Inscription reads: Tom--To a real energy leader. Thanks for all you do to help us power America. Hope you enjoy the Read. Spencer Abraham. Includes Acknowledgments Preface Introduction Conclusion Bibliography and Index. Chapters include Energy Myths and Facts; Threats to Our Energy and Environmental Security; Why We Have Failed to Address Our Energy Security Threats; and The Road Ahead. Edward Spencer Abraham born June 12 1952 is an American attorney author and politician who was a United States Senator from Michigan from 1995 to 2001 and the tenth United States Secretary of Energy serving under President George W. Bush from 2001 to 2005. Abraham a Republican is one of the founders of the Federalist Society and a co-founder of the Harvard Journal of Law and Public Policy. To date Abraham is the last Republican to serve as a U.S. Senator from Michigan. Abraham was elected to represent Michigan in the United States Senate in 1994 and he served until 2001 when he was defeated for reelection to the Senate in 2000 for a second term by Debbie Stabenow. According to the New York Times State Republicans attributed his loss to "scathing advertisements by a wide range of special interest groups including advertisements that criticized Mr. Abraham's support for a relaxation of some immigration restrictions". In 1996 when President Clinton endorsed Congresswoman Barbara Jordan's proposed cuts to legal immigration Senator Abraham played a leading role in blocking the proposed cuts. Abraham focused on a pragmatic energy strategy that called for blending a variety of energy sources including nuclear clean coal solar wind and natural gas with a more determined effort at improving energy efficiency through the deployment of smart energy grids and buildings to help meet our challenges while preserving our economy and the environment. The Ten Myths are provided to the reader in bold print on the first page of the first chapter of the book: 1. We can achieve energy independence. 2. If gas prices rise abruptly it must be due to an oil company conspiracy. 3. Global warming is a complete hoax 4. Nuclear plants are just as unsafe as they were at 3 Mile Island. 5. Renewable energy is universally popular and completely safe for the environment. 6. We are entering the age of natural gas that will follow the ages of coal and oil and it will largely solve our energy problems. 7. Raising CAFE Corporate Average Fuel Economy standards 30% will produce 30% reduction in oil consumption. 8. Electrical transmission lines cause cancer. 9. All you have to do is to choose the right energy technology and subsidize it. 10. All we need is a new Manhattan Project to solve our energy needs. The book addresses each of these 'myths'.

The ongoing war on terror instability in the Middle East and a faltering world economy are capturing headlines everywhere. But through it all runs a disturbing current of which many people are only dimly aware. Anti-Semitism which had been on the decline worldwide since the end of World War II has over the past few years made a perilous return. How could the twenty-first century--the new millennium launched with such optimism just a few short years ago--have so quickly been marred by the emergence of age-old hatreds now armed with the powers of global terrorism As national director of the Anti-Defamation League Abraham H. Foxman fights against the menace of intolerance every day. As a result of the disturbing events of the last few years he is convinced that we currently face as great a threat to the safety and security of the Jewish people as we faced in the 1930s. Foxman writes: "Within living memory we' ve seen what can happen when a nation or a continent experiences an unrestrained outbreak of anti-Semitism. The Jews of the world--and all people of goodwill who share their desire for a just and free society--learned a series of critical lessons from the tragic history of the twentieth century. Today we understand how important it is to recognize the emergence of new forms of anti-Semitism so that we can warn the world and stave off the worst effects. " Anti-Semitism remains a pernicious form of ethnic and religious intolerance with consequences for all of humankind. In communities from the United States to the Middle East Europe to South Africa and Latin America Jews are being persecuted in old and new ways. Exploring the history of anti-Semitismand providing the first comprehensive examination of the new rampant anti-Jewish sentiment worldwide "Never Again offers a crucial discussion of the steps that must be taken to prevent this century from witnessing a replay of the horrors of the last.
