Intl shipments may require addtl postage.., Crown Publishers, 2006, The first nine months of Donald Trump's term were stormy, outrageous - and absolutely mesmerising.

Hardcover. Like New. Signed. *Autographed by author, Ted Koppel.* Hardcover and dust jacket. Good binding and cover. Clean, unmarked pages. In this "New York Times" bestselling investigation, Ted Koppel reveals that a major cyberattack on America s power grid is not only possible but likely, that it would be devastating, and that the United States is shockingly unprepared. Imagine a blackout lasting not days, but weeks or months. Tens of millions of people over several states are affected. For those without access to a generator, there is no running water, no sewage, no refrigeration or light. Food and medical supplies are dwindling. Devices we rely on have gone dark. Banks no longer function, looting is widespread, and law and order are being tested as never before. It isn t just a scenario. A well-designed attack on just one of the nation s three electric power grids could cripple much of our infrastructure and in the age of cyberwarfare, a laptop has become the only necessary weapon. Several nations hostile to the United States could launch such an assault at any time. In fact, as a former chief scientist of the NSA reveals, China and Russia have already penetrated the grid. And a cybersecurity advisor to President Obama believes that independent actors from hacktivists to terrorists have the capability as well. It s not a question of if, says Centcom Commander General Lloyd Austin, it s a question of when. And yet, as Koppel makes clear, the federal government, while well prepared for natural disasters, has no plan for the aftermath of an attack on the power grid. The current Secretary of Homeland Security suggests keeping a battery-powered radio. In the absence of a government plan, some individuals and communities have taken matters into their own hands. Among the nation s estimated three million preppers, we meet one whose doomsday retreat includes a newly excavated three-acre lake, stocked with fish, and a Wyoming homesteader so self-sufficient that he crafted the thousands of adobe bricks in his house by hand. We also see the unrivaled disaster preparedness of the Mormon church, with its enormous storehouses, high-tech dairies, orchards, and proprietary trucking company the fruits of a long tradition of anticipating the worst. But how, Koppel asks, will ordinary civilians survive? With urgency and authority, one of our most renowned journalists examines a threat unique to our time and evaluates potential ways to prepare for a catastrophe that is all but inevitable., Crown, 2015-10-27, HarperCollins Publishers India, 2010. Softcover. New. A lively, engaging and counterintuitive exploration of success stories from across the globe, and what Michelle Obama referred to as âthe flimsy difference between success and failureâ. In this lively and counterintuitive exploration of success stories from across the globe, award-winning journalist Hamish McRae takes the reader on a fascinating journey in pursuit of the flimsy difference between triumph and failure. Why do some initiatives take off while others flounder? How have some communities managed to achieve so much while others struggle? What distinguishes the good companies from the bad? What lessons can we learn from the surprisingly well-ordered Mumbai community made famous by âSlumdog Millionaireâ? Why have Canadian manners helped Whistler become the most popular ski resort in North America? And how has Hong Kong used gambling profits to help its residents enjoy the greatest level of economic freedom on the planet? Drawing life lessons from the great ideas put to work on every continent â from America to Europe, from Africa to Asia and Australasia â McRaeâs stories are as surprising as they are inspiring. We are better placed now than we have ever been to make good choices about the future of our species and our planet. But if we are to face the many challenges ahead, we have to try to learn from each other. âWhat Worksâ will leave you entertained, informed and, ultimately, enlightened as to what each of us can do to make successes of our businesses, our communities and our lives.

In this nuanced and complex portrait of Barack Obama, Pulitzer Prize-winner David Remnick offers a thorough, intricate, and riveting account of the un ique experiences that shaped our nation's first African American president. Through extensive on-the-record interviews with friends and teachers, mento rs and disparagers, family members and Obama himself, Remnick explores the elite institutions that first exposed Obama to social tensions, and the int ellectual currents that contributed to his identity. Using America's racial history as a backdrop for Obama's own story, Remnick further reveals how a n initially rootless and confused young man built on the experiences of an earlier generation of black leaders to become one of the central figures of our time. Masterfully written and eminently readable, The Bridge is destined to be a lasting and illuminating work for years to come, by a writer with an unpara lleled gift for revealing the historical significance of our present moment .

Paperback. New. Paperback. Dimensions: 10.0in. x 7.0in. x 0.3in.Canada and the United States share 5500 miles of border and a rich history going back to the Revolutionary War. Yet Americans in general are ignorant about Canadian politics, culture, economics and even the nature of the people themselves who are often thought of as -quasi- Americans. We have established trade relations through NAFTA--160 billion in goods flow annuallly across the DetroitWindsor Bridge--but some of this is threatened by the election of President Donald Trump who has promised to -renegotiate- the trade relationship. (Obama had a state dinner for the new Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and declared that Canada and the U. S. were -one big town. - But that was then, this is now. ) The possibilities for a stronger union beyond NAFTA are explored in this book and a whole chapter is devoted to one prominent dual citizens proposal (-thought experiment-) for an actual merger between the two countries, at least eventually. In the meantime, as AmeriCanada reveals in detail, Americans can learn from Canadians whose reputation as a democracy darling around the world has been growing steadily. (The Economist cover story of November 4, 2016 was titled -Liberty Moves North-. ) Increasingly, Americans are considering moving northward to take advantage of Canadas liberal single payer health care system, educational facilities on par with Americas, a lower crime rate, less punitive laws, a high standard of living and secure banking policies that -trumped- Americas during its Great Recession. Whether moving or not, Americans can benefit from this book by learning what Canada is doing as a country to become a shining star at a time when turmoil is rocking the lower 48 states (plus two).
