Paperback. Condition: Very Good. In this raucous collection of true-life stories, actress and comedian Chels ea Handler recounts her time spent in the social trenches with that wild, s trange, irresistible, and often gratifying beast: the one-night stand. You've either done it or know someone who has: the one-night stand, the fam iliar outcome of a night spent at a bar, sometimes the sole payoff for your friend's irritating wedding, or the only relief from a disastrous vacation . Often embarrassing and uncomfortable, occasionally outlandish, but most t imes just a necessary and irresistible evil, the one-night stand is a socia l rite as old as sex itself and as common as a bar stool. Enter Chelsea Handler. Gorgeous, sharp, and anything but shy, Chelsea loves men and lots of them. My Horizontal Life chronicles her romp through the different bedrooms of a variety of suitors, a no-holds-barred account of what can happen between a man and a sometimes very intoxicated, outgoing woman during one night of passion. From her short fling with a Vegas stripper to her even shorter dalliance with a well-endowed little person, from her uncomfortable tryst with a cruise ship performer to her misguided rebound with a man who likes to play leather dress-up, Chelsea recalls the highs and lows of her one-night stands with hilarious honesty. Encouraged by her motley collection of friends (aka: her partners in crime) but challenged by her family members (who at times find themselves a surprise part of the encounter), Chelsea hits bottom and bounces back, unafraid to share the gritty details. My Horizontal Life is one guilty pleasure you won't be ashamed to talk about in the morni.

An inspiring and revelatory look at the document that has made our country the longest surviving democracy in the history of civilization: The Constit ution of the United States. The history of democracy is a history of failure. The United States holds t he record at 230 years, yet the document at the nation's center is one that we take for granted. Due to a combination of heightened frustration, moves to skirt the constitutional process, and a widespread disconnect between t he people and their constitutional "conscience," Lane and Oreskes warn us o ur system is at risk. The Genius of America looks at the Constitution's history relative to this current crisis. Starting with the eleven years between the Declaration of I ndependence and the Constitution's adoption, they show how our near failure to create a loosely knit nation led the framers to devise a system that ta kes human nature into account. Next they provide examples of how we have we athered crises in the past, from early attempts at political tyranny to the Civil War. Finally they turn to two periods, one of great consensus (from Roosevelt's New Deal through Johnson's Great Society) and another of divisi on (from Reagan through George W. Bush), both of which demonstrate the Cons titution's effectiveness. In the final assessment, Lane and Oreskes challenge us to let this great document work as it was designed-in times of change and stasis. They hold our leaders accountable, calling on them to stop fanning the flames of divis.

Renuka Sharma is a dutiful wife, mother, and daughter-in-law holding the fo rt in a modest rental in Delhi while her husband tries to rack up savings i n Dubai.

Because while Mrs. Sharma may espouse traditional values, India is changing all around her, and it wouldn't be the end of the world if she came out of her shell a little, would it? With equal doses of humor and pathos, The Private Life of Mrs Sharma is a sharp-eyed examination of the clashing of tradition and modernity, from a dramatic new voice in Indian fiction.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Thirty years after completing his military service, Ziya flees the spiralin g turmoil and perplexing chaos of the city where he lives to seek a peacefu l existence in a remote village-of which he has heard dreamlike tales. Gree ted by his old friend from the army, Kenan, who has built and furnished a v ineyard house for him, Ziya grows accustomed to his new surroundings and is welcomed by Kenan's family. However, the village does not provide the sere nity Ziya yearns for, and old memories of his military service on the treac herous Syrian/Turkish border flood his thoughts. As he battles specters of the past, his rejection of village life provokes an undercurrent of ill fee ling among the locals, not least towards Kenan, who has incurred heavy debt s by his generosity to the man who may have saved his life. Toptas masterfully blurs the borders between dreams and reality, truth and memory in this gripping tale. Like Turkey itself, the writer sits between the traditions of the East and the West, creating bold new literature. In his own country he sits comfortably on the shelf beside Orhan Pamuk, and his first novel in English is poised to enchant those same readers.

The spine remains undamaged. A hotly-debated topic amongst tank buffs is of the relative merits of the Soviet and American tanks of World War II. Using recently revealed documents, Steven Zaloga sheds light on the crucial tank battles of the Korean War as the rival superpowers' finest tanks battled for supremacy. The Soviet-equipped North Korean Peoples Army initially dominated the battlefield with the seemingly unstoppable T34-85. As US tank battalions hastily arrived throughout the late summer and early autumn of 1950, the M26 Pershing took the fight to North Korea with increasing success.

Steven Kotler was forty years old and facing an existential crisis-which ma de him not too different from just about every other middle-aged guy in Los Angeles. Then he met Joy, a woman devoted to the cause of canine rescue. " Love me, love my dogs," was her rule, and not having any better ideas, Stev en took it to heart. Together with their pack of eight dogs-then fifteen do gs, then twenty-five dogs, then, well, they lost count-Steven and Joy bough t a tiny farm in a tiny town in rural New Mexico and started the Rancho de Chihuahua, a sanctuary for dogs with special needs. While dog rescue is one of the largest underground movements in America, it is also one of the least understood. This insider look at the cult and cul ture of dog rescue begins with Kotler's personal experience working with an ever-peculiar pack of dogs and becomes a much deeper investigation into ex actly what it means to devote one's life to the furry and the four-legged. Along the way, Kotler combs through every aspect of canine-human relations, from human's long history with dogs through brand new research into the neuroscience of canine companionship, in the end discovering why living in a world of dogs may be the best way to uncover the truth about what it really means to be human.

Condition: Like New. Sarson, Peter (illustrator). M10 and M36 Tank Destroyers 1942-53 by Steven J. Zaloga, Peter Sarson The US Army had a unique tactical doctrine during World War II, placing the emphasis for tank fighting on its Tank Destroyer Command whose main early-war vehicle was the M10 3-inch Gun Motor Carriage, based on the reliable M4A2 Sherman tank chassis. This durable and versatile vehicle saw combat service from the North Africa campaign in 1943. By 1944, its gun was not powerful enough and it was rearmed with the new 90 mm gun, becoming the M36 90mm Gun Motor Carriage. This book details one of the only US armoured vehicles capable of dealing with the Panther and Tiger during the Battle of the Bulge.

Our Young Man follows the life of a gorgeous Frenchman, Guy, as he goes from the industrial city of Clermont-Ferrand to the top of the modeling profession in New York City's fashion world, becoming the darling of Fire Island's gay community. Like Wilde's Dorian Grey, Guy never seems to age; at thirty-five he is still modeling, still enjoying lavish gifts from older men who believe he's twenty-three--though their attentions always come at a price. Ambivalently, Guy lets them believe, driven especially by the memory of growing up poor, until he finds he needs the lie to secure not only wealth, but love itself. Surveying the full spectrum of gay amorous life through the disco era and into the age of AIDS, Edmund White (who worked at Vogue for ten years) explores the power of physical beauty--to fascinate, to enslave, and to deceive."  from the front fold over panel blurb.

Condition: Like New. Sarson, Peter (illustrator). Leopard 1 Main Battle Tank 1965-95 by Michael Jerchel, Peter Sarson Development of the Leopard 1 can be traced back to November 1956, when the operational requirement for a new battle tank was formulated by the Federal German Armed Forces (Bundeswehr). Originally a Franco-German project, the tank under design was named the 'Standard-Panzer'. The French later dropped out, however, and on 1 October 1963 the 'Standard' tank was officially named 'Leopard', an appropriate choice considering Germany's wartime pedigree with the formidable Tiger and Panther. This book traces the development and service record of the Leopard 1, detailing its control systems, modifications and variants.

Paperback. Condition: Like New. Sarson, Peter (illustrator). KV-1 and 2 Heavy Tanks 1939-45 by Steven J. Zaloga, Peter Sarson Named after Klimenti Voroshilov, the People's Commissar for Defence, the KVs proved a nasty surprise for German tank crews during the early days of Operation Barbarossa. Although slow, they were extremely heavily armoured. This volume examines the transition from multi-turreted tanks to heavy single-turret vehicles, consisting of the KV-1 and 2, and the increased favour given to the heavy single-turret after the Germans began to develop ammunition capable of penetrating even the thickest armour, whilst detailing the design, development and operational history of the Soviet Union's monstrous KV series of tanks.

Hardcover. Condition: New. From the stunning victory at Pearl Harbor to its dramatic reversal at Midwa y, the Imperial Japanese Navy swept all before it in its numerous victories in the Pacific and Far Eastern waters. The Imperial Japanese Navy in the P acific War pulls from many of Osprey's bestselling books on the subject in addition to the most recent research on the subject, including many sources from Japan, and is the most recent and accurate book on this fascinating f orce. Even after its setback at midway, the IJN remained a powerful force and inf licted sever setbacks on the US Navy at Guadalcanal and elsewhere. The Impe rial Japanese Navy focuses on the Japanese ships which fought the battles i n the Pacific including design details, where and when they were engaged an d their ultimate effectiveness. In addition, the construction, design and service history of each ship from destroyer si ze on up is included. A comprehensive survey of the submarine force is also included. Modifications of each ship are covered making this a valuable re ference source for Pacific War enthusiasts and historians, as well as ship modelers. A short history of the IJN during the Pacific War places all warship design and history in proper context. Finally, a chapter discussing the strengths and weaknesses of the IJN is included ultimately asking the question of whether the IJN really was a modern Navy which was fully prepared for the rigors of combat in the Pacific.
