The Digerati Tribe worship bytes and silicon chips. The Lipstick/Hair Spray Tribe perform elaborate appearance alterations to attract mates. The \u2018Gee-The-Seventies-Were-Great-Even-Though-I-Wasn\u2019t-Born-Yet\u2019 Tribe have predictable backwards habits. The Hockey Tribe subdivides into Oilers,Canadiens, Rangers and other assorted clans.<\/i><\/font><br>\n<font face=\"Verdana\" size=\"4\"><i>And finally there\u2019s us, the quasi-omniscient Observers.<\/i><\/font><br>\n<font face=\"Verdana\" size=\"4\">Percy Montmount, Jr., along with his best friend Elissa, have dubbed themselves the Observers of their grade 12 graduating class at Saskatoon\u2019s Groverly High. Ever since the death of his father \u2013 a renowned anthropologist whom Percy believes died in the Congo from a bite of a tsetse fly -- Percy has mysteriously taken on his dad\u2019s eyes, and his occupation, to examine the often inexplicable and ritualistic behaviors of his peers. Armed with his field study notebook, Percy tries to remain detached from his subjects, including Justin, an Alpha Male bully from the Jock Tribe, and Marcia Grady, a beautiful member of the Lipstick/Hairspray Tribe and various other sects: the Teacher tribe; theBorn Again tribe; the Cool and Detached tribe; not to mention Mr. Verplaz, theShaman.<\/font><br>\n<font face=\"Verdana\" size=\"4\">For Percy it\u2019s crucial to withdraw, analyze, and remain coolly above it all. But he\u2019s studying real people, who complicate things. Like Elissa, the only person who can come close to him, maybe too close and his no longer not-so-scientific interest in her (or her webbed foot) is battling his desperate need not to feel any emotion.

+"description":"<B><P>In the tradition of <I>Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee, <\/I>a stunningly vivid historical account of the forty-year battle between Comanche Indians and white settlers for control of the American West, centering on Quanah, the greatest Comanche chief of them all.<P><\/B>S. C. Gwynne&#8217;s <I>Empire of the Summer Moon<\/I><B> <\/B>spans two astonishing stories. The first traces the rise and fall of the Comanches, the most powerful Indian tribe in American history. The second entails one of the most remarkable narratives ever to come out of the Old West: the epic saga of the pioneer woman Cynthia Ann Parker and her mixed-blood son Quanah, who became the last and greatest chief of the Comanches. <P>Although readers may be more familiar with the tribal names Apache and Sioux, it was in fact the legendary fighting ability of the Comanches that determined just how and when the American West opened up. Comanche boys became adept bareback riders by age six; full Comanche braves were considered the best horsemen who ever rode. They were so masterful at war and so skillful with their arrows and lances that they stopped the northern drive of colonial Spain from Mexico and halted the French expansion westward from Louisiana. White settlers arriving in Texas from the eastern United States were surprised to find the frontier being rolled <I>backward <\/I>by Comanches incensed by the invasion of their tribal lands. So effective were the Comanches that they forced the creation of the Texas Rangers and account for the advent of the new weapon specifically designed to fight them: the six-gun. <P>The war with the Comanches lasted four decades, in effect holding up the development of the new American nation. Gwynne&#8217;s exhilarating account delivers a sweeping narrative that encompasses Spanish colonialism, the Civil War, the destruction of the buffalo herds, and the arrival of the railroads&#8212;a historical feast for anyone interested in how the United States came into being. <P>Against this backdrop Gwynne presents the compelling drama of Cynthia Ann Parker, a lovely nine-year-old girl with cornflower-blue eyes who was kidnapped by Comanches from the far Texas frontier in 1836. She grew to love her captors and became infamous as the \"White Squaw\" who refused to return until her tragic capture by Texas Rangers in 1860. More famous still was her son Quanah, a warrior who was never defeated and whose guerrilla wars in the Texas Panhandle made him a legend. <P><P>S. C. Gwynne&#8217;s account of these events is meticulously researched, intellectually provocative, and, above all, thrillingly told. <I>Empire of the Summer Moon <\/I>announces him as a major new writer of American history.", "genreIds":["9015", "10079"], "releaseDate":"2010-05-25T07:00:00Z", "currency":"USD", "trackId":381587084, "trackName":"Empire of the Summer Moon", "genres":["History", "United States"], "artistIds":[358333157], "artworkUrl60":"http://a5.mzstatic.com/us/r30/Publication/0c/e9/e7/mzi.msviejgd.60x60-50.jpg", "artworkUrl100":"http://a1.mzstatic.com/us/r30/Publication/0c/e9/e7/mzi.msviejgd.100x100-75.jpg", "artistViewUrl":"http://itunes.apple.com/us/artist/s-c-gwynne/id358333157?mt=11&uo=4", "trackCensoredName":"Empire of the Summer Moon", "trackViewUrl":"http://itunes.apple.com/us/book/empire-of-the-summer-moon/id381587084?mt=11&uo=4", "averageUserRating":4.5, "userRatingCount":23},

Morgan CEO Jamie Dimon and a tightly bonded team of bankers known on Wall Street as the \"Morgan Mafia,\" as well as in-depth interviews with dozens of other key players, including Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner, Tett brings to life in gripping detail how the Morgan team's bold ideas for a whole new kind of financial alchemy helped to ignite a revolution in banking, and how that revolution escalated wildly out of control.  <P> The deeply reported and lively narrative takes readers behind the scenes, to the inner sanctums of elite finance and to the secretive reaches of what came to be known as the \"shadow banking\" world. The story begins with the intense Morgan brainstorming session in 1994 beside a pool in Boca Raton, where the team cooked up a dazzling new idea for the exotic financial product known as credit derivatives. That idea would rip around the banking world, catapult Morgan to the top of the turbocharged derivatives trade, and fuel an extraordinary banking boom that seemed to have unleashed banks from ages-old constraints of risk.  <P> But when the Morgan team's derivatives dream collided with the housing boom, and was perverted -- through hubris, delusion, and sheer greed -- by titans of banking that included Citigroup, UBS, Deutsche Bank, and the thundering herd at Merrill Lynch -- even as J.P. Morgan itself stayed well away from the risky concoctions others were peddling -- catastrophe followed. Tett's access to Dimon and the J.P. Morgan leaders who so skillfully steered their bank away from the wild excesses of others sheds invaluable light not only on the untold story of how they engineered their bank's escape from carnage but also on how possible it was for the larger banking world, regulators, and rating agencies to have spotted, and heeded, the terrible risks of a meltdown.  <P> A tale of blistering brilliance and willfully blind ambition, <I>Fool's Gold<\/i> is both a rare journey deep inside the arcane and wildly competitive world of high finance and a vital contribution to understanding how the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression was perpetrated.", "genreIds":["9009", "10013", "10005"], "releaseDate":"2009-05-12T07:00:00Z", "currency":"USD", "trackId":381552960, "trackName":"Fool's Gold", "genres":["Business & Personal Finance", "Finance", "Industries & Professions"], "artistIds":[322115381], "artworkUrl60":"http://a3.mzstatic.com/us/r30/Publication/28/14/a6/mzi.ldakzmdc.60x60-50.jpg", "artworkUrl100":"http://a4.mzstatic.com/us/r30/Publication/28/14/a6/mzi.ldakzmdc.100x100-75.jpg", "artistViewUrl":"http://itunes.apple.com/us/artist/gillian-tett/id322115381?mt=11&uo=4", "trackCensoredName":"Fool's Gold", "trackViewUrl":"http://itunes.apple.com/us/book/fools-gold/id381552960?mt=11&uo=4", "averageUserRating":null, "userRatingCount":null},

+"description":"Throughout the centuries, the Amazon has yielded many of its secrets, but it still holds a few great mysteries. In 1996 experts got their first glimpse of one: a lone Indian, a tribe of one, hidden in the forests of southwestern Brazil. Previously uncontacted tribes are extremely rare, but a one-man tribe was unprecedented. And like all of the isolated tribes in the Amazonian frontier, he was in danger. <P>Resentment of Indians can run high among settlers, and the consequences can be fatal. The discovery of the Indian prevented local ranchers from seizing his land, and led a small group of men who believed that he was the last of a murdered tribe to dedicate themselves to protecting him. These men worked for the government, overseeing indigenous interests in an odd job that was part Indiana Jones, part social worker, and were among the most experienced adventurers in the Amazon. They were a motley crew that included a rebel who spent more than a decade living with a tribe, a young man who left home to work in the forest at age fourteen, and an old-school <I>sertanista <\/I>with a collection of tall tales amassed over five decades of jungle exploration. <P>Their quest would prove far more difficult than any of them could imagine. Over the course of a decade, the struggle to save the Indian and his land would pit them against businessmen, politicians, and even the Indian himself, a man resolved to keep the outside world at bay at any cost. It would take them into the furthest reaches of the forest and to the halls of Brazil&#8217;s Congress, threatening their jobs and even their lives. Ensuring the future of the Indian and his land would lead straight to the heart of the conflict over the Amazon itself. <P><P>A heart-pounding modern-day adventure set in one of the world&#8217;s last truly wild places, <I>The Last of the Tribe <\/I>is a riveting, brilliantly told tale of encountering the unknown and the unfathomable, and the value of preserving it.", "genreIds":["10076", "10120", "10088"], "releaseDate":"2010-06-15T07:00:00Z", "currency":"USD", "trackId":381498847, "trackName":"The Last of the Tribe", "genres":["Latin America", "Social Science", "Nature"], "artistIds":[358483385], "artworkUrl60":"http://a3.mzstatic.com/us/r30/Publication/58/e8/29/mzi.cxsllyyw.60x60-50.jpg", "artworkUrl100":"http://a4.mzstatic.com/us/r30/Publication/58/e8/29/mzi.cxsllyyw.100x100-75.jpg", "artistViewUrl":"http://itunes.apple.com/us/artist/monte-reel/id358483385?mt=11&uo=4", "trackCensoredName":"The Last of the Tribe", "trackViewUrl":"http://itunes.apple.com/us/book/the-last-of-the-tribe/id381498847?mt=11&uo=4", "averageUserRating":5.0, "userRatingCount":1},

+"description":"In the mid-1970s, the Mashantucket Pequot tribe had only one member -- an elderly woman who pleaded with her grandson to come live on the impoverished reservation and save it from falling into government hands upon her death. In <I>Revenge of the Pequots,<\/I> journalist Kim Isaac Eisler tells the remarkable story of how Richard \"Skip\" Hayward, then an unemployed ship-worker, granted his grandmother's dying wish, revived the moribund clan, and transformed the Pequots into the richest and most influential band of Native Americans in history. <P> Established in 1992, Foxwoods Resort and Casino is the world's most profitable gambling establishment, grossing over $1 billion a year at its sprawling complex in the backwoods of Ledyard, Connecticut. Making use of arcane laws and court decisions never intended to benefit Native Americans as they have, Hayward brilliantly laid the groundwork for this staggering economic empire. In a story rife with drama, he challenged a succession of Connecticut governors and such worthy adversaries as casino moguls Steve Wynn and Donald Trump, while forming alliances with Malaysian industrialist Lim Goh Tong, renegade Seminole chief James Billie, and President Bill Clinton. As a result of Hayward's strategizing, for one of the few times in history -- and in a truly ironic reversal -- the bizarre legal structure governing Native Americans actually worked to their advantage in a mainstream enterprise. But the Pequots' meteoric rise to fortune has left many wondering: Is this turnabout fair play? <P> In this riveting rags-to-riches tale, Eisler deftly explores the wide-ranging issues that have framed the great Native American casino debate and the ramifications of the Native American casino boom in a nation still uneasy about its roots.", "genreIds":["10083", "10067", "9009"], "releaseDate":"2001-03-25T08:00:00Z", "currency":"USD", "trackId":381463061, "trackName":"Revenge of the Pequots", "genres":["Law", "Games", "Business & Personal Finance"], "artistIds":[358487470], "artworkUrl60":"http://a1.mzstatic.com/us/r30/Publication/53/f2/31/mzi.hgjghcio.60x60-50.jpg", "artworkUrl100":"http://a1.mzstatic.com/us/r30/Publication/53/f2/31/mzi.hgjghcio.100x100-75.jpg", "artistViewUrl":"http://itunes.apple.com/us/artist/kim-isaac-eisler/id358487470?mt=11&uo=4", "trackCensoredName":"Revenge of the Pequots", "trackViewUrl":"http://itunes.apple.com/us/book/revenge-of-the-pequots/id381463061?mt=11&uo=4", "averageUserRating":null, "userRatingCount":null},
