Gilbert, Martin Never Again: The History of the Holocaust
0789304090; This book is the culmination of forty years research by Martin Gilbert, on of the world's most eminent historians of the Holocaust. In this illustrated survey he describes Jewish life in Europe before the Holocaust, the rise of Nazism in Germany, the search for safe havens after 1933, and the work of those who helped that search. He documents the spread of German conquests, the expulsion of whole Jewish communities, the establishment of ghettos, the deportations, and mass murder. He looks at individual acts of defiance, at escape, and the revolts in the ghettos and death camps. He writes of the fate of the slave labourers, and of those sent on death marches. He also portrays the Jewish determination to survive, and strength of spirit amid relentless horror. Gilbert's account is rich with narratives of individual experience. Together with the illustrations that he has gathered from many countries and diverse sources, and maps he has prepared specially, they make this work on the Holocaust enlightening, visual and immediate. 192 pages with a bibliography, index of places, and index of people. The jacket has a 1" tear at the spine top, repaired, in an acrylic cover. 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall.

Giuliano, Geoffrey; Giuliano, Brenda; Lennon, Charlie (introduction by) The Illustrated John Lennon
1572152109; This book takes readers miles beyond any of the more than two dozen major books published about the dreamy, bespectacled singer/composer from suburban Liverpool. With a riveting text culled from over a decade of research into Lennon's extraordinary life, author Giuliano rounds out his insightful look at the former Beatle with seldom-before-seen photos, many never previously published, spanning the performer's life. The introduction by John's uncle reveals, for the first time, the often complicated hidden world of his famous nephew. This book neatly ties together the myth, music and magic of one of the 20th century's greatest artists. 96 pages, including a Q&A session and Lennon chronology. Pictorial cover; corners are slightly worn. Jacket has light wear at the corners and a 1 1/2" repaired tear at the back. In protective cover. 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall.

Glasser, M.D., Ronald J. Ward 402
The scene is the children's ward of a great hospital, and the story a profoundly moving account of a young doctor's involvement in the life of an enchanting eleven-year-old girl afflicted with leukemia. When Glasser examines the child, he is amazed. Mary is so sick it seems incredible to him that she was not hospitalized before. When he learns the reason her father has brought her in now, he is even more astonished. He had dealt with difficult parents before, but never one like this. In the midst of laboratory and X-rays, suddenly there were human concerns. This is the heart of Dr. Glasser's compelling story, that makes it unlike any other "doctor book." Minor wear at the corners of the dust jacket, and at head of the spine there are a few chips. 211 pages, no marks or tears. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.

Goddio, Franck; Bernand, Andre Alexandria: The Submerged Royal Quarters
1902699009; This slip-cased publication presents for the first time the results of the work carried out in Alexandria by the Institut European d'Archeologie Sous Marine (IEASM). The 1992 season marks the date when the first topographical surveys were made and the archaeological campaigns of 1996 and 1997 are reported and analyzed in detail. From the first topographical survey the most modern techniques were used, which allowed the team to determine exactly the topography of the ancient Ptolemaic harbour and the city of Cleopatra. The contours of the ancient areas, today under the sea, discovery of exceptional archaeological remains, problems of ancient harbour installations and their function are discussed at length. Observations on the enigmas posed by the vast fields of submerged ruins, archaeological analysis, study of the stone blocks found, the epigraphy and a study of the pharaonica, along with an extensive comparison with the texts of ancient writers and a study of the statuary completes and enriches the subjects dealt with in this work. As well as a discussion of the results, precise data and hypotheses for further investigation are represented. 137 color photographs, 33 maps and 9 gatefolds included; 274 pages with a selected bibliography included. Printed on heavy paper, the cover of the book is the same as the slipcase in which it comes. Folio - over 12" - 15" tall.

Goodman, Susan Tumarkin (editor) Russian Jewish Artists in a Century of Change: 1890-1990
379131601x; Under Tsarist rule, Jews interested in pursuing artistic careers were educated locally or found that opportunities to attend urban academies severely limited. Nonetheless, a significant Jewish presence existed on the Russian art scene before the Revolution. Most artist welcomed the Revolution and the lifting of sanctions, and found jobs in culture, or as influential teachers, designers and photographers. Given the present state of research into the Jewish artists of Russia, this book - which documents an exhibition organized by The Jewish Museum, New York - purposely proposes more questions than it answers. A lucid historical overview by historian Michael Stanislawski is followed by seven thought-provoking essays by an international roster of art historians who address, in chronological sequence, the difficult, frequently uplifting history of Jewish art in Russia in the modern period. Includes an index, 46 color plates and 311 black-and-white illustrations. A beautiful and interesting book! Bound in red cloth.

Gordis, Daniel Does the World Need the Jews? Rethinking Chosenness and American Jewish Identity
0684803895; What would happen if the world woke up one day and there were simply no Jews left? Would the world be worse off? In this book, Rabbi Daniel Gordis suggests that one of the chief sources of malaise among contemporary Jews is that many cannot answer this critical question. Though many Jewish community leaders now speak of an American Jewish "continuity crisis," Gordis sees a very different problem. The issue, he argues, is not continuity, but identity. American Jews simply have no conception of why they matter or what their tradition stands for. 302 pages with glossary, further reading and index. 5 1/2" x 8 3/4" high

Gordon, Linda The Great Arizona Orphan Abduction
0674360419; In 1904, New York nuns brought forty Irish orphans to a remote Arizona mining camp, to be placed with Catholic families. The Catholic families were Mexican, as was the majority of the population. Soon the town's Anglos, furious at this "interracial" transgression, formed a vigilante squad that kidnapped the children and nearly lynched the nuns and the local priest. The Catholic Church sued to get its wards back, but all the courts, including the U.S. Supreme Court, ruled in favor of the vigilantes. This disturbing and dramatic tale is told to illuminate the creation of racial boundaries along the Mexican border. Clifton-Morenci, Arizona, was a "wild west" boomtown, where the mines and smelters pulled in thousands of Mexican immigrant workers. To the Anglos of Clifton-Morenci, placing a white child with a Mexican family was tantamount to child abuse, adn they saw their kidnapping as a rescue. In retelling this little-known piece of American history, the author brilliantly recreates and dissects the tangled intersection of family and racial values in a gripping story that resonates with today's conflicts over the "best interests of the child." 416 pages, including notes, acknowledgments, and an index. One page is dog-eared, and one page has a small wrinkle at the bottom. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.

Gottfried, Martin Sondheim
0810941791; This volume, originally published in 1993, is an enlarged and updated version. Stephen Sondheim grew up under the wing of one of the great creators of musical theater, Oscar Hammerstein II, but he has forged a long and brilliant career away from the shadow of that master. His own inventions, as lyricist, as composer, and in both roles, have broken new ground. Beginning as a lyric writer for Leonard Bernstein (West Side Story) and Jule Styrne (Gypsy), Sondheim struck out on his own, writing both music and lyrics for many wonderful shows including A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum, Follies, A Little Night Music, Into the Woods, and many more. The author gives us a narrative of Sondheim's life and his cogent analysis of the music and lyrics are greatly enhanced by generous quotations from the artist himself. Sondheim gave many long interviews over several months that lend this book a special, intimate and accurate authority. Coupled with the lively recapitulation of the stories and key scenes in all the shows is a host of photographs from public sources and Mr. Sondheim's own personal files. 209 pages including an index. 121 illustrations, 55 in full color. The binding is red cloth. 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall.

Gouma-Peterson, Thalia; Schapiro, Miriam Miriam Schapiro: Shaping the Fragments of Art and Life
0810943778; A pioneering force in the feminist art movement of the 1970's, Miriam Schapiro (b. 1923) dared to challenge the marginalized role of women in the art world by creating a visual vocabulary to express women's experiences. In this lavishly illustrated book, the first comprehensive monograph on the artist, acclaimed art historian Thalia Gouma-Peterson traces the trajectory of Schapiro's career over five decades. She begins with her gestural canvases of the 1950's to self-exploratory "Shrines" and geometric abstractions of the 1960s, to her large-scale femmage (feminist-oriented collages of paint and fabric) in the 1970s and 1980s, and finally to her autobiographical figural compositions of the 1980s and 1990s. There is so much more than there is room to describe! 125 illustrations, 75 plates in full color. A fascinating, colorful book. The binding is orange cloth with lettering in a satin-feel lavender. 160 pages, including notes, bibliography, exhibition chronology, and index. The bottom front of this very heavy jacket is bent up a bit where the jacket is folded over to the inside. 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall.

Govrin, Michal The Name
This book was first published in Isreal, in Hebrew. It was awarded one of the country's most prestigious literary prizes, esablishing Michal Govrin as a singular new voice in comtemporary Jewish literature. This is the story of Amalia, the daughter of Holocaust survivors, named for her father's first wife, a concert pianist who perished in a Nazi death camp and whose sanctified memory haunts Amalia's youth. In a decisive, rebellious break from the culture of remembrance in which she was raised, Amalia grows into a wild, defiant young woman who attempts, unsuccessfully, to remake her life, to change her identity, to redefine herself as a woman stripped of history. But she is unable to escape her cultural legacy and is plagued by troubling questions of faith. The DJ has a few scuffs on it. The price is not clipped. This book was translated from the Hebrew by Barbara Harshav. 375 pages, including glossary. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.

Grahame, Kenneth The Wind in the Willows
In this beloved book, Kenneth Grahame created an imaginary world that is as real and vivid as life itself. Bashful Mole, worldly-wise friend Rat, boastful yet endearing Toad, practical Badger, and all the other creatures of the Wild Wood remain in the reader's mind as lifelong friends. This is a story of their adventures, a rich heritage of the imagination. Written not only for children but for "adults who remember what it is like to be children," it has inspired many outstanding artists to illustrate it, but never before has it found so perfect an interpreter as Tasha Tudor. She created sensitive, delicate pencil drawings and exquisite watercolor paintings. The green cloth binding has a gold outline on the front along with two spots near the bottom. The jacket has many small chips with a few larger tears and the spine has chips at both ends. Many have been properly repaired, and is in a protective cover.

Greene, Melissa Fay Last Man Out: The Story of the Springhill Mine Disaster
0151005591; The deepest coal mine in North America was notoriously unpredictable. One late October evening in 1958 it "bumped" - its rock floors heaving up and smashing into rock ceilings. A few miners staggered out, but most of the 174 on the shift did not. Nineteen miners were trapped. The hope of finding life underground faded and families made funeral preparations. Then, a miracle: Rescuers stumbled across a broken pipe leading to a cave containing survivors, then a second group was discovered. A media circus followed as Ed Sullivan, then the state of Georgia invited survivors to visit. Using long-lost stories and interviews with surviviors, the author has reconstructed the drama of their struggle to stay alive. Eight pages of photographs, 342 pages including sources, endnotes, and an index. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.

Greene, Naomi Landscapes of Loss: The National Past in Postwar French Cinema
0691029598; There is a sense of deep national crisis that gives rise not only to the past, which is reflected in French cinema, but also to films thhat are permeated, albeit in different ways, by a profound melancholy. The mournful weight of the past is, certainly, most intense in the cinema of Alain Resnais: In his films, repressed and shifting memories seem to hold thought and action captive. But, to varying extents, a similar sense of paralysis affects the protagonists of other films. If the numbness that afflicts the characters in Le crabe-tambour and Outremer can be explained by the trauma of decolonizations, no similar explanation comes to the mind for the aimlessness of the homeless young people who roam about contemporary Paris in Les amants du Pont-Neuf. The preoccupation with memory seen in these films may recall the search for lost time undertaken by the narrator of Proust's masterpiece. Instead of finding joy, however, the past takes on the somber colors of the present. It is the various shapes of these haunted and often funereal sites that are examined in this book. 234 pages including notes and an index. Binding is bright red cloth. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.

Greenfield, Jeff The People's Choice : A Cautionary Tale
0399138129; Few people know the absurdities of American politics better than Jeff Greenfield, ABC News' award-winning political and media analyst, and he's poured them all into one of the funniest, scariest, most plausible what-if novels ever written. When the President-elect dies just two days after his close victory, the universal assumption is that his running mate moves up. After all, isn't that the way the Constitution works? Well, actually - no. Until the electoral college meets in December, nobody has been elected, and with the candidate dead, the electors can indeed vote for the vice-presidential candidate - or they can vote for the other guy, their mothers-in-law, or (cringe) Geraldo Rivera, for that matter. The dj has minor wear at the top edge. 309 pages, no marks or tears. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.

Griffin, Adele The Other Shepards
0786804238; The other Shepards died nearly twenty years ago, but eighth grader Holland Shepard and her younger sister, Geneva, are shadowed by other people's memories of their two brothers and sister. The enormity of their family's loss has limited the scope of the girls' own identities; "Whatever else we are," Holland reflects, "has been swallowed up by our haunting." Then Annie the painter arrives. She steps easily into their Greenwich Village home and, with insouciant charm, widens the sisters' perspective of themselves, their city, and the tragedy that has preceded them. It is Annie who gives them the courage to embark on a journey to make peace with their past, and redefine themselves beyond grief and memories. Part ghost story, part love story, this wonderful novel is a narrative of loss and healing, reality and memory. 218 pages. 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall.

Grigsby, Shaw E.; Coram, Robert Bass Master Shaw Grigsby: Notes on Fishing and Life
0792273761; Bass fishing is bigger than golf and tennis combined, with more than 30 million anglers matching wits with this canny and aggressive prey. For some, it is a beloved pastime; for others it's a consuming passion. For Shaw Grigsby, it's nothing less than a way of life. He's won five major tournaments along with dozens of other competitions, and taken home more than a million dollars in prize money. He's a consummate professional - and once you nibble at his irresistible book, he'll hook you just as surely as the bass he stalks so skillfully. Even the most seasoned angler will find tips and strategies galore, on everything from fine-tuning a lure to thinking like a fish, and his soft-spoken, infectious enthusiasm will catch the imagination of newcomers everywhere. You'll learn where to find the fish in any kind of water and any kind of weather; how to sense the patterns that consistently prove results, and what casting technique works best in any given condition and much more. This is one cool book! 191 pages, the binding is 1/4 cloth with a small gold bass on the front. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.

Grimes, Roberta My Thomas: A Novel of Martha Jefferson's Life
0385423993; Thomas Jefferson wrote that all men are equal and all have a right to liberty, yet he kept in bondage numerous slaves, including his own wife's half brothers and half sisters. He was an aristocrat who early in his life came to champion the cause of the common man; he never much cared for public service, but he gave to it more than half his life. There were so many contradictions in Jefferson's life that even his friends claimed not to know him.Perhaps only one person knew him well. Now, after years of careful research, Roberta Grimes re-creates Martha Jefferson's journal to reveal our third President as we have never seen him before, through the eyes of the woman who loved him best. In resurrecting Martha Jefferson's life and setting it in its proper historical context, Grimes has painted a wonderfully realistic portrait of colonial America that includes a very revealing look at the relationships between the races and the sexes. 320 pages including a selected bibliography. The jacket has a light scratch on the spine, about 2" long. The endpaper has a small spot on it. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.

Grotta, Daniel J.R.R. Tolkien: Architect of Middle Earth
0762413379; NEW - John Ronald Reuel Tolkien (1892-1973) author of The Hobbit and the Lord of the Rings trilogy, is one of the twentieth century's most beloved and enigmatic writers. His highly unusual, imaginative works have sold millions of copies and delighted readers of all ages. And yet, surprisingly little is known about the personal life of the creator of Middle Earth. This man, who was embarrassed by success, lived most of his life as an Oxford scholar in the surrounds of a cloistered academic community. As a child in South Africa, Tolkien was kidnapped by a native and taken into the bush. As a youngster in the industrial city of Birmingham, England, Tolkien was raised by a Catholic priest. As a young adult, Tolkien lived through the bloody horror of the trenches of WW I. How these experiences shaped his imagination is just one of the areas that Daniel Grotta tries to uncover. 197 pages including an index and an epilogue, which is fascinating. The subject is The Silmarillion, which was published posthumously in 1977, after his son, Christopher, worked on it for years. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.

Gulick, Edward V.; Cohen, Paul A. (foreword by) Teaching in Wartime China: A Photo-Memoir, 1937-1939
0870239120; After graduating from Yale in 1937, Edward Gulick spent two years in China's Hunan Province, teaching English at a mission school for Chinese boys. Faced with the prospect of invasion and military occupation by the Japanese, the schools' leaders moved the students to safer quarters in a distant town. Gulick participated in the evacuation, traved widely in the area, and kept detailed journals. Drawing on these journals and a collection of photographs he took then, he has created a memoir in words and images that vividly conveys the texture of his daily life in China. He successfully weaves the voice of an earnest young man caught up in the turbulence, and that of a historian who pondered the experience for many years. His lively narrative will live in your memory through the poignant photographs. Includes a list of central figures by name and who they were. Bound in deep red cloth.

Hamilton, John Maxwell Casanova Was a Book Lover: And Other Naked Truths and Provocative Curiosities About the Writing, Selling, and Reading of Books
0141002336; Very Advance Praise for Casanova: "I laughed my head off." Marie Antoinette. Abraham Lincoln said "Can't wait for the play!" Everyone knows which books people buy, but who knows which books people steal? In this irreverent analysis of the book industry, John Maxwelll Hamilton - a longtime journalist and public radio commentator - answers this question and many more, proving that the best way to study books is not to take them too seriously. He provides a rich history of the book - from the early day when monks laboriously hand-copied texts to the recent tidal wave of movie tie-ins - and gives a succinct overview of the state of the industry today. Throughout, Hamilton peppers his prose with spicy tidbits of information that will fascinate bibliophiles everywhere. 351 pages, including appendices A, B and C (great information, but you'll have to read the book to find out what they are), endnotes, and an index. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.

In this divided place, Faridah posesses transcendent wisdom and a dangerous scorn for tradition. Jammana, granddaughter of a seer and village outsider, struggles between the allure of the ancient world and the tensions of a modern age. Through an ancestral gift, Jammana experiences the memories of those closest to her. But as she unwittingly uncovers the village's secrets - including a forbidden love affair - old grudges move like a slow burn across the fields and ignite.

Han, Carolyn (Retold by) Cheng, Jaiho (Translated by) Tales from Within the Clouds: Nakhi Stories of China
0824818202; South of the clouds, in the land of the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, dwell the descendants of a once pastoral people, the Nakhi. Today there are still Nakhi who follow their ancient traditions, and Nakhi folktales reflect their beliefs. In the legends presented here we discover why the Sun - hot-tempered and impetuous, is unpleasant to look at, while the graceful Moon attracts us with her silvery light; why the azalea, for all her beauty, lives the shortest and saddest of lives. In a Nakhi creation tale, we learn that the oceans and mountains are the result of a terrible battle in which Sumei Naga, a beautiful but greedy sepent, is slain for stealing a jeweled egg. The ten stories, illustrated with delightful paintings by celebrated artist Li Ji, welcome us into the unique and little-known world of the Nakhi. Fully illustrated - still in publishers wrap. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.

Han, Carolyn (Retold by) Han, Jay (Translated by) Why Snails Have Shells: Minority and Han Folktales from China
082481505x; The twenty stories that comprise this collection reflect some of the ethnic diversity of China. Through a cast of familiar animals we get a glimpse of the cultures from which the stories emanate, and we see that the world is interconnected and the planet quite small. The tales show that our similarities are much greater than our differences. Besides their literary value, these tales convey moral instruction. The second part of the book gives background information about the nationalities from which the tales have been taken. Each tale is enhanced with an illustration by Li Ji, an artist and lecturer at Yunnan Art Institute of Kunming, China. He brings to this volume his first-hand knowledge of minority peoples and a deep understanding and love for animals and the environment. This book is still sealed with the publishers shrink wrap, but is approximately 50 pages. The illustrations are very rich and colorful. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
