...have to market it a different way," says Weisser. That's the case for Paul B. Carroll and Chunka Mui, whose Billion Dollar Lessons, which chronicles the biggest business failures in the past 20 years, came out in September, right before Wall Street firms started collapsing. "They're seeing common threads of what got these companies into trouble, so they are applying what they know to the news headlines," says Weisser. Similarly, David Smick's book The World is Curved: Hidden Dangers to the Global Economy reached shelves a month ago. The material is right on target, although the title...
...instead that you could stabilize carbon concentration simply by capping carbon emissions at their current level. That's not the case - and in fact, pursuing such a plan for the future would virtually guarantee that global warming could spin out of control. It may seem to many like good common sense to wait until we see proof of the serious damage global warming is doing before we take action.

There are patriots who supported this war in Iraq and patriots who opposed it; patriots who believe in Democratic...
Cross-border strikes are an increasingly common tactic by U.S. forces operating along the Afghanistan-Pakistan border. U.S. missile-launching drones reportedly killed at least 20 people on Sunday in Pakistan's South Waziristan province close to the Afghan border, an area suspected of harboring al-Qaeda and Taliban fighters. Andrew Exum, a former U.S. Army officer who served in Iraq and Afghanistan as well as founder of the influential Abu Muqawama counterinsurgency blog, suggests that the American action in Syria shows that the tactic may simply have been exported.
