Description:
Alexandria, VA: Taipei Economic And Cultural Representative Office In The United States. New in New dust jacket. 2004. Hardcover. When diplomatic ties between the Republic of China (Taiwan) and the United States were severed in 1979, no one could have predicted that their relationship would flourish as it has. Over the course of the last quarter century, however, the lasting friendship and enduring goodwill between Taiwan and the United States have continued to grow ever deeper, ever broader, ever stronger. To provide a comprehensive overview of this multifacted relationship, the Tapei Economic and Cultural Representative Office in the United States has collected 39 feature stories from the Taiwan Update and nine speeches from Taiwan's chief representative in the U. S. , C. J. Chen. Drawing upon authoritative sources, vigorous reporting, and incisive analysis, this book is an indispensable, one-stop reference for readers who want to see the whole picture without missing any of the… Read More

Description:
Berkeley, CA: Univ Of California Press. Near Fine with no dust jacket. 2003. First Edition. Softcover. This richly detail ethnographic work tells the story of a period of deep civil unrest in India. In 1975 Indira Gandhi declared a state of emergency which gave her the power to silence opposition through arrests and censorship, and to introduce a new program of reform which included draconian campaigns of slum clearance and family planning. In the capital city of Delhi access to basic civic amenities became dependent on the production of a sterilization certificate. For many of the city's poorest inhabitants whose homes had been demolished, the choice was between sterilization or homelessness. This book's documentation and analysis of the relationship between state archives and lived experience is methodologically innovative, charting new ground for anthropologists and political scientists concerned with the role of the state in everyday life. Includes sources and an index, with… Read More

Description:
Orlando, Florida, U. S. A.: Harcourt. New in New dust jacket. 2001. First Edition. Hardcover. Widely regarded as one of the rare eminent scientists who is also a graceful writer, Ian Tattersall takes up some of the most controversial questions in evolutionary theory in this extraordinary set of essays. Tattersall stresses that living creatures, including humans, are not finely enginered organisms with every component perfectedly adapted to their function. We are - thank goodness - jury-rigged, improvised beings, owing as much to chance as to adaptation. And that's true of all living creatures. Evolutionary theory isn't a finite set of conlcusions based on overwhelming evidence: It's our evolving effort to make sense out of a handful of incomplete fossil remains. The fundamental questions of our origins - and our evolutionary future - find new life in this extraordinary book, full of delightful stories, scientific wisdom, and fresh insight. 203 pages. 8vo - over… Read More

New York: Harcourt Childrens Books. Near Fine in Very Good dust jacket. 2002. First Edition. Hardcover. Jon Jeffers is the loneliest nine-year-old on Earth. It's 1935, Franklin D. Roosevelt is president, and it is a time of thrilling scientific advancements in the world. But Jon is stuck on a tiny rocky island nineteen miles off the coast of San Francisco with his mother, his lighthouse-keeper father, and his only friend, a dog named Smacks. If only Jon could fly, he could escape this forsaken pile of rocks - and the ghosts of the shipwrecked sailors who haunt it - and have some real adventures! Then one morning a mysterious man appears on the beach and offers, amazingly, to teach Jon to fly, so long as he swears to never reveal how it's done. Jon agrees, and at first flying seems to be the answer to his wildest dreams. But then he flies into some serious trouble. In larger print. The last free endpaper has a spot on it like coffee.

Description:
New York, NY: Abrams. Very Good in Near Fine dust jacket. 1979. First Edition. Hard Cover, Cloth. Long ago the world was full of extraordinary creatures who have come to be called giants. We know that gigantic fauna, wiped out by some cataclysmic ice age, once existed. Their human counterparts have left traces in monumental stone structures, vast cave homes, and even a few titanic bones. But the richest source of information we have are myths and legends. No pantheon of gods in any land is without its giants. This remarkable volume fills an enormous gap in human knowledge. It is hoped that homo sapiens will welcome this opportunity to take giants into their hearts and homes. The binding is ivory linen with light spots at top and bottom edges. The jacket has a few small creases, a 3" crease in the back, and is lightly scuffed. ; Folio - over 12 - 15" tall .

She is shocked when Drakos tracks her down at the Aquarium, claiming he has important information about an inherited property on Lake Superior, and that he is her older brother.
