War Is Not Over When It’s Over $6.99 In 2007, the International Rescue Committee, which brings relief to countries in the wake of war, wanted to understand what really happened to women in war zones. Answers came through the point and click of a digital camera. On behalf of the IRC, Ann Jones spent two years traveling through Africa, East Asia, and the Middle East, giving cameras to women who had no other means of telling the world what war had done to their lives. The photography project – which moved from Liberia to Syria and points in between – quickly broadened to encompass the full consequences of modern warfare for the most vulnerable. Even after the definitive moments of military victory, women and children remain blighted by injury and displacement and are the most affected by the destruction of communities and social institutions. And along with peace often comes worsening violence against women, both domestic and sexual. Dramatic and compelling, animated by the voices of brave and resourceful women, War Is Not Over When It’s Over shines a powerful light on a phenomenon that has long been cast in shadow. |

When Lightning Strikes Twice $12.95 “”When my doctor found a new melanoma after I’d been officially ‘clean’ for six years, I was stunned. It was like starting over with the original diagnosis. Except worse.” For people who’ve worked hard to overcome an addiction, become a better spouse, or adopt a healthy, positive lifestyle, a new addiction or a second descent into illness can also represent personal failure. Even more disturbing to those of us facing a repeated crisis is the initial impact it may have on our faith and relationship with God. When we find ourselves facing again the very thing that we’ve counted on God to prevent, we can feel betrayed. Shock, disbelief, rage, blame–all these feelings can come to bear on our life. These pages explore all of these feelings and examine how people in the grip of repeat tragedy experienced the event, faced their circumstances, learned to cope, and found their way to a stronger faith and deeper trust in God. Using life stories, biblical profiles, and illustrations from our culture, each chapter will define and describe a stage or emotion in the experience of a second tragedy. At the end of each chapter are a prayer conversation with God, questions for reflection, suggested Bible readings, and activities designed to assist in dealing with a return tragedy. This warm and welcoming book is a perfect companion for anyone experiencing that second strike of lightning.” |

A Body $11.59 For thirty-three years, John Coplans has photographed his body nude. He made his first picture of his back and hands in 1978 when he was fifty-eight and the last in A Body in 2001, at the age of eighty-one. Mythic in scope and unflinching in its examination of one person’s humanness and mortality, Coplans transcends, in this sequence of 115 images, the boundaries of photography as an art. A painter by training and a self-taught photographer by choice, Coplans uses his own headless body as his subject matter and as his medium to investigate every inch and idea about his maleness. Epic, grotesque, bittersweet, sensual, provocative, poignant, funny, and even — at times — absurd, Coplans achieves a visual meditation on the compelling relationship between sensuality, aging, and death that is unparalleled in the history of the medium.While Coplans has published abbreviated versions of his nude portraits in catalogues and small format books, A Body is the first publication to present the full emotional impact of this important work in an oversized monograph that takes the viewer on a protean voyage through, inside, around, and all over the human body. |

When an Italian man is murdered in the city’s back streets, there is concern that this could be some kind of ethnic cleansing. One of us Morelli may have been, but was he one of us enough? And were the guns in his warehouse anything to do with it? Gareth Owen — the Mamur Zapt — has to find out fast. And then, as external pressures crowd in, there are other difficult questions. What is Trudi von Ramsberg really doing in Cairo? Not to mention that other noted traveller, Gertrude Bell, or the irritating little archaeologist, T. E. Lawrence? And why has the post of Khedive’s Librarian suddenly become so important? Owen is just the man to solve these problems. He is less successful, though, in his relationship with Zeinab, especially now that she’s approaching thirty. As Cromer’s Egypt gives way to Kitchener’s Egypt, Morelli is not the only one who has problems over where his allegiance lies. Maybe the solution is for Owen to go to Zanzibar… |

A Primate’s Memoir $7.78 I had never planned to become a Savannah baboon when I grew up: instead, I assumed I would become a mountain gorilla , writes Robert Sapolsky in this witty and riveting chronicle of a scientist’s coming of age in remote Africa. Upon graduating from college, a booksmart and naive Sapolsky leaves the comforts of the Northeastern United States for the very first time, to join a baboon troop in Kenya as a young transfer male . An expert in primate behavior, Sapolsky sets out to study the relationship between stress and disease. As he observes the Machiavellian politics of the troop, giving the primates Biblical names and pinpointing his favorite (Benjamin) and his nemesis (Nebuchanezzar), he also immerses himself in the society of the neighboring Masai tribesmen and ventures far from his camp on a series of jaw-dropping adventures.Combining irreverence and humor with the best credentials in his field, Sapolsky writes as originally and insightfully about people and their society as he does about animals and theirs. A Primate’s Memoir is the culmination of over two decades of experience and research — an astonishing magnum opus from the unique genius Oliver Sacks has called one of the best scientist/writers of our time . |

A Time to Dance; A Novel $21.93 This marvelous novel chronicles the year leading up to the sixtieth wedding anniversary of Max and Bunnie Howard, a failed novelist and his academic wife, a couple of aging bohemians who never grew up. Theirs, we quickly learn, was a marriage characterized by heavy drinking, mutual infidelities, and riotous parties in the genteel demi-monde of Nashville. But when Bunnie suffers a stroke, their days of feckless independence are over, and it is their good-natured and long-suffering nephew Julien who finds himself in charge, trying to save the couple – especially Max – from their worst impulses. With Bunnie still in the hospital, Julien becomes involved with Shannon, a strong-willed nurse seeking redemption from the tragic mistakes of her own harrowing past, and the younger couple’s struggle to build a responsible relationship seems in absolute counterpoint to Max and Bunnie’s history. Back home, Max and his invalid wife muddle through the year, beset by doctors, irascible housemaids, and the vicissitudes of their own flesh, vicissitudes that sometimes evolve into sheer slapstick. Bunnie’s attempt to share Max’s bed requires the intervention of paramedics. Max tries to drive to the cemetery to visit the grave of a literary and romantic rival and finds himself involved in a wild encounter with truckers and police. How can the Howards make sense of a life that suddenly seems to have passed with such bewildering haste and left them blinking and reeling in its wake? Bunnie tries by embarking on a novel, innocently plagiarizing scenes and lines from authors as diverse as Shakespeare and Joyce. Max drinks, reflecting tipsily upon his various shortcomings, as a husband, as a novelist, as a man.For both, images of botched seductions and old lovers loom through a fog of memory and confusion, and what becomes clear is the pathos of their doomed search for a chimera of perfect love. By turns comic and heartbreaking, A Time to Dance moves unerringly toward its conclusion at Max an |

Acting for Endangered Species $24.47 When Congress passed the Endangered Species Act in 1973, it did so in the belief that threats to emblematic creatures like bison or commercial crops such as fish could be resolved simply by placing limits on hunting and trade. Few lawmakers could have foreseen how the implementation of that law would change over the years, as the directive to save seemingly insignificant species would extend to the protection of entire ecosystems. As the courts have interpreted the law in the light of a better understanding of science, the ESA increasingly has become a tool used to block development projects and restrict private land use.Shannon Petersen has written a political and legal history of the Endangered Species Act that explains how and why this piece of legislation has become so controversial: a law hailed by many as one of the most intelligent ever written, reviled by as many as an ill-conceived impediment to progress. Others have recorded the ESA’s relationship to the emergence of modern environmentalism; Petersen now addresses the legal history of the Act, showing how the courts created a far more powerful law than Congress originally envisioned and profoundly influenced environmental policy during the last decades of the twentieth century.Acting for Endangered Species demonstrates that litigation and judicial decision-making have played a far more important role in shaping the modern environmental movement than has been previously thought. It focuses on two major controversies that developed over the implementation of the Act: a Supreme Court — ordered delay in dam construction when a fish called the snail darter was declared endangered and a threat to logging in the Northwest inthe interest of saving the spotted owl. In reviewing these seminal cases, Petersen demonstrates the complex interplay among government, science, environmentalism, and natural resource industries in shaping endangered species policy in America.The ESA is now over a quarter-century old |

Alexander’s Bridge $3.32 1912. One of the most interesting women writers in America, this is Cather’s first novel. Alexander’s Bridge is the story of the self-made man, Bartley Alexander, a world famous engineer and bridge builder from the Midwest.

American Scream $21.95 Jonah Raskin’s American Scream adds to the ever-growing fact and fiction of the Allen Ginsberg persona. All Ginsberg addicts will have to have this book for adulation and reassessment. –Lawrence Ferlinghetti The view of beat America from the middle distance has grown all too familiar over the years, but Jonah Raskin gives us something fresh: an exciting close-up of its pivotal masterwork. He shows us America at the moment of Howl’s genesis, an America in turmoil, with its atom bombs and erotic anxieties and incipient alternatives, and gets at the uneasy relationship between nation and poem. –Rebecca Solnit, author of Secret Exhibition: Six California Artists of the Cold War Era Howl remains a genuinely magical poem, not least because its profoundly subversive power has enticed a significant part of several generations into reading it. American Scream does a superb job of setting the story of its creation and reception in a rich historical context. In so doing, Jonah Raskin illuminates much of American art and culture in the second half of the 20th century, and the visionary, contradictory, wonderful soul that was Allen Ginsberg. –Dennis McNally, author of Desolate Angel: Jack Kerouac, the Beat Generation, and America Like an Olympic marksman, with steady and unwaivering focus, Raskin has set his sights on what is without doubt the most influential poem of the second half of the twentieth century. When Ginsberg read the poem in public for the first time in 1955 it was clear that he hit the bull’s eye, as has Raskin with his brilliant study. –Bill Morgan, author of The Beat Generation in San Francisco |

Ancient Encounters: Kennewick Man and the First Am $25.14 The skeleton known as Kennewick Man was discovered in 1996 by two young men along the Columbia River near Kennewick, Washington. When the skeleton was brought to Jim Chatters, a forensic anthropologist, Chatters first believed that the remains were those of a nineteenth-century pioneer. He was astonished when radiocarbon dating revealed the skeleton to be approximately 9,500 years old, making it one of the oldest skeletons ever found in North America. But what really intrigued Chatters was that despite his antiquity, Kennewick Man did not resemble modern Native Americans. So who was he, and where did he come from? Ancient Encounters is Chatters’ compelling account of his quest to find the answers to these questions-a quest that ultimately was halted by political considerations. Chatters’ investigation was cut short because local Indian groups claimed the skeleton under the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA) and demanded the right to rebury the remains. The Army Corps of Engineers, which had jurisdiction over the land where Kennewick Man was found, seized the skeleton and put it into federal storage, where it remains to this day. The skeleton was not reburied, because a group of scientists whom Chatters contacted to help him in his investigation filed suit to prevent this. Their suit is scheduled to go to trial in 2001. But Ancient Encounters is much more than a story of political intrigue. This is an anthropological detective story, told by the first scientist to have studied Kennewick Man. In the short time that the skeleton was in Chatters’ hands, he learned a great deal about the man’s life. Numerous serious injuries-including a spear point embedded in his hip-indicate that Kennewick Man led a dangerous, perhaps even violent, life. His physical characteristics suggest a relationship to the people of Polynesia, perhaps a common ancestry. As Chatters consulted other experts and explored museum collections, he l |

Animal Revolution: Changing Attitudes Towards Speciesism $50.77 When Richard Ryder coined the term ‘’speciesism” over two decades ago, the issue of animal rights was very much a minority concern that had associations with crankiness. Today, the animal rights movement is well-established across the globe and continues to gain momentum, with animal experimentation for medical research high on the agenda and very much in the news. This pioneering book — an historical survey of the relationship between humans and non-humans — paved the way for these developments. Revised, updated to include the movement’’s recent history and available in paperback for the first time, and now introducing Ryder’’s concept of ”painism”, Animal Revolution is essential reading for anyone who cares about animals or humanity. |

BBE DI1000 Direct Box with 25 Mogami Cable $269.99 The BBE DI-1000 Direct Box is a DI to write home about full-function BBE Sonic Maximizer for crystalline clarity and definition, Jensen JT-DB-EPC transformer for warmth and presence. Includes a 25′ Mogami cable with Neutrik XLRs.The BBE Process What it Is Loudspeakers have difficulty working with the electronic signals supplied by an amplifier. These difficulties cause such major phase and amplitude distortion that the sound reproduced by the speaker differs significantly from the sound produced by the original source.In the past, these problems proved unsolvable and were thus relegated to a position of secondary importance in audio system design. However, phase and amplitude integrity is essential to accurate sound reproduction. Research shows that the information which the listener translates into the recognizable characteristics of a live performance are intimately tied into complex time and amplitude relationships between the fundamental and harmonic components of a given musical note or sound. These relationships define a sound’s sound .When these complex relationships pass through a speaker, the proper order is lost. The higher frequencies are delayed. A lower frequency may reach the listener’s ear first or perhaps simultaneously with that of a higher frequency. In some cases, the fundamental components may be so time-shifted that they reach the listener’s ear ahead of some or all of the harmonic components.This change in the phase and amplitude relationship on the harmonic and fundamental frequencies is technically called envelope distortion. The listener perceives this loss of sound integrity in the reproduced sound as muddy and smeared. In the extreme, it can become difficult to tell the difference between musical instruments, for example, an oboe and a clarinet.BBE Sound, Inc. conducted extensive studies of numerous speaker systems over a ten year period. With this knowledge, it became possible to identify the characteristics of an ideal speaker and to |

Becoming Winston Churchill $25.98 Today a forgotten figure, Bourke Cockran was acclaimed during his lifetime as America’s greatest orator. He was also the lover of Jenny Churchill – Winston’s mother – after the death of Lord Randolph. And, for twelve years (1895 to 1906), he was the young Winston’s mentor. Until now, the story of the extraordinary and crucial relationship between them has not been told. At one level, the story is about politics, exploring the ways the young Churchill adopted Cockran’s political and economic views – on democracy, capitalism, the Gold Standard, Free Trade, Socialism: issues that Churchill was to make his own. On another level, the story is biographical, chronicling the meetings between the men, and reproducing – for the first time in full – their private correspondence. It is the story of Churchill growing up. On yet another level, it is historical, vividly evoking the late Victorian and Edwardian eras, when Churchill was often in the thick of the action – fighting at the Khyber Pass in India or escaping from a Boer camp in Pretoria (and becoming a household name as a consequence) – all the while keeping up his correspondence with Cockran. The drama of such events is part of the book’s irresistible appeal. The book is written with a dramatic flair, bringing out the personalities of the two men. Each section begins, like a historical novel, with a recreation of a crucial moment in their lives. The general narrative is chronologically structured, with a powerful momentum, tracing the two men’s growing intimacy over the years and interweaving their letters and meetings with the historical events in which they were involved. The story began in 1895 in New York, where Cockran took the youngWinston under his wing. The following years, marked by turmoil in Cuba and Ireland, included the 1896 Presidential election, the great public debate about the gold standard and Cockran’s private insistence to Churchill that principle must always be placed over party (something Churchill |

Completely Unrelated Theological Articles $0.01 As the title of this book states, this is a collection of articles I have written over the years that have no particular relationship to each other. The articles are attempts to answer the following questions: Are there translation difficulties in the KJV? Was Matthias really the replacement for Judas? Are non-overcomers going to spend 1000 years in purgatory? When did Sunday replace the Sabbath? Was James really an incurable legalist who disagreed with Paul? Are modern translations better than the KJV? When you deal with the translation of biblical terms, do you know what you’re talking about? How does the 1611 KJV differ from the version of the KJV we read today? These are issues that interested me at one point or another, and maybe others will be intrigued by them as well. |

Confinements: Fertility and Infertility in Contemporary Culture $4.08 When a woman in the United States becomes pregnant or tries to .become pregnant, she enters a world of information, technology, and expertise. Suddenly her body becomes public in a new way: medicine, law, and popular culture all offer her sometimes contradictory expert advice. Confinements explores the advice offered to pregnant and infertile women by examining assumptions about femininity, class, and the reproductive body that structure the language of expertise. Even advice books written from a specifically countercultural or feminist point of view often attempt to police the way women think about their bodies.Confinements argues that our perceptions about both pregnancy and infertility are limited by our culture’s battles over the meaning of choice and control, arguments over what is natural or unnatural, and the troubled relationship between reproduction and the domestic sphere. The book breaks new ground in its analysis of gender, health, and reproduction.– The first book to analyze the rhetoric of contemporary advice books on reproduction, with special attention to race and class.– The first book to show how the contemporary rhetoric about pregnancy and infertility are linked.– The authors’ personal experiences, included in the text, make the book accessible to all readers. |

Cross, Crescent, and Sword $124.39 The rapid and energetic resurgence of the Islamic religion and the expanded international role played by Islamic nations and political movements provided the impetus for a collaborative examination by scholars of religion and culture intent on bridging the gap of knowledge and understanding between the study of the West and the study of Islam. This book, together with its companion volume, Just War and Jihad: Historical and Theoretical Perspectives on War and Peace in Western and Islamic Traditions (Greenwood Press, forthcoming 1991), examines the topics of the relationship between Western and Islamic religious and cultural traditions on war, peace, and the conduct of statecraft. The ten essays contained here provide scholarly analyses and interpretations of Islamic traditions and of areas of relationship and commonality between these traditions and those of the West. The difficulties inherent in such analysis are compounded by the lack of correspondence between the two religious and cultural traditions, particularly those concerned with defining when war is justified and what limits ought to be observed in justified warfare. The volume is divided into three parts: When is War Justified? What are Its Limits?, Irregular Warfare and Terrorism, and Combatancy, Noncombatancy, and Noncombatant Immunity. Within each of these perspectives two groups of scholars, one whose field of work is the just war tradition of Western culture and one whose area of study is Islamic religion and culture, examine issues that relate to the justification and limitation of war. The first four essays assess justifications for war and restraints on its conduct, including a discussion of the concept of jihad.Two additional groups of essays address specific questions that are especially pressing in the current historical context. The nine chapters range broadly over the historical development of the two traditions, seeking individually and collectively to open up the unfamiliar and to brin |

Deep Integration $22.28 One of the defining features of the global economic landscape over the past decade has been the increasing integration and cohesion of the transatlantic economy. Globalization is happening faster and reaching deeper between Europe and America than between any other two continents. Transatlantic markets are the cutting edge of globalization. Key sectors of the transatlantic economy are integrating as never before. Europeans and Americans have become so intertwined that they are literally in each other!/s business. These linkages underpin a $3 trillion economy that provides up to 14 million !.insourced jobs!/ on both sides of the Atlantic. Deep integration, however, can also generate frictions when different systems rub up against each other. Neither the framework for our relationship nor the ways our governments are currently organized adequately capture these new realities. Case studies illustrate the phenomenon of deep transatlantic integration and its implications for a truly free Transatlantic Market in such sectors as aerospace and civil aviation, biopharmaceuticals, services, financial markets and telecommunications, and in such controversial policy areas as climate change and emissions trading, corporate governance and chemicals regulation. Contributors include: Richard Aboulafia (Teal Group), Matthew Dixon (Tyler and Company), Christian Egenhofer (Centre for European Policy Studies), Frederick Erixon (Timbro), Daniel Gros (SAIS Center for Transatlantic Relations, Johns Hopkins University), Arman Khachaturyan (Armenia Telephone Company and CEPS), Karel Lannoo (CEPS), Boaz Moselle (Brattle Group), Thomas Mayer (Deutsche Bank), Joseph A.

Dog Is My Co-pilot $7.14 Dogs have been our muses, our mentors, and our playful and noble co-pilots. They’ve had a profound influence on us as healers and spiritual guides, and also as co-workers, helping to guide, hunt, herd, search, and rescue. Our bond with dogs is deep and unbreakable, and there’s no better source a reader can turn to for a richer understanding of that complex and wonderful relationship than The Bark. The Bark began as a newsletter in Berkeley, California, that advocated for an off-leash area where dogs could cavort and play. Within a few years it had become a full-fledged, award-winning glossy magazine that published work by some of the best writers in America today. And as it grew, the magazine embraced a much larger canvas: to cover the emerging phenomenon of dog culture that has been developing over the past decade, as dogs have moved out of the backyard and into our homes, communities, and, indeed, the very center of our lives. As editor Claudia Kawczynska writes, The implications of integrating another species into society’s daily fabric go well beyond how we nurture our dogs. It calls for a revamping of the standard etiquette–respecting the concerns and interests of society at large. This new relationship, along with an appreciation for our rich and unbounded future, comprises what we call dog culture. This is what The Bark set out to chronicle. Dog Is My Co-Pilot is an anthology of essays, short stories, and expert commentaries that explores every aspect of our life with dogs. Fifty percent of the material here has never been published before. The book is divided into four sections: Beginnings explores that first meeting, the initial murmurings when a dog-humanrelationship is formed. Pack investigates the theme of togetherness and pays tribute to the dynamic of multiple personalities in the canine-human relationship. Lessons examines what dogs teach us, from love to enlightenment. The final section, Passages, reflects on the themes of true fr |

Donnie Allison $65.63 Donnie Allison was always the other brother of the famous NASCAR racing duo. Overshadowed throughout his career by Bobby Allison, his older brother and the third-winningest driver in NASCAR history, Donnie often did not get his due for being an outstanding racer in his own right. Perhaps only true students of NASCAR history know that Donnie Allison won 10 races in his career. That he posted top 10 finishes in 47 percent of all the races he ever ran. That four of the five times the Allison brothers ran 1-2 in a race, it was Donnie in front at the checkers. Fewer still may know that he was rookie of the year in the 1970 Indianapolis 500 or that he seriously considered giving up stockcar racing to go drive Indy cars full-time for A.J. Foyt. So little is known about Donnie Allison in part because he wasn’t much of a talker in his racing days. Donnie lived by the philosophy that his driving did his talking for him. If he won, it told people he was successful. If he didn’t, well they knew he had something to work on. Over the years, his being so tight-lipped led to many misconceptions, twisted tales and outright falsehoods about Donnie Allison, his racing career and his life. In Donnie Allison: As I Recall…., he sets the record straight on a variety of subjects he’s wanted to clear up for years, including the 1979 Daytona 500 and the famous fight in the infield with Cale Yarborough; the win NASCAR tried to steal from him and give to Richard Petty; and his ultra-competitive, often-combative relationship with a racing brother who didn’t like to lose to anybody. Many stories make the rounds about Donnie Allison and often when they are re-told — even by members of his own family–thecircumstances aren’t related the way Donnie recalls them. That’s why he wanted to do a book. I’ve got lots of stories to tell, and I want to tell them the way I remember them, Donnie says. In Donnie Allison: As I Recall…, he’s done just that. |
