Hardcover. Etat : Fine. Etat de la jaquette : Fine. Former writer for "Rolling Stone" and the defunct Boston Phoenix details the collapse of the Western World. Everything is pretty much doomed, you see, from the bees to the oceans to the human race. "Live" author signature in black felt-tip bleeds through to verso. Number line complete 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 -- the first printing. Donald Trump is described as a "casino developer and New York real estate mogul with a laughable hairdo, a big mouth, and no experience running a government. And yet, there he is, a rococo crypto-monarchist in gilded plastic trappings, living in the White House, oddly representing the most hapless segment of the electorate, the dispossessed, flyover deplorables, who had been crudely ejected from a secure and comfortable middle-class existence when so much US (sic) industry was loaded on that slow boat to China." At least the author's scorn is bipartisan -- he identifies the Democrats as "Jacobins" who will lie about everything, and destroy the un-reformable federal government in the process. 277 pp. Reduced from $35.

Meet Michael D. Blutrich, founder of Scores, the hottest strip club in New York history. A resourceful lawyer at one of the city's most respected firms, Blutrich fell into the skin trade almost by accident, but it was his legal savvy that made Scores the first club in Manhattan to feature lap dances and enabled him to neatly sidestep a law requiring dancers to wear pasties by instead covering their nipples with latex paint. Soon Scores, the club Howard Stern called like being in a candy shop, was a home away from home for everyone from sports superstars and Oscar-winning actors to pop singers and political notables alike. The catch? The club was smack dab in John Gotti s territory, and the mafia wanted a piece of the action. The Gambino family doesn t take no for an answer . . . and neither, as it turns out, does the FBI. In his memoir, Blutrich recounts in detail how his beloved club became a hub for the mafia, and how he found himself caught up in an FBI investigation, sorely struggling to juggle roles of business owner and undercover spy. As his life spiraled out of control, Blutrich would face the loss of almost everything dear to him. But whether marching a line of topless strippers as human exhibits into a trial to save the club s liquor license or wearing wires to meetings with armed gangsters, he never lost his sense of humor or his nerve. In Scores, Blutrich finally tells all from triumph to betrayal in his own funny, self-deprecating voice.". INSCRIBED / SIGNED by the AUTHOR. First Printing of the First Edition. Hardcover.

As new condition glossy color illustrated softcover wraps. Includes Other Titles in the Smart Pop Series; Editor Dedication; Acknowledgments and Introduction. "C.S. Lewis' Chronicles of Narnia have stimulated imaginations for more than half a century, inspiring childhood wonder, earnest faith and spirited debate regarding Christian doctrine. Widely studied and revered, Lewis' Chronicles are structured around deep paradigms and resounding questions: How do the books form such an intimate, personal bond with readers both young and old? Does Narnia betray some hidden Universalism in Lewis' theology? What are we to think of the evil dark-skinned Calormenes from the South who seem to represent the Arab race? What really prevented Susan from entering Narnia? What does Aslan's characterization as a "tame lion" say about Lewis' thoughts on providence? In an enchanting and thorough exploration of all things theological and mythological in the Chronicles, Revisiting Narnia takes you well beyond the Stable Door. Contributors include: Renowned Lewis scholar Colin Duriez, who reveals the destruction of the modern spell of materialism through the rehabilitation of human values in Narnia; New York Times bestselling fantasy author (and agnostic) Jacqueline Carey on her deep respect for the terrible beauty and devastating brilliance of the Narnia stories; PETA's co-founder and president Ingrid Newkirk, who shows how Lewis sought to blur the speciees barrier, displaying an empathy and fondness for animals that was ahead of his time - but asks if his religion and era failed him; Post-modern scholar Louis Markos on how the Chronicles illustrate that Christ and the Gospels are things to be experienced and felt rather than studied and interpreted; Literature and film scholar Charie Starr, who makes the extraordinarily convincing argument that fairy tales like Lewis' are actually true." - from the rear outer cover. "A fascinating collection of twenty-five essays .If you want a book that will provide a variety of new ideas to think about, this book should be on your short list." - Robert Trexler, editor of CSL: The Bulletin of the New York C.S. Lewis Society.

"[These] findings from the most comprehensive large study ever undertaken of the relationship between diet and the risk of developing disease are challenging much of American dietary dogma." - The New York Times. "This is one of the most important books about nutrition ever written - reading it may save your life." - Dean Ornish, M.D. "The Revised and Expanded Edition of the Bestseller that Changed Millions of Lives. The science is clear. The results are unmistakable. You can dramatically reduce your risk of cancer, heart disease, and diabetes just by changing your diet. More than 30 years ago, nutrition researcher T. Colin Campbell and his team at Cornell, in partnership with teams in China and England, embarked upon the China Study, one of the most comprehensive studies of health and nutrition ever conducted. What they found, combined with findings in Colin's laboratory, opened their eyes to the dangers of a diet high in animal protein and to the unparalleled health benefits of a whole foods, plant-based diet. In 2005, Colin and his son Tom, now a physician, shared those findings with the world in The China Study, hailed as one of the most important books about diet and health ever written. Featuring brand new content, this expanded edition of Colin and Tom's groundbreaking book includes the latest undeniable evidence of the power of a plant-based diet, plus updated information about the changing medical system and the recent surging interest in plant-based nutrition. The China Study: Revised and Expanded Edition presents a clear and concise message of hope as it dispels a multitude of health myths and misinformation. The key to a long, healthy life lies in three things: breakfast, lunch, and dinner." - from the rear outer cover.
