In his original CyberUnion, the author presented a bold plan for unions to develop a more significant role in the 21st century by adopting four strategic aids - futuristics, innovations, services, and traditions (F-I-S-T) - knit together by cutting-edge Info Tech resources.

It highlights relevant websites, and features interviews with key CyberUnion advocates (and some critics). Shostak reviews overseas union efforts for transferable lessons, and pays special...

Thirteen original essays analyze the progress that has been made since the official end of the Iraq War. Essayists examine the questions that have come to light with the ceasefire and U.S. occupation of Iraq. They begin by questioning the definition of "victory" in postwar Iraq and ask what it cost Americans at home in terms of dollars and lives. Next, authors address the perceived "failures" in Iraq by drawing the reader's attention to the two countries' different perspectives on the role of religion and the ideology of culture.

Though it has been nearly seventy years since the Holocaust, the human capacity for evil displayed by its perpetrators is still shocking and haunting. But the story of the Nazi attempt to annihilate European Jewry is not all we should remember. Stealth Altruism tells of secret, non-militant, high-risk efforts by -Carers, - those victims who tried to reduce suffering and improve everyone's chances of survival. Their empowering acts of altruism remind us of our inherent longing to do good even in situations of extraordinary brutality.
