This is his first book written as himself. Michael Sanders worked for a number of years for Poseidon Press, Simon & Schuster, and Pocket Books as an editor before turning to writing full time. He earned his living for several years with a combination of what he calls "utility outfield writing" -- for industry and a magazine article here and there -- and as an importer of rugs from Russia and Ukraine. After writing several novels based on his experiences doing business in those countries and his knowledge of the Russian community in Brooklyn, he moved to Maine. He worked as a bookseller for the years it took to write THE YARD, his first book, and has a profound respect for anyone in retail. Blue-collar shipyard workers at Bath Iron Works in Maine build and launch the USS Donald Cook. From a Kirkus review: "An unhurried, meticulous, character-rich portrait of the Bath Iron Works, where the navy's destroyers are built, is the subject of Maine writer Sanders's first book. The massive complex of ways, cranes, and hangars along Maine's Kennebec River, the Bath Iron Works, has been fashioning grand and enormous ships for over a century. It's more than just an economic mainstay of the state, as Sanders' history and tour of the works makes plain: it's an institution that has as much to do with the art and pride of shipbuilding as it does with employing 5,000 workers: pipe fitters, marine architects, braziers, draftsmen, tinknockers, riggers, anglesmiths, straighteners, and blasters. These days the works feels fortunate to be one of only six remaining active naval shipyards in the US-commercial ships are built at subsidized yards in Korea, Finland, Russia, and Japan-and as the navy downsizes, it's a precarious existence. Sanders follows the building of the destroyer USS Donald Cook, from first torch cut to commissioning, a massive enterprise where welders become performance artists, smithies pound red-hot steel in cavernous penumbral furnace buildings like something out of Norse mythology, crane operators nurse into position steel slabs weighing hundreds of tons, sometimes by increments of an inch and not by computer control, but by the delicate touch of experienced hands on levers. And as this ship is a fighting vessel, there is included a short course on modern warfare at sea, in which naval engagements are carried out at great, and what feel like anesthetizing, distances. Sanders chooses his words caringly, working with an engineer's precision, a formal elegance, whereas the comments he records from the shipbuilders are more casual and a relief. Sanders depicts the works as part of a remarkable and increasingly rare industry that fuses technological innovation with proud craftsmanship and a work ethic that makes a shipfitter's affectionate patting of a 9,000-ton hull a very natural gesture.", HarperCollins Publishers, 1999, 3, UK,slim Qrto HB+dw/dj,1st edn.[Complete number line 9 - 1 descending.] FINE/FINE.No owner inscrptn and no price-clip to dw/dj.Bright,crisp,clean, glossy laminated,monochrome photographic illustrated dw/dj,with white+ lettering; with negligible shelf-wear or creasing to edges and corners - no nicks or tears present.Top+fore-edges bright and clean; contents bright, tight,clean,solid and sound - pristine - no dog-ear reading creases to any pages' corners,appears unread - apart from my own collation.Bright, crisp,clean,sharp-cornered,publisher's original glazed boards with repeated dw/dj photographs with white+blue lettering to spine/backstrip and immaculate plain black endpapers.UK,slim Qrto HB+dw/dj,1st edn, 005-155pp [paginated] includes foreword by Michael G.

Britain has always had a tangled,complex,paradoxical role in Europe's history.It has invaded and been invaded,changed sides,stood aloof, acted with both brazen cynicism and the cloudiest idealism.Every century troops from the British isles have marched across the mainland in pursuit of a great complex of different goals,foremost among them the intertwined defence of parliamentary liberty in Britain and the 'Liberties of Europe'.Dynastically Britain has been closely linked to countries as varied as Spain,the Netherlands,Germany and France.In this bracing and highly enjoyable book,Brendan Simms describes the highlights and low-points in the Euro-British encounter,from the Dark Ages to the present.The critical importance of understanding this history is shown in the final chapter,which dramatizes the issues around British relations with the European Union and the how,far from being a narrowly legalistic or financial concern,a referendum on continued membership raises all kinds of fascinating questions about both the United Kingdom's own horizons and what it can offer to the Union's vision of itself.Britain's Europe is a vital intervention at a moment of both great danger and great opportunity.An interesting and enlightening perspective on the EU referendum debate.

Doris Helen Kearns Goodwin (born January 4, 1943) is an American biographer, historian, former sports journalist, and political commentator. She has written biographies of several U.S. presidents, including Lyndon Johnson and the American Dream; The Fitzgeralds and the Kennedys: An American Saga; Team of Rivals: The Political Genius of Abraham Lincoln; and The Bully Pulpit: Theodore Roosevelt, William Howard Taft, and the Golden Age of Journalism. Goodwin's book No Ordinary Time: Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt: The Home Front in World War II won the Pulitzer Prize for History in 1995. In 1967, Kearns went to Washington, D.C. as a White House Fellow during the Lyndon B. Johnson administration. After Johnson left office in 1969, Kearns taught government at Harvard for 10 years, including a course on the American presidency. During this period, she also assisted Johnson in drafting his memoirs. Her first book Lyndon Johnson and the American Dream, which drew upon her conversations with the late president, was published in 1977, becoming a New York Times bestseller and provided a launching pad for her literary career. Goodwin won the 2005 Lincoln Prize (for the best book about the American Civil War) for Team of Rivals: The Political Genius of Abraham Lincoln (2005), a book about Abraham Lincoln's presidential cabinet. In 2014, Kearns won the Andrew Carnegie Medal for Excellence in Nonfiction for The Bully Pulpit. Doris Kearns Goodwin's Pulitzer Prize-winning classic about the relationship between Franklin D. Roosevelt and Eleanor Roosevelt, and how it shaped the nation while steering it through the Great Depression and the outset of World War II. Winner of the Pulitzer Prize for History, No Ordinary Time is a monumental work, a brilliantly conceived chronicle of one of the most vibrant and revolutionary periods in the history of the United States. With an extraordinary collection of details, Goodwin masterfully weaves together a striking number of story linesEleanor and Franklin's marriage and remarkable partnership, Eleanor's life as First Lady, and FDR's White House and its impact on America as well as on a world at war. Goodwin effectively melds these details and stories into an unforgettable and intimate portrait of Eleanor and Franklin Roosevelt and of the time during which a new, modern America was born. Derived from a Kirkus review: A superb dual portrait of the 32nd President and his First Lady, whose extraordinary partnership steered the nation through the perilous WW II years. In the period covered by this biography, 1940 through Franklin's death in 1949, FDR was elected to unprecedented third and fourth terms and nudged the country away from isolationism into war. It is by now a given that Eleanor was not only an indispensable adviser to this ebullient, masterful statesman, but a political force in her own right. More than most recent historians, however, Goodwin is uncommonly sensitive to their complex relationship's shifting undercurrents, which ranged from deep mutual respect to lingering alienation caused by FDR's infidelity. One element creating tension was tactical politics: FDR, seeing increased arms production as crucial to the war effort, sought to close the divide between businessmen and his administration, while Eleanor prodded him not to forget about labor, civil rights, and Jewish refugees. As grateful as he was to her for acting as his political eyes and ears, Franklin also could react testily to her unremitting lobbying at times when he desperately needed relief from the strains of running the war effort. Equally fascinating here are the often semi-permanent White House guests who filled the couple's "untended needs": their daughter and four sons; FDR alter ego Harry Hopkins, shaking off grave illness to go on critical diplomatic missions; Franklin's secretary Missy LeHand, prevented by a stroke from serving the man she loved; exiled Princess Martha of Norway, who gave Franklin the unqualified affection of which Eleanor was incapable; two of Eleanor's confidantes, future biographer Joe Lash and the lesbian ex-journalist Lorena Hickok; and Winston Churchill.
