Paperback. Condizione: New. Stephen Colbert wasThe Daily Show's longest-running and most diverse correspondent. His personality, insight and general rightness led toThe Colbert Report, a half-hour TV platform for his views on the issues of the day and, more importantly, why everyone else's views are just plain wrong. InI Am America (And So Can You!)Colbert bravely takes on the forces aligned to destroy America - whether they be terrorists, environmentalists, or brand breakfast cereals - and tackles difficult issues like religion, sexuality, and nature; 'I've never trusted the sea. What's it hiding under there?' With helpful illustrations and charts including 'Things That Are Trying to Turn Me Gay' and a complete transcript of Colbert's infamous speech at the 2006 White House Correspondents' Dinner, this is a hilarious read and a very clever commentary on America today.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Our civilization as we know it is entirely dependant on cheap oil. And that civilization is about to get the shock of its life. Our systems of trade, finance, shipping and manufacturing, of labour and international relations are all going to be affected as oil supplies dwindle and prices skyrocket. Soaring energy costs are not going to get thrown into reverse; but, as a direct result, the machinery of globalization certainly will. For years Jeff Rubin has been accurately predicting how the world's dwindling oil supply will affect oil prices. Now he shares his predictions for what is going to happen next. He explains why the conventional rules of economics don't work when it comes to oil markets and shows why oil prices will continue to rise in the coming years, even as demand increases. He reveals how globalization and developing economies are accelerating depletion of oil reserves and pushing prices ever higher, and in turn shows how this will lead to a new inflation, with higher food prices and transport costs. But there is good news: as Rubin shows, skyrocketing oil prices will lead to a new kind of localised living, in which we'll reinvigorate our national manufacturing industries, embrace local food production and make positive changes in where and how we live and work.

Paperback. Condizione: Good. Her palace shimmered with onyx and gold but was richer still in political and sexual intrigue. Above all else, Cleopatra was a shrewd strategist and an ingenious negotiator. She was married twice, each time to a brother. She waged a brutal civil war against the first and poisoned the second; incest and assassination were family specialties. She had children by Julius Caesar and Mark Antony, two of the most prominent Romans of the day. With Antony she would attempt to forge a new empire, in an alliance that spelled both their ends. Famous long before she was notorious, Cleopatra has gone down in history for all the wrong reasons. Her supple personality and the drama of her circumstances have been lost. In a masterly return to the classical sources, Stacy Schiff boldly separates fact from fiction to rescue the magnetic queen whose death ushered in a new world order. 384 pages.

Paperback. Condizione: Good. There are companies that create waves and those that ride or are drowned by them. This is a ride on the Google wave, and the fullest account of how it formed and crashed into traditional media businesses. With unprecedented access to Googles founders and executives, as well as to those in media who are struggling to keep their heads above water, Ken Auletta reveals how the industry is being disrupted and redefined. Auletta goes inside Googles closed-door meetings, introducing Googles notoriously private founders, Larry Page and Sergey Brin, as well as those who work with and against them. In Googled, the reader discovers the secret sauce of the company's success and why the worlds of new and old media often communicate as if residents of different planets. It may send chills down traditionalists spines, but its a crucial roadmap to the future of media business: the Google story may well be the canary in the coal mine.Googled is candid, objective and authoritative. Crucially, its not just a history or reportage: its ahead of the curve and unlike any other Google books, which tend to have been near-histories, somewhat starstruck, now out of date or which fail to look at the full synthesis of business and technology. 400 pages.
