"Again venturing into the wryly humorous thriller territory of Hotel Pastis, Mayle has produced another caper heavily larded with local color and gastronomic adventures. And again, as in his novels and his nonfiction evocations of Provence, truffles play a crucial role. Here his protagonist is Bennett, a Brit expatriate on his uppers. Having lost his savings in an investment scam, he is intent on finding the means to reside in Saint-Martin in Provence. He advertises his services: 'Anything considered except marriage'--and is hired by Julian Poe, a stupendously wealthy fellow Brit, who needs help in evading the French income tax. Pretending to be Poe in the latter's Monaco apartment, Bennett becomes involved in the hijacking of a case containing the secret formula for the successful cultivation of the elusive black truffle. When the Italian Mafioso who stole the formula auctions his loot aboard his yacht, Poe, scheming to substitute a fake, sends Bennett to steal it back. He also sends Anna, a savvy and sexy mercenary enforcer from New York, to help protect his interests. After they recover the formula, Anna persuades Bennett to up his fee to a cool million. With the furious Italians joining Poe in the hot pursuit, the now romantically involved extortioners gormandize their lusty way across the south of France while outwitting their pursuers. Mayle makes froth highly palatable in this larky chronicle of sybaritic pleasures and larcenous activities."-- Publishers Weekly. Book.

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. New York Times Bestseller"All happy families are alike; each unhappy family is unhappy in its own way."--Leo Tolstoy, Anna Karenina "Michael Wolff's books were my foundation and port of entry for working on Succession." --Jeremy Strong ("Kendall Roy") Meet the Murdochs and the disastrously dysfunctional family of Fox News. Until recently, they formed the most powerful media and political force in the land, for better or worse. Now their empire is cracking up and crashing down. For almost three decades, Fox News has not only made political careers (see: President Donald J. Trump) but also fundamentally altered the political landscape of the United States. It is a truism: as Fox goes, so goes the nation--into further divisiveness and awash in fake news, a gleefully polarizing company. But just as Fox has pushed America apart, now it too is coming apart. As is the family dynasty behind it. In his irresistible trilogy on the chaotic presidency of Donald Trump--Fire and Fury, Siege, and Landslide--the gadfly journalist Michael Wolff led readers deep into the twisted corridors of the White House. Now, drawing on years of unprecedented access to the Murdoch family and key players in the world of Fox, he plunges us behind the scenes of another empire of influence, and the result is astonishing and unforgettable. Here is Rupert Murdoch, the ninety-two-year-old Australian billionaire--a fading titan, concerned about his legacy but more concerned about profits. Here are his contentious progeny, jockeying to take over when the old man is gone. Here is star anchor Tucker Carlson, hiding out in his island homes, considering a run for the presidency while his bosses have other plans for him. Sean Hannity, the richest man in television, has his own plans: to put the former POTUS back in office, against the bosses' wishes. Meanwhile, Laura Ingraham is just trying to survive in the last man's man's world. Empires fall. Kingdoms come to an end. As lawsuits pummel the financial bedrock and reputation of the network, anchors scramble, and the battling Murdoch heirs make the Roys of TV's Succession seem downright Brady Bunch, Michael Wolff documents, in riveting and revelatory real time, the final days of Fox News. "Meet the Murdochs and the disastrously dysfunctional family of Fox News. Until recently, they formed the most powerful media and political force in the land, for better or worse.

Paperback. Condition: Fine. From the Foreword: In our last Editorial we drew attention to the fact that 1997 was the tercentary of Martin Martin's voyage to St. Kilda. He set sail on the 29th of May, and we were bold enough to suggest that the 1997 Work Party ofthat date might care to celebrate the occasion, and then share their experience with us. Sadly, we have no news of this event - or was it a non-event? Did they drink the Puff Inn dry and then forget to tell us? Oh well, nevermind, one ofour contributors did actually land on St. Kilda on that special day, without realising the significance, and it seems that he was not a witness to any celebration. But to more current topics. This issue is somewhat unique in that it contains an article from our youngest ever contributor (James Keeler) and another from (perhaps) our oldest ever contributor (Arthur J. Smith). How good it is to know that the interest in St. Kilda spans such a range of years. We are also priviliged to include Calum Ferguson's article, A Song far Anna MacCrimmim, which tells us much about the music of St. Kilda, and is a welcome addition to our knowledge As editors we derive a great measure of pleasure from sourcing and presenting the varied material which appears from year to year within the pages of the Mail. As one issue goes to print we begin the process of ingathering material for the next issue, and we are always on the lookout for new and interesting topics. If any ofour readers can help in this process then do please get in touch with either one of us, whether it be to submit your own manuscript, or simply to point us in the direction of something which may be of interest. Meantime, our grateful thanks to everyone who has contributed in any way to this issue, and to those of you who will be fortunate enough to be venturing to St. Kilda in 1998 we say - "Enjoy your visit." 44 pages.

Hard Cover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: NF. First Edition. 1st edition, November 1996, with complete number line beginning with 1. Fine in fine dust jacket, not price clipped, in protective mylar cover. Author's 1st Mystery. INSCRIBED "To Anna, with warmest wishes" " In a debut mystery boosted by a vivid setting, Wright masterfully combines dark doings with a moving portrayal of the plight of small Vermont farmers trying to maintain their way of life. Lucien Laroque and his wife, Belle, are elderly, fiercely independent farmers in Branbury, Vermont. Lucien is known not to trust banks and to keep large sums of cash in his pockets. He and Belle make an easy target for the thugs who come in the small hours of the morning to savagely beat and rob them. Neighboring farmer Ruth Willmarth finds Lucien, then Belle. It is her anger, her heroism and her strength that lifts the book above the norm. Ruth's husband, Pete, has left her and the farm for New York City and another woman. The youngest of her three kids, Vic, 10, is having a tough time coping with a bunch of bullies and his father's absence. One of her daughters, Emily, is involved with a boy Ruth has doubts about. Trying to cope with the demands of the farm and the needs of her family is enough without a murder, a series of suspicious barn fires and the escalating pressures to sell farmland to eager developers. Enlisting old high-school beau Colm Hanna, Ruth perseveres even when her son's disappearance seems the final blow. This is fine storytelling, mixing some rural folksiness with both big-time and small-time misdeeds." -- PUBLISHERS WEEKLY. INSCRIBED BY AUTHOR. Book.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -'Awe-inspiring. Prepare to fall in love with epic fantasy all over again.' ANNA SMITH SPARK, author of The Court of Broken KnivesThe thrilling opening chapter in an epic new fantasy from the author of The Malazan Book of the Fallen.Many years have passed since three Teblor warriors brought carnage and chaos to Silver Lake. Now the tribes of the north no longer venture into the southlands. The town has recovered and yet the legacy remains. Indeed, one of the three, Karsa Orlong, is now revered as a god, albeit an indifferent one. In truth, many new religions have emerged and been embraced across the Malazan world. There are those who worship Coltaine, the Black-Winged Lord, and the cult of Iskar Jarak, Guardian of the Dead, is popular among the Empire's soldiery.Responding to reports of a growing unease among the tribes beyond the border, a legion of Malazan marines marches towards Silver Lake. They aren't quite sure what they're going to be facing, but, while the Malazan military has evolved and these are not the marines of old, one thing hasn't changed: they'll handle whatever comes at them. Or die trying.And in those high mountains, a new warleader has risen amongst the Teblor. Scarred by the deeds of Karsa Orlong, he intends to confront his god even if he has to cut a bloody swathe through the Malazan Empire to do so. But further north, a new threat has emerged and now it seems it is the Teblor who are running out of time. Another long-feared migration is about to begin and this time it won't just be three warriors. No, this time tens of thousands are poised to pour into the lands to the south. And in their way, a single company of Malazan marines . . . It seems the past is about to revisit Silver Lake, and that is never a good thing . . . 608 pp. Englisch.

Hardcover. Condition: Very good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very good. Wendell Minor (Jacket art) (illustrator). First Edition [Stated], First Printing. [10], 321, [5] pages. Maps. Martin Cruz Smith (born November 3, 1942) is an American mystery novelist. He is best known for his nine-novel series (to date) on Russian investigator Arkady Renko, who was first introduced in 1981 with Gorky Park. From 1965 to 1969, Smith worked as a journalist and began writing fiction in the early 1970s. He wrote two Slocum adult action Western novels under the pen name Jake Logan. Smith has also written a number of other paperback originals, including a series about a character named "The Inquisitor", a James Bond-type agent employed by the Vatican; and a science fiction novel, The Indians Won. Smith wrote three novels in the Nick Carter series. Canto for a Gypsy, his third novel overall and the second to feature Roman Grey, a gypsy art dealer in New York City, was nominated for an Edgar Award. Nightwing (1977), also an Edgar nominee, was his breakthrough novel, and he adapted it for a feature film of the same name (1979). Smith is best known for his novels featuring Russian investigator Arkady Renko whom Smith introduced in Gorky Park (1981). The novel, which was called the "first thriller of the '80s" by Time, became a bestseller and won a Gold Dagger Award from the British Crime Writers' Association. Renko has since appeared in eight other novels by Smith. During the 1990s, Smith twice won the Dashiell Hammett Award from the North American Branch of the International Association of Crime Writers. The first time was for Rose in 1996; the second time was for Havana Bay in 1999. In a New Mexico blizzard, four men cross a barbed-wire fence at Stallion Gate to select a test site for the first atomic weapon. They are Oppenheimer, the physicist; Groves, the general; Fuchs, the spy. The fourth man is Sergeant Joe Pena, a hero, informer, fighter, musician, Indian. These four men -- and a cast of soldiers, roughnecks and scientists -- will change history forever. Derived from a Kirkus review: The months leading up to the Los Alamos A-bomb test of July, 1945--as seen through the eyes of Sgt. Joe Pena, a Pueblo Indian who has been assigned as chauffeur/bodyguard to J. Robert Oppenheimer, a.k.a. "Oppy." (Oppy and Joe are old acquaintances from teen-age riding days in New Mexico.) In this slick mix of fact and fiction, Smith manages to put Joe in the midst of every conceivable conflict going on at Los Alamos--while also exploring Joe's identity-crises as a Native American with enough smarts and talent to make it in the white world. Joe's immediate boss is the Chief of Security, Capt. Augustino, a paranoid sadist who's secretly intent on proving that moody Oppenheimer is a Communist spy. Meanwhile, Joe is falling in love with another of Augustino's spy-suspects: mathematician Anna Weiss, a sexy German-Jewish refugee who begins to have grave doubts about the morality of an A-bomb, especially after Germany's surrender. Meanwhile, too, some local Pueblo Indians engage in minor attacks on the Los Alamos operation--so Joe finds himself reluctantly aiding these offbeat, elderly guerrillas, thus reasserting his Indian identity. And, when not fingering the real Soviet spy, Klaus Fuchs, Joe is planning his postwar future: in desperate need of $50,000 to buy the region's top jazz nightclub, Joe arranges to fight in a big-money match--which just happens to coincide with the night of the crucial bomb-test at Stallion Gate. Along the way, Smith's episodic narrative features several vividly detailed, shrewdly researched vignettes: a visit to the test-site with Oppy and Gen. Groves, director of the Manhattan Project; a black-comic truck ride with hot plutonium--and a fatuous psychiatrist--in tow; the extermination of radioactive cows; the dangerous, idiosyncratic preliminary bomb-tests; evocations of chic, boozy, wartime Santa Fe. But Joe is a sentimental, crassly synthetic all-purpose hero--a bright, sexy giant with talents, hang-ups, and loyalty-conflicts at every turn.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book is dedicated to Anna Marie Aagaard on the occasion of her 70 th birthday. It is written by a number of friends and colleagues. The essays touch upon a number of the issues and interpretations that have shaped and been shaped by Anna Marie Aagaard in her theological work: spirituality, ecumenicity and ethics - also including poetry and politics. In this endeavour lies the hope that this book itself is an outreach towards new beginnings and ends, pointing beyond itself to the world outside its pages, and that all the contributions in one way or another construct a meaning and form 'cracks' in those walls we constantly and regrettably build, be they theological, cultural, moral or otherwise. 254 pp. Englisch.

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. Debi Milligan (Author photograph) (illustrator). Second printing [stated]. 300, [4] pages. Signed by the author on the title page. DJ is nicely illustrated. DJ is price-clipped. From the 1860s, when two lovers are separated by death, the cosmic drama of the two spirits desperately seeking to be reunited molds the lives and fates of their descendants, in a lyrical debut novel shaped by the lore of the Sioux. Susan Power (born 1961) is an American author from Chicago, Illinois. Her debut novel, The Grass Dancer (1994), received the 1995 Hemingway Foundation/PEN Award for Best First Fiction. Susan Power was born in Chicago, Illinois and is an enrolled member of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe. She is a descendant of Sioux Chief Mato Nupa (Two Bears). Her father, Carleton Gilmore Power, is of New England Euro-American descent. One of his great-great- grandfathers was governor of New Hampshire. Power earned her bachelor's degree from Harvard University and a JD from Harvard Law School. After a career in law, Power decided to become a writer. She worked as a technical writer and editor, reserving her creative writing for off hours. In 1992 she entered the MFA program at the Iowa Writer's Workshop. Her 1994 debut novel, The Grass Dancer, has a complex plot about four generations of Native Americans, with action stretching from 1864 to 1986. The work received the 1995 Hemingway Foundation/PEN Award for Best First Fiction. Power has written several other books as well. Her short fiction has been published in the Atlantic Monthly, Paris Review, Voice Literary Supplement, Ploughshares, Story, and The Best American Short Stories 1993. Derived from a Kirkus review: Power's potent debut is a multilayered portrait of a North Dakota Sioux community. Interlocking stories mostly recede chronologically and bring to life not just individual characters but also their links to one another in the past and the present. In 1977 Jeanette McVay is shown teaching eighth-grade social studies to her Native American students. In a later section, her 1961 arrival is depicted through the eyes of the powerful Anna Thunder, who sprinkles reservation dirt in Jeanette's shoes, making it impossible for the well-meaning graduate student to leave. Anna figures in many of these stories. When her daughter Crystal becomes pregnant by a Swedish-American named Martin Lundstrom and marries him, Anna steals their daughter at birth, and Crystal tells Martin that the baby is dead. After her ghost is mentioned, a woman named Red Dress arrives to explain what happened to her in 1864 that keeps her from resting peacefully, and later she visits Crystal Thunder's daughter Charlene after Charlene uses her grandmother's ``bad medicine'' to attract men and reaps terrible results. Red Dress also describes the 19th-century attempts of Father La Frambois to convert reservation dwellers. After she translates the priest's bible stories for her father he asks, ``Why are his people so determined to kill their relatives?'' This too reverberates later, when some Indian characters are shown attending parochial school. Despite the fact that many of these stories deal in the supernatural and that they intersect almost constantly, there is never a feeling that Power is forcing her hand, and the nonchronological arrangement graces the book with numerous small and large surprises and moments of recognition. Startling and complex, but always in the most natural way.

No Binding. Condition: Very Good. Collection consisting of: two autograph letters, signed, by Otto Loewi, 5 pages, one autograph letter fragment by Loewi, 1 page, 28 page carbon typescript The Story of a Discovery, dated 1946 by Otto Loewi, 2 typescript transcriptions of the Loewi letters above, with manuscript corrections, 6 pages. Small archive of material consisting of two autograph letters dated 1944 by Loewi to William Ruthrauff Amberson (1915-1977), plus one autograph letter fragment, of Loewi?s to Amberson, including the remains of a February 7, 1944 letter, describing Loewi?s discovery of acetylcholine. Plus, two typescript copies of the text of that letter, with corrections. The archive includes a carbon of Loewi?s ?The Story of a Discovery?, dated 7/31/1946. The text may have been written to be given as a lecture. We can find no evidence that the account, as written here, apparently the text of a lecture, was ever published. It is not cited in biographical references on Loewi. However, Loewi wrote about his discovery in 1934, and later, in his An Autobiographic Sketch, 1960. Otto Loewi was born June 3, 1873, in Frankfurt-am-Main, Germany, the son of Jacob Loewi, a wine merchant, and Anna Willstätter. Loewi attended his local Gymnasium, and in 1891 entered the Universities of Munich and Strassburg as a medical student. Apart from his attendance at the inspiring anatomy courses of Gustav Schwalbe, however, he seldom went to the medical lectures, being more inclined to those held in the philosophical department. Only in 1893 did he begin to prepare for his first medical examination, which he just managed to pass. It was not until the autumn of 1894 that his indifference to medicine suddenly gave way to almost enthusiastic interest. In 1896 he was awarded his medical degree at Strassburg University, his thesis dealing with a subject suggested by Professor Oswald Schmiedeberg, the famous ?Father of Pharmacology?. Also instrumental in his medical education were: Bernhard Naunyn, clinician and experimental pathologist, Oscar Minkowski, And Adolph Magnus-Levy. After graduation he took a course in inorganic analytical chemistry with Martin Freund, in Frankfurt, and afterwards spent a few months working in the biochemical institute of Franz Hofmeister in Strassburg. During 1897-1898 he was assistant to Carl von Noorden, clinician at the City Hospital in Frankfurt. There he witnessed the high mortality in the countless cases of advanced tuberculosis and pneumonia, left without any treatment because of a lack of therapy, he decided to drop his intention to become a clinician and instead to carry out research in basic medical science, particularly pharmacology. In 1898 he became the assistant of Professor Hans Horst Meyer, the renowned pharmacologist at the University of Marburg-an-der-Lahn, from 1904 Professor of Pharmacology in Vienna. In 1905 Loewi became Associate Professor at Meyer?s laboratory, and in 1909 he was appointed to the Chair of Pharmacology in Graz. During his first years in Marburg, Loewi?s studies were in the field of metabolism. As a result of his work on the action of phlorhizin, and another one on nuclein metabolism in man, he was appointed Lecturer in 1900. Two years later he published his paper Über Eiweiss syntese im Tierkörper,(On protein synthesis in the animal body), proving that animals are able to rebuild their proteins from their degradation products, the amino acids ? an essential discovery with regard to nutrition. That year he also published the first part of a series of papers about experimental contributions to the physiology and pharmacology of kidney function. In 1902, Loewi also spent some months in E. H. Starling?s laboratory in London, where he also worked with W. M. Bayliss, Starling?s brother-in-law. And it was in this laboratory that he first met his lifelong friend Henry Dale, who was later to share the Nobel Prize with him. After his return to Marbur.
