Hardback. Condition: Good. In this candid memoir, A. Alfred Taubman explains how a dyslexic Jewish kid from Detroit grew up to be a billionaire retailing pioneer, an intimate of European aristocrats and Palm Beach socialites, a respected philanthropist and, at age 78, a federal prisoner. With a unique blend of humor and genius, Taubman shows how selling fine art and antiques really isn't that different from marketing root beer or football, and offers penetrating insights into that quintessential palace of commerce, the luxury shopping mall. Alfred Taubman may not have invented the modern shopping center but, in the words of The New Yorker, "he perfected it." Taubman's life has been a storybook success, with its share of unique challenges. A pioneer builder and innovative real estate developer, he was also a brilliant land speculator, operator of a quick-serve restaurant chain, and owner of a major department store company. But what seemed like the pinnacle of his career, buying and reinventing the venerable art auction house Sotheby's, would lead to his conviction in an international price fixing scandal. Despite the twists and turns, Taubman's life and business philosophy can be summed up in one evocative phrase: Threshold Resistance. Understanding and defeating that force--breaking down the barriers between art and commerce, between shoppers and merchandise, between high culture and popular taste--has been his life's work.…

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. For thousands of years, the Jewish ritual bath called mikveh has been an exclusive and integral part of Jewish life. In ancient times, purity rituals were indispensable to Jewish observance. With the destruction of the Second Temple in Jerusalem, the use of mikveh continued for nearly two thousands years primarily as a ritual for women. In recent decades, there has been renewed interest in reinventing and rejuvenating this time-honored and quintessentially Jewish rite. In 2002, a community mikveh was built in Wynnewood, PA with Lori T. Cooper as its Director. In addition to encouraging traditional usages of mikveh, Cooper formed new rituals punctuated by poetry, songs, and prayers to mark the transitions in our lives. This volume is her compilation of deeply personal stories and experiences told from multiple perspectives of the visiting families and individuals, as well as Cooper's own voice. Organized into five catagories of stories; Marriage, Healing, Monthly Usage, Conversion, and Celebration, each story concludes with a careful selection designed for your contemplation and consideration. You will emerge from these incredible journeys with a unique recognition of the spiritual power and transformational abilities of the mikveh's sacred waters.…
