It’s the Middle Class, Stupid! confirms what we have all suspected:
Washington and Wall Street have really screwed things up for the average
American. Work has been devalued. Education costs are out of sight. Effort and
ambition have never been so scantily rewarded. Political guru James Carville and
pollster extraordinaire Stan Greenberg argue that our political parties must
admit their failures and the electorate must reclaim its voice, because taking
on the wealthy and the privileged is not class warfare—it is a matter of
survival. Told in the alternating voices of these two top political strategists,
It’s the Middle Class, Stupid! provides eye-opening and provocative
arguments on where our government—including the White House—has gone wrong, and
what voters can do about it.
Controversial and outspoken, authoritative and shrewd, It’s the Middle
Class, Stupid! is destined to make waves during the 2012 presidential
campaign, and will set the agenda for legislative battles and political dust-ups
during the next administration

From New York Times bestselling author Sam
Kean comes more incredible stories of science, history, language, and music, as
told by our own DNA.
In The Disappearing Spoon, bestselling author Sam Kean unlocked the mysteries of the periodic table. In THE VIOLINIST'S THUMB, he explores the wonders of the magical building block of life: DNA. There are genes to explain crazy cat ladies, why other people have no fingerprints, and why some people survive nuclear bombs. Genes illuminate everything from JFK's bronze skin (it wasn't a tan) to Einstein's genius. They prove that Neanderthals and humans bred thousands of years more recently than any of us would feel comfortable thinking. They can even allow some people, because of the exceptional flexibility of their thumbs and fingers, to become truly singular violinists. Kean's vibrant storytelling once again makes science entertaining, explaining human history and whimsy while showing how DNA will influence our species' future. |
