Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Hardcover. 8vo. Published by Alfred A. Knopf, New York. 1990. 105 pgs. First Edition/First Printing. DJ has light shelf-wear present to the DJ extremities. Bound in cloth boards with titles present to the spine. Boards have light shelf-wear present to the extremities. No ownership marks present. Text is clean and free of marks. Binding tight and solid. "Nothing stays put," writes Clampitt in a poem from her fourth collection: "All that we know, that we're/ made of, is motion." It is against this motion, particularly the westward movement that seems to drive the fates of both humans and wildlife, that the poet holds her "frail wick of Metaphor." But given Clampitt's well-established reputation for opulent language and rich, almost heady, description, the claim to frailty is disingenuous indeed. Though many poems rely on the now-familiar wildflower litanies that typify much current poetry, Clampitt's interest in transplants ("what had been alien begins/ as it alters, to grow as though it were indigenous") adds an extra dimension to a book that grows gradually stranger as the reader's imagination travels through it. ; 6.25 X 0.75 X 9 inches; 105 pages.…

Binding tight and solid. This 1964 book by Dunham surveyed the history of Western philosophy, beginning with the Egyptian heretical pharaoh Akhnaton, proceeding through Socrates and concluding with the great U. S. Socialist Eugene Debs. Along the way, Dunham managed to cover such diverse figures as Jesus of Nazareth, Pelagius, the Protestant Reformers, thinkers of the Enlightenment, Charles Darwin, and Karl Marx, to name just a few. Dunham portrayed the history of Western thought as being characterized by a dialectical struggle between the Orthodox and the Heretics, between Authority and Truth. He defined Heresies as "those ideas that disrupt an existing society in such a way as to change, or threaten to change, the distribution of power within it." Thus, he sought to relate changes in human thought to changes in societies. For Barrows Dunham, the great intellectual struggles of human thought are always intimately related to the struggles for power that exist in society.; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 484 pages.…

Text is clean and free of marks. Binding tight and solid. "Rejecting the familiar slave-to-glands/dirty-mind images of post-puberty, Millhauser's claustrophobic second novel may carve closer to the truth of adolescence; perhaps it's precisely the asexual, the antisexual, that seals the cloister of those difficult years. The snug sensations of seeing a friend's room for the first time, of showing off a stamp collection, of being sick and staying home from school--for Arthur Grumm, the sitter for this Romantic portrait, these are precious, heightened rites. His operative words are "boring, "sullen," "langorous," "brown, " and any sentence that can begin with "O!" is peachy with him. Along with his friends--the upright William, the maudit Philip, the "phantom" Eleanor--Arthur wiles away Connecticut summers with either Monopoly or; 1.4 x 8.5 x 6 Inches; 373 pages.…
