by Haynes Johnson · Norton

National bestseller: In this brilliantly readable book, a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist chronicles the Reagan decade, when America fell from dominant world power to struggling debtor nation and when optimism turned to foreboding. In human terms and living case histories, Haynes Johnson captures the drama and tragedy of an era nurtured by greed and a morality that found virtue in not getting caught. "It is morning again in America," Reagan's campaign commercials told us, and for too long we embraced that convenient lie. Indeed, the problems that came to plague us in that decade are with us even more today, as Johnson memorably demonstrates in--his afterword, "Notes on an Era," written especially for this new paperback reissue. This book will remain a signature work of political analysis for years to come.

Debra Tannen’s You Just Don’t Understand draws upon groundbreaking research by an acclaimed sociolinguist to show that women and men live in different worlds, made of different words. Using lively and entertaining examples of real conversations, Tannen shows why women and men can walk away from the same conversation with completely different impressions of what was said. With a rare combination of scientific insight and delightful writing, Tannen brings gender differences to students in an entertaining and accessible format. A classic in the field of interpersonal relations, this book will forever change the way students think about—and approach—conversations. “[A] refreshing and readable account of the complexities of communication between men and women.”—The New York Times Book Review
