Book Description
An executive secretary in dark blue business attire and short colored blond hair, sitting behind her office desk, quickly checked her desk top office security screen to see who is outside. She then pushed a button under her desk which unlocked the office door and said: “Come in please” After the man entered the office, its door closed and locked automatically. The man said with a business like American accent: “Good morning Camellia – The boss is expecting me” The executive secretary replied: “I know - Nice to see you Mr. Zorin” She then informed her boss through her office intercom: “Mr. Zorin is here to see you Sir” Her boss, a man in a stripped brown suite, sitting behind an elaborate walnut desk in a modern, secured and sound proof office environments checked his security screen to make sure who is behind his office door, clicked on a strategically located remote door unlock device to his office and replied with a deep and authoritative voice: “Please let him in” Camellia replied: “OK Sir” She then asked Mr. Zorin: “Please, proceed” Zorin thanked Camellia, opened a heavy dark cherry door accessing the boss’s office and entered. This door also closed and locked automatically. Zorin had a rough stone cold face with piercing black eyes and a mild smile. He had about two inches long healed gush above his right eyebrow which seemed to be caused by brushing of a bullet. Upon entry, he said: “Good morning boss” The boss replied: “Good morning Joe – Nice to see you back” He then pointed with his left hand to an armchair opposite his desk and said: “Please, take a seat” Joe Zorin sat and replied: “Thank you, nice to see you too boss” The boss asked: “How you are and what’s up?” Joe Zorin replied: “I am fine thanks – I brought the report you requested” He then opened his briefcase, took out a somewhat thick report, forwarded it to his boss and said: “It’s all there with maps, photos and what not” The boss quickly fanned looking over the report, placed it at a corner of his desk and reiterated: “Thanks Joe; I’ll look at it closely later - In the meantime, we have a more pressing top secret project for you on the Iranian nuclear venture”

Book Description
It's the story "They" don't want you to read. Though, to be fair, "They" are probably right about this one. To quote the Bible, "Learning the truth can be like loosening a necktie, only to realize it was the only thing keeping your head attached." No, don't put the book back on the shelf -- it is now your duty to purchase it to prevent others from reading it. Yes, it works with e-books, too, I don't have time to explain how. While investigating a fairly straightforward case of a shape-shifting interdimensional child predator, Dave, John and Amy realized there might actually be something weird going on. Together, they navigate a diabolically convoluted maze of illusions, lies, and their own incompetence in an attempt to uncover a terrible truth they -- like you -- would be better off not knowing. Your first impulse will be to think that a story this gruesome -- and, to be frank, stupid -- cannot possibly be true. That is precisely the reaction "They" are hoping for. John Dies at the End's "smart take on fear manages to tap into readers' existential dread on one page, then have them laughing the next" (Publishers Weekly) and This Book is Full of Spiders was "unlike any other book of the genre" (Washington Post). Now, New York Times bestselling author David Wong is back with What the Hell Did I Just Read, the third installment of this black-humored thriller series.

Book Description
Our current government is failing us - the poor most dramatically. Global market forces of information and capital are destroying the old top-down politics. If present trends are allowed to continue, America will stumble into a grim Cyber Future of community breakdown and spiraling inequality - a real-life nightmare reminiscent of the fiction of William Gibson. But James Pinkerton offers hope that we can yet create a prosperous, tolerant, and compassionate society for the next century. Radically streamlined government must be part of the answer, but such transformation must be balanced by a new paradigm of choice, empowerment, inclusiveness, and decentralization that leads to a new spirit of communitarian healing at the grassroots. Pinkerton brings his practical experience in electoral politics to a sharp yet constructive critique of both parties. He warns the rampaging Republicans against culture-war jihads, but he counsels Democrats that they are doomed if they can't break their Faustian bargain with bureaucracy. And if both parties fail, he adds, some new third-party political configuration is inevitable. On the eve of the 1996 elections, no book could be more timely than What Comes Next.

Book Description
This book explores the thought of Jacques Derrida as it relates to the tradition of apophatic thought--negative theology and philosophy--in both Western and Eastern traditions. Following the Introduction by Toby Foshay, two of Derrida's essays on negative theology, Of an Apocalyptic Tone Newly Adopted in Philosophy and How to Avoid Speaking: Denials, are reprinted here. These are followed by essays from a Western perspective by Mark C. Taylor and Michel Despland, and essays from an Eastern perspective by David Loy, a Buddhist, and Harold Coward, a Hindu. In the Conclusion, Jacques Derrida responds to these discussions.

Book Description
"Part treatise, part memoir, part call to action, Tell Me How It Ends inspires not through a stiff stance of authority, but with the curiosity and humility Luiselli has long since established." —Annalia Luna, Brazos Bookstore "Valeria Luiselli's extended essay on her volunteer work translating for child immigrants confronts with compassion and honesty the problem of the North American refugee crisis. It's a rare thing: a book everyone should read." —Stephen Sparks, Point Reyes Books "Tell Me How It Ends evokes empathy as it educates. It is a vital contribution to the body of post-Trump work being published in early 2017." —Katharine Solheim, Unabridged Books "While this essay is brilliant for exactly what it depicts, it helps open larger questions, which we're ever more on the precipice of now, of where all of this will go, how all of this might end. Is this a story, or is this beyond a story? Valeria Luiselli is one of those brave and eloquent enough to help us see." —Rick Simonson, Elliott Bay Book Company "Appealing to the language of the United States' fraught immigration policy, Luiselli exposes the cracks in this foundation. Herself an immigrant, she highlights the human cost of its brokenness, as well as the hope that it (rather than walls) might be rebuilt." —Brad Johnson, Diesel Bookstore "The bureaucratic labyrinth of immigration, the dangers of searching for a better life, all of this and more is contained in this brief and profound work. Tell Me How It Ends is not just relevant, it's essential." —Mark Haber, Brazos Bookstore "Humane yet often horrifying, Tell Me How It Ends offers a compelling, intimate look at a continuing crisis—and its ongoing cost in an age of increasing urgency." —Jeremy Garber, Powell's Books
