In November of 1587, a report reached London claiming SirWalter Raleigh's expedition to land English settlers in America hadfoundered. The colony on Roanoke Island off of the coast of NorthCarolina-115 men, women, and children-had disappeared without atrace. For four hundred years, the question of what became of thedoomed settlers has remained unanswered. Where did they go? Whatreally happened? Why were they on Roanoke Island in the firstplace, as that was not their destination? Using her consummateskills as an anthropologist and ethnohistorian, Lee Miller castsnew light on the previously inexplicable puzzle of Roanoke,unraveling a thrilling web of deceit that can be traced back to theinner circle of Queen Elizabeth's government to finally solve thelasting mystery of the Lost Colony.

The most riveting political biography of our time, Robert A.Caro’s life of Lyndon B. Johnson, continues. Master of theSenate takes Johnson’s story through one of its most remarkableperiods: his twelve years, from 1949 through 1960, in the UnitedStates Senate. Once the most august and revered body in politics,by the time Johnson arrived the Senate had become a parody ofitself and an obstacle that for decades had blocked desperatelyneeded liberal legislation. Caro shows how Johnson’s brilliance,charm, and ruthlessness enabled him to become the youngest and mostpowerful Majority Leader in history and how he used hisincomparable legislative genius--seducing both Northern liberalsand Southern conservatives--to pass the first Civil Rightslegislation since Reconstruction. Brilliantly weaving rich detailinto a gripping narrative, Caro gives us both a galvanizingportrait of Johnson himself and a definitive and revelatory studyof the workings of legislative power.

Autism is in the public spotlight now more than ever as new research and information appears almost daily. Although in many ways this is a positive development it also presents challenges to families and practitioners who want to keep up with the latest developments and are left to sift through new information by themselves to see what is credible and relevant for them.Each of us needs a personal research assistant who can determine which information we need to pay attention to and let us know how it might affect our daily work and the children we are living with or serve. Since we each don’t have our own research assistants on staff, I am delighted to recommend this wonderful book by Fred Volkmar and Lisa Wiesner. Both of these talented professional leaders have combined their scientific skills and understanding of the field with great practical experience and ideas about how research can be translated into clinical practice. The result is a book that provides the best and most comprehensive informa
The "alarming and impassioned"* book on how the Internet isredefining constitutional law, now reissued as the first popularbook revised online by its readers (*New York Times) There's a common belief that cyberspace cannot beregulated-that it is, in its very essence, immune from thegovernment's (or anyone else's) control. Code, first published in2000, argues that this belief is wrong. It is not in the nature ofcyberspace to be unregulable; cyberspace has no "nature." It onlyhas code-the software and hardware that make cyberspace what it is.That code can create a place of freedom-as the originalarchitecture of the Net did-or a place of oppressive control. Underthe influence of commerce, cyberpsace is becoming a highlyregulable space, where behavior is much more tightly controlledthan in real space. But that's not inevitable either. We can-wemust-choose what kind of cyberspace we want and what freedoms wewill guarantee. These choices are all about architecture: aboutwhat kind of code will govern c
Since the dawn of the industrial age, companies have engaged in head-to-head competition in search of sustained, profitable growth. They have fought for competitive advantage, battled over market share, and struggled for differentiation. Yet, these hallmarks of competitive strategy are not the way to create profitable growth in the future. In a book that challenges everything you thought you knew about the requirements for strategic success, W. Chan Kim and Renee Mauborgne argue that cutthroat competition results in nothing but a bloody red ocean of rivals fighting over a shrinking profit pool. Based on a study of 150 strategic moves spanning more than a hundred years and 30 industries, the authors argue that lasting success comes not from battling competitors, but from creating "blue oceans"--untapped new market spaces ripe for growth. Such strategic moves--which the authors call "value innovation"--create powerful leaps in value that often render rivals obsolete for more than a decade. Blue Ocean Strategy p
