Comeback Dravecky, Dave; Stafford, Tim
Very Good.
Paperback. Mass-market paperback 5th printing 1991 Harper. Superclean; no marks; pages bright; binding tight. Only light wear. 269pp, B/W photos. Language: English. 'Dravecky's determination to return to pitch with the San Francisco Giants after cancer surgery is one of the best stories of personal triumph in the sports world today. Dravecky tells of his dream of becoming a major league baseball player with energy and candor. Through a casual, narrative style, his descriptions of plays and personalities come alive with the integrity of the game. Dravecky doesn't gloss over the pain he suffered and the discouragements that haunted him as he saw his baseball career fall apart, but he does speak unflinchingly of the religious beliefs and attitudes that enable him to fight against the inevitable adversities in life.'--Cynthia J. Rieben, School Library Journal, 1990.

Showdown: The Struggle Between the Gingrich Congress and the Clinton White House Drew, Elizabeth
0684815184 Very Good.
Hardcover. Hardcover with dustjacket 1996 Smon & Schuster. Remainder mark at bottom page edge. Otherwise superclean; jacket crisp; appears unread. 398pp, Index. Language: English. NOTE: Cannot ship outside U.S. via Global Priority--Surface or Airmail only. 'Drew continues the gritty coverage of the Clinton administration begun in her well-received On the Edge: The Clinton Presidency. House speaker Newt Gingrich is the focus of this story of the first session of the 104th Congress (1995). Gingrich started the year enjoying the popularity brought about by the highly touted Republican Contract with America, as President Clinton continued to endure low credibility and poor ratings. By the end of the year their positions reversed. Drew successfully contrasts their leadership styles, showing Gingrich's difficulties in controlling the large, often unruly freshman class of conservative Republican House members; his ongoing clashes with his sometimes nemesis, Senate Majority Leader Robert Dole; his ideological battles with the Clinton administration; and his declining popularity due to the perceived ruthlessness of his repeal of the New Deal agenda. Clinton relied on his campaign skills, the prestige of the presidency, and a successful State of the Union Address to rebound.'--Karl Helicher, Library Journal.

The Shark Net: Memories and Murder Drewe, Robert
Good.
Paperback. 1st softcover printing 2001 Penguin. List of names WRITTEN on last blank page. Otherwise like new: clean, bright, uncreased. 288pp. Language: English. 'Written with the same lyrical intensity and spellbinding prose that has won Robert Drewe's fiction international acclaim, The Shark Net is set in the 1950s in a city haunted by the menace of an elusive serial killer. Drewe's youth in the middle-class seaside suburb of Perth, Australia-often described as the most isolated city in the world-takes a sinister turn when a social outcast (who turns out to be an employee of Drewe's father) embarks on a 5-year murder spree. This unusual memoir brilliantly evokes the confluence of adolescent innocence and sexual awakening while a hare-lipped killer who eventually murders 8 people, including one of Drewe's friends, lurks in the shadows.'--from the publisher.

Paul Robeson Duberman, Martin Bauml
Good.
Hardcover. Stated 1st edition hardcover with dustjacket 1988 Knopf. Gift inscription by author on 1st blank page reads 'For Chuck Corbett, who actually met--and understands--this wonderful man! All best, Martin Bauml Duberman May 18, 1989'. Staining to the black cloth-covered boards. Cloth is bowed away from the spine. Text very clean; no marks; pages bright. 804 pages; Index; Notes; black-and-white photos. Language: English. A 2-page 1998 New York Times newspaper clipping of an article by Peter Applebome about Robeson winning a Grammy 22 years after his death is laid inside front cover. NOTE: Cannot ship outside U.S. via Global Priority -- Surface or Airmail only. 'Award-winning historian Duberman here offers a monumental life-and-times biography of scholar, sportsman, singer, actor, and political activist Robeson. This splendid work--the result of 7 years' careful research in dozens of public and private manuscript collections, plus interviews with more than 130 people--tells more about Robeson's place in the world than about his interior life, for he left behind few letters or diaries. Yet there is much to observe, from Robeson's family life and love affairs through his encounters with bigotry and some enlightened support to the growth of his international musical/theatrical career and its decline due to his steadfast devotion to left-wing politics. A thoroughly documented work that is required reading for anyone seeking to understand 20th-century social history in America.'--Bonnie Jo Dopp, Library Journal, 1989. [code J]

Equally useful for home, library or classroom--where more and more teachers are including units on peace--this thoughtfully written, attractively designed volume is a winner in every way.'--Publishers Weekly, 1990.

All the important people and stories are highlighted, from John McGraw to Ty Cobb to Babe Ruth, and from the Chicago Black Sox scandal to the New York Yankees domination of the game and the reserve clause breakthrough that freed the players from the owners' domination. There is a particularly affecting segment on Jackie Robinson.'--Samuel Simons, Library Journal, 1986.

'Dworkin is a prominent and controversial feminist political theorist. This compilation of her writings from 1976 to 1987 contains speeches, literary criticism, and her testimony before the Attorney General's Commission on Pornography. Present throughout are the themes of women dominated and silenced by men, of anger and powerlessness in a male society, and of the danger of a doctrine of biological superiority. Dworkin's zealous opposition to pornography is well documented here, as are her problems in getting published because of her militant anti-male stance.'--Barbara M. Bibel, Library Journal.

As she traveled through the spiritual realm, she learned more about the laws and history of the universe than perhaps anyone before her. She explains with uncanny detail the reasons why we have chosen to be on this earth at this time in history, and how all out actions are growing experiences for our immortal spirits. In those few minutes that stretched into eternity, Betty's life was changed forever....'--from the publisher.

Big Book of Time: A Magical Adventure Through the Seconds, Seasons, and Light Years of the Universe Edmonds, William; Marsden, Helen (illustrator)
Like New.
Hardcover. Supersize 11x14-in. hardcover with dustjacket 1994 Reader's Digest Kids. Pristine; no marks; only light shelfwear. Gift-giving condition. 46pp, color illustrations. Language: English. Ages 7-12. NOTE: Large format-- cannot ship outside U.S. via Flat-Rate envelope; may require additional international postage. 'In this lively, oversize volume, Edmonds tackles the intangible concept of time--in his words, one of the trickiest, most slippery of all ideas. Illustrated with Marsden's busy, lighthearted pictures and peppered with anecdotes, historical facts and trivia, the narrative approaches the subject in increments. The reader moves through moments, seconds, hours, weeks, months, decades, centuries, millennia, ages, light years and, finally, forever. Along the way, Edmonds covers such topics as how individuals throughout history have told time, the world's time zones, the stages of the lunar month, how various seasonal holidays are celebrated, how distances in space are measured and the Big Bang theory. Avoiding complex scientific explanations, the author keeps his language direct and informal'.--Publishers Weekly.

The Death of Sigmund Freud: The Legacy of His Last Days Edmundson, Mark
1582345376 New.
Hardcover. Brand-new, 1st U.S. edition hardcover with dustjacket 2007 Bloomsbury USA. Only light store shelfwear to jacket. Very clean; no marks; pages bright; binding tight; unread. Gift-giving condition. 276 pages; Index; Notes; Bibliography. No photos. Language: English. 'Freud's last book-Moses and Monotheism-has counted for little with critics, inclined to dismiss it as a product of his dotage. Edmundson, however, makes large claims for the psychologist's final work. Indeed, he interprets it as central to the dying revolutionary's bold strategy for endowing his psychoanalytic movement-deeply subversive of religion and patriarchal authority-with a quasi-religious permanence that ensured his own immortality as modernity's prophetic father. Despite his antipathy to religious faith, Freud devoted his last two years to a text reappropriating his own Jewish tradition as the wellspring of higher intellectual achievements. In rejecting the social solidity of pagan spectacles, the Hebrews-in Freud's theory-opened the door to honest exploration of the elusive individual psyche. Edmundson underscores the historical significance of Freud's paradigm by identifying its antithesis in Hitler's stunningly effective use of neopagan pageantry to incite a mass hysteria that made Vienna so politically hostile that the aging therapist had to flee. An insightful gloss on a generally neglected episode of Freud's life.'--Bryce Christensen, Booklist. Keywords: biographies, biography, psychoanalysis, psychiatry.

The DeMilles: An American Family Edwards, Anne
Good.
Hardcover. 1st edition hardcover with dustjacket 1988 Abrams. Very clean; pages bright; binding tight. Jacket has rubbing; light crumple at spine edge. Label residue inside cover. 248pp; Index; Notes; Bibliography; plays, films, and choreography lists; B/W and color photos. Language: English. NOTE: Cannot ship outside U.S. via Global Priority -- Surface or Airmail only. 'This absorbing biography of the legendary DeMille family, perhaps America's most diversified and influential theatrical dynasty, is an impressive achievement in both its ambition and its remarkable execution. While the book focuses on the lives and achievements of the two most well-known DeMilles, pioneer film director Cecil B. and his gifted niece, the groundbreaking dancer and choreographer Agnes, The DeMilles is essentially a family story, and therein lies its strength; the book's panoramic, multi-generational sweep lends a specificity and perspective to the fascinating lives of its many subjects that individual biographies could not approach. Edwards's engrossing text is scrupulously researched and well-documented, and designer Dirk Luykx and photographic editor Louise Kerz have surrounded this gleaming prose with a sumptuous setting worthy of Cecil B. himself. A great story, lavishly illustrated in an oversized format, this is the kind of property he'd have optioned for the movies.'--Publishers Weekly, 1988.

From back cover: 'The high ideals and inevitable compromises of the 1960s form the background to this acclaimed novel. Phoebe O'Connor, 18 years old in the summer of 1978, is too young to know the 1960s, but old enough to feel the anxiety of their influence. She is obsessed by the memory of her charismatic older sister, Faith, a flower child who died in Italy in 1970. Searching for the truth about Faith's death and life, Phoebe retraces her steps across Europe to the very place where she died. Her search yields more complex and disturbing revelations than she had wished for--about her sister and the generation she emblematized.'

The Lost City: Discovering the Forgotten Virtues of Community in the Chicago of the 1950s Ehrenhalt, Alan
Good.
Hardcover. 1st edition hardcover with dustjacket 1995 Basic Books. REMAINDER MARK at bottom edge. Very clean; never read. Shelfwear to jacket. 310pp, Index, Notes, B/W photos. Language: English. 'Ehrenhalt, executive editor of Governing magazine and author of The United States of Ambition (1991), explores what was gained and lost when the children of the 1950s rejected the social bargain that defined their parents' lives. He studies three communities: St. Nicholas of Tolentine parish in the Bungalow Belt on Chicago's Southwest Side; Bronzeville, the narrow South Side strip where segregation forced almost all African Americans to live; and Elmhurst, an older suburb west of the city facing the demands of new subdivisions. Different as these communities were, all three were communities: geographically defined, linked by street life and dozens of clubs and organizations, led by widely respected authority figures--including clergymen who cultivated congregants' moral convictions. Ehrenhalt maintains that 1950s adults accepted limited choice, restricted privacy, and sometimes overbearing authority in return for stable communities, jobs, relationships, clear rules, and trusted leaders: a trade-off the majority--though not those excluded from the bargain's payoffs--felt was fair. Their children rebelled against this bargain and are still searching for satisfactory anchors to replace community, authority, and sin. Challenging and provocative.'--Mary Carroll, Booklist.

A Jew Grows in Brooklyn: The Curious Reflections of a First-Generation American Ehrenreich, Jake

Paperback. Softcover published 2010 by HCI/Health Communications Inc. Only light wear to cover. Very clean; no marks or creases; pages bright; binding tight. 252 pages; black-and-white photos. Language: English. 'In this print adaptation of his successful one-man show, featured on Broadway, playwright and performer Ehrenreich tells his story of growing up in Brooklyn as the first-born son of Holocaust survivors in the years following WWII. Desperate to acquire the all American identity he feels denied as part of a foreign, Jewish family of war survivors, Ehrenreich plied his love of rock music into an adolescent romance with the drums; during his teens and twenties, Ehrenreich became involved in a number of musical projects, performing for vacationers in the Catskills and playing clubs around the country, eventually finding himself among famous musicians like Richie Havens and glam-rock band KISS. Along the way, the married-with-children Ehrenreich divulges entertaining details of his wilder years, including a string of romantic conquests and a struggle with drug abuse. Ehrenreich also devotes a chapter to each member of his family, recounting fond memories as well as tragic details of the early-onset Alzheimers that claimed his mother and two sisters. His style and timing perfected over years of performance, Ehrenreich proves inspirational and entertaining throughout, showing readers how he weathered troubled times to discover an unconditional love for life.'-- Publishers Weekly.

The Chemist in Three Wars: A Paper Read Before the American Institute of Chemists at Chicago, September 18, 1942 Eisenschiml, Otto
Very Good.
Paperback. Softcover booklet with stapled binding. No publishing information provided. Very clean; no marks or creases; pages bright; binding tight. 35 pages. Language: English. 'In the Civil War three chemists kept the South in the running until the end; one chemist in the North made the United States independent of the most critical foreign material. In the first World War, a German chemist almost decided the issue in favor of his country through one brilliant thought. ... Our enemies have had the initiative in every theater of this war so far.... But we have no excuse whatever for letting the initiative slip from our hands in the chemical field; it is an even race....'--from page 35. Eisenschiml (1880-1963) was an Austrian-born industrial chemist and president of the Scientific Oil Compounding Company. An amateur historian who was especially interested in the assassination of President Abraham Lincoln, he wrote several books about the Civil War. In his 1937 book, Why Was Lincoln Murdered?, he suggested that Secretary of War Edwin Stanton had conspired to kill the president. Eisenschiml's book inspired the 1977 book The Lincoln Conspiracy, by David Balsiger and Charles E. Sellier, and later the movie. This booklet is interesting in that it, in part, combines the author's primary interests of chemistry and the Civil War. Uncommon title.

Cover illustration by noted artist Pat Steir. '[I]nformative guide to the modern mythologies. This classic study, translated from the original French, deals primarily with societies around the world in which myth is--or was until very recently--living, in the sense that it supplies models for human behavior and, by that very fact, gives meaning and value to life. The author believes that understanding the structure and function of myths in these traditional societies serves to clarify a stage in the history of human thought: myths reveal that the World, man, and life have a supernatural origin and history, and that this history is significant, precious, and exemplary.'--from the publisher.

A Tremor of Bliss: Contemporary Writers on the Saints Elie, Paul
Good.
Hardcover. Hardcover with dustjacket 1994 Harcourt. 1 creased page; small stain at outer page edge. Text very clean; no marks; pages bright; binding tight. 325pp. Language: English. Introduction by Robert Coles. NOTE: Cannot ship outside U.S. via Global Priority -- Surface or Airmail only. 'The 17 diverse essays in this absorbing collection edited by freelancer Elie are marked by the authors' largely unstinting disclosures of how they have been moved by the saints about whom they write. Novelist Kathryn Harrison chillingly describes her own girlhood extravagances of desire and denial in light of the devotions and ascetism of Catherine of Siena. Behind his rapt and consuming interest in the founder of the Society of Jesus, fiction writer Ron Hansen acknowledges his hope to figure out how to live my life magnificently, as Ignatius did. Kathleen Norris, a memoirist and poet, convincingly reexamines the lives of the early church's virgin martyrs as models for women of today. Ruminating on St. John of the Cross, novelist David Plante ends with a prayer that his writing be not about what has to do with me, but about what has to do with the great and the brilliant darkness of God. Francine Prose finds a resonant ironic tone in the writings of St. Theresa of Avila; Paul Baumann, an editor of Commonweal and young parent, considers fatherhood as he connects St. Joseph to James Joyce's Leopold Bloom. In his introduction, Coles calls these essays a celebration of the miracle of commitment. They suggest a passion as inspiring as that of their subjects.'--Publishers Weekly, 1994.

The MacGuffin Elkin, Stanley
Very Good.
Paperback. Softcover 1992 Penguin. Very clean; no marks; spine uncreased; binding tight. Faint age-tanning to pages. Only light wear. 283 pages. Language: English. Cover art by Fred Marcellino. 'Elkin narrates with accustomed panache the mysterious events that take place in something under 40 hours in the life of Bobby Druff, City Commissioner of Streets, aged 58, whose ordered world of avenues and roads seems suddenly a rather more complicated maze than he remembers. Events, in fact, conspire against him, and his wife, his son, his new-found lover, even his chauffeur, appear to be in on it. The novel combines a sort of tough-talking, laugh-out-loud humor and that odd, amusing, under-the-breath revenge of the powerless with the twists and killer thrill rides of a plot to rival Hitchcock's.'--from the publisher.

Here are dozens of lively articles that explore such well-known molecules as water, oxygen, glass, and iron, such highly versatile plastics as polypropylene, polystyrene, and polyurethane, even such elements from hell as Sarin (extremely lethal nerve gas) or thallium sulphate (a poison used by Iraqi security forces to eliminate the opposition). With no chemical formulas, equations, or molecular diagrams to baffle the non-expert, each piece blends history (who discovered it and how), science, and anecdote, with many intriguing facts added to the mix.'--from the publisher.
