Hardcover. Condizione: Fine. Condizione sovraccoperta: Fine. 1st Edition. Fine unread condition black boards, black cloth spine, gold front cover lettering and gold spine lettering contained in a fine condition non price-clipped color illustrated dust jacket. Includes Prologue; Within; Coda; References and Resources. "Why "ritua…ls"? My thinking was set in motion by those who, knowing I was a parish minister for many years, asked me for advice about ceremonies and celebrations. They wanted words to use at graduations, funerals, and the welcoming of children. They inquired about grace at family meals, the reaffirmation of wedding vows, and ways to heal wounds suffered in personal conflict. People requested help with the rituals of solitude, such as meditation, prayer, and contemplation. Rituals do not always involve words, occasions, officials, or an audience. Rituals are often silent, solitary, and self-contained. The most powerful rites of passage are reflective - when you look back on your life again and again, paying attention to the rivers you have crossed and the gates you have opened and walked on through, the thresholds you have passed over. I see ritual when people sit together silently by an open fire. Remembering. As human beings have remembered for thousands and thousands of years." - from the rear outer jacket. "Here is the book of a lifetime: a celebration of our everyday lives. Births, weddings, reunions, funerals: These are some of the events that Robert Fulghum explores in this powerful new work. How we change - yet remain constant - from moment to moment, year to year, from one stage of life to another, is Fulghum's memorable theme in From Beginning to End. Here, America's most beloved philosopher and essayist teaches us how to address our personal transformations, large and small, with dignity, love, and acceptance. Whether they are public rituals, anything from weddings to sales meetings; private rituals, such as the saying of grace at a family dinner; or secret passages, such as one's personal greeting of the day, these habits and routines are sacred, as they bring structure and meaning to daily life, enriching who we are both individually and collectively. "Structure gives us a sense of security," Fulghum writes. "And that sense of security is the ground of meaning." In this book, Fulghum prepares us for the whole range of meaningful and spiritual journeys that we take from childhood to old age. Filled with unforgettable anecdotes and practical advice, and replete with Fulghum's signature wit, wisdom, and sagacity, From Beginning to End is a book to cherish, savor , and return to again and again for all the days of our lives." - from the inner front jacket flap. Lambert, J.K. (book design); (illustratore).

Hardcover. Condizione: Fine. Condizione sovraccoperta: Fine. 1st Edition. Fine unread condition black boards, black cloth spine, with gold front cover and spine lettering contained in a fine condition non price-clipped photographic dust jacket. Includes List of Other Books by Caleb Carr; Author Dedication and Preliminary Page Qu…ote by Theodore Roosevelt; Acknowledgments and About the Author. Illustrated with front and rear endpaper maps of Lower Manhattan circa 1897. "In The Angel of Darkness, Caleb Carr brings back the vivid world of his bestselling The Alienist but with a twist: this story is told by the former street urchin Stevie Taggert, whose rough life has given him wisdom beyond his years.Thus New York City, and the groundbreaking alienist Dr. Kreizler himself, are seen anew. It is June 1897. A year has passed since Dr. Laszlo Kreizler, a pioneer in forensic psychiatry, tracked down the brutal serial killer John Beecham with the help of a team of trusted companions and a revolutionary application of the principles of his discipline. Kreizler and his friends - high-living, crime reporter John Schuyler Moore; indomitable, derringer-toting Sara Howard; the brilliant (and bickering) detective brothers Marcus and Lucius Isaacson; powerful and compassionate Cyrus Montrose; and Stevie Taggert, the boy Kreizler saved from a life of street crime - have returned to their former pursuits and tried to forget the horror of the Beecham case. But when the distraught wife of a Spanish diplomat begs Sara's aid, the team reunites to help find her kidnapped infant daughter. It is a case fraught with danger, since Spain and the United States are on the verge of war. Their investigation leads the team to a shocking suspect: a woman who appears to the world to be a heroic nurse and a loving mother, but who may in reality be a ruthless murderer of children. Once again, Caleb Carr proves his brilliant ability to re-create the past, both high life and low. As the horror unfolds, Delmonico's still serves up wondrous meals, and a summer trip to the elegant gambling parlors of Saratoga provides precious keys to the murderer's past. At the same time, we go on revealing journeys into Stevie's New York, a place where poor and neglected children - then as now - turn to crime and drugs at shockingly early ages. Peppered throughout are characters taken from real life and rendered with historical vigor, including suffragist Elizabeth Cady Stanton; painter Albert Pinkham Ryder; and Clarence Darrow, who thunders for the defense in a tense courtroom drama during which the sanctity of American motherhood itself is put on trial. Fast-paced and chilling, The Angel of Darkness is a tour de force, a novel of modern evil in old New York." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps. Lambert, J.K. (book design); Carpenter, Andy (jacket design) (illustratore).

Hardcover. Condizione: As New. Condizione sovraccoperta: As New. 1st Edition. As new condition black boards with gold spine lettering contained in an as new condition black-and-white photographic dust jacket. Includes Praise for The Romanovs; List of Other Books by Robert K. Massie; Author Dedication; Sources and Acknowledgments…; Index and About the Author. Illustrated with two sections of black-and-white photographic plates and a black-and-white family portrait frontispiece. "In July 1991, nine skeletons were exhumed from a shallow mass grave near Ekaterinburg, Siberia, a few miles from the infamous cellar room where the last tsar and his family had been murdered seventy-three years before. But were these the bones of the Romanovs? And if these were their remains -- revealed finally after over seven decades -- where were the bones of the two younger Romanovs supposedly murdered with the rest of the family? The Romanovs: The Final Chapter provides the answers, recounting the horrifying moments of slaughter, revealing the guilt of the cover-up by Lenin and his lieutenants, and then describing in dramatic, suspenseful detail the fascinating and ultimately successful efforts in post-Communist Russia to discover the truth. This unique story, written almost as a detective thriller by Pulitzer Prize winner Robert K. Massie, presents a colorful panorama of contemporary characters -- beginning with two enterprising Russians who, against tremendous odds, finally found the secret burial place; documenting the key roles of U.S. secretary of state James Baker, Russian president Boris Yeltsin, and Great Britain's Prince Philip; and reporting the major scientific dispute between Russian experts and a team of Americans, including Drs. William Maples and Michael Baden - fiercely antagonistic forensic experts whose findings, along with those of DNA scientists from Russia, America, and Great Britain, all contributed to, and then resolved, the controversy. Because two skeletons were missing from the site, all the tantalizing tales of resurrected pretenders again loomed large. Was Anna Anderson, celebrated for over sixty years in newspapers, books, and film, really Grand Duchess Anastasia? If not, who was she? The Romanovs: The Final Chapter answers this question, too. Robert K. Massie's classic Nicholas and Alexandra brought the Russian Imperial family magnificently to life for millions of readers. It is natural, almost inevitable, that this master storyteller and historian should be the one to write the final chapter to this memorable and tragic event." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps. ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Robert K. Massie (January 5, 1929 - December 2, 2019) was born in Lexington, Kentucky, and studied American history at Yale and modern European history at Oxford, which he attended as a Rhodes Scholar. He was president of the Author's Guild from 1987 to 1991. His previous books include Nicholas and ALexandra, Peter the Great, Journey, and Dreadnought. Among his many awards, Massie was awarded the 1981 Pulitzer Prize for Biography for Peter the Great: His Life and World. Lambert, J.K. (book design) (illustratore).

He can take a wild, high-strung horse who has never before been handled and persuade that horse to accept a bridle, saddle, and rider in thirty minutes. His powers may seem like magic, but his amazing "horse sense" is based on a lifetime of experience. Roberts started riding at the age of two, and at the age of thirteen he went alone into the high deserts of Nevada to study mustangs in the wild. What he learned there changed his life forever. [H]e tells about his early days as a rodeo rider in California, his problems with his violent horse-trainer father, who was unwilling to accept Monty's unconventional training methods, his friendship with James Dean, his struggle to be accepted in the professional horse-training community, and the invitation that changed his life - to demonstrate his method of "join-up" to the Queen of England. From his groundbreaking work with horses, Roberts has acquired an unprecedented understanding of nonverbal communication, an understanding that applies to human relationships as well. He has shown that between parent and child, employee and employer (he's worked with over 25 0 corporations, including General Motors, IBM, Disney, and Merrill Lynch), and abuser and abused, there are forms of communication far stronger than the spoken word and that they are accessible to all who will learn to listen."-jacket ; beige and green cloth with gold lettering, in color photograhpic dustjacket ; FINE/FINE.

Includes List of Other Books by John Irving; Author Dedication; and About the Author. Illustrated with a sec…tion of black-and-white photographic plates. "When I feel like being a director, I write a novel." - John Irving, from My Movie Business. "John Irving's memoir begins with his account of the distinguished career and medical writings of the novelist's grandfather Dr. Frederick C. Irving, a renowned obstetrician and gynecologist, and includes Mr. Irving's incisive history of abortion politics in the United States. But My Movie Business focuses primarily on the thirteen years John Irving spent adapting his novel The Cider House Rules for the screen - for four different directors. Mr. Irving also writes about the failed effort to make his first novel, Setting Free the Bears, into a movie; about two of the films that were made from his novels (but not from his screenplays), The World According to Garp and The Hotel New Hampshire; about his slow progress at shepherding his screenplay of A Son of the Circus into production. Not least, and in addition to its qualities as a memoir - anecdotal, comic, affectionate, and candid - My Movie Business is an insightful essay on the essential differences between writing a novel and writing a screenplay. The photographs in My Movie Business were taken by Stephen Vaughan, the still photographer on the set of The Cider House Rules - a Miramax production directed by Lasse Hallstrom, with Michael Caine in the role of Dr. Larch. Concurrently with the November 1999 release of the film, Talk Miramax Books will publish John Irving's screenplay." - from the inner front jacket flap. Lambert, J.K.

I read it till dawn." - Edmund White. "John Berendt has written a gorgeous and haunting blend of travel book and murder mystery. It is enchanting and disturbing and deeply atmospheric." - Michael Herr. "John Berendt has the ability to make the truth read like an exciting novel. This book is original, funny, and bleak - and it beckons quite alluringly to armchair adventurers who are as curious about human nature as about the nature of certain places. I finished reading it convinced that Savannah, itself, may be the greatest performance artist of our day." - Ann Beattie. "All the old passions are on parade through New South Savannah in John Berendt's wickedly funny new book." - Richard Russo. "Shots rang out in Savannah's grandest mansion in the misty, early morning hours of May 2, 1981. Was it murder or self-defense? For nearly a decade, the shooting and its aftermath reverberated throughout this hauntingly beautiful city of moss-hung oaks and shaded squares. John Berendt's sharply observed, suspenseful, and witty narrative reads like a thoroughly engrossing novel, and yet it is a work of nonfiction. Berendt skillfully interweaves a hugely entertaining first-person account of life in this isolated remnant of the Old South with the unpredictable twists and turns of a landmark murder case. It is a spellbinding story peopled by a gallery of remarkable characters: the well-bred society ladies of the Married Woman's Card Club; the turbulent young redneck gigolo; the hapless recluse who owns a bottle of poison so powerful it could kill every man, woman, and child in Savannah; the aging and profane Southern belle who is the "soul of pampered self-absorption:; the uproariously funny black drag queen; the acerbic and arrogant antiques dealer; the sweet-talking, piano-playing con artist; young blacks dancing the minuet at the black debutante ball; and Minerva, the voodoo priestess who works her magic in the graveyard at midnight. These and other Savannahians act as a Greek chorus, with Berendt revealing the alliances, hostilities, and intrigues that thrive in a town where everyone knows everyone else. Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil: A Savannah Story is a sublime and deductive reading experience. Brilliantly conceived and masterfully written, this enormously engaging portrait of a most beguiling Southern city is certain to become a modern classic." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps.

Includes Author Dedicat…ion; Preliminary Page Note from Nancy Reagan; Acknowledgments; and Photo Credits. Profusely illustrated with black-and-white photographs. Signed by Nancy Reagan with blue Sharpie/marker just below her printed name on the full title page. "Starting in 1950 shortly after they met, and up through the 1990s, Ronald Reagan wrote letters to his wife, Nancy. In this beautiful book, those extraordinary letters are woven into a moving portrait of a long and loving marriage, as Nancy Reagan shares not only the letters but also her reflections on them, and on the life that she and Ronald Reagan shared, from courtship, young marriage, and the White House years on through to her life today. No matter what else was going on or where he was traveling to make movies or for General Electric, in the California governor's office, at the White House, on Air Force One, or sometimes even just across the room - Ronald Reagan wrote letters to Nancy Reagan, to express his love, thoughts, and feelings, and to stay in touch. This rare book offers unique insight into one of America's most famous couples and into the love story they lived. Through letters and reflections, the characters, personalities, and lives of an American president and his first lady are revealed. Over half a century, we see how Ronald Reagan wrote from the heart to the person he was closest to. Nancy Reagan comments on the letters, and writes with love and insight about her husband and the many phases of their life together. She describes how they met and fell in love and how their love grew over a long, eventful, and happy marriage, and she recalls the central role that letters, as well as cards and telegrams, played in their lives. The private life of this happy couple comes vividly alive in this special American story." - from the inner front jacket flap. Lambert, J.K. (book design) (illustratore). Signed by Author(s).
