By All Accounts, the military planning for Operation Iraqi Freedom was magnificent. American air superiority and new smart bomb technologies supported a lightning-fast coalition ground force. In less than a month after the initial assaults, coalition forces swept through ghost-like Iraqi defensive positions to take Baghdad and topple the Saddam Hussein regime. 
The plans for peace, however, seem to be nonexistent. An estimated $60 billion was spent to precipitate a regime change in Iraq. The assumptions, widely held in Washington, that the Iraqi people would greet the American forces as "liberators" have been proved wrong as looters and guerrilla elements have created ongoing security problems. The spending continues at a rate of $4 billion per month to stabilize the country during the post-war political power vacuum, while spokesmen for the Bush Administration talk of indefinite tours of duty for American troops in Iraq. 
Meanwhile the Iraqi people, coalition forces, and the international community are looking for leadership in post-war Iraq. What is our nation building strategy? What is our timetable for democracy in Iraq? When can we withdraw American troops? How will the Iraqi people survive after the devastation of three wars in the past 25 years? 
In Reconstructing Eden, Thomas E. White, Secretary of the Army during Operation Iraqi Freedom, along with three political and economic experts from CountryWatch, provide a detailed review of the events leading up to Operation Iraqi Freedom as well as a comprehensive plan for nation building in Iraq. The Authors answer the tough questions posed above and offer objectives associated with successful nation building in Iraq. They provide specific plans for political and economic development, as well as a forecast for the Iraqi economy, including the petroleum sector.

Is the Earth's climate headed into uncharted waters in terms of temperature and atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations? Is the cost of the Kyoto Protocol exorbitant? What is an optimal trajectory for the Earth's carbon dioxide emissions over the Third Millennium? How should carbon dioxide emissions be priced? What would be the best way to implement such a program. In The Carbon Conundrum: Global Warming and Energy Policy in the Third Millennium, Robert C. Kelly presents a comprehensive review of these issues including: An introduction to the greenhouse gas contraversy with a brief exposition of the physics of the greenhouse effect and a history of the scientific debate; A review of the earliest theoretical and empirical evidence on changes in the Earth's climate including the Pre-Cambrian era, the Mid-Phanerozoic era, the Vostok ice core records and recent climate history; An integrated assessment analysis of the global climate and economic system over the Third Millennium based upon an expanded version of the DICE model (Dynamic Integrated model of Climate and the Economy) first developed by William D. Nordhaus of Yale; An examination of three alternative scenarios using the integrated assessment model: the Business As Usual Scenario (BAU), the Kyoto Protocol Scenario (KPS), and an optimal carbon path...the Optimum Carbon Path Scenario (OPT); A review of energy supply options in the Third Millennium including fossil fuels, renewable energy, and nuclear power; A mechanism to implement the optimal emissions path ... the International Carbon Fund.
