Streaming Video on Love In Black & White now available at Expandedbooks.com Most Americans regard the World War II period as belonging to the "greatest generation," but it was also a time when religious intolerance and racial violence flourished. Shamefully, it was commonplace to see signs that read "Whites Only" or "Jews Not Allowed." It is within this world that this compelling memoir is set. William Cohen, born in Bangor, Maine, was the eldest son of a Jewish father and a Protestant Irish mother. Janet Langhart, an African-American, was raised in Indianapolis, Indiana by her single parent mother, a Southern Baptist. The book draws fascinating parallels between the histories of two people from different regions, races, and religions, as both are witnesses to and targets of the social tensions of the day. Throughout Love in Black and White, readers accompany Bill and Janet in their struggle to overcome to the barriers of ethnic and racial bigotry and hatred. The stories are rich and profound. At times they are amusing. Other times, harrowing. Against impossible odds, Bill would be elected to serve his country as a U.S. Congressman and Senator, and Janet would become a prominent television personality, activist, and highly respected businesswoman and author. Opposites in so many ways―in color, faith and culture―seemingly a bundle of contradictions, they meet in 1974, become friends, and eventually fall in love. They decide to marry on Valentine's Day 1996 in the very place that once harbored some of the nation's most prominent racists-the U.S. Capitol. They receive the surprise of a lifetime when Bill is asked by President Bill Clinton to serve as the nation's 20th Secretary of Defense. It is a calling that proves to be life transforming for both him and Janet, as they lead, inspire and bring comfort to the men and women who defend our nation. It is at the Pentagon where they witness just how powerful our nation ca

In Tek Money, Jake Cardigan tries to relax. But as he enjoys a rare night out at the theater, his son Dan has a frightening experience at the Cardigans' beachfront home. A seemingly deranged man, muttering to himself about nightmare visions that torment him, comes looking for Jake - and then dies suddenly, as Dan tries to find out what he wants. So begins an unwelcome sequence of events. First Dan is accused of murdering the man. Once the police realize that accusation is ridiculous, suspicion falls on Jake: the dead man is Peter Traynor, a Tek addict, a friend of Jake's from the bad old days, when the drug had a strong hold on them both. The murderer did Traynor in with a Tek "sizzler", a powerful chip that plugs directly into the user's brain, starts by giving him wonderful visions, and ends by producing uncontrollable hallucinations. Traynor has literally died of fear. Jake had not seen Traynor in years, but the police are still suspicious. In the meantime, it appears that everybody else in Traynor's past wants Jake's help in solving the crime. The dead man's sister, who has no money but does have a tremendous chip on her shoulder, wants to hire Jake - as long as somebody else pays. The dead man's ex-wife, a mysteriously wealthy woman, also wants to hire Jake, and she'll pay plenty - but it isn't exactly clear that a solution to the crime is what she wants for her money. Jake knows that his own good name is on the line until he finds the real killer.

Jake Cardigan's partner, Sid Gomez, has always liked the ladies (after all, he married four of them). But when wife number two calls asking for his help--and then disappears--Sid is immediately reminded of her ongoing addiction to the drug Tek. Jake knows about Tek from hard personal experience. And Sid's saved his neck more than once. Jake figures that they're in this one together--a decision that will take them deeper into the underworld of Tek, a place where death is as real as the gun in your face.

In Tek Power, the drug lords who control Tek put forth a new and audacious plan. President Warren Brookmeyer has a problem with Tek: while he insists that he uses the drug only for an occasional lift, others in his administration have convinced him that the American people would not respond well if they were to learn that their president is a Tek user. Reluctantly, Brookmeyer has agreed to go into a rehabilitation facility in secret, and to allow an android simulation to replace him for the short time it will take to train himself away from Tek. The President's advisors have assured him that the robot stand-in will be successful. Mechanix International turns out a very good product. The American public will never know that handsome Vice President Jim McCracklin is actually reporting to an android - for a very brief time, of course. But President Brookmeyer is wise to be uneasy about the plan. What he cannot know is that his most trusted advisors are on the Tek payroll - and that when he returns from his vacation looking like a new man, the country will be surprised to hear speeches from the White House that make substantial changes in his previous policies. Particularly surprising will be his new position on Tek, downplaying the importance of eliminating the Tek cartel .... As they have in the past, the Teklords have failed to figure in the efforts of investigator Jake Cardigan and his tireless assistant Gomez. Summoned on what appears to be quite a different case, Cardigan and Gomez gradually unravel a tangled web of intrigue that leads to the top ranks of government.

William Shatner, Star Trek's much-loved Captain James T. Kirk, returns with another suspenseful adventure novel in the Tek series. Investigator Jake Cardigan is back, this time hired to look into the disappearance of beautiful heiress Alicia Bower. As the daughter of the world's wealthiest robotics industrialist, Alicia has lived an exciting, eventful life, and her family is not concerned. They think this is just another impetuous departure with some handsome young man. But her current boyfriend, who believes she loves him and has changed her ways, thinks Alicia is in danger, and he turns to Jake Cardigan for help. Jake has his own problems. The murder of Beth, the woman he loved (in The Vengeance), has left him lonely and bitter. Still, Jake's son Dan and his trusted sidekick Sid Gomez persuade him to take on the case. His beloved Beth is beyond his help, but Alicia Bower may still be alive and in need of rescue. And even if Jake had tended to discount her boyfriend's emotional plea, the attempts that begin immediately on his own life are enough to convince him that something of deadly importance is going on.

William Shatner, known and loved as Star Trek's Captain James T. Kirk, delivers more suspense adventure in this latest novel in the Tek series. Critics have hailed his best-selling debut novel, TekWar, as being "as tough and scrappy as Captain Kirk" (The Wall Street Journal), praised TekLords for its "fast-paced action, high-tech gloss" (Library Journal), and called the author of TekLab "a good writer" of whom they "await his next" (Nashville Banner). In Tek Vengeance, investigator Jake Cardigan faces his most dangerous - and most heartbreaking - job ever. Beautiful Beth Kittridge, whom he has come to love more and more after rescuing her from the drug-dealing Teklords in TekWar, must go to Berlin to testify against one of the most dangerous Teklords of all. Jake wants to protect her - but he has a once-in-a-lifetime chance to obtain information from the dying daughter of a former Tek operative in Brazil. She'll talk only to Jake, and so he has no choice but to go, hoping to be back in time to travel with Beth. But as one thing after another seems to conspire to keep Jake and his sidekick, Gomez, busy in Brazil, he can't help but think he's been set up - and that Beth is in deadly danger. From Brazil to Berlin to Vienna, Jake and Gomez are off on a chase that may spell the end for the dealers in the vicious electronic drug Tek. This time Jake has the help of Dan, his son, who appears finally to believe that his father is one of the good guys, as well as that of the colorful cast of characters - human and robot - that fans of the world of Tek have come to expect

Hawkes never wanted the assignment on Mars. Yet when the Martian mining colonies threatened a revolution that would have left Earth starved of resources, he accepted that he was probably the only man who could handle the job. Now, with the corrupt rule of big business broken, and Hawkes himself in place as prime minister of Mars, the planet named for the god of war seems on its way to a peaceful future. But the Martian miners are inexperienced at freedom, and can be manipulated by people adroit at arranging "facts" to create false impressions - politicians such as Michael Carri, Earth's Senate majority leader, a sworn enemy to Hawkes. Carri had encouraged the revolution on Mars, after which, he hoped, the miners would have been so thoroughly crushed that Earth could have looked forward to years of virtual slave labor. He was not pleased when Hawkes brokered a peaceful solution, or when papers were signed that promised the miners improved conditions and a share in the profits of their labor. Assassination attempts have already shown Benton Hawkes that the road ahead is not to be as smooth as he hoped, but he is prepared to take all the steps necessary to see that the people of Mars live free at last.

"When it became public that Osama bin Laden's death was announced with the phrase "Geronimo, EKIA!" many Native people, including Geronimo's descendants, were insulted to discover that the name of a Native patriot was used as a code name for a world-class terrorist. Geronimo descendant Harlyn Geronimo explained, "Obviously to equate Geronimo with Osama bin Laden is an unpardonable slander of Native America and its most famous leader." The Militarization of Indian Country illuminates the historical context of these negative stereotypes, the long political and economic relationship between the military and Native America, and the environmental and social consequences. This book addresses the impact that the U.S. military has had on Native peoples, lands, and cultures. From the use of Native names to the outright poisoning of Native peoples for testing, the U.S. military's exploitation of Indian country is unparalleled and ongoing."--Publisher's website.

The indigenous imperative to honor nature is undermined by federal laws approving resource extraction through mining and drilling. Formal protections exist for Native American religious expression, but not for the places and natural resources integral to ceremonies. Under what conditions can traditional beliefs be best practiced? Recovering the Sacred features a wealth of native research and hundreds of interviews with indigenous scholars and activists. Winona LaDuke was named by Time in 1994 as one of America's fifty most promising leaders under forty. In 1996 and 2000, LaDuke served as Ralph Nader's vice presidential running mate in the Green Party.
