Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. 227 pp. Stated first edition! Solidly bound copy and dust jacket with moderate external wear, crisp pages and clean text. Library card holder glued to last page. Presumably, an ex-library-copy. Dust jacket suffers minor wear around edges, and in some… places. Sysnopsis: 'Where the Bluebird Sings to the Lemonade Springs' gathers together Wallace Stegner's most important and memorable writings on the American West: its landscapes, diverse history, and shifting identity; its beauty, fragility, and power. With subjects ranging from the writer's own "migrant childhood" to the need to protect what remains of the great western wilderness (which Stegner dubs "the geography of hope") to poignant profiles of western writers such as John Steinbeck and Norman Maclean, this collection is a riveting testament to the power of place. At the same time it communicates vividly the sensibility and range of this most gifted of American writers, historians, and environmentalists. Steve Snider (Jacket Design) (illustrator).

Includes List of Other Books Edited by Bill Adler and Introduction. "ON FAMILY : "I grew up observing how the love and com…mon sense of purpose that unites families is one of the most powerful glues on earth and that it can help them overcome the greatest of adversities." ON PRAYER: "You can't ask to win, but you can ask that He help you to do your best and, having done your best, you'll have no regrets no matter how it turns out, and you will be content with the outcome. Just may it be the best one." ON AMERICA: "I have always wondered at this American marvel, the great energy of the human soul that drives people to better themselves and improve the fortunes of their families and their communities. Indeed, I know of no greater force on earth." ON POLITICS: " There are two ways of doing things: the right way, and the way they do it in Washington." ON NANCY: If ever God gave me evidence that He had a plan for me, it was the night H e brought Nancy into my life." ON HIMSELF: "I wasn't a great communicator, but I communicated great things, and they didn't spring full blown from my brow, they came from the heart of a great nation - from our experience, our wisdom, and our belief in the principles that have guided us for two centuries. They called it the Reagan Revolution. Well, I'll accept that, but for me it always seemed more like the great rediscovery of our values and our common sense." - from the rear outer jacket. "Ronald Reagan is one of our most beloved Presidents. With boundless optimism and faith in the spirit of democracy, Reagan has always spoken directly to the heart of the AMerican people, with a special insight into the problems, wishes, and dreams of our time. Witty, candid, and full of hope for the future, Ronald Reagan was known as "The Great Communicator," a reputation confirmed in THe Uncommon Wisdom of Roanald Reagan, a remarkable collection of quotations that articulates his abiding convictions and unwavering commitment to American principles. These pages bring Ronald Reagan vividly to life in his own words, visiting the milestones of his career from his early days as an actor in radio, television, and films to his political years, first as governor of California and ultimately as President of the United States. Reagan also speaks openly about his pesonal life: his family, his childhood, his marriage, and his thoughts on what it meant to be a leader during a difficult age. This unique compilation is a stirring tribute to one of this century's most extraordinary personalities and the enduring humor, grace, and wisdom that have earned him a place of honor in the memory of America." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps. Snider, Steve (jacket design); Brack, Dennis (jacket photograph) (illustrator).

As new condition black boards with orange spine lettering contained in a fine condition non price-clipped color photographic dust jacket. Includes List of Other Book(s) by Shaquille O'Neal; Author Dedication and Acknowledgments. Illustrated with a section of… both black-and-white and color photographic plates. "It's rare to discover a candid sports autobiography - even rarer when the author is one of the most recognizable athletes in the world. But in Shaq Talks Back, Shaquille O'Neal for the first time talks frankly about his childhood, his life, his rivalries, and his career, culminating in a dramatic, behind-the-scenes account of the Los Angeles Lakers' drive to the NBA Championship. At seven feet one inch tall and 330 pounds, Shaq has always faced outsized expectations, even as a child when he towered over other kids. Shaq Talks Back is the story of how potential became reality - how someone expected to be a champion finally learned to become one. Beginning with his memory of crying on the court after the Lakers defeated the Indiana Pacers, Shaq takes us back to his younger days in Newark and Jersey City, New Jersey, then to Georgia and finally to Germany, where he began to harness some of his height and strength. From there, he recounts the remarkable progress of his basketball career, changing from a big but inexperienced teenager to a dominant college and professional player. Shaq talks about: * Playing at Louisiana State University for the unpredictable coach Dale Brown; * Signing the biggest rookie contract ever with the Olrando Magic - and going to the NBA Finals for the first time; * What happened next: dissention, disappointment, and his decision to leave for Los Angeles; * The dysfunctional Lakers who were never able to win the big games; * Dealing with egos as he finds the right chemistry with Kobe Bryant, Phil Jackson, and new additions to the team; * Rivalries with Alonzo Mourning, Patrick Ewing, Hakeem Olajuwon, David Robinson, and others; * The trouble with free throws. * "Bling-Bling" and women: the larger-than-life world of NBA players off the court; * Inside the Lakers' comeback from the brink against Portland and the drive to the NBA championship. Funny, insightful, opinionated, and unexpectedly moving, Shaq Talks Back is the true voice of the NBA's best player." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps.

"Withe generosity of spirit, ebullience, and sly humor, Mary Tyler Moore presents the intensely private, often funny, and sometimes startling story of her life with diabetes. Growing Up Again is a delightfully candid read for her legion of fans, the more than 20 million Americans with diabetes, and everyone struggling to cope with life's unexpected challenges. Mary Tyler Moore, actress and activist, relates the highs and lows of living with type 1 diabetes for the past forty years. With inspired, well-crafted prose, she drills down to the most heartfelt yet universal truths about life - including the lives of those with diabetes. She unflinchingly chronicles her struggle with diabetes, as well as her successful rehabilitation from alcohol dependence, all while deriving gratification from her roles as an actress, mother, businesswoman, campaigner, and fund-raiser. Her revealing tales of both her successes and failures in coping with diabetes offer others with the disease guidance and inspiration through example. In Growing Up Again, stories include her rebounding from a low-blood-sugar episode during a Mary Tyler Moore Show script reading after the director poured orange juice down her throat, to misadventures caused by diabetes-related vision impairment at a dimly lit party for John Travolta. She also taps into the vast diabetes research network to talk to diabetic children and adults and with leading experts who are discovering new ways to control diabetes and its complications, and pursuing new ways to cure this disease." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps.

ZZ's parents got him out of Communist China-but now that he's got his American education (including a law degree), under his belt, and now that China loves a go-getting capitalist like ZZ, what better time to return? America was never the "Wild East" like this one: Beijing is the perfect place to start a business, live large, and get a piece of every lissome girl, hash cigarette and bottle of Cristal China has to offer. ZZ taps into China's unreliable but plentiful workforce of "spit-'n-squatters" to start his brainchild, Goodiez, which delivers food all over Beijing. ZZ is the perfect guide to the real new Beijing: he's got insider's cred but an outsider's eye for the strange mores and daily annoyances of Chinese life. In China High, he offers a rare glimpse into the world of guan xi (a network of favors), the insidious importance of "face", and into the clubs and cafes- with all their above-ground and below-ground pleasures- frequented by the new young professional class in China. But ZZ's glam urban life comes to a crashing halt when he's picked up by the police for smoking an opium-laced pot "Zigarette." None of ZZ's connections do more than get him a few extra dumplings at chow-time in Sunshine Prison, where unable to bribe his way out, he is forced to take a serious look at the life he has been leading. ; FINE/FINE.

"The first biography of this meteoric guitar hero. Emerging from the hotbed of Texas blues, Stevie Ray Vaughan developed his unique style early on, in competiti…on with his older brother, Jimmy Vaughan, founder of the Fabulous Thunderbirds - a competition that shaped much of Stevie's Life. His death in a freak helicopter crash in 1990 silenced one of the great musical talents of our time." - from dust jacket. Synopsis: Publishers Weekly Austin-based journalists Patoski and Crawford pen a rousing account of Texas blues guitarist Stevie Ray Vaughan, who died at age 35 in a 1990 helicopter crash. The Dallas-born Vaughan began playing electric guitar in imitation of older brother Jimmie, who founded the Fabulous Thunderbirds. Both brothers were fixtures of the 1960s and '70s Austin scene, which spawned such rock acts as ZZ Top and allowed Stevie Ray to form his own band, Double Trouble. Vaughan's biggest break was playing on David Bowie's 1983 Let's Dance album; when he brazenly rejected Bowie's offer to tour, he garnered music-industry notice. Later, as his career skyrocketed, Vaughan abused cocaine and whiskey. He underwent treatment in 1986, a process which sealed his friendship with guitarist and recovered heroin addict Eric Clapton. Afterward, Vaughan became a preachy proponent of AA's 12-step program; he is reverently portrayed here as an inspiration to troubled fans. Backed up by plenty of blues history, this enthusiastic tribute ably succeeds as a narrative, adopting the down-home colloquialisms of its subject. Photos not seen by PW. (May) Library Journal The authors provide a penetrating first biography of blues/rock guitar virtuoso Vaughn (1954-90). Through the use of extensive interviews, they succeed particularly well in describing Vaughan's childhood relationships with his abusive father and his older brother, who served as a role model. The authors chart Vaughan's initial interest in music, his emergence on the Texas music scene, his 1983 breakthrough, and his continued rise to superstardom until his untimely death in a helicopter crash. Writing in a breezy, engaging style, they offer an intimate look at the insecurities and abilities of Vaughan to explain his sometimes tortured, drug-dominated life and his fiery, powerful music. Highly recommended for general music collections.-- David Szatmary, Univ. of Washington, Seattle Annotation Now available in paperback, here is the bestselling biography of America's last guitar legend, Texas firebrand Stevie Ray Vaughan. Hailed the greatest guitarist since Hendrix, Vaughan emerged from the hotbed of Texas blues to develop a blistering, unforgettable style all his own. "A rich, complete, and loving portrait."--Detroit Free Press. Publishers Weekly Austin-based journalists Patoski and Crawford pen a rousing account of Texas blues guitarist Stevie Ray Vaughan, who died at age 35 in a 1990 helicopter crash. The Dallas-born Vaughan began playing electric guitar in imitation of older brother Jimmie, who founded the Fabulous Thunderbirds. Both brothers were fixtures of the 1960s and '70s Austin scene, which spawned such rock acts as ZZ Top and allowed Stevie Ray to form his own band, Double Trouble. Vaughan's biggest break was playing on David Bowie's 1983 Let's Dance album; when he brazenly rejected Bowie's offer to tour, he garnered music-industry notice. Later, as his career skyrocketed, Vaughan abused cocaine and whiskey. He underwent treatment in 1986, a process which sealed his friendship with guitarist and recovered heroin addict Eric Clapton. Afterward, Vaughan became a preachy proponent of AA's 12-step program; he is reverently portrayed here as an inspiration to troubled fans. Backed up by plenty of blues history, this enthusiastic tribute ably succeeds as a narrative, adopting the down-home colloquialisms of its subject.

"And speaking of the Hamptons, those of you who do not read James Brady are missing his cream-of-the-crop writing about that spot.No one does it with Brady's panache." - Liz Smith in Newsday. "As another gorgeous East Hampton season climaxes, a remarkable woman, admired by the millions who know her only through television and her books - and cordially despised by some of those closest to her - is found dead on the beach with a stake of privet hedge driven brutally through her heart. Who killed lifestyle guru Hannah Cutting and why? With the rich and famous of the lovely resort village among the suspects, foreign correspondent Beecher Stowe, back home at his family home on Further Lane, traces Hannah's roots while digging for clues. Competing with Stowe is a young book editor dispatched to the scene by Harry Evans of Random House to find and retrieve the tell-all manuscript on which Hannah was working whhen she died. This is Alix Dunraven, a member in London of Princess Di's set of "Sloane Rangers." Now Stowe and Lady Alix make for an unexpectedly sassy and stylish team as they lead an elegant but deadly romp through the Hamptons, from redneck bars to the Maidstone Country Club, from rich men's estates to the Shinnecock Indian Reservation, from surfer hangouts to the tennis courts, as all the tensions and frictions of America's famous summer playground play themselves out: Old Money vs. New, tree-huggers vs. land developers, Hollywood arrivistes vs. Establishment WASPs. As Alix and Beecher close in on why Hannah died, a great September hurricane comes boiling up the East Coast toward East Hampton's gloden beaches and dune-top mansions. With his trademark verve and stylish wit, longtime Further Lane resident and gossp extraordinaire James Brady brings the ins and outs of the wonderfully catty East Hampton world to murderous life." - from the inner front jacket flap.
