Book First Edition
Paperback. Condition: Fine. First Edition. First Printing. A FINE, bright, clean, tight, scholar/collector-worthy copy. Nominated for the Edgar Allan Poe Award for 2002. "The Maltese Falcon,' "The Glass Key," " The Thin Man"-the novels of Dashiell Hammett are world-famous, their hardboiled characters a part of the American psyche. but unlike most of our great writers, the man himself has remained private, elusive. Now his biographer, Richard Layman, and his granddaughter, Julie M. Rivett, have gathered a treasure trove of Hammett's letters, almost all of them from private collections, almost all of them previously unpublished. "Reading them," writes Diane Johnson, "is the closest we can come to knowing the enigmatic, mild author of those powerful, original novels." Here, in his own words, is Hammett the family man, distant but devoted, late with the check but never too late; Hammett the student of political affairs, scanning the headlines from a Marxist perspective; Hammett the lover of Lillian Hellman, delighting in her style, her humor, and her accomplishments, yet always maintaining his life apart from hers. Celebrity, soldier, activist, survivor-Hammett was each in turn. But he was always, above all else, a writer, the master of a spare, conversational American style." 650 pages. Dick Lochte's Los Angeles Times DJ blurb exults: "The key revelations are personal: self-portraits of the author as doting father, unremitting drunk, self-educated intellectual, committed Marxist, patriot, soft touch, seducer, and romantic." NOTE: Due to size/weight of the book additonal shipping cost will be required for out-of-U.S. shipment. GH4.

Hardcover first edition - First printing. A slim volume of six new essays on sustainability and stewardship. In them he expresses the hope that people will learn once more to care for their local communities. He emphasizes that "the renewed development of local economies would help preserve rural diversity despite the burgeoning global economy that threatens to homogenize and compromise communities all over the world. From modern health care to the practice of forestry, from local focus to national resolve, there can never be a separation between global ecosystems and human communities - the two are intricately connected." xii, 109 pp. Fine in fine dust jacket.

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. Amy Evans McClure (Jacket Design) (illustrator). 331 pp. Solidly bound copy and dj with moderate external wear, crisp pages and clean text. Synopsis: Messy. Clumsy. Volatile. Exciting. These words are not often associated with the sciences, which for most people still connote exactitude, elegance, reliability, and a rather plodding certainty. But the real story is something quite different. The sciences are less about the ability to know and to control than they are about the unleashing of new forces, new capacities for changing the world. The sciences as practiced exist not in some pristine world of "objectivity," but in what Mike Fortun and Herb Bernstein call "the muddled middle." This book explores the way science makes sense of the world and how the world makes sense of science. It is also about politics and culture-how these forces shape the sciences and are shaped by it in turn. Think of Muddling Through as the basic text for a new kind of literacy project, a project to re-imagine the sciences as complex operations of language, action, and thought-as attempts, trials, limited experiments. The sciences provide us with the images and metaphors we apply to myriad situations and phenomena, and create the blueprints we use to make and legitimate crucial social decisions. If democracies are to meet the challenge of the ever more critical world-making role of the sciences, they must fundamentally shift their attention and their attitudes. The quest for social or political mastery of the sciences will have to end; the new journey will begin with a trip to the muddled middle. Travel, then, with historian Fortun and physicist Bernstein from the workshops of fifteenth-century England to a present-day quantum physics laboratory. Stop at a military toxic waste dump, a courtroom, a colony of baboons. Along the way you might shed your faith in pure inquiry, see the limits of value-free rationality, and breathe the fresh air of change.

Book First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. Berriault, Gina (illustrator). First Edition/First Printing. This is a beautiful copy of "The Great Petrowski." In the last year of her life, critically acclaimed novelist Gina Berriault wrote and illustrated "The Great Petrowski," an ecological fable about a lonely parrot, lost in a nameless rainy city, homesick for a place he can't quite remember. But Petrowski, blessed with a dazzling singing voice, quickly skyrockets from obscurity to international reknown. As a magnificent opera star he finds true love and uses his gift of fame to save not only his native rainforest but all creatures of the earth. The charming illustrations, rendered with the same simplicity and wit as the text, will remind some of Sempe, of Edward Gorey, or of Bemelman's bar at the Hotel Carlyle. "The Great Petrowski" is a magical love story as well as a moral fable that shows how the gift of talent and dedication to one's art can aid a troubled world.
