Includes List of Other Books by Jeffrey Kluger; Author Dedication; Prologue; Epilogue; Author's Note; Index and About the Author. Illustrated with a section of both black-and-white and color photographic plates plus color illustrated front and rear endpapers. "No matter how many times you return to the Apollo missions, you never exhaust their thrilling seat-of-your-pants suspense. But here, in the superbly capable hands of Jeffrey Kluger, the little-known story of Apollo 8 bursts vividly to life. I couldn't put it down." - Ken Burns, director. "It was refreshing to read about my friends Frank Borman, Jim Lovell, and Bill Anders and follow their record-setting trip to the moon. Jeffrey has got it all exactly straight and I enjoyed reading it very much." - Michael Collins, command module pilot, Apollo 11. "Drawing on historical transcripts and documents and his own extensive interviews with the leading players, Jeffrey Kluger paints a portrait of the U.S. space program and the first manned expedition to the moon so vivid that we feel ourselves riding in the hurtling rocket with the astronauts, taut with the thrill, the danger, and the cosmic meaning of the mission. Apollo 8 is storytelling at its best." - Alan Lightman, MIT professor. "The untold story of the first Apollo mission to the moon, which closed out one of our darkest years with a nearly unimaginable triumph. In August 1968, NASA made a bold decision: in just sixteen weeks, the United States would launch humankind's first flight to the moon. Only the year before, three astronauts had burned to death in their spacecraft, and since then the Apollo program had suffered one setback after another. Meanwhile, the Russians were winning the space race, the Cold War was getting hotter by the month, and President Kennedy's promise to put a man on the moon by the end of the decade seemed sure to be broken. But when Frank Borman, Jim Lovell, and Bill Anders were summoned to a secret meeting and told of the dangerous mission, they instantly signed on. Written with all the color and verve of the best narrative nonfiction, Apollo 8 takes us from Mission Control to the astronauts' homes, from the test labs to the launchpad. The race to prepare an untested rocket for an unprecedented journey paves the way for the hair-raising trip to the moon. Then, on Christmas Day, a nation that has suffered a horrendous year of assassinations and war is heartened by an inspiring message from the trio of astronauts in lunar orbit. And when the mission is over - after the first view of the far side of the moon, the first earthrise, and the first reentry through the Earth's atmosphere following a flight to deep space - the impossible dream of walking on the moon suddenly seems within reach. The full story of Apollo 8 has never been told, and only Jeffrey Kluger - Jim Lovell's coauthor of the bestselling book about Apollo 13 - can do it justice. Here is the tale of a mission that was both a calculated risk and a wild crapshoot, a stirring account of how three American heroes forever changed our view of the home planet." - from the inner front jacket flap.

Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine dj. Illustrated by (dj design) Endpaper Studio (illustrator). First Edition. [no discernible wear to book; the jacket shows just a touch of surface wear on the front panel, and has a very short diagonal wrinkle at the upper corner of the front flap]. (B&W photographs) A thorough, deeply-researched and very readable account of the founding and growth of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, written by its former Executive Director, who was granted access to archival records that had previously been unavailable to scholars and historians. Although this is in no way a memoir -- it chronicles only the Academy's first half-century, concluding more or less with the death of Margaret Herrick (namesake of the Academy's research library, and herself an influential figure in Academy history) in 1976, five years before Davis joined the organization -- the perspective he gained from his thirty years at the place (the last twenty at its helm) proved invaluable to his telling of its early history. (He confines his comments about more recent developments, and on topics such as the Oscar telecast's declining audience, to a four-page Epilogue.) And on a personal note, I can testify from my own observation of the author's research, to his deep concern for "getting the facts straight" and cutting through a lot of the mythology that's grown up around the Academy's history; his analysis of the various claimants to having first dubbed the Academy Award statuette "Oscar," in particular, is as close to definitive as we're ever likely to get.

"Holy hell. If you like true crime - maybe even if you don't - you'd be hard-pressed to find a story as convincing as Killers of the Flower Moon." - GQ. "A marvel of detective-like research and narrative verve." - Financial Times. "Masterful.Filled with almost mythic characters from our past.It's a haunting tale of unimaginable betrayal, naked greed, and the birth of modern law enforcement." - Rolling Stone. "A meticulously researched and masterfully spun chronicle." - Entertainment Weekly. "Deeply intriguing.Powerful.Evocative. Its narrative is so prominent that many readers might forget they are learning about a dark, forgotten chapter in American history. That combination of readability and socially conscious journalism is what makes the book so valuable." - Columbia Journalism Review. ".a twisting, haunting true-life murder mystery about one of the most monstrous crimes in American history. In the 1920s, the richest people per capita in the world were members of the Osage Indian nation in Oklahoma. After oil was discovered beneath their land, they rode in chauffeured automobiles, built mansions, and sent their children to study in Europe. Then, one by one, the Osage began to be killed off. The family of an Osage woman, Mollie Burkhart, became a prime target. Her relatives were shot and poisoned. And it was just the beginning, as more and more members of the tribe began to die under suspicious circumstances. In this last remnat of the Wild West - where oilmen such as J.P. Getty made their fourtunes and where desperadoes such as AL Spencer, the "Phantom Terror," roamed - many of those who dared to investigate the killings were themselves murdered. As the death toll climbed to more than twenty-four, the relatively new FBI took over. It was one of the organization's first major homicide cases but the bureau badly bungled the investigation. In desperation, the young director, J. Edgar Hoover, turned to a former Texas Ranger named Tom White to unravel the mystery. White put together an undercover team, including an American Indian agent in the bureau. Together with the Osage they began to expose one of the most chilling conspiracies in American history. In Killers of the Flower Moon, David Grann revisits a shocking series of crimes in which dozens of people were murdered in cold blood. Based on years of research and startling new evidence, the book is a masterpiece of narrative nonfiction, as each step in the investigation reveals a series of sinister secrets and reversals. But more than that, it is a searing indictment of the callousness and prejudice toward American Indians that allowed the murderers to operate with impunity for so long. Killers of the Flower Moon is utterly compelling, but also emotionally devastating." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps.

Illustrated with two sections of black-and-white photographic plates and color illustrated front and rear endpaper maps. Also includes a vintage October 12, 2006 USA TODAY newspaper clipping review of Blood and Thunder by James L. Swanson (a bit of the lower newspaper clipping is missing but the article is mostly intact (see photographs). "A magnificent history of how the west was really won - a sweeping tale of shame and glory. In the fall of 1846 the venerable Navajo warrior Narbona, greatest of his people's chieftains, looked down upon the small town of Santa Fe, the stronghold of the Mexican settlers he had been fighting his whole long life. He had come to see if the rumors were true - if an army of blue-suited soldiers had swept in from the East and utterly defeated his ancestral enemies. As Narbona gazed down on the battlements and cannons of a mighty fort the invaders had built, he realized his foes had been vanquished - but what did the arrival of these "New Men" portend for the Navajo? Narbona could not have known that "The Army of the West," in the midst of the longest march in American military history, was merely the vanguard of an inexorable tide fueled by a self-righteous ideology now known as "Manifest Destiny." For twenty years the Navajo, elusive lords of a huge swath of mountainous desert and pastureland, would ferociously resist the flood of soldiers and settlers who wished to change their ancient way of life or destroy them. Hampton Sides' extraordinary book brings the history of the American conquest of the West to ringing life. It is a tale with many heroes and villains, but as is found in the best history, the same person might be both. At the center of it all stands the remarkable figure of Kit Carson - the legendary trapper, scout, and soldier who embodies all the contradictions and ambiguities of the American experience in the West. Brave and clever, beloved by his contemporaries, Carson was an illiterate mountain man who twice married Indian women and understood and respected the tribes better than any other American alive. Yet he was also a cold-blooded killer who willighly followed orders tantamount to massacre. Carson's almosts unimaginable exploits made him a household name when they were written up in pulp novels known as "blood-and-thunders," but now that name is a bitter curse for contemporary Navajo, who cannot forget his role in the travails of their ancestors. Blood and Thuder is a chronicle of one of the most pivotal eras in American history - grand in scope, immediate in detail, impeccably researched, and historically revelatory." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps. "Hampton Sides doesn't just write a book, he transports the reader to another time and place. With his keen sense of drama and his crackling writing style, this master storyteller has beqeathed us a majestic history of the Old West." - James Badley, author of Flags of our Fathers. "For a huge percentage of us immigrant Americans (those whose ancestors arrived after 1492), Hampton Sides fills a gaping hole in our knowledge of American history - a vivid account of how 'The New Men' swept away the thriving civilizations of the Native Americans in their conquest of the West." - Tony Hillerman.

Includes List of Other Book(s) by John Berendt; Author Dedication; Preliminary Page Quote; Author's Note; Prologue: The Venice Effect; Glossary ; People, Organizations, and Companies; Names of Buildings and Places; Acknowledgments and About the Author. Illustrated with front and rear endpaper color map drawings. "Venice - a city of masks and riddles, where narrow streets and passageways form a giant maze that confounds the uninitiated and deepens the sense of mystery . As captivating as it is elusive, the city teeters in precarious balance between endurance and decay. Architectural treasures crumble - foundations shift, ornaments fall - even as efforts to preserve them are under way. In The City of Falling Angels, John Berendt, author of the record-breaking bestseller Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil, unveils the enigmatic Venice as only he can. The story opens on the evening of January 29, 1996, when a sensational fire destroys the historic Fenice Opera House. The loss of the Fenice, where five of Verdi's operas premiered, is a catastrophe for Venetians, made worse by the revelation that arson might have been the cause. Arriving three days after the fire, Berendt becomes a kind of detective - inquiring into the nature of life in this remarkable city while gradually revealing the truth about the fire. In the course of his investigations, Berendt encounters a rich cast of characters: a hard-as-nails prosecutor who blushes when he's angered; a prominent Venetian poet whose shocking "suicide" prompts his friends to pursue a murder suspect on their own; the First Family of American expatriates facing the loss of their palace on the Grand Canal after four generations of ownership; an organization of party-going, high-society Americans busily raising money to preserve the art and architecture of Venice, while quarreling among themselves, questioning each other's motives, and drawing startled Venetians into the fray; a contemporary Venetian surrealist painter known locally as an outrageous prankster and provocateur; a twenty-first-generation master glassblower whose sons are locked in a dynastic war; and numerous others - pigeon trappers, scapegoats, hustlers, sleepwalkers, a believer in Martians, the Plant Man, the Rat Man of Treviso, and Henry James. Berendt tells a tale full of atmosphere and surprise as the stories build, one after the other, ultimately coming together to portray a world as finely drawn as a still-life painting. The fire and its aftermath serve as a leitmotif that runs throughout the book, contributing to the ever-mounting suspense and revealing the city of Venice in all its magic, mystery, and decadence." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps.

Profusely illustrated with color photographs and family tree illustrated front and rear endpapers. "The Prince of Wales is delighted to announce the engagement of Prince William to Miss Catherine Middleton." - announcement from Clarence House, November 16, 2010, and the rear outer dust jacket. "I'd been carrying around the ring with me.I would not let it go. You hear a lot of horror stories about proposing and things go horribly wrong, but it went really, really well." - HRH, Prince William of Wales. "The marriage of Prince William to Catherine Middleton is one of the most significant royal events of recent times. As second in line to the throne, the elder son of the much-mourned Diana, Princess of Wales - whose famous sapphire-and-diamond engagement ring he bestowed on his future bride - William embodies the hopes and expectations of millions of people around the world. And as a "commoner" who will become a princess, Catherine brings romance and freshness to a very traditional union. Acclaimed biographer Andrew Morton, who was trusted by Diana herself to recount her true story to the outside world, has been covering Prince William since birth. Now he brings his unique insights to this portrait of the histories and characters of the bride and groom - from their family backgrounds and their childhoods to the early days of their relationship at university, through their ups and downs as a couple in the public eye, their private engagement in Kenya, and all the glamour and drama of the wedding itself. Both a chronicle and a lasting memento of a day to remember, this beautifully illustrated book brings us the public spectacle and the private moments as only the author of Diana: Her True Story can reveal them." - from the inner front jacket flap.
