Doris Kearns Goodwin's classic life of Lyndon Johnson, who presided over th e Great Society, the Vietnam War, and other defining moments the tumultuous 1960s, is a monument in political biography. From the moment the author, t hen a young woman from Harvard, first encountered President Johnson at a Wh ite House dance in the spring of 1967, she became fascinated by the man-his character, his enormous energy and drive, and his manner of wielding these gifts in an endless pursuit of power. As a member of his White House staff , she soon became his personal confidante, and in the years before his deat h he revealed himself to her as he did to no other. Widely praised and enormously popular, Lyndon Johnson and the American Dream is a work of biography like few others.

But for one moment in 1988, Stacy Allison stood alone on this mythic peak - the only spot on Earth where she couldn't climb any higher. At that moment, Allison became the first American woman ever to reach the summit of Everest.Stacy Allison is America's premier female climber, a woman of many triumphs, both on the mountain and off. Beyond the Limits is the tale of her journey upward. It is a thrilling account about breaking through the barriers of a traditional male domain, and a moving personal story about the struggle out of the trap of domestic violence - of how she summoned the same spirit and courage that brought her to the top of the world to finally walk out of her abusive marriage. It is, ultimately, her testimony to the power of a vision and a purpose in the midst of despair and uncertainty.In Beyond the Limits, Stacy Allison provides a rare close-up of the elite mountain-climbing world: the idiosyncratic, dedicated individuals who make up the international climbing community; the political and strategic maneuvering before and during an expedition; the gruelling training and single-minded ambition; and the constant danger and pressing threat of death. Stacy describes how life feels at 29,028 feet, when cells don't regenerate and the body literally begins to waste away; what she thinks about while clinging to the side of a granite face by her fingers or when an avalanche comes crashing down on top of her; what it's like to look death in the face but refuse to give up.Beyond the Limits is a suspenseful, triumphant adventure story, a spirited tribute to the determination of one woman, and an uplifting primer for anyone who has ever faced a mountain - physical or metaphorical - and reached for its summit., Little, Brown and Company, 1994, 2.5, UsedVeryGood.

Late one night, exploring her father`s library, a young woman finds an ancient book and a cache of yellowing letters addressed ominously to `My dear and unfortunate successor`. Her discovery plunges her into a world she never dreamed of - a labyrinth where the secrets of her father`s past and her mother`s mysterious fate connect to an evil hidden in the depths of history. In those few quiet moments, she unwittingly assumes a quest she will discover is her birthright - a hunt for the truth about Vlad the Impaler, the medieval ruler whose barbarous reign formed the basis of the Dracula myth. Deciphering obscure signs and hidden texts, reading codes worked into the fabric of medieval monastic traditions, and evading terrifying adversaries, one woman comes ever closer to the secret of her own past and a confrontation with the very definition of evil. Elizabeth Kostova`s debut novel is an adventure of monumental proportions - a captivating tale that blends fact and fantasy, history and the present with an assurance that is almost unbearably suspenseful - and utterly unforgettable., Time Warner, 2006, 3, John M. Soderberg Ph.D. New. Merlin Bronze DVD, 35 Minutes, David Soderberg sees his work as creating poetry in bronze His expanding series of editions titled Poem of the Pond, Path of the Wind, Path of Joy, etc, each uniquely echoes poetry's grand flow through life's challenges and surprisesAn extremely private artist in an extended family comprising five professional sculptors, artists, novelists, and a father who painted, he now residesafter decades absorbing the monumental deserts of Arizonaamong the wind-sculpted hills of the Idaho Palouse, home to the pounding hoofs and flying mane of the world-famous Appaloosa He has been drawing and sculpting human and animal anatomy, writing poetry, and composing music since childhood in India In five furloughs around the world (his father was a civil engineer in the US State Department to Afghanistan, India, Thailand) he experienced great art and architecture first-hand throughout Europe, Asia, the Orient, and the USDavid delights in the extra-difficult pas de deux and pas de troistwo or three forms entwined organically, as in ballet, to create a hugely enriched work of emotion and sensitivity: The Pond in the Poem of the Pond series, or Secrets in the Path of Joy series, or Wings in the Path of the Wind series, and so onIn sketches, wire maquettes, clays, and finally in the sun-polished beauty of patinated bronzes, David crafts many works simultaneously, something like conducting a choir of sculptures that echo and reinforce each other for many months in his studio under many lighting conditions Yet in this environment, he treats each new work as a new voicea burgeoning poemthat has something beautiful to tell us within its own carefully balanced poetic clarity which may take years to develop fully After all, he says, each one of us is a poet sculpting our own river of meaning through life's surprising yet sometimes resisting canyon walls Why should not sculpture be like that?What then is Poetry? "Poetry is not the howl and sigh of yesterday's despairs," he has written, "but the crossroads of your own destiny" For David, less is more in poetry, sculpture, and lifeMichelangelo sculpted dramatic gestures Bernini sculpted pathos David also sculpts what is not therewhat is only hinted at The series Poem of the Pond invites the viewer to SEE the water of the pondeven though the surface of the pond is not shown, but only suggested, and to HEAR the sounds of (un-shown) life around the pond The series Path of the Wind similarly invites us to FEEL the air that engulfs, uplifts, and rewards our leap of faith into the soaring empire of the sky of freedom, joy, and power, into stunning vistas of life that we did not realize were thereDavid's art, in sculpting "more than what is noticed," gives the viewer far more than what is "there" Again, his bronzes change as their lighting changes, revealing deeper nuances and dimensions as the sun through the bay windows rises and sets And for his bronzes that require a base, he designs sculptures to appear to float away from the base, to create the illusion that there is no support, mount, or base at allagain, sculpting the illusion of nothing being therebut airBut of course, that is the pointthe impression that there is a moment of gemstone clarity where your life touches art unexpectedly in a sudden glance down the hallway canyon where the morning sun shines off the perfect curves of the displayed bronzelike the wind that flows over the curves of the Palouse to uplift the wings of hawks and eagles and a granddaughter's heart as she gallops her horse, dear friend and confidante for life For David Soderberg, these images are the basis of all his hopes and art, where time is suspended at the crossroads of significance, John M. Soderberg Ph.D, 6, New York: Scribner / Simon & Schuster, 1995. 3rd Printing. Trade Paperback. Very Good. Third printing. Wrapper edges lightly toned. 1995 Trade Paperback. 491 pp. Published in 1975, The Surface of Earth is the monumental narrative that charts the slow, inextricable twining of the Mayfield and Kendal families. Set in the plain of North Carolina and the coast and hills of Virginia from 1903 to 1944, it chronicles the marriage of Forrest Mayfield and Eva Kendal, the hard birth of their son, Eva's return to her father after her mother's death, and the lives of two succeeding generations. The Surface of Earth is the work of one of America's supreme masters of fiction, a journey across time and the poignantly evoked America of the first half of our century that explores the mysterious topography of the powers of love, home, and identity. In his evocation of the hungers, defeats, and rewards of individuals in moments of dark solitude and radiant union, Price has created an enduring literary testament to the range of human life., Scribner / Simon & Schuster, 1995, 3, [Russo's] first novel in ten years hits the ball out of the park. . . .

Now, forty-five years later, three lives and that of a significant other are put on displaywhile the distant past confounds the present ina relentless squall of surprise and discovery. Shot through with Russo's trademark comedy and humanity, Chances Are . . . introduces a new level of suspense and menace that will quicken the reader's heartbeat throughout this absorbing saga., knopf Doubleday Publishing Group, 2109, 2.75, Editions J'ai Lu, 1969.

Couverture illustrée par Antonio Parras Quatrième de couverture : -- Le convoi « Apfelkern », composé de douze trains lourdement chargés de troupes et de blindés allemands, fonce vers la Normandie où, depuis le Débarquement, les combats font rage. Nul doute que ces puissants renforts ne pèsent d'un poids décisif dans la bataille. Mais la course d'« Apfelkern » se ralentit et, de déraillements en embuscades, de pannes de courant en pannes de machine, s'arrête tout à fait dans une rase campagne où les bombardiers alliés n'auront plus qu'à l'anéantir. Ici, comme partout en France, « Ceux du rail », de l'ingénieur au cheminot, ont appliqué les consignes de sabotage du célèbre Plan Vert et, au moment crucial du conflit, leur action résolue a paralysé la machine de guerre allemande. En l'évoquant par le livre puis par le film avec un souci scrupuleux de vérité, les auteurs de La bataille du rail ont élevé un monument durable à la mémoire des 300 fusillés et des 3 000 déportés de Résistance-Fer qui, de 1949 à 1944, ont donné leur vie pour la liberté. --, Editions J'ai Lu, 1969, 3, Simon Schuster Trade.
