What if a secret society, founded during the Civil War, accumulated a fortune in gold coins in the hopes of someday funding a second war between the states? What if they buried their treasure in a vast network of remote locations across the South and the Southwestern United States, and appointed sentinels to guard them -- sentinels who passed the secrets of this treasure from generation to generation? What if the keys to this fantastic treasure were hidden in a series of mysterious coded maps?
In "Rebel Gold," investigative journalist Warren Getler and Bob Brewer, a descendant of one of the Confederate sentinels sworn to protect this treasure, uncover the truth behind the legend of this buried gold and the group rumored to have hidden it, the Knights of the Golden Circle. A fast-paced blend of history and modern-day detective story, Rebel Gold reveals a shadowy chapter in American history -- and how its legacy may be continuing to this day.

The Management of Convergence Telecomunications in the New Environment by James P. Heatherly, ISBN 1558606769
Convergent services are just beginning to become available (some examples of services are: Internet services delivered to TV sets via systems like Web TV, e-mail and World Wide Web access via digital TV decoders and mobile telephones; webcasting of radio and TV programming on the Internet; using the Internet for voice telephony, etc.) and are projected to really take off soon. There are currently no books out on telecom management that have this focus on convergence -- and books currently available are horribly dated.
Telecommunications, media and IT companies are using the flexibility of technologies to offer services outside their traditional business sectors, increasingly on an international or global scale. The goal of Heatherly's book is to provide coverage of the fundamentals of telecommunications and discuss how to manage these converged systems, giving managers a how-to manual for many of the day-to-day responsibilities they will encounter. The book will provide detailed discussions...
