America in Retreat: The New Isolationism and the Coming Global Disorder

Bret Stephens (Get this book)
Stephens eloquently warns of mounting U.S. isolationism and the chaos that may result. This compact volume responds to current concerns, particularly among progressives and libertarians, that the U.S. military is overly committed abroad. Readers of Stephens's "WSJ"columns will recognize persistent themes: the return of al-Qaeda and the future of Iran; escalating Russian aggression; and Chinese militarism. Given the U.S.'s recently renewed commitments in the Middle East, Stephens's clear, convincing apologia for American power will make especially timely reading for American foreign policy's skeptics and opponents.--Publisher's Weekly

The Ebola Survival Handbook: An MD Tells You What You Need to Know Now to Stay Safe

Joseph Alton, MD (Get this book)
As the Ebola epidemic becomes more frightening--and hits closer to home--people are looking for answers. How does it spread? Are we at risk? How do we protect ourselves and our families from this deadly disease? In this necessary new book, Dr. Joseph Alton, an MD who is at the forefront of crisis medicine, explains the virus, how it spreads, how to prevent infection, and what the right treatment protocol is if the virus is contracted. He explains in easy-to-understand language the latest research on how Ebola is transmitted and treated, including late-breaking research from the University of Minnesota that shows it may be transmissible by air.

As the Ebola crisis unfolds with increasing severity and an exponential mortality rate, it is becoming more obvious that our government does not have the skills and resources to protect us in the event of a fast-moving pandemic. This book should be required reading for anyone who wants to ensure the health and safety of themselves and their loved ones. (Publisher)

America in Retreat: The New Isolationism and the Coming Global Disorder

Bret Stephens (Get this book)
In his first book, the Pulitzer Prize-winning foreign affairs columnist for the Wall Street Journal surveys the tumultuous international scene and calls for America to do what great nations have always done: Lead. By any objective measure, writes Stephens, the United States is not in decline. We'll be the world's leading power for decades to come, the chief adversary for the likes of China, Russia and Iran, and "the preferred target for any ambitious terrorist group." For the past 10 years, however, the nation has been in retreat, shrinking from international responsibilities. In this mostly persuasive polemic, the author outlines the persistent tension in our history-in both major parties-between the impulse to retire entirely from the world or to try to save it. A provocative, carefully reasoned argument, anathema to politicians as disparate as Barack Obama and Rand Paul.--Kirkus
