Hardback. Condition: Good. Once upon a time there was a Nothing. In this Nothing there was NOTHING. There weren't dragons, witches, elves, astronauts, policemen, sharks, or little mice. So begins Gyula Gabor Toth's book of whimsical stories that whisks readers away to lands of paradox and play: to a place where anything can happen, one where everything exists all at once, and another where nothing exists at all. 'What else do you think wasn't in this Nothing?'Fantastical and full of wit, these short fable-like tales prompt children to reflect on the unfamiliar features of the seemingly familiar world around us. Norbert Nagy, one of the most prominent Hungarian graphic artists, sets dramatic moments from Toth's text against a surreal, often humorous illustrated landscape, creating a stunning visual world for this award-winning book. Nagy, Norbert (illustrator).…

Paperback. Condition: Good. GETING IT FOR LOVE IN OLD SAN JUAN is a personal journey of a twenty-year-old New York college student in the early '60s who, fearing a straight path through life, postpones his education to join the merchant marine for adventure and to prove himself in the real world. The story is alternately gripping and humorous, introspective and dramatic, as he relives his adventures and misadventures in the worst job in the merchant marine: wiper in the engine room of an old cargo ship converted to container service between New York, Florida and Puerto Rico. Encountering a mostly hostile crew, the young man gradually earns acceptance and respect by surviving the ordeals of the work, by his skill at poker, and through his sometimes comical sometimes dangerous interactions with the unusual and even threatening characters on the ship. He confronts both rational and irrational fears and engages in a star-crossed pursuit of women in his ports of call. In the course of the book, he describes his bizarre dealings with the union and the absurd catch-22 aimed at preventing him from getting a ship, as well as the conflicted state of his life before he gets one, and finally, the unimagined way his journey ends. …

Paperback. Condition: Good. This extraordinary collection of essays by some of America's top historians focuses on how African Americans resisted slavery and responded to freedom. Ira Berlin sets the stage by stressing the relationship between how we understand slavery and how we discuss race today. The remaining essays offer a richly textured examination of black struggles for freedom. John Hope Franklin and Loren Schweninger recount actual cases of runaway slaves, their motivations for escape and the strains this widespread phenomenon put on white slave-owners. Edward L. Ayers, William G. Thomas III, and Anne Sarah Rubin draw upon their remarkable Valley of the Shadow website to describe the wartime experiences of African Americans living on both borders of the Mason-Dixon line. And Eric Foner gives us a new look at how black leaders performed during the Reconstruction, revealing that they represented, for a time, the fulfillment of the American ideal that all people could aspire to political office. …

Paperback. Condition: Good. Lincoln scholar Gabor Boritt dispels a century of myths and legends to reveal the true meaning of the Gettysburg Address as Abraham Lincoln intended it in this "magisterial work [and] instant classic" (Doris Kearns Goodwin). The words Abraham Lincoln spoke at the dedication of the Soldiers' National Cemetery at Gettysburg comprise perhaps the most famous speech in history. Many books have been written about the Gettysburg Address and yet, as Lincoln scholar Gabor Boritt shows, there is much that we don't know about the speech. In The Gettysburg Gospel he tears away a century of myths, lies, and legends to give us a clear understanding of one of the greatest American's most important speeches. In the aftermath of the bloodiest battle ever fought in North America, the little town of Gettysburg was overwhelmed. This was where Lincoln had to come to explain why the horror of war must continue. Boritt shows how Lincoln responded to the politics of the time, as well as how and when he wrote the various versions of his remarks. Few people initially recognized the importance of the speech, but over the years it would grow into American scripture, acquiring new and broader meanings. Based on years of scholarship as well as a deep understanding of Lincoln and of Gettysburg itself, The Gettysburg Gospel is an indispensable book for anyone interested in the Gettysburg Address, Abraham Lincoln, the Civil War, or American history.…
