Late Bloomers: Coming of Age in Today's America: The Right Place at the Wrong Time Abrams, Alexander; Lipsky, David
Good.
Hardcover. Stated 1st edition hardcover with dustjacket 1994 Crown. Clean and unmarked; average wear; label removed from inside cover. Jacket has rubbing; crumpled at edges. Pages bright; binding tight. 224pp, Notes. Language: English. 'Countering portrayals of young adults as irresponsible, self-centered slackers, twentysomethings Lipsky and Abrams move smartly and humorously through the components of this image, probing the psychology and economics of the group. They have some interesting things to say about the media approach to social analysis pieces, and take aim at the current economy, particularly the effect of the U.S. deficit. The backdrop for the abysmal unemployment rate, higher marriage age, and reduced income of young adults is shown to be the escalating divorce rates, decreasing support systems, and the hardening of TV fare that influenced latchkey kids of the 1960s through the 1980s. Easy but provocative considerations for adults living at home as well as their parents.'--Virginia Dwyer, Booklist. Keywords: Generation X.

A Picture Book of Louis Braille Adler, David A.; Wallner, John and Alexandra (illustrators)
0823412911 New.
Hardcover. Brand-new stated 1st edition hardcover with dustjacket 1997 Holiday House. Only light store shelfwear. Superclean; no marks; pages bright; binding tight; never read. Gift-giving condition. 34 pages; color illustrations; Braille alphabet. For ages ca. Grades 1-4. Language: English. 'An appealing introduction to the Frenchman who invented the raised-dot alphabet/code now used around the world by blind and visually impaired readers. The text is simple yet informative, tracing Braille's life from the childhood accident that caused him to lose his sight through his career at the National Institute for Blind Children in Paris. Adler sprinkles in interesting facts about early 19th-century France that help readers better grasp Braille's world. The development of the alphabet/code is a major component of the book and is explained in an understandable manner. Primitive alphabet systems for the blind are discussed along with Braille's determination to replace them with his less cumbersome one. Readers can feel the alphabet and numbers from 1-10 at the back of the book. Softly colored illustrations in line and watercolor add visual clues for younger children. An excellent resource.'--Maura Bresnahan, School Library Journal, 1997. Keywords: juvenile, biography.

Z Goes Home Agee, Jon

Hardcover. Brand-new, 1st edition hardcover with dustjacket 2003 Hyperion Books for Children / Michael Di Capua Books. Only light store shelfwear to jacket. Superclean; no marks; pages bright; binding tight; unread. Gift-giving condition. NOTE: Large format-- cannot ship outside U.S. via Flat-Rate envelope; may require additional international postage. Ca. 26 pages (pages not numbered); full-page color illustrations. For ages ca. 3-7. 'The letter Z abandons its allotted spot in the City Zoo sign and heads off in Agee's innovative alphabet book. Children can track the red Z's journey past an Alien, over a Bridge, into some Cake, and over Hurdles until the red-letter moment when it finally finds its way to its similarly colored friends and announces, Hey everybody, I'm home! Each letter is exemplified by a noun (Ink, Jetty, Karate), but to make matters more interesting, the object is also shaped like the letter: a round cake, partially eaten by the Z, forms a C; the labyrinth where Z gets lost is composed of Ls; and the seashore, where Z is taking a dip, is S-shaped. The very last page whimsically defines the 26 words. In most alphabet books, letters follow one after the other and children know what's coming next, but this is less predictable. Bold shapes and lines create a clean, comical look.'--Karin Snelson, Booklist. Keywords: juvenile, picture book, ABC, zed.

The Case Against the General: Manuel Noriega and the Politics of American Justice Albert, Steve
0684193752 Very Good.
Hardcover. 1st edition hardcover with dustjacket 1993 Scribner's. Remainder marks: bottom page edge and sales code box. Very clean; pages bright; binding tight; never read. Noticeable store wear to jacket. 456pp, Index, B/W photos.Language: English. NOTE: Cannot ship outside U.S. via Global Priority -- Surface or Airmail only. 'An exhaustive recapitulation of how the US nailed Manuel Noriega, Panama's erstwhile strongman, on drug-trafficking and racketeering charges. Drawing on apparently open access to prosecutors and defense counsel, Albert (an editor of The Recorder, a San Francisco law journal) offers a detailed, if premeditatedly objective, account of a case with geopolitical implications. While he provides much background information--including a rundown on the reasons why the Justice Department sought to indict a military dictator who had ties to an alphabet soup of Washington-based agencies (CIA, DEA, NSC, etc.)--the author focuses on the events surrounding a precedent-setting trial that could take place only after American forces invaded Panama, captured its de facto head of state, and spirited him away to a maximum-security cell beneath Miami's federal courthouse. Albert does a fine job of recounting how government attorneys were able not only to piece together the structure of Colombia's Medellin cartel but also to link Noriega to its criminal activities in the US and elsewhere. In the process, he makes clear that Faustian bargains with narcoterrorists, murderers, money-launderers, corrupt officials, and other felons are a must in obtaining evidence enough to move against the likes of a Noriega....'--Kirkus Reviews, 1993. Keywords: Panamanian, narcotics, Florida, drug lords, classified, testimony, Bush, administration, invasion.

Tuesdays with Morrie: An Old Man, a Young Man, and Life's Greatest Lesson Albom, Mitch
Very Good.
Hardcover. Later printing hardcover with dustjacket 1997 Doubleday. Superclean; no marks; pages bright; binding tight. Only light wear. 192pp. Language: English. 'Award-winning sportswriter Albom was a student at Brandeis University, some 2 decades ago, of sociologist Morrie Schwartz. Here Albom recounts how, recently, as the old man was dying, he renewed his warm relationship with his revered mentor. This is the vivid record of the teacher's battle with muscle-wasting amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or Lou Gehrig's disease. The dying man, largely because of his life-affirming attitude toward his death-dealing illness, became a sort of thanatopic guru, and was the subject of 3 Ted Koppel interviews on Nightline. That was how the author first learned of Morrie's condition. Albom well fulfilled the age-old obligation to visit the sick. He calls his weekly visits to his teacher his last class, and the present book a term paper. The subject: The Meaning of Life....'--Kirkus Reviews, 1997.

Thurgood Marshall, Supreme Court Justice Aldred, Lisa
Good.
Hardcover. Hardcover Grolier Amway edition 1990. Superclean; no marks. Several page corners creased. Glossy picture cover--no dustjacket. Introductory essay: Coretta Scott King. 127pp, Index, Chronology, B/W photos. Language: English. Young Adult level. Notable Black Americans of Achievement series. 'A well-written, interesting biography that concentrates on Marshall's enduring commitment to civil rights. It opens with his arguments for the NAACP in the Brown vs. Board of Education of Topeka case, and then offers a fine blend of information about his personal life and career. Aldred shows readers how closely Marshall was linked with much of civil rights progress through his extensive work for the NAACP's Legal Defense Fund. Her comprehensive description of many of the cases Marshall argued provides readers with crucial background and shows why those cases were important. She also covers his career in the judiciary, including the Supreme Court. Marshall is presented positively, with little discussion of politics and with an emphasis on his achievements. Quoting both Marshall and others to describe his full life, Aldred succeeds in portraying him as a real person'.--Mary Mueller, School Library Journal.

Old Money: The Mythology of America's Upper Class Aldrich, Nelson
Very Good.
Hardcover. Hardcover with dustjacket 1988 Random House. Very clean; no marks; pages bright; binding tight. Only light wear. 309pp, Notes, Index. Language: English. NOTE: Large size; cannot ship outside U.S. via Flat-Rate envelope. 'Aldrich has been a teacher, journalist and editor (Paris Review, Harper's, etc.)--a refutation of cliches about the idle rich. This accredited scion of the old-money set via his Rockefeller kin writes with great style and wit, making this history of privileged people delightful and entertaining. But there are shadowy reports here, too. Aldrich includes an account about his great-grandfather, a corrupt U.S. Senator from Rhode Island (1881-1911) and other tales of failed noblesse oblige. The positive accomplishments of many upper-class members, however, outweigh the actions of scoundrels, according to the author: absorbing principles taught at schools Aldrich groups as St. Midas, those to-the-manor-born have been war heroes, contributors to the arts and sciences, and philanthropists....--Publishers Weekly, 1988.
