Out of the Bottle Webb, Graham
UK The Webb Press, Ltd 2005 0954870905 Hard Copy Near Fine Very Good+ 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall Inscribed By Author
The Webb Press, Ltd, UK, 2005. "Updated in February 2005 and July 2005". Inscribed by author on bookplate on front free end page with "To Prescilla: With love [signed] Graham Webb/x" Book is in Near Fine condition. Dust jacket is in Very Good+ condition: slight rubbing on edges; light scratches on rear. From the publisher: "'Out Of The Bottle' tells the story of Graham Webb. A high school dropout at age fifteen, he grew up in London, in government subsidised housing, and overcame the challenges of congenital spina bifida to forge a name in the world of business and haircare. Graham is the figurehead of globally distributed, multi million dollar hair care company Graham Webb International. The company was sold to Wella in 2001, who themselves were purchased by Proctor and Gamble in 2003. This is the compelling account of Graham's personal and professional struggles and accomplishments that will resonate with all readers. An instinctive entrepreneur, the teenage Graham ignored sixty-two job application rejections, and went on to build a successful career in the UK; and in the USA with his business partner Robert Taylor, the man behind the blockbuster successes of Softsoap; and the Obsession and Eternity fragrances. After being appointed chairman of the Institute of Directors (Kent) and serving on councils of the Confederation of British Industry, Graham was asked by patron HRH Prince Andrew, and Lord Kingsdown, to be honorary chairman of the NSPCC Kent 'Full Stop Campaign' (the National Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Children). Graham rose above the medical problems he kept secret, gained confidence, and despite doctors expectations, became a happily married father of four children after marrying his best friend Mandy - his wife of thirty three years. With tales of his unpredictable encounters with scores of famous and influential musicians, Graham describes how he balanced drumming professionally in rock'n'roll bands with building his own global business from scratch. The motivational story 'Out Of The Bottle' is embroidered with entrepreneurial insights, humorous anecdotes and startling coincidences."

War Crimes and Laws of War Wells, Donald A. - SIGNED BY AUTHOR
Lanham, MD, U.S.A. University Press of America 1984 081913841x Hard Copy Near Fine No Jacket as Issued 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall Signed by Author
University Press of America, Lanham, MD, 1984. This is the scarce original publication. Signed by author on front flyleaf as follows: "Donald A. Wells War is our last inalienable inhumane right." Book is in Near Fine condition - very light general wear; bumped corners. From the Preface: "The ability to identify the crimes of war, crimes against humanity, and the crimes against the peace depends upon the existence of rules or laws of war. Nuremberg found these rules in congresses like those at Geneva and the Hague, and in the Paris Pact of 1928. Were these really rules of war? Nations could evade them by the simple strategy of refusing to sign, and even signator nations were excused from their prior commitments in any war with non-signators. The reasons for the general failure of all congressional prohibitions lie in three military doctrines: military necessity, the right of reprisal, and the obligation of solidiers to obey superior orders. These doctirnes were to support the basic premise that sovereign nations had the right to wage war in their national self interest. There has been an historic dilemma. On the one hand, nations did not want to lose their sovereignty, yet, on the other hand they did not wish to appear as brutes. There must be some acts of war which are utterly forbidden. The contrast between what the congresses prohibit and the military manuals allow sets the as yet unresolved conflicts."

Dust jacket is in Very Good condition: chip at the bottom of the fold at the front flap; light rubbing; not price-clipped; sticker on front saying "autographed copy". From the dust jacket: "This swift and sensual novel of passion and politics transports us to British Palestine, where the Arabs, the British, and the Jews mingle in a scene of colonial excess and unease. It is 1924, and Mark Bloomberg, a disillusioned London painter, arrives in Jerusalem to take up a propaganda commission. When he and his American wife, Joyce, accidentally witness the murder of a prominent Orthodox Jew near their cottage, they become embroiled in an investigation that will test their marriage and their characters. Joyce, an ardent Zionist, is pulled into an affair with Robert Kirsch, the British policeman investigating the case, while Bloomberg, transfixed by the desert light, attempts to capture on canvas the complex, shifting truths of the region. Like Kirsch, whose brother was killed in France in 1918, all of the characters here have come to Palestine to escape the grief of the First World War, and are forced to confront their principles and their hearts in the midst of a culture in the throes of painful emergence. Lushly detailed and compellingly cinematic, A Palestine Affair illuminates a lesser-known aspect of the history of the Middle East as it tells a powerful story in which love proves to be, ultimately, a force as strong as politics"

Arctic Tale Woolverton, Linda; Richards, Mose; Gore, Kristin; Fifield, Donnali
Washington, D.C., U.S.A. National Geographic Society 2007 142620065X Hard Copy New New 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall
National Geographic Society, Washington, D. C., 2007. New book; not a remainder. From the publisher: "Arctic Tale accompanies a new Paramount Vantage motion picture from the producers of March of the Penguins, the 2005 Academy Award winner and highest-grossing natural history film of all time. The film, narrated by Queen Latifah, follows the dual drama of Seela and Nanu, a walrus calf and polar bear cub, as they embark on their astonishing journey from infancy to maturity amidst the stark beauty of the Arctic landscape. Protected by mothers who will stop at nothing to ensure their safe passage to adulthood, both cubs romp in their cold playground as ever-present threats of starvation, predators, and a harsh homeland are overcome in an unrelenting life-and-death struggle to survive. Each year in the unforgiving, frozen wilderness the two giants of the North Pole -- the walrus and the polar bear -- begin the cycle anew, of birth and death; of love and life; and of self-sacrifice and great danger. Adapted and deeply expanded from a sweeping screenplay, Arctic Tale features 150 stunning, full-color National Geographic photographs and stirring text that tell the heartwarming tale of motherhood, community, the circle of life, and the rapidly changing environment that is home to these splendid animals. Both the book and film call awareness to the global warming crisis through emotional connection to the characters. A foreword by directors Adam Ravetch and Sarah Robertson and a special "Making the Film" chapter at the end of the book reveal amazing behind-the-scenes battles against cold, ice, and walrus mothers, and add insight and understanding to the riveting story."

The Shepherd of the Hills Wright, Harold Bell - SIGNED BY ACTORS
Branson, Missouri, U.S.A. Shepherd of the Hills Historical Society 1987 0970260903 Hard Copy Near Fine No Jacket 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall Signed by Actors
The Shepherd of the Hills Historical Society, Branson, Missouri, 1987. Inscribed on the front end page and front fly leaf by 17 actors who were part of The Shepherd of the Hills Outdoor Theatre in Branson, Missouri in 2003. Book is in Near Fine condition. From the publisher: "Originally published in 1907, 'The Shepherd of the Hills' is Harold Bell Wright's most famous work . . . . Wright spins a tale of universal truths across the years to the modern-day reader. His Eden in the Ozarks has a bountiful share of life's enchantments, but is not without its serpents. While Wright rejoices in the triumphs, grace, and dignity of his characters, he has not naively created a pastoral fantasyland where the pure at heart are spared life's struggles and pains. Refusing to yield to the oft-indulged temptation of painting for the reader the simple life of country innocents, Wright forthrightly shows the passions and the life-and-death struggles that go on even in the fairest of environments that man invades." Gift wrap and gift card available.The shepherd, an elderly, mysterious, learned man, escapes the buzzing restlessness of the city to live in the backwoods neighborhood of Mutton Hollow in the Ozark hills. There he encounters Jim Lane, Grant Matthews, Sammy, Young Matt, and other residents of the village, and gradually learns to find a peace about the losses he has borne and has yet to bear. Through the shepherd and those around him, Wright assembles here a gentle and utterly masterful commentary on strength and weakness, failure and success, tranquility and turmoil, and punishment and absolution. This tale of life in the Ozarks continues to draw thousands of devotees to outdoor performances in Branson, Missouri, where visitors can also see the cabin where the real Old Matt and Aunt Mollie lived." The book, originally published in 1907, was made into a movie of the same name in 1941 with a cast including John Wayne, Betty Field, Sammy Lane, Harry Carey, Beulah Bondi, Marjorie Main, and Ward Bond. Gift wrap and gift card available.

From oral history interviews conducted by Dana Marcotte Kilanowski. With commentary by Mac McKendry. Introduction by Walter Boyne. Afterword by Jeffrey Ethell. From the dust jacket: "October 14, 1997, marks the fiftieth anniversary of an event that heralded the birth of a new age in aviation: the day Chuck Yeager flew faster than the speed of sound. Flying the Bell X-1 rocket airplane, Yeager broke the sound barrier by reaching the airspeed of Mach 1.06. . . .More than 100 fascinating photographs, together with candid first-person narratives of the X-1 team members themselves, reveal the details of this momentous achievement. They show, for example, how the X-1, fully loaded with highly explosive liquid oxygen and nitrogren gas, was shackled into the bomb bay of the B-29 mother ship; how, with less than twelve inches between the X-1 and the runway, pilot Bob Cardenas would call upon all his precision piloting skills to carefully lift the B-29 off from the runway, carrying the X-1 aloft; the cramped cockpit into which Yeager is lowered for the X-1 drop; and the X-1 in flight -- not only the famous black-and-white photograph of the historic moment but a rare color version as well."

It does not pretend to be a scholarly contribution to Navajo history, but you might find it amusing since it concerns, in part, a period during which you were directly involved. (I did not write the picture captions, so the "Calvary troop" on page 34 does not represent my choice of words!)". The chapter titles are: Act I The People of Legend and Tradition; Act II The Dawn of Tribalism; Act III Revolution; Act IV. Out of Chaos - A New Order.
