Download or read book Apple written by Jim Carlton and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 1998-10-21 with total page 482 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Apple Computer was once a shining example of the American success story. Having launched the personal computer revolution in 1977 with the first all-purpose desktop PC, Apple became the darling of the national business press and Wall Street. Yet by 1995, the company's change-the-world idealism had all but disappeared in a bitter internal struggle between warring camps. Raging internal mistakes, petty infighting, and gross mismanagement became Apple's hallmark, and today the company clings to a mere 3.7 percent share of the market it helped to create. Apple is the spellbinding account of what really went on behind closed doors, revealing the forces that dismantled this once great icon of American business.

Book Synopsis Siam Becomes Thailand by : Judith A. Stowe
Download or read book Siam Becomes Thailand written by Judith A. Stowe and published by C. Hurst & Co. Publishers. This book was released on 1991 with total page 426 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the end of the absolute monarchy in Siam in 1932, the country has seemed to lurch from one military coup to another despite the democratic ideals proclaimed by the men who established the first constitutional government. Just how the military came to play such a dominant role in Thai politics is the main theme of this book. But it also looks at the nebulous period during World war II when Thailand fought a little-known war against the French in Indo-China and then aligned itself with Japan, declaring war on Britain and the United States.
Book Synopsis The Intrigue of the Possible by : Robert A. Mayer
Download or read book The Intrigue of the Possible written by Robert A. Mayer and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2007-07 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Non-fiction with more Intrigue than the DaVinci code? If you still have a few questions left on some common subjects like: - Why am I here? - What happens when I die? - How are things, Really ? you likely will find parts of this book to be extremely intriguing. The author is in a search to find reasonable answers (as in "No B.S." and "No baloney") to these questions, and provides information about 13 extremely unusual but credible contemporary individuals, all alive within the last 70 years. These individuals, through their mind-stretching talents, abilities, work, and life experiences, provide stunning examples of the possibilities for each of us. Can you name: - The "Sleeping Prophet"? - The sculptor/ice-skater whose inner visions are directly responsible for the beginning of the Atomic Age? - The individual who worked with the CIA to produce "out-of-body" espionage? - The woman who died three times in 1977 and now is a well-known expert on Near-Death experiences and the wisdom they can produce? - The physicist who now explores mind-stretching events at the outer edges between Science and beyond-science? - The multiple-life-continuous-memory individual who the Taos Indians in the U.S. knew as a Kachina or "spirit being", who now offers fascinating seminars around the world on 'how are things, really?' Their common thread is their connection, evidenced through their personal life experiences, to the greater unseen universe beyond our every-day senses. These individuals vary greatly in the gifts, talents, information, and insights they exhibit and offer. Since "proofs" of the information offered by these individuals are frequently not available, the author can only offer the Intrigue of the Possible which he believes they represent. If you are ready to start a personal inquiry, this book offers many options. I wish you success in your search.

Download or read book Medieval Intrigue written by Ian Mortimer and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2010-09-16 with total page 394 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this important new work Ian Mortimer examines some of the most controversial questions in medieval history, including whether Edward II was murdered, his possible later life in Italy, the weakness of the Lancastrian claim to the throne in 1399 and the origins of the idea of the royal pretender. Central to this book is his ground-breaking approach to medieval evidence. He explains how an information-based method allows a more certain reading of a series of texts. He criticises existing modes of arriving at consensus and outlines a process of historical analysis that ultimately leads to questioning historical doubts as well as historical facts, with profound implications for what we can say about the past with certainty. This is an important work from one of the most original and popular medieval historians writing today.
Book Synopsis The Silicon Jungle by : Shumeet Baluja
Download or read book The Silicon Jungle written by Shumeet Baluja and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2015-08-25 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A suspenseful story about the dangers of unknowingly revealing our most intimate thoughts and actions online What happens when a naive intern is granted unfettered access to people's most private thoughts and actions? Stephen Thorpe lands a coveted internship at Ubatoo, an Internet empire that provides its users with popular online services, from a search engine and e-mail, to social networking. When Stephen’s boss asks him to work on a project with the American Coalition for Civil Liberties, Stephen innocently obliges, believing he is mining Ubatoo’s vast databases to protect people unfairly targeted in the name of national security. But nothing is as it seems. Suspicious individuals surface, doing all they can to access Ubatoo’s wealth of confidential information. This need not require technical wizardry—simply knowing how to manipulate a well-intentioned intern may be enough. The Silicon Jungle is a cautionary fictional tale of data mining’s promise and peril. Baluja raises ethical questions about contemporary technological innovations, and how minute details can be routinely pieced together into rich profiles that reveal our habits, goals, and secret desires—all ready to be exploited.

Download or read book Cork Wars written by David A. Taylor and published by Johns Hopkins University Press. This book was released on 2018-12-14 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The surprising story of cork and its critical role in US security and the war effort. Winner of the IPPY Book Award History (World), Silver of the Independent Publisher In 1940, with German U-boats blockading all commerce across the Atlantic Ocean, a fireball at the Crown Cork and Seal factory lit the sky over Baltimore. The newspapers said that you could see its glow as far north as Philadelphia and as far south as Annapolis. Rumors of Nazi sabotage led to an FBI investigation and pulled an entire industry into the machinery of national security as America stood on the brink of war. In Cork Wars, David A. Taylor traces this fascinating story through the lives of three men and their families, who were all drawn into this dangerous intersection of enterprise and espionage. At the heart of this tale is self-made mogul Charles McManus, son of Irish immigrants, who grew up on Baltimore’s rough streets. McManus ran Crown Cork and Seal, a company that manufactured everything from bottle caps to oil-tight gaskets for fighter planes. Frank DiCara, as a young teenager growing up in Highlandtown, watched from his bedroom window as the fire blazed at the factory. Just a few years later, under pressure to support his family after the death of his father, DiCara quit school and got a job at Crown. Meanwhile, Melchor Marsa, Catalan by birth, managed Crown Cork and Seal’s plants in Spain and Portugal—and was perfectly placed to be recruited as a spy. McManus, DiCara, and Marsa were connected by the unique properties of a seemingly innocuous substance. Cork, unrivaled as a sealant and insulator, was used in gaskets, bomber insulation, and ammunition, making it crucial to the war effort. From secret missions in North Africa to 4-H clubs growing seedlings in America to secret intelligence agents working undercover in the industry, this book examines cork’s surprising wartime significance. Drawing on in-depth interviews with surviving family members, personal collections, and recently declassified government records, Taylor weaves this by turns beautiful, dark, and outrageous narrative with the drama of a thriller. From the factory floor to the corner office, Cork Wars reflects shifts in our ideas of modernity, the environment, and the materials and norms of American life. World War II buffs—and anyone interested in a good yarn—will be gripped by this bold and frightening tale of a forgotten episode of American history.
