The assault on reason / Gore, Albert
TÃtulo : The assault on reason Tipo de documento: texto impreso Autores: Gore, Albert, Autor Editorial: New York, NY : Penguin Books Fecha de publicación: 2007 Número de páginas: 308 p. Dimensiones: 25 cm. ISBN/ISSN/DL: 978-1-59420-122-6 Nota general: An analysis of how the politics of fear, secrecy, cronyism, and blind faith has created an environment dangerously hostile to reason. We live in an age when the 30-second television spot is the most powerful force shaping the electorate's thinking, and America is in the hands of an administration less interested than any previous administration in sharing the truth with the citizenry. Of even greater concern is this administration's disinterest in the process by which the truth is ascertained--an open inquiry in which unexpected and even inconvenient facts can lead to unexpected conclusions. Never has there been a worse time for us to lose the capacity to face the reality of our long-term challenges. Gore aims to make us more aware of the forces at work on our own minds, and to lead us to an understanding of what we can do to safeguard our future.--From publisher description.

TÃtulo : Angler : the Cheney vice presidency Tipo de documento: texto impreso Autores: Gellman, Barton, Autor Editorial: New York, NY : Penguin Books Fecha de publicación: 2008 Número de páginas: 483 p., [8] p. of plates : Il.: ill. ; Dimensiones: 25 cm. ISBN/ISSN/DL: 978-1-59420-186-8 Nota general: Dick Cheney changed history, defining his times and shaping a White House as no vice president has before--yet concealing most of his work from public view. Pulitzer Prize-winning Washington Post reporter Barton Gellman shows how Cheney operated, why, and what he wrought. This 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. It is a study of the inner workings of the Bush administration and the vice president's central role as the administration's canniest power player. Gellman exposes the mechanics of Cheney's largely successful post-September 11 campaign to win unchecked power for the commander in chief, and reflects upon, and perhaps changes, the legacy that Cheney--and the Bush administration as a whole--will leave as they exit office.--From publisher description.
