ISBN: 9780700618354 / Angielski / Twarda / 312 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Faced with crises that would challenge any president, Barack Obama authorized "pay czar" Kenneth Feinberg to oversee the $20 billion fund for victims of the BP oil spill and to establish--and enforce--executive pay guidelines for companies that received $700 billion in federal bailout money. Feinberg's office comes with vastly expansive policy powers along with seemingly deep pockets; yet his position does not formally fit anywhere within our government's constitutional framework. The very word "czar" seems inappropriate in a constitutional republic, but it has come to describe any...

In 2010, the country continues to shrink its space ambition as it has since the early 1990s. The American era of human space flight is essentially over. How did this happen? Falling Back to Earth shows that it was triggered by the fall of the Berlin Wall and the precipitous end of the Cold War that effectively ended large-scale government science initiatives and sped the decline of the aerospace and defense industries. The story is told by Mark Albrecht, President...
