New York: Free Press. As New in As New dust jacket. 1992. First Edition. Hardcover. With the continuing prospect that Roe v. Wade may be overturned, the war in our society over reproductive rights is continuing to gain momentum. The author provides a lively and dramatic account of how abortion first became a political issue, beginning in the early 1970s when a disaffected group of young Republican party strategists had the idea of trying to forge a new conservative coalition out of previously disparate single-issue constituencies. They scored numerous successes. President Reagan made numerous appointments from the ranks of the New Right, and while he declined to press such favorite conservative causes as the Human Life Amendment, he quietly authorized his executive appointees to initiate a campaign of bureaucratic harassment and obstruction against the family planning establishment. The author reconstructs this largely unreported campaign, which was conducted by several executive agencies.…

Westminister, Maryland, U. S. A.: Alfred A Knopf Inc. Fine in Fine dust jacket. 2000. First Edition. Hardcover. This book retrieves the lives of Victorian women - writers, actresses, poets, journalists, sculptors, and social reformers - celebrated in their day but forgotten in ours. The author focuses in particular on the Americal Charlotte Cushmon, the most famous English-speaking actress of her day; and on the Scottish Jane Welsh Carlyle, a brilliant London hostess who gave up private ambition to become the wife of her friend Thomas Carlyle. Of this book Gloria Steinem said "Across an Untried Sea is as fascinating as any novel, and as mind-blowing as every historical revelation. If forgetting is the root of oppression, then Julia Markus has taken a big step toward freedom by uncovering the creative, sexual, enmeshed lives of nineteenth-century women of genius. " 331 pages including notes, bibliography and index. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. .

Description:
Cambridge, MA: Harvard Univ Pr. New in New dust jacket. 1995. First Edition. Original Cloth. The harsh environment of caves - dark, damp, sparse of food - is home to a variety of 'bizarre' creatures. Biologists, for their part, often treate thee delicate, colorless organisms having no eyes, or at least greatly reduced eyes, as mere oddities with little to tell us about a topic as grand as evolution. Focusing on one cave-dwelling crustacean, Gammarus minus, this books shows that, to the contrary, cave life can provide a valuable empirical model for the study of evolution, particularly adaptation. A detailed evolutionary study of a single organism in a particular environment, this book advances Gammarus minus as a paradigm for cave colonization and adaptation, and as a general case study of the role of natural selection and adaptation in evolution.

Bigger than the Grand Canyon, Glacier, Yellowstone, and Yosemite National Parks combined, the Adirondack Park contains a stunning array of mountains, wildlands, forests, rivers and lakes, waterfalls, and deep gorges. Photographer and Adirondack resident Carl Heilman has traveled from the foothills to the highest peaks in all seasons to photograph the park's natural wonders, its flora and fauna, and the myriad variations of light and weather that make each trip to the region a new experience. 160 pages, illustrated in full color.

New York, NY: Center Street. New in Near Fine dust jacket. 2008. First Edition. Hardcover. SIGNED BY Bill Fitzhugh. Born in the liner notes of their #1 hit albums, the alter egos of country legends Kix Brooks and Ronnie Dunn spring to life in their debut novel. When they met, it was like a head-on collision.

But they had trouble to clear up involving a stolen guitar, and a couple of gals short on scruples and long on rap sheets. A shot is fired, a major appliance is wounded; that's when the fun begins.
