The official title was the National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States, but everybody knew it simply as the 9/11 Commission. By threatening to issue subpoenas to the White House, the commission forced the Bush Administration to open up the government's most secret files on terrorist threats. But did the commission tell the public everything that it learned about the events of September 11, 2001?
Now, top journalist Philip Shenon brings into focus the intrigues and scandals of the 9/11 Commission.

The Geography of Bliss
One Grump's Search for the Happiest Places in the World

Part foreign affairs discourse, part humor, and part twisted self-help guide, The Geography of Bliss takes readers from America to Iceland to India in search of happiness, or, in the crabby author's case, moments of "un-unhappiness." The book uses a beguiling mixture of travel, psychology, science, and humor to investigate not what happiness is, but where it is.
"Part travelogue, part personal-discovery memoir and all sustained delight, this wise, witty ramble reads like Paul Theroux channeling David Sedaris on a particularly good day."--Kirkus Reviews |
