Aristocracy, Fortune, and the Politics of Deceit in the House of Bush

The Bushes are the family nobody really knows, says Kevin Phillips. This popular lack of acquaintance—nurtured by gauzy imagery of Maine summer cottages, gray-haired national grandmothers, July Fourth sparklers, and cowboy boots—has let national politics create a dynasticized presidency that would have horrified America's founding fathers. They, after all, had led a revolution against a succession of royal Georges. In this devastating book, onetime Republican strategist Phillips reveals how four generations of Bushes have ascended the ladder of national power since World War One, becoming entrenched within the American establishment—Yale, Wall Street, the Senate, the CIA, the vice presidency, and the presidency—through a recurrent flair for old-boy networking, national security involvement, and political deception. By uncovering relationships and connecting facts with new clarity, Phillips comes to a stunning conclusion: The Bush family has systematically used its financial and social empire—its "aristocracy"—to gain the White House, thereby subverting the very core of American democracy. In their ambition, the Bushes ultimately reinvented themselves with brilliant timing, twisting and turning from silver spoon Yankees to born-again evangelical Texans. As America—and the world—holds its breath for the 2004 presidential election, American Dynasty explains how it happened and what it all means.

The House of Sa'ud from Tradition to Terror

In this informed, compelling exploration of Moslem beliefs and of the sectarian conflicts within the community, a Jewish historian paints a sympathetic portrait of mainstream Islam and exposes the centuries-old roots of Osama bin Laden's extremism. The difficult, protracted war against terrorism has raised unsettling questions about the nature of Islam and its influence on America's declared enemies. In "The Two Faces of Islam, Stephen Schwartz, who has devoted years to the study of Islam, explains its complex history and describes the profound philosophical and religious differences that distinguish traditional beliefs from the radical sects that have sprung up over the past fifteen hundred years. He focuses on Wahhabism, the puritanical sect to which Osama bin Laden belongs. Founded in the eighteenth century by a radical cleric, this intolerant "Islamo-fascist" sect became the official creed of the Saudi Arabian state and has been exported to Moslem countries from the Balkans to the Philippines, as well as to Islamic communities in Western Europe and the United States. By setting the current upheavals within an historical and religious context, Schwartz demonstrates that Osama bin Laden and his followers are not really fighting a war against America. Rather, they are engaged in a revolution within Islam itself-a movement that parallels the turmoil within Christianity during the sixteenth century. Schwartz not only exposes the collusion of the Saudi Arabian government in the spread of radical Islam (which makes them at best reluctant allies of the West), he shows that the majority of Moslems have little sympathy for the Wahhabis and that many openly denounce theirmotivations and goals. A riveting narrative that never smacks of propaganda, "The Two Faces of Islam is essential reading for anyone who seeks to understand who we are fighting, what our enemies believe, and who our friends in the Moslem world really are.

You Can Survive and Prosper in a Deflactionary Depression

What if certain Japanese investors in 1989 had a book that prepared them for the economic DEFLATION and 12-year bear market? Likewise, what if certain American investors in 1929 had a book that prepared them for the stock market CRASH and Great Depression? They would have used the forecast to avoid the crisis, of course -- perhaps even to come out ahead. Robert Prechter has just published a book that will prepare YOU for a financial crisis at least as deep as Japan in the 1990s or the U.S. in the 1930s -- a deflationary depression that will wipe out the portfolios of most stock market investors. Conquer the Crash first presents the economic facts that show why a massive deflation is virtually inevitable, and is underway already. The second part is practical -- virtually each of the 21 chapter titles explains "How To," "What To," and "Should You." Learn for yourself why the most predictable episode in our financial future is the event no one expects "Bob Prechter's new book, Conquer the Crash, provides a wealth of self help do's and don'ts. It's a must-read book which I'm personally putting on my gift list for friends and loved ones." - Martin D Weiss, Ph.D., author of the national best seller, the Ultimate Safe Money Guide "This is the most crucial financial period in your life. This book explains why. It also tells you what you should do about it. If you want to preserve your wealth, I urge you to follow Prechter's advice. You will be grateful that you did." - Ian Gordon, The Long Wave Analyst "Conquer the Crash provides disciplined investors with a map, compass and survival guide. Don't leave home without it." -Henry Van der Eb, President, Gabelli Mathers Fund "Prechter knows the facts like few others. Read his forceful argument carefully. It can save you from financial loss." -James R. Cook, President, Investment Rarities "Conquer the Crash ensures that at least some investors will stay on the "rational" side of a very emotional future." -Ted Workman, Asset Allocation Consultants, Ltd.

An Illustrated Guide to 484 Essential Tips, Techniques, and Tricks

From America's favorite cooking teacher, multiple award-winner James Peterson, an invaluable reference handbook.

Culinary students everywhere rely on the comprehensive and authoritative cookbooks published by chef, instructor, and award-winning author Jim Peterson. And now, for the first time, this guru-to-the-professionals turns his prodigious knowledge into a practical, chockablock, quick-reference, A-to-Z answer book for the rest of us.

Look elsewhere for how to bone skate or trim out a saddle of lamb, how to sauté sweetbreads or flambé dessert. Look here instead for how to zest a lemon, make the perfect hamburger, bread a chicken breast, make (truly hot) coffee in a French press, make magic with a Microplane. It's all here: how to season a castiron pan, bake a perfect pie, keep shells from sticking to hardcooked eggs. How to carve a turkey, roast a chicken, and chop, slice, beat, broil, braise, or boil any ingredient you're likely to encounter. Information on seasoning, saucing, and determining doneness (by internal temperatures, timings, touch, and sight) guarantee that you've eaten your last bland and overcooked meal.

Here are 500 invaluable techniques with nearly as many color photographs, bundled into a handy, accessible format.
