Hardcover. Condition: As New. 1st Edition. SIGNED. Twenty-five years after the printing of his seminal 1988 book, Invisible City, Ken Schles revisits his archive and fashions a narrative of lost youth: a delirious, peripatetic walk in the evening air of an irretrievable downtown New York as he saw and experienced it. Night Walk…is a substantive and intimate chronicle of New York's last pre-Internet bohemian outpost, a stream of consciousness portrayal that peels back layers of petulance and squalor to find the frisson and striving of a life lived amongst the rubble. Here, Schles embodies the flâneur as Sontag defines it, as a "connoisseur of empathy.cruising the urban inferno, the voyeuristic stroller who discovers the city as a landscape of voluptuous extremes." We see in Night Walk a new and revelatory Ulysses for the 21st century: a searching tale of wonder and desire, life and love in the dying hulk of a ruined American city. Signed by Author(s).

Condition: Very good. [12], 257, [3] pages. Inscribed by the author on the free end page. Inscription reads: Maritza--Thank you for your work on "our Journeys"! You Made Me Look Good! Con Todo Carond, John Quinones. Juan Manuel "John" Quiñones (born May 23, 1952) is an ABC News correspondent, and the current host of What Would Y…ou Do? After graduating from St. Mary's with a bachelor's degree in Speech Communication, Quiñones earned his master's degree from Columbia University's School of Journalism. Quiñones served as a radio news editor at KTRH in Houston, Texas from 1975 to 1978 and also worked as an anchor and reporter for KPRC-TV. He later reported for WBBM-TV in Chicago. In 1982, Quiñones started as a general assignment correspondent with ABC News based in Miami. He was a co-anchor of the ABC News program, Primetime and now hosts What Would You Do? He also reports for all ABC News programs such as 20/20, Good Morning America, ABC World News Tonight and Nightline. According to communications attorney Mark Lloyd, "Quiñones told the League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC) audience that he got his start because a San Antonio community organization threatened that if the stations didn't hire more Latinos, the group would go to the FCC (Federal Communications Commission) and challenge their licenses." Along with reporting the many stories of heroes he's met, John also shares his own touching personal narrative of his rise from humble roots as the son of a laborer and a house cleaaner to his life as a network anchor. His is one of the most American of stories. Heroes Among Us, in its stories of selflessness, strength, and bravery, offers inspiration, ultimately challenging each of us to learn from the great deeds of our neighbors and, in turn, to follow in that same heroic spirit. The author states that even in the midst of hardship, wars, economic stresses, natural disasters and other tough circumstances, American heroes shine through. They're the type of people who will jump out of their car and run into flames to save your life in a freeway accident. They're the retired women who boldly step into the fray when they see some teenagers beating a homeless fellow. They've got ethical courage that transcends all fears. They are everywhere in America. Heroes Among Us reminds us all of the courage and dignity it takes to stand up for oneself and those around us. By chronicling such bravery, John Quiñones captures America's can-do spirit and shows that through the slightest good deed, each one of us harbors a hero within. Texas native and veteran ABC journalist John Quiñones has traveled the world and the country reporting on hundreds of stories during his illustrious career. Long ago he realized that the stories he was most attracted to had one thing in common-a shared focus on the goodness inherent in ordinary Americans. According to John, truly heroic individuals are people who make difficult choices, even in the face of danger, without giving in to fear. They don't expect fame or money for their efforts-they're just doing the right thing. They are compassionate and courageous, and our world would be a far worse place without them. They rarely get the recognition they deserve. Heroes Among Us means to change that. Along with reporting the many stories of heroes he's met, John also shares his own touching personal narrative of his rise from humble roots as the son of a laborer and a house cleaner to his life as a network anchor. His is one of the most American of stories. Heroes Among Us, in its stories of selflessness, strength and bravery, offers inspiration, ultimately challenging each of us to learn from the great deeds of our neighbors and, in turn, to follow in that same heroic spirit. This is a book to cherish, one whose wisdom will be felt for years to come. Very good Heroes Among Us reminds us all of the courage and dignity it takes to stand up for oneself and those around us. By chronicling such bravery, John Quiñones captures America. Ken Schles (Jacket photograph) (illustrator).

Hardcover. Condition: Very good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very good. [12], 265, [11] pages Signed by the author on the title page. Scott Lasser is a graduate of Dartmouth College, the University of Michigan, and the Wharton School. His novels include Battle Creek and All I Could Get. His non-fiction has appeared in magazines rangi…ng from Dealmaker (for which he wrote a regular book column) to The New Yorker. Lasser has worked for a variety of now-bankrupt companies, including the National Steel Corporation, Lehman Brothers, and Dealmaker Magazine. Scott Lasser has written a profoundly moving novel of fathers, sons, ambition, and honor, a novel that you will not soon forget. Scott Lasser's Battle Creek is a novel of America, heart-wrenchingly beautiful and compelling to the last page. To read it is to believe again in the simple things that make our souls strong: courage, faith, and the right to hold on to a dream, no matter how elusive. Gil Davison is the coach of an amateur baseball team in Michigan, national finalists many times over but champions never. He has spent his adult life juggling his roles as coach to the team, father to his estranged son, and caretaker to his own disapproving father--a man disdainful of Gil's passion for the game. Now, in this one season, Gil's star pitcher is losing his arm, his son has made it clear that he is doing just fine without him, and Gil's father is dying of cancer. So when a rookie hitter wanders into town--fresh from a stint in prison and determined to make a clean start--Gil convinces himself that the team must win the championship, their last chance to fulfill a long-standing dream. Derived from a Publishers Weekly article: "Cigarettes and baseball. These are not unusual vices," thinks one of the middle American, late middle-aged characters in Lasser's powerful novel of thwarted lives. A bleak metaphor for middle-class dreams, the story imagines the defining effect one season of amateur baseball imposes upon the lives of a small group of players and their women. Now 60, Gil Davison gave up a promising baseball future three decades ago to placate his autocratic father, who considered his athletic achievements a waste of time. By way of vicarious engagement, and beginning with his own two sons, over the past 30 years Gil has become a coaching legend around the baseball fields of suburban Detroit. His star pitcher, 34-year-old stockbroker Ben Mercer, had two weeks in the big leagues with Baltimore. Nursing an arthritic elbow, the fastballing lady-killer has finally met a woman who is his match, and that's bad for his game. Vince Paklos, Gil's astute sidekick, had a meteoric month-long stint with a major league team. Chain-smoking his way through the final days of terminal emphysema, Vince needs money to keep his life insurance in force. Out on parole after serving five years for murder, at age 22 Luke James is a batting wonder who needs someone to find him a girl, pay his room and board and keep him out of jail. His team a perennial runner-up, idealistic Gil has always played by the rules in both life and ball, but he has never won the national championship held at Battle Creek. Luke's arrival comes at a critical time, and Gil's single-minded desire to earn the title becomes a matter of life or death when his 98-year-old father lies half-blind in a nursing home, sitting on money that's more than enough to make Gil's dream come true. First-time novelist Lasser's language favors honesty over musicality but the narrative, with its poignant and disturbing insights into father-son relationships and its acceptance of the frailty of the human condition, is completely engrossing. First Edition [Stated], First Printing [Stated]. Ken Schles (Jacket photograph) (illustrator).

First edition, 2001. 128 pages. 208 illustrations, 94 in colour and 114 in duotone. Boards. Near fine in dustjacket. After the success of Invisible City, Ken Schles now presents his second book of photographs The Geometry of Innocence. With his photographs, Schles approaches the omnipresence of social structures, which - pushed…by the flood of media images - are undergoing permanent, almost frantic change. He sends his viewers onto city streets and playgrounds, into pubs and bars, puts them into a police helicopter and takes them to death row, hospital rooms and police interventions. There is no story, only a breathless sequence of pictures condensed into thematic clusters that hold the viewer spellbound.
