Paperback. Condition: 2002. A fine copy. New edition. The government has been seized by a ne'er-do-well rich boy and his elderly henchmen . . . Our great economic expansion is unraveling faster than a set of Firestones . . . Our water is poisoned, the ozone's in shreds, and the SUVs are advancing like a plague of locusts. . .Remember when everything was looking up? When the government was running at a surplus, pollution was disappearing, peace was breaking out in the Middle East and Northern Ireland, and the Bridge to the Twenty-First Century was strung with high-speed Internet cable and paved with 401K gold?Well, so much for the future. Michael Moore, the award-winning provocateur behind Roger & Me and the bestseller Downsize This!, now returns to size up the new century -- and that big, ugly special-interest group that's laying waste to the world as we know it: stupid white men. Whether he's calling for United Nations action to overthrow the Bush Family Junta, calling on African-Americans to place whites only signs over the entrances of unfriendly businesses, or praying that Jesse Helms will get kissed by a man, Stupid White Men is Mike's Manifesto on Malfeasance and Mediocrity.Among his targets: George W.: "President" of the United States. The Thief-in-Chief. A trespasser on federal land, a squatter in the Oval Office. Send in the Marines! Launch the SCUD missiles! Bring me the head of Antonin Scalia! Bill Clinton: One of the best Republican presidents we've ever had. The Former Yugoslavia: Bring back Marshall Tito! Nobody in America liked him much when he was alive, but now he looks like Lady Bird Johnson. The Idiot Nation: A friggin' stain on a blue dress. That's what captured our attention in the nineties -- along with slow-moving Broncos, six-year-old strangled beauty queens, and Hugh Grant's dating habits. Corporate America: There is no recession, my friends: no downturn, no hard times. The rich are wallowing in loot -- and no they want to make sure you don't come a-lookin' for your piece of the pie.The polls indicate that 60 percent of Americans are "upset or angry" about this land in which we now live -- a land where crooked courts select the president and money rules the day. So if you're feeling the same way and you're wondering what's going to give out first -- the economy, Dick Cheney's pacemaker, or your new VW Beetle -- here's the book for you.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - YOU da MAN May 6 is when this story begins, when Walter Lewis McBride was born and raised right here in Medon, Tennessee, The beloved son of Velma Croom and Moses McBride, born in a poor family, but managed to walk in pride, He was the sixth child of number thirteen, and he proved early in life on whom they could depend. He found favor with the one Elder Johnny Marshall, who saw something special in the little lad named Walter, He went to school with his feet cold and wet, but being the smart young man he was, he figured out he could warm them by placing them inside his little hat, His education did not go beyond eighth grade. But how would we have known that with all the accomplishments in life he's made He was hired out by the family to help ends meet, and regardless of what he may have suffered then, he did not suffer defeat, At age eighteen, he married his childhood sweetheart, Lizzie Embary, who is still the most precious part of his memory. He found himself in World War II as a very young man, where his strength and courage would be challenged once again, We're reminded of how this man shed tears when he realized he had to be willing to kill or be killed. He soon returned home to his wife, where Lewis was born, his first little boy. Then came Charlene their baby girl, his little bundle of joy; followed by Tilmon, Shirley, Clara, Michael, and Wayne. I know raising seven kids sometimes brought pain, Later in life came Chiquita, to their surprise, but it didn't take long for them to see she was a jewel in disguise. He worked long and hard as a young dad, to give his family, what he never had, He took a job at the railroad tracks to provide a better life for his family and no turning back, At some point in life, he saw the saints needed a church; being the man he was, even though not the pastor, he got busy and went to work. He helped build this little church on the hill and since that time, he has never been still, He's pastored here now for more than forty years, and I know, there has been blood, sweat, and tears. He's instilled in the saints how to study the Word of God; to live by it and apply it to our hearts, God has blessed Bishop McBride to know the Bible from A to Z, And that mind of his . oh how amazing to me. He's been blessed to reach age eight-four, and we all are praying for more and more and more, He's traveled many places in this big old world with wife, Lizzie, by his side, and sometimes their little girl, so as we travel through just a small portion of his life and also remembering his darling wife. We think of the words of President Barack Obama when we chanted, 'Yes We Can!' But the saints of Whitehall Church of God say to you, 'Bishop McBride, You da Man!' Penned by First Lady Sandra Hych October 2010.

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. The Civil War and the World War II stand as the two great cataclysms of American history. They were our two costliest wars, with well over a million casualties suffered in each. And they were transforming moments in our history as well, times when the life of the nation and the great experiment in democracy--government of the people, by the people, for the people--seemed to hang in the balance. Now, in War Comes Again, eleven eminent historians--includingthree Pulitzer Prize winners, all veterans of the Second World War--offer an illuminating comparison of these two epic events in our national life. The range of essays here is remarkable, the level ofinsight consistently high, and the quality of the writing is superb. For instance, Stephen Ambrose, the bestselling author of D-Day, June 6th, 1944, offers an intriguing comparison of the two great military leaders of each war--Grant and Eisenhower. Pulitzer Prize-winning historian Robert V. Bruce takes a revealing look at the events that foreshadowed the two wars. Gerald Linderman, author of Embattled Courage, examines the two wars from the point of view of the combatsoldier. And Arthur Schlesinger, Jr., describes how both Lincoln and FDR went around strict observance of the Constitution in order to preserve the Constitution. There is, in addition, a fascinating discussion of the crucialrole played by spying during the two wars, by Peter Maslowski; a look at the diplomacy of Lincoln and Roosevelt, by Howard Jones; and essays on the impact of the wars on women and on African Americans, by D'Ann Campbell, Richard Jensen, and Ira Berlin. In perhaps the most gripping piece in the book, Michael C.C. Adams offers an unflinching look at war's destructiveness, as he argues that the evils we associate with "bad wars" (such as Vietnam) are equally true of "good wars." And finally, inperhaps the most provocative essay in the book, Russell Weigley, one of America's most eminent military historians, maps the evolution of American attitudes toward war to our present belief that the onlyacceptable war is one that is short, inexpensive, and certain of victory. Would any great commander, Weigley asks, would a Lee or a Grant or a Marshall, refuse to fight unless he knew he couldn't lose? "Is not a willingness to run risks for the sake of cherished values and interests close to the heart of what defines greatness in a human being or in a nation?" Another Pulitzer winner and World War II veteran, Don E. Fehrenbacher, concludes War Comes Again with a verypersonal look at two common soldiers who have no monuments, who have not been mentioned in previous histories, but who point at the essence of these two wars and are "embedded in the very structure of the enduringnation and the world we live in." This is the first book to make a direct comparison of America's participation in its two most significant wars - the Civil War and World War II. A group of prominent historians have provided an illuminating comparison of the two wars in a number of central areas. This item is printed on demand.

Also contains chapters on How We Got Here; A Primer on Europe's Frontier States Today; The Case for a New Security Architecture; and Constructing an East European Security Architecture. Also contains Notes and Index. Inscribed by the author, Michael E. O'Hanlon, on the half title page. Inscription reads: Dear Dave and Holly, to two great friends. Mike. This book is part of a new book series, the Marshall Papers Series, which will provide accessible research on critical international questions designed to stimulate debate about how the United States and others should act to promote an international order that continues to foster peace, prosperity, and justice. Michael Edward O'Hanlon (born May 16, 1961) is a senior fellow at The Brookings Institution, specializing in defense and foreign policy issues. He began his career as a budget analyst in the defense field. O'Hanlon's main areas of work over the years include studies on defense technology issues, such as missile defense and space weaponry and the future of nuclear weapons policy, on Northeast Asian security coauthored with experts such as Mike Mochizuki and Richard Bush, and on defense strategy and budget issues that follow a long Brookings tradition on the subject pioneered by scholars such as Barry Blechman and William Kaufmann. Many of the analytical approaches that O'Hanlon employs in these various efforts were explained in his 2009 Princeton University Press book, The Science of War, which discusses methods of defense analysis. In this new Brookings Marshall Paper, Michael O'Hanlon argues that now is the time for Western nations to negotiate a new security architecture for neutral countries in eastern Europe to stabilize the region and reduce the risks of war with Russia. He believes NATO expansion has gone far enough. The core concept of this new security architecture would be one of permanent neutrality. The countries in question collectively make a broken-up arc, from Europe's far north to its south: Finland and Sweden; Ukraine, Moldova, and Belarus; Georgia, Armenia, and Azerbaijan; and finally Cyprus plus Serbia, as well as possibly several other Balkan states. Discussion on the new framework should begin within NATO, followed by deliberation with the neutral countries themselves, and then formal negotiations with Russia. The new security architecture would require that Russia, like NATO, commit to help uphold the security of Ukraine, Georgia, Moldova, and other states in the region. Russia would have to withdraw its troops from those countries in a verifiable manner; after that, corresponding sanctions on Russia would be lifted. The neutral countries would retain their rights to participate in multilateral security operations on a scale comparable to what has been the case in the past, including even those operations that might be led by NATO. They could think of and describe themselves as Western states (or anything else, for that matter). If the European Union and they so wished in the future, they could join the EU. They would have complete sovereignty and self-determination in every sense of the word. But NATO would decide not to invite them into the alliance as members. Ideally, these nations would endorse and promote this concept themselves as a more practical way to ensure their security than the current situation or any other plausible alternative.

Naturally it is not the whole story. It is only the story of a fairly small group of young men among those most hurt in body and mind by the accidents of war.

No Reply Press (illustrator). small 4to. Bound by hand in handmade papers wrappers. 15, (1) pages. The Harvard Class Day Address. With Woodblocks by Michael McCurdy. Limited to 218 numbered copies and is the eighth imprint of No Reply Press. A fine copy. Printed by hand on Zerkall-bütten on a Vandercook Universal I. From the artists' website: No Reply Press is excited to announce Above All Else Do Not Lie by novelist Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie. Delivered originally as a commencement address at Harvard University, her words are here rendered into an essay and published in print for the first time. An elegy for what we have lost, and a philippic for what must be preserved, Adichies address is both soaring and specific. Her counsel is poignant and memorable. As Ralph Waldo Emerson wrote, "In every work of genius we recognize majesty. Great works of art have no more affecting lesson for us than this. They teach us to abide by our spontaneous impression with good-humored inflexibility when the whole cry of voices is on the other side." In our estimation, Above All Else Do Not Lie is such a work. Adichies words inspire us to do what we know to be right. They serve both as a simple reminder of what is true and as a radical reframing of the world. On truth, she urges vigilant fidelity: I have always felt my best, and done my best, when I veer toward truth, when I dont lie. And the biggest regrets of my life are those times when I did not have the courage to embrace truth. Now, telling the truth does not mean that everything will work out. Actually, it sometimes doesnt. Im not asking you to tell the truth because it will always work out, but because you will sleep well at night. And there is nothing more beautiful than to wake up every day holding in your hand the full measure of your integrity. Be courageous enough to recognize those things which get in the way of telling the truth - the empty cleverness, the morally bankrupt irony, the desire to please, the deliberate obfuscation, the tendency to confuse cynicism for sophistication. In these disorienting times, where the difference between up and down is blurred, let alone between right and wrong, she offers an inspired remedy. Whether you are a leader, or whether you are the led, I urge you always to bend toward truth, to err on the side of truth. And to help you do this - Make literature your religion. Which is to say, read widely. Read fiction, and poetry, and narrative nonfiction. Make the human story the center of your understanding of the world. Think of people as people, not as abstractions who have to conform to bloodless logic, but as people - fragile, imperfect, with prides that can be wounded, and hearts that can be touched. Literature is my religion. I have learned from literature that we humans are flawed - all of us are flawed. But even while flawed we are capable of enduring goodness. We do not need first to be perfect, before we can do what is right and is just. We are inspired by Adichies faith in the power of literature to play a leading role in our perennial rediscovery of human goodness. Her words proved such an inspiration to us, in fact, that No Reply Press was founded in large part as a venture to bring them to print. They have been our north star as we have navigated the question of what to publish and why. Make literature your religion. We have adopted her words as our mission, and have striven to contribute to the written canon of human struggles and triumphs. This text is accompanied by six large illustrations by legendary woodblock artist Michael McCurdy. The address was given at Harvard Universitys historic Yard - a cow pasture which over centuries came to be at the very heart of American politics and intellectualism. Adichies immediate predecessors included President Biden, Mark Zuckerberg, and J.K. Rowling. From the exact same spot, the Marshall Plan was announced. Context is everything, and Adichies address, though universal in its message, was not given in a vacuum. Therefore, her words are accompanied by McCurdys woodblock visions of the nature and structures between which her words echoed. The monumentalism, the history, the majesty (and perhaps even the inequity) provide key context. Furthermore, they are glorious in their scope and incredible in their detail. They are among the finest of McCurdys works, and have been painstakingly printed to preserve the warmth and depth of the originals. Artist's Notes: Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie is a novelist whose work has won international acclaim. The Times Literary Supplement has called her "the most prominent" of a new generation of African writers. In our estimation, hers is an essential voice of compassionate and thoughtful public discourse. We are honored to publish Above All Else Do Not Lie, her private press debut. Michael McCurdy was a giant of woodblock illustration and the book arts. As the proprietor of the Penmaen Press and contributor to many others, Michael McCurdy helped shape the fine press movement (and woodblocks centrality in it) over the twentieth century. He passed away in 2016, when a project which might use these long-shelved woodblocks was just a budding idea. This is likely his final fine press edition. Bound by hand in handmade papers wrappers.

Octavo. Original Hardcover with the rare illustrated dustjacket in protective collector's Mylar. Very good condition with only minor signs of external wear. David Terence Puttnam, Baron Puttnam, CBE, HonFRSA, HonFRPS, MRIA (born 25 February 1941) is a British film producer, educator, environmentalist and former member of the House of Lords. His productions include Chariots of Fire, which won the Academy Award for Best Picture, The Mission, The Killing Fields, Local Hero, Midnight Express and Memphis Belle. He sat on the Labour benches in the House of Lords, although he was not principally a politician. In 2019 he was appointed chair to the select committee on democracy and digital technologies. The committee published its findings in its Digital Technology & the Resurrection of Trust report in June 2020. Puttnam was born in Southgate, London, England, the son of Marie Beatrix, a homemaker of Jewish origin, and Leonard Arthur Puttnam, a photographer. Educated at Minchenden Grammar School in London, Puttnam had an early career in advertising, including five formative years at Collett Dickenson Pearce, and as agent acting for the photographers David Bailey and Brian Duffy. David Puttnam's Career in Film: Puttnam turned to film production in the late 1960s, working with Sanford Lieberson's production company Goodtimes Enterprises. The first feature he produced was Melody (1971), based on a script by Alan Parker and which was a minor hit. Puttnam and Lieberson produced the documentaries Peacemaking 1919 (1971), Glastonbury Fayre (1972), and Bringing It All Back Home (1972). Their second film, The Pied Piper (1972), directed by Jacques Demy was not a success, but That'll Be the Day (1973) with David Essex proved a hit. Puttnam and Lieberson went on to produce The Final Programme (1973), a science fiction film, and made some more documentaries, these being Double Headed Eagle: Hitler's Rise to Power 1918-1933 (1973) and Swastika (1974). Puttnam and Lieberson executive-produced the Ken Russell biopic Mahler (1974), and did a sequel to That'll Be The Day, entitled Stardust (1974) and directed by Michael Apted. There were more documentaries: Radio Wonderful (1974), Brother, Can You Spare a Dime? (1975), James Dean: The First American Teenager (1975) and The Memory of Justice (1976). A second film with Russell, Lisztomania (1975), was a box office disaster and led to the end of the Puttnam-Lieberson partnership. Puttnam had a box office success with Bugsy Malone (1976), a musical he executive-produced, written and directed by Alan Parker, and produced by Alan Marshall. It was the last film Puttnam would make under the 'Goodtimes' banner. He went on to set up a new company, Enigma Films. Enigma Films: Puttnam produced The Duellists (1977), the directorial debut of Ridley Scott; and with Marshall once more, he produced Midnight Express (1978), directed by Parker from a script by Oliver Stone, and which was a notable box office success. Puttnam made his first film in America, Foxes (1980), itself the directorial debut of Adrian Lyne. It was a box office flop. Puttnam's next film was his most successful yet. Chariots of Fire (1981), the first feature directed by Hugh Hudson, became a massive hit and won the Academy Award for Best Picture. It was produced in association with Goldcrest Pictures. Puttnam set up a television company, Enigma TV, and made a series of television films in association with Goldcrest, which carried Puttnam's name as executive producer. Six were made as a series called First Love for the fledgling Channel Four: P'tang, Yang, Kipperbang (1982), directed by Apted; Experience Preferred. But Not Essential (1982); Secrets (1983); Those Glory Glory Days (1983); Sharma and Beyond (1983); and Arthur's Hallowed Ground (1984). Other films produced for television were Forever Young (1983); Red Monarch (1983); and Winter Flight (1984). Puttnam continued to produce feature films. He had another success with Local Hero (1983), written and directed by Bill Forsyth; and also produced the acclaimed Cal (1984) directed by Pat O'Connor, and The Killing Fields (1984), directed by Roland Joffe. Puttnam continued to executive produce television movies such as The Frog Prince (1985), Mr. Love (1985), Defence of the Realm (1986), and Knights & Emeralds (1986). He also produced The Mission (1986), directed by Joffe from a script by Robert Bolt, which won the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival in 1986. Columbia Pictures: Puttnam was chairman and CEO of Columbia Pictures from June 1986 until September 1987. There he oversaw a development of the $270-million film package that has a number of 15-18 films for the first two years, and a number of 15 films for the next two years, and handled in such acquisitions, like The Big Easy, from Kings Road Productions, and Spike Lee's low budget feature School Daze, and made a decision to drop big-budget films in favor of smaller features, a move that did not sit well with Coca-Cola and Hollywood, and decided to let deals with existing contracts expire. Post-Columbia producing work: Puttnam returned to producing individual films with Memphis Belle (1990), Meeting Venus (1991), A Dangerous Man: Lawrence After Arabia (1992), Being Human (1994), War of the Buttons (1994), The Confessional (1994), and My Life So Far (1995). He also executive-produced The Josephine Baker Story (1991), Without Warning: The James Brady Story (1992), and The Burning Season (1994). Puttnam returned to the field of film production in 2015 to oversee pre-production of Don t Trust, Don t Fear, Don t Beg, Ben Stewart's account of the Arctic 30 incident. He stepped away from the role in 2019 when he was appointed to chair the House of Lords Special Committee Democracy and Digital Technology . Puttnam is the President of the Film Distributors Association; Chair of the TSL Advisory Board; Chair of Nord Anglia International School,[10] Dublin; Life President, National Film & Television School, a U.
