Jonathan Edward Schell (August 21, 1943 – March 25, 2014)[1][2] was an American author and visiting fellow at Yale University, whose work primarily dealt with campaigning against nuclear weapons. His work appeared in The Nation, The New Yorker, and TomDispatch. The Fate of the Earth received the Los Angeles Times Book Prize, among other awards, and was nominated for the Pulitzer Prize, the National Book Award, and the National Critics Award. In his words; "Never has a nation unleashed so much violence with so little risk to itself. It is the government's way of waging war without the support of its own people, and involves us all in the dishonor of killing in a cause we are no longer willing to die for." From 1967 until 1987, he was a staff writer at The New Yorker, where he served as the principal writer of the magazine's Notes and Comment section. He was a columnist for Newsday from 1990 until 1996. He taught at many universities, including Princeton, Emory, New York University, the New School, Wesleyan University and the Yale Law School. He became a persistent advocate for disarmament and a world free of nuclear weapons. He won George Polk Awards in 1976 and also published essays on the Presidency of Richard Nixon, as well as the aftermath to the Watergate scandal, which led to the president's resignation in 1974, forming the basis to his book, The Time of Illusion.

Inscribed by the author on the title page. Inscription reads: To my friends Pat and Marcelle, All the Best! Bob Scheiffer. This was inscribed to Senator Patrick Leahy! In this memoir, Bob Schieffer takes readers behind the cameras to look at his 40-year career, which includes the inside dope on all the major events of the second half of the 20th century and the people behind them, from John F. Kennedy to the Bush White House. Bob Lloyd Schieffer (born February 25, 1937) is an American television journalist. He is known for his moderation of presidential debates, where he has been praised for his capability. Schieffer is one of the few journalists to have covered all four of the major Washington national assignments: the White House, the Pentagon, U. S. Department of State, and United States Congress. His career with CBS has almost exclusively dealt with national politics. He has interviewed every U. S. President since Richard Nixon, as well as most of those who sought the office. Following his retirement from Face the Nation, Schieffer has continued to work for CBS as a contributor, giving political commentary covering the 2016 presidential election. Schieffer is currently releasing episodes of a podcast, "Bob Schieffer's 'About the News' with H. Andrew Schwartz". Schieffer has written three books: Face the Nation: My Favorite Stories from the First 50 Years of the Award-Winning News Broadcast, This Just In: What I Couldn't Tell You on TV, and Bob Schieffer's America.

This book ranks the 100 most influential Jews of all time. They changed the way we live and think. A few, however, touched the souls and minds of Jews only, but are important to the world because of their defining presence in Jewish identity. Michael Shapiro is the author of the international bestseller The Jewish 100 (published in American, British, Japanese, Chinese, Russian, Portuguese, Bulgarian, Polish, and Romanian language editions) and Jewish Pride. An acclaimed composer, his over one hundred works have been performed internationally, and for over ten years has been the Music Director and Conductor of The Chappaqua Orchestra in New York. He served for two years as the music consultant to the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, D.C., where he produced and performed music by a number of composers who were either murdered by the Germans and their collaborators or had survived as refugees from the Third Reich. When first published, The Jewish 100 was featured in scores of publications, as well as an article in The New Yorker, the cover of The Independent on Sunday in Great Britain, and a lead discussion in Haaretz in Israel.

Smith took 14 years to write the book and said that he spent about $250,000 of his own money on the project. In an interview with C-SPAN, he said that Random House provided an advance of $50,000 for the book. In October, 2003 he was appointed the first Executive Director of the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum, a four-building complex in Springfield, Illinois.
