Kirkus Review: This colorful yet careful biography of William Randolph Hearst does more to clarify that man, and the "yellow journalism" he started, than anything written to date. From "Willie's" birth in 1863 to fabulously wealthy parents (his miner father later became a senator) to his assumption of control of the San Francisco Examiner, then the New York Journal, to his intervention in the Cuban situation which led to the Spanish-American War, to his political intrigues, fights with Joseph Pulitzer, and screaming anti-trust clash, the story is as rich a slice of Americana as one could find in this century. All the less well-known, or distorted facts about Hearst--- his spell as a Congressman, his business affairs, his long relationship to actress Marion Davies-- are examined too. Through… Read More

The Discovery of an Ancient Empire. Translated from the German by Richard and Clara Winston.

Author"s Note; The following is a fictionalized version of history, written in four parts and consisting solely of a discussion between two fictional newsmen.

Many Photographs.Photography & text by Sam Waagenaar. From Intro: The first things that stride a visitor to Israel about its women is their erect walk, the absence of make-up, the fact that so many of them are pregnant, and that – in Tel Aviv at least -- their husbands apparently enjoy pushing the baby carriages dow Dizengoff Street. It does not take long to discover that man of these facts are interrelated.The country is young. Girls under twenty years of age were, if native born, still in elementary school when the War of Liberation brought independence to Israel. Many of the women between twenty and thirty were shooting it out in the company of male soldiers and those over thirty were part and parcel of the struggle from before it even started. All of them went through a hard school of learning and had to act… Read More

About the book: Drawing on startling new evidence from the mapping of the genome, an explosive new account of the genetic basis of race and its role in the human story
Fewer ideas have been more toxic or harmful than the idea of the biological reality of race, and with it the idea that humans of different races are biologically different from one another. For this understandable reason, the idea has been banished from polite academic conversation. Arguing that race is more than just a social construct can get a scholar run out of town, or at least off campus, on a rail. Human evolution, the consensus view insists, ended in prehistory.
Inconveniently, as Nicholas Wade argues in A Troublesome Inheritance, the consensus view cannot be right. And in fact, we know that populations have changed in… Read More

Undated publication by Grosset and Dunlap. The Song of Hiawatha is an 1855 epic poem, in trochaic tetrameter, by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, featuring an Indian hero and loosely based on legends and ethnography of the Ojibwe (Chippewa, Anishinaabeg) and other Native American peoples contained in Algic Researches and additional writings of Henry Rowe Schoolcraft. In sentiment, scope, overall conception, and many particulars, the poem is very much a work of American Romantic literature, not a representation of Native American oral tradition, although Longfellow insisted, "I can give chapter and verse for these legends. Their chief value is that they are Indian legends."The infectious rhythm… Read More

The sixth book in this series. "Accustomed as he was to public speaking, powerful Swedish industrialist Viktor Palmgren had no idea that his afternoon speech in elegant Hotel Savoy would be so rudely interrupted. Suddenly, in the midst of Palmgren's entertaining remarks, an uninvited guest strolled in, pulled a blue-steel object from his pocket, shot the speaker in the head, and disappeared through an open window. Enter: Chief Inspector Martin Beck, of the National Homicide Squad." Translated from the Swedish by Amy and Ken Knoespel. Jacket illustration by James Barkley.

This memoir of Sholom Aleichem by his youngest daughter is at once the first complete biography of a great writer and a warm and charming evocation of family life in pre-Revolutionary Russia. Although critics in many countries have commented voluminously on the world that Sholom Aleichem created in his stories -- that world of simple villages, of humor and wisdom and moral sensitivity -- his own life, astonishingly, has never before been fully told. And much of it may come as a surprise to the vast audience that has read his stories in English, in Yiddish, in almost every major language spoken today, or seen them transmuted as Fiddler on the Roof. For this man whose writing conjures up the naive… Read More

As a field player who never played goal-keepr I was intimidated a the prospect of coaching this position. This book provided all the information I needed. The information was easy to understand, precise and invaluable and has helped me develop my goal-keepers to their maximum potential. I think it's the only goal-keeper coaching book I'll ever need to use. There is also a companion set of video tapes "Keeper" which are also excellent and I highly recommend them..
