The History of Wireless reads like a novel. It chronicles the discoveries and inventions that led to today's mass market. Part I covers Volta, Faraday, Maxwell, Lodge, and Hertz--presenting crucial aspects of their work often missed by other biographers. Part II describes the development of the telegraph and telephone and how Marconi, Fessenden, de Forest, and Armstrong made them "wireless." It also covers the birth of radio and TV broadcasting and figures including Sarnoff, Farnsworth, and Zworykin. Part III provides the most comprehensive history of mobile radio, cellular, and digital cellular found in one place. It proceeds to look at emerging technologies and standards such as mobile TV and ambient light-powered color displays. The final chapter reviews the creative process in technology development.

The History and Future of Medical Technology tells the story behind today's advanced medical technologies: how they were developed, how they work their magic, and how they are likely to evolve over the next several years. The book gives readers a front row view of the discoveries and inventions that transformed medicine into an exact science. It demystifies the technologies found in modern hospitals and clinics showing how they satisfy real and pressing needs. And it covers the latest advances in areas including robotic surgery, brain-computer interface chips, artificial retinas, and nanomedicine.

This is the other side of the Google story. In Search &amp; Destroy, Google expert Scott Cleland, shows that the world's most powerful company is not who it pretends to be. 
Google pretends to be a harmless lamb, but chose a full-size model of a Tyrannosaurus Rex as its mascot. Beware the T-Rex in sheep's clothing. 
Google has acquired far more information, both public and private, and has invented more ways to use it, than anyone in history. Information is power, and in Google's case, it's the power to influence and control virtually everything the Internet touches. Google's power is largely unchecked, unaccountable and grossly underestimated. Google is the Internet's lone superpower, the new master of the digital information universe. And Google's power depends almost entirely on the blind trust it has gained through masterful duplicity. Google routinely says one thing and does another. 
Cleland proves the world's #1 brand untrustworthy. He exposes the unethical company hiding behind a Don't Be Evil slogan. He uncovers Google's hidden political agenda. And he reveals how Google's famed mission to organize the world's information is destructive and wrong. Cleland is the first to critically examine where Google is leading us, explain why we don t want to go there, and propose straightforward solutions. 
Google's unprecedented centralization of power over the world's information is corrupting both Google and the Internet, a natural result of unchecked power. Google is evolving from an information servant to master, from working for users, to making users work for the Internet behemoth. 
Search &amp; Destroy conclusively demonstrates that Google's goal is to change the world by influencing and controlling information access. Ultimately, Google's immense unchecked power is destructive precisely because Google is so shockingly-political, unethical and untrustworthy.

A religious cult has swept the globe. The cult demands strict adherence to its dogma. And the cult does not tolerate dissent. It is the cult of progressive environmentalism.  In his new book, In Global Warming We Trust, author Tony Sadar warns that climate science has been seized by activists who put their political agenda ahead of scientific rigor and objectivity.  Ideas have consequences. The leaders of the cult want us to spend a trillion dollars canceling the Industrial Revolution. With the backing of the United Nations, they are pushing a plan to reduce worldwide carbon emissions, a move that if successful would relegate millions of people to lifelong poverty.  Tony Sadar contends that before we turn the lights out on modernity, we need to critically examine the assumptions behind long-range climate forecasts and plans to alter the Earth's climate. He finds that today's climate science is driven more by self-righteousness than the time-tested science virtues of rigorous data, skeptical inquiry, and no-holds-barred debate.  Sadar warns that climate science has become politicized and that activists' goals interfere with scientific judgment. He calls on the science community to put an end to the unprofessional and anti-science practices of calling skeptics of a controversial theory "deniers" and "pseudoscientists." He shows that despite claims to the contrary, leading scientists do not agree on environmental policies. As an atmospheric science insider, Tony Sadar cautions that environmental policymakers place too much confidence in proxy data, computer models, and long-range climate forecasts and are too quick to accept claims that fossil fuels are inherently bad, that humans are destroying the planet, and that only immediate and drastic action can save the world.  The book concludes with a call to action--a call to restore integrity and optimism to science.
