Oiling the wheels of politics...
Investigative journalist Robert Bryce looks at the past and present of corporate welfare, Texas style, in this easy to read and relevant volume.
Every Crony's Big in Texas
Robert Bryce's previous book, Pipe Dreams, was a brilliant and rampaging indictment of corporate hubris, and that led into this book about the Texas energy industry's influence on modern American politics. This one tackles wider-ranging issues, and consequently is a little less powerful, although Bryce is a strong investigative journalist who is great at finding patterns and influences hidden beneath vast trends of politics and finance. Not only do Texas politicians and their cronies hold unprecedented power these days, but a uniquely Texas-style form of governance has taken over in Washington. Bryce begins his study in the early 20th century when the oil barons in Texas started to gain political power that reached far beyond the local oil fields. And Bryce's major investigative breakthrough here is in how the current neoconservative philosophy of government is directly descended from old Texas wheeling and dealing that empowered filthy rich oil plutocrats.
The real bellwether state
It has often been said that California is a bellwhether state, in that it sets trends that are followed by the rest of the US.In terms of culture and entertainment, this is true, but in terms of politics and economics, I would give that title to Texas after reading this book.

The Biography of a Rock Formation
Even though I've been years out of grad school and spend most of my geoexperience teaching earth science to 9th graders, I had to get this book, knowing that a lot of it would be over the top of my rusty geobrain.I live in SoCal and have experience with the Monterey Formation and other time contemporaneous formations.This book is nothing less than the biography of a rock formation and the most thorough book I've seen written about one rock formation.This book is not for the casual browser.If you haven't had at least Geo 101, stay away.My main complaint is with the price.I know this book has a limited audience and the company is probably charging what the market will bear, but how about a bigger break on the paperback edition.With lower prices on the paperbacks, maybe textbooks and technical books would have a wider audience. ...
