I denne boka tar hun leseren med inn i forskningens, forskningsjuksets og maktkampenes verden.

Devra Davis byr på sine egne møter med forskere som har påvist alvorlige skadevirkninnger, og hun forklarer deres funn og hvordan bransjen bransjen har arbeidet for å svekke dem. Boka viser hvordan myndighetene svikter, i USA, så vel som i FN-systemet og i land som Norge. Den norsk utgaven er oversatt og tilrettelagt av Einar Flydal. Han har i samarbeid med Devra Davis gjort vesentlige tilpasninger til situasjonen i Norge. Han har også føyd til nytt materiale.
Life for many feels like a blanket of fog, hanging heavy in our atmosphere. Fog can limit the depth of our vision, turn shapes into unrecognizable shapes, and if lingers long enough- can leave us feeling stuck, frustrated, and confused. The Clearing is a collection of poems, based on Biblical accounts of stories we've all grown to know and love. These poems are creatively written; as if the person experiencing the story has captured the fine details for us. The hope and prayer of this book is that it will be a welcome and warm invitation for each reader to dig deeper into the Scriptures and discover the clarity and the truth of God's love as the fog lifts. God has always been present and near, and His nearness is still available for each one of us to reach through the fog and touch Him today.

Steven Woodworth's previous book, the critically acclaimed Jefferson Davis and His Generals, won the prestigious Fletcher Pratt Award and was a main selection of the History Book Club. In that book he showed how the failures of Davis and his military leaders in the west paved the way for Confederate defeat. In Davis and Lee at War, he concludes his study of Davis as rebel commander-in-chief and shows how the lack of a unified purpose and strategy in the east sealed the Confederacy's fate.Woodworth argues that Davis and Robert E. Lee, the South's greatest military leader, had sharply conflicting views over the proper conduct of the war. Davis was convinced that the South should fight a defensive war, to simply outlast the North's political and popular support for the war. By contrast, Lee and the other eastern generals-notably P.G.T. Beauregard, Gustavus Smith, and Stonewall Jackson-were eager for the offensive. They were convinced that only quick and decisive battlefield victories would prevent the North from eventually defeating them with its overwhelming advantage in men and materials.Davis and Lee, Woodworth shows, shared a mutual respect for each other for most of the war. But it was respect mixed with a stubborn resistance to the other's influence. The result of this tense tug-of-war was Davis's misguided pursuit of a middle ground that gave neither strategy its best chance for success. The war finally ground to a bloody conclusion with Davis as indecisive as ever and virtually blind to how little confidence his generals had in his leadership.Drawing extensively upon the papers of Jefferson Davis and the works of leading Civil War historians, Woodworth places the eastern military campaigns in an entirely new light and expands our understanding of Davis as leader of the Confederacy.

*Includes pictures of each leader, and important people, places, and events in their life. *Includes an original introduction for each leader. *Includes a bibliography for each leader. Despite the fact that the Civil War began over 150 years ago, it remains one of the most widely discussed topics in America today, with Americans arguing over its causes, reenacting its famous battles, and debating which general was better than others. Americans continue to be fascinated by the Civil War icons who made the difference between victory and defeat in the war's great battles, as well as the presidents who oversaw them. The Confederacy and its leaders continue to be the most popular topics of Civil War history, as historians attempt to analyze exactly why they lost, and how to attribute blame and success to its leaders. Foremost among the South's leaders were President Jefferson Davis and his two most popular and successful generals, Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson. Jefferson Davis (1808-1889) holds a unique place in American history, as the man best remembered for being the president of the Confederacy during the Civil War. While other famous Confederates like Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson are still celebrated across the reunited country, Davis continues to be the object of scorn, derided over his attempt to flee after the Civil War and criticized as ineffective by historians. Among the Confederates still lauded by today's Southerners, Davis is well down the list. With the exception of George Washington, perhaps the most famous general in American history is Robert E. Lee (January 19, 1807 - October 12, 1870), despite the fact he led the Confederate Army of Northern Virginia against the Union in the Civil War. As the son of U.S. Revolutionary War hero Henry "Light Horse Harry" Lee III, and a relative of Martha Custis Washington, Lee was imbued with a strong sense of honor and duty from the beginning. And as a top graduate of West Point, Lee had distinguished himself so well before the Civil War that President Lincoln asked him to command the entire Union Army. Lee famously declined, serving his home state of Virginia instead after it seceded. Thomas Jonathan Jackson is one of the most famous generals of the Civil War, but many of the people he continues to fascinate probably don't remember his whole name. That's because Jackson earned his famous "Stonewall" moniker at the First Battle of Manassas or Bull Run, when Brigadier-General Bee told his brigade to rally behind Jackson, whose men were standing like a stone wall. Ironically, it's still unclear whether that was a compliment for standing strong or an insult for not moving his brigade, but the nickname stuck for the brigade and the general itself. The Leaders of the Confederacy: The Lives and Legacies of Jefferson Davis, Robert E. Lee, and Stonewall Jackson analyzes the lives of these three leaders, covering their career and examining their legacies. Along with pictures of the three men, and important people, places, and events in their lives, you will learn about the Leaders of the Confederacy like you never have before, in no time at all.
