Trade paperback. Zustand: Very good. Presumed first edition/first printing. Trade paperback (US). Glued binding. 196 p. : Illustrations, black & white. Footnotes. Index. Cover has slight wear and soiling. After completing his undergraduate degree at Clark University, Thor Hogan worked for two years as a speechwriter and deputy communications director for the Democratic Party in Massachusetts - while going to law school at night. In 1998, Thor moved to Washington, DC to start graduate work at the Trachtenberg School of Public Policy and Public Administration at The George Washington University. At the same time, he began an eight-year career as a policy researcher at a series of think tanks - this included half a decade as a project director within the RAND Corporation's Science and Technology Policy Institute. In this capacity, he was the principal investigator on numerous studies conducted for the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP). This is part of the NASA History Series. President George W. Bush s speech at NASA Headquarters unveiled the Vision for Space Exploration, the long-term plan that gave the space agency a new direction, away from the space shuttle and space station and towards a human return to the Moon and, eventually, human missions to Mars. At that time the announcement drew comparisons to the Space Exploration Initiative (SEI), the last major effort by a president to reshape the direction of NASA, with corresponding concerns that the Vision would meet a similar, unfortunate fate. Hogan goes beyond a simple recounting of history in Mars Wars to look at some of the reasons why SEI failed. First and foremost, arguably, were the conflicts between the White House and NASA administrator Richard Truly.

Trade paperback. Zustand: Very good. Presumed First Edition, First printing. [4], iii, [1], 188 pages. Illustrations. Footnotes. Index. This is one of the NASA History Series. After completing his undergraduate degree at Clark University, Thor Hogan worked for two years as a speechwriter and deputy communications director for the Democratic Party in Massachusetts â" while going to law school at night. In 1998, Thor moved to Washington, DC to start graduate work at the Trachtenberg School of Public Policy and Public Administration at The George Washington University. At the same time, he began an eight-year career as a policy researcher at a series of think tanks â" this included half a decade as a project director within the RAND Corporation's Science and Technology Policy Institute. In this capacity, he was the principal investigator on numerous studies conducted for the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP). This work was the 2007 winner of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics History Manuscript Award. On the 20th anniversary of the first human landing on the Moon, President Bush had stood atop these very steps and proposed a long-range exploration plan that included the successful construction of an orbital space station, a permanent return to the Moon, and a human mission to Marsâ"this enterprise became known as the Space Exploration Initiative (SEI). The president charged the newly reestablished National Space Council with providing concrete alternatives for meeting these objectives. This work recounts the story of the rise of Space Exploration Initiative (SEI) and its eventual demise. Tells of organizational, cultural, and personal confrontation. Organizational skirmishes involved the Space Council versus NASA, the White House versus congressional appropriators, and the Johnson Space Center versus the rest of the space agency--all seeking control of the national space policy process.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This book proposes a radical reorganization of political and electoral power to address the current political imbalance between urban and rural populations in the United States. Hogan argues that, despite being smaller in population, a 'financialist-ruralist coalition' has effectively used the Constitution-especially equal representation in the Senate-to create an anti-urban 'vetocracy.' This political imbalance protects the interests of the financial elite and rural cultural conservatives, while effectively blocking urban interests, particularly regarding the adoption of a broad range of structural reforms and progressive policy preferences. By re-dividing many of the largest federated states into smaller city-states, the book posits, the United States would reduce the ability of non-urban interests to control the Senate. This would allow an empowered urbanite alliance to pass the forward-looking legislation the nation needs to remain internationally competitive in the coming decades.
