First Edition
Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. 64 pages with frontispiece, photographs, drawings, illustrations and index. Royal octavo. 9 1/2" x 6 1/2") bound in original publisher's wrappers. First edition. Stephen Houston is an anthropologist, archaeologist, and epigrapher whose insightful interpretations of Mayan iconography and hieroglyphic inscriptions shed new light on the intellectual culture of Mesoamerican society and address fundamental questions about the role of writing in ancient civilizations. Houston draws on inscriptions and figural art to reconstruct the political and social structure of Mayan civilization, including the dynamics of royal court life and the role of religion. His interpretations of stylized representations of the human body demonstrate how displays of emotion were depicted and used by Mayan elites to reinforce their status within a hierarchical society. By considering Mayan script in the context of both ancient and modern civilizations, he has proposed new arguments, as well, about how writing systems function and how they originate, evolve, and expire. Houston s interdisciplinary approach brings into sharper focus the poetics and preoccupations of ancient Mayan texts and illuminates the relationship between histories recorded in hieroglyphic texts and those pieced together through archaeological evidence. Condition: Very good to fine.

First Edition
Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. x+293 pages with diagrams, plates and appendixes. Octavo (8 1/4" x 5 1/2") bound in original publisher's pictorial wrappers. Foreword by Garry Kasparov. First edition. In 1995, shortly before he was to play IBM's Deep Blue, World Chess Champion Garry Kasparov defeated challenger Viswanathan Anand in eighteen demanding and gripping games. Here for the first time are move-by-move analyses by International Grandmaster Leonid Shamkovich and by Master--and Kasparov second--Michael Khodarkovsky which provide insight into the mind of the world champion as he prepared for the match against Deep Blue. Garry Kasparov handily won his first match with Deep Blue, but it is clear from Khodarkovsky's description that even in 1996 the massively parallel computer could be a difficult opponent. Then, before the spring 1997 rematch, the IBM team let on that it had improved Deep Blue considerably and that it was spoiling for a fight . . . The analysis of these games in A New Era shows just how much IBM has improved the breed. Must-reading for anyone who is passionate about the world's most enduring game of strategy and wits, A New Era takes the reader inside the world of professional chess, offering insiders' insights (including those of Kasparov himself) into the politics and psychology of competition at the top levels of play, whether against human or machine. Condition: Edge wear, corners bumped and rubbed else very good.

Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. 318 pages. Royal octavo (9 1/2" x 6 1/4") bound in original publisher's quarter yellow cloth with gilt lettering to spine over red boards ion original pictorial wrappers. First edition with review material laid in. Miller, a reporter for the Philadelphia Inquirer, knows the territory: her depictions of Harlem, Philadelphia's African-American bourgeoisie, and the drug-and-club scene all have an admirable authenticity. But, unfortunately, the story told by her protagonist, Regina Harris, never engages: poor but beautiful Regina needs to demonstrate throughout that even a young woman with a bad past can survive and remain true to herself. Brought up in Harlem, Regina is a model daughter until her widowed mother dies, overwhelmed by coping with Regina's older sister Brenda, a crack addict with a newborn infant. Young Regina tries to take care of baby Renee, but there's no money, and she fears Renee will be put in foster care. Regina starts shoplifting, then doing sexual favors for rich drug dealers, but after she's wounded in the melee surrounding a drug deal turned violent, she decides to go straight. She graduates from college and becomes a remarkably well-paid and successful freelance writer. Still, she can't escape her past, even when she marries handsome Charles Whitfield, a lawyer and the only son of well-to-do black Philadelphians. When Charles runs for Congress, his opponent releases information about Regina's history to the press. The couple weathers the storm, Charles is elected, and Regina gives birth soon after to a daughter. The marriage breaks down, though, when she learns he's been unfaithful. Regina, hanging tough, has her own ideas about revengeand the future. Condition: Fine in like jacket.
