Why I Am Still a Catholic

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Ryan, Kevin / Ryan, Marilyn, PUBLISHER: Riverhead Books, What draws -- and binds -- thoughtful, educated people to a Church so often criticized by outsiders (and even members) as "authoritarian" or "out of step with the times?" This collection of personal accounts answers that question in diverse, fascinating, and deeply moving ways. Novelist William Kienzle discusses his years in the seminary, explaining why he eventually left the priesthood -- but not the Church. Kathleen Howley reveals how God replaced alcohol in her life, and why the traditional Latin Mass holds so much more appeal than the folk Masses of her youth. Former baseball commissioner Bowie Kuhn compares his feelings for the Church with his lifelong belief in "team loyalty". Jon Hassler vividly recalls two very different childhood friends -- and the attractions of both evil and goodness. These writers, and numerous others, offer a remarkable portrait of today's Catholic Church, creating a new understanding of how its presence has endured for nearly two thousand years, and why it continues to thrive.

Jack Kerouac

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Miles, Barry, PUBLISHER: Henry Holt & Company, An intimate biography of the writer who has become an American icon. More than fifty years after the publication of On the Road, Jack Kerouac is more read and revered by a new generation than ever before. Why this is so is the subject of Barry Miles's fresh and revealing portrait of the writer who is the acknowledged leader of the Beat movement, the group of writers that included Allen Ginsberg and William Burroughs, who together influenced the direction of writing and culture more than any group of artists since England's Bloomsbury. From his birth in blue-collar Lowell, Massachusetts in to his years at Columbia University during World War II where he first met Allen Ginsberg and all the wild times that followed with friends such as Neal Cassady and Gary Snyder, here is the story of Jack Kerouac's life as never told before. Barry Miles draws on his close friendship with Allen Ginsberg and William Burroughs to offer new insight into both the exuberance and dismay of the man who inspired a whole generation to take to the road. Kerouac is now an icon, an image, an attitude, and a new generation looks to him as a symbol of freedom. Barry Miles shows us Kerouac the man and Kerouac the leg, his longing for greatness and the consequences of achieving it.

The Thirteen Principal Upanishads

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Hume, Robert Ernest / Hume, R. E., PUBLISHER: Oxford University Press, USA, The metaphysical treatises known as the Upanishads represent the efforts of the major thinkers of early India, from around the sixth century B.C., to solve the problems of the origin, the nature, and the destiny of man and the universe.

Who Am I? What Am I? Where Am I?

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Rosenberg, Aura, PUBLISHER: Hatje Cantz Publishers, Celebrating the kind of childhood play that signals a search for identity, "Who Am I, What Am I, Where Am I?" is a series of 70 photographs by New York- and Berlin-based artist Aura Rosenberg. For each picture, a child and an artist were paired up to create an idiosyncratic portrait of the child--each of whom was given access to masks and costumes. Among the collaborating artists are John Baldessari, Coco Fusco, Skuta Helgason, Louise Lawler, Allan McCollum, John Miller, Vik Muniz, Tony Oursler, Jim Shaw, James Siena, Laurie Simmons, Kiki Smith and Haim Steinbach. Rosenberg's contribution to the collaboration is her technically playful style--the photographs are often digitally manipulated to create an array of surreal and humorous effects. This volume draws a compelling parallel between childhood play and the work of the adult artists. Also included are texts by artists Dan Graham, Mike Kelley and Nicolas Guagnini.

The Adventures of Tom Sawyer

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Twain, Mark / Kazin, Alfred, PUBLISHER: Bantam Classics, Sparkling with mischief, jumping with youthful adventure, Mark Twain's "Tom Sawyer" is one of the most splendid re-creations of childhood in all of literature. It is a lighthearted romp, full of humor and warmth. It shares with its sequel, "Huckleberry Finn," not only a set of unforgettable characters--Tom, Huck, Aunt Polly and others--but a profound understanding of humanity as well. Through such hilarious scenes as the famous fence-whitewashing incident, Twain gives a portrait--perceptive yet tender--of a humanity rendered foolish by his own aspirations and obsessions. Written as much for adults as for young boys and girls, "Tom Sawyer" is the work of a master storyteller performing in his shirt sleeves, using his best talents to everyone's delight.

Brian Mulroney: The Boy from Baie-Comeau

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Murphy, Rae / Chodos, Robert / Auf Der Maur, Nick, PUBLISHER: James Lorimer & Company, Before the GST and before Free Trade, Brian Mulroney was a small-town boy who announced at age nineteen that he would one day be Prime Minister. This is his story. Growing up in the remote company town of Baie-Comeau, Mulroney was immersed in Quebecois culture, in a close-knit community with an enduring social order and spirit of self-help. A hardworking electrician's son, he wanted to be "the guy who makes things happen." Mulroney pursued that goal through a meteoric career as a labour lawyer, an unswerving partisan for the Conservative cause in Quebec, the president of a major corporation. In , equipped with a deep understanding of Quebec, a small-town sense of social compassion, and skill as a negotiator and businessman, he was ready to take on the nation. Informed by interviews with Mulroney, his aides and enemies, "Brian Mulroney: The Boy from Baie Comeau" is a remarkable portrait of the political ascent of one of Canada's most controversial Prime Ministers.

The Queen of Whale Cay

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Summerscale, Kate, PUBLISHER: Viking Books, She was the fastest woman on water -- then she slipped from sight to pursue a fascinating, bizarre life as the "ruler" of a tropical island in the Bahamas When Marion "Joe" Carstairs died in at the age of ninety-three, she was largely forgotten. During the s she held the world record as the fastest female speedboat racer. But as journalist Kate Summerscale discovered, when researching an obituary for the Daily Telegraph, Carstairs was also a notorious cross-dresser who favored women and smoked cheroots. Supremely self-confident, she inherited a Standard Oil fortune and knew how to spend her money -- on fast boats and cars, female lovers, and a Caribbean island, Whale Cay, where she reigned over a colony of Bahamians. There, far from her bohemian past in London and Paris, she hosted a succession of girlfriends and celebrities, including Marlene Dietrich and the Duke and Duchess of Windsor. Through it all, she remained devoted to Lord Tod Wadley, a little doll who became her bosom companion. Already a bestseller in England, The Queen of Whale Cay is a marvelous portrait of one of the twentieth century's great eccentrics. "A biography that sparkles with enthusiastic research and empathetic writing". -- Sunday Times
