badlands of central Argentina. The two paleontologists who were summoned to the
site thought it was the thigh of a plant-eating dinosaur, but further
examination showed it to be the shin of a previously unknown species of
predatory dinosaur. "Bigger Than T-Rex" is an account of the excavation of
the fossil and the subsequent reconstruction of a dinosaur thought to have been
bigger, heavier, and fiercer than the reigning "king" of the meat-eaters,
"Tyrannosaurus rex." In clear, easy-to-follow language, dinosaur expert
Don Lessem explains how the scientists drew conclusions about the size and
habits of the new species, how they came to give it its
name- "Giganotosaurus" -and how it compared to other dinosaurs. Illustrated
with color photographs of the excavation and meticulously painted
reconstructions of "Giganotosaurus" and other species, here is
up-to-the-minute news about dinosaur discoveries for dinophiles of all ages.
Weekly Standard editor Daniel Halper provides a meticulously researched account of the brilliant calculations, secret deals, and occasionally treacherous maneuverings that led to the Clintons' return to political prominence.
In the twelve years since the Clintons left the White House, they have gone from being virtually penniless to multi-millionaires, and are arguably the most popular politicians in America--respected and feared by Republicans and Democrats alike. But behind that rise is a never-before-told story of strategic cleverness, reckless gambles, and an unquenchable thirst for political power.
Investigative reporter Daniel Halper uses a wealth of research, exclusive documents, and detailed interviews with close friends, allies, and enemies of the Clintons to reveal the strategy they used and the deals they made to turn their political fortunes around. Clinton, Inc. exposes the relationship between President Obama, the Bush family, and the Clintons--and what it means for the future; how Bill and Hillary are laying the groundwork for the upcoming presidential campaign; how Vice President Biden and other Democrats are trying to maneuver around her; Chelsea's political future; the Clintons' skillful media management; the Clintons' marriage and why it has survived; and an inside look at the Clinton's financial backers and hidden corporate enterprises.
Clinton, Inc. is the key to understanding America's most powerful political couple.
For the founders, democratic self-governance itself demanded open and easy access to ideas. So did the growth of creative communities such as that of eighteenth-century science. And so did the flourishing of public persons, the very actors whose civic virtue brought the nation into being.
In this lively, carefully argued, and well-documented book, Hyde brings the past to bear on present matters, shedding fresh light on everything from the Human Genome Project to Bob Dylan's musical roots. Common as Air allows us to stand on the shoulders of America's revolutionary giants and thus to see beyond today's narrow debates over cultural ownership. What it reveals is nothing less than a vision of how to reclaim the commonwealth of art and ideas that we were meant to inherit.
