Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition. Stated First Edition. This is a rare signed copy. I found only one other for sale anywhere on the Internet. The signature, with an impersonal greeting, is on the half-title page ( 'Very best, Kate Simon' ). You can see the blue covers in the photos. They're very clean. The silver lettering on the spine is very bright. There is little to no wear, a little crinkling at the bottom edge of the spine. The edges and corners are in excellent shape. The page edges are perfectly clean. The book is square and very solidly bound from cover to cover with nicely tight pages and nicely tight covers as well. The inside covers and end papers are a light blue. They are perfectly clean and free of any wear. That seems like an accurate description of all the pages in the book. I'm scrolling through them and not finding any instances of creasing. There is one dark speck at the outer edge of one page, literally a speck. There are no markings. No attachments. And the author's signature is the only writing to be found anywhere in the book. The dust jacket is also in excellent condition. It's very clean. There are no tears. It has a little crinkling at the bottom edge of the spine. The flaps look terrific. The jacket is NOT price-clipped, not clipped at all.

From Publishers Weekly: 'A sequel to Bronx Primitive: Portraits in a Childhood, Simon's memoir is as image-rich and revealing as her distinguished travel books about Paris, London, etc. The author vivifies the people who figured in her life as a teenager: a disapproving father she escaped by means of low-paying jobs during the Depression; her spunky mother, an advocate of women's rights; radical intellectuals who encouraged her love of the arts. There is a great deal about Simon's sexual relations and the amatory experiences of friends, and about lesbian professors during her years at Hunter College. There are details on the author's living with a man, an almost unheard of arrangement during the 1930s. For the most part, this is the story of an eager young woman trying on various personalities by affecting outre costumes and airs until she arrived, almost imperceptibly, at "a second birth, after a long, erratic labor" during adolescence. In the moving, frequently funny events frankly detailed, readers discover the self-described "bright fantasist and loonywanderer" and understand why she was not quite lost in the mature woman.' From Library Journal: 'In A Wider World: Portraits in an Adolescence , Simon continues the autobiography she began in Bronx Primitive. Kate was a maverick; the daughter of Jewish immigrants in the Bronx in the 1930s, she rebelled against her overbearing father while still a young adolescent and virtually raised herself. She worked as a mother's helper for artistic Village families, summered at communistic summer colonies, explored Harlem, camped out with a boyfriend when she was 16. Through the wealth of experiences, Simon struggled to learn about herself trying on this and that image in vain adolescent posturing. An honest, dramatic picture of what it was like to be a certain adolescent at a certain place and time. Recommended.'. Signed by Author(s).

Condition: FINE. Limited, signed first edition. A fantasy novella - "a beast epic, a talking animal story in the vein of The Jungle Books and The Wind In The Willows; but this is no ordinary fable. The protagonist, Belius, is a minotaur, a wanderer in strange labryrinths of the mind and body, and his story features sex, drugs and a healthy dose of pyrotechnic metaphysical profundity. There's murder too, an instance of bestiality, and quite a few references to Dante's Inferno . .

Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition. This is a hardcover edition of Beveridge and Voluntary Action in Britain and the Wider British World. Edited by Melanie Oppenheimer and Nicholas Deakin. This edition is in near fine edition, with no foxing, bright and clean pages throughout. It is signed and inscribed by Melanie Oppenheimer "All the best Melanie Oppenheimer April 2011" The relationship between the state and the voluntary sector has changed significantly since 1948 when Beveridge's major report, Voluntary Action, was first published. Sixty years later, a group of historians analyse and reassess the impact of Beveridge's ideas about voluntary action for social advance in this timely volume. Using examples from the UK, Australasia and Canada, this book clearly articulates the importance and significance of Beveridge's ideas on voluntary action within an international context. With the emphasis of governments on the importance of the voluntary or 'third sector' and the development of policies and practices to enhance social capital, build civil society and engage communities, this book will be invaluable for those interested in how the third sector has evolved over time. It will be of interest to historians, social policy researchers, political theorists, economists and educationalists. -- . In 1948, Wiliam Beveridge's last major report, "Voluntary Action", was published. In this little remembered work, Beveridge, the father of the welfare state, sought out the middle ground between the state and the market. This book intends to re-evaluate and reassess the ideas contained within "Voluntary Action". Signed by Author(s).

"This paper must be considered as merely a survey since the region's railroad history cannot be thoroughly covered in the time available. Nor can the future be more than glimpsed since there are too many variables and unknowns. Perhaps this paper will stimulate further study, corrections and additions, and provide more ideas of alternatives for the future of railroading". Locale: Wisconsin--United States.
