Book
Audio Book (CD). Condition: Good. Politics will be dominating the news this summer as the 2006 Senate races heat up, creating an ideal climate for George Lakoffs new book about freedom. Freedom is one of the most contested words in American political discourse, the keystone to the domestic and foreign policy battles that are racking our polarized nation. For many Democrats, President Bushs use of the word is meaningless and contradictoryapplied opportunistically to justify both American military action abroad and the curtailing of civil liberties at home. But in fact the right has effected a devastatingly coherent and ideological redefinition of freedom.In a deep and alarming analysis, Lakoff argues forcefully what liberals must do to take back ground in this high-stakes war over the most central idea in American life.

Audio Book (Cassette). Condition: Good. Review "A performance so exhilarating that the listener is borne along almost breathless, as if by some force of nature. The variety of emotions she expresses so magnificently is matched by the astonishing range of the voice itself.every scene is superbly performed. More important, all this seems to me to be pure Dickens, just what the author would have delighted in." -- Gramophone"Acclaimed Dickens interpreter Miriam Margolyes does an unabridged reading of Oliver Twist that is a revelation. Margolyes forced me to see a book I hadn't read since high school in all its complexity. With her voice, she conveys Dickens' fury at the suffering of children, his seething contempt for well-fed adults, his rage at corrupt officials. Margolyes' performance is so magnificent that she doesn't so much read Dickens as inhabit his people." -- Deidre Donahue, USA Today, December 3, 1998"Cover to Cover's unabridged readings of classic novels are in a class of their own." -- Sunday Telegraph"[Margolyes] acts with a confidence born of detailed and textual knowledge, making each character individual and distinctive." -- The Sunday Times of London Product Description A poor orphan's struggles for survival in the criminal underworld of mid-nineteenth-century London. About the Author Charles Dickens (1812-1870) is the author of many well-loved classics, including: Nicholas Nickleby, The Old Curiosity Shop, David Copperfield, Bleak House, A Tale of Two Cities, Great Expectations, and the unfinished The Mystery of Edwin Drood. His novels have provided the basis for many successful adaptations in the theatre, in the cinema, on radio, and on television. From AudioFile Miriam Margolyes is one of the finest narrators in the business today. She has a particular flair for Dickens, which she proved on London and American stages in her witty, informed and brilliantly acted monologue, DICKENS'S WOMEN. She proves it again in the recording of OLIVER TWIST one of the author's most popular evergreens, about the little orphan who could.Margolyes skillfully plays in a tte--tte with a mike.She has Dickens's verbal/visual personality down pat and breathes memorable, credible life into each of his many caricatures. One sees the story rather than hears it. She not only communicates the Dickensian world, but convinces us that it is a real world, full of vivid, breathing souls whom we can't help loving, hating, admiring and especially fretting over. Y.R. An AudioFile Earphones Award winner. (c)AudioFile, Portland, Maine.
