This account of the Lakota Indians traces their rich and often surprising history from the early sixteenth to the early twenty-first century. Pekka Hamalainen explores the Lakotas' roots as marginal hunter-gatherers and reveals how they reinvented themselves twice: first as a river people who dominated the Missouri Valley, America's great commercial artery, and then -- in what was America's first sweeping westward expansion -- as a horse people who ruled supreme on the vast high plains. Red Cloud, Crazy Horse, and Sitting Bull are iconic figures in the American imagination, but in this book they emerge as something different: the architects of Lakota America, an expansive and enduring Indigenous regime that commanded human fates in the North American interior for generations.

The potential for high returns in high-tech investing is immense: a $10,000 investment in Cisco in 1990 could yield $1,285,000 today, while Microsoft could turn that same amount into over $1,800,000. But how can you, as a non-insider, access these lucrative opportunities? This guide provides the essential rules for navigating the high-tech stock market and identifying future market leaders, or "gorillas," that will dominate their sectors, much like Microsoft and Cisco do today. By following the strategies outlined, you'll learn to spot promising "gorilla candidates" early, while their stocks are still undervalued, and invest wisely as they compete for market dominance. As the market settles and a clear leader emerges, you’ll be positioned to reap significant rewards. This work combines insights from bestselling author Geoffrey A. Moore, a top consultant in high-tech marketing, with contributions from Wall Street analyst Paul Johnson and successful investor Tom Kippola. Together, they reveal the strategies that can help you identify high-growth markets, diversify your investments among potential leaders, and ultimately focus on the single emerging gorilla as the market matures.
In his book INTELLECTUALS (1988) Paul Johnson asked whether intellectuals were morally fit to give advice to humanity (no, was the usual answer). In contrast, this book is about the creative and heroic side of outstanding individuals.There are many themes but no typical creator. Courage is always required, and self-confidence. Some never lacked recognition or sales, like Turner and Victor Hugo, Picasso and Durer. For others, like Bach or Jane Austen, the scale of their achievement was unrecognised in their lifetime. Luck can play a crucial part - as in Worsdworth's meeting with Coleridge and T.S. Eliot's with Ezra Pound (Eliot needed strong martinis too). Ruthlessness is important too - Mark Twain was not even his own pseudonym, he pinched it from another Mississippi-pilot-turned-writer who he savaged so severely he gave up writing. If there is no one typical creator, there is a common theme: putting excellence before any other consideration. Walt Disney and Christian Dior did this in their own way as surely as Chaucer or Shakespeare, William Morris or Turner.
