Five centuries from now, on a remarkably Earthlike planet that is mankind's sole colony in space, religious fanatics called the "Salafi Ikhwan" have murdered the uncle of former colonel Patrick Hennessey.

From the pile of rubble and the pillar of fire that mark the last resting pla...

Our Nation Unhinged
Jose Padilla short-shackled and wearing blackened goggles and earmuffs to block out all light and sound on his way to the dentist. Fifteen-year-old Omar Khadr crying out to an American soldier, "Kill me!" Hunger strikers at Guantánamo being restrained and force-fed through tubes up their nostrils. John Walker Lindh lying naked and blindfolded in a metal container, bound by his hands and feet, in the freezing Afghan winter night. This is the story of the Bush administration's response to the attacks of September 11, 2001—and of how we have been led down a path of executive abuses, human tragedies, abandonment of the Constitution, and the erosion of due process and liberty. In this vitally important book, Peter Jan Honigsberg chronicles the black hole of the American judicial system from 2001 to the present, providing an incisive analysis of exactly what we have lost over the past seven years and where we are now headed.

As of 2007, this tiny sheikdom was being flooded with cash as the magnitude of its gas and oil resources became known. Foreigners, from American executives to servants and laborers from Third World countries, were enticed to take exciting new job opportunities ahdn help build and diversity the Qatari economy. However, under Qatari labor law, "foreign workers" are for all practical purposes owned by their Qatari sponsors in a system akin to slavery, and even to leave the country, an exit permit is needed. All foreign busines...
Summary of Daniel Levin's Proof of Life
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 I had received an email from Huby asking me to meet him in Paris on a life and death matter. He had never exhibited any melodramatic tendencies, so I was both worried and intrigued. I decided to enjoy the dinner while it lasted. #2 I had never told Huby about my work with a European foundation and select individuals in Syria, code-named Project Bistar, toward a negotiated settlement and the identification and preparation of young, promising Syrians for future leadership roles. #3 I was approached two weeks ago by a close friend who told me that his son had gone missing in Syria. His son had gone missing in Syria, and it was considered an accomplishment just to obtain reliable information on the fate or location of a missing person. #4 I had become suspicious of people who threw my questions back at me instead of answering them. Too often, it was an attempt to stall for time in order to concoct some fabrication or find an inconspicuous way to hide real intentions.
From Black Gold to Frozen Gas
Today, Qatar is among the world’s wealthiest countries. Its rich hydrocarbon resources have transformed this small Gulf state into an energy powerhouse, funded its outsized global ambitions, and allowed it to forge an identity separate from those of its large and powerful neighbors.

It follows the twists and turns of Qatar’s road to riches, from the first interest by British and American oil companies in the 1920s to the decades it took to develop the North fiel...
