Paperback. Etat : Very Good. Fifteen old-fashioned but wonderfully challenging detective puzzles, the unraveling of which requires your powers of observation and deduction. In words, charts, and diagrams, you are placed at the crime scene and presented with facts established by the police. What do you observe? Which are the telltale clues? What do you deduce? And how will you answer the questions posed at the end of each problem: Who stole the emerald? Where did the gang plan to meet? In what city had the amnesia victim once worked? Each question is scored to a degree of difficulty, with a perfect score of ten points per puzzle. And if you find you are stumped, you can turn to the back of the book, where the answers are printed (but upside-down, to deter you from giving up too easily). Dont cheat: youll only spoil the fun. In such puzzle-stories as The Evidence on the Japanned Box, The Toledo Death Threat, and The Huppheimer Museum Robbery, Wren and McKay sparked a craze for ten-minute mysteries that spread through the American pulp-detective magazines of the late 1920s. These are the originals and perhaps the most perfect examples of this venerable mystery puzzle genre to challenge the wits of armchair investigators.

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. Midnights is both a comedy of errors and an affectionate portrait of small-town police, those beleaguered souls charged with the task of keeping their neighbors in line.A reminder that those assigned to protect are often vulnerable and quietly heroic.TimeFunny, touching, revealing, here is the view from a rookie cops patrol car, during midnight shifts, in a (mostly) peaceful town. With a rich cast of characters, this is a classic memoir of the fear, surprises, excitement, embarrassment that comes with a protecting and serving a small community.When I was twenty-three years old, five months out of college, with a degree in music, and without any idea of what to do with myself, I took a job as a policeman in Wellfleet, Massachusetts, so writes Alec Wilkinson. Music, huh? the police chief said during the job interview. That'll be a big help. Wilkinsons main qualification was familiarity with the town of 2,000 people from summers there growing up. Committing himself to a year wearing a uniform and carrying a gun, and with no training, Wilkinson was sent out to keep the peace, hoping nothing would happen. There are high-speed chases and stopping drunk drivers, one of whom tries to set Wilkinson's hair on fire. There are domestic squabbles. The first six months were murder for me, Wilkinsons partner confides on his first night. After that, when I found out the people I thought were my friends weren't really my friends, I felt better off. There is an attempted bank robbery. The teller convinces the robber that his haul ($300) is too much to carry around in cash. The robber is still listening to investment options when the police arrive.Throughout there are conversations with his eight fellow officers who Wilkinson comes to respect and admire. Nobody ever calls you when they're behaving themselves, one admits. As a rule, you always get called when people are at their worst. It's sad. It depresses me. The job is often thankless. Right now I work on the police force, another officer says, my wife stamps cans in the supermarket, and she makes more money than I do.This is experiential journalism at its most poignant and entertainingand it launched the career of Alec Wilkinson: writer, interviewer, essayist, and author. This is for any reader looking for insight into the real lives of police officers, outside of large cities, across America. It is also for anyone looking for a marvelously engaging read.Midnights is part of Godines Nonpareil series: celebrating the joy of discovery with books bound to be classics.

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. Charming, delightful, and a great companion for gardeners and naturalists alike.BooklistLavender, basil, hyssop, balm, sage, rue the thinking gardeners guide to herbs. Writer/naturalist Henry Beston, a founding father of the environmental movement, believed that a strong connection to nature is essential. It is only when we are aware of the earth and of the earth as poetry that we truly live, Beston says in his now-classic Herbs and the Earth. In this book, Beston shares one of those connections as seen through the oldest group of plants known to gardeners. A garden of herbs, he writes, is a garden of things loved for themselves in their wholeness and integrity. It is not a garden of flowers, but a garden of plants which are sometimes very lovely flowers and are always more than flowers. Whether you are already a committed herbalist or just dreaming of planting your first small garden, this book is a powerfully rich source of inspiration and information. As Roger B. Swain observes in his moving introduction, Herbs and the Earth has an intensity that evokes the herbs themselves, as if, pressed between the pages, their aroma has seeped into the pages.This Nonpareil edition includes both an introduction by Roger B. Swain and an afterword by Bill McKibben. Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability.

With delicate sensuality, he also traces the flowering of his first love for a woman who walks like light would walk if it could.Authentic, intimate, and intense, Stay Here with Me is about growing up and leaving home and about the acts of rebellion that free the body even as they bind the soul to a place forever.This Nonpareil edition includes a new introduction by novelist and essayist, Brock Clarke.

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. Discover the unique mind and humane vision of an under-recognized American author. Encompassing themes of race, education, fame, law, and Americas past and future, these essays are James Alan McPherson at his most prescient and invaluable.Born in segregated 1940s Georgia, McPherson graduated from Harvard Law School only to give up law and become a writer. In 1978, he became the first Black author to win the Pulitzer Prize for fiction. But all the while, McPherson was also writing and publishing nonfiction that stand beside contemporaries such as James Baldwin and Joan Didion, as this collection amply proves.These essays range from McPhersons profile of comedian Richard Pryor on the cusp of his stardom; a moving tribute to his mentor, Ralph Ellison; a near fatal battle with viral meningitis; and the story of how McPherson became a reluctant landlord to an elderly Black woman and her family.There are meditations on family as the author travels to Disneyland with his daughter, on the nuances of a neighborhood debate about naming a street after Malcolm X or Dr. Martin Luther King, and, throughout, those connections that make us most deeply humanincluding connections between writer and reader. McPherson writes of his early education, The structure of white supremacy had been so successful that even some of our parents and teachers had been conscripted into policing the natural curiosity of young people. We were actively discouraged from reading. We were encouraged to accept our lot. We were not told that books just might contain extremely important keys which would enable us to break out of the mental jails that have been constructed to contain us.The collections curator, Anthony Walton, writes, In his nonfiction, McPherson was often looking for a way beyond the morasses in which Americans find themselves mired. His work is a model of humanistic imagining, an attempt to perform a healing that would, if successful, be the greatest magic trick in American history: to get past race, to help create a singular American identity that was no longer marred by the existential tragedies of the nations first 400 years. He attempted this profound reimagining of America while simultaneously remaining completely immersed in African American history and culture. His achievement demonstrates that an abiding love for black folks and black life can rest alongside a mastery of The Kings English and a sincere desire to be received as an American citizen and participant in democracy. It is time for that imaginative work to be fully comprehended and for this simultaneously American and African American genius to assume a fully recognized place beside the other constitutive voices in our national literature.This is a collection for any reader seeking a better understanding of our world and a connection to a wise and wickedly funny writer who speaks with forceful relevance and clarity across the decades.On Becoming an American Writer is part of Godines Nonpareil series: celebrating the joy of discovery with books bound to be classics.

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. Earnest, amusing, and contemplative.though Beattie is known for her fiction, her nonfiction has just as much to offer.Publishers WeeklyShimmering prose and critical acumen on display in an eclectic collection.Kirkus ReviewsAs deeply rewarding as her fiction, a selection of Ann Beatties essays, chosen and introduced by the author. From appreciations of writers, photographers, and other artists, to notes on the craft of writing itself, this is a wide-ranging, and always penetrating collection of writing never before published in book form.Ann Beattie, a master storyteller, has been delighting readers since the publication of her short stories in the 1970s and her first novel, Chilly Scenes of Winter. But as her literary acclaim grew and she was hailed the voice of her generation, Ms. Beattie was also moonlighting as a nonfiction writer. As she writes in her introduction to this collection, Nonfiction always gave me a thrill, even if it provided only an illusion of freedom. Freedom and flexibilityfor me, those are the conditions under which imagination sparks.These penetrating essays are stories unto themselves, closely observed appreciations of life and art. The reader travels with Ms. Beattie to Cedar Rapids, Iowa to learn about the legacy of the painter, Grant Wood, and his iconic painting American Gothic; to the famed University of Virginia campus with her husband, the painter Lincoln Perry; to Key West, Florida for New Years with writer and translator, Harry Mathews; to a roadside near Boston in a broken-down car with the wheelchair-bound writer Andre Dubus.There are explorations of novels, short stories, paintings, and photographs by artists ranging from Alice Munro to Elmore Leonard, from Sally Mann to John Loengard. Whatever the subject, Ms. Beattie brings penetrating insight into literature and art thats both familiar and unfamiliaras she writes, This, I think, is what artists want to do: find a way to lure the reader or viewer into an alternate realm, to overcome the audiences resistance to being taken away from their own lives and interests and priorities.Ann Beatties nonfiction (originally published in Life, The New Yorker, The New York Times, and The American Scholar, among others) is a new way to enjoy one of the great writers of her generation. Readers will find much to love in this journey with a curious and fascinating mind.More to Say is part of Godines Nonpareil series: celebrating the joy of discovery with books bound to be classics.

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. Twelve stories of immigrants who navigate the ancestral past of India as they remake their lives-and themselves-in North America. These are stories of fluid and broken identities, discarded languages and deities, and the attempt to create bonds with a new community against the ever-present fear of failure and betrayal."The narrative of immigration," Bharati Mukherjee once wrote, "is the epic narrative of this millennium." Her stories and novels brilliantly add to that ongoing saga. In the story "The Lady from Lucknow," a woman is pushed to the limit while wanting nothing more than to fit in. In "Hindus," characters discover that breaking away from a culture has deep and unexpected costs. In "A Father," the clash of cultures leads a man to an act of terrible violence. "How could he tell these bright, mocking women," Mukherjee writes, "that in the darkness, he sensed invisible presences: gods and snakes frolicked in the master bedroom, little white sparks of cosmic static crackled up the legs of his pajamas. Something was out there in the dark, something that could invent accidents and coincidences to remind mortals that even in Detroit they were no more than mortal."There is light in these stories as well. The collection's closing story, "Courtly Vision," brings to life the world within a Mughal miniature painting and describes a light charged with excitement to discover the immense intimacy of darkness. Readers will also discover that excitement, and the many gradations of darkness and light, throughout these pages from the mind of a master storyteller.Darkness is part of Godine's Nonpareil series: celebrating the joy of discovery with books bound to be classics.

Garner, Garner's Modern English UsageEveryone speaks and writes in patterns. Farnsworth is your guide to patterns known as rhetorical figures that can make your words more emphatic, memorable, and effective. This book details the timeless principles of rhetoric from Ancient Greece to the present day, drawing on examples in the English language of consummate masters of prose, such as Lincoln, Churchill, Dickens, Melville, and Burke.Most rhetorical figures amount to departures from simple and literal statement, such as repeating words, putting words into an unexpected order, leaving out words that might have been expected, asking questions and then answering them. All apply to the composition of a simple sentence or paragraph-repetition and variety, suspense and relief, concealment and surprise, the creation of expectations and then the satisfaction or frustration of them.Farnsworth's Classical English Rhetoric is for anyone who wants to be a better speaker or writer.
