	HITCHENS , CHRISTOPHER Love, Poverty and War - Journeys and Essays - By Christopher Hitchens New York: Nation Pub, 2004. 2004 Later Printing.

The point of departure for this book is an antique saying: life is incomplete unless love, poverty, and war have been experienced ... In his introduction, American Christopher Hitchens, an antitheist who describes himself as a ' believer in the Enlightenment values of secularism, humanism, and reason ' , and one of the most controversial intellectuals of our day, reflects on how he has been touched by these discrepant states ... In the book's opening section, "Love," author Christopher Hitchens confronts the legacy of, among others, Kipling, Trotsky, and Churchill, and celebrates Proust, Borges, and Joyce ... ("This is a love that matures in the cask, if you will, and deepens with time.") ... "Americana," the postscript to "Love," includes Hitchens travels along both the Sunset Strip and Route 66, and ends with his moving explanation of patriotism in the wake of the September 11 attacks ... "Poverty" features sustained polemics against religion, as well as more secular targets, including Michael Moore, David Irving, and the creepy cult of the Kennedys ... And "War" includes his excursions through Kurdistan, Pakistan, and Iraq, but also his post-9/11 columns - "I have been slandered ... for what I said at the time, and so have taken care to reprint it, in the raw stages in which it first appeared, so as to try and show how my feelings gradually became more like thoughts ... "That was a condensed day of love, poverty, and war, all right." ... Andre Anthony of The Observer says this is ... "Arguably the best - and certainly the most prolific - essayist Britain has produced since George Orwell, Hitchens is much more than a stubborn oppositionist ... Among his many weapons are a forensic curiosity, a vast learning, a savage wit, a commanding intellect, an international perspective, and a moral authority that is built on something sturdier than cheap moralizing ." ...

" Max Lerner : Pilgrim in The Promised Land is a fair, honest, and vivid portrait of one of the notable American public intellectuals of the century ... Sanford Lakoff's perceptive biography illuminates both Lerner's complex life and his turbuulent times." - Arthur Schlesinger, Jr... ' A writer, teacher, scholar, orator, theorist and womanizer, Max Lerner lived for most of the 20th century, from 1902 to 1992. Like other Eastern European Jewish immigrants to the United States, his life followed a familiar trajectory, from poor child of barely literate greenhorn parents to assimilated, well-educated youth to prominent journalist and professor. The political ideologies that goaded him as he became more and more middle class also follow a well-trod path, from socialist, to liberal, to neo-conservative. Like Sidney Hook and other white, male intellectuals of his generation, he eschewed the political upheaval created by mass movements. Instead, he sought "civilized discourse" and believed verbal compromise could resolve all conflicts. Lakoff's biography raises a plethora of interesting issues ... Lakoff has written an accessible, intriguing profile of a public intellectual whose newspaper columns reached and influenced millions. Lerner's own writing is quoted liberally, giving the book resonance and making this a vivid biography ' ....

Jacket protected in New, non-stick clear mylar sleeve ... 317 pages with index ... all in English only ... In the last 20 years of his life, Canadian media guru Mashall McLuhan , 1911 - 1980 ... patron saint of Wired Magazine ... published a series of books that established his reputation as a world renowned communications theorist and the pre-eminent seer of the modern age ... It was McLuhan who made the distinction between "hot" and "cool" media ... And it was he who coined the phrases "the medium is the message" and "the global village" and popularized other memorable terms including "feedback" and "iconic" ... McLuhan was far more than a pithy phrasemaker, however ... He foresaw the development of the personal computer at a time when computers were huge, unweildy machines available only to institutions ... He anticipated the wide-ranging effects of the Internet ... And he understood, better than any of his contemporaries, the transformations that would be wrought by digital technology - in particular, the globalization of communications and the instantaneous-simultaneous nature of the electric world ... In many ways, we're still catching up to him ... In 'Understanding Me," Stephanie McLuhan and David Staines have brought together 19 previously unpublished lectures and interviews either by or with Marshall McLuhan ... They have in common the informality and accessibility of the spoken word ... In every case, the text has been transcribed from the original audio, film, or videotape of McLuhan's actual appearances ... This is not what McLuhan wrote but what he said - the spoken words of a surprisingly accessible public man ... He comes across as outrageous, funny, perplexing, stimulating, and provocative ...

Author Jan Reid is an award winning writer for Texas Monthly, who has also contributed to The New York Times, Esquire and GQ magazines ... from the prologue of a lark with friends to Mexico City to watch a prize fight ... " In an instant I went from drunk to sober. A gun in your face does that to you. The robber in the backseat was ... nervous ... " In this compelling memoir, Reid chronicles his recovery from a gunshot wound, incurred when he was held up by pistoleros in Mexico City. An avid boxing fan, Reid was in Mexico City to cheer on a friend, Jesus Chavez, who was fighting his first professional bout on Mexican soil. Reid's tale never turns maudlin ... instead, he uses his ordeal to reflect on larger themes in his life: a boyhood spent in rural Texas that was strongly influenced by concepts of machismo and how his macho streak was trained and contained by his love of boxing. His friendship with Chavez, whose career in the states was cut short when he fell prey to unwavering immigration laws, provides some of the book's most provocative passages, which Reid further examines in light of the debilitating effects that recent immigration laws have had on Texas' Mexican population. A gifted writer whose work has appeared in Texas Monthly and Esquire, Reid has written a thoughtful book that will surely attract new fans and old ...

Never opened, Never owned, Never marked ... Gift Giving quality ... 278 pages ... illustrated with B&W photos ... Boyce Richardson's career has spanned more than 5 decades and as many continents ... His travels have taken him from New Zealand to India, from Cyprus to James Bay, from rural China to the back roads of Provence ... He was the first filmmaker to chronicle the struggles of the James Bay Cree when Quebec's hydro megaprojects began to threaten their lands ... These a ccomplishments have earned Boyce Richardson the Order of Canada ... An iconoclastic thinker, he has frequently found himself going against the grain ... Undaunted, he has never stopped working to challenge injustice in an imperfect world ... His acc ount of his years as a reporter, author, and filmmaker is refreshing in its candour, beguiling in its humour, and startling in its cast of characters ... Memoirs of a Media Maverick never ceases to intrigue and delight ... Professor Bruce Trigger, McGill University A compelling autobiography -- deeply humanistic ideas and convictions in filmmaking and writing ... " An insider's critical account of modern media. Richardson tells the fascinating story of his work, starting in 1945, as a journalist and filmmaker in New Zealand, Australia, India, Britain, and Canada ... From the first, he found himself out of synch with the commercial ethos of the mainstream media; yet, as his career propelled him across the world, he became sympathetic to the pressures and changes within his field -- though still devoted to higher goals. He once said: ‘Although I have worked in the media most of my life, in a wide variety of functions, my distaste for it has grown with every year, until today I have no hesitation in describing it as appalling.’ A prolific author and film director, Richardson's work has focused on Aboriginal peoples, the environment, and human rights.

The point of departure for this book is an antique saying: life is incomplete unless love, poverty, and war have been experienced ... In his introduction, American Christopher Hitchens, an antitheist who describes himself as a ' believer in the Enlightenment values of secularism, humanism, and reason ' , and one of the most controversial intellectuals of our day, reflects on how he has been touched by these discrepant states ... In the book's opening section, "Love," author Christopher Hitchens confronts the legacy of, among others, Kipling, Trotsky, and Churchill, and celebrates Proust, Borges, and Joyce ... ("This is a love that matures in the cask, if you will, and deepens with time.") ... "Americana," the postscript to "Love," includes Hitchens travels along both the Sunset Strip and Route 66, and ends with his moving explanation of patriotism in the wake of the September 11 attacks ... "Poverty" features sustained polemics against religion, as well as more secular targets, including Michael Moore, David Irving, and the creepy cult of the Kennedys ... And "War" includes his excursions through Kurdistan, Pakistan, and Iraq, but also his post-9/11 columns - "I have been slandered ... for what I said at the time, and so have taken care to reprint it, in the raw stages in which it first appeared, so as to try and show how my feelings gradually became more like thoughts ... "That was a condensed day of love, poverty, and war, all right." ... Andre Anthony of The Observer says this is ... "Arguably the best - and certainly the most prolific - essayist Britain has produced since George Orwell, Hitchens is much more than a stubborn oppositionist ... Among his many weapons are a forensic curiosity, a vast learning, a savage wit, a commanding intellect, an international perspective, and a moral authority that is built on something sturdier than cheap moralizing ." ...

	LAKOFF, SANFORD / REF: MAX LERNER ) Max Lerner - Pilgrim in the Promised Land Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 1998. 1998 Printing.

Excellent Gift Giving condition ... 321 pages ... illustrated with 16 pages of glossy B&W photos ... " Max Lerner : Pilgrim in The Promised Land is a fair, honest, and vivid portrait of one of the notable American public intellectuals of the century ... Sanford Lakoff's perceptive biography illuminates both Lerner's complex life and his turbuulent times." - Arthur Schlesinger, Jr... ' A writer, teacher, scholar, orator, theorist and womanizer, Max Lerner lived for most of the 20th century, from 1902 to 1992. Like other Eastern European Jewish immigrants to the United States, his life followed a familiar trajectory, from poor child of barely literate greenhorn parents to assimilated, well-educated youth to prominent journalist and professor. The political ideologies that goaded him as he became more and more middle class also follow a well-trod path, from socialist, to liberal, to neo-conservative. Like Sidney Hook and other white, male intellectuals of his generation, he eschewed the political upheaval created by mass movements.

In the last 20 years of his life, Canadian media guru Mashall McLuhan , 1911 - 1980 ... patron saint of Wired Magazine ... published a series of books that established his reputation as a world renowned communications theorist and the pre-eminent seer of the modern age ... It was McLuhan who made the distinction between "hot" and "cool" media ... And it was he who coined the phrases "the medium is the message" and "the global village" and popularized other memorable terms including "feedback" and "iconic" ... McLuhan was far more than a pithy phrasemaker, however ... He foresaw the development of the personal computer at a time when computers were huge, unweildy machines available only to institutions ... He anticipated the wide-ranging effects of the Internet ... And he understood, better than any of his contemporaries, the transformations that would be wrought by digital technology - in particular, the globalization of communications and the instantaneous-simultaneous nature of the electric world ... In many ways, we're still catching up to him ... In 'Understanding Me," Stephanie McLuhan and David Staines have brought together 19 previously unpublished lectures and interviews either by or with Marshall McLuhan ... They have in common the informality and accessibility of the spoken word ... In every case, the text has been transcribed from the original audio, film, or videotape of McLuhan's actual appearances ... This is not what McLuhan wrote but what he said - the spoken words of a surprisingly accessible public man ... He comes across as outrageous, funny, perplexing, stimulating, and provocative ...

Author Jan Reid is an award winning writer for Texas Monthly, who has also contributed to The New York Times, Esquire and GQ magazines ... from the prologue of a lark with friends to Mexico City to watch a prize fight ... " In an instant I went from drunk to sober. A gun in your face does that to you. The robber in the backseat was ... nervous ... " In this compelling memoir, Reid chronicles his recovery from a gunshot wound, incurred when he was held up by pistoleros in Mexico City. An avid boxing fan, Reid was in Mexico City to cheer on a friend, Jesus Chavez, who was fighting his first professional bout on Mexican soil. Reid's tale never turns maudlin ... instead, he uses his ordeal to reflect on larger themes in his life: a boyhood spent in rural Texas that was strongly influenced by concepts of machismo and how his macho streak was trained and contained by his love of boxing. His friendship with Chavez, whose career in the states was cut short when he fell prey to unwavering immigration laws, provides some of the book's most provocative passages, which Reid further examines in light of the debilitating effects that recent immigration laws have had on Texas' Mexican population. A gifted writer whose work has appeared in Texas Monthly and Esquire, Reid has written a thoughtful book that will surely attract new fans and old ...
