Resurgence of the warfare state
Robert Higgs
Exploring the politics and morality that pulled the United States into wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, this collection of essays, stories, and satirical pieces lambasts the highest officials in the executive branch for incompetence and moral blindness. Analyses of both wars and the crisis following 9/11 portray the conflicts as opportunities for special interests to entrench themselves in the U.S. government at the expense of U.S. citizens' civil liberties and tax dollars, and the lives of numerous Afghan and Iraqi non-combatants. Pulling no punches, this work holds George W. Bush and members of his cabinet accountable for acts that would have been prosecutable were the defendants in question not government entities.

Waters of Zion
Daniel C. McCool
In this first book-length discussion of Utah's water policies, contributors offer a comprehensive assessment of the political impact of water in the nation's second driest state. After examining the historical background, individual scholars focus on the Central Utah Project (CUP), the principal legislative plan for streamlining economic growth and demands on water resources in the state. Their analysis concentrates on four "water imperatives" - economics, environmental impact, social and cultural impact, and the question of fairness and equity when dividing this valuable resource. The authors describe the debate over priorities for water use, with agriculture, tourism, and urban development groups each staking a claim for their particular needs. They then examine in detail the various potential sources of water, proper maintenance of those sources, and effective methods for using water efficiently and conserving it. A concluding section places Utah water politics within the national context and discusses forthcoming state and national legislation that will affect Utah's water resources. This book should prove invaluable to general readers and policymakers alike who wish to learn more about Utah's water politics in anticipation of critical forthcoming legislative debates on these issues.
