Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this book is to engage and inform the readers of occurrences past and present on the island of Dominica. It is meant to initiate discussion and to offer the youth a historical perspective that may have become lost over time. A work of passion derived from many personal experiences and many tales handed down through the ages, it is written mostly in a style that is intended for the reader to identify with some aspects of Dominica and Caribbean life in what was considered to be the good old days. I intentionally delayed reading many books written by authors from Dominica, since I wanted my writings to be unique and not influenced by the experiences of others. Therefore if you have read comparable accounts of native pastime or other depictions of our natural history,culture, and heritage, then the material that you are reading here is purely coincidental. Now that this literary exercise has been completed, I look forward to reading and savoring the compositions of my compatriots,and I hope that they will also savor mine. A sojourn through fact and fiction, this book of short stories and reflections offers a challenge for the reader to separate the facts from fiction that only this author can reveal. However if one is able to identify with one minute detail of this literary experience, then my goal as a writer will have been fulfilled. A glossary of words and phrases that may be unfamiliar to the reader is included at the end. Above all, many of the stories are thought provoking, intended to elicit laughter and nostalgia and to maintain one’s interest until the last word has been read. These stories could be anyone’s stories; and it is my fervent wish that in the aftermath of this literary exercise, others may be inspired to inscribe their own experiences of everyday life, either from a historical perspective or from modern day interactions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A young Russian woman comes into her own in the midst of revolution and civil war in this "brilliant" novel set in "a world of furious beauty" (Los Angeles Review of Books). After the loves and betrayals of The Revolution of Marina M., young poet Marina Makarova finds herself alone amid the devastation of the Russian Civil War -- pregnant and adrift, forced to rely on her own resourcefulness to find a place to wait out the birth of her child and eventually make her way back to her native city, Petrograd. After two years of revolution, the city that was once St. Petersburg is almost unrecognizable, the haunted, half-emptied, starving Capital of Once Had Been, its streets teeming with homeless children. Moved by their plight, though hardly better off herself, she takes on the challenge of caring for these orphans, until they become the tool of tragedy from an unexpected direction. Shaped by her country's ordeals and her own trials -- betrayal and privation and inconceivable loss -- Marina evolves as a poet and a woman of sensibility and substance hardly imaginable at the beginning of her transformative odyssey. Chimes of a Lost Cathedral is the culmination of one woman's s journey through some of the most dramatic events of the last century -- the epic story of an artist who discovers her full power, passion, and creativity just as her revolution reveals its true direction for the future.

Book excerpt: From the mega-bestselling author of White Oleander and Paint It Black, a sweeping historical saga of the Russian Revolution, as seen through the eyes of one young woman. St. Petersburg, New Year's Eve, 1916. Marina Makarova is a young woman of privilege who aches to break free of the constraints of her genteel life, a life about to be violently upended by the vast forces of history. Swept up on these tides, Marina will join the marches for workers' rights, fall in love with a radical young poet, and betray everything she holds dear, before being betrayed in turn. As her country goes through almost unimaginable upheaval, Marina's own coming-of-age unfolds, marked by deep passion and devastating loss, and the private heroism of an ordinary woman living through extraordinary times. This is the epic, mesmerizing story of one indomitable woman's journey through some of the most dramatic events of the last century.

According to the August Forrester Report, 56 percent of IT managers interviewed at Global 2,500 companies are already using some type of open source software in their infrastructure and another 6 percent will install it in the next two years.

Already, billions of dollars have been made and lost based on the ideas in this book. Its conclusions will be studied, debated, and implemented for years to come. According to Bob Young, "This is Eric Raymond's great contribution to the success of the open source revolution, to the adoption of Linux-based operating systems, and to the success of open source users and the companies that supply them."The interest in open source software development has grown enormously in the past year. This revised and expanded paperback edition includes new material on open source developments in 1999 and 2000. Raymond's clear and effective writing style accurately describing the benefits of open source software has been key to its success. With major vendors creating acceptance for open source within companies, independent vendors will become the open source story in 2001.
