Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. An elephant stands before you, unmistakably pink. An authoritative guide explains that it is rare, naturally colored, and extraordinarily valuable. Then the paint begins to run.What changed? The elephant was pink when you saw it. But the explanation that made its color meaningful was false.That gap-between what reaches us and what becomes true enough to organize our lives-is the subject of The Pink Elephant Problem. Every claim arrives through perception, memory, emotion, language, culture, testimony, and institutions. Before it can guide action, it must pass through an individual. Yet individual judgments do not remain private. They become records, classifications, prices, histories, orthodoxies, permissions, and public consequences.Drawing on examples from luxury branding, bank runs, scientific classification, religious upheaval, legal evidence, historical memory, and synthetic media, James Allister Odd follows belief as it moves from one mind into systems of authority. He asks how evidence becomes credible, why apparent consensus can conceal private doubt, when acceptance changes behavior or social reality, and what remains stubbornly independent of what anyone believes.This is not an argument that every belief is equally true, nor a promise that perfect objectivity is available if we simply try harder. It is an investigation of the difficult ground between those positions: the place where facts, filters, institutions, and power meet.Written for curious readers rather than specialists, The Pink Elephant Problem asks a provocative question with practical consequences: What can correction repair after belief has already changed the world? A provocative, accessible inquiry into what happens between seeing and believing-how information becomes accepted truth, public authority, and consequence. This item is printed on demand.

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. DANIEL MERCER IS NOT AN INTELLIGENCE OFFICER. THAT IS WHY THEY CAN USE HIM.At twenty-five, with a wife and young daughter depending on him, Daniel joins the Air Force and chooses a safe technical trade: encrypted communications. His job is to keep secrets moving. It is not to ask where they go.Then he restores a failing circuit inside a restricted building at Robins Air Force Base. The voices at the distant end begin asking for him by name. After a courier mission to Colombia ends in gunfire, Daniel returns with a medal in his file and blood he cannot explain at home. The Air Force calls it valor. Somewhere else, it is entered as a qualification.His next assignment comes with official orders, a Russian passport, and a British escort who knows how little Daniel has been told. In Georgia, an unstable boundary separates those giving the orders from those expected to die for them. Daniel was not chosen for what he knows. He was chosen for what he has shown himself willing to do.Then an apartment explodes. Gunmen enter the smoke. Buried in the ruins, Daniel raises his pistol and finds that the trigger will not move.It may be the first useful thing he has failed to do. A young Air Force cryptographic technician is drawn, one favor at a time, into a deniable operation spanning Colombia and Georgia-and learns that the most dangerous order is the one nobody will admit giving.

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. Why does some music reach us-and other music leave us cold?Technical ability matters. But it is not the whole of musicianship.The Hidden Shape of Music introduces a theoretical model built from three interacting dimensions: tonal, performative, and expressive capacity. Drawing on music history, listening psychology, culture, and lived experience, James Allister Odd asks why virtuosity can feel distant, why an imperfect voice can become unforgettable, and why the right combination of musicians can create something none could make alone.From Nina Simone, Neil Young, and Jeff Buckley to Pink Floyd, Radiohead, Rush, hip-hop, soul, and beyond, this book offers musicians and listeners a language for understanding how music connects-without reducing its mystery to a score. A practical, research-informed model of tonal, performative, and expressive musicianship-and how musicians, ensembles, cultures, and listeners shape musical connection.

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. Cricket can look impenetrable from an American sports culture. Its vocabulary is unfamiliar, its matches range from an evening to five days, and its rules are often explained through traditions newcomers were never taught.This revised guide begins with the game's history, then explains the field, scoring, formats, and strategy. Its central section gives a practical account of all forty-two MCC Laws, based on the 2017 Code, fourth edition (2026), while distinguishing the universal Laws from competition playing conditions.James Allister Odd approaches cricket as a student of the game whose curiosity began in family papers connected with an English cricket-bat business. The result is a source-conscious invitation to understand cricket in its own terms. A clear American introduction to cricket's history, formats, strategy, and all forty-two MCC Laws, distinguishing the universal Laws from competition playing conditions.

Soft cover. Etat : Good. James T. Phillips. Notes on the Caroline, Marshall, Mariana, and Palau (Pelew) Islands under Japanese Mandate. Printed for the Honolulu Chamber of Commerce, 1944. 9"x 6", 14pp. Original wrappers. Provenance: Pamphlet Collection, Library of Congress, with their mostly-faded rubber stamp on the front right corner, and their 10mm "LC" perforated stamp at bottom center front. There is also a rubber stamped reception date of the LC for April 1945 on the back of the front wrapper noting the item was a gift from the author. GOOD copy, 5/10. There is some bumping to the top right corner that goes through the pamphlet, as well as an old vertical crease going through the pamphlet, probably from being folded and stuck into a pocket. [++] This is an odd publication, published by Tice with printed date of 15 September 1944 and then, I guess, printed for redistribution by the Honolulu Chamber of Commerce (printed date 6 October 1944 just weeks later. There is no printing/publishing info here to know exactly when this doc was printed, except that it went through channels (probably for copyright) and received by the LC in April 1945. [++] The pamphlet was intended to supply business info to Honolulu business people "who may be considering the expansion of their business, either to the areas referred to or because of the effect of business there on production and distribution in Honolulu." How this was possible when there was martial law in Hawaii and a no-trade rule with Japan, I don't know. [++] What is odd is that there is nearly no mention at all of military action there is a statement on page 8 that the Japanese claimed that "no forced labor was necessary" at Palau (Pelilieu) oe Saipan, which was absolutely not the case. Labor was conscripted, and enforced, and the workers paid little or no money with severe consequences for not working. Plus there was heavy indoctrination, resulting in many hundreds of civilians who jumped from high cliffs in Saipan to avoid being captured by the Marines there were also armed soldiers ensuring that the civilians did this. [++] There's quite a bit of unexpected data here, showing export totals, the countries of origin for works, pay scales, and a lot more. [++] Getting back to the oddness factor, the lcations for info presented here is areading list of terrific conflicts in 1944: those islands/atolls/groups mentioned that were or were going to be areas of heavy action include Saipan (captured July 1944), Tinian (August 44), Guam (Aug 44), Kwajalein (Jan-Fe 44), Anguar (Sept-Oct 44), Tarawa (Gilberts) Nov 43, Truk (Feb 44), Einiwetok (Feb 44), Tinian (July-Aug 44), Palau including Peleliu (Sept-Nov 44). Especially Peleliu. Again, no mention of fighting whatsover in the pamphlet. I don't understand how this is possible. I guess this was useful info for when the war was over and it was time to slip in and take control of the biz situation.…
