This is a book for anyone interested in saving the Great Lakes, a huge fresh-water system that contains about 25 percent of the world's fresh surface water. The book asks---and answers---important questions about the export and diversion of Great Lakes water. Not only does Great Lakes for Sale examine past and present water-diversion practices; it also shows readers what they can do to save this natural resource. http://www.press.umich.edu/podcasts/dempsey.mp3 Tue, 6 May 2008 7:01:00 EST water, water conservation, great lakes, michigan, bottling, natural resources Author Michael Lewis-Beck talks about his book The American Voter Revisited, co-authored by William G. Jacoby, Helmut Norpoth, and Herbert F. Weisberg. The American Voter Revisited re-creates the outstanding 1960 classic The American Voter---which was based on the presidential elections of 1952 and 1956---following the same format, theory, and mode of analysis as the original. In this new volume, the authors test the ideas and methods of the original against presidential election surveys from 2000 and 2004. Surprisingly, the contemporary American voter is found to behave politically much like voters of the 1950s. http://www.press.umich.edu/podcasts/lewisbeck.mp3 Thu, 17 Apr 2008 7:01:00 EST election, voting, presidential elections, presidential campaigns, political science, political psychology, voting behavior, voter behavior, George W.
