Simon Winchester "Krakatoa: The Day the World Exploded: August 27, 1883"
Harper Perennial 2004 006093736X / 9780060937362 Paperback Like New
"Paperback, Like New, clean, tight, unmarked. (Near Fine), no spine or cover creases. some light cover edge wear,() Simon Winchester, New York Times bestselling author of The Professor and the Madman, examines the legendary annihilation in 1883 of the volcano-island of Krakatoa, which was followed by an immense tsunami that killed nearly forty thousand people. The effects of the immense waves were felt as far away as France. Barometers in Bogotá and Washington, D.C., went haywire. Bodies were washed up in Zanzibar. The sound of the island's destruction was heard in Australia and India and on islands thousands of miles away. Most significant of all -- in view of today's new political climate -- the eruption helped to trigger in Java a wave of murderous anti-Western militancy among fundamentalist Muslims, one of the first outbreaks of Islamic-inspired killings anywhere. Krakatoa gives us an entirely new perspective on this fascinating and iconic event. ID: mon0000061257"

Simon Reeve "The New Jackals: Ramzi Yousef, Osama bin Laden, and the Future of Terrorism"
Northeastern 2002 1555535097 / 9781555535094 Paperback Like New
"Paperback, Like New, clean, tight, unmarked, no spine or cover creases() The first book on Osama bin Laden and al Qaeda, this New York Times bestseller warns of a new age of apocalyptic terrorism. According to ‘The New Jackals’ a group of several thousand men who fought against the Soviets during the 1980s Afghan War have since dominated international terrorism. Author Simon Reeve warns that many of these men, known as the ‘Afghan Arabs’, have become a new breed of terrorist, militants with no restrictions on mass killing. Reeve spent years investigating the two most dangerous ‘Afghan Arabs’: Osama bin Laden, currently the most wanted man in the world, and Ramzi Yousef, the young British-educated mastermind of the massive bombing of the World Trade Center bombing (WTC) in 1993. Yousef’s attack resulted in more hospital casualties than any event in American history since the Civil War. He is described by experts as a modern ‘Carlos the Jackal’ because of his astonishing crimes. The ID: mon0000027993"

"Paperback, Like New, clean, tight, unmarked, no spine or cover creases. (Near Fine), light edge wear.() Charlie Barrett, male model, is ready for a career change.

So when a chance meeting results in Charlie being offered the job as the face of 2cool2btrue, he readily accepts. 2cool is the web equivalent of Armani, Prada and Gucci: the sexiest thing in cyberspace and everyone wants a piece of it.
