Abby Aldrich Rockefeller: The Woman in the Family Kert, Bernice - FIRST EDITION SIGNED BY AUTHOR
Westminster, Maryland, U.S.A. Random House Inc 1993 039456975x Stated 1st Edition Hard Copy Very Good+ Very Good+ 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall Signed by Author
537 pages. Signed by author on plate pasted on the half-title page. Stated 1st edition. From the dust jacket: "In 1894, Abby Aldrich, the buoyant, impulsive daughter of Rhode Island's Senator Nelson Aldrich, met John D. Rockefeller, Jr., the deeply reserved heir to the Standard Oil fortune. This unlikely pair fell in love, but it was seven years before John felt confident enough to propose. Once married, Abby used her empathy, willingness to experiment, and defiant optimism to leaven John's narrow, bureaucratic way of thinking. She expanded his vision of what the Rockefeller fortune could do, shaping the family into the progressive force in philanthropy, the arts, and politics that we know today. Drawing on letters, diaries, and revealing interviews with family members and others, Bernice Kert has created a portrait of this vibrant woman that is both epic and intimate, moving seamlessly from the intricacies of her home life, to her work in larger arenas, to her crowning achievement, founding what eventually became the Museum of Modern Art.

Book is in Near Fine condition. From the publisher: "The riveting true adventure and discovery of a gold-laden shipwreck and the scientific genius who recovered its treasure, while breaking the barriers of deep-ocean exploration. In September 1857, the S.S. Central America, carrying 500 passengers and tons of gold from the California mountains, sunk in a hurricane 200 miles off the Carolina coast. Lost in legend for more than a century, the tragic story of this shipwrecked steamer resurfaced in 1989 when Tommy Thompson, an ocean engineer, sailed into Norfolk harbour with over ten tons of pioneer gold. Using a combination of oceanography, computer science and information theory, Thompson's team recovered mint-state coins, antique bars and sparkling gold dust from 8,000 feet below the surface of the sea -- proving everyone wrong who said it couldn't be done."

Drawing on the recollections of celebrities such as Tom Cruise, Yoko Ono, Warren Beatty, Courtney Love, Paul Simon, and even Cher (whom Geffen nearly married), The Operator transports readers to a world that is as ruthless as it is dazzling, revealing a great American story about success and the bargains made for it."

Lost In Space: The Fall Of NASA And The Dream Of A New Space Age Klerkx, Greg - 1ST EDITION SIGNED BY AUTHOR
New York, New York, U.S.A. Pantheon Books 2004 0375421505 Stated 1st Edition/1st Printing Hard Copy Very Good+ Very Good+ 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall Signed by Author
Pantheon Books, New York, 2004. Signed by author on title page (flat-signed), with "autographed copy" sticker on front of dust jacket. Stated 1st edition/1st printing. Book is in Very Good+ condition: rear board doesn't lie quite flat; light bumping on top and bottom of spine and at corners; binding is tight and pages are clean and bright. Dust jacket is in Very Good+ condition: light rubbing on edges; no tears or chips; not price-clipped. From the dust jacket: "In Lost in Space, Greg Klerkx argues that ever since the last human left the moon in 1972, the Space Age has been stuck in the wrong orbit -- and NASA, the organization that once fueled the world's space-faring hopes, has been largely responsible for keeping it there. With the loss of the space shuttle Columbia, there has never been a more critical time for anyone interested in the future of space exploration to ask two questions: Whatever happened to the Space Age? And how do we get it back? In pursuit of answers to these questions, Klerkx goes behind the scenes to reveal how NASA devolved from a pioneer of new horizons to a blundering bureaucracy concerned mainly with its own continued existence. Klerkx describes how NASA became dependent on projects geared mainly toward the needs of its budgetary allies -- leading contractors in the 'big aerospace' community -- while drifting ever further from the public that had once cheered on its efforts to explore humankind's last frontier. Chief among his criticisms, Klerkx makes clear the misguided and expensive folly of the space shuttle -- the Edsel of space transportation -- and chronicles NASA?s clumsy development of the money-gobbling International Space Station. A damning, eye-opening indictment of NASA, Lost in Space is filled with fascinating perspectives on the ideas and technology behind modern space travel. But above all, Lost in Space is a story of people: some who devoted their lives to NASA and continue to believe in its promise, and others who became embittered by NASA?s failures and have struck out on their own, thereby giving rise to the ?alternative? space movement that may hold the key to the future of humans in space?with or without NASA."

George Kouri and Richard Hogue bring to life the world-changing teachings of Jesus in the Olivet Discourse. They dramatically demonstrate the fulfillment of prophesied cataclysmic events during the first century. The sign of the Son of man in heaven, the abomination of desolation, and the Great Tribulation shook the foundations of the disciple's lives and are still doing so today! The Sign of the Kingdom unlocks long-forgotten Biblical truths proving the present reign of Christ, the nature and function of His Messianic Kingdom, and His dealings with people and nations. If you are interested in the Bible prophecy, then The Sign of the Kingdom is a book you must read."

Namath: A Biography Kriegel, Mark - SIGNED BY AUTHOR
New York Penguin Books 2004 0143035355 First Edition/First Printing Soft Cover Near Fine 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall Signed by Author
Penguin Books, New York, 2004. 512 pages. 1st edition/1st printing. Signed by author on title page (flat signed). Book is in Near Fine condition. From the publisher: "Avoiding the pitfalls of mythology while telling a larger-than-life story is never easy, but Kriegel does it grandly in this landmark portrait of the 1960s icon. From the segregated South to the era of showbiz sports, Namath has a Forrest Gump-like way of being there. All the important athletic moments are here, elegantly told: his hardscrabble western Pennsylvania upbringing; his unlikely pairing with Bear Bryant; his arrival in New York as a hard-partying, money-making star and, of course, the win in SuperBowl III. Namath comes off both as throwback (he played through unbearable pain) and hypermodern (40 years ago, he was already getting paid to wear certain brands of clothing). But to write of the first media- age sports star is to tell not just of an athlete but the changing nature of celebrity and society in the ‘60s -- that is, the story of modern America -- and the author manages the elusive trick of illuminating setting as much as subject. He documents how sports became both big business and pop culture through savvy TV deals and the merchandising of stars. If Namath feels like a distant figure, more statue around whom society scrambled to adjust itself than active change seeker, that’s because Kriegel convinces us he was -- a figure both epic and accidental in a world revolving too fast for one person to control. Kreigel has written a remarkable book: a feel-good sports story still abundant with insight and social commentary."

From the rear board: "As impressive as Kuhn's large-scale outdoor works in public space are, they are often designed to reveal their aesthetic power when viewed from a distance and without the supplement of a specific sound environment. His artistic research into sound-and-light is most fully embodied in his installations in enclosed space, of which he has created a large number -- in a wide variety of architectural contexts -- since the 1980s. These projects are comprehensively documented for the first time in this volume." The CD contains sound compositions of dance- and theatre works as well as radio plays and installations from 1988 to 1999.

Eleven Karens: A Novel Lefcourt, Peter - FIRST PRINTING INSCRIBED BY AUTHOR
Riverside, New Jersey, U.S.A. Simon & Schuster 2003 0684870347 1st Printing Hard Copy Very Good Near Fine 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall Inscribed By Author
223 pages. Inscribed by author on title page as follows: "To Bill - Don't read it - sell it! Love, Pete". Book is in Very Good condition - has a hole in the last page, and on the 3 end pages which follow, of about 5/16" long x 1/8" wide, and a corresponding scrape on the rear end page; otherwise would be Near Fine. Dust jacket is in Near Fine conditon - has a 5/8" closed tear on the edge. From the author's web site: "Not since Flaubert’s L’Éducation Sentimentale has a book so poignantly described man’s helplessness in the face of woman. In this novel of sexual edification, the narrator (who may or may not be the author) recounts his experiences with eleven fascinating women -- all of whom happen to be named Karen. In an attempt to explain this statistical anomaly, Peter Lefcourt takes us on a journey that begins in the fifth grade, when he is the groom at his own shotgun wedding, and ends in his early middle years, when he has a very short but nonetheless searing assignation in a hotel room in Paris with a woman whom he bumps into in a museum backing away from one of Monet’s water lilies....Painstakingly researched, with eighty-eight footnotes to provide historical context and ironic counterpoint, Eleven Karens is a coming of age story and a fervent homage to women -- a beach-read Bildungsroman observed through the delightfully cracked lens of one the most unique comic voices writing today."

Skopas in Samothrace (The Katharine Asher Engel Lectures) Lehmann, Phyllis William
Northampton, MA, U.S.A. Smith College 1973 Soft Cover Very Good 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall
85 pages, consisting of 15 pages of text, about 19 pages of notes, and 52 illustrations. Book is in Very Good condition. From the text: "The Island of Samothrace, situated in the northernmost part of the windswept Aegean...was celebrated in antiquity for its mystery cult. To it came men and women, slaves and free men, to be initiated into noctural rites in honor of the Megaloi Theoi, the Great Gods of Samothrace - rites by means of which they believed that they would be protected, especially at sea, that they would become more pious, and which seem to have held out to them the hope of immortality. The fame of the Sanctuary and its cult, the specific rites and content of which might not be revealed to the uninitiate, caused it to be one of the first major classical sites to be excavated in modern times, along with such legendary places as Olympia, Troy, and Mycenae."

Intellectual Tacking: Questions of Education in the Works of Isabelle De Charriere Letzter, Jacqueline
Amsterdam Rodopi B. V. 1998 9042002905 Soft Cover Very Good+ 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall
Rodopi B.V., Amsterdam, 1998. Faux Titre 145. Book is in Very Good+ condition - scratches on spine; very light wear; apparently unread - no creasing on spine. From the rear cover: "Isabelle de Charriere (Belle van Zuylen) has been known primarily as a novelist who experimented with narrative techniques to expresss her concern about the oppression of women in her society. Most scholarship has focused on only a small part of her work, her pre-revolutionary novels. This is one of the first synthetic studies of Charriere's entire oeuvre, and it turns its attention to Charriere's overlooked contribution as an intellectual in the eighteenth-century debate over education. In addition, Letzter analyzes the rhetorical and discursive strategies Charriere employed to insert herself in this debate; a debate from which she was excluded because she was a woman and she was not French. Letzter's model for this analysis is the rhetorical figure of tacking, a nautical term used by Charriere herself in order to describe her tactics for intellectual engagement within the gendered environment the gendered environment of revolutionary debate. Letzter demonstrates Charriere's contribution as an important intellectual of the Revolution and of the post-revolutionary period, whose significance resided in her ability to express her ambivalence toward the theories and ideologies that ceaselessly imposed themselves on women."
