Horgan, Paul
TRACINGS: A Book of Partial Portraits
New York NY U.S.A.: Farrar Straus & Giroux 1993. 1st Edition 1st Printing. Hardcover. Fine/Fine. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. In this fascinating book of portraits Paul Horgan records his personal encounters with some of the outstanding artists of the century. For over fifty years - from the time when as a teenage reporter in New Mexico he met the doomed poet Vachel Lindsay to the final illness of his friend Igor Stravinsky - Horgan not only crossed paths with the great and near-great but his writer's eye enriched these moments with special grace and depth. Whether in comedy or the spirit of elegy and with the lightest touch TRACINGS brings together partial portraits of such legendary figures as opera stars Feodor Chaliapin Mary Garden and Marguerite D'Alvarez; actresses Minnie Maddern Fiske and Greta Garbo; painter Peter Hurd; writers Somerset Maugham T. S. Eliot Thornton Wilder and Edmund Wilson. While researching his Pulitzer Prize biography Lamy of Santa Fe Horgan is granted an unheard-of privilege when the "100-year" rule governing the Vatican's archives is mysteriously waived for him. In Rome during wartime he is also permitted to spend several hours in the Sistine Chapel entirely alone. This rich collection confirms the verdict of James K. Morris: "Paul Horgan is one of a handful of writers in America today who deserve the title of literary master." Fine first edition first printing in fine mylar-protected dust jacket.

Pierce, Charles P.
HARD TO FORGET: An Alzheimer's Story
New York NY U.S.A.: Random House Inc 2000. First Edition 1st Printing. Hardcover. Fine/Fine. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. In this remarkable book Charles P. Pierce intertwines two dramatic stories-the scientific race to discover the causes of Alzheimer's and the moving experiences of the Pierce family as they struggle with the disease. More than four million Americans develop Alzheimer's every year just as Charles Pierce's father did-horrifically and genetically-and in Hard to Forget Pierce takes us deep into the country of this disease to explore how it affects both the body and a family. When his father is diagnosed with Alzheimer's the author goes on a quest to discover everything he can about the disease. He discusses here Dr. Alois Alzheimer's work early in the twentieth century then shows how Watson and Crick's announcement of the double-helix structure of DNA opened up the field of Alzheimer's research and led to discoveries by the "genome cowboys"-Dr. Allen Roses Dr. Peter Hyslop and others-of the genetic components of the disease. At the heart of this book too is the powerful emotional story of how the Pierce family coped with Alzheimer's and with the threat that the author-and his children-might also inherit it. Elegant and richly informative HARD TO FORGET is a unique and provocative book.

Washington D.C. U.S.A.: Smithsonian Books 2004. 1st Edition 1st Printing. Hardcover. As New/Fine. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Foreword by Bill Moyers. Working for four presidents over six decades R. Sargent "Sarge" Shriver founded the Peace Corps launched the War on Poverty created Head Start and Legal Services for the Poor started the Special Olympics and served as ambassador to France. Yet from the moment he married Joseph P. Kennedy's daughter Eunice in 1953 Shriver had to navigate a difficult course between independence and family loyalty that tended to obscure his incredible achievements. Scott Stossel through complete access to Shriver and his family renders the story of his life in cinematic detail. Shriver's myriad historical legacies are testaments to the power of his vision and his ability to inspire others. But it is the colorful personality and indomitable spirit of the man himself-traits that allowed him to survive the Depression WWII and the Kennedy family-that will inspire readers today to expand the "horizons of the possible." 761 pp with index.

New York New York U.S.A.: Crown Publishers Inc 2003. 1st Edition 1st Printing. Hardcover. Fine/Fine. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. As half the esteemed writing team of Jane and Michael Stern Jane Stern had achieved every success a writer can hope for: acclaim bestsellerdom and the opportunity to travel the world. But five years ago Stern found herself gripped by a terrible depression. She became reclusive and paranoid immobilized by panic attacks and hypochondria. AMBULANCE GIRl is the story of how she survived a midlife crisis and severe depression by doing exactly the opposite of what she had found comfortable for a lifetime. With humility and humor Stern recalls 140 hours of rigorous training in the classroom of an ex-Marine who did his best to frighten her off with EMT horror stories. She describes a night spent in a hospital ER dealing with a schizophrenic karate teacher who had just tried to kill his mother and the confusion and sometimes pathos of her first calls as a rookie EMT. And as time goes by Stern's new vocation opens her eyes to some of the secrets of human nature and the inner life of the town she had called home for 20 years. Each call Stern describes is a vignette of human nature often with a life in the balance. From an AIDS hospice to town drunks yuppie wife beaters to psychopaths Jane comes to see the true nature and underlying mysteries of a town she had called home for twenty years. Throughout the book we follow her as she gets her sea legs and finally bonds with the burly handsome firefighters who become her colleagues. At the end she is named the first woman officer of the department-a triumph we joyously share with her.Fine first edition first printing in fine mylar-protected dust jacket.

ESCAPE FROM SLAVERY: The True Story Of My Ten Years In Captivity-- And My Journey To Freedom In America
New York NY U.S.A.: St. Martin's Press 2003. 1st Edition 1st Printing. Hardcover. As New/Fine. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. In this groundbreaking modern slave narrative Francis Bok shares his remarkable story with grace honesty and a wisdom gained from surviving ten years in captivity. May 1986: Selling his mother's eggs and peanuts near his village in southern Sudan seven year old Francis Bok's life was shattered when Arab raiders on horseback armed with rifles and long knives burst into the quiet marketplace murdering men and women and gathering the young children into a group. Strapped to horses and donkeys Francis and others were taken north into lives of slavery under wealthy Muslim farmers. For ten years Francis lived alone in a shed near the goats and cattle that were his responsibility. Fed with scraps from the table slowly learning bits of an unfamiliar language and religion the boy had almost no human contact other than his captor's family. After two failed attempts to escape-each bringing severe beatings and death threats-Francis finally escaped at age seventeen a dramatic breakaway on foot that was his final chance. Yet his slavery did not end there for even as he made his way toward the capital city of Khartoum others sought to deprive him of his freedom. Determined to avoid that fate and discover what had happened to his family on that terrible day in 1986 the teenager persevered through prison and refugee camps for three more years winning the attention of United Nations officials and being granted passage to America. Now a student and an anti-slavery activist Francis Bok has made it his life mission to combat world slavery. His is the first voice to speak for an estimated twenty seven million people held against their will in nearly every nation including our own. ESCAPE FROM SLAVER is at once a riveting adventure a story of desperation and triumph and a window revealing a world that few have survived to tell.

SINATRA: The Life
New York NY U.S.A.: Alfred A. Knopf Inc. 2005. First Edition 1st Printing. Hardcover. Fine/Fine. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. SINATRA is the story of an American icon who held the imagination of millions for more than fifty years and whose influence in popular music was unsurpassed in the twentieth century. As a child he said he had heard "symphonies from the universe" in his head. No one could have imagined where those sounds would lead him. Tracing the arc of this incredible life from the humble beginnings in Hoboken to the twilight years as a living legend in Malibu Sinatra follows a career built on raw talent sheer willpower-and criminal connections. Drawing on a treasure trove of documents and interviews Anthony Summers and Robbyn Swan reveal stunning new information about Sinatra's links to such Mafia figures as Sam Giancana and Lucky Luciano. And we see for the first time where the Mafia connection began how and why it lasted and how it impinged on others not least President John F. Kennedy. Here too is the core of the private Sinatra-alternately caustic and sympathetic-that the singer so long concealed. The heartbreaking truth about his passion for Ava Gardner emerges from never-before-published conversations with Gardner herself. In exclusive intimate interviews the women who loved Sinatra-some of them unknown to the public until now-share memories of the joy and pain of their relationships with him. And we learn what it was like to be the friend of a man who was generous and loyal to a fault yet-as some of his fellow Rat Packers discovered-who could turn abruptly into a vindictive brute. Dramatic eye-opening and unfailingly fair-minded Sinatra is masterful biography: the revelatory story of a brilliant artist and an infinitely complex man. 576 pp with Index. Finefirst edition first printing in fine mylar-protected dust jacket. Not remainder-marked or price-clipped BIOS1 <br/> <br/> Alfred A. Knopf, Inc. hardcover
