What happens when a naive intern is granted unfettered access to people's most private thoughts and actions? Young Stephen Thorpe lands a coveted internship at Ubatoo, an Internet empire that provides its users with popular online services, from a search engine and shopping to e-mail and social networking. When Stephen's boss asks him to work on a project with the American Coalition for Civil Liberties, Stephen innocently obliges, believing he is mining Ubatoo's vast databases to protect the ever-growing number of people unfairly targeted in the name of national security. But nothing is as it seems. Suspicious individuals--do-gooders, voyeurs, government agents, and radicals--surface, doing all they can to access the mass of desires and vulnerabilities gleaned from scouring Ubatoo's wealth of intimate information. Entry into Ubatoo's vaults of personal data need not require technical wizardry--simply knowing how to manipulate a well-intentioned intern may be enough.

Présentation de l'éditeur Au rythme actuel des massacres et de l'émigration, il n'y aura plus de chrétiens dans leur berceau originel. Ce n'est pas seulement un cri de détresse, c'est le constat amer d'une réalité qui rappelle les massacres de 1915 en Turquie, ceux de 1933 en Irak. Biographie de l'auteur Spécialiste du Proche-Orient, habitué des grands chemins, Sébastien de Courtois est parti à la rencontre d'une communauté en péril, d'Istanbul à Bagdad, berceau de la chrétienté.

"A must-read for anyone who hopes for (or fears) an American reengagement with Iran. Superb diplomatic history focused on lessons learned rather than festering grievances. I hope Iranians read this as well as Americans. Limbert is one of our few genuine Iran experts." —Richard W.

Khatami and Gorbachev: Politics of Change in the Islamic Republic of Iran and the USSR
Review 'This book is a model, and a triumph, of the comparative-historical craft. It is also an extraordinarily illuminating study of contemporary Russia and Iran, two pivotal states in global geopolitics.' - Sumantra Bose, Professor of International and Comparative Politics, London School of Economics; 'This book makes an important contribution not only to the expansion of our understanding of Russia and Iran but also to comparative studies. Whilst focusing on the role of these men in the processes of reform, Zhand Shakibi rightly draws attention to the role of geopolitics and specifically the influence of the US on the course of reform in both countries. The research is an effective mixture of primary and secondary sources.
The is an intriguing study of developing trade patterns in Asia.
India, China, and Asia's Growing Presence in the Middle East
Gause sees the three big states of Iran, Iraq, and Saudi Arabia, together with the small states of Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates, as forming a distinct system of international relations in which the foreign policy of each country is shaped largely by its relations with the others (plus its relationship with a dominant outside actor). He demonstrates the workings of this distinctive system from the early 1970s to the present. Given that these four decades witnessed the British withdrawal from the Persian Gulf, the United States' ever-increasing involvement, the rise of Iran, and three wars, simply producing a clear and coherent account of the system at work would be an achievement.

Europe.view: Redrawing the map | The Economist
PEOPLE who find their neighbours tiresome can move to another neighbourhood, whereas countries can’t. But suppose they could. Rejigging the map of Europe would make life more logical and friendlier. Britain, which after its general election will have to confront its dire public finances, should move closer to the southern-European countries that find themselves in a similar position. It could be towed to a new position near the Azores.The way people work is changing... The cost and inconvenience of commuting to work everyday is increasing, whereas advances in computer and networking technology are making the viability of working from home a realistic alternative to travelling to an office every day. In fact, there is more to working from home than just convenience and lifestyle improvements, there can be huge benefits to working in an Archipod garden office.
