Paperback. Condition: Good. America Afire is the powerful story of the election of 1800, arguably the most important election in America's history and certainly one of the most hotly disputed. Former allies Adams and Jefferson, president versus vice president, Federalist versus Republican, squared off in a vicious contest that resulted in broken friendships, scandals, riots, slander, and jailings in the fourth presidential election under the Constitution. The election of 1800 (not unlike that of 2000) was a tumultuous one, replete with an attempt to steal the victory from a controversial winner; deadlocked parties hell-bent on success; and a nation divided. Thomas Jefferson vs. John Adams--one of the most slanderous campaigns in the history of the nation. Added to that were backroom connivings and threatened riots serious enough to badly bend a young and shaky electoral system. The election ended in a tie--between the Presidential and Vice-Presidential candidates. After 7 straight days of voting in the Congress, Jefferson finally became president. America Afire is a timely tale that not only enlightens and entertains, but reassures us of the continuity and durability of our institutions. …

Paperback. Condition: Fair. Third in the series of Sight and Sound Readers; Literary adaptations a well-studied topic and more heritage films are released than any other genre; Includes discussion of a range of films throughout the 90s, such as American Pyscho, The Beach and Jackie Brown; Includes section on Dystopias and Pulp Fictions; Major new essay by one of the UK's biggest name academics in the field of popular cinema; Period costume dramas are major box-office commodities, exploiting the lucrative gap between blockbusters and art films, with their mixture of rich visuals, popular sensibility, and literary association. But 'heritage cinema' is all too often discussed from literary (not cinematic) perspectives, and criticism of the films has long been overshadowed by the question of a film's fidelity (or lack of) to the original text. This volume of essays, reviews and interviews seeks to redress the balance, by examining the profitable but often antagonistic relationship between literature and film, representing both the view - and the critics of the view - that heritage cinema's elaborate aesthetics owe more to nostalgia than historical accuracy. In her challenging introduction to the volume, Ginette Vincendeau sketches the terms of the debate making a case for the genre as an important and often critically neglected form of popular cinema The latest in the series of Sight and Sound readers, Film/Literature/Heritage includes discussions of a wide selection of adaptations, from Shakespeare to William Burroughs, as well as interviews with the screenwriters and adaptors themselves, and covers all the major films from Elizabeth to LA Confidential, and directors from Martin Scorsese to Peter Greenaway. Contributors are drawn from the best industry, academic, literary and journalistic commentators on both sides of the Atlantic. They include Ian Christie, Richard Dyer, Lizze Francke, Andy Medhust, Claire Monk, Kim Newman and Amy Taubin.…

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER * THE INSPIRATION FOR THE HIT MOVIE STARRING MERYL STREEP AND ANNE HATHAWAY * DON'T MISS THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA 2, NOW IN THEATERS! "The degree to which The Devil Wears Prada has penetrated pop culture needs no explanation."--Vanity Fair A gloriously wicked story about the ultimate Boss from Hell and the deals we make with the devil to get to the top Andrea Sachs, a small-town girl fresh out of college, lands the job "a million girls would die for." Hired as the assistant to Miranda Priestly, the high-profile, fabulously successful editor of Runway magazine, Andrea finds herself in an office that shouts Prada! Armani! Versace! at every turn, a world populated by impossibly thin, heart-wrenchingly stylish women and beautiful men clad in fine-ribbed turtlenecks and tight leather pants that show off their lifelong dedication to the gym. With breathtaking ease, Miranda can turn each and every one of these hip sophisticates into a scared, whimpering child. Andrea is sorely tested each and every day--and often late into the night--with orders barked over the phone. She puts up with it all by keeping her eyes on the prize: a recommendation from Miranda that will get her a top job at any magazine of her choosing. As things escalate from the merely unacceptable to the downright outrageous, Andrea begins to realize that the job a million girls would die for may just kill her. And even if she survives, she has to decide whether or not it's worth the price of her soul.…

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. BY THE AUTHOR WHO BROUGHT YOU THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA AND THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA 2! "The Devil Wears Prada's Emily Charlton gets the spin-off she deserves" (Cosmopolitan) in the New York Times bestseller from Lauren Weisberger in which three women team up to bring a bad man down in the tony suburb of Greenwich, Connecticut. Welcome to Greenwich, Connecticut, where the lawns and the women are perfectly manicured, the Tito's and sodas are extra strong, and everyone has something to say about the infamous new neighbor. Let's be clear: Emily Charlton does not do the suburbs. After leaving Miranda Priestly, she's been working in Hollywood as an image consultant to the stars, but recently, Emily's lost a few clients. She's hopeless with social media. The new guard is nipping at her heels. She needs a big opportunity, and she needs it now. When Karolina Hartwell, a gorgeous former supermodel, is arrested, her fall from grace is merciless. Her senator-husband leaves her, her Beltway friends disappear, and the tabloids pounce. In Karolina, Emily finds her comeback opportunity. But she quickly learns Greenwich is a world apart and that this comeback needs a team approach. So it is that Emily, the scorned Karolina, and their mutual friend Miriam, a powerful attorney turned stay-at-home mom, band together to navigate the social land mines of suburban Greenwich and win back the hearts of the American public. Along the way, an unexpected ally emerges in one Miranda Priestly. With her signature wit, Lauren Weisberger offers an alluring look into a sexy, over-the-top world--and proves it's style and substance together that gets the job done. "A delicious sequel to The Devil Wears Prada.exploring what it's like to be a woman buffeted by conflicting messages about career, relationships, and motherhood" (The Washington Post), When Life Gives You Lululemons is "amazing novel about.truth, lies and how everyone is a little bit insecure" (Associated Press). "Fast-paced, funny, and gossipy, this is the must-have accessory for your beach bag" (PopSugar).…
