...fact is between tribes of Arab origins over resources because years of drought that hit the area made the scarcity of resources one reason for conflict; between nomads and peasants; and between nomads themselves because grazing lands have become limited due to the decline in rainfall. Conflict, therefore, between youth that herd their livestock is likely. We maintain that there is a problem in Darfur, and its main reason is environmental before anything else.

...Henry eventually learns to control his ailment, to the extent that he can lurch back through time and meet Clare when she was a child. This is a powerful device: lovers often wish they could have met, or at least have had glimpses of, their soul mates in their youth. His time-traveling into the future also allows Clare to have an adulterous affair with her own husband. (It's very complicated.)

The narrative stays tightly focused on candidates and political issues almost to a fault - glossing over the broader cultural momentum that helped propel Obama to a decisive win. There is no mention of Will.i.am's viral "Yes We Can" music video that galvanized youth support, or of Shepard Fairey's ubiquitous "Hope" graphic, which lent the candidate street cred and fed the perception that he hovered above conventional politics. The authors mention Tina Fey's Saturday Night Live impression of Sarah Palin, but don't convey the damage it inflicted by so deftly portraying...
