The millennium is here. Barbie World has opened in Vegas. Charles Manson's parole hearing is on live TV. And George and Lizzie are a Manhattan power couple with three kids in private school and take-out from Hiroshima Boy waiting at the door. Lizzie owns a software start-up. George is a TV producer. With cell phones tickling their thighs and gossip buzzing in their ears, their future couldn't be brighter. Until, that is, Lizzie cuts a deal with George's boss and gets an office twenty-one floors above her husband's ... Until all the glitter and the hype threaten to destroy George's and Lizzie's sanity and their marriage ... Until the only thing that can save them is a little understanding -- at a time when everyone is talking but no one can hear a thing.
In his brash, brilliant first novel, media insider Kurt Andersen casts a penetrating eye on our giddy, media-obsessed era. With a keen sense of irony and a storyteller's grace, the co-founder of Spy magazine weaves a tale that is at once a biting satire of America in the near future and a wickedly incisive portrait of marriage, family, love, and friendship. A crackling, cybercharged joyride through our millennium, Turn of the Century is pure, eye-popping entertainment.
Lead-Free Soldering
The push toward lead-free components and in turn lead-free soldering in all computers, cell phones and other electronic devices has taken on a greater urgency in as laws have been passed and are pending in the United States, the European Union and Asia which ban lead and lead-bearing solder. These new restrictions on hazardous substances are changing the way electronic devices are assembled and specifically affect process engineering, manufacturing and quality assurance.
This book offers in a single volume a broad collection of practical techniques for lead-free soldering design and manufacture, which up to now have been scattered in difficult-to-find scholarly sources. The book includes the latest information on proposed changes to lead-free standards, and up-to-date analysis of government and legislative activities and regulations in North America, Europe and Asia.

Momentum: Igniting Social Change in the Connected Age
A new and empowering way of looking at and organizing social change! How can we move from serving soup until our elbows ache to solving chronic social ills like hunger or homelessness? How can we break the disastrous cycle of low expectations that leads to chronic social failures?
The answers to these questions lie within "Momentum," a fresh, zestful way of thinking about and organizing social change work. Today's digital tools— including but not limited to e-mail, the Web, cell phones, personal digital assistants (PDAs), even iPods— promote interactivity and connectedness. But as "Momentum" shows, these new social media tools are important not for their wizardry but because they connect us to one another in "inexpensive," "accessible," and "massively scalable" ways.
