Plain Russian, First Edition (7 results)

Hardcover. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: New. 1st Edition. As a federal prosecutor and the daughter of an FBI agent, Lis Wiehl has an inside perspective on the Bureau. In A Spy in Plain Sight, she brings her experience and the ingrained lessons of her upbringing to bear on this remarkable exploration of the Hanssen case, interviewing numerous FBI and CIA agents -- both past and present -- as well as the individuals closest to Hanssen, including his brother-in-law. Hanssen's oldest and best friend, and even his psychiatrist. In all her conversations, Wiehl is trying to figure out how Hanssen did it -- and at what cost. But she also pursues questions urgently relevant to our national security today. Could there be another spy in the system? Could the presence of a spy be an even greater threat now than ever before, with the greater prominence cyber security has taken in recent years? Wiehl astutely explores the mechanisms and politics of our national security apparatus and how they make us vulnerable to precisely this kind of threat. Combining years of expertise and personal experience, Wiehl has spent her career trying to find the truth within fractious legal and political conflicts, and uses her deep knowledge to bring to light the world Hanssen hid himself inside. A Spy in Plain Sight reflects on the deeply sown divisions and paranoias of our present day and provides an unparalleled view into the functioning of the FBI. This is the definitive book on the Hanssen case.

The book offers both a culture history for the area and an explanation for the changes in human adaptation. It presents what has been found at 29 major Upper Paleolithic sites occupied over a period of some 14,000 years. The book presents details of the archaeological inventories and assemblages found at the 29 sites, together with the geography and geology of the study area. It then uses environmental data to model environmental conditions and resource distribution during the various periods of human occupation, as well as to predict optimal strategies for exploiting available resources. Subsequent chapters present the relative and chronometric dating schemes. The book also elucidates the man-land relationships, ensuing subsistence strategies, settlement types present in the archaeological record, settlement systems, and sociopolitical behavior. The text will be significant to archaeologists, paleoecologists, and anthropologists interested in hunter-gatherers and late Pleistocene adaptations.
