Global Text
We maintain the chapters for all books in open document format with extensive use of style sheets so that we can then quickly convert them into different media or formats very quickly. These books have been internationalized and converted to the Global Text Project standard format.

• Basic Political Concepts (Paul deLespinasse)
• Electronic Commerce: The Strategic Perspective (2nd edition, release 1)
