Longarm and an Apache scout are swept up in a whirlwind of trouble… Longarm’s old friend, War Cloud, the Apache scout, is taking a break from getting shot every day in Buffalo Bill’s Wild West show to come to the aid of the U.S. government. War Cloud, along with his beautiful daughter Magpie, will team up with Longarm to retrieve an errant Army wife who has run off with an Apache. If they fail to bring back the ravishing runaway, the cuckolded Major Belcher may spark another Apache war by storming the sacred Shadow Montañas to reclaim his wife and kill her Indian lover. With a loose cannon on one side of the border and arrow-happy Apaches on the other, Longarm will have to be fast as lightning—or he and his companions may be caught in a hail of bullets.

On the hunt for riches, Slocum only finds trouble… Upon the discovery of three mutilated corpses, John Slocum’s potentially lucrative buffalo hunt through Kansas is put on hold. When Colonel Charles Bradford and his men arrive to claim the body of his niece, Slocum can’t help but notice the rather odd flag they’re flying. It seems Bradford hopes to secede and begin a new nation in the wilds—a plan that Slocum believes to be foolish, and deadly. But when Slocum later shoots a federal agent in self-defense, he’s accused of killing the man in cold blood—and of conspiring with Bradford. Now, with more agents and Pinkertons hot on his trail, Slocum knows that clearing his name will mean taking matters into his own bloody hands.

This book discusses the international legal issues underlying Internet Governance and proposes an international solution to its problems. The book encompasses a wide spectrum of current debate surrounding the governance of the internet and focuses on the areas and issues which urgently require attention from the international community in order to sustain the proper functioning of the global network that forms the foundation of our information fuelled society. Among the topics discussed are international copyright protection, state responsibility for cyber-attacks (cyberterrorism), and international on-line privacy protection. Taking a comparative approach by examining how different jurisdictions such as the United States, the European Union, China and Singapore have attempted various solutions to the problem of Internet Governance, the author offers a practical solution to the problem and is a proponent of International Internet Law. Kulesza suggests that just as in the case of International Environmental Law, an Internet Framework Convention could shape the starting point for international cooperation and lead to a clear, contractual division of state jurisdictional competences. International Internet Law is of particular interest to legal scholars engaged with the current challenges in international law and international relations, as well as students of law, international relations and political science. The issues discussed in the book are also relevant to journalists and other media professionals, facing the challenges of analyzing current international developments in cyberspace.

How, beginning in the mid 1960s, the US semiconductor industry helped shape changes in American science, including a new orientation to the short-term and the commercial. Since the mid 1960s, American science has undergone significant changes in the way it is organized, funded, and practiced. These changes include the decline of basic research by corporations; a new orientation toward the short-term and the commercial, with pressure on universities and government labs to participate in the market; and the promotion of interdisciplinarity. In this book, Cyrus Mody argues that the changes in American science that began in the 1960s co-evolved with and were shaped by the needs of the “civilianized” US semiconductor industry. In 1965, Gordon Moore declared that the most profitable number of circuit components that can be crammed on a single silicon chip doubles every year. Mody views “Moore's Law” less as prediction than as self-fulfilling prophecy, pointing to the enormous investments of capital, people, and institutions the semiconductor industry required—the “long arm” of Moore's Law that helped shape all of science. Mody offers a series of case studies in microelectronics that illustrate the reach of Moore's Law. He describes the pressures on Stanford University's electrical engineers during the Vietnam era, IBM's exploration of alternatives to semiconductor technology, the emergence of consortia to integrate research across disciplines and universities, and the interwoven development of the the molecular electronics community and associated academic institutions as the vision of a molecular computer informed the restructuring of research programs.
