A Better Man
The true story of one man's incredible journey. Dave Franke might have been content to lead the life of a simple cowboy. But he believed in the American Dream, started a construction company and rode the crest of a building boom to the pinnacle of success. When the Great Recession hit and interest rates topped 24 percent, he lost it all. He drowned his failures with alcohol. Then one day, out on the broad sweep of the desert, God and Satan had a fistfight over his alcoholic soul. This is a powerful story of profit and loss, of weakness and strength, a story of love, forgiveness, deliverance and redemption.

America in White, Black, and Gray
Numerous studies on various aspects of the issues of the 1960s have been written over the past 35 years, but few have so successfully integrated the many-sided components into a coherent, synthetic, and reliable book that combines good storytelling with sound scholarly analysis.

The Conservative Revolution
The triumph of the conservative movement in reshaping American politics is one of the great untold stories of the past fifty years. At the end of World War II, hardly anyone in public life would admit to being a conservative, but as Lee Edwards shows in this magisterial work, in the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s, a small group of committed men and women began to chip away at the liberal colossus, and their descendants would scale the ramparts of power in the 1980s and 1990s. Not even the fall of Newt Gingrich has changed the indisputable fact that the movement has truly rewritten the rules of American political life, and the republic will never be the same. Edwards tells the stories of how conserv...
When did the Cold War become global?
Essay from the year 2015 in the subject History Europe - Germany - Postwar Period, Cold War, grade: 1, Oxford University, language: English, abstract: The 20th century was shaped by three wars, each global and utterly destructive in its own way. The first took the world by surprise and crushed the romantic ideal of heroism with industrialised brutality. The second stained the very core of mankind with unimaginable evil and cruelty, with death and suffering on an unprecedented scale. The third brought disruption to the world and the planet to the brink of nuclear catastrophe. This is the story of the role that the atomic bomb played in this third global conflict within a few decades, which we...
Cartographies of Danger
No place is perfectly safe, but some places are more dangerous than others. Whether we live on a floodplain or in "Tornado Alley," near a nuclear facility or in a neighborhood poorly lit at night, we all co-exist uneasily with natural and man-made hazards. As Mark Monmonier shows in this entertaining and immensely informative book, maps can tell us a lot about where we can anticipate certain hazards, but they can also be dangerously misleading. California, for example, takes earthquakes seriously, with a comprehensive program of seismic mapping, whereas Washington has been comparatively lax about earthquakes in Puget Sound. But as the Northridge earthquake in January 1994 demonstrated all to...
America at the Ballot Box
A chronological collection of essays, America at the Ballot Box uses the history of presidential elections to illuminate both the fundamental character of American political democracy, and its evolution from the early Republic to the late twentieth century.
Democracy for Hire
Though they work largely out of the public eye, political consultants to candidates play a crucial role in shaping campaigns. As Dennis Johnson argues in this history of political consulting in the United States, they are essential to modern campaigning, often making positive contributions to democratic discourse, and yet they have also polarized the electorate with their biting messages
