Trade Paperback. Condition: Like New. 1st Ppbk Ed: Jan. 2000/ 1st Printing. 316 pp. Synopsis: Although forty years have passed since the official end of the civil war in Korea, the north and south sections of the country remain technically at war. In Korea and Its Futures, Roy Richard Grinker argues that the continued conflict between North and S outh Korea, and the prospects for peace on the Korean peninsula, must be understood within the broader social and cultural contexts in which Koreans live. Grinker suggests that a fundamental obstacle to peace on the peninsula is that South Korea has beco me a nation in which nearly all aspects of economic, political, and cultural identity are defined in opposition to North Korea. He further demonstrates that in spite of its status as a sacred goal for all Koreans, the idea of unification threatens the wo rld in which almost every South Korean has been born and raised. In chapters on defectors, divided families, student protests, and early education, Grinker reveals how South Korean conceptions of unification prevent either side from recognizing that a un ified Korea must also be a diverse Korea. In other words, Grinker points out, unification is largely perceived by South Koreans not as the integration of different identities but as the southern conquest and assimilation of the north-in short, as winning the war. Korea and Its Futures is a critical and illuminating look at a conflict that has refused to yield despite changes in a post-Cold War world. Flawless copy. Acme Art, Inc.

Hardcover. Condition: As New. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. As new condition charcoal black boards, red cloth spine, silver front cover decoration, and silver spine lettering contained in a fine condition non price-clipped color illustrated dust jacket. Includes List of Other Books By Christopher P. Baker; Preface; Epilogue and Acknowledgments. Illustrated with a section of color photographic plates. "Equally at home on the elegant avenidas of Havana and the washboard trails of the Cuban countryside, Christopher P. Baker's 1000cc BMW Paris-Dakar was as much a state of mind as a form of transportation. Gaudy and gargantuan, the lipstick-red motorcycle attracted attention, sparked conversation, and made new friends for Baker throughout his freewheeling 7,000-mile peregrination of modern Cuba. After three months astride his powerful moto, Baker brings back a vivid report that is a savory and surprising blend of romantic adventures, keen observation, and clear-eyed commentary. Introducing a remarkable cross section of Cubans from farmers and fishermen to cosmopolitan habaneros chafing under Castro's faltering rule, Baker captures the vivacious national spirit that has beguiled visitors for centuries. He explores the rich heritage of a lovely island gripped by poverty, political uncertainty, and painful transition, all the while charting his own gradual but profound change of heart about the Cuban Revolution. And, like a knight errant cruising a sultry paradise, Baker finds fair ladies wherever he goes: Daisy in Havana, Teresa in Nueva Gerona, and Sonia in Camaguey, to name just three, exude an earthy, seductive charm that embodies Cuba. Packed with insight, humor, and some surprisingly candid encounters, Mi Moto Fidel will take you on a trip you won't soon forget. It's an exuberant, often unexpected, always fascinating look at our nearby unknown neighbor and the irrepressibly friendly and resourceful people who call it home." - from the inner front jacket flap.

Hardcover. Condition: As New. Dust Jacket Condition: As New. 1st Edition. As new condition black boards with neon blue spine lettering contained in an as new condition non price-clipped color photographic dust jacket. Includes Author Dedication; Preliminary Page Quote by Sir Ernest Shackelton; Prologue; Acknowledgments; Index; Illustration Credits and A Note About the Authors. Illustrated with black-and-white photographs, two sections of color photographic plates, and a double-page illustrated frontispiece rendering of the International Space Station. Signed by Astronaut Scott Kelly with thick black Sharpie/marker at the lower section of the full title page. "I've learned that climbing into a rocket that may kill me is both a confrontation of mortality and an adventure that makes me feel more alive than anything else I've ever experienced in life. Ive learned that grass smells great and wind feels amazing and rain is a miracle. I've learned that following the news from space can make Earth seem like a swirl of chaos and conflict, and that seeing the environmental degradation caused by humans is heartbreaking. I've also learned that our planet is the most beautiful thing I've ever seen and that we're lucky to have it." -- from Endurance and the rear outer jacket. "A stunning memoir from the astronaut who spent a record-breaking year aboard the International Space Station -- a candid account of his remarkable voyage, the journeys that preceded it, and his colorful formative years. The veteran of four spaceflights and the American record holder for consecutive days spent in space, Scott Kelly has experienced things very few have. Now, he takes us inside a sphere utterly hostile to human life. He describes navigating the extreme challenge of long-term spaceflight, both life-threatening and mundane: the devastating effects on the body; the isolation from everyone he loves and the comforts of Earth; the catastrophic risks of colliding with space junk; and the still more hanunting threat of being unable to help should tragedy strike and home -- an agonizing situation Kelly faced when, on a previous mission, his twin brother's wife, Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, was shot while he still had two months in space. Kelly's humanity, compassion, humor, and determination resonate throughout, as he recalls his rough-and-tumble New Jersey childhood and the youthful inspiration that sparked his astounding career, and as he makes clear his belief that Mars will be the next, ultimately challenging, step in American spaceflight. A natural storyteller and modern-day hero, Kelly has a message of hope for the future that will inspire for generations to come. Here, in his personal story , we see the triumph of the human imagination, the strength of the human will, and the infinite wonder of the galaxy." -- from the inner front jacket flap. ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Scott Kelly is a former military fighter pilot and test pilot, an engineer, a retired astronaut, and a retired U.S. Navy captain. A veteran of four spaceflights, Kelly commanded the International Space Station (ISS) on three expeditions and was a member of the yearlong mission to the ISS. During the Year in SPace mission, he set records for the total accumulated number of days spent in space and for the single longest space mission by an American astronaut. He lives in Houston, Texas. -- from the rear inner jacket flap.
