Faint edge wear. 1991 Trade Paperback. 276pp. A collection of classic stories includes tales of a manhunt for the last wild alien, a planetary economy based on gambling, and a robot in love with literature., Tor, 1991, 3, 200 years after it was first published, Mary Shelley's Frankenstein has stood the test of time as a gothic masterpiecea classic work of humanity and horror that blurs the line between man and monster...The story of Victor Frankenstein and the monstrous creature he created has held readers spellbound ever since it was published two centuries ago. On the surface, it is a novel of tense and steadily mounting horror; but on a more profound level, it offers searching illumination of the human condition in its portrayal of a scientist who oversteps the bounds of conscience, and of a monster brought to life in an alien world, ever more desperately attempting to escape the torture of his solitude. A novel of hallucinatory intensity, Frankenstein represents one of the most striking flowerings of the Romantic imagination., Signet; Reprint edition (October 1, 2013), 0, Bantam Books, 1979.

Absurdly comic and yet shocking, a man who feels inadequate awakes one morning to find he had transformed into a "monstrous vermin", a giant beetle-like insect. He becomes an object of disgrace for his family, an alien in his own home. Franz Kafka, b.1883-d.1924 of tuberculosis, had told his friend to burn his writings. He did not, and they are internationally classic early 20th century writings., Bantam Books, 1979, 2.5, London England: The Women's Press, 1987. Paperback. The Rocking of the Cradle and the Ruling of the World. This book has come to be recognised as a classic of feminist psychological and political analysis. First published in America under the title The Mermain and the Minotaur, it was soon uniquely respected - and controversial - among those concered with the effects of our 'traditional gender arrangements' not only on individual lives and psyches but upon what the author acidly calls 'the male-female collaboration to keep history mad'. The author argues that, until we can fully understand, and change, the process by which men and women collude to maintain the woman in the role of mother, we shall perpetuate not only the injustice of women's oppression but the alienation and brutalisation of men that so perilously threatens our planet. 288 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions ,and all types of Academic Literature. 1st Paperback Edition.

Some Underlining Inside, Otherwise Very Good in Wrappers. Afterword By Harrison Hayford. 320 pages. paperback. CP238. FROM THE PUBLISHER - Herman Melville's first book, Typee, the work. that won him his greatest lifetime fame, is a narrative of a four - month sojourn among primitive South Sea Islanders. In it Melville combines his own extraordinary personal experiences with later intensive research to produce a vivid and imaginative work. Shocking his original audience with its frankness, this portrayal of Polynesian tribal life endures as one of exotic fascination, given sharp focus by a narrator drawn to this primitive pattern of existence, yet forced to remain ever alien to it. In this ambivalent vision appears the first evidence of the author's later moral complexities; but here it is an element that remains below the surface of the vigor and color of this, Melville's freshest, most high - spirited achievement. Harrison Hayford declares, 'Typee is no Moby - Dick. - but it is a classic - and not just a children's classic - in its own right.' As Lewis Mumford has written: 'One reads Typee, and life suddenly shows a new vista. Adventure is possible: Eden is real.' inventory #31179, 0, New York. 1964. July 1964.

Cover: Milton Glaser. FROM THE PUBLISHER - 'An Outcast of the Islands occupies a crucial place in Conrad's career. it marks the beginning of his real commitment to the craft of fiction. .' Thus writes Thomas Moser of this dramatic tale of East and West. Set against a magnificently rendered background of tropical river and jungle, the novel depicts the gradual degeneration of Willems, its white protagonist: his progression through a career of treachery to final self. betrayal, his descent through sensuality to final humiliation amid the growing horror of his alienation from compatriots and natives alike. Combining vivid, sensuous detail with acute psychological insight, An Outcast of the Islands represents one of Conrad's most memorable explorations of the primitive impulses that plague civilized man, and of the fundamental spiritual isolation of the human condition. It stands as a superb projection of a complex tragic vision, a vision entranced by the rich romance of life, yet drawn eternally toward the abyss. inventory #24275, 0, New York. 1996. January 1996.

FROM THE PUBLISHER - THIS SIDE OF PARADISE is the accomplished and heartbreaking first novel that catapulted F. Scott Fitzgerald to literary fame at the age of twenty - three. Considered scandalous (and brilliant) when it was published in 1920, it describes the intellectual, spiritual, and sexual education of young Amory Blaine in the tumultuous America of the early l9OOs. Highly sophisticated yet hopelessly romantic, Amory flounders from prep school to Princeton to glittering Jazz Age New York, confident that he is destined for greatness but unsure how to go about it. Fitzgerald's razor - sharp re - creation of a defiant, disillusioned generation 'grown up to find all Gods dead, all wars fought, all faiths in man shaken' makes This Side of Paradise a timeless autobiographical novel of youth and alienation. It moves from tenderness to cynicism to hope with the grace and power that stamp Fitzgerald as one of the greatest of American writers. inventory #31461 ISBN: 0451526104., 0, New York. 1986.

And that's a problem for many children, because most schools still cling to a one-size-fits-all education philosophy. As a result, these children struggle because their learning patterns don't fit the schools they are in.In A Mind at a Time, Dr. Levine shows parents and others who care for children how to identify these individual learning patterns. He explains how parents and teachers can encourage a child's strengths and bypass the child's weaknesses. This type of teaching produces satisfaction and achievement instead of frustration and failure.Different brains are differently wired, Dr. Levine explains. There are eight fundamental systems, or components, of learning that draw on a variety of neurodevelopmental capacities. Some students are strong in certain areas and some are strong in others, but no one is equally capable in all eight. Using examples drawn from his own extensive experience, Dr. Levine shows how parents and children can identify their strengths and weaknesses to determine their individual learning styles.For example, some students are creative and write imaginatively but do poorly in history because weak memory skills prevent them from retaining facts. Some students are weak in sequential ordering and can't follow directions. They may test poorly and often don't do well in mathematics. In these cases, Dr. Levine observes, the problem is not a lack of intelligence but a learning style that doesn't fit the assignment. Drawing on his pioneering research and his work with thousands of students, Dr. Levine shows how parents and teachers can develop effective strategies to work through or around these weaknesses."It's taken for granted in adult society that we cannot all be 'generalists' skilled in every area of learning and mastery. Nevertheless, we apply tremendous pressure to our children to be good at everything. They are expected to shine in math, reading, writing, speaking, spelling, memorization, comprehension, problem solving...and none of us adults can" do all this, observes Dr. Levine. Learning begins in school but it doesn't end there. Frustrating a child's desire to learn will have lifelong repercussions. This frustration can be avoided if we understand that not every child can do equally well in every type of learning. We must begin to pay more attention to individual learning styles, to individual minds, urges Dr. Levine, so that we can maximize children's learning potential.
