Energy Crises
Nixon, Ford, Carter, and Hard Choices in the 1970s

Cowboy Presidents
The Frontier Myth and U.S. Politics since 1900
Cowboy Presidents gives us a new, clarifying perspective on how Americans shape and understand their national identity and sense of purpose; at the same time, reflecting on the essential mutability of a quintessentially national myth, the book suggests that the next iteration of the frontier myth may well be on the horizon.
A Politician Thinking
The Creative Mind of James Madison
Engaging and accessible, A Politician Thinking offers new insight concerning a key constitutional thinker and the foundations of the American constitutional system.
