Octavo, burgundy & purple boards (hardcover), 351 pp. Former-owner inscription; otherwise, Fine in a Fine dust jacket. From dust jacket: or decades, politicians have promised to protect America's wetlands, a valuable resource that keeps the water supply clean and protects against flooding. Yet every year thousands of acres are paved over by subdivisions, stores and parking lots -- particularly in Florida, which has lost more wetlands than any other state. In this hard-hitting book, St. Petersburg Times investigative journalist Craig Pittman and Matthew Waite explain how taxpayers who think they're paying for wetland protection have been stuck with a program that creates the illusion of enivronmental protection while doing little to stem the tide of destruction. Pittman and Waite spent three years investigating the federal and state agencies who wouldn't say no to developers. They traveled throughout the state, interviewed hundreds of people, dug through thousands of documents, and even analyzed satellite imagery to figure out how many swamps and marshes have been wiped out by sprawl. They discovered a system where a minus can equal a plus, dry land masquerades as wet, and supposedly scientific test results don't count if they yield an undesirable answer. They found politicians from both parties who pay lip service to protecting the environment but really only care about how quickly their contributors can get permits. And they found regulators whose work costs the taxpayers millions, yet say their only power is to delay wetland destruction, not deny it. A potent combination of groundbreaking historical research and no-holds-barred reporting, this book portrays a landscape that has been compromised by greed, fear, and incompetence.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - In exotic and turbulent nineteenth century China, a wise-cracking customs official must discard his opium pipe and his nightly companions to find out who murdered his best friend, a search which embroils him in a geopolitical battle between three empires.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - When Eight Countries gang up to plunder an aging empire, only a fool would get in their way.The Brits called it the Boxer Rebellion, but the 'Boxers' called themselves YiHeQuan; Righteous Fist, and they faced off against the Eight Nation Alliance, their ambitious plan being to rid China of foreigners. It was going to be a bloodbath. Our hero, however, had better things to do; opium, female companionship and some innocuous bribery and corruption. With any luck he'd be able to sidestep any seismic shift in the tectonic plates of the Orient. But lady luck is fickle, and the 'troubles' catch our hero literally with his pants down.
