Añadir al carritoHardcover. Condición: New. Estado de la sobrecubierta: New. 1st Edition. New condition navy blue textured boards with silver spine lettering contained in a new condition non price-clipped color illustrated dust jacket. Includes Author Dedication; Introduction; Conclusion; Acknowledgments; Index and About the Author. Third Printi…ng. "Every day, Americans are being targeted by their government for their political views, and, disturbingly, the intimidation game is working." - from the rear outer cover. "Progressives' objective is to extend government's regulatory reach ever-deeper into society's dynamics. Strassel reveals how fast and how far this project has been expanded to include an especially sinister objective: Empowering government to control political campaign speech - speech about the government's composition and behavior. Her frightening reports come from many fronts in this war on America's open society. This book is a fire bell in a darkening night." - George F. Will. "There have been a lot of good books of late decrying the increasingly repressive climate towards free speech. But none have connected the dots between the Obama White House, Congressional Democrats, and the spider web of 'grassroots' orgainizations the way Kim Strassel does in The Intimidation Game. It is required reading for those who want to know what's behind the supposedly spontaneous daily ourages we see every day." - Johah Goldberg. "Public shaming encouraged by leading political figures. Pre-dawn police raids. Federal agencies targeting groups and individuals because of their political views. It's hard to believe these things are happening - and taking place with increasing frequency - in the United States. But they are. And in this searing indictment of the systematic attempt of the political Left to shut down political debates they cannot win - Kimberley Strassel provides the often horrifying details. The Intimidation Game is a shocking and assiduously well reported chronicle of the illiberal tactics of the new progressives - and a must-read for anyone who wants to understand American politics today." - Stephen Hayes. "From Kim Strassel - one of the preeminent political columnists writing today and member of the Wall Street Journal Editorial Board - comes an insightful, alarming look at how the Left is orchestrating a coordinated campaign to bully Americans out of free speech. For nearly 40 years, Washington and much of the American public have held up disclosure and campaign finance laws as ideals, and the path to cleaner and freer elections. The Intimidation Game will show, through first-hand accounts, how both have been hijacked by the Left as weapons against free speech and free association, becoming the most powerful tools of those intent on silencing their political opposition. The Intimidation Game provides a chilling expose of political scare tactics and overreach, including: How Citizens United set off a wave of liberal harassment against conservative politicians; The targeting of Tea Party groups by the IRS; How Wisconsin prosecutors, state AGs, and a Democrat Congress shut down political activists and businesses; The politicization by the Obama administration of a host of government agencies including the FEC, FCC and the SEC. Timed to arrive at the height of the 2016 presidential season, The Intimidation Game will shine a much-needed light on how liberal activists and the Democrat machine bully the political process." - from the inner front jacket flap.

So begins Universal Harvester, the haunting and masterfully unsettling new novel from John Darnielle, author of the New York Times Bestseller and National Book Award Nominee Wolf in White Van. Jeremy works at the Video Hut in Nevada, Iowa. It's a small town in the center of the state-the first a in Nevada pronounced ay. This is the late 1990s, and even if the Hollywood Video in Ames poses an existential threat to Video Hut, there are still regular customers, a rush in the late afternoon. It's good enough for Jeremy: it's a job, quiet and predictable, and it gets him out of the house, where he lives with his dad and where they both try to avoid missing Mom, who died six years ago in a car wreck. But when a local schoolteacher comes in to return her copy of Targets-an old movie, starring Boris Karloff, one Jeremy himself had ordered for the store-she has an odd complaint: "There's something on it," she says, but doesn't elaborate. Two days later, a different customer returns a different tape, a new release, and says it's not defective, exactly, but altered: "There's another movie on this tape." Jeremy doesn't want to be curious, but he brings the movies home to take a look. And, indeed, in the middle of each movie, the screen blinks dark for a moment and the movie is replaced by a few minutes of jagged, poorly lit home video. The scenes are odd and sometimes violent, dark, and deeply disquieting. There are no identifiable faces, no dialogue or explanation-the first video has just the faint sound of someone breathing- but there are some recognizable landmarks. These have been shot just outside of town. In Universal Harvester, the once placid Iowa fields and farmhouses now sinister and imbued with loss and instability and profound foreboding. The novel will take Jeremy and those around him deeper into this landscape than they have ever expected to go. They will become part of a story that unfolds years into the past and years into the future, part of an impossible search for something someone once lost that they would do anything to regain. "This chilling literary thriller follows a video store clerk as he deciphers a macabre mystery through clues scattered among the tapes his customers rent. A page-tuning homage to In Cold Blood and The Ring." -O: The Oprah Magazine ; "[Universal Harvester is] so wonderfully strange, almost Lynchian in its juxtaposition of the banal and the creepy, that my urge to know what the hell was going on caused me to go full throttle . . . [But] Darnielle hides so much beautiful commentary in the book's quieter moments that you would be remiss not to slow down." -Abram Scharf, MTV News ; dark grey cloth in color pictorial dustjacket ; FINE/FINE. Book.

Añadir al carritoHardcover. Condición: New. Estado de la sobrecubierta: New. 1st Edition. New condition white boards with black spine lettering contained in a new condition non price-clipped photographic dust jacket. Includes List of Other Books by Rich Cohen; Author Dedication; Preliminary Page Quote by Herb Cohen; and Acknowledgments. Illustra…ted with black-and-white photographs. "Meet Herbie Cohen, World's Greatest Negotiator, dealmaker, risk taker, raconteur, adviser to presidents and corporations, hostage and arms negotiator, lesson giver and justice seeker, author of the how-to business classic You Can Negotiate Anything. And, of course, Rich Cohen's father. The Adventures of Herbie Cohen follows our hero from his youth spent running around Brooklyn with his pals Sandy Koufax, Larry King, Who Ha, Inky, and Ben the Worrier (many of them members of his Bensonhurst gang, "the Warriors"); to his days coaching basketball in the army in Europe; to his years as a devoted and unconventional husband, father, and freelance guru crossing the country to give lectures, settle disputes, and hone the art of success while finding meaning in this strange, funny world. This book is an ode to a remarkable man by an adoring but not undiscerning son, and a treasure trove of hilarious antics and counterintuitive wisdom. (Some of this stuff you can use at home.) It's a bildungsroman, a collection of tall tales, the unfolding of a unique biography coiled around Herbie's great insight and guiding principle: The secret of life is to care, but not that much." - from the inner front jacket flap. Evans-Scanlon, Janet (book design); Merto, Alex (jacket design); Estevez, Herman (jacket photograph) (ilustrador).
