Description:
Reading: Addison - Wesley, 1988. First printing. Hardcover. A near fine copy bound in green and cream cloth with copper stamping to spine in a near fine dust jacket. This copy is inscribed by the author on the half-title page, to Helen Swick Perry (1911-2001). Perry, editor, researcher, and author, was hired by Harry Stack Sullivan in 1946 to assist with the enthusiastic response to the second series of William Alanson White Memorial Lectures (presented by Brock Chisholm). She became managing editor later that year, a post she held until 1955, when work on the posthumous series of Sullivan books precluded an ongoing commitment to Psychiatry. Helen built the journal into a self-sustaining enterprise, evident in a tripling of subscriptions and manuscript submissions. She is also widely respected for her definitive biography of Sullivan, Psychiatrist of America (1982), and for her matchless work with the posthumous Sullivan book series. She was a gifted author who used Sullivan's interpersonal approach…

Description:
Jacksonville: Fortis Publishing, 2010. First edition. Hardcover. A fine copy in a fine dust jacket. Ever since the American Revolution, military service has been a proud tradition for the Zumwalt family. Tradition initially led the author to join his father and brother in the Navy, before later transferring to the US Marine Corps. During his 26 years in uniform, the author saw service in three conflicts-Vietnam, Panama and the first Persian Gulf war. It was Vietnam, however, that ultimately would launch him on an unexpected journey-long after the guns of that war had fallen silent-triggered by the loss of a brother who had fought there. This journey was an emotional one-initially of anger towards the Vietnamese and the conflict that claimed his older brother. But it unexpectedly took a change in direction. In Vietnam almost two decades after Saigon's fall, the author, in a private talk with a former enemy general officer, came to understand an aspect of the war he never before had. In that talk,…

These are stories of humans and beasts, of culture and wildness, of men driven crazy by longing and of men who dream they are becoming bears. A man near the end of his life becomes part of an odd band of caretakers for a younnger man whose brain has been damaged in a motorcycle accident, the civilization shaken out of him. Watching over this unmanned man, the hero becomes mindful of his own mortality and excess of civility. In "Westward Ho," Brown Dog, a Michigan Indian, wanders the wilds of Los Angeles, tracking the ersatz Native activist with whom he fled the police in Michigan and who's now disappeared with his bearskin. Ogling girls, sleeping in the botanic garden, and working as a driver to a drunk screenwriter, he eventually comes face-to-face with his ex-friend and with the difference between the world he's been visiting and the world to which he's going home.…

Boston: Houghton Mifflin, 2008. First edition. Hardcover. A fine copy in a fine dust jacket. ‘When one of us tells the truth, he makes it easier for all of us to open our hearts to our own pain and that of others.' That's ultimately what Beautiful Boy is about: truth and healing." — Mary Pipher, author of Reviving Ophelia  What had happened to my beautiful boy? To our family? What did I do wrong? Those are the wrenching questions that haunted David Sheff's journey through his son Nic's addiction to drugs and tentative steps toward recovery. Before Nic became addicted to crystal meth, he was a charming boy, joyous and funny, a varsity athlete and honor student adored by his two younger siblings. After meth, he was a trembling wraith who lied, stole, and lived on the streets. David Sheff traces the first warning signs: the denial, the three a.m. phone calls—is it Nic? the police? the hospital? His preoccupation with Nic became an addiction in itself. But as a journalist, he…
