Misunderestimated: The President Battles Terrorism, John Kerry, and the Bush Haters
by Bill SammonA riveting portrait of President Bush as he broadens the war on terror overseas—and plunges into high-stakes political battles at home"They misunderestimated me," George W. Bush famously remarked on the eve of his historic presidency. Fractured syntax aside, Bush was right: his detractors misunderstood his appeal to the American public, and underestimated his considerable political skills. In this compelling new book, Bill Sammon reveals how the president is turning these misperceptions to his advantage in the looming showdown with John Kerry and the Bush haters.As senior White House correspondent for the Washington Times, Sammon has been granted extraordinary access to the president and his closest confidants, from political gurus Karl Rove and Andy Card to foreign policy advisers Colin Powell and Condoleezza Rice. The result is a compelling chronicle of the second eighteen months of George W. Bush's term, as the administration's focus shifts from al Qaeda and Afghanistan to Iraq and the 2004 election. Sammon's on-the-scene reporting and exclusive interviews with the president and his top advisers reveal how the White House is implementing the most profound shift in U.S. foreign policy in more than half a century, prompting an eminent Democratic historian to rank Bush alongside John Quincy Adams and Franklin Delano Roosevelt as one of America's "grand" strategists.For the first time, Sammon discloses the president's vow that Kerry will "regret" bad-mouthing the liberation of Iraq, the seminal event in the post-9/11 phase of the Bush presidency. Rove even details for Sammon the White House strategy to paint Kerry as a condescending elitist whose "blatant" attempts to capitalize on his Vietnam experience will ultimately come back to haunt him.Misunderestimated also meticulously tracks the rise of the Bush haters, a disturbing political phenomenon that colors everything from the war on terrorism to the presidential campaign. The impact extends to the press, which Sammon exposes for racing to brand Operation Iraqi Freedom another Vietnam "quagmire" less than eighteen months after making the same blunder during the Afghan war.In Misunderestimated, Sammon takes readers inside the Oval Office for historic decisions of war and peace, aboard Air Force One for a daring, surprise descent into Baghdad, and even on an intimate tour of Bush's beloved Prairie Chapel Ranch in Crawford, Texas. It's a mesmerizing account of a president determined not to repeat his father's two fundamental mistakes—abandoning Iraq and failing to vanquish the Democrats.

Conservation of Dragonflies: Sentinels for Freshwater Conservation
by Dr Michael J SamwaysDragonflies are among the most familiar and popular of all insects, deeply embedded in human cultural history. They are iconic and tell us much about the environments in which we and they live. Their conservation is an important part of biodiversity conservation. One modern dragonfly species is listed as extinct, with many others currently threatened. It is now essential to increase conservation efforts towards saving these threatened species, with strategies now available for doing this. Recovery of dragonfly populations goes hand in hand with improvements to both freshwater conditions and bank vegetation quality. In contrast, some other dragonfly species have benefitted greatly from human transformation of the landscape, with artificial ponds in particular, increasing the population levels of many species. In turn, climate change is seeing many geographical range shifts. Dragonflies are variously sensitive to the health of freshwater systems, and the quality of vegetation along rivers and around ponds. Dragonflies are excellent indicators in these times of great concern over the quality of our freshwater supplies. Their wide range of sensitivities enables us to measure the extent to which freshwater ecosystems are either deteriorating or are improving when we undertake restoration. They enable us to gauge how well we are conserving freshwaters, whether ponds and lakes, streams or rivers. They are also good umbrellas for many other freshwater inhabitants, which altogether reflect the health of a freshwater system. Conservation of Dragonflies: Sentinels for Freshwater Conservation is for naturalists, citizen scientists, entomologists and conservation scientists, as well as practitioners and policy makers around the world.

The B Word: Bisexuality in Contemporary Film and Television
by Maria San FilippoOften disguised in public discourse by terms like "gay," "homoerotic," "homosocial," or "queer," bisexuality is strangely absent from queer studies and virtually untreated in film and media criticism. Maria San Filippo aims to explore the central role bisexuality plays in contemporary screen culture, establishing its importance in representation, marketing, and spectatorship. By examining a variety of media genres including art cinema, sexploitation cinema and vampire films, "bromances," and series television, San Filippo discovers "missed moments" where bisexual readings of these texts reveal a more malleable notion of subjectivity and eroticism. San Filippo's work moves beyond the subject of heteronormativity and responds to "compulsory monosexuality," where it's not necessarily a couple's gender that is at issue, but rather that an individual chooses one or the other. The B Word transcends dominant relational formation (gay, straight, or otherwise) and brings a discursive voice to the field of queer and film studies.

Land Law and Policy in Israel: A Prism of Identity (Perspectives on Israel Studies)
by Haim SandbergAs one of the smallest and most densely populated countries in the world, the State of Israel faces serious land policy challenges and has a national identity laced with enormous internal contradictions. In Land Law and Policy in Israel,Haim Sandberg contends that if you really want to know the identity of a state, learn its land law and land policies.Sandberg argues that Israel's identity can best be understood by deciphering the code that lies in the Hebrew secret of Israeli dry land law. According to Sandberg, by examining the complex facets of property law and land policy, one finds a unique prism for comprehending Israel's most pronounced identity problems.Land Law and Policy in Israel explores how Israel's modern land system tries to bridge the gaps between past heritage and present needs, nationalization and privatization, bureaucracy and innovation, Jewish majority and non-Jewish minority, legislative creativity and judicial activism. The regulation of property and the determination of land usage have been the consequences of explicit choices made in the context of competing and evolving concepts of national identity. Land Law and Policy in Israel will prove to be a must-read not only for anyone interested in Israel but also for anyone who wants to understand the importance of land law in a nation's life.

A Dama e o Conde Rabugento (As Damas da Aristocracia #1)
by Linda Rae SandeEle é um rabugento. E ela é o motivo. Depois de se despedir do filho quando ele partiu para sua grande turnê pela Europa, Patience Grayson, a recém-viúva Marquesa de Billingsley, parte para o campo. Ela pretende passar pelo menos um ano morando sozinha na propriedade da família Grayson em Shropshire. Se ao menos sua carruagem conseguir chegar até a propriedade. Mas uma roda quebra, e em um local muito inconveniente. Acossado por um condado que quase faliu devido ao jogo e à bebida de seu falecido pai, Max Higgins, Conde de Greenley, não tem tido um bom dia há mais de vinte anos -- não desde que a mulher com quem ele deveria se casar o trocou por outro. Desde então, sua amargura o tornou conhecido em toda Staffordshire como o Conde Rabugento. Embora ele tenha encontrado outra mulher para ser sua condessa, a pobre mulher morreu ao dar à luz, segundo alguns, para escapar de seu mau humor. A solidão de Max em sua mansão rural em Staffordshire está prestes a ser abalada quando a causa de seu mau humor invade sua casa -- e seu quarto de dormir -- em uma noite de inverno. Será que a vida voltará a ser a mesma?
Die Lady des Griesgrams (Die Damen der Aristokratie #1)
by Linda Rae SandeEr ist ein Miesepeter. Sie ist der Grund dafür. Nachdem Patience Grayson, die frisch verwitwete Marchioness of Billingsley, sich von ihrem Sohn verabschiedet hat, als dieser zu seiner Grand Tour durch Europa aufbrach, macht sie sich auf den Weg aufs Land. Sie will mindestens ein Jahr lang allein auf dem Familiensitz der Graysons in Shropshire leben. Wenn nur ihre Reisekutsche es so weit schaffen würde. Als ein Rad bricht, geschieht dies an einer äußerst ungünstigen Stelle. Max Higgins, Earl of Greenley, hat seit über zwanzig Jahren keinen guten Tag mehr gehabt, seit die Frau, die er eigentlich heiraten sollte, ihn für einen anderen verlassen hat, und das mit einer Grafschaft, die durch die Spielsucht und den Alkoholkonsum seines verstorbenen Vaters fast bankrott gegangen ist. Seitdem ist er wegen seiner Verbitterung in ganz Staffordshire als "Earl of Grump" bekannt. Obwohl er eine andere Gräfin gefunden hat, starb die arme Frau bei der Geburt seines Erben, manche sagen, um seiner mürrischen Laune zu entgehen. Max' Einsamkeit in seinem Landsitz in Staffordshire wird jäh gestört, als der Grund für seine Mürrischkeit in einer späten Winternacht in sein Haus - und sein Schlafgemach - eindringt. Wird das Leben jemals wieder wie früher sein?

Teaching International Law: Reflections on Pedagogical Practice in Context (ISSN)
by Barrie Sander Jean-Pierre GauciThe practice of teaching international law is conducted in a wide range of contexts across the world by a host of different actors – including scholars, practitioners, civil society groups, governments, and international organisations.This collection brings together a diversity of scholars and practitioners to share their experiences and critically reflect on current practices of teaching international law across different contexts, traditions, and perspectives to develop existing conversations and spark fresh ones concerning teaching practices within the field of international law. Reflecting on the responsibilities of teachers of international law to engage with and confront histories, contemporary crises, and everyday events in their teaching, the collection explores efforts to decenter the teacher and the law in the classroom, opportunities for dialogical and critical approaches to teaching, and the possibilities of co-producing non-conventional pedagogies that question the mainstream underpinnings of international law teaching. Focusing on the tools and techniques used to teach international law to date, the collection examines the teaching of international law in different contexts. Traversing a range of domestic and regional contexts around the world, the book offers insights into both the culture of teaching in particular domestic settings, aswell as the structural challenges and obstacles that arise in terms of who, what, and how international law is taught in practice.Offering a unique window into the personal experiences of a diversity of scholars and practitioners from around the world, this collection aims to nurture conversations about the responsibilities, approaches, opportunities, and challenges of teaching international law.

Amtrak in the Heartland (Railroads Past and Present)
by Craig Sanders"Craig Sanders has done an excellent job of research . . . his treatment is as comprehensive as anyone could reasonably wish for, and solidly based. In addition, he succeeds in making it all clear as well as any human can. He also manages to inject enough humor and human interest to keep the reader moving." —Herbert H. Harwood, author of The Lake Shore Electric Railway Story and Invisible Giants: The Empires of Cleveland's Van Sweringen BrothersA complete history of Amtrak operations in the heartland, this volume describes conditions that led to the passage of the Rail Passenger Service Act of 1970, the formation and implementation of Amtrak in 1970–71, and the major factors that have influenced Amtrak operations since its inception. More than 140 photographs and 3 maps bring to life the story as told by Sanders. This book will become indispensable to train enthusiasts through its examination of Americans' long-standing fascination with passenger trains. When it began in 1971, many expected Amtrak to last about three years before going out of existence for lack of business, but the public's continuing support of funding for Amtrak has enabled it and the passenger train to survive despite seemingly insurmountable odds.
