Includes Praise for All the Light We Cannot See; List of Other Books by Anthony Doerr; Author Dedication; Preliminary Page Quotes and Acknowledgments. "The magnificent #1 New York Times Bestseller." Winner of the Pulitzer Prize. National Book Award Finalist. The New York Times Book Review 10 Best Books 2014. First edition, first printing. "This jewel of a story is put together like a vintage timepiece, its many threads coming together so perfectly. Doerr's writing and imagery are stunning. It's been a while since a novel had me under its spell in this fashion." - Abraham Verghese, author. "Doerr sees the world as a scientist, but feels it as a poet. He knows about everything - radios, diamonds, mollusks, birds, flowers, locks, guns - but he also writes a line so beautiful, creates an image or scene so haunting, it makes you think forever differently about the big things - love, fear, cruelty, kindness, the countless facets of the human heart. Wildly suspenseful, structurally daring, rich in detail and soul, Doerr's new novel is that novel, the one you savor, and ponder, and happily lose sleep over, then go around urging all your friends to read - now." - J.R. Moehringer, author. "[The book] is a dazzling, epic work of fiction. Anthony Doerr writes beautifully about the mythic and the intimate, about snails on beaches and armies on the move, about fate and love and history and those breathless, unbearable moments when they all come crashing together." - Jess Walter, author. "A tender exploration of this world's paradoxes: the beauty of the laws of nature and the terrible ends to which war subverts them, the frailty and the resilience of the human heart, the immutability of a moment and the healing power of time. The language is as expertly crafted as the master locksmith's models in the story, and the settings as intricately evoked. A compelling and uplifting novel." - M.L. Stedman, author. "Marie-Laure lives with her father in Paris near the Museum of Natural History, where he works as the master of its thousands of locks. When she is six, Marie-Laure goes blind and her father builds a perfect miniature of their neighborhood so she can memorize it by touch and navigate her way home. When she is twelve, the Nazis occupy Paris and father and daughter fell to the walled citadel of Saint-Maol, where Marie-Laure's reclusive great-uncle lives in a tall house by the sea. With them they carry what might be the museum's most valuable and dangerous jewel. In a mining town in Germany, the orphan Werner grows up with his younger sister, enchanted by a crude radio they find. Werner becomes an expert at building and fixing these crucial new instruments, a talent that wins him a place at a brutal academy for Hitler Youth, then a special assignment to track the resistance. More and more aware of the human cost of his intelligence, Werner travels through the heart of the war and, finally, into Saint-Malo, where his story and Marie-Laure's converge. Doerr's "stunning sense of physical detail and gorgeous metaphors" (San Francisco Chronicle) are dazzling. Deftly interweaving the lives of Marie-Laure and Werner, he illuminates the ways, against all odds, people try to be good to one another. Ten years in the writing, [the book] is a magnificent, deeply moving novel from a writer "whose sentences never fail to thrill" (Los Angeles Times)" - from the rear outer cover.

"A vivid and fascinating look at American history through the prism of the country's most storied highway, the Boston Post Road. During its evolution from Indian trails to modern interstates, the Boston Post Road, a system of overland routes between New York City and Boston, has carried not just travelers and mail but the march of American history itself. Eric Jaffe captures the progress of people and culture along the road through four centuries, from its earliest days as the king of England's "best highway" to the current era. Centuries before the telephone, radio, or Internet, the Boston Post Road was the primary conduit of America's prosperity and growth. News, rumor, political intrigue, financial transactions, and personal missives traveled with increasing rapidity, as did people from every walk of life. From post riders bearing the alarms of revolution, to coaches carrying George Washington on his first presidential tour, to railroads transporting soldiers to the Civil War, the Boston Post Road has been essential to the political, economic, and social development of the United States. Continuously raised, improved, rerouted, and widened for faster and heavier traffic, the road played a key role in the advent of newspapers, stagecoach travel, textiles, mass-produced bicycles and guns, commuter railroads, automobiles - even Manhattan's modern grid. Many famous Americans traveled the highway, and it drew the keeen attention of such diverse personages as Benjamin Franklin, Franklin D. Roosevelt, P.T. Barnum, J.P. Morgan, and Robert Moses. Eric Jaffe weaves this entertaining narrative with a historian's eye for detail and a journalist's flair for storytelling. A cast of historical figures, celebrated and unknown alike, tells the lost tale of this road. Revolutionary printer William Goddard created a postal network that united the colonies against the throne. General Washington struggled to hold the highway during the battle for Manhattan. Levi Pease convinced Americans to travel by stagecoach until, half a century later, Nathan Hale convinced them to go by train. Abe Lincoln, still a dark-horse candidate in early 1860, embarked on a railroad speaking tour along the route that clinched the presidency. Bomb builder Lester Barlow, inspired by the Post Road's notorious traffic, nearly sold Congress on a national system of expressways twenty-five years before the Interstate Highway Act of 1956. Based on extensive travels of the highway, interviews with people living up and down the road, and primary sources unearthed from the great libraries between New York City and Boston - including letters, maps, contemporaneous newspapers, and long-forgotten government docuuments - The King's Best Highway is a delightful read for American history buffs and lovers of narrative everywhere." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps.

Hardcover. Condizione: As New. Condizione sovraccoperta: As New. Carter, Amy (illusttrations); Sasahara, Ellen R. (book design); Howard, Billy (author photograph) (illustratore). 1st Edition. As new condition textured beige boards and beige spine with red spine lettering contained in an as new condition non price-clipped color illustrated dust jacket. Includes List of Other Books by Jimmy Carter; Author Dedication and About the Author. Illustrated with black-and-white drawings and color jacket front painting by Amy Carter. "In a beautifully rendered portrait, Jimmy Carter remembers the Christmas days of his Plains boyhood - the simplicity of family and community gift-giving, his father's eggnog, the children's house decorations, the school Nativity pageant, the fireworks, Luke's story of the birth of Christ, and the poignancy of his black neighbors' poverty. Later, away at Annapolis, he always went home to Plains, and during his Navy years, when he and Rosalynn were raising their young family, they spent their Christmases together re-creating for their children the holiday festivities of their youth. Since the Carters returned home to Plains for good, they have always been there on Christmas day, with only one exception in forty-eight years: In 1980, with Americans held hostage in Iran, Jimmy, Rosalynn, and Amy went by themselves to Camp David, where they felt lonely. Amy suggested that they invite the White House staff and their families to join them and to celebrate. Nowadays the Carters' large family is still together at Christmastime, offering each other the gifts and the lifelong rituals that mark this day for them. With the novelist's eye that enchanted readers of his memoir An Hour Before Daylight, Jimmy Carter has written another American classic, in the tradition of Truman Capote's A Christmas Memory and Dylan Thomas's A Child's Christmas in Wales." - from the inner front jacket flap.

"A true visionary, Steve Case understood years ago the tectonic shifts that were to occur in society. Case's book, The Third Wave, clarifies for leaders the decisions necessary to thrive in an increasingly disrupted future." Alvin and Heidi Toffler, authors of the original The Third Wave (1908). "One of the world's most accomplished entrepreneurs - a pioneer who made the Internet part of everyday life - shares his vision of the future. Steve Case draws on his decades of pioneering work as an entrepreneur and an investor to explain how we are entering a new era, ne that will upend major industires and create a renaissance of entrepreneurship: the "Third Wave" of the Internet. The First Wave saw AOL and other companies lay the foundation for consumers to connect to the Internet. In the Second Wave, companies like Google and Facebook built upon the Internet to create search and social networking capabilities, while apps like Snapchat and Instagram leveraged the smartphone revolution to become overnight successes. Now, Case argues, we're entering the Third Wave: a period in which enterepreneurs will use technology to revolutionize major "real world" sectors - including healthcare, edducation, transportation, energy, and food - and in the process transform the way we live. Part memoir, part manifesto, part playbook for the future, The Third Wave is essential reading for anyone who whats to survive - and to thrive - in this rapidly changing digital age." - from the inner front jacket flap.
