O'Sullivan, Meghan L. Windfall: how the new energy abundance upends global politics and strengthens America's power. New York: Simon & Schuster, 2017, First Simon & Schuster hardcover edition., 2d printing number line, xii, 479pp., very good dust-jacket, cover price $29.00, fresh attractive copy, appears unused, very good red hardcover. nicely INSCRIBED to two recipients with first names only from the Kennedy school community and SIGNED by Meghan O'Sullivan. The Harvard professor argues that fears of energy scarcity have resulted in energy abundance, and describes how new energy realities create a strategic environment to Americas advantage., "Harvard professor and former Washington policymaker Meghan L. O'Sullivan reveals how fears of energy scarcity have given way to the reality of energy abundance. This abundance is transforming the geo-political order and boosting American power. As a new administration focuses on raising American energy production, O'Sullivan's Windfall describes how new energy realities have profoundly affected the world of international relations and security. New technologies led to oversupplied oil markets and an emerging natural gas glut. This did more than drive down prices. It changed the structure of markets and altered the way many countries wield power and influence. America's new energy prowess has global implications. It transforms politics in Russia, Europe, China, and the Middle East. O'Sullivan explains the consequences for each region's domestic stability as energy abundance upends traditional partnerships, creates opportunities for cooperation. The advantages of this new abundance are greater than its downside for the US: it strengthens American hard and soft power. This powerful book describes how new energy realities creates a strategic environment to America's advantage." -- Publisher's description - CONTENTS: The new energy abundance -- Behind the price plunge -- The new oil order -- Natural gas becomes more like oil -- The American phenomenon -- America's unrequited love -- Hard power accelerator -- Soft powering up -- Energy abundance, climate, and the environment -- The international environment -- Europe: catching a break -- Russia: more petulant, less powerful -- China: greater degrees of freedom -- The Middle East: trying to make the most of a tough situation -- Conclusion: from serendipity to strategy.

"John Gierach, 'the voice of the common angler' (The Wall Street Journal) and member of the Fly Fishing Hall of Fame, brings his sharp sense of humour and keen eye for observation to the fishing life and, for that matter, life in general. In A Fly Rod of Your Own, Gierach once again takes us into his world and scrutinizes the art of fly-fishing. He sings the praises of the skilled pilots who fly to remote fishing lodges in tricky locations and bad weather. He describes the all-but-impassable roads that fishermen always seem to encounter at the best fishing spots and why fishermen discuss four-wheel drive vehicles almost as passionately and frequently as they discuss fly rods and flies. And while he's on that subject, he explains why even the most conscientious fisherman always seems to accumulate more rods and flies than he could ever need." Chapters include: A fly-rod of your own; Rainbow and wrong way; The short list; Snake River; Fireproof; Getting there; My jeep; Alaska; The velvet handshake; Getting it right; Fool's errand; You can't eat the scenery; Camp food; Livin' the dream; Olives; Floatplanes; Home court; A bad day; The labrador effect; The West Branch; Collecting a debt. .

THIS BOOk IS VERY WEIGHY BECAUSE OF THE HIGH QUALITY PAPER STOCK USED TO GIVE THE BEST PRESENTATION OF Da VINCI'S MANY WORKS IN ART AND SCIENCE. Based on thousands of pages from Leonardo s astonishing notebooks and new discoveries about his life and work, Walter Isaacson weaves a narrative that connects his art to his science. He shows how Leonardo s genius was based on skills we can improve in ourselves, such as passionate curiosity, careful observation, and an imagination so playful that it flirted with fantasy. He produced the two most famous paintings in history, The Last Supper and the Mona Lisa. But in his own mind, he was just as much a man of science and technology.
