Description:
New York, New York, U. S. A.: Basic Books. New. 1997. Softcover. Brand's narrative is lucid, fast-moving and unblinded by hero-worship. In a single volume he has packed Roosevelt's 60 years of ambition, adventure, expediency, achievement, and finally, frustration at having peaked too soon. (Publishers Weekly). A biography of Theodore Roosevelt's amazing life, including his belief in heroes, his presidential years, and his charge up San Juan Hill. The prologue reveals injuries the man suffered with that are not widely known in this era. His wife and children are included, as that was his life: husband, father, president, hero. Much more exciting than this sounds. ; Photographs; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 897 pages .

This book brings together for the first time a selection of trailblazing essays by Ella Shohat, an internationally renowned theorist of postcolonial and cultural studies. Written over the past two decades, these twelve essays - some classic, some less known, some new - trace a powerful intellectual trajectory as Shohat rigorously teases out the consequences of a deep critique of Eurocentric epistemology. This volume not only illuminates many of the concerns that have animated the study of cultural politics over the past two decades, it also points toward new scholarly possibilities. 406 pages including notes and an index; illustrated with black & white photographs.

Honolulu, Hawaii, U. S. A.: Univ Of Hawaii Pr. New with no dust jacket. 1997. Hardcover. South of the clouds, in the land of the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, dwell the descendants of a once pastoral people, the Nakhi. Today there are still Nakhi who follow their ancient traditions, and Nakhi folktales reflect their beliefs. In the legends presented here we discover why the Sun - hot-tempered and impetuous, is unpleasant to look at, while the graceful Moon attracts us with her silvery light; why the azalea, for all her beauty, lives the shortest and saddest of lives. In a Nakhi creation tale, we learn that the oceans and mountains are the result of a terrible battle in which Sumei Naga, a beautiful but greedy sepent, is slain for stealing a jeweled egg. The ten stories, illustrated with delightful paintings by celebrated artist Li Ji, welcome us into the unique and little-known world of the Nakhi. Fully illustrated - still in publishers wrap. 8vo - over 7¾" -…

Michigan: Unknown. New. N.D.. Unknown; Unknown. Softcover. This book is inscribed by the author, and has a separate slip of paper enclosed with a note to an individual. This interesting book is based on a family geneology, put together primarily by three of the family living in the United States. It starts with several immigrant families moved from a small parish in Sweden and finally found themselves in Michigan. The move was caused by severe problems in Sweden involving drought, famine, and impending poverty. Most of the families stayed together in the general area of Wallace, which they named Bethel. One of Ronald Newlin's family was, without his knowledge, just completing a geneological chart. When they finally met after talking for several months, Ronald was thrilled that he had found family. She knew quite a bit about different members and Ronald, with his wife, went to Sweden more than once to meet his relatives. The first part of this book appears to be about Sweden in the…

Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania, U. S. A.: Stackpole Books. New in New dust jacket. 2000. First Edition. Hardcover. The Civil War surgeon faced a unique challenge: to answer to two very different authorities. On one hand, he was bound to uphold the principles of medical tradition, while on the other required to obey the regularions of the army. Not every doctor was able to rise to the challenge of these dual responsibilities and many Civil War surgeons ended up facing official sanctions for their alleged medical and/or procedural failures. Undoubtedly, some of these surgeons were guilty of negligence, perhaps even worse. But the great majority did their duty. Even those who fell short raise the question: Could we, with the same challenges and the same limited knowledge, have done better? With appendices and index. ; 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall .
