Simon & Schuster. 2000. Paperback. Near Fine. BRAND NEW SOFTCOVER. REMAINDER MARK. <p>"In lieu of a memoir, All the Best, George Bush collects correspondence and diary entries from the former U.S. president to show, as he says, "what my own heartbeat is, what my values are, what has motivated me in life." The letters begin in 1942-- when Bush volunteered for U.S. Navy flight school--and continue to the brink of the 21st century. This book hits all the highlights of Bush's career, from the Texas oil business to his role as ambassador to China, then CIA director, vice president under Ronald Reagan, and finally president himself. Along the way, he reveals a personality that is at turns compassionate, respectful, silly, doting, and resolute--a man for whom being a father and a grandfather matters as much as, and maybe even more than, being leader of the free world.

Little Brown & Co. [1954]. Paperback. Good. Softcover. Light Underlining, VG+ Cover, Pages Tight. <p>Ulysses S. Grant was a man superbly fitted by character and background for his role as military leader. He moved unsteadily into the nation's highest office in the period of confusion and great change after the Civil War. But as a civilian the very qualities that made him a great soldier proved a liability. His career thus throws light on a large section of American history. It may also, by analogy, illuminate some of the problems of a later postwar era, which in 1953 again saw a general enter the white house. Edited by Oscar Handlin. 201 pgs. more information

"The song of this small book stands in stark contrast with secular-minded evaluations [of St. Francis whose]...only desire was to follow Christ, and Christ crucified...The same Francis opens our eyes to the value and message of authentic human goods: beauty, truth, love, friendship - which reflect God and can lead us to him. Francis perfectly understood what the author articulates herein, that while the human heart must detach itself from whatever is merely 'subjectively satisfying,' it is called upon to love all of God's creatures according to theri rank, seeing them as messengers modestly singing the praise of the One in whom all things should be loved, and apart from whom none deserves to be loved at all.' more information

Hard Cover. Good. 1977 Harper & Row 1st Edition Hardcover with Dust Jacket. Book Very Good, Jacket Worn. Margaret Mead was famous for keeping in touch with a wide circle of friends as we see in this collection of wonderfully revealing correspondence from the field. Written over a period of half a century, these letters to friends, family, and colleagues detail her first fieldwork in Samoa and go on to record her now famous anthropological endeavors in mainland New Guinea, the Admiralty Islands, and Bali. Enhanced by photographs, these intelligent, vivid, frequently funny, and often poetic letters tell us much about Mead's passion for and understanding of preliterate cultures. But they are equally valuable as a fundamental text on the science -- and art -- of anthropology. more information

New York, NY, U.S.A.: Modern Library. First Edition. Soft Cover. New. BRAND NEW 1999 Random House Modern Library Softcover.1st Paperback Edition.<p>The only biography ever authorized by a sitting President--yet written with complete interpretive freedom--Dutch is as revolutionary in method as it is formidable in scholarship. Thirteen years of exhaustive research in the archives of Washington and Hollywood, and thousands of hours of interviews with the President and his family, friends, allies, and enemies, equipped Morris with an unmatched knowledge of one of the twentieth century's greatest leaders. This monumental work offers the most insightful and elegant portrait to date of Ronald Reagan: the young "Dutch," the middle-aged Cold Warrior, and the septuagenarian Chief Executive. Written with imagination, yet always anchored by the weight of research and fact, Dutch stands as both a landmark in the form of biography and an unparalleled historical account of the rise and rule of Ronald Reagan. more information
