Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Tells the behind-the-scenes contribution of entrepreneurial Congressional staff, who planted the seeds of public interest bills in their bosses' minds and manoeuvred to counteract the influence of lobbyists to pass laws in consumer protection, public health, and other policy arenas. This insider account draws on interviews and the author's fifteen years serving on the Senate Commerce Committee.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Centred on the former slaving port of Ouidah, Benin, Dana Rush's research extends through Togo to Ghana, a region where exchanges of histories, ideas, and belief systems are given material forms. This is a land where Shango, Jesus, and the Buddha are all gods of Vodun; where Hindu and Vodun deities co-exist in symbiosis; where the spirits of people enslaved 150 years ago are paid tribute by the children of their long-lost masters; and where Haitian, Brazilian, and Cuban images, artists, and spirits remain relevant to contemporary West African practices.
