Highlights from American Greats (from the rear outer cover): "It remains what it was, the greatest of bridges, the Brooklyn Bridge, made in America, its appeal defying time, a symbol now no less than ever of brave work nobly done." - David McCullough on the Brooklyn Bridge. "There is only one Chez Panisse. In this age of multiple restaurants it has no clones in London, Las Vegas, or Tokyo. Because Alice Waters has more than money on her mind." - Ruth Reichl on Chez Panisse. "Duke Ellington liked to claim he won his job at the Cotton Club, in December 1927, because he showed up three hours late for the audition, as did the owner, who heard only Ellington and non of his rivals." - Gary Giddins on the Duke Ellington Orchestra. "They [the editors] had uncanny ears for a false note; they sometimes surprised you by accepting a daring or experimental piece; they manifested a cloistered virtue, in a fallen, hustling world, that made appearing anywhere else feel like a dangerous trespass." - John Updike on The New Yorker. "Our original goal was simple, and only in retrospect, revolutionary: to use television to help children learn. We knew young children watched a great deal of television in the years before they went to school. We also knew they liked cartoons, game shows, and situation comedies; that they responded to slapstick humor, music with a beat, and above all - sadly - fast-paced, oft-repeated commercials." - Joan Ganz Cooney on Sesame Street. "So here I was, my anxiety over the flight spilling all over Danny DeVito, my fears at the time very real. Danny responded, 'Look there's no way you're going to crash because I am the LUCKIEST MAN ALIVE, and since I need you to do this work with me when you come back, there is no way you don't make it back.' 'Great,' I said. 'I can just picture it; the plane is on fire and as we crash I'm screaming, "Ha, ha Danny. Your luck has run out.' " - James L. Brooks on television situation comedy. "What made the Wright brothers' successful early experiments so remarkable is that neither had any academic education in physics. They were entirely self-taught. The difference between them and other small town entrepreneurs was they had a genius for learning, and for identifying new problems to solve." - John Keegan on the Wright Brothers. "West Point has always seemed to me to be unusually close to Main Street in Middle America; it is a place without glitz, which without consciously trying, reflects both the norm, the center, and the diversity of America. Again and again it turns out good people of significant personal modesty and a powerful sense of obligation." - David Halberstam on West Point.

Cloth. Zustand: Very Good +. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Good -. Louis Dominguez (illustrator). First Edition. Incredible!(An Astounding Gallery of Extraordinary People, Unique Structures, Exotic Plants, Unusual Animals, and Unbelievable Events in History) by Kevin McFarland was published by Hart Publishing Company, Inc., in 1976. Not an ex-library copy, this 400-page, 8 1/4" X 10 3/4", believed-to-be First Edition offering is in VG+/G- condition. The book itself is, for its 36 years, in still very nice physical shape, firm and sound. Its dust jacket, however, is in just G- condition, due, no doubt, to its having done such an admirable job over time of protecting and preserving the book within its covers. There is noticeable shelf wear at top and bottom edges of jacket's spine, in 1-2 random spots at top/bottom edges of back cover section, and at four top points where front/back inside jacket flaps actually make their inward folds. I clear taped in 3-4 random places to shore up/keep from worsening smallish tears. From front inside flap, "Did you know that President James Garfield could write in two languages at the same time--one with each hand? That a two-day-old gazelle can outrun a full-grown racehorse? That the Hindu temple of Madura, India, is ornamented with 30 million idols? That a desert growth called the resurrection plant moves in search of water? In this compelling giant of a book, [the author] tells the world's most incredible yet true stories, which Luis Dominguez complements with his fabulous illustrations. Here are the most unusual individuals.most astounding creatures.most incredible man-made marvels.most fascinating plant specimens. [amazing] physical feats." As amazing as the over 300 entertaining stories presented in this offering are to read, THE REAL STARS are probably the over 180 charming, black and white sketches of Dominguez, in my humble opinion, Reader. Just a few of the titles/subjects offered include "Edgerton Won a Professional Fight at Age 63", "Huey Long Made the Longest Speech in History", "Lemmings Commit Suicide by the Millions", and "The Purandhar Gate Is Built on a Foundation of Solid Gold". Obviously very much in the same vein as Ripley's Believe It or Not anecdotes, this volume will entertain readers young and old for countless hours if given the opportunity! Thank you!!
