Book First Edition
Trade Paperback. Condition: Very Good. First Edition First Printing Stated. 248 Pages. Covers show normal use (not abuse) for a book read a few times. No marks or stamps and interior text pages are white and clean. Americans' working lives are growing more precarious every day. Corporations slash employees by the thousands, and the benefits and pensions once guaranteed by middle-class jobs are a thing of the past. In Bait and Switch, Barbara Ehrenreich goes undercover again, as she did in Nickel and Dimed, this time exploring another hidden realm of the economy: the shadowy world of the white-collar unemployed. Armed with the plausible resume of a professional in transition, she attempts to land a middle- class job. She submits to career coaching, personality testing, and a series of EST-like boot camps. She attends job fairs, networking events, and evangelical job search ministries. She is proselytized, scammed, lectured, and-again and again-rejected. Bait and Switch charts the increasingly common fate of people who have done everything right-gotten college degrees, developed marketable skills, and built up impressive resumes-yet still fall prey to financial disaster, as today's ultra-lean corporations take pride in shedding surplus employees. There are few social supports for these newly disposable workers, Ehrenreich finds, and little security even for those who have jobs. Worst of all, rather than faulting the harsh new economy, the jobless are persuaded that they have only themselves to blame. Contents in Eight Chapters: Finding a Coach in the Land of Oz, Stepping Out into the World of Networking, Surviving Boot Camp, The Transformation, Networking with the Lord, Aiming Higher, In Which I Am Offered a Job, and Downward Mobility.

"The best-loved poems from one of American literature's most towering figures. No poet is more emblematically American than Robert Frost. From 'The Road Not Taken' to 'Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening,' he refined and even defined our sense of what poetry is and what it can do. T. S. Eliot judged him 'the most eminent, the most distinguished Anglo-American poet now living,' and he is the only writer in history to have been awarded four Pulitzer Prizes. Henry Holt is proud to announce the republication of four editions of Frost's most beloved work for a new generation of poets and readers. In this brilliant selection of Frost's classic poems, students and scholars alike will encounter a body of work central to American culture. / Robert Frost (1874-1963) is widely regarded as one of America's finest poets. He was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry on four different occasions, and also served as Consultant in Poetry at the Library of Congress." - Publisher. Size: 8vo.

Commemorative urban art: In his Introduction, Joseph Sciorra writes, 'Memorial walls are reminders of, if not indictments against, civil society's inability or unwillingness to address the systematic poverty and the pervasive racism that promote the rampant flow of drugs and guns into inner-city communities. ' He and photographer Martha Cooper first came across memorial walls in the summer of 1988. He reports here that the deaths of young Latino and African American men and women have been at epidemic proportions on New York's battle-torn streets, where these murals are located, and where artists have been mastering their artform.

"Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee is Dee Brown's eloquent, fully documented account of the systematic destruction of the American Indian during the second half of the nineteenth century. A national bestseller in hardcover for more than a year after its initial publication, it has sold almost four million copies and has been translated into seventeen languages. Using council records, autobiographies, and firsthand descriptions, Brown allows the great chiefs and warriors of the Dakota, Ute, Sioux, Cheyenne, and other tribes to tell us in their own words of the battles, massacres, and broken treaties that finally left them demoralized and defeated. A unique and disturbing narrative told with force and clarity, Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee changed forever our vision of how the West was really won. / Dee Brown has written more than twenty-five books on American history and the West. He lives in Little Rock, Arkansas." - Publisher. Size: 8vo.

Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. 160 pages with diagrams and index. Octavo (8 1/2" x 5 1/4") bound in original publisher's pictorial wrappers. First American edition. The slashing attacks introduced by the move Bc4 in the Sicilian were a trademark of Bobby Fischer at his best. White's plan is simple: root out the black king and play for mate. This vintage weapon formed the spearhead of Nigel Short's valiant challenge for the World title. Under the onslaught, Garry Kasparov's trusty Najdorf looked increasingly battle-weary as the Englishman punched hole after hole in the Russian's defences, and king-hunt followed king-hunt. This book is a guide to winning with the Fischer-Sozin attack. Condition: Light edge wear else near fine.

Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. 144 pages with diagrams and index. Octavo (8 1/2" x 5 1/4") bound in original publisher's pictorial wrappers. Translated by Sarah J Young. First American edition. Using games by Kramnik, Shirov, Nunn and Kasparov, and complete illustrative games to highlight the key ideas, this book offers an examination of one of the most dramatic forms of defence in chess. In the Sveshnikov Sicilian, Black aims for maximum piece activity at the cost of a shattered pawn structure, seeking to seize the initiative regardless of cost. If Black is successful, the pawns will look after themselves. On the other hand, White is aiming to use Black's weaknesses as springboards for an attack of his own.

Paperback. Condition: Very good. First Paperback Edition. Octavo; pp; (x), 509; original printed pictorial wrappers, paperback; The seventies are over. All across America, the overgrown kids of the middle class are getting their acts together--and getting older. The once-tight Chicano community of Chamisaville is long gone, and the Anglo power brokers control almost everything. Joe Miniver--faithful husband, loving father, and all-around good guyâ "is about to sink roots. To buy the land he wants, he dreams up a coke scam that will net him the necessary bread. Joe is also about to embark on a series of erotic adventures with three headstrong women, bringing him face-to-face with the terrors (and absurdity) of the modern man-woman scene. This final volume in the New Mexico trilogy, like its predecessors, is a lusty, visionary novel that blends comedy and tragedy, reality and fantasy, tenderness and bite, to illuminate some very troubling truths about America--truths no less pointed and accurate today than they were twenty years ago.

Trade Paperback. Condition: Very Good. 27th Printing. 230 Pages. No marks, stamps or hi-lighting. Interior text pages are flawless. A New York Times bestseller and Notable Book of the year. A classic of undercover reportage. Millions of Americans work full-time, year-round, for poverty-level wages. The author decided to join them, inspired in part by the rhetoric surrounding welfare reform, which promised that any job equals a better life. But how can any one survive, let alone prosper, on six to seven dollars an hour? To find out, Ehrenreich moved from Florida to Maine to Minesota, taking cheapest lodgings available and accepting work as a waitress, hotel maid, house cleaner, nursing home aide, and Wal-Mart salesperson. She soon discovered that even the lowliest occupations require exhausting mental and physical efforts. And one job is not enough; you need at least two if you intend to live indoors. This story reveals low-wage America in all its tenacity, anxiety, and surprising generosity --- a land of Big Boxes, fast food, and a thousand desperate strategems for survival. Instantly acclaimed for its insight, humor, and passion, this book is changing the way America perceives its working poor. Contents: Introduction Getting Ready, Serving In Florida, Scrubbing in Maine, Selling in Minnesota, Evaluation, and A Reader's Guide.
