About this book
"Nevada's politics have been formed in large measure by its turbulent history and harsh environment. Bowers' concise volume explains the dynamics of this process, which is strikingly unique among the fifty states. This is a readable and insightful explanation of how Nevada's history has formed its political culture, and how its government works today. The Sagebrush State includes the full text of the state constitution, with extensive annotations of all amendments to the original 1864 document. The Sagebrush State serves as a text for the study of Nevada's history and constitution, which is a graduation requirement at the state's colleges and universities. The fourth edition of this work is updated through 2012 to include information on the elections of 2010 and 2012 and recent controversial sessions of the Legislature"-- "Nevada's politics have been shaped by its turbulent history and harsh environment.

Entretiens malgaches
Raymond William Rabemananjara
Au Cours d'un long chemin voué à la chose publique, les deux interlocuteurs, A.R. Ratsimamanga et R.W. Rabemananjara furent confrontés, au service de la Terre des Ancêtres, à des situations complexes et périlleuses qui ont formé leur expérience, en dehors des jugements précipités, des affirmations hasardeuses ou des préjugés. Ainsi les leçons de la vie ont-elles été des guides précieux. Pourquoi ne pas les partager avec ceux qui privilégient le dialogue au-delà des différences ?
