Imprint: Viking, 2001 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. In today's world, yesterday's methods just don't work. Veteran coach and ma nagement consultant David Allen recognizes that time management is useless the minute your schedule is interrupted; setting priorities isn't relevant when your e-mail is down; procrastination solutions won't help if your goal s aren't clear. Instead, Allen shares with readers the proven methods he ha s already introduced in seminars and at top organizations across the countr y. The key to Getting Things Done? Relaxation. Allen's premise is simple: our ability to be productive is directly proportional to our ability to relax. Only when our minds are clear and our thoughts are organized can we achieve stress-free productivity. His seamless system teaches us how to identify, track, and-most important-choose the next action on all our tasks, commitments, and projects and thus master all the demands on our time while unleashing our creative potential. The book's stylish, dynamic design makes it easy to follow Allen's tips, examples, and inspiration to achieve what we all seek-energy, focus, and relaxed control., Very Good/Very Good Stock number: RWARE0000038635.

Imprint: Harper Perennial, 2004 Allende was inspired to write this glimmering and audacious memoir of her l ife as a traveler, exile, and immigrant by an eerie overlaying of dates. Sh e lost a country, she writes, on Tuesday, September 11, 1973, when a milita ry coup brought down Chile's democratic government, then headed by Salvador Allende, a cousin of her father's. And she gained a country on Tuesday, Se ptember 11, 2001, when the terrorist attacks induced her to recognize her d eep allegiance to the U.S., her adopted land. Drawing on the profoundly flu ent storytelling skills and canniness that make her fiction so scintillatin g and her memoirs so powerful, Allende retraces her circuitous path from Sa ntiago circa 1940 to today's San Francisco, remembering her family and crit iquing her country with equal measures of nostalgia and pain, fury and humo r. She observes curtly that in her eccentric family "happiness was irreleva nt," but she saves her sharpest remarks for her dissection of the Chilean s ensibility, zestfully analyzing Chile's obsession with class, all-out machi smo, habitual hypocrisy, intolerance, conservatism, clannishness, and gloom iness. She claims that Chileans love bureaucracy, "states of emergency," fu nerals, and soap operas, and that, in the Chile of her youth, "intellectual scorn for women was absolute." Allende's conjuring of her "invented," or i maginatively remembered, country is riveting in its frankness and compassio n, and her account of why and how she became a writer is profoundly moving., Very Good+ Stock number: RWARE0000017283.

Greenville County, South Carolina, a wild, lush place, is home to the Boatwright family-rough-hewn men who drink hard and shoot up each other's trucks, and indomitable women who marry young and age all too quickly. At the heart of this astonishing novel is Ruth Anne Boatwright, known simply as Bone, a South Carolina bastard with an annotated birth certificate to tell the tale. Observing everything with the mercilessly keen eye of a child, Bone finds herself caught in a family triangle that will test the loyalty of her mother, Anney. Her stepfather, Daddy Glen, calls Bone "cold as death, mean as a snake, and twice as twisty," yet Anney needs Glen. At first gentle with Bone, Daddy Glen becomes steadily colder and more furious-until their final, harrowing encounter, from which there can be no turning back., Very Good Stock number: RWARE0000038550.

Imprint: Dutton Adult, 1995 A highly collectible first edition/printing, a tight clean copy, protected in a new brodart wrapper, no inscriptions or markings, not price clipped an ex-library or a book of the month club edition; (SIGNED BY THE AUTHOR) Allison's much-praised novel Bastard Out of Carolina was inspired by her childhood in Greenville, S.C., but in this memoir, adapted from a performance piece, she cuts even closer to the bone. "We don't have a family Bible?" the author's fourth-grade self asks her aunt. "Child, some days we don't even have a family," comes the response. If Allison suffered horrors, notably rape by her stepfather when she was five, she has transmuted pain into stories, gaining control with maturity. Indeed, her title prefaces several hard-won aphorisms she uses to counterpoint her memories: "No one is as hard as my uncles had to pretend to be." Her mother was a beauty, as was her sister, but Dorothy, smart and plain, felt a legacy of ugliness, one she shook off slowly as her feminism and her heart led her to lesbian relationships, often painful, finally rewarding. She is now, in her 40s, a new mother, and her stories?and life?are a triumph of love over cruelty. Read it aloud and savor the rhythms., Very Good/Very Good Stock number: RWARE0000007952.

But as the new era b egins, planetary interests threaten to disrupt this time of relative peace, and Luke is plagued with visions of an approaching darkness. Evil is risin g again-out of the best intentions-and it looks as if the legacy of the Sky walkers may come full circle. Honor and duty will collide with friendship a nd blood ties as the Skywalker and Solo clans find themselves on opposing s ides of an explosive conflict with potentially devastating repercussions fo r both families, for the Jedi order, and for the entire galaxy. When a mission to uncover an illegal missile factory on the planet Adumar e nds in a violent ambush-from which Jedi Knight Jacen Solo and his protégé a nd cousin, Ben Skywalker, narrowly escape with their lives-it's the most al arming evidence yet that sparks of political unrest are threatening to igni te into total rebellion. The governments of numerous worlds are chafing und er the strict regulations of the Galactic Alliance, and diplomatic efforts to enforce compliance are failing. Fearing the worst, the Alliance readies a preemptive display of military might in a bid to bring the rogue worlds i n line before an uprising erupts. The designated target of this exercise: p lanet Corellia-renowned for the brash independence and renegade spirit that have made its favorite son, Han Solo, a legend.

The X-wing fighter pilots have earned their reputation as the Rebel Allianc e's ultimate strike force by overwhelming enemies with their rapid-fire ass aults. But now they are about to embark on a diplomatic mission that will p rove to be even more hazardous than all-out combat.... The neutral world of Adumar has decided to pick a side in the war to control the galaxy. Delegates from both the New Republic and the Empire have been invited to Adumar, and each camp will be given a chance to plead its government's case. But there is one small catch: since the Adumari prize military skill above all else, they insist that both delegations be composed exclusively of fighter pilots. For pilot Wedge Antilles and his company, it's an unfamiliar exercise in diplomacy--and one that's filled with unexpected peril. For once they arrive, the X-wing pilots are challenged by Adumar's fierce warriors and attacked by Imperial assassins bent on eliminating all competition. But these challenges pale in comparison to the threat posed by a rogue Republic agent...one who is determined to win Adumar's allegiance once and for all--even if it costs the X-wing pilots their lives., Near Fine Stock number: RWARE0000023508.

Yet they should be asking what the global economy will look l ike in the years to come-where will the long-term risks and opportunities a rise? These are the questions that Daniel Altman confronts in his provocati ve and indispensable book. The fate of the global economy, Altman argues, will be determined by deeper factors than those that move markets from moment to moment. His incisive a nalysis brings together hidden trends, societal pressures, and policy endga mes to make twelve surprising but logical predictions about the years ahead . And his forecasts for the future raise a pressing question for today: Wit h so many challenges awaiting us, are our political and economic institutio ns up to the task? Outrageous Fortunes tells which industries will grow, which economies will crumble, which investments will pay off, and where the next big crisis may occur.

Imprint: Penguin, 1989 Over 25 years ago, Kingsley Amis wrote TAKE A GIRL LIKE YOU, a comedy about a lusty young couple, Patrick and Jenny, each engaged with equal ardor in gaining an opposite goal -- he with getting her into bed, she with staying out of it. They both win. In DIFFICULTIES WITH GIRLS, Jenny and Patrick are back with us. They're old er, though not much wiser -- Jenny, devoted but aggrieved; Patrick, boozing and unfaithful. Each lives in a fantasyland projecting life through lenses not calibrated in this world. "To have said so much about the human condition with such wit and humor is an extraordinary achievement ...even for Kingsley Amis."

Imprint: Siddha Yoga Publications, 1996 A crisp clean softcover, no markings throughout: Why couldn't we be as detached from the thoughts that come and go in the mind as we are from the clouds that come and go in the sky? Clouds are many. They come and go. The sky is one, and remains unchanged. In the same way, thoughts are many; they come and go. There Witness is one and remains unchanged. The fact that we are not as detached from our thoughts as we are from the clouds is a habit of perception, not a necessity. The yogis tell us, change your perception, then you'll be free., Very Good Stock number: RWARE0000020533. ISBN: 9780911307474

Imprint: Doubleday, 1998 A tight clean first edition/printing, protected in a new brodart wrapper, n ot price clipped/ex library or a book of the month edition. "O my America, my new-found-land!" Mateo Renaldo Colombo (or Columbus, to g ive him his English name) might have written in his De re anatomica. It is no accident that Federico Andahazi draws a parallel between his Renai ssance hero, the anatomist Mateo Colombo, and the explorer Christopher Colu mbus. It is the conceit of his first novel, The Anatomist (beautifully tran slated from the Spanish by Alberto Manguel), that both made "equally moment ous and disturbing" discoveries. Every schoolchild can tell you what Columb us's was; less well known, perhaps, is that of his countryman and fellow "e xplorer". "Mateo's America is less distant and infinitely smaller than Chri stopher's; in fact, it's not much larger than the head of a nail." In short , Mateo Renaldo Colombo discovered the Amor Veneris, the clitoris. Andahazi makes much of this discovery, not to mention its discoverer: "The discovery of Mateo Colombo's America was, all things considered, an epic counterpointed by an elegy. Mateo Colombo was as fierce and heartless as Christopher. Like Christopher (to use an appropriate metaphor) he was a brutal colonizer who claimed for himself all rights to the discovered land, the female body." Certainly women readers will view this description with at least as much irony as Native Americans regard that other "discovery" of a land they had known about all along., Very Good/Very Good Stock number: RWARE0000007998.

And when he's or dered to guard prim and proper Bostonian Juliet Rose Astor Lowell, Beau dec ides to get himself unassigned from this latest round of babysitting duty b y exposing the prudish lady to the rather uncivilized side of life in the F rench Quarter. What good old Beau doesn't know is that a passionate woman exists under Jul iet's buttoned-down exterior, and Beau's ultra-macho treatment only unleash es her wild side. Juliet is fascinated by the seamy joints Beau drags her t o, and she's also intrigued and aroused by the sexual innuendoes designed t o anger her. It isn't long before Beau is having way too much fun with the woman he wanted to ditch, and Juliet is craving the handsome Southerner in ways she never imagined. And while the two attempt to dismiss the threat to her life, the danger is very real. When someone takes a shot at Juliet, Be au starts to take his bodyguard duties very seriously, while Juliet struggl es to deal with the fact that someone wishes her harm.
