8 Friends, 1 Murderer is a riveting murder mystery. Eight friends, recent graduates of St. Mark's Prep class of 1974, are spending a fun filled weekend at a summer cottage in Bar Harbor, Maine. While engaged in typical activities for teenagers in the seventies, tragedy strikes the group and their lives are changed forever. The second half of the work brings us to 1999, when we meet the classmates again and see how their lives have changed from those simpler and more carefree teenage years. You'll be captivated by the twists and turns of events, as new information about the tragedy is uncovered twenty-five years later. The novel is fast-paced, intriguing and at times, humorous. We view the world through the eyes of Chris Wilson, a person born on the wrong side of the railroad tracks. Nevertheless, Chris is accepted into the prep school world due to his ability to place a ball into a net with a lacrosse stick. Later, he is a successful professional but life continues to challenge him due to his insecurities. The characters are very real and may remind you of your own high school friends. We know that you will enjoy this delightful new novel by Dennis Lassi, 8 Friends, 1 Murderer.

Shiloh, the Life and Times of My Best Friend

By: Dennis Lassi

Shiloh, The Life and Times of my Best Friend is the story of a mixed breed hound dog who was adopted into our family from the humane society. Her story is at times humorous, at times reflective and finally somewhat sad. The story will remind you of all those pets that are at times willful and stubborn, but provide their human friends with so much true companionship. Shiloh's spirited nature brought our family many years of entertainment and happiness. The book is an enjoyable read for the entire family. We hope you enjoy the fourth work from the pen of Dennis Lassi, Shiloh, The Life and Times of my Best Friend.

Jennifer--Spiral Up to Murder

By: Dennis Lassi,0-595-20186-5

Jennifer-Spiral up to Murder takes you into the world of Jennifer Peterson, an eighteen year-old girl who is just leaving the confines of the New York State foster care program. Jennifer is pretty, smart and at the beginning of the story has a massive chip on her shoulder. Through a series of events, you are brought to understand and care about Jennifer, so that when tragedy strikes you'll have genuine concern for her. We consider this story both witty and an enjoyable to read. The novel, through thoroughly developed characters and a powerful story line, will also elicit your emotions. Although the plot becomes intricate, it isn't difficult to follow. There is also an undercurrent of sarcastic humor throughout the work. The work also includes a great deal of computer e-mail use that we feel you'll enjoy.

African-Americans and the Quest for Civil Rights, 1900-1990

By: Sean Dennis Cashman

In this lavishly illustrated volume, Sean Dennis Cashman surveys the history of civil rights in twentieth-century America. The book charts the principal course of civil rights against the dramatic backdrop of two world wars, the Great Depression, the affluent society of the postwar world, the cultural and social agitation of the 1960s, and the emergence of the new conservatism of the 1970s and 1980s. Cashman describes the profound upheaval that African-Americans experienced as they moved from the outright racism of the South through the Great Migration northward from 1915, and sets the contribution of African-American leaders within their historical context: Booker T. Washington, W. E. B. Du Bois, Marcus Garvey, A. Philip Randolph, Malcolm X, Martin Luther King, and many others. The work also describes the shift in emphasis in the movement from legal cases brought before the courts to mass protest movements and, later, the change in direction from civil rights to Black Power and, later, Pan-Africanism. Far more than just a history of civil rights leaders, this book explains how the achievements of African-American writers, artists, singers, and athletes contributed to a wider understanding of the humanity and culture of black Americans. Cashman details, among others, the achievements of the Harlem Renaissance, the films of Paul Robeson and Marian Anderson, and the works of Langston Hughes, Ralph Ellison, James Baldwin, and Toni Morrison. Written in an engaging style, the text is accompanied by a wealth of illustrations, some well known, others in print for the first time.

Human-Computer Interaction and Management Information Systems: Applications. Advances in Management Information Systems

Applications

By: Dennis F. Galletta,Yahong Zhang

Human-Computer Interaction and Management Information Systems: Applications" offers state-of-the-art research by a distinguished set of authors who span the MIS and HCI fields. The original chapters provide authoritative commentaries and in-depth descriptions of research programs that will guide 21st century scholars, graduate students, and industry professionals. Human-Computer Interaction (or Human Factors) in MIS is concerned with the ways humans interact with information, technologies, and tasks, especially in business, managerial, organizational, and cultural contexts. It is distinctive in many ways when compared with HCI studies in other disciplines. The MIS perspective affords special importance to managerial and organizational contexts by focusing on analysis of tasks and outcomes at a level that considers organizational effectiveness. With the recent advancement of technologies and development of many sophisticated applications, human-centeredness in MIS has become more critical than ever before. This work focuses on applications and evaluations including special case studies, specific contexts or tasks, HCI methodological concerns, and the use and adoption process.
