Debt crises have placed strains not only on the European Union's
nascent federal system but also on the federal system in the United
States. Old confrontations over fiscal responsibility are being
renewed, often in a more virulent form, in places as far flung as
Detroit, Michigan, and Valencia, Spain, to say nothing of Greece
and Cyprus. Increasing the complexity of the issue has been public
sector collective bargaining, now a component of most federal
systems. The attendant political controversies have become the
debate of a generation. Paul Peterson and Daniel Nadler have
assembled experts from both sides of the Atlantic to break down the
structural flaws in federal systems of government that have led to
economic and political turmoil. Proposed solutions offer ways to
preserve and restore vibrant federal systems that meet the needs of
communities struggling for survival in an increasingly unified
global economy. Contributors: Andrew G. Biggs (American Enterprise

It started as just another interview. Young journalist Danielle
Nadler agreed to call an old man who had lived 50 years in the
wilderness of the Sierra Nevada mountains. Through their weekly
conversations, the mountaineer boasts of his decades of outdoor
survival only to eventually reveal his personal tragedies that
drove him to life in the wild. Without a Trace drops readers into
the California mountain town of Bishop alongside the man locals
call Sierra Phantom just as he surrenders to life with an address,
and searches for a renewed purpose and community with which to
share it.
