The Cheney Vice Presidency

Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Barton Gellmanas newsbreaking investigative journalism documents how Vice President Dick Cheney redefined the role of the American vice presidency, assuming unprecedented responsibilities and making it a post of historic power. Dick Cheney changed history, defining his times and shaping a White House as no vice president has beforea yet concealing most of his work from public view. Pulitzer Prize-winning Washington Post reporter Barton Gellman parts the curtains of secrecy to show how Cheney operated, why, and what he wrought. Angler, Gellmanas embargoed and highly explosive book, is a work of careful, concrete, and original reporting backed by hundreds of interviews with close Cheney allies as well as rivals, many speaking candidly on the record for the first time. On the signature issues of war and peace, Angler takes readers behind the scenes as Cheney maneuvers for dominance on what he calls the iron issues from Iraq, Iran, and North Korea to executive supremacy, interrogation of Al Qaeda suspects, and domestic espionage. Gellman explores the behind-the- scenes story of Cheneyas tremendous influence on foreign policy, exposing how he misled the four ranking members of Congress with faulty intelligence on Iraqi weapons of mass destruction, how he derailed Bush from venturing into Israeli- Palestinian peace talks for nearly five years, and how his policy left North Korea and Iran free to make major advances in their nuclear programs. Domestically, Gellman details Cheneyas role as asuper Chief of Staff a, enforcer of conservative orthodoxy; gatekeeper of Supreme Court nominees; referee of Cabinet turf; editor of tax and budgetlaws; and regulator in chief of the administrationas environment policy. We watch as Cheney, the ultimate Washington insider, leverages his influence within the Bush administration in order to implement his policy goals. Gellmanas discoveries will surprise even the most astute students of political science. Above all, Angler is a study of the inner workings of the Bush administration and the vice presidentas central role as the administrationas canniest power player. Gellman exposes the mechanics of Cheneyas largely successful post-September 11 campaign to win unchecked power for the commander in chief, and reflects upon, and perhaps changes, the legacy that Cheneyaand the Bush administration as a wholeawill leave as they exit office.

Revised and Updated with More Stories of Recent Bear Attacks and the Hard Lessons Learned

A must-read about these magnificent but sometimes deadly creatures—thoroughly revised, expanded, and updated

Every year, millions of people travel to grizzly country, hoping for a glimpse of the Great Bear. And every year, somebody is attacked. The power of the grizzly is almost mythical and has become the stuff of legend.

 

Mark of the Grizzlyrelies on neither myth nor legend. Rather, it relies on the true accounts of dozens of attacks, from Yellowstone National Park to Alaska, from 1977 to 2010. Author Scott McMillion examines each attack and its aftermath, interviewing victims, their survivors and investigators. Hikers, photographers, hunters, scientists and others tell their stories here, offering what they have learned and the lessons that others should know.

 

Neither mysteries nor tales of horror, these stories create a world of wonder, respect and fear that make for a book you’ll find hard to put down.

  

In the thirteen years sinceMark of the Grizzlyfirst appeared. DNA science has revolutionalized how people study bears and how they investigate attacks. Growing populations of grizzlies and people have led to more bear/human encounters—some fatal—and grizzlies now wander parts of the West where they hadn’t been seen for decades. This new edition includes a thorough update of existing material and new or expanded chapters that cover:

 

·        The recent attacks around Yellowstone National Park and Anchorage, Alaska, which have generated national headlines.

·        The increased popularity of mountain biking and trail running in grizzly country. Are such sports advisable there?

·        Expanding bear populations into the prairies of Montana and Wyoming, far from the expected mountain locales.

·        “Bear Men.” People who gettooclose to bears, and sometimes die in their jaws. The book includes a profile of Timothy Treadwell, subject of the movieGrizzlyMan.

·        The continuing phenomenon of “dinner bell” grizzlies.

"Twelve brand-spanking-new techniques and a bunch of old favorites (sponging and ragging, to name just two). What's novel? An unusual combination of spackle and paint and faint swirls of Miro-esque colors against solid-hued walls. A definite plus are extensive directions, not only for each technique but also for questions about color, preparation, and equipment. Good close-up color photographs make this instructional text even more valuable. Work checklist, glossary, and metric equivalents appended.""--Booklist.
