The Boys Crisis

The author of the groundbreaking New York Times bestseller The Pentagon’s New Map brings us a remarkable analysis of the post-Bush world, and America’s leadership role in it. In Great Powers, Barnett offers a tour de force analysis of the grand realignments that are both already here and coming up fast in the spheres of economics, diplomacy, defense, technology, security, the environment, and much more.

Their weekend mansions are doffer for Vanity Fair photographers; their potential to cause chaos preoccupied authorities even before the recent financial cataclysm.

The punk in their hearts, the folk in their blood and their hearts on their sleeves: Here comes THE WAKES! A Scottish band (with Irish roots), the band stands out from standard Folk-bands by using direct and combative lyrics. Along the lines of Irish Folk's heroes like THE DUBLINERS or THE CORRIES, consciousness of tradition meets ideas given by Punk-idols like THE CLASH and THE POGUES the Folk'n Roll was born, how the band itself describes its exceptional style.
