The ancient Egyptians developed an extraordinary culture that produced some of the world's most outstanding art and architecture. Because of its location, it has long been a crossroads between Africa and Europe exerting its influence on both continents. It is a culture that relies on the rising and falling of the Nile River, a lush verdant ribbon of life next to the Sahara Desert, one of the hottest and driest regions on earth. Mr. Gunn journeys from pyramids and temples to monasteries and deserts, to the present as well as to the biblical past in his personal journey through the Land of the Pharaohs, The Desert, and The Nile.
Tenser's Tirades documents the obsession of self-styled author/consultant/evangelist James Tenser with the astonishing phenomenon of dot-com retailing. This collection of 32 essays appeared over a period of about five years in a dozen leading retail trade periodicals. Collectively, they track the early promise, exhilarating rise and stunning demise of born-for-the-Web retailing through a series of snapshots taken in the moment. As one of the earliest observers to grasp and comment upon the unvarnished realities of e-retailing, Tenser was right more often than he was wrong, but as these rants reveal, he never kept his opinions to himself.
