Never before has there been a bilingual New Testament of such high quality in modern English and Spanish.

However, careful attention has been given to preserve the quality and richness of the Spanish language, while remaining faithful to the original language of the Scriptures. Due to its harmony in principles and purposes, this parallel edition of the English NIV and Spanish NVI is the best of its kind available. It is highly recommended for those seeking to learn Spanish or English, as well as those who already have a grasp of both languages and want to compare them in their reading of God's Word.

Sin embargo, se ha tenido sumo cuidado en mantener la calidad y la riqueza propias del castellano, asi como la fidelidad a los idiomas biblicos originales. Debido a su armonia en principios y proposito, esta edicion paralela de la NIV inglesa y la NVI castellana es la mejor que se ha publicao.

Adams, Noah Far AppalachiaL Following the New River North
New York Delacorte Press 2001 0385320108 First Edition; First Printing Hardcover Fine in Fine dust jacket
Promotional Literature laid into book. Excellent condition, with minimal shelf wear. Unused and unmarked book.; 8.6 x 5.8 x 0.9 inches; 238 pages; With his sharp eye and gentle wit, Noah Adams doesn't just tell stories, he lets them unfold--quietly, powerfully, and eloquently. Now the beloved host of NPR's All Things Considered and bestselling author of Piano Lessons takes us on a river journey through the heart of Appalachia--a journey shared by pioneers and preachers, white-water daredevils, bluegrass musicians, and an unforgettable cast of vivid historical characters. Noah Adams has Appalachia in his blood. A native of eastern Kentucky, he comes to the headwaters of the New River not just in search of adventure but to better understand his own unique heritage. Following the New River from its mile-high source on North Carolina's Snake Mountain to its West Virginia mouth, Adams travels by Jeep and by bicycle, by foot and, most thrillingly, by white-water raft to explore the history, natural beauty, and fascinating characters waiting around every bend and turn. Distilling history from legend, Adams tells of men and women whose lives crossed the New River before him: Daniel Boone, fleeing his farming family in search of wilderness; Cherokee Indians driven west on their Trail of Tears; and the ill-fated men who traveled thousands of miles to work on the Hawk's Nest Tunnel, making a fortune for a company while their lungs filled with deadly silica dust. And along the way Adams follows the echoes of his own distant heritage, interweaving his river journey through Appalachia with yet another voyage, thousands of miles away. With eloquence and compassion, Noah Adams paints a luminous portrait of a land and a people as richly vital and complex as America itself. At the same time, his quietly personal chronicle captures the sheer magic of the flowing waters: their sound, their eddies, their utter unpredictability. A vibrant and unforgettable read, Far Appalachia mesmerizes and haunts like the bluegrass music that still rings through the mountains and valleys in which it was born.

Cloth boards. The book is in very good condition, with minimal shelf wear, there is a slight discoloration on the bottom of the pages toward the foredge. The dust jacket has a small hole in the front of the cover, slight rubbing and some wear on the corners. ; 1.43 x 11.35 x 9.39; 452 pages; The New York Times Book Review, John Russell If there were a first prize ... For beauty of statement and probity of elucidation, this catalogue would run away with it. Published on the occasion of the exhibition "From Van Eyck to Bruegel," this book presents an overview of one of the great epochs of Western art as seen through the extensive collection of the Metropolitan Museum. The period covered, sometimes referred to as the northern Renaissance, encompasses a century and a quarter of unparalleled artistic innovation and achievement realized in the geographic area of modern Belgium and the Netherlands. It opens about 1425 with the legendary inventor of oil painting, Jan van Eyck, and concludes with one of the most original geniuses of European art, Pieter Bruegel the Elder. Virtually every major master active during this era is represented, including Van Eyck, Robert Campin, Roger van der Weyden, Petrus Christus, Dieric Bouts, Hugo van der Goes, Hans Memling, Gerard David, Joos van Cleve, Quentin Massys, Jan Gossart, Bernard van Orley, Joachim Patinir and Bruegel. The volume is arranged thematically to emphasize the ways artists employed realism as a strategy. Introductory essays illuminate aspects of early Netherlandish painting: the history of its critical fortunes and scholarship; its acquisition by fifteenth- and sixteenth-century patrons; its relationship to Italian Renaissance painting; and the building of the Museum's collection in this area.

Akuppa Touching the Earth A Buddhist Guide To Saving The Planet

Excellent condition, with minimal shelf wear. Unused/Unread/Unmarked Book.; Trade PB; 8.2 x 5.0 x 0.3 inches; 112 pages; How much evidence do you need before you decide that it's time to act? Faced with the environmental crises we see many people carrying on as usual. If we look to those in government, we may see indecision or complacency. So what do we do? Do we follow the herd or do we look to our own sense of what is rational and compassionate? This vast problem can leave us feeling overwhelmed, despairing, or alienated. But buried in these thoughts is the very thing that can help us act. Our despair shows that we have concern for other people, animals, or the beauty of nature. This is not just another call to recycle, a litany of destruction, or a bland spiritual homily. Environmentalist, and Buddhist teacher Akuppa urges us to see beyond our selfish concerns and wake up to the fragile beauty of the world. This capacity to look beyond ourselves is a seed of heroism. Cultivating this seed, in a thousand ordinary ways, we will find that real change is possible after all.

Alderman, John SONIC BOOM
Cambridge, MA Perseus Publ 08/2001 0738204056 First Edition; First Printing Hardcover Very Good+ in Very Good dust jacket
Very good, with minimal shelf wear. Remainder Mark/Black slash across bottom pages. ; Remainder; 0.80 x 9.39 x 6.26; 205 pages; The first book to tell the captivating inside story of the MP3 revolution as the record labels, musicians, Internet entrepreneurs, and fans battle for control over the future of music. Digital compression technologies such as MP3 and Napster are having an explosive impact on the way music is distributed. Every day, hundreds of thousands of music files are searched for, shared, recorded, and listened to by computer and Web users-all free of charge. It's a boon for consumers and a disaster for record companies, and the end result can be nothing less than a cultural and economic transformation. Sonic Boom is a fascinating narrative of the controversy that's sending shock waves through the music industry. It's the story of musicians such as the Beastie Boys and Public Enemy, who are reaching fans without record company support; entrepreneurs who are distributing MP3 files without licensing agreements; and record-industry executives who are fighting for their business at every turn. It reveals how, even as the star-maker machinery of record companies remains in the hands of the old guard, innovators are finding ways to outsmart it. Peopled with a sensational cast of characters that includes rock stars, music moguls, teenagers, and Internet entrepreneurs, Sonic Boom exposes the recording industry's plight as a fascinating microcosm of the vast cultural, ethical, and legal issues that all industries face in the information age.

Alley, Richard B. The Two-Mile Time Machine: Ice Cores, Abrupt Climate Chage, and Our Future
Princeton, N. J. Princeton University Press 2000 0691004935 First Edition; First Printing Hardcover Very Good in Very Good dust jacket
Ex-Library book, with library stamp on title page and shelf label on dust jacket spine. "Discarded" stamped and numbers/dates written in ink on free rear-end page. Mylar covered dust jacket. Otherwise, pages clean and unmarked. Very good condition, with minimal shelf wear. ; Ex-Library; B&W Illustrations; 9.5 x 6.4 x 0.8 inches ; 229 pages; Richard Alley, one of the world's leading climate researchers, tells the fascinating history of global climate changes as revealed by reading the annual rings of ice from cores drilled in Greenland. In the 1990s he and his colleagues made headlines with the discovery that the last ice age came to an abrupt end over a period of only three years. Here Alley offers the first popular account of the wildly fluctuating climate that characterized most of prehistory--long deep freezes alternating briefly with mild conditions--and explains that we humans have experienced an unusually temperate climate. But, he warns, our comfortable environment could come to an end in a matter of years. The Two-Mile Time Machine begins with the story behind the extensive research in Greenland in the early 1990s, when scientists were beginning to discover ancient ice as an archive of critical information about the climate. Drilling down two miles into the ice, they found atmospheric chemicals and dust that enabled them to construct a record of such phenomena as wind patterns and precipitation over the past 110, 000 years. The record suggests that "switches" as well as "dials" control the earth's climate, affecting, for example, hot ocean currents that today enable roses to grow in Europe farther north than polar bears grow in Canada. Throughout most of history, these currents switched on and off repeatedly (due partly to collapsing ice sheets) , throwing much of the world from hot to icy and back again in as little as a few years. Alley explains the discovery process in terms the general reader can understand, while laying out the issues that require further study: What are the mechanisms that turn these dials and flip these switches? Is the earth due for another drastic change, one that will reconfigure coastlines or send certain regions into severe drought? Will global warming combine with natural variations in Earth's orbit to flip the North Atlantic switch again? Predicting the long-term climate is one of the greatest challenges facing scientists in the twenty-first century, and Alley tells us what we need to know in order to understand and perhaps overcome climate changes in the future.

Allison, Dorothy Cavedweller

Overall the book is in very good condition, however there are a couple of small marks on the book cover and then some bumps and rubbings on the cover. ; 1.38 x 9.52 x 6.35; 434 pages; When Delia Byrd packs her car and begins the long trip home from Los Angeles-from the glamour of the rock 'n roll business, her passion for singing and songwriting, and the darker days of whisky and violence and too much belief in the promises of a man she loved-she heads to Cairo, Georgia, and her own unresolved past. Ten years earlier, Delia left the husband who turned on her, abandoned her two daughters, one an infant, and fled to California. But Delia is pulled back to Georgia: to a world of convenience stores and biscuit factories, kudzu and deep-rooted Baptism-to make a deal with the man she paid a high price to leave. She brings her third daughter, Cissy, with her. And as the lives of Delia, Cissy, Amanda, and Dede converge, Delia's past uncoils into the present with a ferocity that brings all four women to terms with themselves and with one another. Told in the incantatory and unforgettable voice of one of America's greatest storytellers, Cavedweller is a sweeping novel of the human spirit that maps a world of "lost" and "known" caves, the unexplored recesses of the heart, and the lives of four women at a place where violence, and what redeems it, intersect.

Ancona, George Harvest
New York Marshall Cavendish Corp/Ccb 2001 0761450866 First Edition; First Printing Hardcover Very Good in Very Good- dust jacket
Some shelf wear (dulling and slight wear on edges) of the dust jacket, but the pages are tight and clean. ; 0.41 x 8.42 x 10.22; 48 pages; Grades 4-6--This photo-documentary focuses on the lives and work of Mexican migrant workers as they pick various crops on the West coast. Unfortunately, the impact of the text is weakened by its presentation. The narrative switches back and forth from the personal stories of the campesinos to information on the actual harvesting, at times abruptly. Readers learn of the workers' difficult lives and how, despite backbreaking labor and poor conditions, they take pride in what they do and struggle to help their families get ahead. Interspersed are first-person accounts by the workers. There is also a spread on organic farming and another on small local growers. The volume concludes with two pages on the life and work of Ceasar Chevez. The full-color photographs are generally of high quality; some will make a lasting impression on readers. Some are too small to have full effect. With few titles for children on migrant workers and the harvesting they do, this one would be a good addition where there is a need. Grades 4-7

Anderson, Catherine Corley John F. Kennedy: Young People's President
Minneapolis, MN Lerner Publications Company 1991 0822549042 First Edition; First Printing Hardcover Very Good+ in Very Good+ dust jacket
Ex-Library copy with check out cardholder affixed to free rear-end page of book and attendant stamps. Library shelf tag affixed to book and dust jacket with tape. Mylar covered dustjacket. Bottom book corners bumped; otherwise, book is in very good condition. ; Ex-Library; B&W Photographs; John F. Kennedy (Biograph; 144 pages; Reading Level: Ages 9-12, Grade 5-7-- The excitement and glamour surrounding Kennedy's presidency are evoked in this book. Although it begins, in the current style for biographies, with an incident from his later life, the chapters are arranged chronologically, cover broad periods of his life, and are aptly titled. Anderson, who obviously admires her subject, usually refers to him as "Jack" throughout the book. While she mentions that some critics have said his term lacked greatness, she does not attempt to assess his current standing with historians. She acknowledges help from several people who had personal contact with Kennedy, and provides a lengthy bibliography. Feelings and thoughts are occasionally mentioned, but the book is generally free from fictionalization. It is written in a clear and readable style, with helpful explanations of terms children might not understand. While several of the photographs are a bit blurry or distant, a useful map accompanies the section about Kennedy's PT-109 experiences. Quotations from some of his more famous speeches are included, and an epilogue offers a few of the many tributes paid after his death. A short appendix describes the aftermath of the assassination and the Warren Report. This is a more complete account of Kennedy's life and work than Barry Denenberg's John Fitzgerald Kennedy (Scholastic, 1988) , although Denenberg's book gives more description of Kennedy's family and personal life. While obviously useful for school reports, both the subject and writing style should make Anderson's work of general interest as well.

Anderson, Jonathan and Low, Edwin Athletes
Santa Fe, N. M. Twin Palms Publishers 2002 1931885001 First Edition Hardcover Fine in Near Fine dust jacket
Excellent condition, with minimal shelf wear. Unused/Unread/Unmarked Book.; B&W Photographs; 12.5 x 10.1 x 0.7 inches; 107 pages; From the book: Although many of the athletes in this book are champions, these images are not about winning. None of the photographs were taken during competition, and other athletes featured will never achieve national or international recognition. Yet, Life behind the scenes the focus of this work remains the same for them and for the champions. We hope that we have managed to portray some of the tribulations and triumphs that we found in competitors of all nationalities, ages and skill levels. These images originate from a variety of related projects. In 1998 the National Art Gallery of Malaysia invited us to stage a new photographic art exhibition for the Commonwealth Games Cultural Festival in Kuala Lumpur. With an entirely open brief, it seemed appropriate to focus upon the reason for the festival, namely the sports themselves. We therefore began photographing athletes from many countries and sports institutions, visiting facilities from the most basic to the state of the art. Twin Palms Publishers produces fine art and photography books. High quality papers and award-winning design assure the long lasting value of each volume. This first edition of Athletes is limited to 3,000 copies.

Anderson, T. M. Our Holy Faith
Kansas City, MO Beacon Hill 1965 Second Printing Hardcover Very Good+ in Very Good- dust jacket
Tight binding. Prev owners name on inside cover. Shelf wear on cover. ; Our Holy Faith is the outcome of an assignment given to Dr. T. M. Anderson to prepare a book which would serve as the text for a basic college course in Christian theology. Although it was to be somewhat broad in its coverage, special emphasis was to be placed on the doctrine of entire sanctification. Dr. Anderson began by mining scores of books, both old and new, which were related to the general theme. From these he selected secions which fitted into the outline which he had prepared. He filled in the gaps with writings of his own and capped it off with a helpful appendix. The result is a book which is not so much a systematic presentation of theology as it is a rich source book of historic and contemporary thought concerning the basic positions of the Wesleyan-Arminian school.

Dust Jacket in mylar cover. ; B&W Photographs; 1.49 x 10.65 x 8.22; 954 pages; The third volume of this three-volume work, for the first time, presents the broadest range of shakespeare studies in one accessible set. As a valuable learning and research tool for students, teachers, general readers, and shakespeare scholars alike, the collection is distinguished for both its readability and detail and for the new thinking it encourages about the man, his world, his work, and his influence. Vol. III - HIS INFLUENCE, surveys the effect that Shakespeare has had on theatrical production, playwriting, literature, education and popular culture from elizabethan times to the present. The discussions are varied in approach -- some are technical in nature, others have a historical emphasis, and still others represent evaluations of Shakespeare and his influence on our lives today. Overall, these essays show why the playwright's work has endured through the centuries and what its impact has been on educational, political and social institutions.

His discipline and hard work were soon rewarded: He won the Junior National Freestyle Championship and went on to become the Wrestler of the Year at Clarion College. In 1996, with many prestigious wrestling honors to his credit, Angle set his sights on a new goal: an Olympic gold medal. Months of grueling training paid off in the most spectacular way when Angle returned from Atlanta with a gold medal around his neck and renewed determination in his heart. He was just getting started. Angle soon joined the ranks of the World Wrestling Federation and quickly became a main event performer, taunting the crowds with his trademark "three I's": Integrity, Intelligence, and Intensity. These are all qualities that he really possesses, but his character does not always display them in the ring. Through his high-profile matches with some of the biggest names in the business, Angle is now one of the most infamous "heels" in the World Wrestling Federation -- and he loves every minute of it. He has won -- and lost -- the Intercontinental belt and the World title, and he continues to rile crowds and accelerate heart rates every time he steps into the ring. Kurt Angle is living proof that with hard work and determination anyone can fulfill their dreams.

Ashe, Geoffrey Discovery Of King Arthur
Garden City, N. Y. Anchor Press 1985 0385190328 First Edition (?) Hardcover Very Good+ in Very Good- dust jacket
The dust jacket has several small tears (the longest approx. 1/2") , also the back jacket cover is drawn/wrinkled. The book has a "ghost" price on the front-end page. ; ; 226 pages; Ashe is not the first historian to conclude that a real British ruler lurks behind the fantastic extravagances of Arthurian legend, but he is the first to locate a plausible and historically recorded candidate for the honor. He makes a good case for his man, and his account of tracking the fellow down is as intriguing as a detective story. "-The Atlantic " Geoffrey Ashe, the author of A Guidebook to Arthurian Britain, Avalonian Quest, and The Quest for Arthur's Britain, is a historian and chairman of Debrett's Arthurian committee. Myths, legends, and literary mysteries mix with maps, relics, and historical facts in The Discovery of King Arthur. Scholars, students, and general readers of all ages have wondered-for centuries-about whether Britain was ever really ruled by an Arthur who held court at a place called Camelot. In this book, the distinguished scholar Geoffrey Ashe offers convincing proof that King Arthur not only existed, but was more like the Arthur of legend than historians have previously suspected. In this exciting study, drawing upon myriad sources both literary and historical, Ashe traces the legend of King Arthur to its roots in the twelfth-century chronicles of Geoffrey of Monmouth. He then illustrates that a great deal of Geoffrey's history, which set out ot depict events and persons of fifth-century Britain, was based on fact. After challenging previous assumptions about where Arthur's court and other remnants can be found, Ashe identifies the real King Arthur and provides powerful evidence to support his theory. Riothamus, an actual fifth-century British monarch, is the figure whom Ashe painstakingly identifies. But his study also investigates the histories behind other Arthurian phenomena, such as the key concepts of knighthood and chivalry. Throughout the book, the swep and grandeur of a tumultuous era in British and European history is vividly recounted as Ashe describes the origins and development of the Arthurian legend-a legend that seems to grow ever more enchanting and spellbinding.

Ashton, John; Whyte, Tom The Quest for Paradise: Visions of Heaven and Eternity in the World's Myths and Religions
San Francisco Harpersanfrancisco 2001 006251735X First Edition; First Printing Hardcover Fine in Fine dust jacket
Unused/Unread/Unmarked Book. Excellent condition, with minimal shelf wear. ; Color Illustrations; 11.9 x 9.1 x 0.8 inches; 160 pages; In every culture, in every epoch, human beings have yearned for heaven -- the dwelling place of the gods, mirror of our hopes and desires. Now, in The Quest for Paradise, renowned scholar John Ashton and his colleague Tom Whyte offer an intriguing look at how we have thought of and envisioned heaven and the afterlife, from the ancient cultures of Egypt, Greece, and Rome, to the Christians, Jews, Buddhists, Hindus, and Muslims, as well as the indigenous peoples of the Americas, Australia, and Africa. Lavishly illustrated with extensive depictions of heaven in art from around the world, and drawing on scriptures, myths, epics, poems, novels, philosophy, and other writings from many cultures, The Quest for Paradise illuminates the vast spectrum of beliefs about the world beyond. The book also explores the concept of utopia, or paradise on earth, from the perspective of such diverse thinkers as H. G. Wells, D. H. Lawrence, Margaret Mead, and Aldous Huxley. Ashton and Whyte present a fascinating array of ancient and modern views of heaven. Included are extraordinary inhabitants and geographical features, representing scenes from works such as The Odyssey, the Bible, the Quran, and the Sukhavativyuha Sutras, and from the works of writers such as Hesiod, Ovid, Virgil, Dante, Milton, and Yeats, highlighting both the diversity and the universality of reflection on heaven.

Aubrac, Lucie Outwitting the Gestapo
Lincoln, NE University of Nebraska Press 1994 0803259239 First American Edition; First Printing Paperback Near Fine with no dust jacket
Edge wear to book covers; otherwise, in excellent condition, with minimal shelf wear. Pages clean and unmarked. Tight Binding.; Trade PB; B&W Photographs; 8.5 x 5.3 x 0.6 inches ; 235 pages; A suspenseful rendering of Aubrac's experiences as a French Resistance fighter during WW II. This memoir owes its existence to the 1983 extradition to France of Klaus Barbie, the ``Butcher of Lyon'': In order to refute Barbie's defenders and former collaborators, Aubrac told her story publicly for the first time- -and it became a bestseller in France. Focusing on a nine-month period that begins with the conception of her second child, Aubrac looks back 40 years at experiences of enduring intensity. During the war, the author, her Jewish husband Raymond, and other ``resistants'' published and distributed underground newspapers, found new identities and homes for fugitives, forged permits, stole guns, and blew up roads and bridges--all routine Resistance activities. What makes this account special, however, is Aubrac's irrepressible energy and resourcefulness, and the graceful way in which she interweaves her separate but parallel lives. As a mother and wife struggling in a wartime economy, she bartered for hard-to-find items; as a devoted schoolteacher, she applied the lessons of history to current events; as a secret member of the Resistance, she couldn't disclose her true identity even to her most trusted colleagues, switching names and identities like a quick-change artist. Three times, she helped free her husband from prison. The last incarceration was the most harrowing: Walking into a trap, Raymond was arrested, tortured, and sentenced to die by Barbie himself. Despite her anguish, Aubrac tricked her husband's captors into meetings and masterminded an intricate rescue. The Aubracs' escape by airlift to London, where their baby was born, is tremendously exciting. A breathtaking account that feeds the soul as much as it satisfies the appetite for vicarious danger. (Seven b&w photographs)

Bachelder, Chris Bear V. Shark
New York, NY Scribner 2001 0743219465 First Edition; First Printing Hardcover Very Good+ in Very Good+ dust jacket
Remainder Mark/Black slash across bottom pages; otherwise, in excellent condition, with minimal shelf wear. Unused/Unread Book.; Remainder; 8.7 x 5.8 x 0.9 inches; 251 pages; So it's kind of like a parlor game, then? ...The question is apparently of Ancient Eastern extraction....It seems to be a gut thing. The answer just feels right and then you come up with reasons....Given a relatively level playing field -- i. E. , water deep enough so that a Shark could maneuver proficiently, but shallow enough so that a Bear could stand and operate with its characteristic dexterity -- who would win in a fight between a Bear and a Shark? In this brilliant satire of our media-saturated culture, the sovereign nation of Las Vegas -- the entertainment capital of the world -- is host to Bear v. Shark II. After a disappointing loss in the first matchup between the land and the sea, the bear is back with a vengeance and out for blood. All of America is obsessed with the upcoming spectacle, so tickets are hard to come by. With an essay entitled "Bear v. Shark: A Reason to Live, " young Curtis Norman wins a national writing contest and four tickets to the event. The Normans load up their SUV and embark on a road trip to Vegas. As they head cross-country, the family is besieged by a dizzying barrage of voices: television and radio personalities, public service announcements, bear and shark pundits, Freudians, theologians, and self-published authors, in addition to the Bear v. Shark fanatics, cultists, and resisters they meet at roadside gas stations and restaurants. Overwhelmed by factoids, statistics, and ten-second debates, the Normans -- along with the rest of country -- can't seem to get their facts straight, much less figure out a way to actually communicate with one another. Sound bites and verbal tics predominate; misheard, misunderstood, and just plain mistaken information is absorbed, mangled, and regurgitated to hilarious effect; and the most inane subjects -- from the disappearance of Dutch culture to the Shakespearean bias toward the bear -- are vigorously and obsessively debated. These meaningless exchanges of misinformation leave Mr. Norman disenchanted, world-weary, and ambivalent about the impending show, but the family eventually makes it to Vegas for an apocalyptic and suprisingly emotional ending. Written in quick, commercial-like segments that mirror the media it satirizes, Chris Bachelder's debut is a fiercely funny, razor-sharp novel about the odd intersection of zealotry and trivia, about the barriers to human connection in a society that values entertainment above all else. Through a clever act of novelistic subterfuge, Bachelder makes us laugh at our penchant for absurd and useless information while drawing us into a dazzling spectacle of his own imagination.

Bachrach, Judy TINA AND HARRY COME TO AMERICA
New York Free Press c2001 0684837633 First Printing Hardcover Near Fine in Very Good+ dust jacket
Very good, with minimal shelf wear. Remainder Mark/Black slash across bottom pages. Pages clean, white and crisp. ; Remainder; 1.19 x 9.58 x 6.42; 384 pages; In a story that will reverberate throughout the media world, Judy Bachrach traces the course of two careers and one romance -- all driven by soaring ambition. With the right amount of energy, money, and desire, Tina Brown and Harry Evans knew how to handle virtually everything that came their way. Once they arrived from England, they felt destined to climb to the heights of the American media. The couple epitomized within elite corporate as well as social circles what might be called parvenu royalty, which covered both of them with the dazzling glaze of power, position, and fame. Underneath, of course, they were quite different: nature's Americans, one might say, hungry, passionate, forever reinventing themselves. Tina put her stamp on Vanity Fair, The New Yorker, and Talk magazine. Harry ran Random House. Over the years, they artfully crafted and recrafted the faces they showed the world, confident they were a match for anybody...especially for each other. They were constantly in the public eye, throwing parties, accepting the adulation of their peers -- all the time making sure that no one really knew anything about them. But what happens to the perfect married couple -- wealthy, attractive, running twin empires, the darlings of the media, the envy of their bitter rivals -- when their world starts to fall apart and the enchantment fades? This rich, fast-paced story of Tina Brown and Harry Evans is not only a brilliant account of two media stars, but also a tale of how this British couple molded and shaped every aspect of the American publishing world -- until it inevitably turned on them. Written with laser-sharp wit and a perceptive eye for revealing detail, Tina and Harry Come to America reads like a bestselling novel and is, at times, uncanny in its resemblance to William Thackeray's Vanity Fair -- a riveting, cautionary tale of power and the media.

Bannister, Jo A TASTE FOR BURNING
New York, NY St. Martin's Press 1995 0312131917 First American Edition; First Printing Hardcover Very Good+ in Very Good- dust jacket
Very good, with minimal shelf wear. Unused/Unread/Unmarked Book. ; 0.75 x 9.00 x 6.00; 251 pages; Bannister's (The Matrix) tightly knit British procedural dealing with racism and other issues of morality accelerates gradually in tempo and intensity. Detective Chief Inspector Frank Shapiro is admired and emulated by his sergeant, Cal Donovan, and highly regarded by Assistant Inspector Liz Graham. Their loyalty is tested, however, when Shapiro is put on leave for possibly having withheld evidence in a high-profile case eight years earlier. Donovan and Graham are deeply absorbed in a case of fatal arson in the Asian community in their town of Castlemere, but on their own time, and without telling their stuffy, by-the-books superintendent, they cautiously work to clear Shapiro's name. Weaving through their steady efforts is a cast of difficult family members and self-righteous con men. The ultimate question-on which side of the law is the evildoer? -is answered in a conclusion that, while somewhat drawn-out and melodramatic, features an interesting twist. Inspector Liz Graham and Sergeant Cal Donovan of Castlemere, England, find themselves investigating their own chief in a deadly arson case that may involve the chief's own son. By the author of Charisma.

Barks, Coleman The Soul of Rumi
San Francisco Harper Sanfrancisco 2002 0060604530 Fourth Printing Hardcover Very Good+ in Very Good+ dust jacket
Excellent condition, with minimal shelf wear. Remainder Mark/Black slash across bottom pages. ; Remainder; 1.43 x 9.92 x 6.37; 425 pages; Inside A Lover's Heart; There's Another World; And Yet Another - Rumi's masterpieces have inspired countless people throughout the centuries, and Coleman Barks's exquisite renderings of the thirteenth-century Persian mystic are widely considered the definitive versions for our time. Barks's translations capture the inward exploration and intensity that characterize Rumi's poetry, making this unique voice of mysticism and desire contemporary while remaining true to the original poems. In this volume readers will encounter the essence of Sufism's insights into the experience of divine love, wisdom, and the nature of both humanity and God. While Barks's stamp on this collection is clear, it is Rumi's voice that leaps off these pages with a rapturous power that leaves readers breathless. These poems express our deepest yearning for the transcendent connection with the source of the divine: there are passionate outbursts about the torment of longing for the beloved and the sweet delight that comes from union; stories of sexual adventures and of loss; poems of love and fury, sadness and joy; and quiet truths about the beauty and variety of human emotion. For Rumi, soul and body and emotion are not separate but are rather part of the great mystery of mortal life, a riddle whose solution is love. Above all else, Rumi's poetry exposes us to the delight that comes from being fully alive, urging us always to put aside our fears and take the risk of discovering our core self: No one knows what makes the soul wake up so happy! Maybe a dawn breeze has blown the veil from the face of God. These fresh, original translations magnificently convey Rumi's insights into the human heart and its longings with his signature passion and daring, focusing on the ecstatic experience of the inseparability of human and divine love. The match between Rumi's sublime poetry and Coleman Barks's poetic art are unequaled, and here this artistic union is raised to new heights.

His insightful narratives weave together a tapestry of time, place, atmosphere and emotions...Barron's gift is a journey through time and a reminder that we are all connected. -- Backpacker Magazine-1993. Barron chronicles the joys, trials, and personal inspiration of a glorious month [exploring Colorado's wilderness]. The many moods of these places, reflecting the unending motions of sun and moon and clouds, became our friends, even when they caused us to shake with cold or drip with perspiration. During our journey, we followed every major drainage in the Maroon Bells-Snowmass Wilderness, right to the source; we walked on trails that the Ute Indians knew a thousand years ago; we met thirty-hour storms-and boundless wildflowers. It was an experience that left me forever changed, forever deepened. It was a gift of the land.

Barrow, John D. The Book of Nothing: Vacuums, Voids, and the Latest Ideas about the Origins of the Universe
New York Pantheon 2000 0375420991 First American Edition; First Printing Hardcover Fine in Near Fine dust jacket
Promotional Literature laid into book. Some rubbing to edges of dust jacket; otherwise, in excellent condition with minimal shelf wear. Unused/Unread/Unmarked Book.; B&W Illustrations; 9.6 x 6.5 x 1.3 inches; 361 pages; From one of our foremost mathematicians and cosmologists comes this fascinating exploration of the surprisingly substantial and varied nature of nothing. With unassailable expertise and a proven ability to make complex theories and ideas clearly accessible, John Barrow examines and explains every aspect of nothingness. From the zeros of mathematicians to the void of philosophers, from Shakespeare to the null set, from the ether to the quantum vacuum, this book illustrates the fact that nothing is real. Barrow begins with the origins of zero in ancient India, its rocky reception in Europe, and the early abhorrence and eventual acceptance of the concept of the void by Christianity. He traces the notion through the work of writers and thinkers from the ancient Greeks to our own time. He looks at mathematics, cosmology, theology, and physics to uncover the nothing that is at the heart of most things. Finally, he discusses recent concepts of nothing, which are having profound effects on our search for the origins and overall structure of the universe. lluminating the many ways in which humankind has come to understand "nothing, " The Book of Nothing brilliantly belies its title.

Barry, James Everywhere Faces Everywhere: Poems
New York Simon & Schuster (Juv) 1997 0689809964 Reprint Hardcover Very Good- in Very Good+ dust jacket Illustrated by Ruffins, Reynold
Some rubbing of the dust jacket. ; Color Illustrations; 0.50 x 10.00 x 5.25; 80 pages; In spite of the adult sensibilities, the poems will have direct appeal for young people, particularly those experiencing culture shock, discrimination, and, perhaps, a confusing disdain for a childhood spent elsewhere mitigated by happy memories. Skillful economy of expression strengthens the poet's messages and the lilt of his Caribbean voice softens their realities. The book has been designed with a brilliantly colored cover emphasizing the African and island heritage that underlies Berry's view of his two worlds. This collection of 46 poems by a distinguished Jamaican writer who now lives in England is divided into five sections that draw from both the author's childhood in the Caribbean and his adult life and work in the United Kingdom. Nature is celebrated, cultural conflict is powerfully observed, diversity is welcomed and saluted, and love offers recurring opportunity for redemption. Often lyrical, sometimes topical, a few of the pieces are more polemic than poem.

Bartlett, Jeff; Fantle, David; Johnson, Thomas; Roberts, Benjamin; Wilde, Jason Dale Earnhardt Always a Champion A Tribute and Farewell to the Intimidator
Chicago Triumph Books 157243435X Hardcover Very Good+ in Very Good dust jacket
Excellent condition, with minimal shelf wear, there are some spots where the finish has been removed, probably with the removal of a label. Unused and unmarked book.Stated Limited Edition. ; 11.3 x 8.8 x 0.7 inches; 142 pages; The fast and furious sport of NASCAR racing has produced more than its share of heroes and champions, but few have ever achieved the legendary status of Dale Earnhardt. Known as "The Intimidator," Earnhardt made a name for himself as a fierce competitor, a man with ambition and passion who would never be satisfied being anything less than the best. His sudden and tragic death during the final lap of the Daytona 500 sent a shock wave through the racing community, leaving legions of NASCAR followers to mourn an unbelievable loss. Featuring full-color photos from the entire spectrum of Earnhardt's career, Dale Earnhardt: Always a Champion offers reactions from colleagues and fans on the lasting impression made by the respected NASCAR driving. It also presents a solemn perspective on the loved ones he left behind -- his family and his sport -- and their respective struggles to move on without him. First and foremost, however, Dale Earnhardt: Always a Champion is a tribute to the life of this extraordinary human being. When Dale Earnhardt first appeared on the NASCAR circuit in 1975, it was clear that he would be a driver to watch out for. He emerged victorious in race after race, eventually winning a record seven Winston Cup championships, and showing fans and rivals alike that the Man in Black was a force to be reckoned with. Dale Earnhardt: Always a Champion chronicles these and other notable events of the Intimidator's life, including his early attempts to find a place in the racing world, his 20-year battle to claim victory at the Daytona 500, and the unique relationship that he shared with his sons Kerry and Dale Jr. - the third generation of Earnhardts to find fame on the racetrack. Earnhardt himself was a man who inspired both loyal devotion and bitter hatred from NASCAR followers, earning his nickname for the aggressive, winner-take-all spirit of his driving. Love him or hate him, however, everybody agreed that he was worth watching, and worth respecting. Simply put, Dale Earnhardt is considered by many to be the greatest race car driver who has ever lived, and quite possibly the greatest who ever will. The sport itself has a permanent void where Earnhardt used to be, and it mirrors the one that has set itself in the hearts of those who thrilled to watch him. Few had the ability with a race car that Earnhardt had, and his talent on the track will be missed.
