Book Description
In this eloquent and impassioned book, defense expert Fred Iklé predicts a revolution in national security that few strategists have grasped; fewer still are mindful of its historic roots. We are preoccupied with suicide bombers, jihadist terrorists, and rogue nations producing nuclear weapons, but these menaces are merely distant thunder that foretells the gathering storm. It is the dark side of technological progress that explains this emerging crisis. Globalization guarantees the spread of new technologies, whether beneficial or destructive, and this proliferation reaches beyond North Korea, Iran, and other rogue states. Our greatest threat is a cunning tyrant gaining possession of a few weapons of mass destruction. His purpose would not be to destroy landmarks, highjack airplanes, or attack railroad stations. He would annihilate a nation's government from within and assume dictatorial power. The twentieth century offers vivid examples of tyrants who have exploited major national disasters by rallying violent followers and intimidating an entire nation. To explain how we have become so vulnerable, Iklé turns to history. Some 250 years ago, science was freed from political and religious constraints, causing a cultural split in which one part of our culture remained animated by religion and politics while the other became guided by science. Since then, technological progress and the evolving political order march to different drummers. Science advances at an accelerating pace while religion and politics move along a zigzag course. This divergence will widen and endanger the survival of all nations. Drawing on his experience as a Washington insider, Iklé outlines practical measures that could readily be implemented to help us avert the worst disaster.

"Another fantastic read from Daisy St. James! This book is H.O.T! St. James has a gift for building worlds that suck you in and refuse to let go. Once the world of the Phoenyx gets its claws in you, you're a goner." - Reviewer It's been a bumpy road for Jane Grimshaw. The sexy, badass supernatural assassin has her hands full keeping the streets of Crystal Haven safe from the devilish creatures of the night. Trauma and heartbreak seem to find her at every turn, and it hasn't let up yet. Confronting her own demons may prove to be her most challenging adventure—and this time, she's lost too much to succumb to any repeat performances. Anyone who dares to venture near will ignite the unadulterated wrath of The Phoenyx. If you like books like The Hollow's series by Kim Harrison and J.R. Ward's Black Dagger Brotherhood series—or television shows like Buffy the Vampire Slayer and True Blood, then you will love this! From Within is an urban fantasy, paranormal romance with elements that may be sensitive to some readers. Those of which contain mature language, sensitive content, graphic language, excessive violence and mature content meant for adults only. This book is the third in this series and ends on a cliffhanger, as do all subsequent books. There WILL be a happily ever after—just not yet! Buy now...

Book Description
Ego and Spirit both speak profoundly within our lives. Can you hear what they are saying to you? These two voices are the main energies that rise up and give shape to our thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and physical health. As we go about meeting life’s challenges—such as change, adversity, stressors, conflicts, relationships, self-esteem, achievement, and our ability to experience genuine happiness—the voice of an unconscious, imbalanced ego is unfortunately the one we more often hear and heed, leading us into a lesser version of ourselves. The Two Voices Within: Balancing the Energies of Ego and Spirit to Enhance Your Life invites you to more clearly hear what both of these voices are saying so that you can speak with more of your true voice and recognize the One Voice of the Universe. This awakening will enable you to be the best version of yourself and optimally meet life’s challenges.
