Bought new, never read. ; Third volume in Martin's epic Ice and Fire saga. ; 7¾" - 9¾" Tall; 1168 pages; "Of the five contenders for power, one is dead, another in disfavor, and still the wars rage as violently as ever, as alliances are made and broken. Joffrey, of House Lannister, sits on the Iron Throne, the uneasy ruler of the land of the Seven Kingdoms. His most bitter rival, Lord Stannis, stands defeated and disgraced, the victim of the jealous sorceress who holds him in her evil thrall. But young Robb, of House Stark, still rules the North from the fortress of Riverrun. Robb plots against his despised Lannister enemies, even as they hold his sister hostage at King's Landing, the seat of the Iron Throne. "Meanwhile, making her way across a blood=drenched continent is the exiled queen, Daenerys, mistress of the only three dragons still left in the world. Filled with the stench of death and decay from the destructive dynastic war, Daenerys is gathering allies and strength for an assault on King's Landing, hoping to win back the crown she believes is rightfully hers. "But as opposing forces maneuver for the final titanic showdown, an army of barbaric wildings bent on overwhelming the Seven Kingdoms arrives from the outermost line of civilization. In their vanguard is a horde of mythical Others - a supernatural army of the living dead whose animated corpses are unstoppable. And as the future of the land hangs in the balance, no one will rest in the quest for victory until the Seven Kingdoms have exploded in a veritable storm of swords . . . ".

Mass Market paperback. Condizione: New. Second Printing. Purchased new, never read. ; Book 5: Song of Ice and Fire series. Includes a nine page excerpt from The Winds of Winter, the long awaited and never published book 6 of the Ice and Fire saga. ; 6¾" - 7¾" Tall; 1123 pages; "In the aftermath of a colossal battle, the future of the Seven Kingdoms hangs in the balance--beset by newly emerging threats from every direction. In the east, Daenerys Targaryen, the last scion of House Targaryen, rules with her three dragons as queen of a city built on dust and death. But Daenerys has thousands of enemies, and many have set out to find her. As they gather, one young man embarks upon his own quest for the queen, with an entirely different goal in mind. Fleeing from Westeros with a price on his head, Tyrion Lannister, too, is making his way to Daenerys. But his newest allies in this quest are not the ragtag band they seem, and at their heart lies one who could undo Daenerys's claim to Westeros forever. Meanwhile, to the north lies the mammoth Wall of ice and stone--a structure only as strong as those guarding it. There, Jon Snow, 998th Lord Commander of the Night's Watch, will face his greatest challenge. For he has powerful foes not only within the Watch but also beyond, in the land of the creatures of ice. From all corners, bitter conflicts reignite, intimate betrayals are perpetrated, and a grand cast of outlaws and priests, soldiers and skinchangers, nobles and slaves, will face seemingly insurmountable obstacles. Some will fail, others will grow in the strength of darkness. But in a time of rising restlessness, the tides of destiny and politics will lead inevitably to the greatest dance of all.".

Not from a library. vii + 146 pages. The National Purpose was a highly influential, five-part public debate and essay symposium jointly sponsored by Life magazine and The New York Times that aimed to address a widespread anxiety that post-war America had become overly materialistic, affluent, and complacent, losing its foundational sense of mission in the face of the escalating Cold War. The series emerged at a critical cultural and political juncture the end of the Eisenhower administration and the dawn of the 1960 presidential campaign. Spurred by massive economic growth, intellectual critiques like John Kenneth Galbraith's The Affluent Society, and Soviet advancements like Sputnik, policymakers and journalists feared Americans were prioritizing personal comfort over national survival. The series sought to explicitly redefine the country's collective goals. The symposium featured ten prominent American leaders, intellectuals, and public figures who published long-form essays in the pages of Life and The New York Times. Notable contributors included: Adlai Stevenson: The former Democratic presidential nominee argued that America needed to "extend our vision. to all mankind" rather than retreating into private wealth. David Sarnoff: The head of RCA argued for a aggressive, renewed dedication to democratic traditions specifically tailored to fighting and defeating global Communism. Billy Graham: The famed evangelist diagnosed a "moral and spiritual cancer" in the country, warning that an obsession with personal luxury was robbing citizens of their individual and national character. Walter Lippmann & James Reston: The legendary political commentators argued that the country was stagnant and waiting for a political innovator—asserting that a great nation requires decisive presidential leadership to guide public resolve. Other Authors: The series also featured essays from Archibald MacLeish, John W. Gardner, Clinton Rossiter, John K. Jessup, and defense strategist Albert Wohlstetter. The articles generated enormous public discussion and heavily shaped the rhetoric of the 1960 election, directly influencing John F. Kennedy's "New Frontier" campaign, which focused on sacrifice and national renewal.…
