Description:
New York:: Fleet Publishing Corporation, , (1964.). SIGNED hardcover first edition -. Fair condition only in a fair dustjacket (bumped at several corners, also bumped and dented at bottom center of front cover - hard enough to have created a short split in the board; jacket is price-clipped and has several ragged tears and associated creasing along the bottom edge of the front panel, along with internal tape repairs. . First printing. SIGNED by the book's subject with his birth name, "Cassius Clay" -- a rare signature and especially so in this rather hard-to-find book, the first published biography of the great heavyweight champion. Issued later in the same year in which Clay took the heavyweight crown away from Sonny Liston (in their February 1964 bout), the book includes an account of the turbulent months that followed -- including the new champ's relationship with Malcolm X and his conversion to Islam, the controversy over his draft status, his much-publicized trip to…

Description:
New York:: First Second / Roaring Brook Press, , (2013). SIGNED first edition -. Fine in illustrated wrappers with self-flaps, in a fine slipcase.. First printing. In two volumes, these graphic novels tell two parallel stories, showing both sides of the Boxer Rebellion. "The first is of Little Bao, a Chinese peasant boy whose village is abused and plundered by Westerners claiming the role of missionaries. Little Bao, inspired by visions of the Chinese gods, joins a violent uprising against the Western interlopers. Against all odds, their grass-roots rebellion is successful. But in the second volume, Yang lays out the opposite side of the conflict. A girl whose village has no place for her is taken in by Christian missionaries and finds, for the first time, a home with them. As the Boxer Rebellion gains momentum, Vibiana must decide whether to abandon her Christian friends or to commit herself fully to Christianity. . . It offers a penetrating insight into not only one of the most controversial…

New Haven & London:: Yale University Press,, 1969.. SIGNED hardcover first edition -. Near fine in near fine dust jacket (name on front endpaper, some very light spots of foxing on the last few pages, but overall a very tight and clean copy) . First printing. His second (and probably most influential) book, an attack on contemporary philosophical and political nihilism. The book begins by reflecting on the consequences of the separation of the conception of reason from the conception of good in modern rationalism, which took the value-neutral science of mathematics as its model. It follows from this separation that reason can say nothing about its own goodness, or that the assertion of goodness is necessarily non-rational. However, he argues forcefully for the goodness of reason, and suggests a return to the ideas of Plato. Rosen is noted in his writings as relying as much as possible on non-technical language - this "reflects his conviction that ordinary experience is the basis of the…
