When Diana: Her True Story was initially published in 1992, it was met with a hail of abuse from the British Establishment. As time passed, however, the magnitude of Diana's marital and personal
distres to the greatest doubters, that this book was indeed Diana's
true story; and finally, in 1995, she revealed in a BBC interview that she had indirectly cooperated with Andrew Morton. What has not been known, however, until the publication of this new
edition, is that Diana: Her True Story
was in fact almost entirely based on her own words, supplemented by interviews with her friends. In 1991 and 1992, when this book was first conceived and written, Diana felt trapped and powerless within the royal
family. She knew that the truth about her life was submerged under a mountain of royal propaganda.
Diana: Her True Story chronicles Diana's unhappiness, which began shortly before her wedding day, and reveals the life of a young and beautiful woman who,
trapped in a loveless marriage,
had sunk to the depths of despair; from which recovery seemed impossible. In an act of desperation, she made the decision in 1991 to tell her own story, no matter what the cost. And so she and Andrew Morton began a
collaboration that was to shake the royal family to its foundations
and, eventually, force Diana to seek a new life. Tragically, that new, and briefly happy, life is over. This new edition contains the story of how the book first came into being. What's more,
Diana is able, finally, to tell her own story, in her own words. Its pages contain her own testament -- the closest we will ever come to her autobiography.

"I am a symmetrical man, almost to a fault," Frank Sinatra once said. It is a peculiar statement, because Sinatra is precisely asymmetrical. How to reconcile the enchanting crooner and the explosive bully? What
to make of the smooth
tones of his voice and the rough edges of his persona? To find the true correspondence between the public and the private Sinatra, the artist and the man, is no easy task. John Lahr, drama critic for The New Yorker
has done just this in Sinatra: The Artist and the Man.

In his bestselling book, The Great Boom Ahead, published in 1993, Harry Dent, one of the
world's most prescient economic prognosticators, stood
practically alone in forecasting a new age of prosperity
emerging in the 1990s and extending into the new century.
Dent foresaw a booming stock market, falling mortgage rates,
and the resurgence of America as the premier global economic
superpower. All of his predictions have come to fruition.
Now, in The Roaring 2000s, Dent focuses his visionary eye on
the full spectrum of changes that will follow in the wake of
the burgeoning turn-of-the-century economy. According to
Dent, how and where we work and live is about to change more
drastically than at any time in our history due to the
convergence of the mainstreaming of the Internet and other
technologies and the peak spending years of the aging baby
boomers. This will result in nothing less than the greatest
boom in history and an unprecedented opportunity for
investors and entrepreneurs, great buys in real estate, and
a wealth of high-quality lifestyle choices for the savvy
people who anticipate these changes. We will we such rapid
and exciting change as we have not seen since the dizzying
pace of the productivity revolution unleashed by the
assembly line in the Roaring Twenties. Dent not only offers
detailed investment strategies aimed at exploiting the
coming boom for the next fifteen years but he also explains
future trends in the job market, technology, demographics,
and real estate. He foresees the next great population
migration and explores the radically different business and
organizational structures that will be the offspring of the
Information Age.
At the crux of these changes is the
fundamental shift to a new network model wherein front-line
human "browsers" focus on intimately understanding the needs
of a unique segment of customers and coordinate the products
or expertise of specialized back-line human "servers" to
customize solutions.
