First Edition
Mass Market. Condition: Very Good. FIRST VINTAGE EDITION. 283 Pages. Vintage books Edition May 1973 # V-913. . Light wear to covers. Dozens of the pages have pencil underlining. In this masterly study in introspection, Willa Cather tells the story of a scholarly professor in a Middle Western university, passing through the critical, uneasy period between middle age and old age. Reluctant to move into a new, more comfortable house, he remains in the old room he has been used to working in, despite the protestations of his wife and daughters. The reader finds him a man in his middle fifties at the zenith of his intellectual powers-yet now suffering the dislocations of a life that has changed too quickly, too harshly. Contents in Three Books: The Family, Tom Outland's Story, and The Professor.

Trade Paperback. Condition: Very Good. 7th Printing. 309 Pages Indexed. An incisive and boldly original critique of the news media's domination of Ameerica's political process. Since Watergate the road to the presidency has led through the newsrooms, which in turn impose their own values on American politics. The results are campaigns that resemble inquisitins or contests in which the candidates' game plans are considered more important than their goals. Lucid and ahhoristic, historically informed and as timely as a satellite feed, the author mounts a devastating inquest into the press's hijacking of the campaign process---and shows what citizens and legislators can do to win it back. Contents in 6 Chapters: Prologue-Truth and Falsehood on the Campaign Trail, TehMiscast Institution, Of Schemas Game and Governing, Images of the Game They Play, Reporters' Issues versus Candidates' Issues, News Truth and That State of Nature We Call Election Coverage, and How to To Fix the Campaign- Shorten It. Plus Bibliography, Postscript, and Notes.

Trade Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Second Printing. 156 Pages. First Vintage International Edition March 1996. Tight straight and clean with no marks and stamps with no noted defects. At the turn of the century, the Storyville district of New Orleans had some 2000 prostitutes, 70 professional gamblers, and 30 piano players. It had only one man who played the cornet like Buddy Bolden. By day he cut hair and purveryed gossip at N. Joseph's Shaving Parlor. At night he played jazz as though unleasing wild animals in a crowded room. At the age of thirty-one, Buddy Bolden went mad. From these sparse facts the author ahs created a haunting , lusly atmospheric novel about one of jazz's legendary pioneers and martyrs. Obsessed with death, addicted to whiskey, and self destructively in love with two women, Buddy Bolden embodies all the dire claims that music places on its acolytes. And as told in Coming Through Slaughter, his story is as beautiful and chilling as a New Orleans funeral procession, where even the mourners dance.

Trade Paperback. Condition: Near Fine. Third Printing. 337 Pages Indexed. Tight bright book with no marks or stamps. Faultless interior. Long before Oliver Sacks became a distinguished neurologist and best- selling writer, he was a small English boy fascinated by metals-also by chemical reactions (the louder and smellier the better), photography, cuttlefish, H. G. Wells, and the periodic table. In this endlessly charming and eloquent memoir, he chronicles his love affair with science and the magnificently odd and sometimes harrowing childhood in which that love affair unfolded. We meet Sacks's extraordinary family, from his surgeon mother (who intro- duces the fourteen-year-old Oliver to the art of human dissection) and his father, a family doctor who imbues in his son an early enthusiasm for housecalls, to his Uncle Tungsten, whose factory produces tungsten-filament lightbulbs. We follow the young Oliver as he is exiled to a grim, sadistic boarding school to escape the London Blitz, and later watch as he sets about passionately reliving the exploits of his chemical heroes-in his own home laboratory. By turns elegiac and comic, Uncle Tungsten is the story of a brilliant young mind springing to life.
