Paperback. Condizione: Fair. In The Blacker the Berry., a classic yet provocative novel written during the Harlem Renaissance, a young woman must reckon with colorism in the Black community as she navigates 1920s New York City. One of the most widely read and controversial works of the Harlem Renaissance, The Blacker the Berry.was the first novel to openly explore prejudice within the Black community. This pioneering novel found a way beyond the bondage of Blackness in American life to a new meaning in truth and beauty. Emma Lou Brown's dark complexion is a source of sorrow and humiliation--not only to herself, but to her lighter-skinned family and friends and to the white community of Boise, Idaho, her hometown. As a young woman, Emma travels to New York's Harlem, hoping to find a safe haven in the Black Mecca of the 1920s. Wallace Thurman recreates this legendary time and place in rich detail, describing Emma's visits to nightclubs and dance halls and house-rent parties, her sex life and her catastrophic love affairs, her dreams and her disillusions--and the momentous decision she makes in order to survive. A lost classic of Black American literature, The Blacker the Berry.is a compelling portrait of the destructive depth of racial bias in this country. A new introduction by Shirlee Taylor Haizlip, author of The Sweeter the Juice, highlights the timelessness of the issues of race and skin color in America.…

Hardback. Condizione: Very Good. Imagine a grunge nort Jersey version of John McPhee's classic The Pine Barrens and you'll get some idea of the idiosyncratic, fact-filled, and highly original work that is Robert Sullivan's The Meadowlands. Just five miles west of New York City, this vilified, half-developed, half-untamed, much dumped-on, and sometimes odiferous tract of swampland is home to rare birds and missing bodies, tranquil marshes and a major sports arena, burning garbage dumps and corporate headquarters, the remains of the original Penn Station--and maybe, just, maybe, of the late Jimmy Hoffa. Robert Sullivan proves himself to be this fragile yet amazingly resilient region's perfect expolorer, historian, archaeologist, and comic bard. …

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. Is having somebody to love the most important thing in your life? Do you constantly believe that with the right man you would no longer feel depressed or lonely? Are you bored with nice guys who are open, honest, and dependable? If being in love means being in pain, this book was written for you. Therapist Robin Norwood describes loving too much as a pattern of thoughts and behavior, which certain women develop as a response to problems from childhood. Many women find themselves repeatedly drawn into unhappy and destructive relationships with men. They then struggle to make these doomed relationships work. This bestselling book takes a hard look at how powerfully addictive these unhealthy relationships are--but also gives a very specific program for recovery from the disease of loving too much. …

Paperback. Condizione: Fair. As its title implies, this book deals with revising, not with original composition. In business writing, where a first draft often emerges quickly under the pressures of facts, figures, and deadlines, revision is typically the major part of a writing task, and collaborative revision often produces the final document. Revising Business Prose provides detailed revision guidance and a collaborative approach to writing easily applied to writing in business, industry, government, and academics. Based on the premise that bad writing in organizations imitates the bureaucratic style The Official Style, as it's called here this book shows readers how to transform stilted, dense prose into plain English. For anyone interested in the revision process in every business writing context.…

Paperback. Condizione: Good. As the old saying goes, You can catch more flies with honey than with vinegar. Likewise, there is more to be gained through encouragement than most of us realize. So many people go through life -- work, school, and marriage -- full of discouragement, never really knowing the amount of personal potential that has been restricted by others and by themselves due to negative environments around them. Dr. Lewis Losoncy, known to his many followers as The Encouragement Doctor, directs readers to practical and easy-to-use suggestions for attacking the very heart of discouragement and reveals how to turn negative situations into positive ones. The book identifies the 10 symptoms or key patterns that typify discouraged people -- factors that most of us never recognize in others or ourselves. The author teaches readers how to overcome the deflating dynamics of discouragement and how to recognize the 4 basic techniques used by others on us: domination, insensitivity, silence, and the ever-popular intimidation. This book doesn't waste time with philosophical points and jargon; here is direct, to-the-point exercises that teach how to give non-evaluative responses when confronting discouraged individuals. Learn how to create ideal, encouraging relationships (at home, work, school, on teams); learn how to encourage others to take action; find out how to spot the signs of discouragement in others and how to overcome them. No more blaming; no more preoccupation with revenge; stop avoiding situations; take charge. This book can help you accomplish all of these and more.…
