Best Selling Books by Michael Wolff

The 2nd adventure in this new series. Two experimental robots have vanished while undergoing field tests on the surface of the Moon. All evidence points to the presence of an unknown person in the area, but no one can reasonably account for how the person could have been there. Sandra Swift decides to investigate and, accompanied by Bud Barclay, travels to the Swift Enterprises Moonbase. From there they go to the last reported position of the robots, but suddenly end up falling through a narrow crevice. Now trapped deep beneath the surface of the Moon, Sandy and Bud struggle for survival, exploring a vast system of underground caverns as they attempt to contact help. But they soon encounter additional mysteries in the form of a lost human colony living in a ruined spaceship, as well as an insane woman bent on revenge. Fighting to stay alive, Sandy and Bud join forces with the lost colony, squaring off against an adversary who will stop at nothing . . . including nuclear annihilation . . . to kill anyone who stands in her way.

Even if you already have a rich prayer life, it can be made all the richer through this journey into the Psalms.

If Rupert Murdoch isn''t making headlines, he''s busy buying the media outlets that generate them. Murdoch''s News Corp holdings - from The New York Post, Fox News, The Australian, and most recently The Wall Street Journal, to name just a few - are vast , and his power is unrivalled. So what makes a man like this tick? Michael Wolff gives us the definitive answer in The Man Who Owns The News. With unprecedented access to Murdoch himself, his associates, and family, Wolff chronicles the astonishing growth of the $70 billion media kingdom. In intimate detail he probes the Murdoch family dynasty, from the battles that have threatened to destroy it to the reconciliations that seem to only make it stronger. Drawing upon hundreds of hours of interviews, he offers accounts of the Dow Jones takeover as well as plays for Yahoo! and Newsday as they''ve never been revealed before. But Murdoch is more than a predatory and merciless deal-maker. His company does not only generate dizzying profits and growth rates. His company generates the information that forms our understanding of the world. He presides over what we read, what we watch, what we come to believe about ourselves, to an extent that is without serious parallel anywhere on earth. In the words of Michael Wolff, Murdoch ''held more power over more time than any other contemporary figure''. This is an opportunity to see and hear one of the most vivid, powerful, unusual, menacing and captivating men of the age. One of the central figures of our times. Written in the irresistible style that only an award-winning columnist for ''Vanity Fair'' can deliver, The Man Who Owns The News offers an exclusive glimpse into a man who wields extraordinary power and influence in the media on a worldwide scale - and whose family is being groomed to carry his legacy into the future.

Michael Wolff, autor do best-seller Fogo e fúria , nos leva mais uma vez aos bastidores do governo Trump para revelar uma Casa Branca cercada por todos os lados. Em O c erco, Wolff volta a escrever um livro explosivo sobre uma presidência que está sob fogo cruzado. No início do segundo ano de mandato, a situação de Trump mudou de forma radical. Ao deixar de ser apoiado por conselheiros experientes, ele se tornou mais impulsivo e instável do que nunca. Mas as engrenagens da justiça não param de funcionar: a "caça às bruxas" do procurador especial Robert Mueller assombrou o presidente, e outros promotores têm investigado a fundo seus negócios privados. Figuras políticas proeminentes de seu próprio partido — e até mesmo de sua equipe de governo — se voltaram contra ele e estão dispostas a derrubá-lo. A oposição, que se tornou maioria no Congresso americano nas eleições de meio de mandato, começa a ver a possibilidade de impeachment do presidente. Trump, por sua vez, tem certeza de que é inatingível, o que o torna ainda mais exposto e vulnerável. A cada semana, conforme o presidente se torna mais errático, uma questão se torna premente: será que Trump chega ao final do mandato? O cerco é uma narrativa envolvente, e uma investigação jornalística brilhante. Ao descrever as intrigas palacianas, os negócios suspeitos e as ameaças políticas, Wolff traça o retrato alarmante de uma presidência desgovernada. Sitiado pelos inimigos e alheio aos perigos ao seu redor, Trump é um personagem agressivo, autodestrutivo — e o líder que mais causou polarizações na sociedade norte-americana.

Carbon capture and storage (CCS) represents an important pathway for reducing greenhouse gas emissions in order to mitigate climate change. However, there is significant uncertainty about how the technology will be accepted by the public, which is difficult to predict for relatively unknown technologies such as CCS. As such, this thesis explores the use of a similar but better known technology-hydraulic fracturing-as an analogue for learning lessons about public acceptance of the geologic storage component of CCS. The thesis asks two questions: (1) What factors are associated with public acceptance of geologic storage? And (2) What actions should communities, regulators, and stakeholders take to ensure the safe and efficient deployment of CCS technology? The thesis investigates these questions using three separate but related analyses. A series of regressions explores links between states'' history of fossil fuel extraction and current regulatory attitudes toward hydraulic fracturing. A comparative case study characterizes trends in the development of laws and regulations related to hydraulic fracturing in three states: Pennsylvania, New York State, and Colorado. Finally, a survey identifies factors associated with positive and negative public perceptions of both hydraulic fracturing and CCS. The survey includes an experimental question that measures the extent to which compensation can be used to improve public acceptance for facility siting. Through these analyses, the thesis reaches several conclusions. States with an extensive history of fossil fuel extraction are more likely to regulate hydraulic fracturing with a moderate level of regulatory stringency, and similar tendencies toward CCS are likely. Municipalities are playing an increasingly significant role in the regulation of hydraulic fracturing, and are likely to be important stakeholders for CCS projects as well. A number of demographic and worldview factors are associated with public acceptance, but none were found to have substantial predictive power. However, the amount of compensation offered to nearby residents was found to have a moderate effect on public acceptance. Developers should therefore consider compensation a tool for increasing the likelihood of acceptance among residents nearby a potential project site. Policymakers should in turn institute market incentives such as robust carbon prices to foster a financial environment that encourages developers to engage with municipalities and residents.

Perovskite solar cells have become one of the most studied systems in the quest for new, cheap and efficient solar cell materials. Within a decade device efficiencies have risen to u003e25% in single-junction and u003e29% in tandem devices on top of silicon. This rapid improvement was in many ways fortunate, as e. g. the energy levels of commonly used halide perovskites are compatible with already existing materials from other photovoltaic technologies such as dye-sensitized or organic solar cells. Despite this rapid success, fundamental working principles must be understood to allow concerted further improvements. This thesis focuses on a comprehensive understanding of recombination processes in functioning devices. First the impact the energy level alignment between the perovskite and the electron transport layer based on fullerenes is investigated. This controversial topic is comprehensively addressed and recombination is mitigated through reducing the energy difference between the perovskite conduction band minimum and the LUMO of the ...
