Jerry L Simich, Thomas C. Wright - The Peoples Of Las Vegas, One City, Many Faces (2005).jpg

Las Vegas is known the world over as an oasis of entertainment in the Nevada desert, but to more than a million people of exceptionally varied origins, it is also home. Yet this city is rarely mentioned in studies of ethnicity or immigration, and the rich diversity of its population is largely invisible to Las Vegans and visitors alike.

Such ignorance can be partly explained by the effects of the city’s rapid growth. Las Vegas largely lacks traditional ethnic neighborhoods, and the restaurants and markets that cater to its diverse population groups are mostly hidden away in anonymous strip malls. Nonetheless, a remarkable variety of nationalities and ethnic groups has been drawn here since the city’s beginnings in 1905, and today Las Vegas’s vital service industry, entrepreneurial opportunities, reasonable cost of living, and appeal as a retirement center attract many more. Recent world events and international currents of immigration have only enhanced this diversity.

In The Peoples of Las Vegas, seventeen scholars profile thirteen of the ethnic groups that make up their city’s population. The book’s introduction provides a historical and demographic context for the kaleidoscope of ethnicity that helps define Las Vegas today and analyzes the economic and social conditions that make Las Vegas so attractive to recent immigrants. The individual contributors--most of whom are members of the groups they write about, and who come from a broad array of disciplines--discuss the motivations and processes of their group’s migration to Las Vegas, economic pursuits, institutions and other means of preserving and transmitting their culture, involvement with the broader community, ties with their homelands, and recent demographic trends affecting each group. This collection of essays provides a provocative look into the vibrant ethnic life that lies just beneath the glittering surface of one of America’s most unusual cities.

J. Donald Smith - Right-to-Die Policies in the Ame rican States (2002).jpg

Examining policy reinvention and the interaction between state courts and legislatures, Smith offers a general theory of "permissive" or "morality-based" policy adoption and tests hypotheses by examining state adoption of right-to-die policies (living will laws, durable power of attorney statutes, and surrogate decision making rules). The results of statistical (event history) models and comparative case studies indicate that controversial policy adoption is a function of political, institutional, regional, and vertical influences. Different factors dominate policy making in the judicial and legislative branches of the state governments. Smith's is one of the first studies to explicitly model the interplay between these two types of institutions during the policy diffusion process.

United States Presidents - Bob Italia - Election 2 000, A Lesson in Civics (2001).jpg

Gr 1-3-The brief biography of President Bush covers the basics adequately for report writers. The format is inviting, and includes many clear, color and black-and-white photographs and charts. Election 2000 is more problematic. Divided into two sections, it first describes the election and the legal wrangling that followed. Care was taken to maintain an objective tone in describing all of the various lawsuits. Part II, "A Lesson in Civics," explains many terms children will have heard in election coverage. It offers a simple description of the electoral college; the role of primaries and caucuses; and how a bill becomes a law, highlighting the role of the president.

Kenneth Silverman - Begin Again, A Biography of Jo hn Cage (2010).jpg

John Cage, whose pieces dazzled and confounded audiences for six decades, hardly seems the easiest of subjects for the biographer, but this is a well-researched, coherent, quite readable account of the composer and his work. What comes across is a man who was ferociously driven to create music and to promote it to those who could most effectively advance it. Cage was an iconoclast, yet he developed relationships—often symbiotic—with some of the iconic artists of the past century, including Arnold Schoenberg, Jasper Johns, Marcel Duchamp, Buckminster Fuller, Pierre Boulez, Robert Rauschenberg, and longtime companion Merce Cunningham.

Marta E. Sanchez - ''Shakin' Up'' Race and Gender (2006).jpg

The second phase of the civil rights movement (1965-1973) was a pivotal period in the development of ethnic groups in the United States. In the years since then, new generations have asked new questions to cast light on this watershed era. No longer is it productive to consider only the differences between ethnic groups; we must also study them in relation to one another and to U.S. mainstream society. In "Shakin' Up Race and Gender", Marta E. Sanchez creates an intercultural frame to study the historical and cultural connections among Puerto Ricans, African Americans, and Chicanos/as since the 1960s.Her frame opens up the black/white binary that dominated the 1960s and 1970s.

James Callanan - Covert Action in the Cold War, US Policy, Intelligence and CIA Operation (2009).jpg

Born out of the ashes of World War II, the covert action arm of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) was created to counter the challenge posed by the Soviet Union and its allies and bolster American interests worldwide. It evolved rapidly into an eclectic, well-resourced organization whose activities provided a substitute for overt military action and afforded essential backup when the Cold War turned hot in Korea and Vietnam.

Osprey - Fortress 99 - Steven J Zaloga - Defense o f Japan 1945 (2010).jpg

In 1945, with her fleet destroyed and her armies beaten, the only thing that stood between Japan and an Allied invasion was the numerous coastal defence positions that surrounded the islands. This is the first book to take a detailed look at the Japanese home island fortifications that were constructed during 1941-45. Utilizing diagrams, specially commissioned artwork, and sources previously unavailable in English, Steven Zaloga examines these defences in the context of a possible Allied invasion, constructing various arguments for one of the greatest 'what if' scenarios of World War II, and helping to explain why the Americans decided to go ahead with a nuclear option.

Wilfred M. Mcclay - Students Guide To U.S. History , U.S. History Guide (2007).jpg

No nation in modern history has had a more powerful sense of its own distinctiveness than the United States. Yet few Americans understand the immensely varied sources of that sense and the fascinating debates that have always swirled around our attempts to define America with greater precision. In this introduction to the study of American history, Wilfred M. McClay invites us to experience the perennial freshness and vitality of this great subject as he explores some of the enduring commitments and persistent tensions that have made America what it is.

Jae Young Kim - Sorting Out Deregulation, Protecti ng Free Speech and Internet Access in the United S tates, Germany, and Japan (2002).jpg

01 - USA - Jae Young Kim - Sorting Out Deregulation, Protecting Fr...t Access in the United States, Germany, and Japan 2002.jpg

This book, as one of the series of law and society studies, deals with the problem of telecommunications deregulation from a viewpoint of political economy. The author tries to provide a clearer account of the complex public interest issues as to universal service and freedom of speech on the Internet. Distinguishably from the mainstream of recent literature of this kind, the study pays little attention to the structural or technological feature of Internet itself. Instead, the author tries to search for the power relations between actors such as government and corporations. For this purpose, the study aims to use empirical as well as normative instruments. It is also a rich comparative study, based on the empirical observations made by comparing the situations of three countries: the United States, Germany, and Japan.

The book allocates almost half of its total pages to the theoretical problems of political economy. Vincent Mosco’s work on telecommunications policy is widely drawn on. However, despite its subtitle, only two chapters are provided for the empirical and comparative analysis of the tree countries: the situation of universal service (chapter 5) and free speech (chapter 6).

The author maintains that the political economy is a way of exploring the social totality. However, in my impression, the study is too much inclined to government-centered analysis. For example, as to Japan, he stresses that the government has taken a very important role in realising telecommunications deregulation, just as in the post-war economic miracle (p 96). This seems an oversimplification. The initiative of government was indeed important in advancing deregulation in Japan. However, without the maturity of private industrial sectors, deregulation can never achieve a competitive and efficient marketplace that has the capacity to sustain public interests such as universal service and free speech. In Japan, many venture companies such as Yahoo BB are also playing a very important role for promoting wider service areas as well as low-cost provision of Internet. The government, gradually losing the trust of people in these days, seems to be seeking a new role as the coordinator of the society. Deregulation inevitably makes the government abandon its controlling position even partially.

Jae Young Kim - Sorting Out Deregulation, Protecti ng Free Speech and Internet Access in the United S tates, Germany, and Japan (2002).pdf

The government oriented character is also clear from the author’s final recommendations to the developing countries: (1) government interventions should be made for securing universal service of the Internet; (2) government must characterise Internet as an open and public communication medium (p 150).

This book inevitably reminds me of Lawrence Lessig’s work: The Future of Ideas (Random House, 2001). In his book, Lessig deals with the same problem of how the public interest is threatened on the Internet. However, Lessig is acute to the technological structure of Internet, which sometimes is deceptive to ordinary people. Under its artificial structure, the public intertes is restricted without giving any warning to the people or even to the government. The study based on political economy perhaps started from the presumption that human actors can always choose to take the right measures to realise any social objectives which they want. This presumption itself seems to be strongly dubious on the Internet.

Despite these criticisms, the book remains an important contribution, which tries to shed light on recent telecommunication problems from the angle of political economy. The empirical analysis of three nations provides useful introductory observations for anyone who would like to research these matters.

Karl Rove - Courage and Consequence, My Life as a Conservative in the Fight (2010).jpg

From the moment he set foot on it, Karl Rove has rocked America’s political stage. He ran the national College Republicans at twenty-two, and turned a Texas dominated by Democrats into a bastion for Republicans. He launched George W. Bush to national renown by unseating a popular Democratic governor, and then orchestrated a GOP White House win at a time when voters had little reason to throw out the incumbent party. For engineering victory after unlikely victory, Rove became known as “the Architect.”
Because of his success, Rove has been attacked his entire career, accused of everything from campaign chicanery to ideological divisiveness. In this frank memoir, Rove responds to critics, passionately articulates his political philosophy, and defends the choices he made on the campaign trail and in the White House. He addresses controversies head-on— from his role in the contest between Bush and Senator John McCain in South Carolina to the charges that Bush misled the nation on Iraq. In the course of putting the record straight, Rove takes on Democratic leaders who acted cynically or deviously behind closed doors, and even Republicans who lacked backbone at crucial moments.
Courage and Consequence is also the first intimate account from the highest level at the White House of one of the most headline-making presidencies of the modern age. Rove takes readers behind the scenes of the bitterly contested 2000 presidential contest, of tense moments aboard Air Force One on 9/11, of the decision to go to war in Afghanistan and Iraq, of the hard-won 2004 reelection fight, and even of his painful three years fending off an indictment by Special Prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald. In the process, he spells out what it takes to win elections and how to govern successfully once a candidate has won.
Rove is candid about his mistakes in the West Wing and in his campaigns, and talks frankly about the heartbreak of his early family years. But Courage and Consequence is ultimately about the joy of a life committed to the conservative cause, a life spent in political combat and service to country, no matter the costs.

Sean Hannity - Conservative Victory, Defeating Oba ma's Radical Agenda (2010).jpg

Barack Obama and his radical team of self-professed socialists, fringe activists, and others are trying to remake the American way of life. They have used their new Democratic majority to launch an alarming assault on our capitalist system—while abandoning the war on terror, undermining our national security, and weakening our position in the eyes of our enemies. The "candidate of change" is threatening to change our country irreparably, and for the worse—if we don't act to stop him now.
Sean Hannity has been sounding the alarms about Obama and his agenda from the start. Now—in his first new book in six years—he issues a stirring call to action. Hannity surveys all the major Obama players—from the president's affiliation with radical theology to his advisers' history of Marxist activism, repression of the media, support for leftist dictators, and worse. He exposes their resulting campaign to dismantle the American free-market system and forfeit our national sovereignty. But he draws on the examples of Ronald Reagan and the GOP's Contract with America to show how conservatives can unite behind this country's most cherished principles and act now to get America back on the right track—while we still can.

Brad Herzog - Turn Left At The Trojan Horse, A Wou ld-Be Hero's American Odyssey (2010).jpg

The author takes a circuitous route east from California by driving an RV across Oregon, Washington, Montana, Minnesota, Wisconsin, and other points between and beyond. Inspired by Odysseus and a cast of supporting gods and goddesses, vignettes illuminate some form of heroic action, with Herzog discovering attributes of bravery and endurance in a variety of everyday characters. The author asks "What is a hero?" and finds answers in sources such as the 1997 North Dakota flood, and Sparta, Wisconsin, home to Fort McCoy, where he ponders military life, drawing parallels with Odysseus and his wife Penelope, "a de facto single mother, her husband essentially missing in action until she hears from him next." Points of interest that inspire Herzog include the Mount Olympus Water and Theme Park at the Wisconsin Dells and an Ohio eatery called Pandora's Lunch Box, which allows him to tell the entertaining tale of the original Pandora. And after meandering around Pennsylvania's eternally burning mine fire in Centralia, he takes on labyrinthine history with an Appalachian labyrinth owner who claims to possess multiple personalities, just another character on another pit stop along an intriguing excursion.

Tobias Moskowitz, L. Jon Wertheim - Scorecasting, The Hidden Influences Behind How Sports Are Played and Games Are Won (2011).jpg

01 - USA - Tobias Moskowitz, L. Jon Wertheim - Scorecasting, The ...es Behind How Sports Are Played and Games Are Won 2011.jpg

“Defense wins championships!” So declared a triumphant Michael Jordan in 1991, invoking a hallowed sports mantra. But Jordan’s assertion melts into cliché when Moskowitz and Wertheim expose it to statistical calculations revealing that, regardless of the sport, offense proves just as decisive as defense. Indeed, in their wide-ranging iconoclasm, the authors repeatedly poke arithmetic holes in what everyone in sports supposedly knows. Typical is their number-crunching assault on the popular explanation of home-field advantage as a consequence of visiting teams’ road fatigue. Home teams win, the authors demonstrate, chiefly because referees tend to see plays their way—especially when the crowd of spectators grows large. Parsing of data illuminates off-field behavior, too, explaining which athletes use steroids and which ones use marijuana. Even the curse hanging over the Chicago Cubs comes into focus then the analysts ignore the billy-goat myth and statistically assess a management style fostered by fans perversely loyal to “lovable losers”! Sports buffs eager to win their next barroom argument will be lining up for this book.

The Roots of Obama’s Rage reveals Obama for who he really is: a man driven by the anti-colonial ideology of his father and the first American president to actually seek to reduce America's strength, influence, and standard of living. Controversial and compelling, The Roots of Obama’s Rage is poised to be the one book that truly defines Obama and his presidency.

This is a critical collection of essays on the origin and nature of the idea of liberty. The authors explore the development of English ideas of liberty and the relationship those ideas hold to modern conceptions of rule of law. The essays address early medieval developments, encompassing such seminal issues as the common-law mind of the sixteenth century under the Tudor monarchs, the struggle for power and authority between the Stuart kings and Parliament in the seventeenth century, and the role of the ancient constitution in the momentous legal and constitutional debate that occurred between the Glorious Revolution and the American Declaration of Independence.
