Imprint: Riverhead Hardcover, 1998 A highly collectible first edition, protected in a new brodart wrapper "Personality, in our sense, is a Shakespearean invention, and is not only S hakespeare's greatest originality but also the authentic cause of his perpe tual pervasiveness." So Harold Bloom opines in his outrageously ambitious S hakespeare: The Invention of the Human. This is a titanic claim. But then t his is a titanic book, wrought by a latter-day critical colossus--and befor e Bloom is done with us, he has made us wonder whether his vision of Shakes peare's influence on the whole of our lives might not be simply the sober t ruth. Shakespeare is a feast of arguments and insights, written with engagi ng frankness and affecting immediacy. Bloom ranges through the Bard's plays in the probable order of their composition, relating play to play and char acter to character, maintaining all the while a shrewd grasp of Shakespeare 's own burgeoning sensibility. It is a long and fascinating itinerary, and one littered with thousands of sharp insights. Listen to Bloom on Romeo and Juliet: "The Nurse and Mercutio, both of them audience favorites, are nevertheless bad news, in different but complementary ways." On The Merchant of Venice: "To reduce him to contemporary theatrical terms, Shylock would be an Arthur Miller protagonist displaced into a Cole Porter musical, Willy Loman wandering about in Kiss Me Kate." On As You Like It: "Rosalind is unique in Shakespeare, perhaps indeed in Western drama, because it is so difficult to achieve a perspective upon her that she herself does not anticipate and share." Bloom even offers some belated vocational counseling to Falstaff,, Fine/Near Fine Stock number: RWARE0000010929. ISBN: 9781573221207

Imprint: Oxford University Press, 2013 Americans often look back on Paris between the world wars as a charming esc ape from the enduring inequalities and reactionary politics of the United S tates. In this bold and original study, Brooke Blower shows that nothing co uld be further from the truth. She reveals the breadth of American activiti es in the capital, the lessons visitors drew from their stay, and the passi onate responses they elicited from others. For many sojourners-not just for the most famous expatriate artists and writers- Paris served as an importa nt crossroads, a place where Americans reimagined their position in the wor ld and grappled with what it meant to be American in the new century, even as they came up against conflicting interpretations of American power by ot hers. Interwar Paris may have been a capital of the arts, notorious for its pleasures, but it was also smoldering with radical and reactionary plots, suffused with noise, filth, and chaos, teeming with immigrants and refugees, communist rioters, fascism admirers, overzealous police, and obnoxious tourists. Sketching Americans' place in this evocative landscape, Blower shows how arrivals were drawn into the capital's battles, both wittingly and unwittingly. Americans in Paris found themselves on the front lines of an emerging culture of political engagements-a transatlantic matrix of causes and connections, which encompassed debates about "Americanization" and "anti- American" protests during the Sacco-Vanzetti affair as well as a host of other international incidents. Blower carefully depicts how these controversies and a backdrop of polarized European politics honed Americans' political, Very Good Stock number: RWARE0000029441. ISBN: 9780199927586

Imprint: Cleis Press, 2007 A crisp clean softcover, no markings throughout: Who can live without lust?

The spine remains undamaged. n "a fascinating examination of myth, literature, psychology, and anthropol ogy" (Newsday), National Book Award-winning poet and translator Robert Bly offers nothing less than a new vision of what it is to be a man. "Important and timely."--New York Times Book Review. Editorial Reviews From Publishers Weekly Bly redefines masculinity in a groundbreaking book that went to Copyright 1992 Reed Business Information, Inc. From Library Journal Bly, a major American poet who won a National Book Award in 1968, appears r egularly at workshops for men. The book's title refers to a mentor-like fig ure in a Grimms fairy tale who serves as Wild Man, initiator, and source of divine energy for a young man. This marvelous folktale of resonant, many-l ayered meanings is an apt choice for demonstrating the need for men to lear n from other men how to honor and reimagine the positive image of their mas culinity. Bly has always responded to Blakean and Yeatsian intensities, pre ferring to travel the path lit by mythic road signs. His intent here is to restore a lost heritage of emotional connection and expose the paltriness o f a provisional life. For many men capable of responding imaginatively to a llegory and myth this will be an instructive and ultimately exculpating boo k. Others may regard it as an inscrutable attempt, intuitive at best, to fi nd merit in male developmental anxieties.

What drives him and those he leads to hate a West t hat helped enrich and arm them? Bin Laden's name has been linked to a numbe r of incidents that have cost Americans their lives, including the bombing of the USS Cole in 2000 and the destruction of the American embassies in Ke nya and Tanzania in 1998. Now, he is linked to the recent catastrophic assa ults on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. Here is a comprehensive account of the rise of bin Laden. In meticulous det ail, world-renowned terrorism expert Yossef Bodansky uncovers the events in bin Laden's life that turned the once-promising engineering student into a cold-blooded leader of radical Islam. In the process, Bodansky reveals a c hilling story that is as current as today's headlines but as ancient as the Crusades-a story that transcends bin Laden and any other single man. This book is a sobering wake-up call. "This fascinating account of Osama bin Laden's war against America illustra tes the murky world of Islamic extremism and state sponsored terrorism." -Jeane J.

Bogner (To Die in Provence) follows the misadventures of charming lawyer Terry Brett from the 1960s to the present. Against his better judgment, Terry finds himself captivated by Allison Desmond, a beautiful, fearless young woman who was brought up in an orphanage and has led a gritty life on the edge of society. When their ill-fated romance ends, heartbroken Allison flees to India, while Terry moves to Southern California. There he marries elegant, sophisticated pediatrician Valerie Holland, who rebuilds his shattered self-esteem. But marital harmony is disrupted when Terry is summoned to his Pacific Northwest hometown to learn shocking news: Allison is back in AmericaAaccompanied by a child she says is his son. Torn by his love for two very different women, Terry decides to marry Allison under an assumed name and legitimize the boy, Sean. Thereafter, he divides his time between his two families until Valerie learns of his double life and the two wives confront Terry and each other. Forced by Valerie to make a commitment, he chooses her, and decides to let Sean think he has died. Terry's bigamy is exposed when, years later, Sean discovers the deception. Bogner's opening chapters are bogged down by detail, but all the threads are satisfyingly tied up in the novel's last half. To some readers, the novel may be an annoying male fantasy., Very Good+ Stock number: RWARE0000018261. ISBN: 9780812575569

Imprint: Vintage, 1998 Oprah Book Club® Selection, October 1998: On a violent, stormy winter night , a home birth goes disastrously wrong. The phone lines are down, the roads slick with ice. The midwife, unable to get her patient to a hospital, work s frantically to save both mother and child while her inexperienced assista nt and the woman's terrified husband look on. The mother dies but the baby is saved thanks to an emergency C-section. And then the nightmare begins: t he assistant suggests that maybe the woman wasn't really dead when the midw ife operated: Did she perform at least eight or nine cycles as my mother s aid, or four or five as Asa recalled?

But at some point within minutes of what my mother believed had been a stroke, after my mother concluded the cardiopulmonary resuscitation had failed to generate a pulse or a breath, she screamed for Asa and Anne t o find her the sharpest knife in the house. In Midwives, Chris Bohjalian c hronicles the events leading up to the trial of Sibyl Danforth, a respected midwife in the small Vermont town of Reddington, on charges of manslaughte r. It quickly becomes evident, however, that Sibyl is not the only one on t rial--the prosecuting attorney and the state's medical community are all an xious to use this tragedy as ammunition against midwifery in general; this particular midwife, after all, an ex-hippie who still evokes the best of th e flower-power generation, is something of an anachronism in 1981. Through it all, Sibyl, her husband, Rand, and their teenage daughter, Connie, attem pt to keep their family intact, but the stress of the trial-- and Sibyl's gr, Near Fine Stock number: RWARE0000001494.

Imprint: Crown, 2007 A crisp clean first edition, (as stated) no markings throughout: Best known for the provocative and powerful novel, Midwives (an Oprah Book Club® Selection), Chris Bohjalian writes beautiful and riveting fiction featuring what the San Francisco Chronicle dubbed "ordinary people in heartbreaking circumstances behaving with grace and dignity." In his new novel, The Double Bind, a literary thriller with references to (and including characters from) The Great Gatsby, Bohjalian takes readers on a haunting journey through one woman's obsession with uncovering a dark secret. We think Bohjalian fans will be thrilled with this compelling and unforgettable read, but just to be sure, we asked bestselling author Jodi Picoult to read The Double Bind and give us her take.

Imprint: Cambridge University Press, 1986 A clean softcover, no markings throughout, NOT an ex-lib book: The Cambridge Chaucer Companion contains a series of essays by internationally known Chaucer experts, designed to provide a challenging introduction to the poet. The collection is divided between pieces which concentrate squarely on one or more of Chaucer's major poems, identifying themes, styles, moods and tones, and pieces of wider scope which give more general information about Chaucer's literary sources and historical background, or study his experiments with style and structure over a range of poems, or set his works in the context of medieval genres and literary traditions. While introducing a work or works to the reader, these essays also adopt fresh and rigorous lines of critical enquiry which will encourage him or her to develop and place his or her own interpretations. Taken as a whole, the collection establishes a context for Chaucer, discusses the significance of his position within it, and applies to his poetry detailed and frequently innovative analysis. These three functions combine to provide what should become a standard work of reference for students as well as readers who already have some familiarity with Chaucer but wish to achieve a greater understanding of this major English poet and his oeuvre., Very Good Stock number: RWARE0000024215.

Imprint: Penguin Books, 1999 The bad old days of multiple-choice-test career counseling are over. It tak es more than a #2 pencil and a computer to find your life's work, as career consultant Laurence G. Boldt tells us in Zen and the Art of Making a Livin g, a hefty but lighthearted tome that will help you find yourself and your place in the world. Boldt is quite up-front about it, though: it's a long, hard journey to get there. But his uplifting prose and liberal doses of ins pirational quotes from wise men and women provide support for the weary tra veler. Indeed, in between learning how to find the kind of work that strike s the right chord for you, figuring out what skills and talents you'll need to succeed at it, and righteously persisting until you get your reward, yo u may find lapses and stumbling blocks you hadn't expected--but Boldt has s een them all and finds the right words at the right time to keep you moving . Like a traditional career book, Zen and the Art of Making a Living includ es résumé advice and worksheets for narrowing down and sticking with your g oals; however, it takes off from there to guide the reader on a quest for s piritual fulfillment through work, something you won't find elsewhere. This updated edition contains plenty of Internet-related information and other resources unavailable in 1990 and is invaluable for anyone concerned about his or her future in the world of work. --Rob Lightner, Very Good Stock number: RWARE0000038654.

Imprint: HarperOne, 1995 This compilation of experiences, thoughts, scholarly research, and, above a ll, the feelings of a woman at midlife amounts to a revelation. On pilgrima ge to sacred sites including Chartres, Glastonbury, and Iona, Bolen, a phys ician, Jungian analyst, and professor of clinical psychiatry, traces their histories and significance. She relates these places' earliest uses by soci eties with earth-based belief systems to the concept of key energy centers all about the globe, and she links her inner journey of the spirit to her p hysical travels and the primal knowledge of the sacred that women have expe rienced for thousands of years without naming it. This quest for the holy g rail involves more than a personal transformation; it is, she says, everywo man's secret, potential pathway to the roots of her strength and wisdom.

Imprint: Ten Speed, 2002 A crisp clean softcover, no markings throughout, not an ex-lib: For three decades Richard Nelson Bolles's annually updated and revised Para chute has been cheerfully advising people that the best way to find a job o r make a career change isn't to answer a job ad and/or send in a CV. That w ay, the statistical odds are heavily stacked against success. Instead he ad vocates a creative three-pronged approach. You are in charge so be proactiv e and sell yourself. First identify your talents (and of course you've got lots). Then work out where you would like to apply these transferable skill s. Lastly, decide how you will pursue organisations which interest you. The reafter it's down to your efforts: "Successful job hunting is a learned ski ll. You have to study it. You have to practice it. You have to master it, j ust like any new skill. And master it thoroughly because you'll need it all the rest of your life", says Bolles. An ordained Episcopal priest, Bolles was canon pastor of Grace Cathedral in San Francisco. Made redundant in 1968, he created another career by publishing the first edition of Parachute in 1971--then little more than a newsletter. Today it is published in 10 languages world-wide and bought by 20,000 people a month. It's an immensely detailed, friendly book whose attractive layout includes coloured fonts, nice historical sketches and lots of easy-to-read grids, charts and even the odd poem. Useful Internet site addresses abound. And although Parachute is American, most of Bolles's advice is just as applicable in Britain as in the US. Bolles evidently means to be inspirational and is. He's also down to earth. Once, Very Good+ Stock number: RWARE0000019837. ISBN: 9781580083416
