On the internet there are a lot of 2012 Ebooks now a days but a lot of them are not even worth looking at, so which one is the best? Read on and find out what exactly can be found written in those Ebooks.

I'm sure you know and feel it yourself. There is something happening in 2012. There are some facts, theories as well as some reliable predictions about the 2012. But the hardest thing to figure out is what is the truth and what not? To get an idea of what will happen, you will need to learn all about the Mayan calendar, Niburu, Nostradamus, crop circles etc. Many ebooks mentions the following topics and questions that are related to the 2012 subject:

- The Inca people and their 2012 prophecy.
- Is our Universe going to get sucked into the black hole in the center of our galaxy?
- Will a pole shift occur in 2012? What if it does happen, what are the consequences?
- What are the Annunaki? Will they come in 2012?

Why is it of great importance to know about these topics? It doesn't make sense on first sight as these are so diverse. In the end they can be all related to each other which might have the outcome of what is going to happen. If The earth will end in 2012 we cannot say for sure but it is definitely interesting to learn about all there is concerning 2012 in order to be prepared if something does happen.

Cyber War the Next Threat to National Security and What to Do About It

Book Review: Cyber War - The next threat to national security and what to do about it by Richard A. Clarke

Two of the most talked about issues are probably China and the cyber war. When it comes to both these issues, there seems to be developing some kind of a strong connection between the two with China's fast development and progress in all areas. Richard Clarke, who served as a counterterrorism to Presidents Bill Clinton and George W. Bush, turned his attention to a new potential security catastrophe which is terrorism through computers.

In his book on cyber war, he provides an insight on the issue and will probably change the way people think about China. It is anyway very tough to understand all aspects of cyber war without studying the political angle to it. Clarke highlights three most terrifying concepts in his book. They are as follows:

US pioneered cyber war:

Cyber warfare technology is not something new. It was used by the US in their war against the Soviet Union in the 1980s. In collaboration with the Canadian government, they inserted a logic bomb into their software which sabotaged the Russian pipeline operations. It resulted in the biggest non-nuclear explosion ever. During the Gulf War, China paid very close attention to US's warfare marked by high and advanced technology. They changed their own military strategy and started investing more in the battlefield of computers.

Economic warfare:

Billions of dollars is spent on funding the research. But with advanced technology and a few mouse clicks, China can steal these and take the results to the market. Most of America's corporate world remains unsecured and unprotected against these threats.

When technology is disadvantaged:

Economic disadvantages can often be converted into military advantages as in the case of North Korea and other nations that have minimal computer based infrastructure. After the Gulf war, China came up with a book describing how such countries can have an upper hand in the case of cyber war. Hence, in the example of North Korea, it proves how it could have the upper hand because it doesn't have computer infrastructure that could be turned off.

Cyber War has started the debate about the "new threat to national security" this simple to understand book will appeal to all readers but political and tech junkies and also futurologists and war heads will receive a stimulating fix.

Critical - What We Can Do About the Health-Care Crisis

I had high hopes for this book. Except for the one innovative idea, the creation of a Federal Health Board, this was an average book compared to the many available which detail the challenges of our dysfunctional healthcare system far better. The book is an easy read, doesn't cover much in depth, but highlights all of the key points one needs to know to speak intelligently about the healthcare system (and presumably to be Secretary of Health and Human Services).

It is unclear whether creation of a Federal Health Board will be able to provide the impetus needed to make the American healthcare system higher quality, less costly, and more inclusive with universal coverage. One thing is clear from his book and that is Americans want a better healthcare system than currently exists. It won't be a pure single payer government run system. It won't be a free market private industry program. It will be a hybrid. What type of hybrid? Time will tell.

The book is divided into five parts. Part One details the healthcare system in crisis filled with individual anecdotes on how it has bankrupted, failed, and at times killed people without adequate insurance coverage or financial means to pay for care.

Part Two talks about the history of healthcare reform, which covers the beginning of the twentieth century. It highlights efforts by President Truman, Medicare and Medicaid legislation, as well as attempts in the 1970s, 1980s, and the early 1990s.

In Part Three, Daschle looks at why reform hasn't occurred. He begins to build his case for creating a new entity, a Federal Health Board, which is modeled after the Federal Reserve as well as the British National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE).

Part Four he focuses in on how the Federal Health Board would be structured (a central board with several regional boards). As an independent body, it would recommend that only medications, treatments, and procedures backed by medical evidence and not by marketing be covered under government run insurance plans. It would also determine what criteria and benefits private insurers must offer to participate in expansion of the FEHBP (Federal Employees Health Benefits Plan). This new market would insure those unable to get employer-based or government run insurance programs currently.

Finally in Part Five, he makes the case on the likelihood for healthcare reform.

The best part of the book is Senator Daschle's perspective on the healthcare reform attempt by the Clinton administration, particularly how excitement and momentum moved the country towards reform only to see external events, special interest groups, as well as political missteps, caused it to die. Without a doubt, future leaders who hope to forward any healthcare reform package would best learn what not what to do.

The Ruling Class - How They Corrupted America and What We Can Do About It

Book Review - The Ruling Class, how they corrupted America and what we can do about it by Angelo M. Codevilla

For decades experts have been discussing and debating about how important or vital it is to understand "power elite analysis" in order to fully comprehend the working of the American society. The events that make up the parts of history are not random or unconnected but have a political and economic aspect to them which can be sought out using one's intellect.

The American founding fathers realized this and they knew it well enough to see that it was the truth.

From all the books I have consulted that deals with this issue, I have not come across any other work that states this with more clarity and eloquence than this new book. It is vital that all who feel the need to join hands in the making of America's future should read it and share it with family, friends and acquaintances.

The grounds on which this book is based upon is the original article that was written in the American Spectator. This is one of the most concrete and vital essays written on the subject, which he then later expanded upon in this book.

After reading the book, I began to finally grasp the significance of the communist manifesto to inspire like minded individuals.

This great work of Codevilla has to be one of the books of our time. It is a brilliant piece of academic work which will be inspiring and a motivating factor for generations of Americans to come and draw their attention to the society in which they live and the country they need to make proud. This book is not only for Americans but also for the us who need to go back into their past and strive to better the future of our respective nations.

Angelo's book, The ruling class is a very fluent, intellectual and refreshing analysis of America. This eye opening book truly epitomizes the phrase "Its not what you know, but who you know".
