Istanbul Passage
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Kanon, Joseph, PUBLISHER: Atria Books, From the acclaimed, bestselling author of "Stardust, " "The Good German, "and "Los Alamos"--a gripping tale of an American undercover agent in Istanbul who descends into the murky cat-and-mouse world of compromise and betrayal that will come to define the entire post-war era. A neutral capital straddling Europe and Asia, Istanbul has spent the war as a magnet for refugees and spies. Even American businessman Leon Bauer has been drawn into this shadow world, doing undercover odd jobs and courier runs for the Allied war effort. Now as the espionage community begins to pack up and an apprehensive city prepares for the grim realities of post-war life, he is given one more assignment, a routine job that goes fatally wrong, plunging him into a tangle of intrigue and moral confusion. Played out against the bazaars and mosques and faded mansions of this knowing, ancient Ottoman city, Leon's attempt to save one life leads to a desperate manhunt and a maze of shifting loyalties that threatens his own. How do you do the right thing when there are only bad choices to make? "Istanbul Passage" is the story of a man swept up in the aftermath of war, an unexpected love affair, and a city as deceptive as the calm surface waters of the Bosphorus that divides it. Rich with atmosphere and period detail, Joseph Kanon's latest novel flawlessly blends fact and fiction into a haunting thriller about the dawn of the Cold War, once again proving why Kanon has been hailed as the "heir apparent to Graham Greene" ("The Boston Globe").
Post-Bellum, Pre-Harlem: African American Literature and
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: McCaskill, Barbara / Gebhard, Caroline, PUBLISHER: New York University Press, The years between the collapse of Reconstruction and the end of World War I mark a pivotal moment in African American cultural production. Christened the "Post-Bellum-Pre-Harlem" era by the novelist Charles Chesnutt, these years look back to the antislavery movement and forward to the artistic flowering and racial self-consciousness of the Harlem Renaissance. Post-Bellum, Pre-Harlem offers fresh perspectives on the literary and cultural achievements of African American men and women during this critically neglected, though vitally important, period of our nation's past. Using a wide range of disciplinary approaches, the sixteen scholars gathered here offer both a reappraisal and celebration of African American cultural production during these influential decades. Alongside discussions of political and artistic icons such as Booker T. Washington, W.E.B. Du Bois, Henry Ossawa Tanner, and James Weldon Johnson are essays revaluing figures such as the writers Paul and Alice Dunbar-Nelson, the New England painter Edward Mitchell Bannister, and Georgia-based activists Lucy Craft Laney and Emmanuel King Love. Contributors explore an array of forms from fine art to anti-lynching drama, from sermons to ragtime and blues, and from dialect pieces and early black musical theater to serious fiction. Contributors include: Frances Smith Foster, Carla L. Peterson, Gwendolyn DuBois Shaw, Audrey Thomas McCluskey, Barbara Ryan, Robert M. Dowling, Barbara A. Baker, Paula Bernat Bennett, Philip J. Kowalski, Nikki L. Brown, Koritha A. Mitchell, Margaret Crumpton Winter, Rhonda Reymond, and Andrew J. Scheiber.
The Guns of Ticonderoga
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Richardson, William T., PUBLISHER: Trafford Publishing, This is a fictional story, based on fact, of two l3 year old boys who join their fathers in assisting Henry Knox and the citizens of the frontier and the colonial militia in delivering Fort Ticonderoga cannon to George Washinglon and his troops in Boston. While the account of the boys' adventures enroute is fiction, they are representative of the type of experiences many young people had in growing up and assuming adult responsibilities while living on the frontier of early America. In November George Washington and his militia had the British forces in Boston, MA blockaded from the mainland. The British did not have sufficient forces in Boston to break the blockade. Washington did not have sufficient heavy weapons (cannon and mortars) to force the British to leave Boston. It was a stalemate. Henry Knox and his brother William volunteered to bring some of the heavy weapons from Fort Ticonderoga to Boston. Washington agreed, and with the assistance provided by General Phillip Schuyler at Albany, NY the Knox expedition moved pounds cannon and mortars across lakes, rivers, streams and mountains during the winter of . When the weapons arrived, Washington placed them in a strategic location overlooking Boston and its harbor, thereby convincing the British in March to evacuate Boston. The result was that Boston and New England remained in the hands of the Americans throughout the Revolutionary War. The success of the Knox expedition and its result for the outcome of the American Revolution is little known but deserves the attention provided here and elsewhere. This book is a good read for anyone who is interested in the contributions young citizens made tothe success of the American Revolution.
The Triumph of Imperfection: The Silver Age of Sociocultural
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Nemoianu, Virgil P., PUBLISHER: University of South Carolina Press, In this sequel to his Harry Levin Prize-winning The Taming of Romanticism, Virgil Nemoianu expands his survey of the intellectual and literary movement that swept Europe in the early and middle decades of the nine-teenth century to include rarely studied paraliterary texts in historiography, travel writing, and religious exposition. With The Triumph of Imperfection, Nemoianu traverses literary terrain beyond the canon to gauge the impact of late romanticism's moderate tone on the upheaval, revolution, and agitation associated with the advent of the modern era. He suggests that writers and scholars of the period wielded tools of discourse in such a way as to integrate the new ideals of modernity peacefully and calmly into the normal evolution of society. Subverting the conventional approach to romanticism, Nemoianu argues for a balance between works composed in Western and Central Europe. From this fresh starting point, he analyzes texts from authors both remembered and forgotten, including Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Franois Auguste-Rene de Chateaubriand, and Robert Southey. He considers their approach to educational techniques, the aesthetics of religion, and the interplay of history writing with fiction and contends that, in dealing with the radical changes of their day, thinkers, writers, statesmen, and reformers of the period sought a practical accommodation between the avalanche of revolutionary ideas and the intellectual history that had shaped the past millennia. Nemoianu suggests that at the center of this reconciliation was an acceptance of the notion of imperfection, of partial victories, and of a deliberate search for moderation and balance. Sure to spark scholarlydebate, Nemoianu underscores the value and relevance of the moderating influences he finds in romanticism for the intellectual and social questions facing the current century.

The Devil in Silver
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Lavalle, Victor, PUBLISHER: Spiegel & Grau, New Hyde Hospital's psychiatric ward has a new resident. It also has a very, "very" old one. Pepper is a rambunctious big man, minor-league troublemaker, working-class hero (in his own mind), and, suddenly, the surprised inmate of a budget-strapped mental institution in Queens, New York. He's not mentally ill, but that doesn't seem to matter. He is accused of a crime he can't quite square with his memory. In the darkness of his room on his first night, he's visited by a terrifying creature with the body of an old man and the head of a bison who nearly kills him before being hustled away by the hospital staff. It's no delusion: The other patients confirm that a hungry devil roams the hallways when the sun goes down. Pepper rallies three other inmates in a plot to fight back: Dorry, an octogenarian schizophrenic who's been on the ward for decades and knows all its secrets; Coffee, an African immigrant with severe OCD, who tries desperately to send alarms to the outside world; and Loochie, a bipolar teenage girl who acts as the group's enforcer.

Winterland
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Glynn, Alan, PUBLISHER: Picador USA, "Timely, topical, and thrilling."-- John Connolly "A terrific read...completely involving."-- George Pelecanos "WINTERLAND sets a dramatically high benchmark for emerald noir. With all the operatic inevitability of Greek tragedy, it anatomises what greed has done to Ireland. A resonant, memorable and uncomfortable read."-- Val McDermid "This is the colossus of Irish crime fiction, what Mystic River did for Dennis Lehane, WINTERLAND should do for Alan Glynn, it is a noir masterpiece, the bar against which all future works will be judged."-- Ken Bruen "Winterland" is a blistering unputdownable novel about power, lies and the corrupting influence of money. It is the first in a series on the dark and clandestine underside of globalization and announces a compelling new voice in contemporary crime writing.The worlds of business, politics and crime collide when two men with the same name, from the same family, die on the same night—one death is a gangland murder, the other, apparently, a road accident. Was it a coincidence? That’s the official version of events. But when a family member, Gina Rafferty, starts asking questions, this notion quickly unravels. Devastated by her loss, Gina’s grief is tempered, and increasingly fuelled, by anger—because the more she’s told that it was all a coincidence, that gangland violence is commonplace, that people die on our roads every day of the week, the less she’s prepared to accept it. Told repeatedly that she should stop asking questions, Gina becomes more determined than ever to find out the truth, to establish a connection between the two deaths—but in doing so she embarks on a path that will push certain powerful people to their limits...

Heisenberg and the Nazi Atomic Bomb Project, : A
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Rose, Paul Lawrence, PUBLISHER: University of California Press, No one better represents the plight and the conduct of German intellectuals under Hitler than Werner Heisenberg, whose task it was to build an atomic bomb for Nazi Germany. The controversy surrounding Heisenberg still rages, because of the nature of his work and the regime for which it was undertaken. What precisely did Heisenberg know about the physics of the atomic bomb? How deep was his loyalty to the German government during the Third Reich? Assuming that he had been able to build a bomb, would he have been willing? These questions, the moral and the scientific, are answered by Paul Lawrence Rose with greater accuracy and breadth of documentation than any other historian has yet achieved. Digging deep into the archival record among formerly secret technical reports, Rose establishes that Heisenberg never overcame certain misconceptions about nuclear fission, and as a result the German leaders never pushed for atomic weapons. In fact, Heisenberg never had to face the moral problem of whether he "should" design a bomb for the Nazi regime. Only when he and his colleagues were interned in England and heard about Hiroshima did Heisenberg realize that his calculations were wrong. He began at once to construct an image of himself as a "pure" scientist who could have built a bomb but chose to work on reactor design instead. This was fiction, as Rose demonstrates: in reality, Heisenberg blindly supported and justified the cause of German victory. The question of why he did, and why he misrepresented himself afterwards, is answered through Rose's subtle analysis of German mentality and the scientists' problems of delusion and self-delusion. This fascinating study is a profound effort to understand one of the twentieth century's great enigmas.

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: King, Laurie R., PUBLISHER: Bantam, Laurie R. King's "New York Times" bestselling novels of suspense featuring Mary Russell and her husband, Sherlock Holmes, comprise one of today's most acclaimed mystery series. Now, in their newest and most thrilling adventure, the couple is separated by a shocking circumstance in a perilous part of the world, each racing against time to prevent an explosive catastrophe that could clothe them both in shrouds. In a strange room in Morocco, Mary Russell is trying to solve a pressing mystery: "Who am I?" She has awakened with shadows in her mind, blood on her hands, and soldiers pounding on the door. Out in the hivelike streets, she discovers herself strangely adept in the skills of the underworld, escaping through alleys and rooftops, picking pockets and locks. She is clothed like a man, and armed only with her wits and a scrap of paper containing a mysterious Arabic phrase. Overhead, warplanes pass ominously north. Meanwhile, Holmes is pulled by two old friends and a distant relation into the growing war between France, Spain, and the Rif Revolt led by Emir Abd el-Krim--who may be a Robin Hood or a power mad tribesman. The shadows of war are drawing over the ancient city of Fez, and Holmes badly wants the wisdom and courage of his wife, whom he's learned, to his horror, has gone missing. As Holmes searches for her, and Russell searches for her"self, " each tries to crack deadly parallel puzzles before it's too late for them, for Africa, and for the peace of Europe. With the dazzling mix of period detail and contemporary pace that is her hallmark, Laurie R. King continues the stunningly suspenseful series that Lee Child called "the most sustained feat of imagination in mystery fiction today."
The Selected Poetry and Prose of Vittorio Sereni
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Sereni, Vittorio / Robinson, Peter / Perryman, Marcus, PUBLISHER: University of Chicago Press, "The Beach (La Spiaggia)"They've all gone away --the voice was blathering down the receiverThen, knowingly: -- They'll not return --. But todayon this stretch of beach never visited beforethose sunlight patches... Signalsof theirs, who hadn't left at all?And when you turn they're quiet, as if nothing. What's being wasted from day to dayis not the dead, but it's thosepatches of the nonexistent, lime or ashesready to become light and movement. Don'tbe in doubt, -- the sea's strength assails me --speak they will. Viewed as one of the most important Italian poets of the last century, Vittorio Sereni () wrote with a historical sweep unlike that of any of his contemporaries. A poet of both personal and political responsibility, he wrote of life under fascism, military defeat and imprisonment, the Italian economic miracle and cold war in Europe, and the resurgence of extreme right-wing politics, as well as the roles played by love and friendship in the survival of humanity. An equally esteemed prose writer, his pieces on the contradictions of war and the complex purpose of poetry and the arts in society are seminal contributions to Italian literature. The first substantial translation of Sereni's work published anywhere in the world, "The Selected Poetry and Prose of Vittorio Sereni" is a unique guide to this classic twentieth-century poet. This bilingual edition collects the most representative poems from Sereni's oeuvre, as well as a selection of prose works that extends the themes of his poetry. The book also contains examples of Sereni's short fiction, published here in English for the first time. With a full chronology, commentary, bibliography, and learned introduction by distinguished British poet and scholar Peter Robinson, "The Selected Poetry and Prose of Vittorio Sereni "is the only authorized rendering of Sereni's verse in English.

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Cords, Sarah Statz / Burgin, Robert, PUBLISHER: Libraries Unlimited, Nine of the best-selling books of all time are nonfiction, and countless readers turn to nonfiction when reading for pleasure today.

This is especially true in the library, where subject arrangements geared to information-seeking and scholarly research ignore the important characteristics and appeal features that readers seek out when reading for pleasure. It's no surprise, then, that in recent years, nonfiction readers' advisory has become one of the hottest topics with readers' advisors. This groundbreaking guide offers readers and professionals who work with them a much-needed road map to the vast and previously uncharted (in terms of RA) terrain of recreational nonfiction. After defining the genre (often also referred to as creative nonfiction, verite, or true stories), and discussing its unique characteristics and appeals, the author classifies and describes more than 500 titles popular with nonfiction readers--everything from true adventure, true crime, and travel narratives to investigative nonfiction, environmental writing, and life stories. Focus is on the best titles published within the last decade, with key classics and benchmark titles also cited. Chapters are subdivided into subgenres and popular themes. For each title you'll find a short list of nonfiction read-alikes. Fiction read-alikes are listed for each genre, as well. Appendixes list top political and spiritual writers. Tips and guidelines for nonfiction RA, and information about awards and NF publishers are included. This is an essential resource for all professionals who work with adult readers. It can be used as a reference andreaders' advisory guide, collection development tool, or even as a source for book lists and displays. Readers who enjoy nonfiction will also enjoy perusing this book, and browsing through the lively annotations.
Apalachee
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Hudson, Joyce Rockwood, PUBLISHER: University of Georgia Press, Known mainly for her YA novels (To Spoil the Sun), Hudson turns to adult fiction in this sweeping novel of Native American life during the early colonial period. The focus is on the eponymous Apalachee people, the Native tribe that dominated northeastern Florida before the coming of Europeans. By the early 18th century, in which the story is set, the Apalachee have been greatly reduced by disease and other dislocations brought by the Spanish invaders. Besides sicknesses against which the Indians had no natural defenses, the Europeans also brought another influence, Christianity. The new religion has had devastating effects upon the tribe, undermining traditional culture and dividing family members against each other. Lucia, a member of the Hinachuba clan, has, like her mother and grandmother, resisted conversion to Christianity. Despite the fact that the old religious centers lie in ruins, they try to keep the old ways alive. A medicine man's vision tells Lucia she is to be the White Sun Woman, the priestess of the tribe. Meanwhile, more pressing concerns intervene. Armed by the English, a neighboring Creek tribe stages raids on the Apalachee mission settlements. War between Spain and England looms, promising doom for the Apalachee caught in the middle. Lucia, now married to Carlos, a Christian convert groomed by Spanish priests to be the chief of the Apalachee, is captured and sold into slavery. Carlos's struggle to recover his wife, who is toiling at a turpentine plantation in the colony of Carolina, seems hopeless. Spanning the years from to , this melancholy book chronicles multiple conflicts between Spanish and English, the details of plantation existence and the ultimatedestruction of the Apalachee way of life. An historical note and extensive bibliography demonstrate the author's attempt at verisimilitude. Despite employing a somewhat romantic and elegiac tone, Hudson presents the Apalachee as real human characters and evokes their culture vividly.

Victor Marchetti and John D. Marks THE CIA AND THE CULT OF INTELLIGENCE LIBRO FUORI COMMERCIO LINGUA INGLESE Editore Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group INTRODUCTION BY MELVIN L. WULF La CIA e il Culto di intelligence è un controverso non-fiction libro politico scritto da Victor Marchetti, un ex assistente speciale al direttore della Central Intelligence Agency, e John D. Marks, un ex ufficiale del Dipartimento di Stati Uniti State. Gli autori pretendono di esporre come la CIA effettivamente funziona e come il suo scopo originale (vale a dire la raccolta e l'analisi delle informazioni sui governi stranieri, le società e le persone al fine di consigliare i politici pubblici) era stato sovvertito dalla sua ossessione per operazioni clandestine. E' il primo libro del governo federale degli Stati Uniti mai andato in tribunale per censurare prima della sua pubblicazione. La CIA ha chiesto gli autori rimuovere 399 passaggi, ma ha resistito e solo 168 i passaggi sono stati censurati. L'editore, Alfred A. Knopf, ha scelto di pubblicare il libro con spazi per i passaggi censurati e grassetto per i passaggi che sono state contestate ma poi senza censure. Il libro è stato un bestseller acclamato dalla critica la cui pubblicazione ha contribuito alla costituzione del Comitato Chiesa, un Senato degli Stati Uniti select comitato per studiare interventi governativi per quanto riguarda attività di intelligence, nel .Il libro è stato pubblicato in edizione economica da parte di Dell Publishing nel .

La Congiura Dei Potenti - Carlo Martigli
Come nuovo, spedizione in piego di libri posta prioritaria, oppure ritiro a mano in zona Torino. Descrizione Dopo il successo di 999, L'ULTIMO CUSTODE, Carlo A. Martigli torna a raccontare il lato oscuro della Storia. Carlo A. Martigli è un autore da copie vendute. La sua peculiarità è quella di intrecciare Storia e fiction, per dare vita a romanzi ricchi di passioni e colpi di scena. Worms, . Costretto dall'imperatore ad abiurare le sue tesi eretiche, Lutero si rifiuta e difende la propria critica radicale alla decadenza della Chiesa di Roma. Esposto alle minacce più diverse, Lutero - grazie ad abili sotterfugi orditi a sua insaputa - trova rifugio presso l'uomo più potente della Germania e, probabilmente, dell'intera Europa. L'uomo è il banchiere Jacob Fugger, il «re di danari», l'artefice della carriera di tutti i potenti d'Europa, dal papa allo stesso imperatore. E Fugger ha molte ragioni per far sì che Lutero sopravviva e, soprattutto, che esegua la sua volontà... Ma a casa Fugger arriva anche un uomo dal passato tormentato e con un incarico segreto. L'uomo è Paolo de Mola e a ostacolare i suoi piani, e quelli del suo misterioso mandante, non saranno le rivolte contadine di Thomas Müntzer, né gli intrighi di potere. Sarà l'amore, quello proibito e clandestino per la bella e giovane moglie di Fugger, Sibylle... È il momento in cui la Chiesa da un lato e Lutero dall'altro devono scegliere tra il potere e il popolo. Sceglieranno entrambi il potere. È il momento in cui il potere assume la forma non delle armi né della fede, ma quella che dura ancor oggi: quella del denaro. È il momento in cui, per Paolo de Mola, diventare uomo significa combattere contro tentazioni e forze sconosciute. Con la sua consueta abilità, Martigli intreccia storia e finzione dando vita a un grande romanzo ricco di passioni e colpi di scena, raccontando la nascita di quella forma del potere economico che ancora oggi governa le nostre vite.
Lady of Hay
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Erskine, Barbara, PUBLISHER: Harper, "Two Women, Eight Hundred Years, and the Destiny They Share" "Barbara Erskine can make us feel the cold, smell the filth, and experience some of the fear of the power of evil men...The author's storytelling talent is undeniable." "-Times of London" With a story as mesmerizing as it is chilling, "Lady of Hay "explores how Jo, a journalist investigating hypnotic regression, plunges into the life of Matilda, Lady of Hay-who lived eight hundred years earlier. As she learns of Matilda's unhappy marriage, her troubled love for Richard de Clare, and the brutal treatment she received from King John, it seems that Jo's past and present are hopelessly entwined. Centuries later, a story of secret passion and unspeakable treachery is about to begin again-and she has no choice but to brave both lives if she wants to shake the iron grip of history. "So well researched and so well written that it is almost impossible to put down. The novel has everything that readers of racy fiction could ask for: beautiful characters, exotic settings, and passion...situations and characters that are so completely convincing that they come to life." "-Philadelphia Inquirer" "Told with hair-raising intensity, this is a gripping tale." "-Daily News" "Barbara Erskine is a superb storyteller." "-Los Angeles Daily News" "Fascinating, absorbing, original-all such praise comes easily when describing Barbara Erskine's "Lady of Hay." But perhaps the most suitable word is hypnotic."
