Dead certain : the
presidency of George W. Bush
Draper, Robert.
In this press-wary administration, journalist Draper has accomplished a small
miracle: He has knocked on all on the right doors, and thus become the first
author to tell a personality-driven history of the Bush years. With access to
all the key figures of this administration and perhaps 200 other players,
Draper delivers an intimate portrait of a tumultuous decade and a beleaguered
administration, with a special emphasis on how the very personality of this
strong-willed president has affected the outcome of events. Though the
headlines may be familiar, the details, the utterly inside account of how
events transpired will come as fresh reportage to even the most devoted
followers of mainstream media coverage. Draper allows us to witness in complete
granularity the personal force of a president determined to achieve big things,
who confronted the history of his time with what can surely be described as
dead certainty.--From publisher description.

What caused some of the great civilizations of the past to collapse into ruin,

world, Diamond traces a pattern of catastrophe, spelling out what happens when
we squander our resources, when we ignore the signals or environment gives us.
