Spartan Sagas: Tamera Hill, Success on her own terms
As president and CEO of a technology consulting firm, Tamera Hill knows the value of a dollar -- and of staying true to herself.

Terror and Consent: The Wars for the Twenty-First Century
The threat of terrorism is now part of the landscape of daily lives all over the world, yet we have hardly begun to think properly about it.
