Dwight Eisenhower $19.95 He was a boy from Abilene who grew up to command the largest fighting force ever assembled. He rode his military accomplishments all the way to the White House. Dwight D. Eisenhower ran for President with one of the most direct and effective messages in the history of politics: ""I Like Ike."" This simple slogan belies the complexity of the man behind it: people did like Ike, but they didn't know him nearly as well as they thought they did. Going beyond the broad strokes that have long defined his public image, BIOGRAPHY probes the complexities of Eisenhower's personality, details his extraordinary military career and reflects on his time as President, where he was sometimes dismissed as a do nothing but in fact pushed forcefully and effectively for major change in the country. Recordings capture Eisenhower's own words, and the recollections of dozens of friends, colleagues, family members and political insiders add rich dimension to this multi faceted portrait. Features interviews with Senator John McCain, General Wesley Clark, Sam Donaldson, George Will, Tom Brokaw, General Barry McCaffrey, Senator Bob Dole, David Eisenhower, Julie Nixon Eisenhower, Susan Eisenhower, Mary Jane Eisenhower, Walter Cronkite and many others. Running Time: 50 Minutes

Hackers & Painters: Big Ideas from the Computer Age $15.95 By Paul Graham May 2004 ISBN: 0 596 00662 4 272 pages We are living in the computer age, in a world increasingly designed and engineered by computer programmers and software designers, by people who call themselves hackers. Who are these people, what motivates them, and why should you care? Consider these facts: Everything around us is turning into computers. Your typewriter is gone, replaced by a computer. Your phone has turned into a computer. So has your camera. Soon your TV will. Your car was not only designed on computers, but has more processing power in it than a room sized mainframe did in 1970. Letters, encyclopedias, newspapers, and even your local store are being replaced by the Internet. Hackers & Painters: Big Ideas from the Computer Age, by Paul Graham, explains this world and the motivations of the people who occupy it. In clear, thoughtful prose that draws on illuminating historical examples, Graham takes readers on an unflinching exploration into what he calls "an intellectual Wild West." The ideas discussed in this book will have a powerful and lasting impact on how we think, how we work, how we develop technology, and how we live. Topics include the importance of beauty in software design, how to make wealth, heresy and free speech, the programming language renaissance, the open source movement, digital design, Internet startups, and more. And here's a taste of what you'll find in _Hackers & Painters: _ "In most fields the great work is done early on. The paintings made between 1430 and 1500 are still unsurpassed. Shakespeare appeared just as professional theater was being born, and pushed the medium so far that every playwright since has had to live in his shadow. Albrecht Durer did the same thing with engraving, and Jane Austen with the novel. Over and over we see the same pattern. A new medium appears, and people are so excited about it that they explore most of its possibilities in the first couple generations. Hacking seems to be in this phase now. Painting was not, in Leonardo's time, as cool as his work helped make it. How cool hacking turns out to be will depend on what we can do with this new medium." Andy Hertzfeld, co creator of the Macintosh computer, says about Hackers & Painters: "Paul Graham is a hacker, painter and a terrific writer. His lucid, humorous prose is brimming with contrarian insight and practical wisdom on writing great code at the intersection of art, science and commerce." Eric S. Raymond, author of The Cathedral and the Bazaar, writes in the foreword to Hackers & Painters: "Paul's writing is, as you'll soon learn from the rest of this book, wonderfully lucid stuff. Reading Paul's essays is like having a conversation with a genius who doesn't need to score any points by proving it to you, except that most geniuses aren't as articulate as he is. You get to share Paul's sense that the Universe is a fascinating place, and his knack for looking at it from an unusual angle."
