In response to the recent flap over Amazon.com's patents, I've decided to no longer actively link to them for books. As a replacement I've chosen Powell's Books (http://www.powells.com). Powell's is a "click and mortar" business, with both an online division and huge physical presence (one square block building in downtown Portland, OR) that sells new and used books. As an added benefit, Powell's offers more ways to link to their collection. I can, for example, link to a book by the author:(Isabel Allende), or keyword: (latin america literature), or ISBN: (185242592X Roberto Arlt's The Seven Madmen, or Section: World Religions, or Subsection: Geography - Mapping and Cartography.> The 5K award: All HTML, script, image, style, and any other associated files must collectively total less than 5 kilobytes in size and be entirely self-contained (employing no server-side processing).
