Book First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. For every great historical event, seemingly, at least one reporter writes an eyewitness account of such power and literary weight that it becomes joined with its subject in our minds-George Orwell's Homage to Catalonia and the Spanish Civil War; John Hersey's Hiroshima and the dropping of the first atomic bomb; Philip Gourevitch's We Wish to Inform You That Tomorrow We Will Be Killed with Our Families: Stories of Rwanda and the Rwandan genocide. Whatever else is written about the Iraqi people and the fall of Saddam, Jon Lee Anderson's THE FALL OF BAGHDAD is worthy of mention in this company. No subject has become more hotly politicized than the toppling of Saddam Hussein's regime, and so a thick fog of propaganda, both from boosters of the war and its opponents, has obscured the reality of what the Iraqi people have endured and are enduring, under Saddam Hussein and now. For that reason alone,THE FALL OF BAGHDAD is a great and necessary book. Jon Lee Anderson has drawn on all of his reserves of stamina and personal bravery to create an astonishing portrait of humanity in extremis, a work of great wisdom, human empathy, and moral clarity. He follows a remarkable and diverse group of Iraqis over the course of this extraordinary time: from the all-pervasive fear that comes from living under Saddam's brutal, Orwellian rule to the surreal atmosphere of Baghdad before the invasion; to the invasion's commencement and the regime's death spiral down into its terrible endgame; to America's disastrously ill-conceived seizure of power and its fruits. In channeling a tragedy of epic dimensions through the stories of real people caught up in the whirlwind of history, Jon Lee Anderson has written a book of timeless significance. Fine, first edition, first printing, in fine, mylar-protected dust jacket. {Not remainder-marked or price-clipped} NF3/A52/M.

Book First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: As New. Dust Jacket Condition: As New. First British Edition. Molecular archaeology is the most innovative field within contemporary archaeological science. Archaeologists are no longer searching for the most obvious, durable evidence of the human past, but in the last ten years have moved on to detecting something more fragile and less visible - they are looking for what they can find in the molecules of organic tissues, particularly ancient DNA. THE MOLECULE HUNT offers an overview of this new science, drawing on case studies and showing how dramatic developments in the tracing and decoding of DNA molecules have transformed archaeology. As new, first British edition, first printing, in fine, mylar-protected dust jacket. {Not remainder-marked or price-clipped} NF11.

Hardcover. Condition: Very good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very good. First Printing [Stated]. [12], 386, [2]pages. Maps. Mark Leibovich (born May 9, 1965) is an American journalist and author. He is the chief national correspondent for The New York Times Magazine, based in Washington, D.C. He is known for his profiles on political and media figures. He also writes the Times magazine's "Your Fellow Americans" column about politics, media, and public life. Leibovich got his start as a journalist writing for Boston's alternative weekly, The Phoenix, where he worked for four years. He moved to California and worked as a reporter at The San Jose Mercury News. Leibovich then moved to Washington to work at The Washington Post, where he spent nine years, first covering the national technology sector for the Post's business section, then serving as the lead political writer for the paper's style section. In 2006, Leibovich was hired by The New York Times where he was a national political correspondent in the New York Times' Washington Bureau. He then became Chief National Correspondent at The New York Times Magazine. Lebovich appears frequently as a guest on MSNBC's Morning Joe, NPR's On the Media, and other public affairs programs. Leibovich presents a blistering, stunning, examination of our ruling class's incestuous "media industrial complex." We discover how the funeral for a beloved newsman becomes the social event of the year. How a disgraced Hill aide can overcome ignominy and maybe emerge with a more potent "brand" than many elected members of Congress. And how an administration bent on "changing Washington" can be sucked into the way of This Town with ease. This Town debuted at #1 on the New York Times non-fiction bestseller list in July 2013, and remained on the Times best-seller list for 12 weeks. Leibovich discussed "This Town" on "The Daily Show" with Jon Stewart, ABC's "This Week" with George Stephanopoulos, Charlie Rose, PBS's Moyers and Company and NPR's "Weekend Edition". He also appeared as a contestant on NPR's "Wait, Wait Don't Tell Me". In a February 2014 edition of Jeopardy! This Town was the answer to a clue in a category titled "2013 Bestsellers". In advance of its July 2013 release, Politico published an article describing This Town as a "chronicle" of the "incestuous ecology of insider Washington." Leibovich, according to the story, is nicknamed "Leibo," and the book's original sub-title was "The Way it Works in Suck Up City." Fareed Zakaria as reviewer for Washington Post praises it as "hottest political book of the summer", containing " juicy anecdotes" and a tell-tale core of "corruption and dysfunction". Richard McGregor of the Financial Times described Leibovich as "like a modern-day Balzac." In his book review for the New York Times, novelist Christopher Buckley described This Town as a series of "mini-masterpieces of politico-anthropological sociology." The Economist said This Town "may be the most pitiless examination of America's permanent political class that has ever been conducted." The book attracted controversy when an aide to Representative Darrell Issa was fired for sharing reporters' e-mails with Leibovich without their knowledge. Derived from a Kirkus review: What happens when a Washington political journalist stops being polite and starts getting real? If you read the metacoverage, you would think all hell had broken loose in the aftermath of this Beltway tell-all by Leibovich, the chief national correspondent for the New York Times Magazine. This amalgam of embedded reporting and cutting humor is largely a fascinating read devoted not just to the movers and shakers, but also to the machinery that makes the broken clockwork sort-of work. Leibovich captures all of his salient theses-the rise of new media, the immovable entrenchment of the Washington establishment dubbed "The Club," and a portrait of "the modern cinematic version" of "Suck-up City," warts and all. And the author can be startlingly funny. In the wake of the BP oil spill, he writes, "Washington becomes a determinedly bipartisan team when there is money to be made-sorry, I mean a hopeful exemplar of Americans pulling together in a time of crisis." Moreover, his portraits of figures ranging from fellow journalists to socialites to the president are disarmingly candid. Harry Reid is portrayed as a former street fighter-turned-fixer. A scathing indictment of the system comes in the story of Kurt Bardella, an ambitious congressional aide who rises and falls and rises again. A kid from Rolling Stone brings down a U.S. Army general. From the elections to the absurdity of TV news, this litany of socialites, power brokers and fallen icons makes for a hell of a read while Rome burns. A vivid depiction of full-tilt folly that is sure to have its narcissistic cast poring through it for their own names.
