US Marshal Madison James may not be sure who shot her three months
ago, but she does know one thing--it's time to get back out into
the field. When her partner, Jonas Quinn, receives a message that a
federal warrant just came in on a man connected to a string of bank
robberies, Madison jumps at the chance to get back to work. What
she and Jonas find is a bank robbery in progress that's gone
wrong--and things are about to get worse. For these bank robbers,
it's never been just about the money. It's about taking risks and
adrenaline rushes, and getting caught is not part of the game. When
the suspects escape, Madison and Jonas must hunt them down and
bring them to justice before someone else--someone close to
them--gets hurt . . . or worse. From Seattle to the San Juan
Islands, bestselling author Lisa Harris takes you on a nonstop
chase where feelings are complicated and failure isn't an option.
Developing hand in hand with e-Business in its use of
information and communication technologies (ICTs), e-Government
emerged in the 1990s with the promise of a more accessible,
efficient and transparent form for public institutions to perform
and interact with citizens. The successes-and some critics say,
general failures-of e-Government initiatives around the world have
led to the development of e-Governance-a broader, more encompassing
concept that involves not only public institutions but private ones
as well.
Taking a multidisciplinary approach, this book explores
e-Governance in theory and practice with an analytical narrative
from heterodox perspectives. Covering such essential issues as
global governance of the Internet, the European Knowledge Economy,
the transformative promise of mobile telephony, the rise of
e-Universities, Internet accessibility for the disabled and
e-Governance in transition economies, this book draws on
contributions from experienced academics and practitioners with an
expertise in an emerging field. In addition, each chapter includes
such features as discussion of key issues that draw on case studies
in order to facilitate significant discussion questions.
After a harrowing attempt on a judge's life at the courthouse,
Deputy US Marshals Madison James and Jonas Quinn are tasked with
finding a missing woman and an endangered child in connection to
the murder of the judge's wife. What seems like a fairly
straightforward case becomes hopelessly tangled when the marshals
discover that the woman they are searching for is not who they
think she is. Madison and Jonas are forced into a race to find the
woman and the child before the men who want her dead discover her
location. And in a final showdown that could cost her everything,
Madison will come face-to-face with the person who murdered her
husband. USA Today bestselling author Lisa Harris concludes her
thrilling US Marshals series with this breathless tale of secrets
kept, lies exposed, and ultimately, justice prevailing.

US Marshals Madison James and Jonas Quinn are thrust into a
high-profile case when they are called on to transport two
prisoners across the country on a private plane. But when the plane
experiences engine trouble en route from the Pacific Northwest to
Colorado, the pilots crash-land the aircraft deep in the heart of
the sprawling Salmon-Challis National Forest. When Madison and
Jonas regain consciousness, they find both pilots and one prisoner
dead--and one fugitive on the run. They'll have to negotiate the
rugged and remote backcountry through Idaho, Wyoming, and Colorado
while tracking a murderer who is desperate to disappear--and will
do anything to stop them. This high-octane game of cat-and-mouse
from bestselling and award-winning author Lisa Harris will have
your heart pumping as you try to catch a fugitive with nothing to
lose.

As dot.com became dot.bomb, the hype that surrounded the meteoric
growth of the network economy has given way to realism, or even
scepticism, about the potential of ICT as a source of new business
models. It is now appropriate to reflect critically on the
e-economy hype, and to use this as a way of looking forward to new,
more realistic possibilities. Using a business and socio-economic
framework, this book investigates a range of challenges for
restructuring the e-economy. This framework includes operations
management, human resource management, e-learning, e-retailing,
e-marketing, e-government, enterprise culture and digital divide.
Divided into four themes (the changing business environment,
knowledge management, learning in the public domain and e-business
practices within and between organizations), each chapter considers
the international context and critically explores a key aspect of
the e-economy. Rigorous yet still retaining the accessible format
which distinguishes all the volumes in this series, this book
provides a thorough critique of the prospects facing businesses in
the new economy and will be of interest to anyone studying
e-business/commerce.
This is a comprehensive textbook that considers all of the key business, management and technical issues of e-business. It examines and explains how new technologies provide organizations in both the public and private sector with new ways of doing things. Accessible, jargon free and written by experts, this book uses case studies to illustrate to readers the issues at hand and equipping them with the skills to analyze the changing world in which we work.

Walter Benjamin was fascinated by the impact of new technology on
culture, an interest that extended beyond his renowned critical
essays. From 1927 to '33, he wrote and presented something in the
region of eighty broadcasts using the new medium of radio. Radio
Benjamin gathers the surviving transcripts, which appear here for
the first time in English. This eclectic collection demonstrates
the range of Benjamin's thinking and his enthusiasm for popular
sensibilities. His celebrated "Enlightenment for Children" youth
programs, his plays, readings, book reviews, and fiction reveal
Benjamin in a creative, rather than critical, mode. They flesh out
ideas elucidated in his essays, some of which are also represented
here, where they cover topics as varied as getting a raise and the
history of natural disasters, subjects chosen for broad appeal and
examined with passion and acuity. Delightful and incisive, this is
Walter Benjamin channeling his sophisticated thinking to a wide
audience, allowing us to benefit from a new voice for one of the
twentieth century's most respected thinkers.

Rafael Cerda takes her class hostage for ransom money to save his
brother's life.
Undercover cop Mason Taylor has been working with Rafael to find
his brother and bring the cartel thugs who hold him to justice. Can
he talk Rafael down from his impulsive actions? And is there
something more sinister at work here than he realizes?
"
Fatal Exchange" draws readers into a complex matrix of intertwining
lives and unraveling secrets, where every answer creates more
questions. Romantic suspense fans will hardly want to come up for
air.

Detective Josh Solomon. Though initially skeptical about Caitlyn's
theory, Josh soon realizes that the attack that took his wife's
life was anything but random. Now the two of them must discover the
truth about who is after Caitlyn's team--and what their end game
is--before it's too late. In this nail-biting thriller,
award-winning author Lisa Harris will have you believing that

Aubrey Grayson, a woman he was once in love with. As the search
continues, it becomes clear the senator may not have been the
intended victim--and Aubrey may be connected to the other case Jack
is supposed to be working on. Can Jack untangle the knots before
it's too late? And when he learns the truth, will it be too painful
to get past? Join the hunt for the truth--and a traitor--in this
tension-laden story of secrets, betrayal, and second chances.

No one needs to push Nikki Boyd to excel on the Tennessee Missing
Person Task Force. The case of her own missing sister, still
unsolved after ten years, is the driving force in her work. When a
Polaroid photo of a missing girl shows up at a crime scene, Nikki
quickly recognizes similarities to the past. The closer she gets to
the abductor, the more she feels that this case is getting
personal, and that she is not the hunter at all--but actually the
one being hunted. With this explosive first book in the new Nikki
Boyd Files, Lisa Harris takes readers on a fast-paced pursuit of
justice that will have them holding their breath until the
heart-stopping finish.
