Excerpt: ... A FAVORABLE JUNCTURE. 57 red, was preparing to join the colony; and it introd. was estimated by Jean de Léry, that ten thou- 1562. sand French Protestants would soon have crossed the ocean to Brazil.1 The baseness of one man had ruined the scheme which promised so much for France and for America. But there were others in the Protestant ranks, tried and trusted leaders, who stood ready fora second venture, upon Coligny's bidding; and the harbors of Bretagne and Normandy swarmed with men as ready to follow. The times also, if not brighter, were more opportune. The Huguenots, as they now began to be called, had become a recognized power in the land; with two princes of the blood--Antoine, king of Navarre, and his brother, Louis, prince of Condé--at their head. There was a lull in the storm of persecution. Nearly thirty-seven years had passed since Jean Leclerc, the first conpicuous martyr of the Reformation in France, 1 " Car quoy qu' aucuns disent, veu le peu de temps que ces choses ont duré, & que n'y estoit à present non plus de nouvelle de vraye Religion que de nom de François pour y habiter, qu'on n'en doit faire estime: nonobstant telles allegations, ce que j'ay dit ne laisse pas de demeurer tousiours tellement vray, que tout ainsi que l'Evangile du fils de Dieu a esté de nos jours annoncé en ceste quarte partie du monde dite Amerique, aussi est-il très certain si l' affaire eust esté aussi bien poursuivi qu'il avoit esté heureusement commencé, que l' un & l' autre Regne spirituel & temporel, y avoyent si bien prins pied de nostre temps, que plus de dix mille personnes de la nation Francoise y seroient maintenant en aussi plein & seure possession pour nostre Roy, que les Espagnols y sont au nom de leurs."...

› Find signed collectible books: 'Economic Forces at Work'
In 1950, Armen Alchian published his paper "Uncertainty, Evolution and Economic Theory" (reprinted in this volume), a paper of striking originality, whose importance was immediately perceived and which gained him international recognition. It was clear that economics had a new master.
Alchian has made important contributions to the economic analysis of inflation and unemployment and to the theory of costs and of the firm. He has played the leading role in the development of a theory of property rights. His writing is distinguished by his ability to disentangle the essential from the trivial and, above all, by his skill in showing how the same basic economic forces are at work in a wide variety of apparently completely different social settings.
Armen A. Alchian is Professor Emeritus of Economics at UCLA.
Ronald H. Coase is Professor Emeritus at the University of Chicago Law School. He was awarded the 1991 Nobel Prize in Economics.

› Find signed collectible books: 'Imperialism, the Highest Stage of Capitalism'
'Globalisation' is the buzzword of the 1990s. VI Lenin's Imperialism: The Highest Stage of Capitalism was one of the first attempts to account for the increasing importance of the world market in the twentieth century. Originally published in 1916, Imperialism explains how colonialism and the First World War were inherent features of the global development of the capitalist economy.
In a new introduction, Norman Lewis and James Malone contrast Lenin's approach with that adopted by contemporary theories of globalisation. They argue that, while much has changed since Lenin wrote, his theoretical framework remains the best method for understanding recent global developments.

› Find signed collectible books: 'Moral Disorder: And Other Stories'
Margaret Atwood is acknowledged as one of the foremost writers of our time. In Moral Disorder, she has created a series of interconnected stories that trace the course of a life and also the lives intertwined with itthose of parents, of siblings, of children, of friends, of enemies, of teachers, and even of animals. As in a photograph album, time is measured in sharp, clearly observed moments. The 30s, the 40s, the 50s, the 60s, the 70s, the 80s, the 90s, and the present all are here. The settings vary: large cities, suburbs, farms, northern forests.
The Bad News is set in the present, as a couple no longer young situate themselves in a larger world no longer safe. The narrative then switches time as the central character moves through childhood and adolescence in The Art of Cooking and Serving, The Headless Horseman, and My Last Duchess. We follow her into young adulthood in The Other Place and then through a complex relationship, traced in four of the stories: Monopoly, Moral Disorder, White Horse, and The Entities. The last two stories, "The Labrador Fiasco" and "The Boys at the Lab," deal with the heartbreaking old age of parents but circle back again to childhood, to complete the cycle.
By turns funny, lyrical, incisive, tragic, earthy, shocking, and deeply personal, Moral Disorder displays Atwoods celebrated storytelling gifts and unmistakable style to their best advantage. As the New York Times has said: "The reader has the sense that Atwood has complete access to her people's emotional histories, complete understanding of their hearts and imaginations. [via]

Praise for Noam Chomsky
"An exploder of received truths."-New York Times
"Noam Chomsky is one of the most significant challengers of unjust power and delusions; he goes against every assumption about American altruism and huniatrianism."-Edward Said
"Reading Chomsky is like standing in a wind tunnel. With relentless logic, Chomsky bids us to listen closely to what our leaders tell us--and to discern what they are leaving out...The questions Chomsky raises will eventually have to be answered. Agree with him or not, we lose out by not listening."-Business Week
Praise for David Barsamian

› Find signed collectible books: 'World War 3.0: Microsoft and Its Enemies'
The Internet Revolution, like all great industrial changes, has made the world's elephantine media companies tremble that their competitors-whether small and nimble mice or fellow elephants-will get to new terrain first and seize its commanding heights. In a climate in which fear and insecurity are considered healthy emotions, corporate violence becomes commonplace. In the blink of an eye-or the time it has taken slogans such as "The Internet changes everything" to go from hyperbole to banality-"creative destruction" has wracked the global economy on an epic scale.
No one has been more powerful or felt more fear or reacted more violently than Bill Gates and Microsoft. Afraid that any number of competitors might outflank them-whether Netscape or Sony or AOL Time Warner or Sun or AT&T or Linux-based companies that champion the open-source movement or some college student hacking in his dorm room-Microsoft has waged holy war on all foes, leveraging its imposing strengths.
In World War 3.0, Ken Auletta chronicles this fierce conflict from the vantage of its most important theater of operations: the devastating second front opened up against Bill Gates's empire by the United States government. The book's narrative spine is United States v. Microsoft, the government's massive civil suit against Microsoft for allegedly stifling competition and innovation on a broad scale. With his superb writerly gifts and extraordinary access to all the principal parties, Ken Auletta crafts this landmark confrontation into a tight, character- and incident-filled courtroom drama featuring the best legal minds of our time, including David Boies and Judge Richard Posner. And with the wisdom gleaned from covering the converging media, software, and communications industries for The New Yorker for the better part of a decade, Auletta uses this pivotal battle to shape a magisterial reckoning with the larger war and the agendas, personalities, and prospects of its many combatants.
