Condition: Bueno. As the focus of protest against a hated war in Vietnam it became one of the best-known company names in America almost overnight during the 1960s. "Dow makes napalm, napalm kills babies" chanted student protesters on hundreds of campuses during that war. "Dow shalt not kill". This feisty company did not back off from making napalm (it was the only U.S. company that did not), and it was soon embroiled in other front-page controversies - Agent Orange, dioxin, and mercury contamination of the Great Lakes among them. Typically, when EPA planes flew over its plants taking photos, Dow sued.Growth Company is the story of a century of industrial drama told by an insider who has been associated with the firm and its top managers since 1953. Written in celebration of the firm's 100th anniversary, it traces the rise of an archetypical growth company from its unlikely beginnings in a dying lumber town in the backwoods of central Michigan. Later a Wall Street favorite, it made many of its early investors wealthy; it has not missed or decreased a dividend since 1911.Based on research in the Dow corporate archives, supplemented by oral history interviews with more than 150 company pioneers, this colorful panorama of growth is told in terms of the people who built this unique and spectacularly successful world-class company, beginning with Herbert H. Dow, the young genius who founded the firm, down to the son of Greek immigrants who heads the company today.

Trade paperback. Buell, Carl Dennis (illustrator). First edition. Trade paperback (US). Glued binding. [12], 274, [2] p. Illustrations ifth in the author's celebrated Tales of the City series, this is a bitingly funny meditation on the war between the sexes and the notion of lost childhood, chronicling the havoc that ensues when a women's music festival sets up camp downriver from an exclusive all-male summer retreat. From Wikipedia: "Armistead Jones Maupin, Jr. (born May 13, 1944) is an American writer, best known for his Tales of the City series of novels, set in San Francisco.Maupin was born to Diana Maupin and Armistead Jones Maupin, in Washington, D.C. Soon afterwards, his family moved to North Carolina, where he was raised. He says he has had storytelling instincts since he was eight years old. He attended the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, where he became involved in journalism through writing for The Daily Tar Heel After earning his undergraduate degree, Maupin enrolled in law school, but later resigned from it. Maupin worked at WRAL-TV (Channel 5) in Raleigh, a station then managed by future U.S. Senator Jesse Helms, who also delivered the station's well-known editorial segments throughout his management of the station in the 1960s. Helms nominated Maupin for a patriotic award, which he won. Maupin says he was a typical conservative and even a segregationist at this time and admired Helms, a family friend, as a "hero figure." He later changed his opinions dramatically "I've changed and he hasn't" and condemned Helms at a gay pride parade on the steps of the North Carolina State Capitol. Maupin is a veteran of the United States Navy; he served several tours of duty including one in Vietnam during the Vietnam War. Maupin's work on a Charleston newspaper was followed with an offer of a position at the San Francisco bureau of the Associated Press in 1971. He says he had known he was gay since childhood, but didn't have sex until he was 26 and only decided to come out in 1974 when he was about 30. The same year, he began what would become the Tales of the City series as a serial in a Marin County-based newspaper, the Pacific Sun, moving to the San Francisco Chronicle after the Sun's San Francisco edition folded.He collaborated on Anna Madrigal Remembers, a musical work written by Jake Heggie and performed by choir Chanticleer and mezzo-soprano Frederica von Stade on August 6, 1999, for which Maupin provided a new libretto. He also participated in a concert series with the Seattle Men's Chorus entitled Tunes From Tales (Music for Mouse), which included readings from his books and music from the era. In April 2010, it was announced that a theatrical musical version of Tales of the City would debut in May 2011. The musical has a score and lyrics by Jake Shears and John Garden of the rock band Scissor Sisters, and a book by Jeff Whitty. It will be directed by Jason Moore. Maupin has written two novels, Maybe The Moon and The Night Listener, which are not part of the Tales canon, though both books occasionally glance in that direction. Maybe The Moon is a story Maupin describes as 'partly autobiographical', despite the main character being a female heterosexual Jewish dwarf. The character was also based on his friend Tamara De Treaux, who played the title character in the 1982 film E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial The Night Listener is a roman a clef, inspired by Maupin's real-life experiences concerning the Anthony Godby Johnson hoax. He says that he wanted to create a psychological thriller, while being able to put autobiographical elements in it. The issues he addresses include the ending of his relationship with his long-term partner and his relationship with his father. The book very lightly references the Tales world via Gabriel Noone's assistant, who is one of DeDe Halcyon-Day's twins from Tales.The Night Listener has been adapted into a movie that was screened at the Sundance Film Festival in late January 2006 and released by Miramax the following August.Maupin'.

Book First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. First Edition in English. Scarce first impression of the first edition in English (first published in Italy in 1969). Translated into English from the Italian by Isabel Quigly. ***Near fine in black cloth-covered boards with gilt titles to spine. Edges of boards slightly rubbed. Pages clean. Spine tight. No inscriptions. ***In a very good monochrome illustrated dustwrapper that has not been price-clipped, showing publisher's price of £2.80 net, neatly crossed out in red pen. Edges of dustwrapper slightly rubbed and creased. Very small loss and associated very small closed tear to bottom corner of front panel of dustwrapper. Tiny closed tear and associated small crease to top edge of rear panel of dustwrapper. Rear panel of dustwrapper slightly rubbed and discoloured (being white background). Spine and front panel of dustwrapper bright. 224mm x 142mm. 320 plus two pages of two lists: correspondents missing in Indochina; correspondents killed in Indochina. ***La Vita, cos'e? - 'what is life?': this question from a small child begins Oraina Fallaci's remarkable new book and in a way its theme. Miss Fallaci, Italy's outstanding journalist, did not go to Vietnam and Mexico specifically to find an answer to that question; but she could not but ask it again and again as she saw - while man landed on the moon - men killing one another as they had done thousands of years before. ***Arriving in Vietnam she found herself plunged immediately into the drama of an execution in Saigon, and into that of a pitched battle at Dak To. The story she tells as the weeks pass almost takes the form of a novel - but with real characters: Francois Pelou, her friend and conscience-keeper; Nguyen Ngoc Loan, the police chief; the GIs; the Vietcong; the journalists, around whom the grotesque spectacle of war - the Tet offensive and siege of Saigon - is unwound. ***Oriana Fallaci went from Vietnam to Mexico to cover the student demonstrations of Olympic year. And there, in the 'massacre of 2nd October', her story reaches its climax as she herself is caught by a burst of machine-gun fire. Nothing and Amen has a value beyond that of a mere historical document. The book itself is an act of courage, born out of fear, pity and rage. It offers no easy answer, not, certainly, to the child's question. But it confirms Pascal, as quoted by Francois: man is neither beast nor angel, but both beast and angel.' (Quote from inside of front of dustwrapper blurb). ***Oriana Fallci (1929-2006) was a renowned Italian journalist, author, and political interviewer. A partisan during the Second World War, she had a long and successful journalistic career, and became famous worldwide for her coverage of war and revolution, and her interviews with many world leaders during the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s. Her book 'Interview with History' contains detailed interviews with Indira Gandhi, Golda Meir, Yasser Arafat, Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, Willy Brandt, Shah of Iran, Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, Henry Kissinger, South Vietnamese President Nguy?n V?n Thi?u and North Vietnamese General Võ Nguyên Giáp during the Vietnam War. The interview with Kissinger was published in Playboy, with Kissinger describing himself as "the cowboy who leads the wagon train by riding ahead alone on his horse". Kissinger later wrote that it was "the single most disastrous conversation I have ever had with any member of the press". She also interviewed Deng Xiaoping, Lech Wa??sa, Muammar Gaddafi, and many others. (Wikipedia). **Rare first impression of the first edition in English. Of interest to historians, journalists and collectors of titles about Vietnam and Indochina. An uncommon book, which was published in the USA under the title 'Nothing, and So Be It'. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc.
