DOWNLOAD EBOOKIt's two years after the Zero Day attacks, and cyber-security analyst Jeff Aiken is reaping the rewards for crippling Al-Qaida's assault on the computer infrastructure of the Western world. His company is flourishing, and his relationship with former government agent Daryl Haugen has intensified since she became a part of his team. But the West is under its greatest threat yet. A revolutionary, invisible trojan that alters data without leaving a trace---more sophisticated than any virus seen before---has been identified, roiling international politics. Jeff and Daryl are summoned to root it out and discover its source. As the trojan penetrates Western intelligence, and the terrifying truth about its creator is revealed, Jeff and Daryl find themselves in a desperate race to reverse it as the fate of both East and West hangs in the balance. A thrilling suspense story and a sober warning from one of the world's leading experts on cyber-security, Trojan Horse exposes the already widespread use of international cyber-espionage as a powerful and dangerous weapon, and the lengths to which one man will go to stop it.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK"Turn Left at the Trojan Horse had me howling with laughter and nodding at the razor-sharp observation." --Tahir Shah, author of The Caliph's House "Go away. Figure it out," she was saying. "Don't come back until you do." She looked at the calendar. "You have thirty-one days." With these words, like Helen of Troy launching a thousand ships across the Aegean, Brad Herzog's wife launched a Winnebago Aspect onto the open road. A modern-day Odysseus in Kerouac clothing, Brad Herzog plunges into a solo cross-country search for insight. With middle age bearing down on him, he takes stock: How has he measured up to his own youthful aspirations? In contemporary America, what is a life well lived? What is a heroic life? From the foothills of Washington's Mount Olympus, through the forgotten corners of America, and finally to his college reunion in Ithaca, New York, Brad shares his personal odyssey. Stopping in classically named towns, he meets everyday heroes, including a teacher in a one-room schoolhouse in Troy, Oregon;a modern-day hobo in Iliad, Montana;and a bomb-squad soldier in Sparta, Wisconsin. These encounters and Brad's effortlessly infused musings make for an exciting, one-of-a-kind ride. "A truly epic journey." --A.J. Jacobs, author of The Year of Living Biblically "As we sit in Herzog's passenger seat, we cannot help but stare out the window and even see our own reflection in the glass."--Liz Robbins, author of A Race Like No Other Brad Herzog lives on California's Monterey Peninsula with his wife and their two sons. He has been described as a "modern-day Steinbeck" and a "Picasso of the Winnebago," and Lonely Planet has ranked his travel memoirs among eight classics of the genre, along with books like Travels with Charley and On the Road. As an award-winning freelance writer, he has chronicled some of the nation's most unusual and intriguing subcultures, from nudists to North Pole explorers and from Pez collectors to pro mini golfers.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKTo eat, or not to eat, that is the question? Honestly speaking, how you answer this question, could ultimately determine whether you will continue to be, or not to be, in good health, or even in a worst case scenario, not alive or deathly ill, depending on the choices you make! As the world turns, there are a couple of things that every human being has in common, one being hunger pains, and two, the freedom of choice; we have to answer the call. True, through the dawns of time, we've all grown accustomed to partaking in the daily rituals of breakfast, lunch, dinner, and a few snacks in between, but why are the foods that are suggested through mainstream media within those three constructs, seem more like programmed choices, rather than true, individualized choices between the many things Mother Nature has to offer us as far as obtaining optimal health is concerned? We should focus on eating healthy foods when we feel it's necessary, and unlearn the reactions to conditioned responses like dinner bells. As you can see, freedom of choice begins in the mind, but if your mind was hijacked from the beginning, how would you even know, or begin to discern that you are even doing your health and your body an injustice when these habits have been carried on from generation to generation? If you take a look around, you will realize something is very wrong in regards to obesity, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, etc...that is directly connected to many issues that we as a people face when it comes to maintaining good health and wellness within the human population. It is very true that a mind is a terrible thing to waste, and in this case, it would be wise for you to use it being that your mind is the only thing that can save you from the destructive direction the old ways of "food for thought" has taken us. In this book, Trojan Horse Foods, our mission is to help you destroy that old paradigm of consuming any and every type of food even though most of them look good at the sight, but are not good for us health wise. With that being said, now is the time, more than ever, to make a stride towards self-sufficiency, sovereignty, and the overall goal of governing oneself!

DOWNLOAD EBOOKIn Winnebago Nation, popular critic James B. Twitchell takes a light-hearted look at the culture and industry behind the yearning to spend the night in one's car. For the young the roadtrip is a coming-of-age ceremony; for those later in life it is the realization of a lifelong desire to be spontaneous, nomadic, and free. Informed by his own experiences on the road, Twitchell recounts the RV's origins and evolution over the twentieth century; its rise, fall, and rebirth as a cultural icon; its growing mechanical complexity as it evolved from an estate wagon to a converted bus to a mobile home; and its role in bolstering and challenging conceptions of American identity. Mechanical yet dreamy, independent yet needful, solitary yet clubby, adventurous yet homebound, life in a mobile home is a distillation of the American character and an important embodiment of American exceptionalism, (Richie Rich and Hobo Hank spend time in essentially the same rig at the same campground, albeit for different reasons and in different levels of comfort.) The frontier may be tapped out but we still yearn for the exploratory life. Twitchell concludes with his thoughts on the future of RV communities and the possibility of mobile cities becoming a real part of the American landscape.
