Synopsis Preserving Cultural Landscapes in America by : Arnold Robert Alanen
Winner of the Society for Architectural Historians Antoinette Forrester Downing AwardWinner of the Merit Award for Communications from the American Society of Landscape ArchitectsWinner of the Allen Noble Award from the Pioneer America Society Historic preservation efforts began with an emphasis on buildings, especially those associated with significant individuals, places, or events. Subsequent efforts were expanded to include vernacular architecture, but only in recent decades have preservationists begun shifting focus to the land itself. Cultural landscapes—such as farms, gardens, and urban parks—are now seen as projects worthy of the preservationist's attention. To date, however, no book has addressed the critical issues involved in cultural landscape preservation. In Preserving Cultural Landscapes in America, Arnold R. Alanen and Robert Z. Melnick bring together a distinguished group of contributors to address the complex academic and practical questions that arise when people set out to designate and preserve a cultural landscape. Beginning with a discussion of why cultural landscape preservation is important, the authors explore such topics as the role of nature and culture, the selling of heritage landscapes, urban parks and cemeteries, Puerto Rican neighborhoods in New York City, vernacular landscapes in small towns and rural areas, ethnographic landscapes, Asian American imprints on the western landscape, and integrity as a value in cultural landscape preservation.

Synopsis Preserving America's Strength in Satellite Technology by : James Andrew Lewis
From the Center for Strategic and International Studies comes a report on U.S. military use of satellites in space as a way to maintain "information superiority." They explore possible ways to encourage the building of satellite infrastructure by U.S. companies and examine the military's response to opponents' use of satellite imagery and other satellite information. They argue that current technology transfer restrictions are actually hurting the U.S. satellite companies, leading to a satellite gap. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR

Synopsis The Character of American Democracy by : Jill Long Thompson
"We live in an age that demonstrates the powerful need for ethics in government. Democracy is a privilege that carries with it important responsibilities for the people and their representatives. As we look back on this era and determine the future of this nation, Dr. Long Thompson's book will be a resource for Americans who are seeking ways to secure our democracy and our future as a nation." Congressman John Lewis, Georgia's 5th District. Ethical leadership, steeped in integrity and fairness, matters. The future of our nation and our world depends upon the quality of America's character. In this uncompromising, absorbing look at our government and society today, Jill Long Thompson persuasively argues that we all have a meaningful role to play in shaping America's character and future. The citizenry, as well as their elected officials, are responsible for protecting fairness of participation and integrity in elections, as well as in the adoption and execution of laws. In this troubling time when the public is losing trust and confidence in our government, Jill Long Thompson shows us a bipartisan way forward.
