Hardback. Condition: Good. From his start at Reuters News Agency in London to his position as longtime coanchor of the highly acclaimed MacNeil/Lehrer NewsHour, Robert MacNeil was witness to many of the events that shaped the last century-the construction of the Berlin Wall, Kennedy's election and assassination, the Cuban Missile Crisis, Watergate. In this insightful memoir he chronicles his life's path, from a Canadian upbringing to his career as a world-class journalist.With charm and warmth, but also with a piercing eye on the century, MacNeil looks at the meaning of patriotism, nationalism, and home, and explains why he made the decision finally to become an American citizen.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. The ancient battle between good and evil is nearing its end. Evil is winning. Since ancient times, our planet has been visited by super-intelligent aliens who shift between parallel worlds as easily as we move from sunlight to shadow. Described in our myths as angels, gods, and demons, these trans-dimensional beings often walk among us unnoticed, but they're locked in a battle older than time, with our future hanging in the balance. The Archons' goal is to destroy the human race and seize our world for their own. Standing against them are the Irin, a benevolent race of winged aliens with great power but limited numbers. As our planet sinks rapidly toward apocalyptic doom, our only hope lies in the Synaxis, a group of ordinary men and women conscripted by the Irin and given supernormal powers. But it's a race against time. And as the Synaxis members trek across the Scottish highlands to open the ancient dimensional portal on Iona, they must overcome heavily-armed psychopaths, flying bat-winged demons, and the awakening of a long-dormant volcano. Most of all, they must learn how to use their fantastic new powers to drive back the Archons and rescue the world from destruction.…

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Is the growing influence of Spanish threatening to displace English in the United States? Are America's grammatical standards in serious decline?
