"När du hade sex med Tom Zutauts (talangscout på Warner som upptäckte bandet) flickvän på en toalett och Zutaut ovetande befann sig utanför, tänkte du på att du äventyrade ditt bands karriär?–?Nej, moral, konsekvenser och självbehärskning existerade inte.

Pulitzer Prize-winning historian Edward J. Larson recovers a crucially important--yet almost always overlooked--chapter of George Washington's life, revealing how Washington saved the United States by coming out of retirement to lead the Constitutional Convention and serve as our first president. After leading the Continental Army to victory in the Revolutionary War, George Washington shocked the world: he retired. In December 1783, General Washington, the most powerful man in the country, stepped down as Commander in Chief and returned to private life at Mount Vernon. Yet as Washington contentedly grew his estate, the fledgling American experiment floundered. Under the Articles of Confederation, the weak central government was unable to raise revenue to pay its debts or reach a consensus on national policy. The states bickered and grew apart. When a Constitutional Convention was established to address these problems, its chances of success were slim. Jefferson, Madison, and the other Founding Fathers realized that only one man could unite the fractious states: George Washington. Reluctant, but duty-bound, Washington rode to Philadelphia in the summer of 1787 to preside over the Convention. Although Washington is often overlooked in most accounts of the period, this masterful new history from Pulitzer Prize-winner Edward J. Larson brilliantly uncovers Washington's vital role in shaping the Convention--and shows how it was only with Washington's support and his willingness to serve as President that the states were brought together and ratified the Constitution, thereby saving the country.

"Den mest ensidiga bevakningen i mannaminne av en större internationell kris." Så karaktäriserar den undersökande veteranjournalisten Robert Parry mediernas skildring av Ukrainakrisen.I Bakom kulisserna i Kiev visar han hur den i väst etablerade berättelsen om utvecklingen i landet förvandlat en komplex verklighet till en moralitet om goda och onda, där ädla demonstranter kämpar mot en elak president och dennes ännu elakare beskyddare, Putin.Som en del av mediernas propagandaoffensiv har även ingått att flera centrala element i konflikten har förtigits eller tonats ned. Det gäller särskilt de roller som spelats av nykonservativa i USA och nynazister i Ukraina.Om Obama, och hans efterträdare, fortsätter att följa den nykonservativa agendan, menar Parry, väntar en framtid med ändlösa krig över hela Mellanöstern och en konfrontation med Ryssland, som i förlängningen kan leda till storkrig.FÖRFATTARENRobert Parry är en amerikansk undersökande journalist, verksam på e-zinet Consor­tium News.Under 1980-talet låg Robert Parry bakom flera av avslöjandena om den så kallade Iran-Contras-­affären, i vilken bland annat högt uppsatta tjänste­mänhade smugglat och sålt vapen till Iran och sedan använt pengarna till att finansiera Contrasgerillan i Nicara­gua. Hans artiklar publicerades av Newsweek och Associated Press och och belönades 1984 med George Polk Award for National Reporting.Robert Parrys senast utgivna böcker är: Secrecy & Privi­lege: Rise of the Bush Dynasty from Watergate to Iraq (2004), Neck Deep: The Disastrous Presidencyof George W.

OSTEP ("oh step"), or the "the comet book", represents the culmination of years of teaching intro to operating systems to both undergraduates and graduates at the University of Wisconsin-Madison Computer Sciences department for nearly 20 years.The book is organized around three concepts fundamental to OS construction: virtualization (of CPU and memory), concurrency (locks and condition variables), and persistence (disks, RAIDS, and file systems).The material, if combined with serious project work and homeworks, will lead students to a deeper understanding and appreciation of modern OSes.The authors, Remzi and Andrea Arpaci-Dusseau, are both professors of Computer Sciences at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. They have been doing research in computer systems for over 20 years, working together since their first graduate operating systems class at U.C. Berkeley in 1993.Since that time, they have published over 100 papers on the performance and reliability of many aspects of modern computer systems, with a special focus on file and storage systems. Their work has been recognized with numerous best-paper awards, and some of their innovations can be found in the Linux and BSD operating systems today.

What are the causes of war? To answer this question, Professor Kenneth Waltz examines the ideas of major thinkers throughout the history of Western civilization. He explores works both by classic political philosophers, such as St. Augustine, Hobbes, Kant, and Rousseau, and by modern psychologists and anthropologists to discover ideas intended to explain war among states and related prescriptions for peace. "In this thoughtful inquiry into the views of classical political theory on the and causes of war, Professor Waltz follows three principal themes nature or images: war as a consequence of the nature and behavior of man, as an outcome of their internal organization of states, and as a product of inter- Foreign Affairs national anarchy. "It is fortunate that Waltz is not merely a qualified political theorist but also an able student of international politics with a command of the con- temporary literature and of the raw data on the subject. He is thus able intellectually to analyze the contributions of the political philosophers and to assess their relevance and adequacy for understanding the real world of - American Political Science Review international politics. politics."

Den 20. januar 2017 tok Donald J. Trump over som USAs 45. president. Hans forgjengere har vært ulike personligheter. Noen kom fra trange kår, andre var født med en sølvskje i munnen.
