Описание: "Told with authority and style. . . Crisply summarizing the Adamses' legacy, the authors stress principle over partisanship."--The Wall Street JournalHow the father and son presidents foresaw the rise of the cult of personality and fought those who sought to abuse the weaknesses inherent in our democracy. Until now, no one has properly dissected the intertwined lives of the second and sixth (father and son) presidents. John and John Quincy Adams were brilliant, prickly politicians and arguably the most independently minded among leaders of the founding generation. Distrustful of blind allegiance to a political party, they brought a healthy skepticism of a brand-new system of government to the country's first 50 years. They were unpopular for their fears of the potential for demagoguery lurking in democracy, and--in a twist that predicted the turn of twenty-first century politics--they warned against, but were unable to stop, the seductive appeal of political celebrities Thomas Jefferson and Andrew Jackson. In a bold recasting of the Adamses' historical roles, The Problem of Democracy is a major critique of the ways in which their prophetic warnings have been systematically ignored over the centuries. It's also an intimate family drama that brings out the torment and personal hurt caused by the gritty conduct of early American politics. Burstein and Isenberg make sense of the presidents' somewhat iconoclastic, highly creative engagement with America's political and social realities. By taking the temperature of American democracy, from its heated origins through multiple upheavals, the authors reveal the dangers and weaknesses that have been present since the beginning. They provide a clear-eyed look at a decoy democracy that masks the reality of elite rule while remaining open, since the days of George Washington, to a very undemocratic result in the formation of a cult surrounding the person of an elected leader.
India is home to one of the richest and most diverse populations of wildlife of any territory on earth, including lions, multiple species of tigers and leopards, many species of deer, the Indian elephant, the rhinoceros and a great multitude of reptiles and birds. At the beginning of the British Raj (1858) Indian wildlife populations were largely intact--some estimate that there were up to 100,000 tigers in the territory alone.
The following 100 years, however, saw this rich heritage greatly depleted. A swelling native population combined with the British colonial passion for big game hunting wreaked havoc on all Indian wildlife. By the mid 20th century the tiger population was reduced to less than 2,000 animals and a number of other important species had been driven to extinction. Indian and international efforts in the past several decades have attempted to arrest, if not reverse the damage and at present India hosts some 515 wildlife sanctuaries and 18 biosphere reserves.
The present volume, aside from providing a fascinating historical travalogue, presents a sampling of what Indian wildlife consisted of in the mid 19th century, prior to the devastation that was to follow. As such it is a fascinating read for all with interest in the ecology and history of the Subcontinent.

Описание: Book Summary The United States political climate is prime for attack from enemies outside and within. Two of the world's most dangerous "Axis of Evil," Iran and North Korea, coordinate a nuclear missile attack designed to drive the United States to its knees. Prestaged groups of coordinated and well-trained terrorist leaders lie waiting throughout the United States. One group of radicals attacks Washington, DC, with a truck bomb to start the war. Orders sent to other terrorist leaders around the country start the assembly of small armies of haters, who aim to destroy what remains after the carnage of the nuclear attacks. A critically injured president lies in a coma. Many high-ranking politicians are dead or missing. A high-altitude EMP (electromagnetic pulse) detonated successfully over Northern California destroys the power grids, electronics, and modern automobiles throughout the Western United States. Secret plans created in advance by Homeland Security are the only salvation for the devastated, desperate, and stranded population. The attack activates the plan known as the Macro Event (Mass Casualty Relocation Operation). The extensive, well-thought MACRO Event plans must now deal with millions of stranded, hungry, angry Americans now living in darkness. Lee Andrew Garrett awakes in his hotel room in Las Vegas, finding the twenty-four-hour city of light dark and panic-stricken. Thousands of locals and tourists have few choices except to fight for survival. Lee Garrett's obsession with Domesday preparation is now his salvation. He quickly gathers his supplies and makes a dangerous trek out of Sin City. Jake Rodriguez is winning big when the lights go out. The army soldier on leave from Fort Irwin California, also knows getting out of Vegas is paramount. Not as well-prepared but a soldier, Jake also finds danger as he moves quickly west toward his base in the Mohave Desert. Surrounded by armed crazies taking advantage of the devastation and confusion, Jake finds himself facing sure death. Lee Garrett becomes his unlikely but lucky salvation. United, the two men continue their escape from Vegas into the desert toward the remote army base. The arrive at Fort Irwin, where they learn just how bad the attack has been. Spread way too thin, the government must somehow find ways to deal with the millions of expected refugees. Lee Garrett's knowledge of his hometown makes him a valuable asset to one of many small teams needed for control of the choke points out of Los Angeles. The small town of Agua Dulce lies directly in the path of desperate people trying to flee the chaos of the big city. Lee agrees to join a small force of soldiers. Flown to Agua Dulce on military choppers, Lee and Jake build a small but capable force of professionals and volunteers. The soldiers, police, and volunteers band together, helping the needy and fighting those who wreak havoc. The situation goes from difficult to worse when a major terrorist cell heads toward Agua Dulce, setting the stage for a major battle between good and evil. The story does not end with this first book.
