Book excerpt: za.man*.ya (noun) 1 . time|ia: time land2 . time|mania: madness of time*zaman means time in Turkish, Hebrew, Arabic, Aramaic, and many other Semitic languagesKerim is invited for a job interview. He soon understands that it is not an ordinary company, but Time itself. For centuries, the corporation had developed and marketed concepts like minute, hour, music, calendar, clock, and money. Despite its massive market penetration, Time the company still wants to expand its business. The plan is to attack night and sleep, where time-products are not used properly. Kerim is interviewed as a candidate to lead the Mega Night Project. Twelve locations-San Francisco, Istanbul, Rio de Janeiro, Rome, Buenos Aires, Jamaica, Cape Town, Xochimilco, Venice, Chichen Itza, Greenwich, and Cairo-provide the backdrop. The magical realism is enriched by immortal axolotls, scarabs, weird carnivals, dream watchers, time barcodes, and non-sleepers. In the parallel tale, Kerim's roommate Selim starts the day in Istanbul. He is a white collar worker, a slave of time. Everyday he catches the 7am ferry, starts work at 8am and leaves at 5pm. He eats not because he is hungry but it is 12:30pm. He is always in a race against time. However, he doesn't know where he is headed or what his destination is. Unlike Kerim's remarkable tale, it is an ordinary story based on life, career, expectations, relationships, and self-esteem. Timania blends fiction, fantasy and philosophy while investigating time, immortality, and a quest for joy. It is designed as a lattice of two parallel tales. Although completely dissimilar in theme, genre and narration, they manage to dance through the story. Timania means "time-land" in the first one and "time-mania" in the second. Timania was first published in 2006 in Turkish. The original name was Zamanya. The magical realism is now translated and re-edited for international markets.

Yildirim * 2007 * www.sahinyildirim.com----------------------"...Time-such a valuable treasure hence flowing away, unstoppable. But, when are we going to live it? You better glance at the book named "Timania". You will discover that it is not late to realize things..." Balcicek Pamir * 08.10.06 * Sabah / Daily Newspaper----------------------"...Reading the back cover of the book, people may think that the main characters of the book are Kerim and Selim. The actual readers will find out that the real characters are themselves and how better they use time, their role will be blessed with life..."F. Unal Sen * 27.08.06 * Aksam / Daily Newspaper ----------------------BEARING IMMORTALITY"...The novel is a well-built piece with a sense of satirizing today, setting the political attributions and most importantly, not neglecting the action..."Erkan Canan * 30.06.06 * Radikal Kitap / Leading Literature Magazine ----------------------TIMANIA, SHELTERING SKY, AMIN MAALOUF"...Thomas Mann uses the city as a background in his novel "Death in Venice".

"Gregory Smith has written the definitive work on how to achieve leadership success in IT. This well-written and carefully researched book is a must-read for any IT professional with aspirations toward the top IT spot. Years from now, seasoned IT leaders will be crediting Smith's book with playing a role in their success." —Martha Heller, Managing Director, IT Leadership Practice, Z Resource Group, and cofounder, CIO Executive Council "Wow! Put all the tips, advice, and strategies in this book to use now. The road to the top is rarely straight—follow Gregory's advice and the path will reveal itself to you!" —John R. Sullivan, CIO, AARP "While most professions have a distinct road map to the top, there is no standard career path to becoming a CIO. Smith addresses this unique challenge and provides aspiring CIOs with encouragement, advice, and essential skills based on years of his own and other CIOs' cumulative experience -- an important effort for the profession that Smith's fellow members in the CIO Executive Council embrace and applaud." —Mark Hall, General Manager of the CIO Executive Council "Teaching students what a CIO really does has been tough. We've had to choose between anecdotal treatments based on trade press articles and integrated academic frameworks that offer little in the way of lived experiences. Greg's book fixes that. By organizing interviews with leading technology executives, trade press reports, and his own experiences as a CIO, he provides an organized and comprehensive view of the job and its important role in modern organizations." —Fred Collopy, PHD, Professor and Chair of Information Systems and Professor of Cognitive Science, Case Western Reserve University

Book excerpt: The New York Times bestselling Nina Reilly novels have dazzled both readers and critics with their crackling blend of legal suspense and taut human drama. Now Perri O'Shaughnessy, hailed as "smart", "gripping", and "complex" by the San Francisco Chronicle, brings us her best--and most explosive--Nina Reilly novel yet. Amid the sparkling snow-swept mountains of Lake Tahoe, Nina Reilly has made a home, juggling the demands of her one-woman law practice and raising a teenage son alone. Now Nina has taken on a case that will threaten everything she holds dear, drawing her into a tangled web of loyalties and alliances within one of Lake Tahoe's most prominent families. Her client: a man accused of murdering his own brother--on the ski slopes of Tahoe. The law says Nina must give Jim Strong the best possible defense. But Strong's family has turned violently against him, and suddenly Nina is at the center of the storm. As she works a flawed and troubling case and gets swept into an unexpected love affair, the two sides of Nina's life come crashing together...in the ultimate act of malice.
