Imprint: Govardhan Hill Pub, 1994 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. Over the past two hundred years the scientific establishment has selectively ignored, suppressed, and forgotten some remarkable artifacts and bones that contradict the dominant views of human origins and antiquity. Evolutionary prejudices have served as a sort of informational "filtering" system that has left us with a radically incomplete set of facts for building our ideas about human origins. The Hidden History Of The Human Race is a call for change in today's arbitrarily rigid mindset. Deploying an unexpectedly great number of convincing facts, deeply illuminated with critical analysis, readers will find themselves compelled to rethink our understanding of human origins, identity, and destiny. The Hidden History Of The Human Race proves a literary excavation of a vast store of heretofore hidden knowledge in a journey that takes us across five continents to key archeological sites (some long forgotten, others the center of ongoing research). The Hidden History Of The Human Race is bound to ignite controversy, challenging as it does one of the most fundamental components of the modern scientific world view. meticulously researched and carefully written, The Hidden History Of The Human Race takes us to a crossroads of knowledge and invites us to take a courageous first step in a new direction. Controversial, thought provoking, and exceptionally well presented, Cremo and Thompson are to be congratulated with this astonishing contribution to anthropology and the theory of human evolution., Very Good/Very Good Stock number: RWARE0000008012.

Imprint: Harper, 2012 An instant classic in the vein of Jurassic Park, this boundary-pushing nove l has all the hallmarks of Michael Crichton's greatest adventures with its combination of pulse-pounding thrills, cutting-edge technology, and extraor dinary research Three men are found dead in a locked second- floor office in Honolulu.

Nanigen MicroTechnologies sends them to a mysteriou s laboratory in Hawaii, where they are promised access to tools that will o pen up a whole new scientific frontier. But this opportunity of a lifetime will teach them the true cost of existing at the cutting-edge! The group be comes prey to a technology of radical, unimaginable power and is thrust out into the teeming rainforest.

Imprint: Harper, 2009 A crisp clean first edition (as stated), no markings throughout, not an ex- lib: Crichton, who died in 2008, was known primarily for such high-tech thrillers as Jurassic Park and The Andromeda Strain. This new novel, found in manuscript form among his papers, will come as a bit of a surprise to many of his fans. It is, of all things, a pirate novel. Set in 1665, it tells the story of Captain Charles Hunter, a privateer who's hired by the governor of Jamaica's Port Royal to steal a Spanish galleon and its cargo of gold treasure. Don't expect to see Jack Sparrow in this story of pirates of the Caribbean, though: Crichton doesn't play his pirates for laughs. And this is no typical pirate adventure, either: it's actually a caper novel posing as a high-seas adventure. All the key caper-novel elements are here: the target, the mastermind, the plan, the motley crew, the ruthless villain, the gadgets, the twist, and the turncoat. Crichton keeps us in a constant state of suspense, never revealing quite what his hero, Captain Hunter, has up his sleeve, and the novel ends most unexpectedly. Pirate fans will love the book for its flashy characters and historical authenticity. Crime fans will enjoy the caper-novel structure and the way the author keeps them on their toes. If this really is Crichton's final book, it's a splendid send-off: something new, different, and daring., Near Fine/Near Fine Stock number: RWARE0000020095. ISBN: 9780061929373

Imprint: HarperCollins, 2009 From one of the best-loved authors of all time comes an irresistible advent ure of swashbuckling pirates in the New World, a classic story of treasure and betrayal. The Caribbean, 1665. A remote colony of the English Crown, the island of Ja maica holds out against the vast supremacy of the Spanish empire. Port Roya l, its capital, is a cutthroat town of taverns, grog shops, and bawdy house s. In this steamy climate there's a living to be made, a living that can end s wiftly by disease -- or by dagger. For Captain Charles Hunter, gold in Span ish hands is gold for the taking, and the law of the land rests with those ruthless enough to make it. Word in port is that the galleonEl Trinidad, fresh from New Spain, is await ing repairs in a nearby harbor. Heavily fortified, the impregnable harbor i s guarded by the bloodthirsty Cazalla, a favorite commander of the Spanish king himself. With backing from a powerful ally, Hunter assembles a crew of ruffians to infiltrate the enemy outpost and commandeerEl Trinidad, along with its fortune in Spanish gold. The raid is as perilous as the bloodiest tales of island legend, and Hunter will lose more than one man before he ev en sets foot on foreign shores, where dense jungle and the firepower of Spa nish infantry stand between him and the treasure. Pirate Latitudesis Michael Crichton at his best: a rollicking adventure tale pulsing with relentless action, crackling atmosphere, and heart-pounding suspense., Good Stock number: RWARE0000036288.

Imprint: Alfred A. Knopf, 1985 A crisp clean first edition (as stated) , no markings throughout, not an ex -lib. A young American model is murdered in the corporate boardroom of Los Angeles's Nakomoto Tower on the new skyscraper's gala opening night. Murdered, that is, unless she was strangled while enjoying sadomasochistic sex that went too far. Nakomoto, a Japanese electronics giant, tries to hush up the embarrassing incident, setting in motion a murder investigation that serves Crichton ( Jurassic Park ) as the platform for a clever, tough-talking harangue on the dangers of Japanese economic competition and influence-peddling in the U.S. Divorced LAPD lieutenant Peter Smith, who has custody of his two-year-old daughter, and hard-boiled detective John Connor, who says things like "For a Japanese, consistent behavior is not possible," pursue the killer in a winding plot involving Japan's attempt to gain control of the U.S. computer industry. Although Crichton's didactic aims are often at cross-purposes with his storytelling, his entertaining, well-researched thriller cannot be easily dismissed as Japan-bashing because it raises important questions about that country's adversarial trade strategy and our inadequate response to it. He also provides a fascinating perspective on how he thinks the Japanese view Americans--as illiterate, childish, lazy people obsessed with TV, violence and aggressive litigation., Near Fine/Near Fine Stock number: RWARE0000019664.

Imprint: Ballantine Books, 1988 Jurassic Park author Michael Crichton is possibly the best science teacher for the masses since H.G. Wells, and Sphere, his thriller about a mysteriou s spherical spaceship at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean, is classic Cricht on. A group of not-very-complex characters (portrayed in the film by Sharon Stone, Dustin Hoffman, Samuel L. Jackson, and Queen Latifah) assemble to s olve a cleverly designed roller coaster of a mystery while attempting (with mixed success) to avoid sudden death and expounding (much more successfull y) on the latest, coolest scientific ideas, including the existence of blac k holes. Somehow, Crichton manages to convey the complicated stuff in utter ly simplistic prose, making him, as his old pal Steven Spielberg puts it, " the high priest of high concept." Yet there is more to Crichton than scienc e and big-ticket show biz. He is also, as any reader of his startling memoi r Travels knows, a bit of a mystic--he is entirely open to notions spouted by spoon-bending psychics that most science writers would scorn. Sphere is not only a gratifying sci-fi suspense tale; it also reflects Crichton's kee n interest in the unexplained powers of the human mind. When something pass es through a black hole in Crichton's fiction, a lesson is learned. The boo k also contains another profound lesson: when you're staring down a giant s quid with an eyeball the size of a dinner plate, don't blink first., Very Good Stock number: RWARE0000000488.

Imprint: Bantam, 2002 This seventh mystery featuring Scotland Yard detectives and lovers Duncan K incaid and Gemma Jones, a finely nuanced novel replete with multilayered ch aracters and a rare narrative patience, shows Crombie at the top of her for m after the relatively weak Kissed a Sad Goodbye (1999). The spirit of Edmu nd, a Glastonbury monk, possesses a cousin of Duncan's, architect Jack Mont fort, prompting him to write in scholarly medieval Latin of a missing relic and a chant hidden in the nearby abbey. Among those who form an alliance t o decipher the meaning of Jack's writings are Faith, a pregnant teenager, a nd Garnet, a reclusive artist. Nick, who works at the local bookstore, is b esotted with Faith and suspicious of the free- spirited Garnet. When Jack's girlfriend, Winnie, is hit by a car and left for dead and Garnet murdered, Jack invites Duncan and Gemma to Glastonbury to help investigate. The autho r covers a lot of ground, from Arthurian legend (the abbey may be Arthur an d Guinevere's final resting place) to Jack's lineage, which stretches back to Edmund the monk. Who fathered Faith's child is a protracted mystery, whi le the unearthly beauty of Glastonbury Tor draws believers and skeptics ali ke, giving solace to troubled souls and stirring others to perform dark dee ds. Throughout, the author sustains the sharp sense of a magical history bl eeding into the present, even if the denouement is too traditional for all the preceding trappings. Agent, Nancy Yost.

Imprint: Down East Books, 1997 A crisp clean softcover,(signed by the author) no markings throughout, not an ex-lib: Mysteries with a strong sense of place tend to be popular among readers who live in that place, and sometimes transcend a local audience because distant readers want to know more about the setting. David Crossman, a Maine resident writing for a Maine publisher, portrays the state as lovingly as he does his characters. Anybody who knows Maine will recognized the authenticity of Crossman's locales and local characters. Crossman's mystery-novel gimmick, a seeming requisite these days, is an octogenarian protagonist. He is Winston Crisp, a retired code-breaker who spent 50 years at the top-secret National Security Agency near Washington, DC. Crisp had no intention of solving murders when he retired to Penobscot Island. In fact, it never occurred to him there would be murders at all. Then the body of a young woman is discovered underneath the ice. She had been seen on the island the past autumn, as the guest of a US senator's son. At first, it appears the death was an accidental drowning. However, as Crisp - and local law enforcement - learns more details, homicide seems to be likely. Crisp conquers his age, complicated by frail health, to barely survive attempts on his life as he labors to solve the puzzle of the death., Near Fine Stock number: RWARE0000020597.

Imprint: Pantheon, 1998 In Always in Pursuit iconoclastic essayist and columnist Stanley Crouch col lects some of his best work from 1995 through 1997. His interests are far-r eaching, but Crouch's central concern is how U.S. residents work to further American democracy. He takes heart that so few believed Susan Smith, the w hite South Carolina woman who murdered her children and then said a black m an had done it; chides Jesse Jackson for failing to live up to his potentia l as a leader; and speaks out in support of affirmative action simply becau se no one has proposed a better solution. Sometimes outrageous, sometimes a bstruse, Crouch is never anything less than interesting., Very Good/No DJ Stock number: RWARE0000004816. ISBN: 9780375401534

Imprint: Polity, 2004 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. Post- Democracy is a polemical work that goes beyond current complaints abou t the failings of our democracy and explores the deeper social and economic forces that account for the current malaise. Colin Crouch argues that the decline of those social classes which had made possible an active and critical mass politics has combined with the rise o f global capitalism to produce a self-referential political class more conc erned with forging links with wealthy business interests than with pursuing political programmes which meet the concerns of ordinary people. He shows how, in some respects, politics at the dawn of the twenty-first century ret urns us to a world familiar well before the start of the twentieth, when po litics was a game played among elites. However, Crouch maintains that the e xperience of the twentieth century remains salient and it reminds us of pos sibilities for the revival of politics. This engaging book will prove challenging to all those who claim that advanced societies have reached a virtual best of all possible democratic worlds, and will be compelling reading for anyone interested in the shape of twenty-first-century politics., Very Good Stock number: RWARE0000039532.
