Folio, measuring approximately 12.5" x 18.75", is still in shrink-wrapped publisher's box. 365 pages."With his Hollywood good looks, boundless enthusiasm, and mesmeric media presence, John F. Kennedy was destined to capture the imaginations of over 70 million Americans who watched the nation's first televised presidential debate. Just days after winning the election by the narrowest margin in history, Kennedy himself said it was the TV more than anything else that turned the tide. But one man begged to differ: writer Norman Mailer, who bragged that his pro-Kennedy treatise, "Superman Comes to the Supermarket," had won the election for Kennedy. Whether or not that was the case, the article, published in Esquire magazine just weeks before polls opened, did redefine political reporting and journalism itself, spawning a form that would be called New Journalism. Mailer's frank, first-person, irreverent voice reflected on Kennedy's cult of personality, calling him the existential hero who could awaken the… Read More

Dust jacket exhibits light shelfwear. 384 pages."Japan is the world's richest country in terms of per capita income. Even during a recession the country is in the black. Japan's school system produces a blue-collar work force possessing skills that come only with a college degree in most Western countries. Its pension and health delivery systems are efficient and relatively inexpensive, and its unemployment rate half that of the United States and Germany. This text suggests that the reasons for Japan's success lie in its "capitalist development state", an economic system in which public service is highly valued, where state bureaucracy attracts the best young minds and where "guidance" by the state is both accepted…

Drawing upon their day-to-day experiences as daughters, sisters, wives, mothers, students, and professionals living and working in Japanese society, Japanse scholars/writers describe and analyze the historical background, current status, and future prospects for Japanese women. Essays focus on the family, language, art, education, religion, the work place, and politics, and highlight the changes in attitudes and consciousness that are taking place in Japan today. This body of scholarship is unrivaled in scope; there is no comparable collection.

Description:
Folio, measuring approximately 13" x 18.75", is new, still in shrink-wrapped publisher's case. 695 pages."In 1960, photographer William Claxton and noted musicologist Joachim Berendt traveled the United States hot on the trail of jazz. Through music halls and marching bands, side streets and subways, they sought to document this living, breathing, beating musical phenomenon that enraptured America across social, economic, and racial lines.
The book "Jazzlife," the original fruit of their labors, has become a collector's item that is highly treasured among jazz and photography fans. In 2003, TASCHEN began reassembling this important collection of material―along with many never-before-seen color images from those trips. They are brought together in this updated volume, which includes a foreword by Claxton tracing his travels with Berendt and his love affair with jazz music in general. Utilizing the benefits of today's digital technology, a restored audio CD from Joachim Berendt's original recordings… Read More

Dépliement des instances qui s'expriment à travers le "je" autobiographique le plus lisse : coulisses de la première personne, quel que soit le théâtre sur lequel elle se donne en spectacle. Mais aussi, très vite, mise en question de la notion d'auteur : dans l'interview, dans le récit de vie ethnographique, on a deux auteurs au lieu d'un. A quoi s'ajoute le pouvoir de définition de chaque média : le "je" écrit et le "je" télévisé ont-ils quelque chose en commun ? Si les "Essais" de Montaigne sont nés de… Read More
