From Watergate to Whitewater, US politicians have had their fair share of high-profile debacles that have destroyed careers and brought down political parties. Watergate forced the only presidential resignation in American History, the Iran-Contra affair exposed the limitations of President Reagan, and the Whitewater scandal periodically paralysed the White House and embarrassed President Clinton. This book focuses on presidential and congressional scandals of the last 25 years and offers the first sustained explanation of the reasons for them and their often dramatic consequences. By reading this account of the infamous US politicians who are remembered most for their misdemeanours than their achievements, you will come to understand how the American political system really works.

"This book presents the issue of radioactive waste management from the perspective of the German legal system, analysing how lawmakers have responded to the problem of nuclear waste over the course of the last seventy years. In this book, Robert Rybski unwraps and explains the legal and social issues related to radioactive waste. He takes readers through the entire 'life-cycle': from the moment that radioactive material is classified as radioactive waste, through to the period of interim storage, and right up to its final disposal. However, this last step in radioactive waste management (that of final disposal) has not yet been achieved in Germany, or anywhere in the world, and has been the subject of hefty public debate for dozens of years. As a result, the book analyses the most recent regulations in place to enable final disposal"-- Provided by the publisher.
