Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Be careful about the advice you give: someone just might take it. On a two-hour airplane flight, road warrior Hal Dormund, half-delirious from jet-lag and meetings in eight countries, gave a rambling monologue of advice to a teary-eyed teenager - she would turn out to be a runaway -- who had sat down beside him. 'Find what you like best and work like hell at it,' he said. It is now seven years later, and she has finally found him to thank him and say that she took his advice to heart. All of it: to Hal's amazement, Mary Ann recites whole passages of his monologue word for word. What Mary Ann liked best was dance, and from the moment she got off the airplane, that is all she has done: train and train and train. And it has paid off: she is now the star of a Broadway dance production. It debuts just weeks after her reunion with Hal, and love and success embrace her for the first time in her life. And what a strange life. Having dedicated herself to dance, she is utterly innocent, knows nothing of the world, can scarcely distinguish between an ocean and a lake. Until she joined the dance company, nobody has ever treated her as more than a hired hand. Her family of Arkansas farmers didn't even search for her when she ran away. Until now. Now she is an PR embarrassment to her father, a TV preacher whose ministry is about to go national. And she is the leverage that a vile CEO is using in order to get out of paying Hal's company for a completed contract. 'You want to get cooperation ' he tells Hal. 'Don't put your prisoner on the rack. Put his mother or his brother - or his girl.' But the central figure, shining amidst the circling black clouds of ambition, greed and jealousy, is Mary Ann: beautiful, robust, joyful, loving - in a word, magnificent. She is a jewel that the reader, like Hal, will never stop turning one way and another, delighting in every facet.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Mockery is a political whodunit: who arranged the two scandals that sank the two major-party presidential candidates and swung victory to the Independent candidate Sam Walker, a young history-book writer conned into covering the election by his editors, receives an anonymous post-election note: two campaign staffers from different parties colluded to bring about the scandals. He investigates, and the incredible truth pops out: that the scandals were triggered by an innocent mix-up of video tapes. A presidential election, it seems, can be lost as easily as a wallet. Alone with his scoop, Sam writes his how-the-election-was-won book, selling millions of copies -- then discovers that his story was all wrong: much more sinister forces were actually at work. Meanwhile, beautiful Laura Prestini, the campaign worker most responsible for the mix-up, has evolved from national laughingstock into A-list icon! Sam attempts to rewrite history -- but will anyone listen Poignant, comic, and tragic, its plot turning on one clue after another, Mockery describes the elastic condition of truth in a world where media companies control the public narrative, and the Internet, by its free-for-all nature, can churn truth and falsehood into the same stew. …

After centuries of oppression, the workers are on strike against their banana plantation masters. If Ecuador, the largest banana exporter in the world and the bargain basement of the industry, raises its prices, so will the others. Remarkably, Jay Streets, American pro-football star, is called on to arbitrate and set a final wage for the workers. Having no interest in the matter, he is expected to be impartial The U.S. government, however, with U.S. consumers in mind, would rather that Streets be partial.It has ordered the embassy's CIA chief to ensure it. Set against the emerald majesty of the Andes, City on the Ledge witnesses the machinations of politicians, spies, diplomats and lovers as they strive to pull off a revolution - or kill it before it can bloom.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Did drug-trafficker Marcus Strenk die trying to escape from Minnesota's maximum-security underground prison during a blizzard Or did he actually escape Or is his disappearance the finishing touch of a smart FBI intel op against the top Mexican drug cartel After all, why else would the Bureau spike the U.S. Marshals' investigation But if they did, why did Strenk send a cheery postcard to piss off the prison guards And why did the Bureau jump on the manhunt Or was that just for appearances Here are some hints: Strenk knows nothing of the op, the FBI knows nothing of Strenk's whereabouts, and the U.S. deputy marshal on the case only discovers the truth when he steps through the looking glass of Bureau espionage, where he finds an absurd moral landscape twisted and blurred by the crisis economics and politics that are re-shaping America today.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - This book asks: what is Bitcoin Why should we care Sometimes the biggest challenge an innovative technology faces is a simple understanding by people of its potential. The more advanced and complex our technology becomes, the more difficult it is to explain. This does not reduce its usefulness, just slows its adoption. The author draws on his experiences in a variety of business sectors and as an instructor and lecturer to outline the three essential creations at the heart of Bitcoin and explain why they matter to everyone. These three components, an autonomous network, a finite supply, and an immutable ledger are each new tools that humans have never used before, especially not in such a productive combination. Keeping to a top-level view, Why Bitcoin seeks to demonstrate to the thoughtful reader that, like automobiles or computers, understanding this technology will become essential knowledge for all, rather than the fad some make it out to be. …

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Did drug-trafficker Marcus Strenk escape from Minnesota's maximum-security prison during a blizzard-or die trying Deputy Marshal Henry Scott thinks, rightly, that Strenk actually found a way past all the most modern security devices known to man and made it to freedom.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - The U.S. justice system became notorious for the brutally long sentences handed out to peaceful marijuana smugglers and dealers in the later decades of the twentieth century. Meanwhile, the general public remains fascinated by the adventurers and entrepreneurs who gambled with their freedom and lives in pursuit of wealth or excitement but never entered the world of violence that is associated with much criminal activity. Probably no group among them are more foolish and attractive than the men who flew oceans and mountains in often unreliable machines.Flying High contributes significantly to the smuggling genre in two respects. First, Billy Dekle wrote his account of just three years in his frenetic and fearless career at the very start of his life sentence. The result is something exquisitely detailed, its adventures recounted as they were lived - from moment to moment. Second, his wife Kay Dekle, who could not hope to be with her husband again, parallels Billy's account with her own: with few resources she would have to carry the responsibilities of a family life as best she could. A strong woman by nature, bound by loyalty to those she loved.Fear, excitement, love, loyalty, heart-stopping risk, laughter, sex, betrayal, and death. The Dekles paid a steep price for Billy's choices and this story is the harvest they reaped.…
