Defying convention the recent debutante took the early morning streetcar to the spittoon-filled hard-swearing offices of her big-city newspaper to 'hunt and peck' on an old Underwood typewriter as one of the first woman columnists at the South's largest newspaper. From 1922 until 1926 Mitchell completed dozens of articles interviews sketches and book reviews only a handful of which have ever been reprinted. Included here are those pieces singled out by Mitchell as among her favourites those of which she was most proud. Hill Street Pr Hardcover

Alterman Eric; Green Mark
What Liberal Media: The Truth About Bias and the News
New York New York U.S.A.: Basic Books 2003. Book. Very Good . Hardcover. 8vo - over 7�" - 9�" tall. NO remainder marks or price clippings. NO tears inside book. About half of the pages show highlighting. Does NOT interfere with reading. Dustcover shows slight wear NO tears. Tight spine. 322 pages. The question of whose interests the media protects and how has achieved holy-grail-like significance. Is media bias keeping us from getting the whole story If so who is at fault Is it the liberals who are purported to be running the newsrooms television and radio stations of this country duping an unsuspecting public into mistaking their party line for news Or is it the conservatives who have identified media bias as a reliably inflammatory rallying cry around which to consolidate their political base as they cynically work the refs The media has become so pervasive in our lives that regardless of exactly where on the ideological fence you sit the question of media bias has become all but unavoidable.Most of the criticism and anger has so far emanated from the political Right which has offered us the rather unconvincing argument that a systematic Left bias is destroying the quality of news and debate in our country today. Journalist and historian Eric Alterman begs to differ.What Liberal Media confronts the question of liberal bias and in so doing provides a sharp and utterly convincing assessment of the realities of political bias in the news. In distinct contrast to the conclusions reached by Ann Coulter Bernard Goldberg Sean Hannity and Bill O'Reilly Alterman finds the media to be on the whole far more conservative than liberal though it is possible to find evidence for both views. The fact that conservatives howl so much louder and more effectively than liberals is one significant reason that big media is always on its guard for liberal bias but gives conservative bias a free pass. After reading What Liberal Media you will understand that the real news story of recent years is not whether this newspaper or that news anchor is biased but rather to what extent the entire news industry is organized to communicate conservative views and push our politics to the right - regardless of how liberal any given reporter may be.

Frazier Ian Editor
Humor Me: An Anthology of Funny Contemporary Writing Plus Some Great Old Stuff Too
New York New York U.S.A.: Ecco Pr 2010. 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. Remainder mark on bootom. NO price clippings. Tight spine clean pages. NO writing marks or tears inside book. 321 pages. From Booklist Funny is as funny does and the writers in Frazier's zany anthology of amusement do humor exceptionally well. From the inimitable Roy Blount Jr. to the irrepressible Bruce Jay Friedman the wry Calvin Trillin to the withering David Sedaris a veritable who's who of contemporary and classic humorists examine all manner of human frailty through a slightly skewed lens. The fact that sometimes the humans are not of this earth or are oh say deceased bloodthirsty conquerors matters not at all. Frazier's point is that there is humor to be found everywhere. Indeed his own Lamentations of the Father in which the rules of parenthood are laid down in the voice of the Almighty sets the standard for other laugh-inducing entries such as Steve Martin's droll analysis of our new century in The Third Millennium: So Far So Good and Simon Rich's clever adults-versus-children table-turning scenario in Play Nice. With an accessible balance of short slapstick and cerebral satire Frazier's collection is good for more than a few laughs. --Carol Haggas Product Description Humor Me is a literary cavalcade of contemporary American funnymen and funnywomen of the page. Selected by the renowned humor-ist Ian Frazier and featuring more than fifty pieces of the greatest comic writing of our time the book includes such masters of the form as Roy Blount Jr. Bruce Jay Friedman Veronica Geng Jack Handey Garrison Keillor Steve Martin and Calvin Trillin as well as work by newer comic stars like Andy Borowitz Larry Doyle Simon Rich George Saunders and David Sedaris. The pieces were published in the past thirty years in such popular magazines as The New Yorker McSweeney's The Atlantic National Lampoon and Outside. But the book also includes a handful of older comic masterpieces that nobody in need of a laugh should ever be without among them classics by Bret Harte Elizabeth Bishop Donald Barthelme and Mark Twain.

Wright George T. Editor
Seven American Stylists from Poe to Mailer: An Introduction
University of Minnesota Press 1973. Ex-Library. Very Good. Hardcover. 8vo - over 7�" - 9�" tall. Very-good clean ex-library hardback. Usual library markings. Inner pages are free from writing and tears. 318 pages. Tight spine clean pages. Product Description This book provides critical introductions biographical information and selected bibliographies for seven outstanding American literary stylists. It is based on the material of seven pamphlets in the series of University of Minnesota Pamphlets on American Writers: Edgar Allan Poe by Roger Asselineau George Santayana by Newton P. Stallknecht Stephen Crane by Jean Cazemajou Gertrude Stein by Frederick J. Hoffman Vladimir Nabokov by Julian Moynahan Robert Penn Warren by Paul West and Norman Mailer by Richard Foster. In an introduction Professor Wright finds many threads of similarity as well as diversity among the seven writers. He points out: "They seem at first about as miscellaneous a set of distinguished writers as American literature could provide but of all seven at least this can be said: that early in any discussion of their work we must talk of style." He observes that as American authors go they make an unusually cosmopolitan group but they belong to different eras and no two of them are associated with the same literary movement. All have written fiction but also poetry. They have produced works of various kinds - criticism autobiography translations plays opera libretti political commentary and film. Their common interest in style he suggests points to other similarities of structure and outlook peculiar perhaps to American stylists to American writers generally or even to literature since Poe. In conclusion he writes: "Mailer tells us that 'Style is character' and by this standard even the most bizarre of the writers before us is a solid citizen. But it is also possible to say that nowadays style is poetry and to claim for these seven stylists the name of poet.". University of Minnesota Press Hardcover

"I have been teaching Composition for almost 20 years and this is the best book I have found for students taking the second part of English Comp - which is usually Literature based." "Griffith has put together a highly useful text one that is especially strong on practical instructions for writing about literature. Much thought has gone into the text's organization and content.

This book puts the power of transformational reading into your hands. Jack Canfield cocreator of the bestselling Chicken Soup for the Soul� series and self-actualization pioneer Gay Hendricks have invited notable people to share personal stories of books that changed their lives. What book shaped their outlook and habits Helped them navigate rough seas Spurred them to satisfaction and success The contributors include Dave Barry Stephen Covey Malachy McCourt Jacquelyn Mitchard Mark Victor Hansen John Gray Christiane Northrup Bernie Siegel Craig Newmark Michael E. 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

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.

From Library Journal: When Emily Dickinson wrote "There is no Frigate like a Book" she acknowledged what most readers take as fact: literature can and usually does "take us Lands away." Pearson has done what we would like to do. 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. However this sturdy ship is sure to be seaworthy. Recommended. Photos not seen.-- Vincent D. Balitas Allentown Coll. Center Valley Pa. Copyright 1991 Reed Business Information Inc.

He has received numerous awards for his work including the Christopher Jane Addams Carter G. Woodson Regina Medal Jefferson Cup and Golden Kite awards. Born in Worcester Massachusetts Meltzer discovered the joy of reading early on. As a child he devoured the written word in its many forms: newspaper comics dime-store novels and the books he could get for free at the local public library. He includes Walt Whitman Carl Sandburg and Sherwood Anderson among his early influences. Meltzer's first success came with his book A Pictorial History of the Negro in America which he worked on with Langston Hughes an important African American poet. After this project he turned his attention to writing a biography of Mark Twain. This was the first of many well-received biographies written by Meltzer. In addition to biographies he continues to write about many significant historic movements and events such as the Great Depression and the Civil Rights Movement. Franklin Watts / Scholastic Hardcover

Byatt A. S.
The Djinn in the Nightingale's Eye: Five Fairy Stories
New York New York U.S.A.: Vintage Books 1997. Book. Near-Fine. Trade Paperback. 8vo - over 7�" - 9�" tall. Near-fine condition. NO remainder marks or clippings. Tight spine clean pages. Illustrated. 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

Morrison Susan Editor
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.

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
