Paperback. Condition: Fine. xvii, 300 pages, illustrations; 23 cm. Tight, clean copy. "This is the story of a rare sort of American genius, a young girl from Camden, Maine, who used her pen as a key to open doors to the wider world. Raised in a female, theatrics-loving household, the sensitive child harbored a talent for words, music, and drama and an inexorable desire to be loved. When Edna St. Vincent Millay was twenty, her poetry would make her famous; at thirty she would be loved by readers the world over. She was widely considered to be the most seductive woman of her age. Few men could resist her, and many women also fell under her spell. From the publication of her first poems until the scandal over Fatal Interview twenty years later, gossip about the poet's liberated lifestyle prompted speculation about who might be the real subject of her verses. With a poet's insight, Daniel Mark Epstein re-creates the events and ideas that led to Millay's precocious masterpiece 'Renascence,' published when she was just nineteen. His detective work exposes the affair between the young poet and the middle-aged editor Arthur Hooley, who encouraged her sexual adventures at Vassar. Epstein has also discovered love letters from the poet George Dillon illuminating the romance that threatened Millay's marriage, and a cache of correspondence concerning the poet's surprising obsession and success with thoroughbred horse racing." - Publisher.

Number line complete 1 3 5 7 9 10 8 6 4 2 -- the first printing. Boards resist opening past 60 degrees -- "as new," although with black remainder marks to both top and bottom page edges. Galvin, a poet, divides his time between Iowa City, where he teaches at the University of Iowa Writers' Workshop, and his ranch near The Siding, Wyoming. In this offering, a real estate hustler sells the dream of owning 40 acres with mountain views, without mentioning water or mineral rights, or the fact the properties are inaccessible in the winter when it snows. Irrigation ditches maintained for a hundred years to make land fertile are abandoned when it becomes uneconomical to produce hay on such small parcels -- whereupon the wetlands dry out and the soil blows away. 258 pp.

Octavo, blue and white boards (hardcover), gilt letters, 250 pp. Near Fine in a Fine dust jacket. From dust jacket: Twenty-five years ago David Petersen and his wife, Caroline, pulled up stakes, trading Laguna Beach, California, for a snug hand-built cabin in the wilderness. Today he knows that mountain land as intimately as anyone ever has known his family, his lover, or his own true self. He has become so attuned to his environment, as this memoir reveals, that when a dead twig snaps, he knows what stepped on it, how much it weighed, and what its intentions were. Petersen conflates a quarter century into the adventures of four high-country seasons, tracking the rigors of survival from the snowmelt that announces the arrival of spring to the decline and death of autumn and winter that will establish the fertile ground needed for next year's rebirth. The reciprocity of nature is apparent: the same impulse that governs the flight of elk or bear also governs the predator's (including our species') impulse of pursuit. In the past we listened to Henry David Thoreau or Aldo Leopold;; today it is Petersen's turn. His observations are lyrical, scientific, and from the heart. He reinforces Thoreau's dictum: "In wildness is the preservation of the earth." In prose rich with mystery and soul, his words are a plea for the survival of the remnant wilderness.

"As formal technique and rigorous training continue to fall away, art has become an approach to living. As the author says, 'the lives of contemporary artists are today so integral to what they make that the two cannot be considered in isolation.' Among the artists profiled are Jeff Koons and Damien Hirst, reigning heirs of deliberately outrageous art that feeds off the allegedly corrupting influences of capitalist glut and entertainment; Matthew Barney of the pregenital obsessions; Cindy Sherman, who manages multiple transformations as she disappears into her own work; and Julian Schnabel, who has forged a second career as award-winning film director. Tomkins shows that the making of art remains among the most demanding jobs on earth." - Publisher. Size: 8vo.

Churchill was driven by a belief that the English were a superior race, whose goals went beyond individual interests to offer an enduring good to the entire world. But there is also the Churchill who frequently inveighed against human rights, nationalism, and constitutional progress- the imperialist who could celebrate racism and believed India was unsuited to democracy. Richard Toye demonstrates how the statesman evolved and challenges the reader to understand his need to reconcile the demands of conscience with those of political conformity. Drawing on newly released documents and an uncanny ability to separate the facts from the overblown reputation, Toye provides the first comprehensive analysis of Churchill's relationship with the Empire." - Publisher.

Octavo, black & gold boards (hardcover), gilt letters, 339 pp. Fine in a Fine dust jacket. From dust jacket: At last, the full story of the Pearl Harbor attack -- a groundbreaking and authoritative reappraisal of the pivotal event that thrust an isolationist nation into war. For sixty years, myths about Pearl Harbor have proliferated. One oft-repeated tale has President Roosevelt so intent on drawing the nation into World War II that he was willing to sacrifice the Pacific Fleet. Another equally untrue but even more tenacious explanation -- the "at dawn they slept" scenario -- identifies military incompetence at Pearl Harbor as the reason behind the Japanese tactical victory. After six years of intense research, naval historian Michael Gannon has finally separated fact from fiction to re-create the dramatic events surrounding that fateful December morning when more than 2,400 Americans were killed, eighteen U.S. warships sunk or heavily damaged, and 150 aircraft destroyed. Drawing on largely untapped U.S. and Japanese primary sources -- including overlooked or unknown military orders, code intercepts, aide-memoire, eyewitness interviews, and private correspondence -- the author builds a stunning narrative that penetrates a smoke screen of cover-ups, top-level military misdirections, and faulty diplomatic decisions going back to Japan's invasion of China in 1937. We come to understand the paradox that Admiral Yamamoto faced once the architect of this bold strike recognized that a tactical victory at Pearl Harbor would lead inevitably to Japan's defeat. Gannon reveals why the shifting positions of the State Department placed the Pacific Fleet -- then no match for the Japanese carriers and aircraft -- in harm's way. We learn who was responsible for the ambiguous and misleading warnings delivered to Pearl Harbor months earlier, and why Washington was willing to risk thousands of lives rather than the security of code intercepts when it learned that a Pacific strike was coming. We watch in heartbreaking despair as the "warning alert" reaches Oahu after the last attacking plane has departed. Even so, Kimmel's ill-equipped and surprised forces were combat ready, his men heroic. Beyond Washington's inattention and derelictions, there is Navy Secretary Franklin Knox's bland assessment of the attack: "Pearl was not in a state of readiness." Within ten days a kangaroo court, the Roberts Commission, was convened. Instructed in secret by Washington's top brass, the verdict was inevitable -- the Pacific commander in chief, who was denied reconnaissance aircraft and intelligence available to Washington, would take the fall for an unprepared nation. In Pearl Harbor Betrayed, Michael Gannon has accomplished what heretofore seemed impossible: He has set the record straight about the most exhaustively examined and debated event in our entire history.

"The Dalzells "shed welcome light on the endlessly fascinating subject of Americans and wealth.watching the fight over building their dream house, so well told by the Dalzells. You see the anxieties that dogged [the Rockefellers'] every step." - Newsweek "One hundred years ago America's richest man established a dynastic seat, the granite-clad Kykuit, high above the Hudson River. John D. Rockefeller, who detested ostentation, had something simple in mind - at least until his son, John Jr., and Junior's charming wife, Abby, injected classical taste and a spirit of noblesse oblige into the equation. Built to honor the senior Rockefeller, the house would also become the place above all others that anchored the family's memories and sense of itself. With memorable skill and insight, the authors take us inside the house and the family to observe how each new generation, often sharply at odds with one another, left its distinctive mark on the place." - from the rear outer cover "A fascinating story.this narrative in convincing throughout." - BloombergDOTcom "Captures the sense of aesthetics and noblesse oblige in the home's design." - Vogue "The authors do an excellent job of sketching the cultural milieu." - The New York Times Book Review "The perspective provided on America's gilded age and on one of its most noted families makes the book well worth reading." - The Indianapolis Star "Page-turning stuff." - Chicago Sun-Times.
