New York: Free Press, 2007. First edition. First edition stated. First printing stated. Hardcover. Very good/very good. xv, [1] 463, [1] p. Illustrations. Source Notes. Index. Dead Certain is a story told in six sections. Beginning with an immersion into Bush the nascent politician (entitled "Baptism"), we see in "Through Our Tears" a mandate-less new President evincing both collegiality and defensiveness as he pursues his conservative agenda. "Dark City On A Hill" describes the contentiousness that attends the roll-up to Iraq and the queasy slide from Mission Accomplished to the occupation of a broken nation. The final section, "A Laying On Of Hands, " finds a once-swaggering presidency desperately moving from one gambit to another in an effort to right its sagging agenda, culminating in the 2006 midterm elections that decide the fate of a hobbled administration. Far from being a retelling of well-known events, Dead Certain plumbs both the natural drama and the behind-the-scenes granularity of George W. Bush's episodic presidency. It will be regarded as a classic, inside account of this troubled presidency., Free Press, 2007, 3, New York: PublicAffairs, 2008. Third Printing. Hardcover. Very good/very good. xiv, 341, [1] p.

Inscription by Mark Green reads 1/30/04 Pat, With great affection, admiration & gratitude. Best, Mark. A critical look at the presidency of George W. Bush reveals how the current administration has used misstatements, half-truths, distortions, and other deceptions to mislead Americans and how this manipulation has led to failed policies, hindered homeland security, damaged foreign relations, and undermined efforts to improve the economy. Eric Alterman (born January 14, 1960) is an American historian, journalist, author, media critic, blogger, and educator. He is a CUNY Distinguished Professor of English and Journalism at Brooklyn College and the author of eleven books. From 1995 to 2020, Alterman was "The Liberal Media" columnist for The Nation. He is a contributing writer there. Mark Joseph Green (born March 15, 1945) is an American author, former public official, public interest lawyer, and Democratic politician from New York City. Green was New York City Consumer Affairs Commissioner from 1990 to 1993 and New York City Public Advocate from 1994 to 2002. Green won Democratic primaries for the U.S. House of Representatives, U.S. Senate, and mayor of New York City, in each case losing the general election. Clearly a partisan shot timed for the election, this book provides, perhaps, as much (or more) insight into the policies and perspective of the liberal wing of the Democratic Party as it contributes to a balanced understanding of President George W. Bush. An anti-Bush reviewer opined of this work "A close analysis of the policies and statements of the American president, dissecting them and revealing political propaganda, lies, contradictions, ideological mainsprings, as well as discussing the political and economic power bases that Bush relies upon and which he owes 'debts' to and must take direction from." Derived from a Kirkus review: A latter-day doomsday catalogue of the sins, errors, and perhaps even crimes of the sitting president. Alterman and Freen issue a sweeping, powerful indictment of Bush 43. Bush the Younger presented himself as an affable, unassuming fellow on the campaign trail, apparently committed to bipartisanship and government from the happy middle. But once he took office, they argue he represented the most extreme wing of an already conservative party. Bush quickly showed his true colors by opening up the public domain to exploitation and surrounding himself with advisorsDick Cheney, for one, who said in 2003 that he had no financial interest in Halliburton Corp., now growing richer "rebuilding" Iraq, a true statement only if you ignore the $160,000 annual pension he receives from the company he once headed. Moreover, Alterman and Green add, Bush has chosen to fight one of the most far-ranging wars in modern history, cutting taxes in wartime, and refusing to take any action to reduce American reliance on foreign oil, Don't get them started on presidential lies, or half-truths, or misleading statements, or "faith-based" distortions.

The half title page is foxed, else an immaculate copy. "In this lavishly illustrated publication, Mike Weaver discusses the work of Julia Margaret Cameron, an English photographer known for her painterly approach to her subjects. Weaver's essay analyzes Mrs. Cameron's approach to photography as evidenced in the Overstone Album, a collection of 109 of her albumen prints. These prints, which were made between January 1864 and July 1865, were divided into three categories—"Portraits," "Madonna Groups," and "Fancy Subjects for Pictorial Effect"—with annotations by Mrs. Cameron about the images and where they were made. Weaver provides invaluable insight into Mrs. Cameron's life and art and identifies her many sources and concerns, both secular and rel, Books<
