Hardback. Condition: Good. A visually stunning look at innovative and eye-popping measures used to protect ships during World War I. During World War I, British and American ships were painted with bold colors and crazy patterns from bow to stern. Why would anyone put such eye-catching designs on ships?

By the end of the war, more than four thousand ships had been painted with these mesmerizing designs.

Hardback. Condition: Very Good. The Lucky Ones is a model of historical scholarship. Mae Ngai extracts from limited records a lively and nuanced narrative of the Tape family and vividly illuminates how conditions of inequality fester and spread through human greed and aspiration. The telling tale of the Tapes challenges commonly held myths of immigrant absorption over generations.--Madeline Y Hsu, author of Dreaming of Gold, Dreaming of Home: Transnationalism and Migration between the United States and Southern China, 1882-1943Rigorously researched and well written, The Lucky Ones engages scholars as well as the general public.--Gordon H. Chang, Stanford UniversitMae Ngai's book is perfect! The multigenerational story of the Tape family's experience as immigrants, then as Chinese Americans, is well told and richly documented. This jazzlike tale captures the complex, contradictory improvisations of all who come to these shores in search of freedom and fulfillment. Ngai's account of the Tape family's bargains with old and new world denizens is an outstanding teaching text because she highlights the way in which 'Chinese-American' identity, at a critical point in U.S. history, exemplified and constituted 'American' citizenship and 'American' dreaming. Through Ngai's account, students are able to understand how very American the Tape family was and how similar their tale is, even in its difference, to those of other Americans.--Lucas B. Wilson, Mount Holyoke College.…

Paperback. Condition: Good. A newly fallen angel accused of murder, Cassiel must save an elven girl and face demons-both literal and personal. She knows she isn't the best person for the job, but she's the only one who can do it.The police are ill-equipped to handle demons, even with magic, and time is running out. Cassiel and her friends-a disabled human veteran, a reformed elven gangbanger, and an ex-marine orc-face the hardest fight of their lives. This fast-paced urban fantasy adventure is the first novel in the Smoke and Magic series, set in modern Boston, MA. If you are looking for a new voice in Urban Fantasy, look no further than Fallen.I loved this book. It had angels and demons, a wonderfully consistent set of rules and perspectives, a great pace, and a truly intriguing story. The characters were relatable and fleshed out, and it made me feel like I was really experiencing it. I found it inspiring, though I don't know nearly enough about angels or Christianity to do it nearly the justice that Prybylski does. It really is one of the best takes on urban fantasy - and angels - I've seen in a long time.--Dr. Joseph Weinberg, Author of the Sam Archer series.…
