To his credit, most of the essays in this collecti on are quite witty, and he doesn't sink to mean- spirited ideological blath er. Included are pieces published in the New Yorker, Esquire, the Wall Stre et Journal, and other publications. Apart from the humorous essays, Buckley 's ruminations on why he didn't serve in Vietnam provide thought-provoking commentary on his generation's defining event., VG+/VG+ Stock number: RWARE0000005537.

Imprint: Knopf, 2006 A copy that has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Bill Buford-author of the highly acclaimed best-selling Among the Thugs-had long thought of himself as a reasonably comfortable cook when in 2002 he f inally decided to answer a question that had nagged him every time he prepa red a meal: What kind of cook could he be if he worked in a professional ki tchen? When the opportunity arose to train in the kitchen of Mario Batali's three-star New York restaurant, Babbo, Buford grabbed it. Heat is the chro nicle-sharp, funny, wonderfully exuberant-of his time spent as Batali's "sl ave" and of his far-flung apprenticeships with culinary masters in Italy. In a fast-paced, candid narrative, Buford describes the frenetic experience of working in Babbo's kitchen: the trials and errors (and more errors), hu miliations and hopes, disappointments and triumphs as he worked his way up the ladder from slave to cook. He talks about his relationships with his ki tchen colleagues and with the larger-than-life, hard-living Batali, whose s tory he learns as their friendship grows through (and sometimes despite) ki tchen encounters and after-work all-nighters. Buford takes us to the restaurant in a remote Appennine village where Batali first apprenticed in Italy and where Buford learns the intricacies of handmade pasta . . . the hill town in Chianti where he is tutored in the art of butchery by Italy's most famous butcher, a man who insists that his meat is an expression of the Italian soul . . . to London, where he is instructed in the preparation of game by, Very Good/Very Good Stock number: RWARE0000032636.

Imprint: Palgrave Macmillan, 2003 A highly collectible first edition/printing, protected in a new brodart wra pper, this not an ex-lib or a BOTMC edition. This encyclopedic, riveting study of the Hollywood blacklist's impact follows the careers of targeted individuals to explore the blacklist's effects on the arts in America and Europe in the last half-century. As Buhle and Wagner (coauthors of Radical Hollywood) demonstrate, expulsion from the mainstream took these artists and their crafts in new directions. Directors like Joseph Losey and screenwriters like Norma and Ben Barzman fled to Europe to work, where aesthetics like neorealism and the subversion of traditional genres (e.g., the western into the "spaghetti western") opened new modes of expression. Many blacklisted artists who didn't emigrate started working in New York's television industry, which was eager for quick, low-priced talent. Thus, as Hollywood restricted itself to "safe" topics, TV started exploring themes of "the outsider" (Maverick, The Fugitive), multiculturalism (The Dick Van Dyke Show) and social justice (The Defenders). By the late 1970s, "the subtle articulation of politics as ethical sentiment" was now "the very oxygen of liberal television." Besides sitcoms and kids' shows, leftists went into B movies, particularly science fiction and horror genres, where themes of human mutation, nuclear holocaust and alien invasion served as (sometimes clunky) vehicles for political messages. The authors conclude with in- depth looks at several blacklistees, including Carl Foreman, Jules Dassin, Dalton Trumbo and Lillian Hellman. Still, is it all just history, as mainstream Hollywood recites, Fine/Fine Stock number: RWARE0000012582. ISBN: 9781403961440

A manual for opening the doors of perception and directly engaging the inte lligence of the Natural World • Provides exercises to directly perceive and interact with the complex, li ving, self-organizing being that is Gaia • Reveals that every life form on Earth is highly intelligent and communica tive • Examines the ecological function of invasive plants, bacterial resistance to antibiotics, psychotropic plants and fungi, and the human species In Plant Intelligence and the Imaginal Realm, Stephen Harrod Buhner reveals that all life forms on Earth possess intelligence, language, a sense of I and not I, and the capacity to dream. He shows that by consciously opening the doors of perception, we can reconnect with the living intelligences in Nature as kindred beings, become again wild scientists, nondomesticated exp lorers of a Gaian world just as Goethe, Barbara McClintock, James Lovelock, and others have done. For as Einstein commented, "We cannot solve the prob lems facing us by using the same kind of thinking that created them." Buhner explains how to use analogical thinking and imaginal perception to directly experience the inherent meanings that flow through the world, that are expressed from each living form that surrounds us, and to directly initiate communication in return. He delves deeply into the ecological function of invasive plants, bacterial resistance to antibiotics, psychotropic plants and fungi, and, most importantly, the human species itself.

A bum off the road brings in a gypsy and his wife and we talk . . . . drink half the night. A long distance operator from Newburgh, N.Y. sends me money. She wants me to give up drinking beer and to eat well. I hear from a madman who calls himself 'King Arthur' and l ives on Vine Street in Hollywood and wants to help me write my column.

Imprint: Virgin Books, 2008 These mad immortal stories, now surfaced from the literary underground, hav e addicted legions of American readers, even though the high literary estab lishment continues to ignore them. In Europe, however (particularly in Germ any, Italy, and France where he is published by the great publishing houses ), he is critically recognized as one of America's greatest realist writers . "Collections such as The Most Beautiful Woman in Town (1983) . . . showcase Bukowski's impressive narrative and creative abilities in stories that mos t often take place in bars and dingy apartments but are not simply about se x and alcohol. They're about staying alive in a world where the only choice for the majority of us is to face a firing squad in an office every day-th e post office, in Bukowski's case-or maintain a commitment to creativity as we struggle to pay for food and a meager place to live." -Adam Perry, Sant a Fe Reporter Charles Bukowski was born in Andernach, Germany on August 16, 1920, the only child of an American soldier and a German mother. At the age of three, he came with his family to the United States and grew up in Los Angeles. He attended Los Angeles City College from 1939 to 1941, then left school and moved to New York City to become a writer. His lack of publishing success at this time caused him to give up writing in 1946 and spurred a ten-year stint of heavy drinking.

Imprint: Viking, 1995 Michelangelo Buonarroti (1475-1564) was a sculptor, architect, and painter of genius and a poet and writer of great accomplishment. He was born in Cap rese, where his father, a Florentine nobleman, was the visiting magistrate. He was apprenticed in Florence to the painter Ghirlandaio in 1488, and the reafter learned the elements of fresco technique and developed a lifelong i nterest in sculpture. His talent brought him to the attention of Lorenzo de ' Medici and other patrons in Florence and Rome. In his lifetime he was rec ognized as the greatest living artist, and created a succession of masterpi eces of sculpture, fresco painting, and architecture. In all his work, Mich elangelo impressed his contemporaries as a forceful personality, a divine g enius endowed with terribilita, or intense emotional power. Often portrayed as a solitary and austere figure, he in fact enjoyed a remarkable range of friendships, and those he loved and hated, served or resisted, are present ed here, from his family and fellow artists to the popes, nobles, and ruler s of Europe. In this new life of Michelangelo, George Bull places him firml y in the context of his time. He worked during three-quarters of a century of tremendous change in European society, and as an artist was supremely re sponsive to the hopes, fears, and values of his culture, which he both exem plified and defied., Very Good/Very Good Stock number: RWARE0000028688.

Imprint: Black Swan, 2006 John Burdett's extraordinary head-spinning new novel featuring Sonchai Jitp leecheep, Thai Buddhist detective extraordinaire Bangkok, rich in history a nd spirituality, crowded with temples, markets and canals, is also a city s hrouded in shadows. Polluted, corrupt, infamous as the sex capital of the w orld, it is a place where wealth, poverty and unimaginable evil walk hand i n hand. In District 8, the underbelly of Bangkok's crime world, a dramatica lly mutilated body is found in a hotel bedroom. It looks bad: the corpse - who's been flayed - is CIA. And it gets worse when the self-confessed murde rer is the beautiful Chanya - the best 'working girl' at The Old Man's Club , a brothel owned jointly by Sonchai's mother and his boss, Police Colonel Vikorn. Alerted by Sonchai, Vikorn quickly concocts a cover-up that involve s an Al-Qaeda terrorist cell located in a southern Thai border-town where, since 9/11, the CIA has also had a covert presence. So far so good: but the truth will be harder to come by, and it will require Sonchai to find an ev er more delicate balance between his ambition (western) and his Buddhism (e astern), while he runs the gamut of Bangkok's drug-dealers, prostitutes, ba d cops, even worse military generals, and the pitfalls of his own melting h eart. Crowded with astonishing characters, redolent with the authentic, hal lucinogenic atmosphere of Bangkok, with needle-sharp observations about the clash of cultures when East meets West, this is a literary thriller like n o other., Good Stock number: RWARE0000033346.

Imprint: Vintage Crime/Black Lizard, 2004 A thriller with attitude to spare, Bangkok 8 is a sexy, razor-edged, often darkly hilarious novel set in one of the world's most exotic cities. Witnessed by a throng of gaping spectators, a charismatic Marine sergeant is murdered under a Bangkok bridge inside a bolted-shut Mercedes Benz. Among the witnesses are the only two cops in the city not on the take, but within moments one is murdered and his partner, Sonchai Jitpleecheep-a devout Buddhist and the son of a Thai bar girl and a long-gone Vietnam War G.I.-is hell-bent on wreaking revenge. On a vigilante mission to capture his partner's murderer, Sonchai is begrudgingly paired with a beautiful FBI agent named Jones and captures her heart in the process. In a city fueled by illicit drugs and infinite corruption, prostitution and priceless art, Sonchai's quest for vengeance takes him into a world much more sinister than he could have ever imagined., Very Good Stock number: RWARE0000035526.

Imprint: Abacus Books (Sphere), 1985 It is a trait of fiction that its creations are sometimes immortal, capable of surviving multiple deaths. Using this slight of hand, Burgess thankfull y resurrects his greatest comedic foil with the help of William Shakespeare . The final Enderby novel could fit into two places in Burgess’ library, be ing both a modern day comedy and a Shakespearean fantasy. The style is far removed from the previous three (or two) Enderby works, with the vindictive ness and impotence of Enderby replaced with kindheartedness and (misspent) vitality., Very Good Stock number: RWARE0000002925.
