Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. Minimal rubbing to top and bottom edges of binding. Minimal foxing on inside of covers. Mild rubbing, some curling to top and bottom of dust jacket. Signed and inscribed by Richard Moe on the first page as follows: "To ____ - I hope this helps with your p…lanning! Best wishes, Richard Moe 2/12/98." America's preservation movement came of age a generation ago, working to protect historic places from the destruction of urban renewal. Now preservationists are embroiled in the fight of their lives against urban sprawl--boundless development that devours the countryside and leaves older cities and towns to waste away in ruins. Never was this more clear than in 1994, when a band of historians, preservationists, and local citizens stopped the Walt Disney Company from developing a theme park amid historical battlefields and villages in Virginia's northern Piedmont region. In "Changing Places," Richard Moe and Carter Wilkie explore how America's historic communities are confronting sprawl: fragile towns throughout New England and the Midwest are defending themselves from corporate giants like Wal-Mart stores; community activists are building pride and hope in distressed neighborhoods in Pittsburgh and New Orleans by using preservation as a tool for revitalization; and, in the same way, cities such as Denver, Memphis, and Portland, Oregon, are breathing life back into their historic downtowns.

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very good. xiii, [1], 288 pages. Illustrations. Includes Acknowledgments, Preface, Notes, and Index. Chapters include The Fourth Battle of Manassas; The Misplacing of America; Bluff City; New Tools for Older Neighborhoods; The Revival of Mail Street; Reinventing Downtown; a…nd Preservation in the Age of Sprawl. Also includes Notes and Index. Signed by Richard Moe on the front free end paper. Richard Moe, author of The Last Full Measure, is president of the National Trust for Historic Preservation. Richard Palmer Moe (born November, 27 1936) is an American lawyer from Duluth, Minnesota. Following his graduation from Williams College (1959) and the University of Minnesota Law School (1966), Moe went on to a distinguished career in government, law, and historic preservation. In 1977, Moe served as Chief of Staff to the Vice President of the United States during Walter Mondale's term. He later served as Mondale's presidential campaign team in 1984. Moe also worked on Dick Gephardt's presidential bid (1988) and Michael Dukakis' presidential campaign (1988). Moe led the National Trust for Historic Preservation for over sixteen years (1993-2009), and succeeded at expanding its budget despite funding reductions from Congress. He battled Tom DeLay and the Disney Corporation, among others, in his quest to save America's leading historical sites, such as Manassas battlefield. Moe also guided the trust in its effort to preserve historic structures and sites in New Orleans, Louisiana following Hurricane Katrina. Carter Wilkie is a longtime preservationist and former White House speechwriter. Under Richard Moe's direction, the National Trust for Historic Preservation has become much more than a guardian of the nation's architectural treasures. Moe has fashioned it into an effective weapon to combat automobilistic chaos and urban sprawl, and to protect the nation's fundamental community structures, now threatened everywhere. As a result, the Trust today is surely the major popular force in the United States that focuses on architecture at its proper scale, which is that of the city as a whole, the built environment entire. A detailed look into the historic communities that are fighting against urban development also examines the New England towns and areas in the Midwest that are battling against large conglomerates such as Wal-Mart. Derived from a Kirkus review: An eloquent, convincing argument for the preservation of city centers in a time of ex- and suburbanization. Moe is a Civil War historian and president of the National Trust for Historic Preservation; Wilkie is a former White House speechwriter. Their talents mesh well in this survey, which warns of the dangers of `losing the physical manifestations of our historyâ"not just the great monuments but also the significant structures and entire neighborhoods that anchor our communities.' That loss has many causes, among them white flight and the relocation of downtown businesses to far-flung peripheries. When this happens, assert the authors, and when city residents' income drops with the evaporation of economic enterprise, the result is inevitably `a perpetual slum.' Such slums have been a long time in the building, but the authors lay particular blame on the legendary urban planner and superhighway builder Robert Moses, who `became the nation's most consulted expert on how to tear historic sections of cities apart to accommodate the automobile.' The perspective of Moe and Wilkie is resolutely urban and East Coast, but in advancing their call for an intelligent, admittedly expensive nationwide program of inner-city restoration, they also look westward to Denver and Portland, Ore., where, despite some Moses-era actions, downtowns have grown newly friendly to pedestrians and respectful of history. The authors also sound alarms over the likely fate of eastern cities like Pittsburgh, which, despite a massive commitment to downtown revitalization, has lost jobs and businesses and faces an ever-aging pop.

Hardcover. Condition: Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very good. Second Printing [stated]. xviii, 238 pages. Pages 237/238 has tears at the bottom, with no loss of text. Autographed copy sticker on front of the DJ. Author inscription that reads: "For Sarita Thank you for sharing the journey (and our neighborhood). Judy Kramer 5/22/…01". A journalist chronicles her experiences with Medicare, lawyers, and basic human emotions as she helps her parents move into an assisted-living facility. Judy Kramer is a journalist who writes for The Gazette newspaper in the Washington, D.C., area. Largely as a result of her columns about her parents' aging, Kramer has become a de facto public advocate for education about, and improvement of, elder care in this country. Derived from a Kirkus review: Based on the Gazette columns she wrote, Washington, D.C., journalist Kramer offers a moving and informative guide to a journey more and more Americans with aging parents must eventually take as they help them navigate their way through the end zone. Kramer began writing about her parents when she realized that they needed her help. Both in their 80s, their increasing health problems meant that they could no longer live alone, and the author had to help them move into a nursing home. In sections entitled "Afternoon," "Evening," "Night," "Dawn," and "Morning," she describes the grim realities as well as the surprisingly joyous rewards of having to become your own parents' parent. At a time in life when her own relationship with her children was changingâ"she is married and has three adult childrenâ"she perceptively notes the ways these changes conflicted and imposed new demands on the family, her marriage, and her professional life. She also describes the practical help she gave her parents by paying bills, dealing with Medicaid, buying favorite toiletries, and (for Mother's Day) making a much-appreciated large-print telephone book for her mother, who was having difficulty reading. But she inevitably had to confront emotionally freighted issues as her parents' health continued to decline and she had to discuss funeral arrangements and living wills with them. She frankly acknowledges how old resentments and disappointments about her relations with them continued to distress her, but she also describes loving and close moments she shared with them that eased her grieving when they died and helped her to move on. A must-read book, especially for those embarking on the same journey Kramer so truthfully and helpfully records. Amy Kramer (Author photograph) and Bob Roller (Fro (illustrator).

Hardcover. Condition: Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Poor. 1st Edition. First Edition (first printing). A presentation copy, inscribed by the author at the head of the front free endpaper : "To Nuala with love from David. Feb 1975" (the recipient presumably being his friend Nuala O'Faolain, the Irish journalist, author and feminis…t icon). 8vo. 234pp. Orange boards lettered in gold at the spine. Some quite light soiling to the boards, and a little bruising to the backstrip ends. Top edge dust soiled and lightly spotted, and with a trace of further light spotting to the free endpapers. Quite a nice crips copy in quite grubby, soiled, nicked, chipped and stained dust wrapper, with a lengthy tear to the front panel front flap fold. Not the nicest copy for sure and for some reason this book invariably has a fairly rotten wrapper these days but quite desirable with his contemporary presentation inscription. Winner of the Hawthornden Prize. The first volume of 'The Campus Trilogy', which was completed with 'Small World' (1984) and 'Nice Work' (1988). Inscribed by Author(s).

1st edition. Hardcover. Excellent cloth, extremely clean pages and endpapers, no marks or foxing, in a fine dustjacket, with no fade to the spine as is common. Laid in is a card signed by the author. This copy has two labels on the lower front endpaper, one of Clare Degener of the Sterling Lord Agency in New York who represented… David Lodge in the USA, the other of Otto Plaschkes, a British fim producer who, just before his death in 1975, had optioned the book for a Hollywood production. Two interesting associations, plus the author-signed card and the unfaded spine, make this a unique first impression of Lodge's scarcest novel, hardly ever found in such superior condition. The first of Lodge's three novels satirising academic life, winner of the 1975 Hawthornden Prize.
