Hard Back. Condizione: Near Fine. Condizione sovraccoperta: Very Good. First Edition Stated. 372 Pages Indexed. October 1989 Edition. White boards, black quarter spine with gold lettering and red endpapers. To realize your biggest dreams you must scheme and connive and convince others to play along with you, says AI Neuharth, fo…under of USA Today and former chairman of Gannett. This is much more than a story about newspapers or about big business. It's a blueprint for men and women in any field to deliver on their own dreams. And it's developed by a once poor country kid from South Dakota who became a multimillionaire media mogul. The person who created the country's first national general-interest newspaper while everybody else said it couldn't be done-tells how he did it. Neuharth takes you inside boardrooms and newsrooms. He reveals how he developed his maverick management style and with it revolutionized Gannett, from a small group of what were called shit-kicker newspapers to a global media giant. His unusually candid account of success and failure is no-holds-barred, no names spared. Neuharth advises those who want to move up in their world --- How to be ready always to rock the boat. How to best the boss. How to beat backbiting with backbone. How to write your own rules and form your own club. How to wear a bull's-eye on your chest and shake off the darts and arrows that hit you. How to get what you want by using the right mix of niceness and nastiness. How to stop critics from compromising your dreams. Above all, how to have fun playing the game. Yet despite Neuharth's huge successes, he shows how a few failures along the way can be good for you. He details how his own naivete doomed his first business venture when he was twentynine. And how his ego killed what would have been the world's biggest media merger when he was sixty-one. Neuharth retired as Gannett chairman in 1989, at age sixty-five. He writes a weekly column called Plain Talk for USA TODAY and other Gannett newspapers. He does his writing on a 1926 Royal typewriter in a treehouse he built at Pumpkin enter, his seven-acre oceanfront estate in Cocoa Beach, Florida. From there, he overlooks the launchpads of the Kennedy Space Center, where Neuharth says there is more vision per square mile than anywhere else in the world.

Hardcover. Condizione: Near Fine. Condizione sovraccoperta: Near Fine. 1st Edition. Not a book but a 12-inch, 33-1/3 rpm vinyl record album "Lent for Promotional Use Only," Mango 539 863-1, near-mint vinyl in near-mint cardboard jacket, includes "Civilization," "Garvey," "My Roots," "Take A Look," "Great Men," "African Woman," "…Mek We Dweet" and of course "Mek We Dweet in Dub." (In fact, if you've ever wondered, this "Lent For Promotional Use Only" is an empty bluff. Once this record was mailed out -- they were virtually always unsolicited -- to a radio station, it became the property of said radio station to dispose of as it pleased (other than REPRODUCING new copies) In January of 2011, NPR reports, "The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco upheld a lower court's decision that the sale of so-called promo records -- usually advance copies of new releases sent to music critics and radio stations by record labels -- does NOT violate copyright laws.") The Burning Band includes Paul Beckford bass, Nelson Miller drums, Lenford Richards lede guitar, piano, funde; Linvall Jarrett rhythm guitar, Alvin Haughton, percussion. There's also quite a bit of brass (saxes, trumpet, trombone) in this LP, recorded at Tuff Gong Studios, Kingston, Jamaica. Reduced from $15. Photography by Deborah Feingold (illustratore).

Hardcover. Condizione: As New. Condizione sovraccoperta: As New. 1st Edition. As new condition navy blue boards with red spine lettering contained in an as new condition non price-clipped color photographic dust jacket. Includes List of Other Books by Laura Ingraham; Author Dedication; Introduction: An Early Warning Sign; Acknow…ledgments, Notes, and Index. "Americans didn't just go to the polls in 2016. They joined a movement that swept the unlikeliest of candidates, Donald J. Trump, into the Oval Office. But can he complete his agenda? Or will his opponents in the media, the protestor class, and the bipartisan political establishment block his efforts and choke off the movement he represents? In Billionaire at the Barricades, bestselling author Laura Ingraham - the most listened-to woman in political talk radio - gives readers a front row seat to the seminal moments of the populist revolution as she witnessed it. In a work at once personal and prescient, Ingraham reveals the origins of this misunderstood movement and its connection to the Trump presidency. She unmasks the opposition, forecasts the future of the "Make America Great Again" agenda, and offers her own prescriptions for bringing real change to the swamp of Washington. Unlike so many of her media colleagues, Ingraham instantly grasped Trump's appeal and defied those who repeatedly wrote his political obituary. Now she confronts the president's critics and responds to those who deny the bipartisan appeal of his populist, pro-life, pro-growth, America First agenda. The Trump agenda cannot be considered in isolation but is the fulfillment of a movement's yearnings, Ingraham writes. With sharp humor and insight she traces the DNA of the populist movement from Barry Goldwater's quixotic 1964 campaign, to Richard Nixon's Silent Majority, to Ronald Reagan's smashing electoral victories. Populism fueled the insurgency campaigns f Buchanan and Perot, the election of George W. Bush, and the Tea Party rallies during the Obama presidency. But it was a political novice, a Manhattan billionaire, who would prove the movement's most vocal champion. This is the inside story of his victory and the fitful struggle to enact his agenda. Ingraham reveals previously unreported details behind Trump's victory and outlines the pitfalls ahead, mapping out where she thinks the populist revolution should (and will) take this country - whether fully realized by this administration or not. No politically engaged American can afford to ignore Ingraham's definitive take on the past, present, and future of the populist movement." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps.

Hardcover. Condizione: New. Condizione sovraccoperta: New. 1st Edition. New condition white boards, gold front cover facsimile Loretta Lynn signature, and brown spine with gold spine lettering contained in a new condition non price-clipped color photographic dust jacket. Includes Author Dedication; Acknowledgments; Preface and L…oretta Lynn Awards and Discographies. Illustrated with a section of black-and-white photographic plates. "Loretta Lynn was immortalized to millions of Americans through the book and film Coal Miner's Daughter as the future country star who married at thriteen and braved indescribable hardship and poverty. Now, the undisputed queen of country music goes beyond the early years she chronicled in her first memoir to explore the thirty-five subsequent years of her life - the complete tale of a star who was woman enough to rise in triumph. The book's title is taken from Lynn's hit song "You Ain't Woman Enough to Take My Man" - and in this riveting account, Loretta proves why she has served as a source of inspiration to countless American women. In Still Woman Enough, Loretta writes candidly about the price of fame and the stresses of stardom, telling of friends and family she's loved and lost along the way, all in her signature friendly, down-home style. The backdrop for this inspirational story is the tumultuous life of the most honored woman in the history of country music. Loretta shares secrets that are not in her first book, discussing in much more detail her move from Butcher Holler, Kentucky, to faraway Washington state, where she had her fourth child by age eighteen and where her husband forced her to sing in local taverns. She tells of her own encounters with domestic violence and shares the ordeals that rocked her home - domestic explosions that often occurred before her terrified children. Loretta, now a grandmother, chronicles the passionate, often volatile, but always enduring forty-eight-year relationship with her hard-drinking husband, Mooney - "one of the hardest love stories in the world." Loretta's memoir explores the high price of fame for a sixth-grade graduate who was emotionally unequipped to deal with the demands of show business, and how she triumphed with superstardom intact. She also reveals details about her last minutes with the late Conway Twitty, with whom she recorded seven number one songs, and other tremendous challenges that she's face, including the death of her eldest son, Jack, as a young adult in the 1980s, and the recent death of her best friend in country music, Tammy Wynette. This memoir will captivate Loretta's enormous group of fans, who've been eagerly awaiting her next book." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps.

As new condition white boards/yellow spine/black spine lettering contained in an as new condition non price-clipped color illustrated dust jacket. Includes Authors' Dedication; Preliminary Page Quotes by William F. Buckley, Jr. and C.S. Lewis; Welcome…to Our Book; Acknowledgments and Index. "This book needed to be written, needed to be published, and needs to be read. Best of all, it's great fun to read." -- Brit Hume. "End of Discussion will actually start more conversations than it finishes. Mary Katharine and Guy are two of the bright stars of conservative commentary, and their insight and humor comes together well to showcase the absurdities of manufactured outrage and the benefits of taking a breath before launching an attack." -- Dana Periono, former White House press secretary and co-host of The Five on Fox News. "A brilliant expose of the Left's outrageous outrage over EVERYTHING! Free speech isn't free. It must be fought for. Get in the fight with this FANTASTIC book!" -- Brad Thor. "I can't thing of any two people more qualified to expose the Left's decidedly undemocratic efforts to silence opposing views. With their characteristic wit and humor, they take on the outrage industrial complex on behalf of fun -- and freedom-loving Americans everywhere." -- S.E. Cupp. "Will make you laugh -- and cry -- at a world where honest debate is all too rare." -- Juan Williams, Fox News liberal analyst. "Come for the writing and the humor, stay for the point: The 'outrage industry' is destroying politics. Benson and Ham have diagnosed a new kind of media cancer, one that is metastasizing and eating away at our ability to survive as a free people, freely debating our future. Yes, that sounds serious for a book with as wornderfully light a touch as this, and one so full of laugh-out-loud moments. But it is true. That's why you need to read this book." - Hugh Hewitt. "They want to shut you up. But don't let this be the End of Discussion. In this fresh and provocative new book, Mary Katharine Ham and Guy Benson, dynamic Fox News and Townhall Media duo, expose how the Left exploits fake outrage to silence their political opponents -- in public, on social media, at work, and even in theri own homes. End of Discussion encourages all Americans who value the open exchange of ideas to fight back against this strategic effort to make America less free, less feisty, and less fun. Ham and Benson demonstrate just how dangerous the outrage industry -- a coalition of mostly liberal blowhards and busy-bodies -- is to democracy. This media frenzy: Disqualifies opposing viewpoints on everything from health care to infrastructure to education by labeling them racist, sexist, and evil; Punishes speech that makes them uncomfortable; Demands boycotts, firings, regulations, and other economic costs for the sin of disagreeing with them; Seeks to win the debate by preventing it from happening. If you think this behavior is relegated to political fights or politicians, think again. A network of well-trained operatives, nonprfit groups, PR firms, universities, politicians, and "thought leaders" exists to foment outrage over YOUR association with the "wrong" fried chicken joints, internet browsers, breast cancer charities, children's toys, Halloween costumes, TV shows, schools, and even comedians' jokes. With Ham and Benson's help, readers can cut through the noise and find their voices again, fighting back against the rampant self-censorship and hair-trigger apologies that always make things worse, not better. With fresh reporting and insightful, occasionally tongue-in-cheed, analysis, End of Discussion is a timely handbook for anyone who wants to make sure debate doesn't meet an ugly death." -- excerpt from the inner front and rear jacket flaps.

Illustrated with a section of black-and-white photographic plates. Remainder mark at upper page edge (see photographs). All pages are in very fine condition and the spine/binding is… in exceedingly tight and square unread condition (see photographs). Harperluxe is the Larger Print volume; "Seeing is Believing". "Provocative, inspiring, and unflinchingly honest, My Grandfather's Son is the story of one of America's most remarkable and controversial leaders, Supreme Court justice Clarence Thomas, told in his own words. Thomas was born in rural Georgia on June 23, 1948, into a life marked by poverty and hunger. His parents divorced when Thomas was still a baby, and his father moved north to Philadelphia, leaving his young mother to raise him and his brother and sister on the ten dollars a week she earned as a maid. At age seven, Thomas and his six-year-old brother were sent to live with his mother's father, Myers Anderson, and her stepmother in their Savannah home. It was a move that would forever change Thomas's life. His grandfather, whom he called "Daddy", was a black man with a strict work ethic, trying to raise a family in the years of Jim Crow. Thomas witnessed his grandparents' steadfastness despite injustices, their hopefulness despite bigotry, and their deep love for their country. His own quiet ambition would propel him to Holy Cross and Yale Law School, and eventually - despite a bitter, highly contested public confirmation - to the highest court in the land. In this candid and deeply moving memoir, a quintessential American tale of hardship and grit, Clarence Thomas recounts his astonishing journey for the first time, and pays homage to the man who made it possible.".

Hardcover. Condizione: Very good. Condizione sovraccoperta: Very good. [8],420, [2] pages. Includes Author's Note, Prologue, and Acknowledgments. Some page discoloration noted. Review comment sticker on the front of the DJ. Christopher Whitcomb is an American author and former member of the FBI's Hostage Rescue Team. He also app…eared as an "expert" on the NBC game show Identity. Whitcomb spent 15 years with the FBI, and worked on many high-profile cases. These included the Waco Siege, LA Riots, and Ruby Ridge. His final assignment with the FBI consisted of working with the Critical Incident Response Group. Whitcomb began his FBI career in 1987, as a Special Agent in the Kansas City Field Office, where he distinguished himself as an assaulter and sniper, winning the FBI's Medal of Bravery for exceptional courage in the line of duty. He has participated in nearly every high-profile federal investigation over the past 10 years, including the L.A. riots, shootings at Ruby Ridge, the Branch Davidian standoff, the World Trade Center and Olympic bombings, the Montana Militia standoff, overseas fugitive apprehensions, dignitary protection details, witness protection, investigation into the war crimes in Kosovo and the Cole bombing in Yemen. In 1997, Whitcomb was promoted to supervisor and became an interview/interrogation instructor at the FBI academy in Quantico. He created the NACBOMB: Integrated Case Scenario, a 16-week curriculum that serves as the basis for all FBI new agent training. He has instructed hundreds of different local, state, federal, and foreign law enforcement agents/officers, including UNSCOM weapons inspectors in Iraq. Prior to joining the FBI, Whitcomb worked two years as speechwriter and press secretary to U.S. Representative Silvio O. Conte (R-MA), the ranking member of the House Appropriations Committee. He is a former reporter and feature writer. Cold Zero is a blistering first-person account of life inside the FBI and its elite Hostage Rescue Team. Of the hundreds of thousands of U.S. law enforcement officers, only 200 have ever been in Christopher Whitcomb's highly trained and specialized branch of the FBI. Equivalent to the Navy's SEALs and the Army's Delta Force, the Hostage Rescue Team is charged with terrorist capture, hostage release, and other emergencies in the United States and around the world. Whitcomb is the first HRT member ever to write about his experience. After joining the HRT in 1991, Whitcomb was sent on missions to Ruby Ridge, Waco, and Kosovo. Derived from a Kirkus review: A cocky yet intelligent account of the making and actions of an FBI Hostage Rescue Team operator, by one of their own. After a painful amount of training, the Hostage Rescue Team, like firefighters and spies, sit through long periods of tedium, interrupted by furious, adrenaline-charged activity. Special Agent Whitcomb very neatly blends his tough guy patter with unexpected and pleasing wordplay: "Even at 2:07 a.m., the air feels rheumy against my skin." He explains how he got involved in the FBI in the first place; his extensive academy training; a whole lot of technical information on the tools of his trade; his first years on the job; and his preparation to join the Hostage Rescue Team as a sniper. This is all impressive stuff, but the meat of the story comes in the blow-by-blow narratives of his more high-profile missions. These include the unpleasantness up on Ruby Ridge in Idaho, busts of drug gangs, and a journey into the killing grounds of Kosovo. Most dreadfully, he was also part of the disaster in Waco. Whitcomb is not your standard-issue killing machine; he has feelings and he is not afraid to speak them. The gassing and deaths of children at the Branch Davidian compound tear him to pieces, but as he notes, it took the FBI apart as well. He believes that a better organization can rise in its stead, that "we could heal," and so he keeps at the job, understanding that he can do good in the shadow of the past. Whitcomb is just the kind of guy who could restore a bit of faith in th. Deborah Feingold (Author photograph) (illustratore).

From Wikipedia: "Barack Hussein Obama II (born August 4, 1961) is the 44th President of the United States, and the first African American to hold the office. Obama i…s a graduate of Columbia University and Harvard Law School, where he served as president of the Harvard Law Review. He worked as a civil rights attorney and taught constitutional law at University of Chicago Law School from 1992 to 2004. He served three terms representing the 13th District in the Illinois Senate from 1997 to 2004. In 2004, Obama received national attention with his victory in the March Democratic Party primary, his keynote address at the Democratic National Convention in July, and his election to the Senate in November. He defeated Republican nominee John McCain in the general election, and was inaugurated as president on January 20, 2009. Obama was reelected president in November 2012, defeating Republican nominee Mitt Romney, and was sworn in for a second term on January 20, 2013." The Audacity of Hope: Thoughts on Reclaiming the American Dream is the second book written by then-Senator Barack Obama. It became number one on both the New York Times and Amazon bestsellers lists in the fall of 2006, after Obama had been endorsed by Oprah Winfrey. In the book, Obama expounds on many of the subjects that became part of his 2008 campaign for the presidency. The book advance from the publisher totaled $1.9 million contracted for three books. Obama announced his ultimately successful presidential campaign on February 10, 2007, a little more than three months after the book's release. The title of The Audacity of Hope was derived from a sermon delivered by Barack Obama's former pastor, Jeremiah Wright. Wright had attended a lecture by Frederick G. Sampson in Richmond, Virginia, in the late 1980s, on the G. F. Watts painting Hope, which inspired him to give a sermon in 1990 based on the subject of the painting - "with her clothes in rags, her body scarred and bruised and bleeding, her harp all but destroyed and with only one string left, she had the audacity to make music and praise God . To take the one string you have left and to have the audacity to hope . that's the real word God will have us hear from this passage and from Watt's painting." Having attended Wright's sermon, Obama later adapted Wright's phrase "audacity to hope" to "audacity of hope" which became the title for his 2004 Democratic National Convention keynote address, and the title of his second book. While a Senate candidate, Obama delivered the keynote address at the 2004 Democratic Convention, entitled The Audacity of Hope that propelled him to national prominence. In the less than twenty minutes it took to deliver the speech, Obama was catapulted to sudden fame, with many analysts predicting that he might be well positioned to enter a future presidential race. In 2006, Obama released The Audacity of Hope, a book-length account that expanded upon many of the same themes he originally addressed in the convention speech. First edition. First Edition [stated].
