<b>Few expected Donald Trump to return to the White House stronger than before. </b>The indictments, convictions, assassination attempts, and four years of political exile made him not weaker but more powerful, more vengeful, and more willing to gamble than any President that came before him.<br/><br/><i>Regime Change </i>is the definitive account of the first year of Donald Trump's second presidency, based on hundreds of interviews and unprecedented reporting from deep within the administration's most closely guarded rooms. Journalists Jonathan Swan and Maggie Haberman investigate the decisions that have defined Trump's second term, which has been liberated from every constraint that defined his first. The generals who once told him 'no' are gone, and the lawyers who remain have learned to pick their battles.<br/><br/>Haberman and Swan take you behind the scenes of a presidency that has launched a new war in the Middle East, sealed the border, deployed National Guard troops into American cities, transformed the Justice Department into an instrument of retribution against the President's enemies, and turned the office itself into a brazen vehicle for profit. They reveal a President operating almost entirely on instinct and a White House operating at the edge of political power.<br/><br/><i>Regime Change </i>shows how Trump has wielded that power, who has tried to stop him, and why nearly all of them have failed.<b> A landmark work of real-time political history, this is the story of a President who has fundamentally altered how the world understands American power.</b>

<strong>Landmark new 90th anniversary edition featuring a wealth of charming illustrations from Tove Jansson, creator of the Moomins, published in English for the first time.</strong> <br/><br/> <strong> <em>Smaug certainly looked fast asleep, almost dead and dark, with scarcely a snore more than a whiff of unseen steam, when Bilbo peeped once more from the entrance. He was just about to step out on to the floor when he caught a sudden thin and piercing ray of red from under the drooping lid of Smaug's left eye. He was only pretending to sleep! He was watching the tunnel entrance!</em> </strong> <br/><br/>Whisked away from his comfortable, unambitious life in his hobbit-hole in Bag End by Gandalf the wizard and a band of dwarves, Bilbo Baggins finds himself caught up in a plot to raid the treasure hoard of Smaug the Magnificent, a large and very dangerous dragon. Although quite reluctant to take part in this quest, Bilbo surprises even himself by his resourcefulness and his skill as a burglar! <br/><br/>This landmark new edition of <em>The Hobbit</em> presents J.R.R. Tolkien's full text with illustrations by Tove Jansson, creator of the Moomins, from a rare Swedish-language edition never before published in English. Jansson's tender, whimsical drawings illuminate Bilbo's journey - from the comfort of Bag End to the riddled dark under the mountain - adding fresh enchantment and quiet humour to every page.

And like many regions where landscapes and people happily crash into each other, the food is dynamic and exciting.
