charged with safeguarding the public good laying the foundations for future disease and chronic ill-health for the consumer, and a guaranteed source of revenue for the medical and pharmaceutical sectors. Kevin reveals the shocking truth of how drugs which are being advertised directly to the consumer, pushing their use to an all-time high are actually the cause of illness and disease climbing to near epidemic levels. And, though it sounds dire, Kevin offers a light in the darkness and directs the reader to scores and scores of alternative therapies, medical practices, philosophies and most importantly potential cures that help your body regain its natural state of health and vibrancy. http://www.hotaudiobooks.com/items/audio-book-on-cd/natural-cures-they-don-t-want-you-to-know-about-1597771058-detail.htmhttp://www.hotaudiobooks.com/browse_item_details.asp/Item_Id/3499484/categ_id/3979War RelatedSun, 5 Jul 2009 15:52:00 PST The Story of You is the book Steve Chandler was always meant to write. In the tradition of Coveys 7 Habits and Scott Pecks Road Less Traveled, Chandlers personal growth gem transcends all categories to impact psychology, business, self-help, and contemporary social commentary. For the first time in history, readers have a definitive book on what keeps them from succeeding. Chandler breaks new ground with his startling revelations and fresh interpretations about people as diverse as: Elvis Presley, Van Gogh, Governor Bill Richardson, actor Tyrese Gibson, Dr. Andrew Weil, Hugh Hefner, Mark Twain and the biblical character Lazarus. By exposing peoples stories as the most false and limiting part of their lives, Chandler invites you into a new world of action and creative accomplishment. With humor and biting critiques, Chandler exposes peoples false ego stories for what they are and reveals the source of all success: the inner energy of will and spirit. Filled with stunningly candid dialogue from pivotal coaching sessions that Chandler has conducted (and been the subject of!), this book is the most dramatic exposure yet of how we hold ourselves back by the stories we believe and then tell.http://www.hotaudiobooks.com/items/audio-book-on-cd/the-story-of-you-and-how-to-create-a-new-one-1602830339-detail.htmhttp://www.hotaudiobooks.com/browse_item_details.asp/Item_Id/3499485/categ_id/3979War RelatedSun, 5 Jul 2009 15:52:00 PST At a café table in Lahore, a bearded Pakistani man converses with an uneasy American stranger.

The Civil War is ending. Eighteen years after the Irish famine-ship Star of the Sea docked at New York, a daughter of its journey, Eliza Duane Mooney, sets out on foot from Baton Rouge, Louisiana, crossing a ravaged continent on a quest. Eliza is searching for a young boy she has not seen in four years, one of the hundred thousand children drawn into the war. His fate has been mysterious and will prove extraordinary. It is a walk that will have consequences for many seemingly unconnected survivors: the stunning intellectual Lucia-Cruz McLelland, who deserts New York City to cast her fate with mercurial hero James Con OKeeffe - convict, revolutionary, governor of the desolate Western township of Redemption Falls; rebel guerilla Cole McLaurenson, who fuels his own gruesome Westward mission with the blind rage of an outlaw; runaway slave Elizabeth Longstreet, who turns resentment into grace in a Western wilderness where nothing is as it seems. OKeeffes career has seen astonishing highs and lows. Condemned to death in 1848 for plotting an insurrection against British rule in Ireland, his sentence was commuted to life transportation to Van Diemens Land, Tasmania. From there he escaped, abandoning a woman he loved, and was shipwrecked in the Pacific before making his way to the teeming city of New York. A spellbinding orator, he has been hailed a hero by Irish New Yorkers, refugees from the famine that has ravaged their homeland. His public appearances are thronged to the rafters and his story has brought him fame. He has married the daughter of a wealthy Manhattan family, but their marriage is haunted by a past full of secrets. The terrors of CivilWar have shaken his every belief. Now alone in the west, he yearns for new beginnings. Redemption Falls is a Dickensian tale of war and forgiveness, of strangers in a strange land, of love put to the ultimate test. Packed with music, balladry, poetry, and storytelling, this is a vivid mosaic of a vast country driven wild by war (Irish Independent), containing moments of sustained brilliance which in psychological truth and realism make Daniel Defoe look like a literary amateur (Sunday Tribune). With this riveting historical novel of urgent contemporary resonance, the author of the bestselling Star of the Sea now brings us a modern masterpiece. http://www.hotaudiobooks.com/items/audio-book-on-cd/redemption-falls-1602833052-detail.htmhttp://www.hotaudiobooks.com/browse_item_details.asp/Item_Id/3499493/categ_id/3979War RelatedSun, 5 Jul 2009 15:52:00 PST Here is the most up-to-date and complete information about pregnancy, presented in a unique week-by-week format.

Most of its soldiers were immigrant kids with no prior military experience and no intention of serving their country any longer than it took to get a paycheck or college credit. Once a respected all-Irish outfit, the 69th was now a Technicolor mix of Puerto Ricans, Dominicans, Colombians, African Americans, Russians, Poles, Koreans, Chinese, and a few token Irish Americans. Their uniforms were incomplete and their equipment was downright derelict. The thought of deploying such a unit was laughable. But that is exactly what happened. With a charismatic mix of irreverent humor and eye-opening honesty, Sean Flynn, himself a member of the 69th, memorably chronicles the transformation of this motley band of amateur soldiers into a battle- hardened troop at work in one of the most lethal quarters of Baghdad: the notorious Airport Road, a blood- soaked strand that grabbed headlines and became a bellwether for progress in postinvasion Iraq. At home on the concrete and asphalt like no other unit in the U.S. Army, Gothams Fighting 69th finally brings its own rough justice to this lawless precinct by ignoring army discipline and turning to the street-fighting tactics they grew up with and know best. The Fighting 69th is more than a story about the impact of terrorism, the war on Iraq, or the current administrations failures. It is the story of how regular citizens come to grips with challenges far starkerthan what they have been prepared for. Flynns dark humor, empathy, and candor make for a fresh look at who our soldiers are and what they do when faced with their toughest challenges. http://www.hotaudiobooks.com/items/audio-book-on-cd/the-fighting-69th-one-remarkable-national-guard-unit-s-journey-from-ground-zero-to-baghdad-160283358-detail.htmhttp://www.hotaudiobooks.com/browse_item_details.asp/Item_Id/3499498/categ_id/3979War RelatedSun, 5 Jul 2009 15:52:00 PST Have you ever dreamed of the freedom and financial success of working for yourself?

Can man live on fast food alone? Morgan Spurlock tried to do just that. For thirty days, he ate nothing but three squares a day from McDonalds as part of an investigation into the effects of fast food on American health. The resulting documentary won him resounding applause and a worldwide release that broke box-office records. Audiences were captivated by Spurlocks experiment, during which he gained twenty-five pounds, his blood pressure skyrocketed, and his libido all but disappeared. But this story goes far beyond Spurlocks good-humored Mc-Sickness. He traveled across the country-into schools, hospitals, and peoples homes -to investigate school lunch programs, the marketing of fast food, and the declining emphasis on health and physical education. He looks at why fast food is so tasty, cheap, and ultimately seductive, and what Americans can do to turn the rising tide of obesity, hypertension, and diabetes that have accompanied its ever-growing popularity. He interviewed experts in twenty U.S. cities-from surgeon generals and kids to lawmakers and marketing gurus-who share their research, opinions, and gut feelings on our ever-expanding girth and what we can all do to offset a health crisis of supersized proportions. In this groundbreaking, hilarious book, benevolent muckraker Morgan Spurlock debuts a wry investigative voice that will appeal to anyone interested in the health of our country, our children, and ourselves. http://www.hotaudiobooks.com/items/audio-book-on-cd/don-t-eat-this-book-0143057316-detail.htmhttp://www.hotaudiobooks.com/browse_item_details.asp/Item_Id/3709160/categ_id/3979War RelatedSun, 30 Aug 2009 15:53:00 PST One Great Author.

But it can also be a very damaging response, and unless we deal with it effectively, the results can be highly destructive. We may take out our feelings on people we love, we may even feel violent, or we may turn our anger in upon ourselves - feeling regret, guilt, bitterness, or apathy. Because this is an emotion we often try to hide from ourselves as well as from others, we are often not aware quite how deep our anger runs.

Men believe they understand women and vice versa, but really men know as much about women as a cocker spaniel knows about assembling a Weber grill. Welcome to The Mr. and Mrs. Happy Handbook, Steve Doocys laugh-out-loud perspective on love, marriage, and family. The book can be used for its hilarious husband and wife wisdom or, if things arent going well, as a projectile to get somebodys attention. This is not an advice book. It is a Dont Even Think of Trying This book. The author, his family, and his collection of friends (some very famous in the worlds of entertainment, business, and politics) have already discreetly made almost every conceivable marriage mistake, and it is their hope that this irreverent manual can save you the trouble of being an idiot on your own. Doocy, co-host of Fox and Friends, who has been married for twenty consecutive years, provides real slice-of-life stories on everything from early marriage (I love you, youre perfect, now wear this thong) and pregnancy (Youre eating for two? Who- you and Shaquille ONeal?) to sending your child to college (Is that a funnel?) and retirement (high-fiber appetizers on Viagra dates). Most of the stories conclude with corrections and additional wise words from Doocys real-life wife, Kathy, who, after two decades of picking up Steves socks in the garage, has developed a zany sense of humor herself. There is also a handy troubleshooting section for when things go haywire, like during the eye- opening experiment undertaken especially for this book, wherein the author wanted to prove to his wife that they were perfect for each other, so he had them join an on-line dating service. Out of a database of several hundred thousand guys, he was not in her top 532 local men. Despite the fact that their one- month experiment ended a year ago, shes still getting photographs of single men whose head shots appear to have been taken at a recent skinhead convention. Luckily for him, she still prefers bonehead to skinhead. This book is a celebration of the pageantry that is wedlock, which starts with an I do and sometimes ends with a boiled rabbit. Lets face it, marriage isnt always as smooth as a forty-year-olds forehead after six months of Botox. In fact, marriage is ridiculously hard, but laughing about it is now incredibly easy with The Mr. and Mrs. Happy Handbook. http://www.hotaudiobooks.com/items/new-arrivals/mr-mrs-happy-handbook-everything-i-know-about-love-and-marriage-0061142344-detail.htmhttp://www.hotaudiobooks.com/browse_item_details.asp/Item_Id/3709175/categ_id/3979War RelatedSun, 30 Aug 2009 15:53:00 PST Tom Peters is universally recognized as the foremost management guru of our time.

When his friend and fellow scientist is murdered, David discovers that the genius who runs Project Trinity was responsible and that his own life is in danger. Unable to reach the president, and afraid to trust his colleagues, David turns to Rachel Weiss, the psychiatrist probing the nightmares that have plagued him during his work at Trinity. Rachel is skeptical of Davids fears, but when an assassin strikes, the two doctors must flee for their lives. Pursued across the globe by ruthless National Security Agency operatives, David and Rachel struggle to piece together the truth behind Project Trinity and the enormous power it could unleash upon the world. As constant danger deepens their intimacy, Rachel realizes the key to Trinity lies buried in Davids disturbed mind. But Trinitys clock is ticking . . . Mankind is being held hostage by a machine that cannot be destroyed. Its only hope - a terrifying chess game between David and the Trinity computer, with the cities of the world as pawns. But what are the rules? How human is the machine? Can one man and woman change the course of history? Mans future hangs in the balance, and the price of failure is extinction. http://www.hotaudiobooks.com/items/audio-book-on-cd/the-footprints-of-god-1423319427-detail.htmhttp://www.hotaudiobooks.com/browse_item_details.asp/Item_Id/3709179/categ_id/3979War RelatedSun, 30 Aug 2009 15:53:00 PST Hard is good, harder is better - for your health, your libido, your life.

Most people believe that sags, bags, and wrinkles -- on the face and body -- are inevitable. Many people choose to temporarily circumvent these signs of aging with surgery, chemical peels, Botox injections, or laser treatments. The good news, according to research scientist and practicing dermatologist Nicholas Perricone, M.D., is that by following a simple program of diet, exercise, and skin care you can prevent and even reverse many signs of aging. The Perricone Prescription clearly and succinctly explains the rock-solid laboratory research behind Dr. Perricones revolutionary theories, revealing that inflammation at the cellular level, precipitated by poor nutrition, pollution, sunlight, irritating skin-care treatments, and stress, is the single most powerful cause of the signs of aging. Dr. Perricone gives you the knowledge and the tools to fight that inflammation from the inside out, while at the same time decreasing the likelihood of heart disease, cancer, diabetes, arthritis, and a host of other degenerative diseases. Packed with more than fifty startling before-and-after photos, detailed exercise illustrations, the latest research, and case studies from Dr. Perricones thriving private practice, The Perricone Prescription is a lifelong anti-aging program that will benefit your entire body -- and change your life! http://www.hotaudiobooks.com/items/audio-book-on-cd/perricone-prescription-a-physician-s-28-day-program-for-total-body-and-face-rejuvenation-0060513667-detail.htmhttp://www.hotaudiobooks.com/browse_item_details.asp/Item_Id/3709184/categ_id/3979War RelatedSun, 30 Aug 2009 15:53:00 PST From the author of the national bestseller Its Okay to Miss the Bed on the First Jump, more woofs of wisdom-this time, straight from the dogs mouth In his first book, John OHurley wrote of the many life lessons hed learned from dogs-lessons that carried him from the New England woods of his childhood to his life today as an award-winning actor, composer, and writer amid the bright lights of Hollywood. Now, in Before Your Dog Can Eat Your Homework, First You Have to Do It, OHurley once again finds himself seeking the wisdom of a canine companion. After years of parenting pets, last December, he became a father to his first child, William. Along with the many new joys of being a dad, John faced a new set of challenges-and it was Scoshi, his wizened white Maltese and faithful confidante for nearly two decades, who, at every turn, pointed the way. This time, however-much to Johns surprise-Scoshi put his wisdom in writing. Eight weeks after William was born, John began finding curious scribblings on small scraps of paper, hidden under the Big Blue Elephant that sits in the corner of his sons room. Dear Little Pink Thing, the first note read, Who are you? From there, the content of the notes grew richer-and from their simple substance, the author became clear to John. These were not random notes. They were Scoshis life lessons for father and son-a wise old dog sharing truths he had learned over the years. In these pages, OHurley reveals and reflects on Scoshis insights: During the many fishing trips they took together, Scoshi learned the importance of quality time spent with loved ones. Through the unfortunateexperience of getting waylaid by a skunk, Scoshi learned that lifes not always fair-but that there are ways to make the best of it, and that you are not your circumstances. Scoshi also sets the record straight that dogs do not eat homework; they only eat homework that was never done-reminding William that it is important to take responsibility for his actions, to live life authentically (and with a sense of humor), and to have the courage of his convictions. At once poignant, profound, and laugh-out-loud funny, Before Your Dog Can Eat Your Homework, First You Have to Do It is a one-of-a-kind celebration of the joys of parenting pets and children alike, and further testament to the enduring wisdom of mans best friend. http://www.hotaudiobooks.com/items/new-arrivals/before-your-dog-can-eat-your-homework-first-you-have-to-do-it-life-lessons-from-a-wise-old-dog-to-a-detail.htmhttp://www.hotaudiobooks.com/browse_item_details.asp/Item_Id/4058674/categ_id/3979War RelatedSat, 3 Oct 2009 19:01:00 PST New York Times-bestselling author Stuart Woods returns with the sequel to The Prince of Beverly Hills-a page-turning novel of murder, political intrigue, and betrayal set in 1940s Hollywood, the era of the Red Scare, when almost anyone could be a suspect.

Free Lunch provides answers to this great economic mystery of our time, revealing how todays government policies and spending reach deep into the wallets of the many for the benefit of the wealthy few. Johnston cuts through the official version of events and shows how, under the guise of deregulation, a whole new set of regulations quietly went into effect-regulations that thwart competition, depress wages, and reward misconduct. From how George W. Bush got rich off a tax increase to a $100 million taxpayer gift to Warren Buffett, Johnston puts a face on all of the dirty little tricks that business and government pull. A lot of people appear to be getting free lunches-but of course theres no such thing as a free lunch, and someone (you, the taxpayer) is picking up the bill. Johnstons many revelations include: How we ended up with the most expensive yet inefficient health-care system in the world How homeowners title insurance became a costly, deceitful, yet almost invisible oligopoly How our government gives hidden subsidies for posh golf courses How Paris Hiltons grandfather schemed to retake the family fortune from a charity for poor children How the Yankees and Mets owners will collect more than $1.3 billion in public funds In these instances and many more, Free Lunch shows how the lobbyists and lawyers representing the most powerful 0.1 percent of Americans manipulated our government at the expense of the other 99.9 percent. With his extraordinary reporting, vivid stories, and sharp analysis, Johnston reveals the forces that shape our everyday economic lives-and shows us how we can finally make things betterhttp://www.hotaudiobooks.com/items/new-arrivals/free-lunch-how-the-wealthiest-americans-enrich-themselves-at-government-expense-and-stick-you-with-t-detail.htmhttp://www.hotaudiobooks.com/browse_item_details.asp/Item_Id/4058764/categ_id/3979War RelatedSun, 4 Oct 2009 09:55:00 PST God has a master plan for our lives.

Breslin comes from the same Queens streets as mob bosses John Gotti and Vito Genovese. But even they couldnt match Kaplan in crime-and neither could anybody else. In his inimitable New York voice, Breslin, the citys steadiest and most accurate chronicler (Tom Robbins, Village Voice), gives us a look through the keyhole at the people and places that define the mafia-characters like Sammy The Bull Gravano, Gaspipe Casso (named for his weapon of choice), Thomas Three-Finger Brown Lucchese, and Jimmy The Clam Eppolito, interwoven with the good rat himself, Burt Kaplan of Bensonhurst, the star witness in the recent trial of two New York City detectives indicted for acting as hit men in eight gangland executions. Breslin takes us to the old-time hangouts like Pep McGuires, the legendary watering hole where reporters and gangsters (all hailing from the same working-class neighborhoods) rubbed elbows and traded stories; the dog-fight circles and body dumps at Ozone Park; and the back room at Midnight Roses candy store, where Murder, Inc., hired and fired. Most compelling of all, Breslin captures the moments in which the Mafia was made and broken-Breslin was there the night John Gotti celebrated his acquittal at his Ravenite Social Club on Mulberry, having bribed his way to inno­cence only to incite the wrath of the FBI, who would later crush Gotti and others with the full force of the RICO laws. As in his unforgettable novel The Gang That Couldnt Shoot Straight, Breslin brings together thesereal-life and long-forgotten Mafia stories to brilliantly create a sharp-eyed portrait of the mob as it lived and breathed, as it sounded and survived. http://www.hotaudiobooks.com/items/new-arrivals/the-good-rat-a-true-story-1602833761-detail.htmhttp://www.hotaudiobooks.com/browse_item_details.asp/Item_Id/4058766/categ_id/3979War RelatedSun, 4 Oct 2009 10:16:00 PST In The Irresistible Offer, Mark Joyner showed marketers, salespeople, and business leaders how to craft an offer that no reasonable person could refuse. But, despite its undeniable effectiveness, The Irresistible Offer is only one ingredient in Joyners recipe for consistent sales success. Now, he shares the rest of his proven selling process in The Great Formula. The Great Formula begins where The Irresistible Offer left off: with an unbeatable offer thats just waiting to be sold. This second installment takes that offer and shows you how to present it to customers, sell it, and then sell it again. The key to sales success really is that simple! Realistically, everything you need to know about selling can be summed up in three short steps--create an enticing offer, present it to the right audience, and then give them a second helping of it. If none of this sounds all that original to you, then youre already on the right track! The Great Formula works because it stresses simplicity and focuses just on those actions that get results. Its real-world, down-to-earth selling advice thats so straightforward even the smartest people often overlook it. But great businesses, whether they know it or not, use The Great Formula everyday. As proof, Joyner examines a variety of successful businesses--some you might already know about--and shows you how they used The Great Formula to great success. Joyner fully explains every aspect of the three-step process and also includes tips and tricks that will make it even more effective. He shows you how to use word of mouth to turn satisfied customers into free advertising, how to find the perfect potential buyers for your product, and how to increase your profits by selling even more product on the back end. The Great Formula is simple because, as Joyner shows, success is never complicated. Its only a matter of seeing, with clarity, which simple actions will render the desired result and then taking those actions with zeal. Regardless of what you sell, this time-tested system can be applied to any business--even yours--in any industry. http://www.hotaudiobooks.com/items/new-arrivals/the-great-formula-for-creating-maximum-profit-with-minimal-effort-159659070x-detail.htmhttp://www.hotaudiobooks.com/browse_item_details.asp/Item_Id/4058768/categ_id/3979War RelatedSun, 4 Oct 2009 10:23:00 PST Suspense doesnt burn any brighter and desire doesnt run any deeper than when Suzanne Brockmann takes the helm, opens the throttle, and takes readers along for a breathless ride as she breaks the thrill barrier-again and again. With Into the Fire, Brockmann lights the fuse on her most explosive story yet. Vinh Murphy-ex-Marine and onetime operative for the elite security firm Troubleshooters Incorporated-has been MIA ever since his wife, Angelina, was caught in a crossfire and killed during what should have been a routine bodyguard assignment. Overcome with grief, Murphy blames the neo-Nazi group known as the Freedom Network for her death. Now, years later, Freedom Network leader Tim Ebersole has been murdered-and the FBI suspects Murphy may have pulled the trigger. To prevent further bloodshed, Murphys friends at Troubleshooters scramble to find him and convince him to surrender peacefully. Murphy himself cant be sure what he did or didnt do during the years he spent mourning and lost in an alcohol-induced fog. He does know he occasionally sought solace from Hannah Whitfield, a former police officer and the very friend whod introduced him to his beloved late wife. But Hannah, still grappling with the deafness that resulted from an injury sustained while on duty, was fighting her own battles. For years Hannah had feelings for Murphy, and one painful night their suffering brought them together in a way neither expected-and both regretted. Murphy is ready to rejoin the living. As always, he finds himself knocking on Hannahs door, and as always, his longtime friend welcomes him back into her home. Yet even as Murphy slowly rebuilds his splintered life, hecontinues to fight his growing feelings for Hannah. Then he learns of Ebersoles murder and comes to believe that the Freedom Network has targeted him-and Hannah-to avenge their leaders death to violence. Now Murphy must face the terrifying prospect of losing another woman he loves. As the Troubleshooters desperately search for him, Murphy races toward a deadly confrontation with the Freedom Network and ultimate choice: surrender his life in hopes that Hannah will be spared, or risk everything to salvage whatever future they may have together.http://www.hotaudiobooks.com/items/new-arrivals/into-the-fire-troubleshooters-series-13-142334264x-detail.htmhttp://www.hotaudiobooks.com/browse_item_details.asp/Item_Id/4058770/categ_id/3979War RelatedSun, 4 Oct 2009 10:50:00 PST Mary DiNunzio is strong, smart, and shes got plenty of attitude.
