For some, cryptocurrency has provided a path to prosperity; for others, it has been a source of economic ruin. For many influencers and politicians, creating and selling cryptocurrency has taken a central place as a new fundraising strategy, manipulating the economic dreams of the masses to garner political power.

The intensifying threat of extreme weather raises a number of important questions, such as whether the federal government and state governments are doing enough to protect citizens from extreme weather, whether emergency services can effectively address the loss experienced by those faced with climate disaster, and whether this increasingly unavoidable evidence of climate chaos will have an impact on the global debate about how to address climate change.AUGUST 2026 One Volume; 200 Pages ISBN: 979-8-89179-676-8 List Price: $75Presidential AuthorityAre presidents public servants, with powers limited and prescribed to prevent tyranny?
