	Empire (book) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In general, the book theorizes an ongoing transition from a "modern" phenomenon of imperialism, centered around individual nation-states, to an emergent postmodern construct created amongst ruling powers which the authors call Empire (the capital letter is distinguishing).
		Hence, the Empire is constituted by a monarchy (the United States and the G8, and international organizations such as NATO, the IMF or the WTO), an oligarchy (the multinational corporations and other nation-states) and a democracy (the various NGOs and the United Nations).
		Furthermore, the crisis is conceived as inherent to the Empire.

	Empire
		Antonio Negri is described on the book jacket as "an independent researcher and writer and an inmate at Rebibbia Prison, Rome." Negri's crime was armed insurrection against the Italian state; the state had fingered him as the secret leader of the Red Brigades in the 1970s, an implausible charge he has always denied.
		By contrast, the age of Empire is one of deregulation and the promotion of trade and capital flows - all designed to encourage competition, technological innovation, and the integration of the world into a single market.
		We claim that Empire is better in the same way that Marx insists that capitalism is better than the forms of society and modes of production that came before it.

	Harvard University Press: Empire by Michael Hardt
		Empire is a sweeping history of humanist philosophy, Marxism and modernity that propels itself to a grand political conclusion: that we are a creative and enlightened species, and that our history is that of humanity's progress towards the seizure of power from those who exploit it.
		This sprawling book is filled with original ideas and analyses, including some well-aimed critiques of postmodernism, dependency theory, world systems theory, anti-imperialism, and localism-and there is much more besides to stimulate the reader…this is an exciting and provocative book whose depth and richness can only be hinted at in so brief a review.
		Empire is a stunningly original attempt to come to grips with the cultural, political, and economic transformations of the contemporary world.

	Empire by Niall Ferguson
		Ferguson is an economist and historian at New York University and Oxford, and his latest book is "Empire: The Rise and Demise of the British World Order and the Lessons for Global Power," a comprehensive history of how the British came to rule the world.
		That the British Empire was, on balance, "a good thing" is a provocative idea, the sort that has made Ferguson a celebrity in the U.K. Ferguson has written six books during the past eight years, and he has often thrilled in presenting novel twists to what others in the academy consider settled historical fact.
		The British historian Edward Chaney famously called the book "a tribute to the empire," and Roy, as she is wont to do when faced with any question over her stance on imperialism, lashed out, telling a London radio station that the only reason she spoke English was because she had been forced to.

	Amazon.co.uk: Empire: How Britain Made the Modern World: Books: Niall Ferguson (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
		The book is brilliant and persuasive on trade and buccaneering before 1750, on India, on the late Victorian imperial mentalité, and on the two world wars, but less convincing on the empire of white settlement, and strangely silent on the most difficult colony of all, Ireland.
		The strength of this book is that it moves beyond apologetics or condemnation of imperialism and the merely descriptive (one damned colony after another as George II might have said) into a genuine and insightful analysis.
		Aspects of the empire which people would prefer to forget (notably slavery) are dealt with honestly and fairly, and the overall aims of the empire as it first established are excellently detailed.

	The EmpirePage.com - Book Reviews
		This book is unique because we are seeing Churchill through the eyes of a consummate insider and one of Britain’s preeminent biographers, having authored books on Gladstone, Asquith, and Atlee.
		This book is a sweeping account that will detail for you the enormous talent of Winston Churchill to move himself to center stage of literary world, Parliament, Cabinet, 10 Downing Street and finally the world stage.
		When I stared writing this book I thought that Gladstone was, by narrow margin, the greater man, certainly the more remarkable specimen of humanity.

	ReadingGroupGuides.com - Empire Falls by Richard Russo
		Dominated by the Whiting family, the founders of the three mills that provided employment for most of the town's residents, Empire Falls finds itself in sharp decline at the turn of the twenty-first century.
		Whiting's just barely profitable Empire Grill, the soon-to-be ex-husband of Janine (who has left him for the slick owner of the flashy new health club), and the proud father of Tick, a bright, loving teenager.
		Whiting's promise to bequeath him the restaurant, Miles stoically submits to her arbitrary, often humiliating demands—until the accidental discovery of a family secret shocks him into a troubling reevaluation of his life and the small town that shaped it.

	Colossus: The Price of America's Empire Parameters - Find Articles
		Nevertheless, the reader is compelled to accept this definition, because the author refers to the United States as an empire throughout the remainder of the book.
		The title of the book is taken in part from an aphorism in which Thomas Jefferson compares the United States to Europe.
		From that contrast, one logically concludes that America is not an empire in denial; it is simply not an empire.

	A Letter to Congress - Read Empire of Debt
		Well, loved it in the way you can love a book that tells you history is all for naught and the financial world as we know it is coming to an end (at least they smiled when they said that, in a bemused kind of way).
		Empire of Debt is best described as ironically humorous… scornful… mocking… its conclusions are based in historical reasoning which read in a clear and consistent manner.
		Empire of Debt is filled with chilling information that wakes the reader up from the hallucination of the belief in economic bliss and visions of a never ending credit and borrowing.

	The American Empire Project
		Since the tragic events of September 11 and the commencement of the "war on terror," the relationship between U.S. policy in the Middle East and the oceans of crude oil that lie beneath the region's soil has come under close scrutiny.
		The empire seems unassailable, but the empire is weak -- and precisely because of its imperial ambitions.
		So argues Walden Bello in his provocative new book, which systematically dissects the strategic, economic, and political dilemmas confronting America as a consequence of its quest for global domination.

		"Empire", which is now going on five years, attempts in its atmospheric prose to elucidate a totalizing world view of the future of the global economy.

	The Armchair Empire - Book Review: Game Design - Secrets of the Sages
		The entire books flow easily from one chapter to the next but can just as easily be used as bathroom reading.
		Flipping the book open at random never fails to present something interesting that can be read in one sitting.
		It’s also one of those books that could be updated every five years to keep the references current.

	About the Book -- SECRET EMPIRE
		There were few rules, little paperwork, and accounting procedures that would doubtless give congressional committees a fit today, but somehow it all worked smoothly in the 1950s.
		On the other hand, Taubman notes, the "secret empire" of agencies created to develop and control space espionage became large, cumbersome bureaucracies that stifled innovation and drained money from other espionage activities, including the recruitment and training of field agents.
		Timely, authoritative, and news-making, SECRET EMPIRE is a comprehensive and engaging history of one of the landmark periods in American technology, enterprise, and defense.

	Mormon Corporate Empire book review - SHIELDS
		The term "anti-Mormon" is appropriate because the book is designed to leave a bad taste about the church in the reader's mouth through the misuse and misinterpretation of evidence.
		The book's errors show that the authors either aren't knowledgeable, or aren't concerned with the accurate depiction of LDS history and beliefs.
		This book belongs in the corpus of pseudo-scholarly works which claim to be the latest in sociological research about the LDS church.

	The Armchair Empire - Book Reviews: Masters of Doom
		After putting the book down I couldn’t escape the idea that Carmack is a borderline psychopath with a high IQ – a real-life foil for Batman or James Bond – or some kind of advanced robot (powered by pizza and diet Coke) sent from the future to alter the past.
		Up until reading the book, I figured he was just a misunderstood artist/hacker, lacking social graces, that worked in programming languages instead of oils or clay.
		Without a doubt, anyone even with a passing interest in gaming – PC gaming in particular – should read this book because it’s not just about two guy named John and their relationship, it’s about how games are made and presents the idea that every company and game out there has a history.

	Herodian: "History of the Empire" Book V
		Some get possession of the empire as though it were an inheritance they were owed; then they misuse and make a mockery of it like a private family heirloom.
		Rome itself and nearly the whole of the Roman empire was purged of criminals; some were punished, some were exiled and, if some actually escaped, they were careful not to advertise themselves.
		After only one year of a life of ease as emperor it was obviously inevitable that Macrinus would lose the empire, and his life too, whenever chance provided a small, trivial excuse for the soldiers to have their way.

	Empire. - book reviews Washington Monthly - Find Articles
		Shortly before I began Empire, I made the mistake of picking up a Washington Post profile of Vidal in which he explained how the world is run by a cabal of bankers and publishers.
		Although Empire takes place at the turn of the century, a traumatic period of mass immigration and industrialization, those forces are rarely mentioned.
		Much of Empire is devoted to the presidencies of William McKinley and Theodore Roosevelt, a time when the U.S. flexed its industrial and military muscles from Cuba to the Philippines.

	The Empire does not exist - a critique of Toni Negri's ideas
		The book, which was written at the end of the 1990s, had already been published in many other countries and had attracted a high level of interest in academic circles all around the world, triggering much heated debate within the European Left itself.
		The book's main premise is that the era of "Imperialism" is over and that we are now living in era of the so-called "Empire".
		The USA is not the head of the Empire, but only a very specific component of the latter, therefore when it acts, whether militarily or economically, it supposedly acts in the interests of the Empire.

		He is the author of the book, Empire Burlesque: The Secret History of the Bush Regime.
		The book tells the tale in real-time: a view from the ground as it was happening, before the inevitable spin, revisionist history and public amnesia set in.
		Although the subject matter is often grim, the pieces are written in vibrant prose, combining the urgency of journalism with an essayist's feel for language, mixing humour, satire, outrage and passion.

	RE: Empire book club
		The book contains the words and wisdom of King Jayavarman VII, the Buddhist ruler who united a war-torn Cambodia in the twelfth century and together with his enlightened wife created a kingdom that was a haven of peace and learning.
		I got a copy of the book this afternoon when I was looking for somewhere warm to hang out (idiot here decided it was "too sunny for a coat" and not only froze all day, but also left her keys at home!).
		The book details the interviews that he had with the victims/survivors (60 in all).

	Empire
		Empire admittedly introduces new forms of capitalist command and exploitation, but it is 'objectively' an ally of the revolution ('liberation') not only because it destroys the remnants of the old order but because it contains the germ of another form of globalization: the counter-Empire of global communism that will be made possible by demographic change."
		Alan Wolfe wrote a devastating critique of Hardt and Negri's book in The New Republic ('The Snake,' 10/01/01).
		Instead he has argued that violence is built into all the institutions and all the practices of capitalism, as if to conclude that because society itself is so violent, one can hardly be surprised that its opponents tend in that direction as well.

	Book Review: Empire of Debt
		Their dry humor, sometimes self-deprecating and sometimes sardonic, may be off-putting to some, especially when its target is an admired figure, but the wit helps the bad news go down, and helps one wade through the sometimes repetitious 300-plus pages.
		And make no mistake, the news is bad: America's empire of debt has been a long time in the making, and according to some, appears to be on the edge of collapsing.
		If you're a regular reader of their Daily Reckoning newsletter, Empire of Debt may not pack as strong a punch, as the points have probably been presented there, perhaps as frequently as they're repeated in the book.

		Then there's the Eubian Concord itself, the Trader Empire, a shadowy but by the end of the book anything but shadowy presence in the background, a threat against which the Imperialate must be forever vigilant.
		The acceptance of bio-technical augmentation, an essential part of those who serve the Empire in the military or as operators and controllers of the Kyle web, is contrasted with the distaste of such artificial enhancements felt by the 'simpler' folk of Lyshriol, who nevertheless depend on it to maintain their health.

	Tracy & Laura Hickman, Mystic Empire -- Book Three of the Bronze Canticles
		In my reviews for Mystic Warrior and Mystic Quest, I believed that the Hickmans were building a fantasy trilogy encompassing the adventures of the humans, faeries, and goblins, and their various interactions within the world of dreams.
		However, with the third volume, Mystic Empire, the story is left hanging in the air, leaving plenty of space for several future volumes.
		Each new installment in the Bronze Canticles series takes place some time in the future with a new cast of main characters (with the exception of Dwynwyn, who has remained a prominent figure in all three books), giving the reader three books that are generally able to stand on their own.
