Hardcover. First Ed, so stated. First Ed, so stated. Fine in Fine DJ: Book shows binding square and secure; text clean. DJ unclipped. As New. NOT a Remainder, Book-Club, or Ex-Library. 8vo. 247pp. Appears Unopened. Hardback with DJ. "Send" is smart, timely, entertaining, a good investment -- and, as a reference book, a keeper. It combines the pithy good sense of Strunk & White's "Elements of Style" with the tongue-in-cheek humor of H. W. Fowler's "Modern English Usage" to produce the equivalent of Amy Vanderbilt's "Etiquette" for the e-set. While most of us take emailing for granted (and, unfortunately, never -- or only rarely -- think about how our message might be received at the other end), David Shipley and Will Schwalbe take us behind the electronic curtain to show us that digital yellow-brick roads might well conceal oodles of anti-personnel devices, most of them of our own unconscious design. "All ye who enter here." might do well to stand at the portal to the World Wide Web. Unfortunately, there's no such warning. And so, all of us -- too glibly, too happily, too unreflectively -- bound through without first taking the time to learn some basic do's and don't's. Shipley and Schwalbe have compiled such a list -- and have provided anecdotes and illustrations aplenty to make digesting that list an eminently enjoyable undertaking. If, for example, you should ever experience "a sudden chill in the ether," you need only turn to page 131 to discover a possible source of the temperature drop between you and your pretended e-pal(s). While "Five Words That Almost Everyone Misuses" (p. 121) certainly wasn't necessary to any reader who's spent a pleasantly sardonic afternoon with Mr. or Mrs. Malaprop, "This Is Annoying How" is the kind of literary circus act that leaves us gasping with delight. If you're one of those readers who enjoyed Lynn Truss's "Eats(,) Shoots & Leaves" -- not only for its usefulness, but also for its moxy -- "Send" is your kind of book. If you're NOT that kind of reader, buy it anyway -- it may save (you) a friend.

Virtually 'As New'. NOT a Remainder, Book-Club, or Ex-Library. 8vo. 215pp. Deckle Fore-edge. Hardback with DJ. Intelligent, thoughtful and lucidly expressed, Engle's new novel portrays a man trying to come to terms with a void in his life. After selling his small chain of bookstores around Boston, Ben Morrison looks forward to a promised administrative position at a fledgling community college, with the possibility of a teaching job, too. But he has a strong feeling that his good fortune hasn't been earned, that catastrophe is waiting to strike, and he experiences a disquieting lack of direction as each day dawns. Ben feels distanced from his familyhis wife Lucky seems self-absorbed; his sons live far from home; his daughter Sarah, a lawyer, is having difficulty in her relationship with her lover Carl, a former activist with an uncertain future. In addition, Lucky's mother Faith, whose spirit Ben has long admired and whose insights he has relied upon, is dying. When Carl's past appears to imperil his application for a government-funded grant, Ben attempts to intervene and, in the process of untangling some consequences of Carl's actions, uncovers the roots of his own hopes and convictions. As Lucky plans her mother's 85th birthday celebration, Sarah announces she is pregnant, and Faith's condition worsens. Engel, head of Harvard's writing program and author of Fish and Voyager Belsky, conveys the subtle shifts of his characters' emotional equilibrium with respect and attention. Their conversation, in particular, is luminous, as carefully wrought and revealing as discourse in the novels of Henry James.

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 1st. xvi, 475 pages, [24] pages of plates, illustrations, maps, plans; 25 cm. Firm binding, clean inside copy. Spine slightly rolled at the crown. Stated First American Edition. Dust jacket glued to the boards. Another copy available. "The First World War created the modern world. A conflict of unprecedented ferocity, it abruptly ended the relative peace and prosperity of the Victorian era, unleashing such demons of the twentieth century as mechanized warfare and mass death. It also helped to usher in the ideas that have shaped our times--modernism in the arts, new approaches to psychology and medicine, radical thoughts about economics and society--and in so doing shattered the faith in rationalism and liberalism that had prevailed in Europe since the Enlightenment. With The First World War, John Keegan, one of our most eminent military historians, fulfills a lifelong ambition to write the definitive account of the Great War for our generation. Probing the mystery of how a civilization at the height of its achievement could have propelled itself into such a ruinous conflict, Keegan takes us behind the scenes of the negotiations among Europe's crowned heads (all of them related to one another by blood) and ministers, and their doomed efforts to defuse the crisis. He reveals how, by an astonishing failure of diplomacy and communication, a bilateral dispute grew to engulf an entire continent. But the heart of Keegan's superb narrative is, of course, his analysis of the military conflict. With unequalled authority and insight, he recreates the nightmarish engagements whose names have become legend--Verdun, the Somme and Gallipoli among them--and sheds new light on the strategies and tactics employed, particularly the contributions of geography and technology. No less central to Keegan's account is the human aspect. He acquaints us with the thoughts of the intriguing personalities who oversaw the tragically unnecessary catastrophe--from heads of state like Russia's hapless tsar, Nicholas II, to renowned warmakers such as Haig, Hindenburg and Joffre. But Keegan reserves his most affecting personal sympathy for those whose individual efforts history has not recorded--'the anonymous millions, indistinguishably drab, undifferentially deprived of any scrap of the glories that by tradition made the life of the man-at-arms tolerable.' By the end of the war, three great empires--the Austro-Hungarian, the Russian and the Ottoman--had collapsed. But as Keegan shows, the devastation ex-tended over the entirety of Europe, and still profoundly informs the politics and culture of the continent today. His brilliant, panoramic account of this vast and terrible conflict is destined to take its place among the classics of world history. / John Keegan was for many years senior lecturer in military history at the Royal Military Academy, Sandhurst, and has been a fellow at Princeton University and a professor of history at Vassar College. He is the author of thirteen previous books, including the acclaimed The Face of Battle and The Second World War. He lives in Wiltshire, England." - Publisher. Size: 8vo.
