(Group), Adams Round Table Body Is Found
Wynwood Pr 1990 0922066493 Hardcover Very Good Very Good Hardcover
This book is in excellent condition. Light shelf wear. Interior is bright white, immaculate, unmarked and binding is tight. Possible First Edition with no additional printings listed. From Publishers Weekly: The authors comprising the Adams Round Table are New York City-based mystery writers whose previous offering was Murder in Manhattan . In a concept again "created" by Bill Adler, their tales are set in various New York neighborhoods, where corpses are discovered under humorous, ironic or macabre circumstances. The best-known of the group--Mary Higgins Clark and Thomas Chastain-- are not in top form here. In Clark's "The Body in the Closet," a young playwright discovers the body of his leading lady in his apartment; the crime is resolved too neatly to inspire credibility. "Admissible Evidence" by Chastain chronicles the murder trial of a Beekman Place socialite falsely convicted of killing the man who spurned her affections, while the real murderer remains free to kill again. On the other hand, Stanley Cohen's "Hello! My Name Is Irving Wasserman," is a winner. A savvy East Side couple finds a well-dressed corpse rolled up in a rug they have salvaged from a dumpster. The agoraphobic poetess in Mickey Friedman's clever "Night in the Lonesome October" hides the recently murdered body of a neighbor in the backyard of her brownstone. Other contributors are Dorothy Salisbury Davis, Judith Kelman, Lucy Freeman, Joyce Harrington, Warren Murphy and Justin Scott.

Abbott, S. Womenfolks - Growing up Down South
Houghton Mifflin 1984 0899192831 Paperback Good Paperback
Back of cover has the previous owners address label. Light cover scuffing and edge rubbing. Inside is clean and excellent. Womenfolks - Growing up Down South...From 500 Great Books by Women; review by Jesse Larsen: Womenfolks is an illuminating blend of scholarly history, personal reflection, and political essay, spiced with a smattering of what-if historical fiction. Shirley Abbott's research encompasses diaries and journals of early southern immigrants and visitors, family stories, academic histories of the south, and southern historical fiction, all of which she uses methodically to disentangle southern myth from history: "Most Southerners, even those who descend from some distinguished old family or another, can also look back, at quite close range, on at least one line of half-literate farmers who scratched their living out of the dirt one way or another and moved along every generation or so, searching for cheap land and sweet water and the chance to start over again." At the center of her study is the juxtaposition between the generations of the women of her family, and the legendary southern belle. Who were the majority of southern foremothers? What is a southern belle, or, more importantly, what is a southern belle supposed to be and why? In this book, a new version of southern history emerges, one which debunks the enslaving myth of southern bellehood and reveals women as a pivotal force. In witty and lucid prose, Shirley Abbott, a native daughter of Hot Springs, Arkansas, offers new ways - and reasons - for looking at the place we come from. -- For great reviews of books for girls, check out Let's Hear It for the Girls: 375 Great Books for Readers 2-14.

Abdul-Jabbar, Kareem Kareem
New York Random House 1990 0394559274 Hardcover Good Good Hardcover
DJ has light edge-wear. Book has some fading on the edges. Other than that, this book is perfect inside and out. From Publishers Weekly: Arguably the best player in basketball history, undeniably its highest scorer, Abdul-Jabbar (born Lew Alcindor) made sports headlines from his high-school days in New York City until his retirement last spring as the captain of the Los Angeles Lakers. Here he reviews his life to date with the able assistance of McCarthy ( Women Coming of Age ), reprising some of the material in his earlier book, Giant Steps , but concentrating on his final season, a triumphal tour of all the NBA cities. The former star writes of his heroes--among them Jackie Robinson and UCLA coach John Wooden--opponents he has faced, like Larry Bird, such teammates as Magic Johnson, and the problems created by racial discrimination for blacks in general and black athletes in particular.

Abe, Masao Zen and Western Thought
University of Hawaii Press 1989 082481214X Paperback Good Paperback
Book has reading creases and some edgewear, the sign of a good book! Inside is clean and excellent. Small of underlining in pencil that you could easily miss when flipping through the book. From Library Journal: Three quarters of this collection of articles by an outstanding philosopher of the Kyoto school is devoted to elucidating Zen for the West. The level of treatment presupposes some experience in Zen meditation as well as a solid background in philosophy and religion. Readers possessing these will find Abe's expositions of Mu , nirvana, purity, Emptiness, Buddha-Nature in Dogen as well as comparisons with Nietzsche, Whitehead, Tillich, Christianity, and science very valuable. The final section, which urges the necessity of transcending nationalism in order to realize a true world community bound together in egoless compassion, is especially timely as well as accessible to educated nonspecialists. Highly recommended. Astrid M. O'Brien Orders normally ship in 1-2 business days depending on what time payment is completed.

Abraham, Henry J. Freedom and the Court : Civil Rights and Liberties in the United States
New York Oxford University Press, USA 2005 0195082648 Paperback Very Good Paperback
Sixth Edition. Very cover scuffing and a few ding marks on back cover. Inside is clean and perfect. Book Description: Since its original publication in 1967, Freedom and the Court has become the standard text on civil liberties law, with more than 100,000 copies in print. This classic is now updated to cover Supreme Court decisions through 2003 and address essential questions of how to reconcile civil liberties--especially personal privacy--with national security in the aftermath of 9/11. Henry J. Abraham and Barbara A. Perry continue to portray the intriguing human stories behind landmark constitutional law cases as they focus on fundamental issues of individual rights relating to freedom of religion, separation of church and state, freedom of expression, due process, and political, racial, and gender equality. This eighth edition of Freedom and the Court delineates recent pathbreaking developments by the Rehnquist Court in civil rights regarding abortion, affirmative action, capital punishment, computers and the Internet, and the Americans with Disabilities Act. It also analyzes the narrowly divided Court's controversial return to a more state-centered jurisprudence and to certain pre-New Deal, pro-business commitments. The book's coverage ranges widely to consider criminal rights in light of the 1990s war on crime, free speech cases involving everything from campaign finance to nude dancing, and equal protection pertaining not only to minority litigation but also to the Bush v. Gore decision--whose first oral argument (for the Palm Beach County case) the authors attended at the U.S. Supreme Court. It also explains the ongoing impact of the Court's invalidation of the Religious Freedom Restoration Act of 1993, and it continues to include comprehensive charts for cases involving freedom of religion, separation of church and state, and gender that are unmatched by any other book.

Achenbach, Joel NEW - Grand Idea: George Washington's Potomac and the Race to the West
Simon & Schuster 2004 0684848570 Hardcover New New Hardcover
Brand new. Just a bit of ever so slight shelf wear but it is new, crisp and unread! May have publishers remainder mark on the edge just to assure it is not returned to the store. From Publishers Weekly:A snappy book about a river and horseback trip more than two centuries ago? Hard to pull off, but Achenbach (Captured by Aliens, etc.) has done so with enough authority to satisfy historians and in a lively style sure to please general readers. His tale is about George Washington's fixation with the West-not today's Far West but the lands inland of the Appalachians-and about what that single-minded interest came to mean for the nation. One wouldn't think that chapters devoted to a single horseback trip that Washington, the nation's first great westerner, took inland in 1784 could be of much interest. But the author uses that trip to unroll a large canvas of subjects, chief among them how a single man's "personal issues had a way of becoming national ones."

Achenbach, Joel NEW - Captured By Aliens: The Search for Life and Truth in a Very Large Universe
Citadel 2003 0806524960 Paperback New Paperback
Brand New! May have remainder mark and/or very light shelf wear. From Publishers Weekly: In energetic, engaging prose, Washington Post staff reporter Achenbach (Why Things Are) introduces readers to an eclectic mix of scientists, millennialists, channelers, UFOlogists, debunkers and true believers who have been captivated, if not captured, by the notion of extraterrestrial life. The central figures are Carl Sagan ("a visionary, a poet of science, a quote machine for reporters on deadline") and Frank Drake, who promulgated a famous equation to predict N, the number of intelligent, communicating civilizations likely to exist in a galaxy like ours. In 1975, Drake estimated N to be 10,000; Sagan guessed a million. Urged on by Sagan and Drake, scientists have tried to eavesdrop on cosmic chat. Nearly 25 years later, the scientific search for extraterrestrial intelligence has continued to reveal nothing, in Achenbach's view, beyond static and the optimism of its advocates. In addition to respected scientists, Achen Orders normally ship in 1-2 business days depending on what time payment is completed.

Ackroyd, Peter First Light
Grove Press 1996 0802134815 Paperback Good Paperback
Back of cover has a small clipping on the book taped to it. Lightly bumped corners and shelf wear. Inside is clean and excellent. Review: First Light is not the darkest of Peter Ackroyd's novels (Hawksmoor has that honor), but fans of the macabre will relish its exhilarating combination of cosmic awe, ancient beings, and creepy underground tunnels, in a humorous suspense story as cleverly paced as a Hitchcock thriller. The story is that the excavation of a neolithic, astronomically aligned grave under the pastoral hills of Dorset, England, coincides with the startling reappearance of ancient stars (including H. P. Lovecraft's Aldebaran) in the night sky. A group of deliciously eccentric characters--archaeologists, astronomers, a stuffy civil servant, a stand-up comic, and vaguely menacing local villagers--converge at the site and collide with each other. As Gabriele Annan wrote in the London Sunday Telegraph, "Ackroyd is such a master of mood, of tension, angst, foreboding, frisson, but also of tenderness and exultation, that one is drawn into his tale as by a magus." From Publishers Weekly: T. S. Eliot biographer and novelist Ackroyd ( Chatterton ) again delivers a fascinatingly ambiguous tale. The discovery of a neolithic grave site on the Devon-Dorset border attracts an assortment of archeologists, astronomers and indigenous characters. Each has his own agenda, from archeologist Mark Clare, hoping to prove a maverick theory, to Joey Hanover, a show-biz character who happens along in search of his roots. Astronomer Damien Fall may have discovered something astonishing, and the exceedingly peculiar Farmer Mint and his idiot savant son, Boy Mint, may hold more cards in this game than anyone knows. The novel is carefully imbued with several ominous portents that lead nowhere, but the tone is so deliciously creepy that it doesn't matter. Ackroyd's sly humor is beguiling; he has given some of the best lines to a lesbian couple and Joey's malaprop wife. (" 'Look at those kikes,' Florey Hanover was saying to her husband. 'Dressed like Winston Churchill.' 'Dykes, dear.' ") Silliness and illumination fit together perfectly in this amusing, eccentric and provocative novel.

Actors: Fred Ward, Joel Grey, Wilford Brimley, J.A. Preston, George Coe VHS - Remo Williams (1985)
MGM 1985 0792841956 VHS New VHS
All original brand new VHS still in the shrink wrap. Run Time: 122 minutes. Review: Talk about hubris: this film, released at the height of sequelmania in the mid-1980s, came with its own intimations of future sequels built right into the title. Unfortunately, you have to make a good first film in order to generate follow-ups--something these filmmakers didn't manage--so the adventure began and ended with this one. Based on the pulp paperback adventure series The Destroyer, the film deals with a ne'er-do-well, Remo Williams (Fred Ward), who is recruited to battle the forces of evil. He is trained by an Asian martial arts master who, in those days before political correctness, was played by Joel Grey in heavy makeup. But the action is both forced and preposterous, jokey without every really being funny. The best thing about the film is Grey--and his stereotyped depiction of an Asian is pretty hard to take today.

Adam The Path of the DreamHealer: My Journey Through the Miraculous World of Energy Healing
Dutton Adult 2006 0525949488 Hardcover Very Good Very Good Hardcover
Light shelf wear. Inside is clean and excellent. Hardcover with unclipped dust jacket. Review: A Reader - I first heard of Adam on ABC's Primetime special several weeks ago. The show took an inside look at his energy healing seminars. Here people with illness come by the thousands and from miles in hopes to be freed from their disease. Why Adam? He's able to "see" a holographic image of a person's illness and break up the negative "clumps" of energy. This begins the circulation of healthy energy and often heals the body of its symptoms as a result. Of course ABC made Adam look a bit like a kook; a deranged young person passing himself off as a healer then opening his pockets and lining them with ill people's money. Hey, that's the media (don't even get me started). therefore, before you prejudge, I offer this disclaimer: This is your life and health, you've got to take the time to educate yourself and form your own conclusions.

Adams, Scott The Joy of Work : Dilbert's Guide to Finding Happiness at the Expense of Your Co-Workers
Collins 1998 0887308716 First Edition Hardcover Very Good Very Good Hardcover
Light shelf wear hardly worth mentioning. Inside is clean and excellent. Stated First Edition with printing string of 1-10. Hardcover with unclipped dustjacket. From Publishers Weekly: Dilbert devotees should enjoy Adams's compendium of advice on office life, subterfuge and pranks. Take his grid that identifies boss types along the axes of capable/incompetent and harmless/evil: with a boss who is both capable and harmless, be sure to delegate upward. Other handy tips: don't return phone calls (if you do, you'll seem accessible and underworked); present overly complicated diagrams with made-up letters (explain when asked: "Some ideas are too big for the alphabet"). Loyal readers have contributed some Adams's suggested office pranks, as well as choice bits like the coinage of the term "multishirking," or doing two nonwork activities at once. Sure, some bits are too silly to be funny (start a phone-sex biz from your cubicle?), and others could use some Dave Barry-style zing. But this book shines with Adams's real advice on creating humor and his hilarious tale of appearing as an expert consultant (aka Mebert) who convinced his clients to put their mission statement to music. As usual, this fourth Dilbert book?timed to arrive with the UPN animated series this fall?is punctuated throughout by hilarious and apropos Dilbert strips. Author tour. Review: Scott Adams's latest work is not a collection of Dilbert cartoons (though recycled strips are liberally sprinkled throughout); it's a dialogue between the man and his fans disguised as a tongue-in-cheek guide to surviving the corporate life. There are chapters on "Office Pranks," "Surviving Meetings," and "Managing Your Co-Workers," with enough weird stories and practical jokes to make any middle manager nervous, especially as many of the tricks and tips come from e-mails sent to Adams by his fans (one tip: never let anyone else use your computer). If these messages are any indication, the creative tide has turned, and now the corporate world is following Dilbert's lead. In the office blocks of America, life is imitating art imitating life, creating a pleasantly postmodern working environment. The final chapter of The Joy of Work, "Handling Criticism," includes a response to Norman Solomon's The Trouble with Dilbert, which accuses Adams of selling out and supporting the corporate hierarchy that he claims to satirize. Adams's response is thorough and convincing, with just enough nastiness (jokes about Solomon's hair, for example) to demonstrate that although Dilbert may not have a mouth, he certainly has teeth. --Simon Leake Orders normally ship in 1-2 business days depending on what time payment is completed.
