Stephen M. Younger
The Bomb: A New History

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: From his years at Los Alamos and the Nevada Test Site to his meetings with nuclear arms experts in Moscow, former weapons designer Stephen M. Younger has witnessed firsthand the making of nuclear policy. With a deep understanding of both the technology and the politics behind nuclear weapons, he guides us from the Manhattan Project to the Cold War and into the present day, illuminating how nuclear weapons fit into our globalized, war-plagued world. Does the United States genuinely need a massive stockpile in an era of precision bombs and missile defense? Under what circumstances might we need nuclear weapons in the future? How does the proliferation of weapons in the hands of other nations affect our own nuclear policy? With startling clarity, Younger reveals how weapons work, the myths and realities of what happens after a nuclear explosion, and how our nuclear policy evolved to what it is today. The Bomb is a compelling call to debate, and to action, that no one can afford to… [detailed...]

The Bombardier Story: Planes, Trains, and Snowmobiles

Publisher: —
Description: `Bombardier was under attach again. This time, the flack was coming from the president of Berlin-based Adtranz, the rail equipment subsidiary of DaimlerChrysler AG. In 1999, he traveled to Toronto and made a speech in which he warned that Adtranz was coming to challenge Montreal-based Bombardier on its home turf of North America. His motive was retaliation: he did not like Bombardier`s invasion of Adtranz`s European markets. So he was going to put the upstart from the hinterlands in its place. `The majorplayer in the United States of the future will be, I believe, Adtranz,` he predicted. `In the spring of 2001, Bombardier acquired Adtranz. The purchase more than doubled annual revenues at Bombardier`s rail equipment division and catapulted Bombardier into the number one spot in the railway equipment industry, ahead of the rail divisions of Franco-British conglomerate Alstom and German industrial giant Siemans. `What made Bombardier`s progression in rail equipment all the more… [detailed...]

The Bombast Transcripts: Rants and Screeds of RageBoy®

2003 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Amazon.comWith The Bombast Transcripts , Christopher Locke (a.k.a. RageBoy, that iconoclastic cybervoice of dissonance, disdain, and all things provocative) is leaping from your screen to your bookshelf. Look out. The scathing rants from the creator of Entropy Gradient Reversals --probably the most wittily outrageous, cryptically observant, and eagerly puzzled-over Web zine ever to pollute the airwaves--are explosive. As a tag, screed is only partly accurate for the contents of this volatile collection, they`re long harangues, all right, but by no means monotonous. Listen in as Locke lets his alter ego loose in friendly chat with IBM`s Lou Gerstner (well, actually an exit interview with Lew Firstner, pompous and clueless chairman of the 666 Corporation). As he not-so-clearly illustrates what `getting it` means (by pondering T.S. Kuhn, voodoo ceremonies, and a sacred space you can`t enter with your mind on, let alone your shoes). And as he gleefully admits that… [detailed...]

Description: This newest collection of poems from Tomaz Salamun is exuberant, ambitious, and full of surprises. Here the devil is encountered and understood- I see the devil`s head, people, I see his whole body . . . he longs for innocence, as we do. Here the poet juggles many tones, languages, and countries. Desire is evoked as both frustrating and exhilarating- I`m watered by longing, knocking my head into the wall, on the ground, or I burn, burn, folded up on the couch. And memory comes back to remind us of the laws and experiences of childhood- Once again you are let loose in the sea only after five o`clock in the afternoon to take a dose of sunlight like the ticking of the clock. At once daring and clear-voiced, The Book for My Brother is an extraordinary achievement. [detailed...]
