President George W. Bush's first term has been among the most
consequential and successful in modern times. Under his leadership,
the United States is waging and winning the war against global
terrorism. The United States and its coalition partners liberated
more than 50 million people from two regimes of extraordinary
brutality that had provided safe haven to terrorists. And we are
promoting democracy in regions of the world that have never known
it. These achievements are anchored in a set of core beliefs:
America is a defender and promoter of freedom - and the advance of
freedom brings peace. We must lead the world with strength and
confidence. Religion should not be banned from the public square.
Government should encourage ownership and opportunity, compassion
and responsibility. The proper role of government is to create the
environment in which small business owners and entrepreneurs will
take risks and invest, hire workers and spark economic growth. Such
times demand a leader of clear convictions and determination, hope
and vision, integrity and the courage to act. These qualities are
the hallmarks of the Bush Presidency. There is much that remains to
be done - yet as this document illustrates, an enormous amount has
already been accomplished. President George W. Bush put forward a
historically ambitious agenda and restored dignity to the office he
holds. He has provided steady leadership in the face of
unprecedented challenges. The United States is safer and stronger,
more resilient and better for his efforts.

As one of North America's most unique ecologies, the Great Plains
have fostered symbiotic relationships between humans and animals
for millennia. Among these, Indigenous bonds to beavers, bison, and
horses have been the subject of numerous anthropological and
scientific surveys. Beaver, Bison, Horse is an interdisciplinary
account that centers on Indigenous knowledge and tradition. R.
Grace Morgan's research, considered essential reading in the field,
shows an ecological understanding that sustained Indigenous Peoples
for thousands of years prior to colonial contact, with critical
information on how the beaver manages water systems and protects
communities from drought on the Plains. Morgan's work is a
game-changer. For the first time in print, her important research
now appears with a foreword by James Daschuk, bestselling and
award-winning author of Clearing the Plains , and an afterword by
Cristina Eisenberg, author of The Carnivore Way and The Wolf's
Tooth . "Morgan's work takes archaeological interpretations beyond
basic descriptions of past technologies and foodways to
considerations of how Indigenous Plains Peoples interacted with and
maintained their lands-and why they occupied their lands as they
did. Further, Eisenberg's final chapter brings Morgan's work into a
contemporary context."- David Meyer , Professor Emeritus,
Department of Archeology and Anthropology, University of
Saskatchewan "An important book. The detail on beaver habitat
manipulation...is rich and nuanced and cannot be found elsewhere."-
Norman Henderson , author of Rediscovering the Great Plains

George Gerbner's cultivation theory provides a framework for the
analysis of relationships between television viewing and attitudes
and beliefs about the world. Since the 1970s, cultivation analysis
has been a lens through which to examine television's contributions
to conceptions of violence, sex roles, political attitudes and
numerous other phenomena. Hundreds of studies during this time have
(mostly) found that there are relationships between television
exposure and people's worldviews, but important questions remain:
just how big are these relationships, are they real, are some
people more vulnerable to them than others, do they vary across
different topics, and will we continue to find them in new media
environments? In this collection of nineteen chapters, leading
scholars review and assess the most significant developments in
cultivation research in the past ten years. The book highlights
cutting-edge research related to these questions and surveys
important recent advances in this evolving body of work. The
contributors point us toward new directions and fresh challenges
for cultivation theory and research in the future.
Not very long ago, the uninhibited use of mathematics in the
development of software was regarded as something for academics
alone. Today, there is moreand more interest from industry in
formal methods based on mathematics. This interest has come from
the success of a number of experiments on real industrial
applications. Thus, there is not only a belief, but also evidence,
that the study of computer programs as mathematical objects leads
to more efficient methods for constructing them. The papers in this
volume were presented at the Second International Conference on the
Mathematics of Program Construction, held at St. Catherine's
College, Oxford, June 29 - July 3, 1992. The conference was
organized by the Oxford University Programming Research Group, and
continued the theme set by the first - the use of crisp, clear
mathematics in the discovery and design of algorithms. The second
conference gives evidence of the ever-widening impact of precise
mathematical methods in program development. There are papers
applying mathematics not only to sequential programs but also to
parallel and on-current applications, real-time and reactive
systems, and to designs realised directly in hardware. The volume
includes 5 invited papers and 19 contributed papers.
In Argentina, tango isn't just the national music it's a national
brand. But ask any contemporary Argentine if they ever really
listen to it and chances are the answer is no: tango hasn't been
popular for more than fifty years. In this book, Morgan James Luker
explores that odd paradox by tracing the many ways Argentina draws
upon tango as a resource for a wide array of economic, social, and
cultural that is to say, non-musical projects. In doing so, he
illuminates new facets of all musical culture in an age of
expediency when the value and meaning of the arts is less about the
arts themselves and more about how they can be used. Luker traces
the diverse and often contradictory ways tango is used in Argentina
in activities ranging from state cultural policy-making to its
export abroad as a cultural emblem, from the expanding nonprofit
arts sector to tango-themed urban renewal projects. He shows how
projects such as these are not peripheral to an otherwise "real"
tango they are the absolutely central means by which the values of
this musical culture are cultivated. By richly detailing the
interdependence of aesthetic value and the regimes of cultural
management, this book sheds light on core conceptual challenges
facing critical music scholarship today.
Over the past eight years, President Bush has set clear guiding
principles, and applied those principles to confront great
challenges at home and abroad. These are the highlights of the
accomplishments from the Administration of President George W. Bush
and Vice President Richard B. Cheney.
"I've been witness to the character of the people of America,
who have shown calm in times of danger, compassion for one another,
and toughness for the long haul. All of us have been partners in a
great enterprise." President George W. Bush
Our success in preventing future terrorist attacks depends upon our
ability to gather, analyze, and share information and intelligence
regarding those who want to attackus, the tactics that they use,
and the targets that they intend to attack. Our NationalStrategy
for Combating Terrorism, issued in September 2006, recognizes that
the War on Terroris a different kind of war, which requires a
paradigm shift and the application of all elementsof our national
power and influence. The intelligence and information sharing
structures thatonce enabled the winning of the Cold War now require
greater flexibility and resilience toconfront the threats facing
our Nation from a transnational terrorist movement determinedto
destroy our people, our freedoms, and our way of life.
