Park Honan draws on this new information to dramatically alter our perceptions of the actor, poet & playwright. Here is virtually all that can be factually known or reasonably speculated about Shakespeare's life. Readers will find a vivid picture of what Shakespeare's childhood might have been like in the small English town of Stratford, which had but a dozen streets in 1560. We meet his father, John Shakespeare, the glove-maker of Henley Street, who rose to the office of High Bailiff & Justice of the Peace before he was beset by financial difficulties. There is a fascinating portrait of London & of the life of an Elizabethan actor (a neophyte Shakespeare may have had to learn as many as 100 small parts per season). Honan casts new light on the young poet's relationships--his early courtship of Anne Hathaway, their marriage, his attitudes to women such as Jennet Davenant, Marie Mountjoy, & his own daughters--illuminating Shakespeare's needs, habits, passions & concerns. The author shows in fresh detail that Shakespeare was well acquainted w/ violent crime & murder in daily life. And he also examines the world of the playing companies--the power of patronage, theatrical conditions & personal rivalries--to reveal the relationship between the man & the writing. Park Honan's Shakespeare casts new light on a complex & FASCINATING life, ILLUMINATING Shakespeare's EXTRAORDINARY development into the greatest dramatist of his or any age. * HIGH PRAISE: "Park Honan's book is written in a lively, engaging, & accessible style. I think this will be regarded as the best available biography of Shakespeare." -Stanley Wells * ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Park Honan is Emeritus Professor at the School of English, University of Leeds. He has written biographies of Jane Austen, Matthew Arnold & Robert Browning. He lives in the United Kingdom. * SHIPPING: MNEMOSYNE carefully wraps, labels & custom-packages this fine book for FREE domestic shipment via USPS MEDIA MAIL or USPS PRIORITY MAIL for a below-cost additional fee & via USPS FIRST CLASS INTERNATIONAL AIRMAIL to international destinations at our posted rates. 34 choice b-w illustrations handsomely-presented in a 16 pp insert (between pp 240 & 241) on gloss-laminated paper (illustrator).

Hardcover. Zustand: Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Fine. 1st Edition. Colin Powell is the embodiment of the American dream. He was born in Harlem to immigrant parents from Jamaica. He knew the rough life the streets. He overcame a barely average start at school. Then he joined the Army. The rest is history--but a history tha…t until now has been known only on the surface. Here, for the first time, he himself tells us how it happened, in a memoir distinguished by a heartfelt love of country and family, warm good humor, and a soldier's directness. He writes of the anxieties and missteps as well as the triumphs that marked his rise to four-star general, National Security Advisor, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, mastermind of Desert Storm, and now the man the country would most like to draft as President just as it drafted General Eisenhower before him in 1952. We see Powell growing up, getting into mischief, going to church with his father, working in a bottling plant, joining the ROTC. We follow him as a green young lieutenant on his first foreign posting in Germany, where his ascent is nearly aborted by a blunder on the day he is assigned to guard an atomic cannon. We go on patrol with him into the jungles of Vietnam, where he is wounded, and then, in the first surprise turn of his career, into the every-bit-as-dangerous thickets of Washington bureaucracy as a Pentagon aide in the Carter administration. We see how he handled the humiliations inflicted on him as a black soldier traveling in the Deep South and the unnerving challenges be faced as a battalion commander in Korea, where the army guarding the border with North Korea was plagued by drugs, drinking, a lack of discipline, and racial tension. We are edge-of-the-seat spectators to some of the great international dramas of our time--Desert Storm, the invasion of Panama, the dark dealings of Iran-contra with Ollie North and Bill Casey, the climatic meetings with Gorbachev. And we are present also at the encounters with President Clinton on the controversial question of gays in the military. Colin Powell, moving easily between the Army and high positions in both Republican and Democratic administrations has a unique perspective. As an active soldier, he has experienced the sharp end of political decisions in Washington. As an advice to three Presidents, he has seen how policy is shaped and he has shaped it himself. It was Powell whom President Reagan summoned to the White House to help National Security Advisor Frank Carlucci clean up the mess after the Iran-contra debacle. It was Powell whom President Clinton called back from private life to accompany forever President Carter on his eve-of-war mission to Haiti. Haiti was a consummation of Powell's translation from soldier to statement and popular leader. Not since Dwight Eisenhower has a figure in public life been held in such universal esteem or had so few negatives. Powell gives us behind-the-scenes portraits of Presidents Reagan, Bush, and Clinton, of Stormin' Norman Schwarzkopf, and many others. This is a book of political excitement and disclosure, but it is much more. It is a life well lived and well told. It is also a view from the mountaintop of the political landscape of America. The book jacket shows some shelf wear. This is an oversized book and will require additional postage. Photo-insert design by Wynn Dan, Book design, Bernard Klein (illustrator).

"The Big Screen" is not another history of the movies. Rather, it is a wide-ranging narrative about the movies & their signal role in modern life. At first, film was a waking dream, the gift of appearance delivered for a nickel to huddled masses sitting in the dark. But soon, & abruptly, movies began transforming our societies & our perceptions of the world. The celebrated film authority David Thomson takes us around the globe, through time & across many media--moving from Eadweard Muybridge to Steve Jobs, from 'Sunrise' to 'I Love Lucy', from John Wayne to George Clooney, from television commercials to streaming video--to tell the COMPLEX, GRIPPING, PARADOXICAL, story of the movies. He tracks the ways we were initially enchanted by movies as imitations of life--the stories, the stars, the look--& how we allowed them to show us how to live. At the same time, movies, offering a seductive escape from everyday reality & its responsibilities, have made it possible for us to evade life altogether. The entranced audience has become a model for powerless & anxiety-ridden citizens trying to pursue happiness & dodge terror by sitting quietly in a dark room. Does the big screen take us out into the world, or merely mesmerize us? That is Thomson's question in this grand adventure of a book. Books about the movies are often aimed at film buffs, but this PASSIONATE & PROVOCATIVE feat of storytelling is VITAL to anyone trying to make sense of the age of screens--the age that, more than ever, we are living in. * HIGHEST PRAISE: "David Thompson has composed a grand aesthetic, spiritual, & moral account of cinema history assembled around the movies & artists that have meant the most to him. As Thompson reconstructs film history, movies bring us close to reality & deliver us into ecstatic dreams. A pungently written, brilliant book." -David Denby, author of 'Snark' & film critic of the New Yorker. "David Thompson is, I think, the best writer on film in our time. If "Have You Seen . . . ?" was his most succinct & entertaining book, "The Big Screen" is a large & vivacious map of 'the screen', beginning w/ Muybridge & tracing careers from Korda to Renoir to Hawkes to Mizoguchi, to David Lynch & Tarantino before swerving over to television. Thompson has created a marvelous plot for the history of film, w/ insights & revelations on every page. He is our most argumentative and trustworthy historian of the screen." -Michael Ondaatje * ABOUT THE AUTHOR: DAVID THOMPSON, renowned as one of the great living authorities on the movies, is the author of "The New Biographical Dictionary of Film", now in its 5th edition. His books include a biography of Nicole Kidman & "The Whole Equation: A History of Hollywood". Thomson is also the author of the acclaimed "Have You Seen . . . ? : A Personal Introduction to 1,000 Films". Born in London in 1941, he now lives in San Francisco. * SHIPPING: MNEMOSYNE carefully wraps & packages this fine book w/ our greatest care for FREE shipment via USPS MEDIA MAIL within the United States & its territories or via USPS PRIORITY MAIL for a below cost fee, w/ international shipping at our posted rates.

Hardcover. Zustand: Very good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: very good. Fourth Printing [stated]. xiv, 482 pages. Illustrations. Maps. Notes. Index. Slight wear and soiling to DJ. This definitive military chronicle of the Iraq war--and a searing judgment on the strategic blindness with which America has conducted it--draws on the… accounts of senior military officers giving voice to their anger for the first time. Pulitzer Prize-winning Washington Post senior Pentagon correspondent Thomas E. Ricks's Fiasco is masterful and explosive reckoning with the planning and execution of the American military invasion and occupation of Iraq, based on the unprecedented candor of key participants. The American military is a tightly sealed community, and few outsiders have reason to know that a great many senior officers view the Iraq war with incredulity and dismay. But many officers have shared their anger with renowned military reporter Thomas E. Ricks, and in Fiasco, Ricks combines these astonishing on-the-record military accounts with his own extraordinary on-the-ground reportage to create a spellbinding account of an epic disaster. Thomas Edwin "Tom" Ricks (born September 25, 1955) is an American journalist who writes on defense topics. He is a former reporter for the Wall Street Journal and Washington Post. He has reported on military activities in Somalia, Haiti, Korea, the Balkans, Kuwait, Turkey, Afghanistan, and Iraq. Ricks is author of four nonfiction books: Fiasco: The American Military Adventure In Iraq, The Gamble: General David Petraeus and the American Military Adventure in Iraq, 2006-2008, The Generals: American Military Command from World War II to Today, and Making the Corps. The main points of this hard-hitting indictment of the Iraq war have been made before, but seldom with such compelling specificity. In dovetailing critiques of the civilian and military leadership, Washington Post Pentagon correspondent Ricks (Making the Corps) contends that, under Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz and Feith, the Pentagon concocted "the worst war plan in American history," with insufficient troops and no thought for the invasion's aftermath. Thus, an under-manned, unprepared U.S. military stood by as chaos and insurgency took root, then responded with heavy-handed tactics that brutalized and alienated Iraqis. Based on extensive interviews with American soldiers and officers as well as firsthand reportage, Ricks's detailed, unsparing account of the occupation paints a woeful panorama of reckless firepower, mass arrests, humiliating home invasions, hostage-taking and abuse of detainees. It holds individual commanders to account, from top generals Tommy Franks and Ricardo Sanchez on down. The author's conviction that a proper hearts-and-minds counterinsurgency strategy might have salvaged the debacle is perhaps naive, and pays too little heed to the intractable ethnic conflicts underlying what is by now a full-blown civil war. Still, Ricks's solid reporting, deep knowledge of the American military and willingness to name names make this perhaps the most complete, incisive analysis yet of the Iraq quagmire.

Zustand: Very Good. A single advertising leaflet issued by Harper & Brothers, New York, titled 'Valuable and Interesting Works for Public and Private Libraries.' The sheet lists newly available and standard works from Harper's catalogue, including notable titles by Griffis (Japan), Reclus (Earth and Ocean), Hildreth (United Stat…es), Van-Lennep (Bible Lands), and works on pottery, caricature, exploration, and American history. These ephemeral inserts were placed loosely or sewn into Harper books during the early 1880s to promote the firm's broader publishing program. The sheet is printed in black with red vertical type along the left margin and paginated internally as pages 24, indicating it was extracted from a larger multi-page catalogue. Typography and listed publication dates point to production between 1883 and 1885. Very Good. Light age-toning to margins with faint handling wear; no tears or loss. Clean, well-preserved example with strong impression and fully legible text. Harper & Brothers routinely issued multi-page catalogues for insertion into their clothbound books beginning in the 1870s. These were replaced frequently, making specific printings difficult to date; however, cross-referencing publication dates of listed titles is the accepted bibliographic method. Identification & Notes +++ Advertised titles dated no later than 1883 (Griffis's Mikado's Empire, Book II), establishing the printing window as circa 18831885. +++ Includes high-interest subjects in anthropology, geology, exploration, and American history, illustrating Harper's shift toward global and scientific publishing in the late 19th century. +++ Contemporary Harper & Brothers catalogue inserts are rarely found intact due to their ephemeral nature; most were discarded by binders or readers. +++ Red-ink vertical line encourages the reader to request new cataloguesan early example of subscription-based advertising. +++ Found laid into an 1897 volume, consistent with bindery practice of using leftover catalogue sheets as fillers. Subjects: Publishers' ephemera; 19th-century book history; bibliographical advertising. Harper & Brothers; American publishing; 19th-century book trade; catalogue inserts; advertising leaflets; bibliographical ephemera; historical book production.
