Butler presents his material in the form of an informal account of his personal experiences in the Middle East, both while he lived there, working for the Arabian American Oil Company (ARAMCO), and as a successful lecturer and writer who has returned to the area often.The book goes bArabsSaudi ArabiaElectronic books.Arabs.915.6Butler Grant C896832MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910451915203321Kings and camels2003708UNINA02686oam 2200493 450 991081324120332120190911103511.01-4833-5921-21-4833-5920-41-4522-7035-X1-4522-7036-8(OCoLC)893333675(MiFhGG)GVRL8RUC(EXLCZ)99371000000026001620160620h20142014 ua 0engurun|---uuuuatxtccrCongress and the nationVolume XIII2009-2012 politics and policy in the 111th and 112th CongressesLos Angeles :SAGE/CQ Press,[2014]�20141 online resource (xxvii, 1072 pages) illustrationsGale eBooksIncludes indexes.1-322-30549-8 1-4522-7034-1 CONGRESS AND THE NATION-FRONT COVER; CONGRESS AND THE NATION; COPYRIGHT; SUMMARY TABLE OF CONTENTS; CONTENTS; TABLES, FIGURES, AND BOXES; INTRODUCTION; CHAPTER 1: POLITICS AND NATIONAL ISSUES; CHAPTER 2: ECONOMIC POLICY; CHAPTER 3: HOMELAND SECURITY; CHAPTER 4: FOREIGN POLICY; CHAPTER 5: DEFENSE POLICY; CHAPTER 6: TRANSPORTATION, COMMERCE, AND COMMUNICATIONS; CHAPTER 7: ENERGY AND ENVIRONMENT; CHAPTER 8: AGRICULTURAL POLICY; CHAPTER 9: HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES; CHAPTER 10: EDUCATION POLICY; CHAPTER 11: HOUSING AND URBAN AID; CHAPTER 12: LABOR AND PENSIONS; CHAPTER 13: LAW AND JUSTICECHAPTER 14: GENERAL GOVERNMENTCHAPTER 15: INSIDE CONGRESS; CHAPTER 16: THE OBAMA PRESIDENCY; APPENDIX; INDEX TO LEGISLATION BY PUBLIC LAW NUMBERChronicling the highly partisan and polarized environment during the historic first term of President Barak Obama, Congress and the Nation 2009-2012 is the most authoritative reference on congressional law-making and trends during the 111th and 112th Congresses.
