This is one of the most prolific books Terry has written. The information included is based on real investigations into areas most people would not know how to begin getting into.

I know Terry personally, and his abilities as an investigator really come out in his writtings. The information in Mark of the New World Order will help anyone to understand how far we have come toward the full implimentation of Big Brother. Terry writes as well as he speaks, and anyone hearing his seminars would be as excited about his information in person as they would be in reading this highly informative work.Terry, keep up to great work!

I couldn't put it down! Informative, comprehensive, easy-to-read, and well documented, "Mark" is probably the best book I've read on the possibilities of end-time government control. The technology is all ready, and after reading the book, one is compelled to admit that we may be closer than we think to total Big Brother control. Well worth reading.

its one of the best books in this day and age. it tells it like it is. im well pleaseed with this book. it opens up things that i was never aware of with our goverment. and yes its true about this new world order how there all set up now and they been ready. terry talks about controlling and tracking man kind rich or poor old young. this book you have to read. you will know more now than you did all your life after reading this book. the new world order.

It's not usual to devour a cookbook from cover to cover in one sitting, but so thoroughly engaging - and lovely to look at -- is Terry Tan's 'Asian Cook' that I read all 144 pages at once before dashing into my kitchen to check what I needed to make nonya-style pork curry. Nonya cooking, so Tan has taught me, is distinctly Southeast Asian, an exotic blend of ethnic Chinese and Singaporean, Indonesia and Malaysian practices and ingredients. Now I know too that there are seven principal types of cooking styles in Japan (from 'yakimono' which means grilled to 'itememono' meaning sautéed or pan-fried). And that religion has impacted more on the various cuisines of the Indian Sub-Continent than geography.

Indeed, to refer to 'Asian Cook' as a cookbook is to do Tan a grave injustice. This is a lavish but functional compendium of the 'tools and techniques' beloved of cooks of Asian cuisine, be they food writers for the San Francisco Chronicle or top Indian chefs in London. I suspect that if Tan had his way, the kitchenware department would be situated right next to jewellery.

Tan's authority stems from his experience and expertise as a cookery teacher and food historian. He gives us wonderful descriptions of what makes an Asian cook - the historical background and geographical origins that in turn determine the utensils, implements, ingredients (whether fish, fowl or offal) and spices used. Artfully photographed pots, woks, tandoors, cooking tools, accessories and tableware are accompanied by simple but illuminating points and pointers. For example, did you know that for some Asians, knives are considered 'too barbaric to be used at the table' and that they are in any case superfluous, given that 'all ingredients are cut into bite-size pieces during preparation'?

Asian Cook offers a wide-range of easy to follow, relatively inexpensive recipes for the discerning palate, with dishes from yang zhou fried rice to roast chicken madurai masala to bamboo leaf dumplings. But they are here to provide a colourful backdrop - and final flourish -- to the tools and techniques that made them. Tan tells us that Asian chefs have 'always been at the cutting edge when it comes to presentation skills'. I was particularly intrigued by how one produces an 'edible basket' with the right molds (which, surprisingly, are two perforated ladles shaped to fit one inside the other). A prawns in yam basket should go down very nicely at my next supper party. This book is a treasure, if not a secret weapon.

The first thing I should point out is that I'm the author of this book! I have worked in children's bookshops for many years and I realised that there were no Irish cookery books for children so I decided to write one myself. This book has all kinds of delicious and easy recipes for children to cook - from traditional Irish recipes such as potato cakes, to yummy desserts such as banoffi. Also included are safety tips and little stories about the different recipes. There are also cool illustrations and step-by-step guidelines on how to make the recipes. And best off all - it makes cooking fun for even the youngest child of 4+. I hope you enjoy it! Also available is Children's Parties - a book for parents.

A well written, cutting edge reference. Easy to use format, clearly outlining differentials, diagnostics, and referral guidelines. Great patient education sections. Has replaced all my other primary care texts.

Hi, my name is Bryan, originally from Diamond Bar, and I just wanted to say that this book is a 'must-read' for young and old alike. I would just LOVE to meet the author at dinner and just say "thanks for the reminder".... Not only does it empathize with the older reader, it could actually benefit the younger "Generation Y2K" gay male, so young, so immortal, so full of life, wild, eternally youthful and invincible. This book brings it home, and reminds us all that we are all going to get there at some point, that we are all humans and will someday 'grow old'-not too many want to face that thought(especially here in the Glittery-Glamour World that is the gay community. And, when it DOES happen, a book like this really helps out (but why wait til then? ) I was terrified of that thought.....til I read the book....this is essential coffee table material for all....

I knew these kids when they were in college at Cal Poly Pomona. Then, I knew that they'd make something of themselves, but to see them actually put out a book....well, it just brings a tear to my eye...

Reading Friendship Fires was an experience for me. I usally don't read books that are about the wilderness, but this time I did and I'm glad becuase I learned that being advantures in life can bring you to discover many new oportunitys. I liked the way Sam Cook related his advantures with his family and brought them with, threw out is jorneys. This is a man of great character and I enjoyed reading his book.

I took Friendship Fires with me on a recent camping trip to read around the fire.. I am a big fan of Mr. Cook, having read many of his columns in the Duluth News Tribune. This book is a collection of his columns over a number of years. The book is composed of many short "stories" that are put together into the book in a logical fashion. The content of the book is outstanding, and will make you laugh, and will also make you stop sometimes and just contemplate the story. The book makes a great gift for anyone who enjoys the outdoors.

I just can't understand how anyone who has sincerely read this book can find fault with it! It is truly great! In fact, it is the only Christian book available that deals so expertly with the coming Antichrist's international, computerized, Mark-of-the-Beast tracking and identification system. Indeed, There is a wealth of vital information and incredible photographic/pictorial documentation that everyone needs to be aware of.

Yes, a few books have been written previously about the notorious NSA, and one of the best in this respect is Bamford's Puzzle Palace. However, Big Brother NSA is the only book that approaches this subject from a Christian, Biblical, prophetical perspective. And it does so very powerfully to say the least!

The amount of thought, planning, insight, research and writing that went into this book is absolutely phenomenal! I've never seen anything like it before.

Mr. Cook's first book, The Mark of the New World Order, is also a great read! It is the best book I've ever read on the 666 Mark-of-the-Beast and biochip ID implants.

Read both of Terry Cook's books. They will truly bless you. They sure were a powerful education for me and my family!

I have just finished reading this book and feel that it is very informative and thought provocating. In particular, I enjoyed it because the book does not contain a typical bibliographical section. Rather, Mr. Cook has placed all his research references directly into the text. This makes it much easier to read, verify, and digest.

I can't understand how anyone with an open mind can be critical of this work! Every claim mentioned therein is easily verifiable. However, some people don't want to hear the truth no matter how it is told.

I highly recommend this work to anyone seeking insight into where the world is taking us, and how every living person will soon be affected by very powerful, worldly forces.

Many Tools of Big Brother Are Up and Running
By JOHN MARKOFF and JOHN SCHWARTZ

In the Pentagon research effort to detect terrorism by electronically monitoring the civilian population, the most remarkable detail may be this: Most of the pieces of the system are already in place.

Because of the inroads the Internet and other digital network technologies have made into everyday life over the last decade, it is increasingly possible to amass Big Brother-like surveillance powers through Little Brother means. The basic components include everyday digital technologies like e-mail, online shopping and travel booking, A.T.M. systems, cellphone networks, electronic toll-collection systems and credit-card payment terminals.

In essence, the Pentagon's main job would be to spin strands of software technology that would weave these sources of data into a vast electronic dragnet.

Technologists say the types of computerized data sifting and pattern matching that might flag suspicious activities to government agencies and coordinate their surveillance are not much different from programs already in use by private companies. Such programs spot unusual credit card activity, for example, or let people at multiple locations collaborate on a project.

The civilian population, in other words, has willingly embraced the technical prerequisites for a national surveillance system that Pentagon planners are calling Total Information Awareness. The development has a certain historical resonance because it was the Pentagon's research agency that in the 1960's financed the technology that led directly to the modern Internet. Now the same agency - the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, or Darpa - is relying on commercial technology that has evolved from the network it pioneered.

The first generation of the Internet - called the Arpanet - consisted of electronic mail and file transfer software that connected people to people. The second generation connected people to databases and other information via the World Wide Web. Now a new generation of software connects computers directly to computers.

And that is the key to the Total Information Awareness project, which is overseen by John M. Poindexter, the former national security adviser under President Ronald Reagan. Dr. Poindexter was convicted in 1990 of a felony for his role in the Iran-contra affair, but that conviction was overturned by a federal appeals court because he had been granted immunity for his testimony before Congress about the case.

Although Dr. Poindexter's system has come under widespread criticism from Congress and civil liberties groups, a prototype is already in place and has been used in tests by military intelligence organizations.

Total Information Awareness could link for the first time such different electronic sources as video feeds from airport surveillance cameras, credit card transactions, airline reservations and telephone calling records. The data would be filtered through software that would constantly look for suspicious patterns of behavior.

The idea is for law enforcement or intelligence agencies to be alerted immediately to patterns in otherwise unremarkable sets of data that might indicate threats, allowing rapid reviews by human analysts. For example, a cluster of foreign visitors who all took flying lessons in separate parts of the country might not attract attention. Nor would it necessarily raise red flags if all those people reserved airline tickets for the same day. But a system that could detect both sets of actions might raise suspicions.

Some computer scientists wonder whether the system can work. "This wouldn't have been possible without the modern Internet, and even now it's a daunting task," said Dorothy Denning, a professor in the Department of Defense Analysis at the Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey, Calif. Part of the challenge, she said, is knowing what to look for. "Do we really know enough about the precursors to terrorist activity?" she said. "I don't think we're there yet."

The early version of the Total Information Awareness system employs a commercial software collaboration program called Groove. It was developed in 2000 by Ray Ozzie, a well-known software designer who is the inventor of Lotus Notes. Groove makes it possible for analysts at many different government agencies to share intelligence data instantly, and it links specialized programs that are designed to look for patterns of suspicious behavior.

Total Information Awareness also takes advantage of a simple and fundamental software technology called Extended Markup Language, or XML, that is at the heart of the third generation of Internet software. It was created by software designers at companies like Microsoft, Sun Microsystems and I.B.M., as well as independent Silicon Valley programmers.
