Deepak Gahlowt deepakgahlowt — I wish I could put a copy of this book into the hands of every US voter -- more accurately, I wish I could have done so before the midterm elections, so that voters would have been able to give themselves a better assessment of the views of the candidates on offer; the results would assuredly have been very different. In a text not much longer, if at all, than the Tom Paine tract its title homages, it spells out very readably exactly the nature of the climate-change problem facing us, the corruptness of the arguments of those who try to persuade us it doesn't exist, what we can do to solve it, and how, rather than approaching the solution as if it were some kind of a burden we can instead regard it as the glorious economic opportunity it in fact is. The authors have gone out of their way to avoid making this a partisan broadside, even going to the extent of citing the famous George W. Bush address to Congress in which, years late, he finally acknowledged the existence of global warming and emptily promised to do something about it. If you're unlucky enough to have someone in your family dumb enough to have swallowed the line that gross excesses of CO2 in the atmosphere just mean there's more plant food to go around, here's the ideal stocking stuffer for them.

叶 明 _eaf_andering — I have been a huge fan of Margaret Truman since I dive into Capital Crimes mysteries a couple of years ago. This is probably going to be the last book in the series since she died in January of last year. This book is a complex tale that weaves together two storylines, each with its own mystery, in a way that culminates in one conclusion. The first centers around the murder of a prostitute named Rosalie Curzon. She was beaten to death in her apartment, but it seems that she might have the last laugh because she had a habit of recording her trysts with her star-powered clients. During the initial search, the police come across them and are able to identify some of her johns, giving them leads to follow up. The team is led by veteran detective Walter Hatcher. He is an Old-World police officer, who is good at his job, but has a bad habit of making some less-than-appropriate comments about people who are not white, straight, or male. This leads him into some trouble with some of the newer officers, who have filed a complaint against him. He is having similar troubles (though without an actual complaint filed) with one of his trainees, Matt Jackson, who is of mixed parental heritage. He and Mary Hall, the woman he loves and his partner, are quickly drawn into the center of the investigation, which points right back at the department and some major political bigwigs. At the same time, the nation is facing a major election. Robert Colgate is the liberal leaning challenger that is taking on the unpopular President Burton Pyle in the campaign. He is also known for being a womanizer. It is his good friend and confidante who is at the core of the other mystery in the novel. Jerry Rollins and his family are out in Washington having a nice picnic when his young daughter is kidnapped. Officers Jackson and Hall are pulled of their murder case to help, but they quickly learn that it is not necessarily a completely different case. A big part of me doubts that Truman really wrote this final volume in the series. The book is missing the usual historical and visual descriptions of Washington's most interesting locales. In a way, she had an ability to select appropriate locations for the story and making them characters in their own right, and teaching the reader about them in the process. There is only one example of that toward the end of the book. The writing is also a bit lacking throughout the book, creating scenes and dialog that lurch about. Some characters are well developed while others become cookie cutter clichés that are both predictable and out of place for Truman, who has always done a wonderful job of creating complex and realistic characters. She may have started writing this book, but the publisher would have done a better service to her memory to allow the series to stand on the last release rather than leaving readers with this as their final memory of a great mystery writer and the daughter of President Harry Truman.

Lars Anttila lanttila — The Art of War If I need to write a review for this book, you have missed something along the way.

Ahmed Zizo ahmedzizo — Really a great book.

Clemente Massaro massarocl — Hmmm, it seems I need to get the first two volumes before I can delve into this series. My bad!
