Caught in the act: Southwestern wildlife in their natural habitat.

Jack and Anna Childs went hunting for the elusive Southwestern jaguar, but what they found was bigger than the rare spotted cat, and even more surprising Founders of the Borderlands Jaguar Detection Project, the Childs set up "camera traps," or remote-sensor cameras activated by motion and body heat, along the U.S.-Mexico border. They did "catch" the first live, wild jaguar ever photographed this way in the U.S. But their non-invasive, candid cameras also captured fascinating animal behavior across the entire ecosystem. The jaguar, it seems, it a minor figure in a habitat that supports over 20 other large mammals. Black bears, mountain lions, bobcats, javelinas, coyotes, and human beings were also caught in behavior—and misbehavior—characteristic of their species. 72 color photographs..

Ambushed! recounts the exploits of the Bush administration, at home and abroad, 2001 to 2008, through the lens of a Pulitzer Prize winning cartoonist for the Miami Herald and the analysis of a leading political scientist at Boston University and Harvard University. The book begins with the ways in which American voters were ambushed in two presidential elections and ranges widely among the ensuing disasters from Enron to Katrina to the budget deficit to the economy and finally to the global war on terror that lost America many friends and inspired enemies worldwide. Contrasting the Bush administration s lofty promises with its policy failures from Baghdad to New Orleans the book suggests that this has been not only the least effective but the most destructive presidency of the past century..

Readers just can't get enough tales of government gaffes, and President George W. Bush and his administration can't seem to stop goofing up.

AM-BUSHED! is a hilarious rundown of the mishaps, mistakes, mispronunciations, malapropisms, and misunderestimations committed by 'Dubya' and his administration, including:

"You took an oath to defend our flag and our freedom, and you kept that oath underseas and under fire." -- George W. Bush, Washington, D.C., January 10, 2006

"There's a-some of the greatest programs, initiatives come out of our faith-based programs or faith-based churches or synagogues or mosques." -- George W. Bush, Washington, D.C., January 30, 2003

People may be divided over Bush's policies, but everyone can agree that AM-BUSHED! will be another surefire hit.
