Stead Christina; Geering RG. Edited with Afterword R. G.
Ocean of Story: The Uncollected Stories of Christina Stead
New York New York U.S.A.: Viking Press 1985. Book. Very Good . Hardcover. 8vo - over 7�" - 9�" tall. A photo of this book is available. NO remainder marks or price clippings. Price inside dustcover: 12.95 British Pounds. Tight spine clean pages. NO writing marks or tears inside book. Pages show tanning. 552 pages. Initials on bottom outside pages. Library Journal: Stead was never an immensely popular writer but her fiction was critically well-received and novels such as The Man Who Loved Children brought her wide recognition. Geering has collected some 35 short pieces not previously published in book form. Many of these works originally appeared in periodicals but others were found after the author's death and are unrevised. These will interest students of her work rather than general readers. Other stories have wider appeal and the arrangement by topic rather than strictly chronologicalmakes this collection more generally readable than most compilations of works written over a long period of time. Still Ocean of Story is best suited to academic collections where there is likely to be interest in Stead's minor writings. Mary K. Prokop CEL Regional Lib. Savannah Ga. Viking Press Hardcover

Germs: Biological Weapons and America's Secret War
Simon & Schuster 2001. Book. Fine. Hardcover. 4to - over 9�" - 12" tall. Near-new condition. NO remainder marks or price clippings. Price inside dustcover: $27.00. Tight spine bright pages. 383 pages. Upper top corners of book show light bumping. NO writing marks or tears inside book. In the wake of the anthrax letters following the attacks on the World Trade Center Americans have begun to grapple with two difficult truths: that there is no terrorist threat more horrifying -- and less understood -- than germ warfare and that it would take very little to mount a devastating attack on American soil. In Germs three veteran reporters draw on top sources inside and outside the U.S. government to lay bare Washington's secret strategies for combating this deadly threat. Featuring an inside look at how germ warfare has been waged throughout history and what form its future might take and in whose hands Germs reads like a gripping detective story told by fascinating key figures: American and Soviet medical specialists who once made germ weapons but now fight their spread FBI agents who track Islamic radicals the Iraqis who built Saddam Hussein's secret arsenal spies who travel the world collecting lethal microbes and scientists who see ominous developments on the horizon. With clear scientific explanations and harrowing insights Germs is a masterfully written -- and timely -- work of investigative journalism. Simon & Schuster Hardcover

Schell Jonathan; Shawn William Preface
Observing the Nixon Years: "Notes and Comment" from the New Yorker on the Vietnam War and the Watergate Crisis 1969-1975
New York New York U.S.A.: Pantheon Books 1989. Book. Near-Fine. Hardcover. First Edition. 8vo - over 7�" - 9�" tall. A photo of this book is available. Stated First Edition. Near-fine condition. Small remainder mark on top. Inside-to-front dustcover flap has been clipped. Tight spine bright pages. NO tears inside book. Green boards with black spine/silver lettering clean and bright. ONLY writing/mark inside book is previous owner's name and address blacked out in book front on blank page. 275 pages. From Publishers Weekly In this collection of more than 100 pieces New Yorker writer Schell analyzes and interrelates the conduct of the war in Vietnam the Nixon administration's Southeast Asian policy and Watergate. Remarkable in penetration and with prophetic insight the articles culled from the "Notes and Comment" section of the magazine reflect broodingly upon the major issues of that era including the administration's attempts to intimidate the press and the threat to the Constitution on the part of President Nixon Vice-President Spiro Agnew and Attorney-General John Mitchell. In well-crafted prose the essays convey with stirring eloquence a growing alarm over "the inverted moral order" that prevailed in the Nixon White House. Shawn New Yorker former editor rightly notes in the preface that the pieces constitute "not only an incomparable political document but also a literary work that will endure." Copyright 1989 Reed Business Information Inc. From Library Journal In content and coverage this collection of columns by this former New Yorker writer is almost identical to his The Time of Illusion Knopf 1976. Undoubtedly they were the original sources for that book. The columns have worn better than the book; they give the reader a taste of the heat of those turbulent years. Schell's lucid yet passionate criticisms of the conduct of the U.S. war in Vietnam and the misdeeds of the Nixon administration are based on what he felt were threats to both the constitutional process with Nixon going above the law and the integrity of language the government only caring that their press communications were credible if not truthful. His columns are a model of informed dissent in a democratic system. - Carl A. Trocki Georgetown Univ. Washington D.C. Copyright 1989 Reed Business Information Inc. Pantheon Books Hardcover

The Pushcart Prize XX: Best of the Small Presses 1996

Covers are clean NO tears. 570 pages. NO writing marks or tears inside book. Tight spine clean pages. Synopsis The most honored literary series in America celebrates two decades of continuous publication. Library Journal: America's small presses are strong diverse and vibrant even more so than one might guess from this flagship compilation that in its 20th year is showing some signs of tired blood. The fiction tends to be very strong particularly stories by Maxine Kumin Charles Baxter Don DeLillo Alice Schell Nora Cobb Keller Eileen Pollack Rick Moody and Stephen Dobyns. While poems by Marilyn Chin Linda Bierds Dennis Simpson Cyrus Cassells Alberto Rios Sandra McPherson Galway Kinnell and A.R. Ammons are all of the highest order many others are blandly prosaic. Kinnell's pithy question to a Dickinson scholar "Why not first try listening to her" might also be directed to the poetry editors. The poor quality of works by Joyce Carol Oates John Barth John Updike and Grace Paley and the exclusion of flash fiction performance poetry cyberpunk or fantasy provide evidence that even the small press has an old boys and girls network. Although this is not the watershed anthology one might hope for the pluses far outweigh the minuses. Recommended for public and academic libraries.-Jim Dwyer California State Univ. Lib. Chico Biography: Bill Henderson is the founder and editor of the Pushcart Prize. He received the 2006 National Book Critic Circle's Lifetime Achievement Award and the Poets & Writers / Barnes & Noble Writers for Writers Award. He lives in Wainscott New York.

In Across the Bridge four of the eleven stories are connected following the fortunes of the Carette family in Montreal. In 1933 their widowed mother teaches Berthe and Marie to deny that she was a seamstress and to say instead that she was clever with her hands. In The Chosen Husband the luckless suitor Louis has to undergo the front-parlour scrutiny of Marie's mother and sister: But then Louis began to cough and had to cover his mouth. He was in trouble with a caramel. The Carettes looked away so that he could strangle unobserved. 'How dark it is' said Berthe to let him think he could not be seen. We then follow their marriage the birth of Raymond and Raymond's flight from his mother and aunt to his eventual role as a motel manager in Florida. 'The place was full of Canadians' he said. 'They stole like raccoons.' With the exception of The Fenton Child an eerie story set in postwar Montreal the other stories take place in the Paris Mavis Gallant knows so well. Across the Bridge the title story begins with the narrator's mother throwing her reluctant daughter's wedding invitations into the Seine. I watched the envelopes fall in a slow shower and land on the dark water and float apart. Strangers leaned on the parapet andstared too but nobody spoke. This is a superb collection of stories by a writer at the top of her form. McClelland & Stewart Hardcover

Goldberg Bernard
Bias: A CBS Insider Exposes How the Media Distort the News
Washington D.C. U.S.A.: Regnery Publishing 2002. Book. Fine. Hardcover. 8vo - over 7�" - 9�" tall. Near-new condition - NO remainder marks or price clippings - Price inside dustcover: $27.95 - NO writing marks or tears - Tight spine - Bright pages - 232 pages. Number line: 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1. Think the media are biased CONSERVATIVES HAVE BEEN crying foul for years but now a veteran CBS reporter has come forward to expose how liberal bias pervades the mainstream media. Even if you've suspected your nightly news is slanted to the left it's far worse than you think. Breaking ranks and naming names Emmy Award-winning broadcast journalist Bernard Goldberg reveals a corporate news culture in which the close-mindedness is breathtaking journalistic integrity has been pawned to liberal opinion and "entertainment" trumps hard news every time. In his three decades at CBS Goldberg repeatedly voiced his concerns to network executives about the often one-sided nature of the news coverage. But no one listened to his complaints-or if they did listen they did nothing about the problem. Finally Goldberg had no choice but to blow the whistle on his own industry to break the code of silence that pervades the news business. Bias is the result. As the author reveals "liberal bias" doesn't mean simply being hard on Republicans and easy on Democrats. Real media bias is the result of how those in the media see the world-and their bias directly affects how we all see the world. In Bias you'll learn: How on issues ranging from homelessness to AIDS reporters have simply regurgitated the propaganda of pressure groups they favor to the detriment of honest reporting The Peter Jennings test for classifying politicians-and how all the networks do it The network color bar-why so many "victims" on network news stories are blond-haired blue-eyed and middle class How one high-level CBS News executive told Goldberg that of course the networks tilt left-but in the next breath said he'd deny that statement if Goldberg ever went public One of the biggest stories of our time-and why you probably didn't hear about it on the evening news How political correctness in network newsrooms puts "sensitivity" ahead of facts The real Dan Rather-a man who regards criticism of liberal bias as treason. If you ever suspected the network news was shortchanging the truth Goldberg will not only prove you right he'll give you a glimpse of just how it's done and how fairness balance and integrity have disappeared from network television. SYNOPSIS IN HIS NEARLY thirty years at CBS News Emmy Award- winner Bernard Goldberg earned a reputation as one of the preeminent reporters in the television news business. When he looked at his own industry however he saw that the media far too often ignored their primary mission: objective disinterested reporting. Again and again he saw that they slanted the news to the left. For years Goldberg appealed to reporters producers and network executives for more balanced reporting but no one listened. The liberal bias continued. Now in Bias he blows the whistle on the news business showing exactly how the media slant their coverage while insisting that they're just reporting the facts.

Safire William
Language Maven Strikes Again
New York New York U.S.A.: Doubleday 1990. Book. Very Good . Hardcover. 8vo - over 7�" - 9�" tall. Very-good clean condition. NO remainder marks or price clippings. Price inside dustcover: $22.95. Tight spine bright pages. NO writing marks or tears inside book. 448 pages. Publishers Weekly In this sixth collection of his syndicated ``On Language'' columns Safire deals wittily playfully and above all instructively with thorny linguistic issues. He takes to task writers who use the passive voice elitists who grimly stick to ``dicta'' and ``memoranda'' despite the general preference for ``-ums'' and groups who declare themselves offended by the use of certain words such as ``tribes''. The lordly language maven discusses the proper use of ``his/hers/theirs'' the pronunciation of ``vagaries'' the naming of pets and perfumes the difficulty of pinning down a definition of ``secular humanism.'' As in previous collections Safire includes articulate and ornery responses from the Gotcha! Gang the Nitpickers League and such individuals as Jacques Barzun Daniel Moynihan and Art Buchwald.
