Armstrong, Sally
Veiled Threat: The Hidden Power of the Women of Afghanistan
New York Four Walls Eight Windows 2002 1568582528 Hard Cover Very Good Fine 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall
xv, 223 pp., illus., map, index; 24 cm. Near fine. Tight, clean copy. Superficial scrape/spine. Fine DJ. "Sally Armstrong first traveled to Afghanistan in 1997, long before the country was drawn into America's war on terror and its map featured nightly on every American television screen. Armstrong's purpose was quietly audacious: to document the abuses against women and girls perpetrated by the Taliban, which seized power in 1995. The Taliban's fundamentalist interpretation of Islam resulted in many misfortunes for women: they were barred from education and medical treatment, freedoms regarding social and personal life were severely restricted and breaches of law were punished without mercy. Armstrong wrote of these injustices in a magazine article that provoked an unprecedented reaction among its readers, who were shocked by the Taliban's dehumanization of women. Veiled Threat documents Armstrong's return to Afghanistan as a special UNICEF representative. The terrorist attacks of September 11 turned Afghanistan into a hunting-ground for Al-Qaeda. The Taliban was ousted, replaced by a coalition government devoted--at least nominally--to democratic principles. And a sign of changing winds was the appointment of Dr. Sima Samar as deputy prime minister. She became the only woman to serve in the coalition. In the new Afghanistan, Armstrong found a society inching toward freedom and democracy. She acknowledges the literal and figurative import of the Western media's favorite image--Afghan women gleefully shedding their burqas. At the same time, she cautiously notes that the lingering influence of the Taliban is more pervasive than anyone would like to admit, and the liberation of women and girls is far from complete. But more than merely a ledger of injustice, Veiled Threat is a testament to hope in the light of uncertainty. Armstrong convincingly demonstrates that the Koran calls for equal rights for women, and she chastises Arab regimes that have perverted the teachings of Islam for the purpose of misogyny. She also has sharp words for the international community, which knowingly turned a blind eye to the plight of Afghan women. Sobering in its revelations, Veiled Threat chronicles acts of resistance both great and small: from Dr. Samar's rebellious decision to run underground women's hospitals and girls' schools to the stories of ordinary women who first cautiously discarded their burqas. For all of the thoughtful news coverage Afghanistan has received, no account is as committed and compassionate as Armstrong's. / Sally Armstrong is an award-winning Canadian journalist. She is currently serving as a special UNICEF representative in Afghanistan." - Publisher.

No Horizon is So Far: Two Women and Their Historic Journey Across Antarctica

253 pp., illus. (some col.), maps; 21 cm. Tight, clean copy. "This riveting true-life adventure of suspense, danger, and endurance chronicles the extraordinary journey of American Ann Bancroft and Norwegian Liv Arnesen, two former schoolteachers, as they set out to become the first women to cross the continent of Antarctica on foot. With their 250-pound supply sledges in tow, they walk, ski, and ski-sail for ninety-four days, over 1,700 miles of crevasse-ridden ice, where any exposed skin would freeze in less than a minute, all while three million children from sixty-five countries tune in to their adventure via satellite phones and the Web. A record of Arnesen and Bancroft's astounding adventure, No Horizon Is So Far is a stirring testament to two modern-day heroes." - Publisher.

Visual Thinking
Berkeley University of California Press 1969 0520018710 Reprint Trade Paperback Very Good 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall
xi, 345 pp., illus. (part col.), biblio., index; 23 cm. Near fine. Tight, clean copy. Age toning. Gestalt psychologist. "For thirty-five years Visual Thinking has been the gold standard for art educators, psychologists, and general readers alike. In this seminal work, Arnheim, author of The Dynamics of Architectural Form, Film as Art, Toward a Psychology of Art, and Art and Visual Perception, asserts that all thinking (not just thinking related to art) is basically perceptual in nature, and that the ancient dichotomy between seeing and thinking, between perceiving and reasoning, is false and misleading. An indispensable tool for students and for those interested in the arts. / Rudolf Arnheim is Professor Emeritus of the Psychology of Art at Harvard University. His books include Film as Art, Art and Visual Perception: A Psychology of the Creative Eye, The Dynamics of Architectural Form, and The Split and the Structure: Twenty-eight Essays." - Publisher.

Arnheim, Rudolf
Entropy and Art: An Essay on Disorder and Order
Berkeley, CA University of California Press 1974 0520026179 Trade Paperback Very Good 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall
64 pp., illus., biblio., index; 23 cm. First published, 1971. Tight, clean copy. Dogeared a couple of times. Browning. "Order is a necessary condition for anything the human mind is to understand. Arrangements such as the layout of a city or building, a set of tools, a display of merchandise, the verbal exposition of facts or ideas, or a painting or piece of music are called orderly when an observer or listener can grasp their overall structure and the ramification of the structure in some detail. Order makes it possible to focus on what is alike and what is different, what belongs together and what is segregated. When nothing superfluous is included and nothing indispensable left out, one can understand the interrelation of the whole and its parts, as well as the hierarchic scale of importance and power by which some structural features are dominant, others subordinate. / Rudolf Arnheim is Professor Emeritus of the Psychology of Art at Harvard University. For many years he was a member of the Psychology Faculty at Sarah Lawrence College, and he spent his last ten academic years at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, where he now lives." - Publisher.

Arnove, Anthony; Zinn, Howard (Foreword and Afterword by)
Iraq: The Logic of Withdrawal
New York New Press 2006 1595580794 First Edition, First Printing Hard Cover Very Good Fine 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall
xxi, 184 pp., illus., map, bib. notes, index; 20 cm. Near fine. Tight, clean inside copy. Light handling soil/boards. Fine DJ. "Three years after the start of the war in Iraq, violence and misery continue to plague the country, and conservatives and liberals alike are struggling with the question of when - and under what circumstances - U.S. and coalition forces should leave. In this cogent and compelling book, Anthony Arnove argues that the U.S. occupation is the major source of instability and suffering for the Iraqi people. Challenging the idea that George W. Bush has ever been interested in bringing democracy to the country - as well as the view held by many on both sides of the political spectrum that it would be more damaging to leave prematurely - Arnove explores the real reasons behind the invasion. He shows why continuing the occupation is both a wildly unrealistic and reckless strategy, one that is making the world a more dangerous place. Iraq: The Logic of Withdrawal concludes by laying out a clear vision for the antiwar movement, one that constructively involves soldiers, military families, and the many communities affected by the occupation, who together, Arnove argues, can build the needed coalition to bring the troops home. Nearly forty years ago, historian, activist, and bestselling author Howard Zinn - whose foreword and afterword frame Arnove's book - published Vietnam: The Logic of Withdrawal, which argued with remarkable foresight that getting out of Vietnam was the only realistic option. Iraq: The Logic of Withdrawal will likely prove equally prescient. / Anthony Arnove is the editor of Iraq Under Siege and co-editor, with Howard Zinn, of Voices of a People's History of the United States. His writing has appeared in the Financial Times, The Nation, Mother Jones, Monthly Review, Le Nouvel Observateur, Z Magazine, and other publications. He lives in Brooklyn, New York. Howard Zinn is a professor emeritus at Boston University. He is the author of numerous books, including A People's History of the United States." - Publisher.

Aronowitz, Stanley, and Gautney, Heather (Joint Editors)
Implicating Empire: Globalization and Resistance in the 21st Century World Order
New York Basic Books; Perseus 2002 0465004946 First Edition, First Printing Trade Paperback Very Good 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall
xxx, 354 pp., bib. notes, index; 24 cm. Near fine. Tight, clean copy. Remainder mark/tail edge. "Over the past several years, while visible protests against the World Bank and the I.M.F. made front-page news, there has been a growing field of scholarship that looks at the role of globalization for national and international state identities. The first truism of globalization--that we live in an increasingly interconnected world, one in which it is impossible to separate the fate of one nation from that of the others--was dramatically illustrated on September 11, 2001, when the seemingly distant effects of a civil war in Afghanistan so murderously interrupted life in the United States. Implicating Empire is the first book to look at four crucial dimensions of globalization: first, its role vis-à-vis the current war; second, the impact of globalization on domestic U.S. policy; third, how globalization will necessarily alter national security, both in its definition as well as how it is pursued, and, finally, the future of globalization. Including original essays by Stanley Aronowitz, Ahmed Rashid, Tariq Ali, Manning Marable, Michael Hardt, and Ellen Willis, among others, Implicating Empire will set the agenda for how globalization is debated--and resisted--in the future. / Stanley Aronowitz is Distinguished Professor of Sociology at the Graduate Center, City University of New York. Heather Gautney is a doctoral student at the Graduate Center. Both live in New York City." - Publisher.

New York New Press 2001 1565846605 First Edition, First Printing Hard Cover Very Good Fine 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall
xvii, 282 pp., illus. (some col.), biblio.; 22 cm. Published in conjunction with the Center for Arts and Culture and the Henry Luce Foundation Near fine. Firm binding, clean inside copy. Spine slightly rolled at crown. Dust jacket protected in a mylar book cover. "From church-sponsored arts festivals to religious protests outside museums, religion and art often interact as dynamic forces in American life. Now, following up on a fascinating series of dialogues among artists, religious leaders, journalists, and scholars, an interdisciplinary group of distinguished thinkers investigates this complex relationship, looking for common ground and opportunities for cooperation between the arts and religion in America. Crossroads goes beyond media hype to explain both the historical roots and current realities of the ways people understand art and religion in their daily lives, and it places the sensational controversies into context, from an examination of the Brooklyn Museum protest to a conversation with leading artists about spirituality in their work. Featuring a preface by Garry Wills, Crossroads brings art and religion in American life--past, present, and future--into sharper focus. / Alberta Arthurs is affiliated with MEM Associates in New York City and is a former director for arts and humanities at the Rockefeller Foundation. Glenn Wallach has taught history and American studies at Yale and Georgetown universities and is a senior associate scholar at the Center for Arts and Culture. Located in Washington, D.C., the Center for Arts and Culture is America's only independent think tank for arts and cultural issues. Garry Wills's many books include Papal Sin and Reagan's America. He teaches history at Northwestern University." - Publisher. Contributors: Paul DiMaggio, David Halle, Neil Harris, Peter Marsden, Sally Promey, Amei Wallach, and Robert Wuthnow.

It is a tour through a now unrecognizable city of abysmal poverty and habitual violence cobbled, 'as Luc Sante has written, 'from legend, memory, police records, the self-aggrandizements of aging crooks, popular journalism, and solid historical research.' Asbury presents the definitive work on this subject, an illumination of the gangs of old New York that ultimately gave rise to the modern Mafia and its depiction in films like The Godfather." - Publisher.

The Discovery of King Arthur
New York Henry Holt and Company; An Owl Book 1987 0805001158 17th printing Trade Paperback Fine 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall
vii, 224 pp., [24] pp. of plates, illus., maps, ports., biblio., index; 23 cm. Tight, clean copy. "Myths, legends, and literary mysteries mix with maps, relics, and historical facts in The Discovery of King Arthur. Scholars, students, and general readers of all ages have wondered - for centuries - about whether Britain was ever really ruled by an Arthur who held court at a place called Camelot. In this book, the distinguished scholar Geoffrey Ashe offers convincing proof that King Arthur not only existed, but was more like the Arthur of legend than historians have previously suspected. In this exciting study, drawing upon myriad sources both literary and historical, Ashe traces the legend of King Arthur to its roots in the twelfth-century chronicles of Geoffrey of Monmouth. He then illustrates that a great deal of Geoffrey's history, which set out ot depict events and persons of fifth-century Britain, was based on fact. After challenging previous assumptions about where Arthur's court and other remnants can be found, Ashe identifies the real King Arthur and provides powerful evidence to support his theory. Riothamus, an actual fifth-century British monarch, is the figure whom Ashe painstakingly identifies. But his study also investigates the histories behind other Arthurian phenomena, such as the key concepts of knighthood and chivalry. Throughout the book, the swep and grandeur of a tumultuous era in British and European history is vividly recounted as Ashe describes the origins and development of the Arthurian legend - a legend that seems to grow ever more enchanting and spellbinding. / Geoffrey Ashe, the author of A Guidebook to Arthurian Britain, Avalonian Quest, and The Quest for Arthur's Britain, is a historian and chairman of Debrett's Arthurian committee." - Publisher.
