An Insider’s Account of the Obama

Administration’s Emergency Rescue of the Auto Industry

From the vantage point of Obama’s “car czar” comes the first real look inside Team Obama. Steven Rattner was at the helm of the historic auto-industry intervention, and here he crafts a tightly plotted narrative of political brinkmanship, corporate mismanagement, and personalities under pressure in a high-stakes clash between Washington and Detroit. He also explains the tough choices he and his team made, working against a ticking clock and facing vocal opposition from free-market champions, to keep Chrysler and General Motors in operation.

Late in 1959, the Brown siblings—Maxine, Bonnie, and Jim Ed—were enjoying unprecedented international success, rivaled only by their longtime friend Elvis Presley. They had a bona fide megahit on their hands, which topped both the country and pop charts and gave rise to the polished sound of the multibillion dollar country music industry we know today. Rick Bass fictionalizes this band’s story as their celebrity struggled against the changing times, and fame began to fray the bonds of family.

Long before the Dog Whisperer, anthropologist Elizabeth Marshall Thomas revealed to readers the nature of pack dynamics, leading to a completely new understanding of dogs and their desires. In this fascinating account, based on thirty years of living with and observing dogs, we meet Misha, a friend’s husky, whom Thomas followed on his daily rounds of more than 130 square miles, and who ultimately provided the simple and surprising answer to the question, What do dogs want most? Not food, not sex, but other dogs. This paperback edition includes a new afterword by the author.
