very good dust-jacket, cover price $27.95, fresh attractive copy, very good gray hardcover, appears unused. GOODMAN, RUTH. The domestic revolution: how the introduction of coal into Victorian homes changed everything. New York, NY: Liveright Publishing Corporation, a division of W. W. Norton & Company, 2020, stated First American edition, and 1st printing number line starting with 1, xxi, 330pp., . "'The queen of living history' (Lucy Worsley) returns with an immersive account of how English women sparked a worldwide revolution--from their own kitchens. No single invention epitomizes the Victorian era more than the black cast-iron range. Aware that the twenty-first-century has reduced it to a quaint relic, Ruth Goodman was determined to prove that the hot coal stove provided so much more than morning tea: it might even have kick-started the Industrial Revolution. Wielding the wit and passion seen in How to Be a Victorian, Goodman traces the tectonic shift from wood to coal in the mid-sixteenth century--from sooty trials and errors during the reign of Queen Elizabeth I to the totally smog-clouded reign of Queen Victoria. A pattern of innovation emerges as the women stoking these fires also stoked new global industries: from better soap to clean smudges to new ingredients for cooking. Laced with uproarious anecdotes of Goodman's own experience managing a coal-fired household, this fascinating book shines a hot light on the power of domestic necessity" - CONTENTS: Living off the land -- Out of the woods -- The draw of coal -- London, transformed -- The spreading blaze -- Cooks' tools -- A new menu -- Cleaning-up -- The domestic burden.

Hardcover. Condizione: Very good. Condizione sovraccoperta: Good. xv, [3], 283, [3] pages. Frontis illustration. Dramatis Personae. DJ has some wear and soiling. Jerome Charyn (born May 13, 1937) is an American author. With nearly 50 published works over a 50-year span, Charyn has a long-standing reputation as an inventive and prolific chronicler of real and imagined American life, writing in multiple genres. Michael Chabon calls him "one of the most important writers in American literature." New York Newsday hailed Charyn as "a contemporary American Balzac," and the Los Angeles Times described him as "absolutely unique among American writers." Charyn's books have been translated into French, German, Italian, Spanish, Greek, Chinese and 11 other languages. Raising the literary bar to a new level, Jerome Charyn re-creates the voice of Theodore Roosevelt, the New York City police commissioner, Rough Rider, and soon- to-be twenty-sixth president through his derring-do adventures, effortlessly combining superhero dialogue with haunting pathos. Beginning with his sickly childhood and concluding with McKinley's assassination, the novel positions Roosevelt as a "perfect bull in a china shop," a fearless crime fighter and pioneering environmentalist who would grow up to be our greatest peacetime president.

Terry Golway is a Kean University professor, historian, author, and a journalist, having served as a columnist and editorial board member for The New York Times and a long-time editor and writer at The New York Observer. Golway teaches history at Kean University and is the curator of the university's John T. Kean Center for American History. In 2010 Golway discovered a historic early census count predating the creation of the United States at Liberty Hall National Historic Landmark at Kean. He is the author of several books on American and Irish history. Golway is an occasional op-ed columnist for The New York Times. He served as a political reporter, city editor and columnist for the pink paper, for which he still writes the periodic piece. Derived from a Kirkus review: The story of Tammany Hall, a fraternal organization founded in the late 1700s as a "voice of the common man," mirrors the story of the Irish Catholics in New York City, who had to crack the Anglo-Protestant political order in order to make their way. So argues journalist Golway. Irish Catholic leaders in New York challenged the Protestant elite by pushing back against nativist animosity. As the Irish population of the city swelled from the Great Famine, Tammany embraced and enfranchised these unfortunate masses. The election of William R. Grace, the first Irish Catholic immigrant, as mayor of New York City in 1880 was a watershed. The Triangle Shirt Waist Factory fire of 1911 galvanized Tammany's more promising reform-minded leaders like Robert Wagner and Al Smith to urge for regulatory legislation that inspired Francis Perkins and, later, Franklin Roosevelt. A work that readjusts Tammany's reputation from corruption to a crusader for the downtrodden. First Edition [Stated], First Printing [Stated].

Hardcover. Condizione: Near Fine. Condizione sovraccoperta: Near Fine. 1st Edition. A widely praised and engaging work in the philosophy and history of science, Stevens argues that modern scientific success stems not from pure rationality, but from a disciplined narrowing of acceptable explanations - what he terms the 'iron rule of explanation.' Drawing on episodes from Newtonian physics through quantum mechanics, the book reframes how scientific progress occurs, emphasizing institutional and methodological constraints over individual genius. This first edition copy is clean, tight, and well-preserved, printed on quality stock and featuring a striking frontispiece after Eduardo Paolozzi's Newton. The blue cloth binding with gilt spine lettering remains sharp with no visible wear, and the interior is bright and unmarked throughout. No ownership marks, writing, or blemishes noted. The book grades Near Fine, with only the slightest signs of handling, if any. The original dust jacket is present, unclipped, and equally well-preserved. It shows only minimal edge wear - light softening at the extremities but no chips, tears, or significant rubbing. The copyright page states 'First Edition,' and the number line reads '1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0,' confirming a first printing.

Hardcover. Condizione: Very good. Condizione sovraccoperta: very good. First Printing [Stated]. xii, [2], 268, [6] pages. Illustrations. Ray Negron Timeline. Index. Introduction by Hank Steinbrenner. DJ has slight wear and soiling. If it was not all so true, you'd think it was a fairy tale. A seventeen-year-old from Queens spray paints graffiti on Yankee Stadium and gets nabbed by George Steinbrenner himself. Contrary to his gruff public image, the Boss-driven by a compassionate inner voice-reclaims the teen at a time when the Bronx is literally burning. Thus begins the unlikeliest of baseball stories, one in which Ray Negron is transformed from street kid to batboy and beyond. Befriending many of major league baseball's greatest stars-Billy Martin, Reggie Jackson, Munson, Mantle, Catfish, A-Rod, Jeter, even Mrs. Lou Gehrig-Negron ultimately emerges as a dynamic community leader, dedicating his own life to helping the sick and rescuing generations of city kids from unfulfilled lives. Yankee Miracles is a book about the power of baseball to transform lives, about all those miracles on 161st Street we never knew were there. Ray Negron is a sport's executive with over thirty years experience in baseball who has influenced three generations of baseball players. His first job came from a chance encounter with George Steinbrenner as a youth. Ray was caught by Steinbrenner scrawling a Yankee logo on a Yankee Stadium wall and instead of punishing the erstwhile graffiti artist, Steinbrenner hired him as the Yankee bat boy and propelled him into a "dream job"; sharing the dugout with the "Bronx Zoo Yankees" of the Seventies. Despite his young age, Ray was a positive influence in the fiery clubhouse that included manager Billy Martin, superstar Reggie Jackson, the legendary Thurman Munson, and more. A standout shortstop in Springfield Gardens High School, Ray was a second round draft pick for the Pittsburgh Pirates in 1975. Ray worked with the Cleveland Indians and the Texas Rangers as a team counselor, working behind the scenes to help players handle any off-field challenges before they escalated into insurmountable problems. Ray currently works with the New York Yankees as a personal consultant and is active in community affairs visiting schools and hospitals with the players. In addition, he is also Director of Community Relations for Spalding, America's oldest baseball company, where he has been instrumental in supporting baseball in underprivileged areas with equipment donations and volunteer efforts from some of baseball's biggest stars. Ray has received numerous Humanitarian awards and has been recognized for his work in the community by many organizations. Ray was inducted into the Ted Williams Hall of Fame Museum and the International Latino Sports Hall of Fame. Ray has received an award from the Department of Homeland Security for his achievements and accomplishments as an author and for being a positive role model in the community.Ray is the manager of Hank's Yanks, a youth baseball team consisting of underprivileged youths from the New York City area, Westchester and Long Island, sponsored by New York Yankees co-owner Hank Steinbrenner. Ray's book entitled Yankee Miracles is published by W.W. Norton & Company is a series of short stories.
