Presents Oscar Hijuelos' "Our House In The Last World". His ground-breaking debut. Initially ignored, with most of the copies remaindered, it is now considered a contemporary classic, and remains in print as a Softcover Edition. Contrary to persistent perception, Oscar Hijuelos was not an immigrant American, but a second-generation Cuban-American, that is to say, an American-American. This psychic distance makes his Cuba an imagined place rather than a lost, Edenic past and place that he had to leave behind and try to recover. An inspiring pioneer-figure among Hispanic-American writers, Oscar Hijuelos died prematurely and suddenly on October 12, 2013 at the age of 62, his place in American literature secure, and his contribution of enduring significance. An absolute "must-have" title for Oscar Hijuelos collectors. This copy is very prominently, neatly, and beautifully signed in black ink-pen on the title page by Oscar Hijuelos. It is signed directly on the page itself, not on a tipped-in page. This title is an American classic.

An NPR Best Book of the Year The incredible true story of the last ship to carry enslaved people to America, the remarkable town its survivors founded after emancipation, and the complicated legacy their descendants carry with them to this dayby the journalist who discovered the ship's remains. Fifty years after the Atlantic slave trade was outlawed, the Clotilda became the last ship in history to bring enslaved Africans to the United States. The ship was scuttled and burned on arrival to hide evidence of the crime, allowing the wealthy perpetrators to escape prosecution. Despite numerous efforts to find the sunken wreck, Clotilda remained hidden for the next 160 years. But in 2019, journalist Ben Raines made international news when he successfully concluded his obsessive quest through the swamps of Alabama to uncover one of our nation's most important historical artifacts. Traveling from Alabama to the ancient African kingdom of Dahomey in modern-day Benin, Raines recounts the ship's perilous journey, the story of its rediscovery, and its complex legacy. Against all odds, Africatown, the Alabama community founded by the captives of the Clotilda, prospered in the Jim Crow South. Zora Neale Hurston visited in 1927 to interview Cudjo Lewis, telling the story of his enslavement in the New York Times bestseller Barracoon. And yet the haunting memory of bondage has been passed on through generations. Clotilda is a ghost haunting three communitiesthe descendants of those transported into slavery, the descendants of their fellow Africans who sold them, and the descendants of their American enslavers. This connection binds these groups together to this day. At the turn of the century, descendants of the captain who financed the Clotilda's journey lived nearbywhere, as significant players in the local real estate market, they disenfranchised and impoverished residents of Africatown. From these parallel stories emerges a profound depiction of America as it struggles to grapple with the traumatic past of slavery and the ways in which racial oppression continue to this day. And yet, at its heart, The Last Slave Ship remains optimistican epic tale of one community's triumphs over great adversity and a celebration of the power of human curiosity to uncover the truth about our past and heal its wounds.

A MOST ANTICIPATED BOOK OF THE SUMMER: The New York Times, USA Today, Oprah Daily, Boston Globe, Marie Claire, CrimeReads, Apple Books, Goodreads, Brit + Co, She Reads, BuzzFeed, BookBub, Tag24 "Clémence Michallon is one of the most daring, exciting new voices in psychological suspense; she writes page turners with stunning and surprising depths." #1 New York Times bestselling author Lisa Jewell "Thought-provoking and shocking. A perfect summer read."Mary Kubica, New York Times bestselling author of She's Not Sorry Innocence doesn't bail you out; it just makes you easier to trap. Frida and Gabriel arrive seeking a fresh start at the stunning Ara Hotel in the secluded desert of Escalante, Utah. Once so close they were able to finish each other's sentences, they've grown apart in recent years after a sudden, unspeakable tragedy. Now, at the luxe resort, they are ready to reconnect between dips in the pool and hikes on spectacular desert trails. It all feels like paradiseuntil the dead body of a beautiful young woman who was vacationing at the Ara with her powerful, much older husband is discovered. When the local police arrive and suspicion quickly falls on Gabriel, Frida is forced to revisit memories from their upbringing in a cloistered cult in upstate New York, their dramatic escape, and the scandal that followed. Frida's belief in Gabriel's innocence never wavered at the time, but now even she can't ignore the evidence mounting against him. Alternating between past and present timelines, Our Last Resort builds toward a shattering climax that uncovers the fate of the murdered Ara guest and poses the question: how well do we ever really know those we love? Multi-layered, gripping, and intense, Clémence Michallon's latest suspense novel is a nail-biter until the last page, cementing her status as a major new talent in the genre. Signed by Author(s).

Personally hand signed by the author, Michael Ondaatje, directly to the full title page. NOT a tip in. NOT a bookplate. Dust jacket hand covered in protective archival grade Mylar for many worry free years of reading/collecting! From one of the most influential writers of his generation, a gorgeously surprising poetry collection about memory, history, and the act of looking back Following several of his internationally acclaimed novels, A Year of Last Things is Michael Ondaatje's long-awaited return to poetry. In pieces that are sometimes witty, sometimes moving, and always wise, we journey back through time by way of alchemical leaps, unearthing writings by revered masters, moments of shared tenderness, and the abandoned landscapes we hold on to to rediscover the influence of every border crossed. Moving from a Sri Lankan boarding school to Moličre's chair during his last stage performance, to Bulgarian churches and their icons, to the California coast and his beloved Canadian rivers, Michael Ondaatje casts a brilliant eye that merges memory with the present, in the way memory as the distant shores of art and lost friends continue to influence everything that surrounds him. From his poem "His chair, a narrow bed, a motel room, the fox": At the Hacienda Motel in Los Angeles Sam Cooke was shot dead. 'See that shadow on the wall . . .' All those motels and hotels in literature and song, where X wrote this, where Y got drunk, where Z overdosed. The one Hank Williams was driven past, dead already in his car.

Dust jacket hand covered in protective archival grade Mylar. NATIONAL BESTSELLER ? From the founder of Wikipedia, a sweeping reflection on the global crisis of credibility and knowledge, revealing "the rules of trust" that transformed Wikipedia from a scrappy experiment into a global utility used by billions of people?and how those rules can help others build things that last "An important book . . . both hopeful and practical."?Yuval Noah Harari, bestselling author of Sapiens and 21 Lessons for the 21st Century From the beginning, people predicted Wikipedia's demise. Instead, this global experiment in sharing knowledge and expertise online has become part of the fabric of modern, connected life. Today, every month, people view Wikipedia 11 billion times?just in the English language. The Internet's encyclopedia has become a global utility, like water or electricity, and we rarely pause to consider the extraordinary fact of its existence. Long before it became the biggest collection of knowledge in the history of the world, Wikipedia had to overcome its greatest challenge: getting strangers on the Internet to trust each other. They had to trust that others would not be abusive or uncivil. They had to trust that others would not unfairly change or erase their contributions. They had to trust that people had good intentions. Trust, Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales says, is a treasure. But it is not inanimate, like gold or gems. Trust is a living thing that can and must be cultivated. This book will show you how. And it will reveal how his organization, this one-time punchline, has become a global authority?in the same two decades when the public's trust in everything else, from government to social media, has trended backwards. Every community on earth depends on trust; it underpins our capacity to know things, and it is at an all-time low. Inspiring, approachable, and packed with candid lessons from the early days of Wikipedia, The Seven Rules of Trust is a guide to kickstarting a positive loop of accountability and creativity?and to building things that stand the test of time.

The machine would also counteract fraud, bringing to an end to the corruption and trade of votes; guarantee secrecy; allow a faster and error-proof counting of the votes; remove the danger of disputes over the correct marking of the ballot papers; and allow people with disabilities or those unable to leave their homes to vote at their own domicile (although the machine would have to be physically taken on site).Apart from a few public demonstrations, including those at the 1906 Milan and 1908 Rome exhibitions, in which Ferrari's voting machine earned wide praise, the Votometro appears to have been used only once, for a popular vote organised by the town of Lodi (near Milan) to choose the best work of art to be included in the local museum collection. A parliamentary commission was set up in 1912 to study the viability of voting machines with a view to using them in the upcoming general election, but, despite a positive reception and the support of the Socialist party, all the candidates (including Ferrari's machine) were ruled inefficient, de facto sanctioning the end to the production of the Votometro.
