Gerber Lou Holtz and Pat Williams to name just a few. Their richly varied stories are poignant energizing and entertaining. Author and actor Malachy McCourt tells how a tattered biography of Gandhi stumbled on in his youth offered a shining example of true humility and planted the seeds that would help support his sobriety decades later. Bestselling author and physician Bernie Siegel M.D. tells how William Saroyan's The Human Comedy helped him realize that in order to successfully treat his patients with life-threatening illnesses "I had to help them live not just prevent them from dying." Actress Catherine Oxenberg reveals how at a life crossroads and struggling with bulimia a book taught her the transforming difference one person could make in the life of another-and why that person for her was Richard Burton. Rafe Esquith the award-winning teacher whose inner-city students have performed Shakespeare all over the world recounts his deep self-doubt in the midst of his success and how reading To Kill a Mockingbird strengthened him to continue teaching. Beloved librarian and bestselling author Nancy Pearl writes how at age ten Robert Heinlein's science fiction book Space Cadet impressed on her the meaning of personal integrity and gave her a vision of world peace she'd never imagined possible. Two years later she marched in her first civil rights demonstration and learned that there's always a way to make "a small contribution to intergalactic harmony." If you're looking for insight and illumination or simply for that next great book to read. You've Got to Read This Book! has treasures in store for you. Collins Hardcover

Kurtz Howard
Media Circus: The Trouble With America's Newspapers
Times Books 1993. Book. Fine. Hardcover. 8vo - over 7�" - 9�" tall. Near-new condition. Remainder mark on bottom outside page edges. NO price clippings. Price inside dustcover: $25.00. Tight spine bright pages. 421 pages. NO writing marks or tears inside book. From Publishers Weekly: This dramatic important dissection of our daily newspapers by the Washington Post 's media reporter exposes the decline of press power since the heady days of Watergate. Kurtz blasts the tabloidization of newspapers which increasingly concentrate on the Trumps' marital troubles and the bedrooms of Gary Hart and Bill Clinton; this overshadows the continuing and costly scandals involving HUD and the nation's S&Ls in the Reagan years. Kurtz examines the print medium's sorry record on racial issues and the passivity of correspondents during the Persian Gulf war when the military managed the news. He also analyzes the impact of USA Today on both page makeup and news coverage concluding that its sound bites are insufficient to keep the reading public informed. Contending that "the smell of death" surrounds many newspapers Kurtz offers 11 remedies from "Make People Mad" to "Set the Agenda." First serial to Washington Post Magazine. Copyright 1993 Reed Business Information Inc. From School Library Journal: YA-An insider's look at journalism today. Kurtz evenhandedly points out the failings poor judgment and fuzzy ethical standards exercised by newspapers including his own Washington Post. He identifies a bias toward bad news and beginning with Watergate an emphasis on scandal. He gives examples of the excess coverage of celebrities and cites fear of libel for delaying exposure of major stories such as the S&L scandal. In a readable style the author relates the history of the newspaper business and offers remedies to restore its original purpose of providing information. The chapters are short but complete; the detailed bibliography is excellent for research papers. This should be required reading not only for career assignments but also for classes in civics and social studies because knowing how articles are put together and by whom is essential to thoughtful interpretation. A fascinating discussion of the role of newspapers in our daily lives. Judy Sokoll Fairfax County Public Library VA Copyright 1993 Reed Business Information Inc. Times Books Hardcover

Now Woodward tells the story of his long complex relationship with W. Mark Felt the enigmatic former No. 2 man in the Federal Bureau of Investigation who helped end the presidency of Richard Nixon."

Not knowing Felt's secret role in the demise of his own presidency Nixon testified at Felt's trial and Ronald Reagan later pardoned him. Woodward lays bare his own personal struggles as he tries to define his relationship his obligations and his gratitude to this extraordinary confidential source." The Secret Man is an intense 33-year journey providing a one-of-a-kind study of trust deception pressures alliances doubts and a lifetime of secrets. Woodward has spent more than three decades asking himself why Mark Felt became Deep Throat. Now the world can see what happened and why brining to a close one of the last chapters of Watergate.

Armed with a solid understanding of the work of Frost Faulkner O'Connor Hemingway Twain and Steinbeck he set out to visit the physical sites these authors used to shape their literary geographies. The journey makes for interesting reading although now and then bits of amateurish analysis distracts from his valuable observations on the creative process.

NO writing marks or tears inside book. 274 pages. Synopsis: The magnificent title story of this collection of fairy tales for adults describes the strange and uncanny relationship between its extravagantly intelligent heroine--a world renowned scholar of the art of story-telling--and the marvelous being that lives in a mysterious bottle found in a dusty shop in an Istanbul bazaar. As A.S. Byatt renders this relationship with a powerful combination of erudition and passion she makes the interaction of the natural and the supernatural seem not only convincing but inevitable. The companion stories in this collection each display different facets of Byatt's remarkable gift for enchantment. They range from fables of sexual obsession to allegories of political tragedy; they draw us into narratives that are as mesmerizing as dreams and as bracing as philosophical meditations; and they all us to inhabit an imaginative universe astonishing in the precision of its detail its intellectual consistency and its splendor. "A dreamy treat. It is not merely strange it is wondrous." --Boston Globe "Alternatingly erudite and earthy direct and playful. If Scheherazade ever needs a break Byatt can step in indefinitely." --Chicago Tribune "Byatt's writing is crystalline and splendidly imaginative. These are perfectly formed tales." --Washington Post Book World. Vintage Books Paperback

Thirty Ways Of Looking At Hillary: Reflections By Women Writers
HarperCollins 2008. Book. Fine. Hardcover. First Edition. 8vo - over 7�" - 9�" tall. Near-new condition. Stated First Edition. Number line: 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1. Small remainder mark on bottom outside page edges. NO price clippings. NO writing marks or tears inside book. 254 pages. Tight spine clean pages. From Publishers Weekly Starred Review. Whatever your political leanings you'll be alternately pleased and dismayed by the parade of highly intelligent contributors-including fiction author Lorrie Moore New Yorker staff writer Susan Orlean and Vanity Fair editor Leslie Bennetts-offering their views on presidential candidate and former First Lady Hillary Clinton. Though many issues are covered the most prevalent is the gender question: "I wish I could vote gender blind" says novelist and essayist Kathryn Harrison but admits that "everything else being equal I will vote for a woman over a man." Rarely if ever has cookie-baking or not baking hairstyles and spouses been so often brought up in relation to a presidential candidate but the question of authenticity dogs the every move of both Clinton and her critics; says Laura Kipnis "the specter of loss looms at the moment at least for men. So what gets spoken of instead Well hair for one thing." Elsewhere Daphne Merkin looks at Bill and Hillary as a couple; Susan Cheever examines Clinton's list of favorite books; and Deborah Tannen explores the "damned-if-you-do damned-if-you-don't paradox of women in charge." Readers interested in Hillary gender politics or the evolution of the presidential campaign should find this book fascinating. Copyright Reed Business Information a division of Reed Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved. Review "A timely book of essays or critiques it often seems written by many of today's prominent women writers.the book is decidedly fluid.the contributors share a certain elegance in tone.the collection is a unique study and more insightful if critical than a general biography." -- Forbes.com "An unusually insightful and particularly well written collection." -- Daily News "As these witty insightful voices struggle to get a grasp on this larger-than-life figure they expose how difficult a task that really is." -- Redbook Magazine "Clever entertaining provocative and elegantly written." -- Newsweek "Intriguing. These essays attest to the infinite subjectivity of people's views the pure relativism of perception.This volume of reflections corroborates Mrs. Clinton's own long-ago observation that she is 'a Rorschach test' for voters." -- Michiko Kakutani New York Times "Pithy imaginative and bold essays by exceptionally shrewd women writers.In all a discerning engrossing dissection not only of a galvanizing figure but also of our conflicted feelings about women and power." -- Booklist "The collection gathers strength as the variety and ferocity of opinions insights disappointments and projections unfolds often revealing more about the writers than about Hillary and more about our warring notions of power politics and sex roles than it seems possible to hold in any brain at one time." -- Elizabeth Benedict Huffington Post "Thirty Ways does provide grist for thought.canny and thoughtful." -- New York Observer "This original collection features a stellar group of women writers." -- Newsday "Well-written.thoughtful." -- Miami Herald.

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
Pushcart Press 1996. Book. Very Good. Trade Paperback. 8vo - over 7�" - 9�" tall. A photo of this book is available. Very-good clean copy. NO remainder marks or clippings. 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.

Gallant Mavis
Across the Bridge: New Stories
Toronto ON Canada: McClelland & Stewart 1993. Book. Fine. Hardcover. 8vo - over 7�" - 9�" tall. Near-new condition. NO remainder marks or price clippings. Price inside dustcover: $23.99. Tight spine bright pages. NO writing marks or tears inside book. 198 pages. Synopsis A new collection of stories by Mavis Gallant is always a major publishing event. For this is the writer who like Margaret Atwood and Alice Munro has made Canadian short stories a presence on the world literary scene and on our bestseller lists. 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.
