It was to be a long-earned vacation for David Petrie and pretty wife Donna. A cross country tour from the St. Louis Arch to the bright lights of Las Vegas--and a final chance, perhaps, for cancer stricken daughter Pepsi to see the world. No airplanes, no trains...just a leisurely drive together where scenic beauty and unhurried back roads might bring them closer together, hold back time just a little. But unhurried roads sometimes lead to open deserts, merciless sun and a growing conviction in David's mind that he's somehow gotten his little family lost in the middle of nowhere. Until the...

India faces a defining period. Its status as a global power is not only recognized but increasingly institutionalized, even as geopolitical shifts create both opportunities and challenges. With critical interests in almost every multilateral regime and vital stakes in emerging ones, India has no choice but to influence the evolving multilateral order. If India seeks to affect the multilateral order, how will it do so? In the past, it had little choice but to be content with rule taking--adhering to existing international norms and institutions. Will it now focus on rule...

Since 2008, energy and food markets--those most fundamental to human existence--have remained in turmoil. Resource scarcity has had a much bigger global impact in recent years than has been predicted, with ongoing volatility a sign that the world is only part-way through navigating a treacherous transition in the way it uses resources. Scarcity, and perceptions of scarcity, increase political risks, while geopolitical turmoil exacerbates shortages and complicates the search for solutions.
"The New Politics of Strategic Resources" examines the political dimensions of strategic resource...

The last decade has seen a revolution in global energy. First, we saw explosive growth in demand from Asia's rising powers, which fueled fears about scarcity and conflict. But we've also seen an American revolution in technology and markets, resulting in a dramatic increase in sup-ply. This is strengthening America's hand in the world--but it's not without complications. There are major security consequences of these shifts. Among the most consequential are China and India, Asia's emerging giants, which are increasingly exposed to political risks associated with energy risks, as well as...

The story of an Idaho farm boy with ADD, only one station on his television and how he made it all work for him. Excitement, boredom, singers and half-naked showgirls gave him the education he couldn't find in a classroom. ABOUT THE AUTHOR: "Bruce Jones began his piano career at age sixteen while attending high school in Las Vegas.
