Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. Not a book but a 12-inch, 33-1/3 rpm stereo vinyl soundtrack record album, Colgems COSO -5005, very-good vinyl LP in a very-good cardboard jacket. Yes, after Cubby Broccoli and Co. had produced four successful James Bond films with Sean Connery -- and introducing the magnificent Ursula Andress -- Charles Feldman managed to convince Colgems (you know -- The Monkees) that he had to run through five directors (including John Huston, Ken Hughes, and Val Guest) to complete this bizarre and overwrought James Bond "parody," starring Woody Allen as James Bond, David Niven as James Bond, Terence Cooper as James Bond, with an additional cast including Peter Sellers, Joanna Pettet, Ursula Andress, Daliah Lavi, Orson Welles, Deborah Kerr, William Holden, Charles Boyer, Jean Paul Belmondo . . . anyway, the soundtrack is of excellent quality, believe it or not. The film made money despite terrible reviews (Time Magazine calling it "an incoherent and vulgar vaudeville.") But this "original soundtrack" album, oddly enough, was regarded by some critics as the finest-sounding LP of all time, famous among audio purists for the excellence of its recording, becoming a standard "audiophile test" record, especially the vocal performance by Dusty Springfield on "The Look of Love." (Though note this copy is NOT "near mint," exhibiting some light scratches which cannot be felt. Also beware of post-1990 re-releases, as the highly regarded master tapes were reportedly damaged during a 1990s remastering.) Produced by Phil Ramone. Reduced from $17.

He writes, "Open dialogue freely joined by all who desire is the middle-class insurgent's most devastating weapon." As of March 2026, we locate one copy in OCLC, at the University of Michigan.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - 'You are not like those who live in the places from which you have fled,' he said, addressing the vast throng that crowded around him. 'You do not long to see the inside of palaces, nor covet slaves to do your bidding. You do not wag your tail for the master's bone, trading him vows of servitude that you might fill your belly.' 'Fleeing from all the lands around,' the speaker continued, 'you have sought refuge in free places, where each has equal say and no man lords it over another. In that free spirit, held in common among brethren, you have your home.' In this pivotal moment, Moses was calling upon the habiru - 'stateless citizens' who had defected from every kingdom in the surrounding lands, to transform their code of behavior into a body of law that would impact on the entire future of Western consciousness, and indeed upon world history. At its core was empathy. Rachmones traces the passion of hebraic empathy, its expression and defense, from its roots in universal human awareness on into contemporary culture. Utilizing a detailed examination of ancient documents and biblical sources, with references to experiences of the author in his own family, Rachmones introduces a perspective on human history long obscured behind the operative mindset of corporate society. Brigands, drop-outs, defectors, sheep herders, poor dirt farmers all played their role in defending the freedom of thought within which that precious emotion of human engagement might be preserved. With empathy poised now to invigorate a new era in human survival, this is their story.
