Secret Team The CIA & it's Allies in Control of the United States and the World

Secret Team The CIA & it's Allies in Control of the United States and the World
Ballantine | 1900-01-01 00:00:00 | Ballantine | 0 | History
The Secret Team, L. Fletcher Prouty's CIA expose, was first published in the 1970s, but virtually all copies of the book disappeared upon distribution, purchased en masse by shady "private buyers." Certainly Prouty's amazing allegations—that the U-2 Crisis of 1960 was fixed to sabotage Eisenhower_Khrushchev talks, and that President Kennedy was assassinated to keep the U.S., and its defense budget, in Vietnam—cannot have pleased the CIA. Though suppressed (until now), The Secret Team was an important influence for Oliver Stone's Academy Award-winning film JFK and countless other works on U.S. government conspiracies, and it raises the same crucial question today that it did on its first appearance: who, in fact, is in control of the United States and the world? --This text refers to the Paperback edition

It is also appropriate for practitioners in microprocessor system design who are looking for simplified explanations and clear examples on the subject. Additionally, the accompanying CD-ROM, which contains step-by-step procedures for installing and using Ide 68k21 (68000/68020) and MASM32 / Olly Debugger (Pentium) software, provides valuable simulation results via screen shots.

Star Island

Star Island
Carl Hiaasen | 2010-01-01 00:00:00 | Knopf | 352 | Fiction Other
I think the primary criticism that some readers might have with "Star Island" is its lack of a real heart none of the characters proves to be an identifiable protagonist. Cherry's double Ann is positioned as the piece's true hero (many characters instantly love and/or admire her), but her sarcasm isn't particularly heart-warming and she's riding the same opportunistic train that every one else is. Don't get me wrong, I liked Ann fine I just don't think she served exactly the role Hiaasen set her up for. To be fair, "Star Island" is no "up-with-people" feel good hit, though. It is the grotesque underbelly of stardom and the parasites that feed off of it. And that works for me--I like that sort of thing! I plowed through "Star Island"--it is good and dirty fun!

As far as going to Malaysia is concerned, I'm an armchair traveler. I've been to many countries but never here. I checked this out just out of interest.

Covering areas like Sabah, Jakarta, Kota Kinabalu, Tutong, and others, the book seems to be a pretty handy guide if you're going there. The book tells how t oget to these places, even shopping and location of toilets. There is a chapter on history and one on customs. How to get around, the National Park, shopping, hotels and where to eat, it's here. There are plenty of maps in the text, a few color photos in the front.

Borneo is the third biggest island in the world. Diverse in flora and fauna, inhabited by indigenous peoples who have inhabited the island for over 40,000 years as well as by more recent migrants there is something in Borneo for everyone.



This compact book contains information about the history of Borneo, its geography and its cultural traditions. But wait: Borneo is not a homogeneous whole. It consists of the Indonesian State of Kalimantan, the Malaysian states of Sabah and Sarawak and the tiny oil-rich sultanate of Brunei. Borneo is resource-rich but is losing its rich primary tropical rainforest as logging operations expand. This has its own set of environmental impacts.



So, you'd like to travel to Borneo and perhaps to climb Mt Kinabalu? Or are you interested in jungle trekking or diving? Or maybe you'd like to combine all of these activities as well as having a relaxing holiday? Or perhaps you'd just like to read a little about what Borneo has to offer?



Regardless of your plans, the Lonely Planet guide to Borneo is a great starting point. Full of maps and useful information for the seasoned and new traveller alike, this guide provides a lot of information and lets you know where to find more. When you pack your bag, don't forget your leech socks!
