How to Land a Top-Paying Federal
Job: Your Complete Guide to Opportunities, Internships, Resumes and Cover
Letters, Application Essays (KSAs), Interviews, Salaries, Promotions, and More! Illinois governor Rod Blagojevich, recently accused of corruption, offered one way to obtain a plum federal job; Whiteman, a federal careers job coach, offers another. Her suggestions are comprehensive—and legal. The Arts of Intimacy: Christians,
Jews, and Muslims in the Making of Castilian Culture In a beautifully illustrated history, the authors tell how, following the capture of Muslim-dominated Toledo in the eleventh century, the three often-antagonistic groups in the area managed to do something remarkable: peacefully forge a new culture rooted in confrontation, interaction, and union. Killing for Coal: America's
Deadliest Labor War On April 20, 1914, at a Colorado coal-mining camp called Ludlow, long-running tensions between workers and the coal company boiled over, and "bullets began to fly thick and fast," writes Andrews, a labor historian. As many as 30 people died in the ensuing "Ten Days' War" between striking miners and Colorado militiamen. Andrews tells the gripping story of this nearly forgotten battle. Sun in a Bottle: The Strange History
of Fusion and the Science of Wishful Thinking Einstein’s famous equation, E=mc², describes why the sun shines; Seife masterfully describes how trying to do the same thing on Earth—achieve a controlled fusion reaction that would convert matter into an endless supply of energy—has driven scientists to delusion (in the infamous case of "cold fusion") and, sometimes, to real progress. To date, the goal of creating "a tiny star in a bottle" remains frustratingly out of reach. The Hip Hop Wars: What We Talk About
When We Talk About Hip Hop—and Why It Matters “Hip hop is not dead, but it is gravely ill," writes Rose, a scholar of modern African American culture. In a challenging critique of the rise and fall of this vibrant musical genre, Rose traces how it became dominated by the "commercial trinity of the gangsta, pimp, and ho," how the genre can change, and why everyone, even "those who don’t listen to or enjoy the music itself," should care. Against Us: The New Face of
America’s Enemies in the Muslim World ABC foreign correspondent Sciutto has come to "an unsettling truth: the al Qaeda-inspired view of an evil America bent on destroying Islam has moved from the fringe to the mainstream." Sciutto shows how this happened throughout the Middle East, and in Asia, and England—and finds hope in the fact that, as one analyst puts it, "Many Muslims are still deeply enamored of America the idea.”
