Solidly bound copy and dust jacket with moderate external wear, crisp pages and clean text. Library card holder glued to last page. Presumably, an ex-library-copy. Dust jacket suffers minor wear around edges, and in some places. Sysnopsis: 'Where the Bluebird Sings to the Lemonade Springs' gathers together Wallace Stegner's most important and memorable writings on the American West: its landscapes, diverse history, and shifting identity; its beauty, fragility, and power. With subjects ranging from the writer's own "migrant childhood" to the need to protect what remains of the great western wilderness (which Stegner dubs "the geography of hope") to poignant profiles of western writers such as John Steinbeck and Norman Maclean, this collection is a riveting testament to the power of place. At the same time it communicates vividly the sensibility and range of this most gifted of American writers, historians, and environmentalists.

Includes List of Other Book(s) by Shaquille O'Neal; Author Dedication and Acknowledgments. Illustrated with a section of both black-and-white and color photographic plates. "It's rare to discover a candid sports autobiography - even rarer when the author is one of the most recognizable athletes in the world. But in Shaq Talks Back, Shaquille O'Neal for the first time talks frankly about his childhood, his life, his rivalries, and his career, culminating in a dramatic, behind-the-scenes account of the Los Angeles Lakers' drive to the NBA Championship. At seven feet one inch tall and 330 pounds, Shaq has always faced outsized expectations, even as a child when he towered over other kids. Shaq Talks Back is the story of how potential became reality - how someone expected to be a champion finally learned to become one. Beginning with his memory of crying on the court after the Lakers defeated the Indiana Pacers, Shaq takes us back to his younger days in Newark and Jersey City, New Jersey, then to Georgia and finally to Germany, where he began to harness some of his height and strength. From there, he recounts the remarkable progress of his basketball career, changing from a big but inexperienced teenager to a dominant college and professional player. Shaq talks about: * Playing at Louisiana State University for the unpredictable coach Dale Brown; * Signing the biggest rookie contract ever with the Olrando Magic - and going to the NBA Finals for the first time; * What happened next: dissention, disappointment, and his decision to leave for Los Angeles; * The dysfunctional Lakers who were never able to win the big games; * Dealing with egos as he finds the right chemistry with Kobe Bryant, Phil Jackson, and new additions to the team; * Rivalries with Alonzo Mourning, Patrick Ewing, Hakeem Olajuwon, David Robinson, and others; * The trouble with free throws. * "Bling-Bling" and women: the larger-than-life world of NBA players off the court; * Inside the Lakers' comeback from the brink against Portland and the drive to the NBA championship. Funny, insightful, opinionated, and unexpectedly moving, Shaq Talks Back is the true voice of the NBA's best player." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps.

Includes Author Dedication; Acknowledgments; Preface; Appendices; Diabetes Resource Guide and Index. Illustrated with a section of black-and-white photographic plates. "Withe generosity of spirit, ebullience, and sly humor, Mary Tyler Moore presents the intensely private, often funny, and sometimes startling story of her life with diabetes. Growing Up Again is a delightfully candid read for her legion of fans, the more than 20 million Americans with diabetes, and everyone struggling to cope with life's unexpected challenges. Mary Tyler Moore, actress and activist, relates the highs and lows of living with type 1 diabetes for the past forty years. With inspired, well-crafted prose, she drills down to the most heartfelt yet universal truths about life - including the lives of those with diabetes. She unflinchingly chronicles her struggle with diabetes, as well as her successful rehabilitation from alcohol dependence, all while deriving gratification from her roles as an actress, mother, businesswoman, campaigner, and fund-raiser. Her revealing tales of both her successes and failures in coping with diabetes offer others with the disease guidance and inspiration through example. In Growing Up Again, stories include her rebounding from a low-blood-sugar episode during a Mary Tyler Moore Show script reading after the director poured orange juice down her throat, to misadventures caused by diabetes-related vision impairment at a dimly lit party for John Travolta. She also taps into the vast diabetes research network to talk to diabetic children and adults and with leading experts who are discovering new ways to control diabetes and its complications, and pursuing new ways to cure this disease." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps.

Williams (Jacket Photo); Wyatt Mc Spadden (Author Photo) Ilustrador. 1st Edition. 313 pp. Solidly bound copy and dj with minimal external wear, crisp pages and clean text. "The first biography of this meteoric guitar hero. Emerging from the hotbed of Texas blues, Stevie Ray Vaughan developed his unique style early on, in competition with his older brother, Jimmy Vaughan, founder of the Fabulous Thunderbirds - a competition that shaped much of Stevie's Life. His death in a freak helicopter crash in 1990 silenced one of the great musical talents of our time." - from dust jacket. Synopsis: Publishers Weekly Austin-based journalists Patoski and Crawford pen a rousing account of Texas blues guitarist Stevie Ray Vaughan, who died at age 35 in a 1990 helicopter crash. The Dallas-born Vaughan began playing electric guitar in imitation of older brother Jimmie, who founded the Fabulous Thunderbirds. Both brothers were fixtures of the 1960s and '70s Austin scene, which spawned such rock acts as ZZ Top and allowed Stevie Ray to form his own band, Double Trouble. Vaughan's biggest break was playing on David Bowie's 1983 Let's Dance album; when he brazenly rejected Bowie's offer to tour, he garnered music-industry notice. Later, as his career skyrocketed, Vaughan abused cocaine and whiskey. He underwent treatment in 1986, a process which sealed his friendship with guitarist and recovered heroin addict Eric Clapton. Afterward, Vaughan became a preachy proponent of AA's 12-step program; he is reverently portrayed here as an inspiration to troubled fans. Backed up by plenty of blues history, this enthusiastic tribute ably succeeds as a narrative, adopting the down-home colloquialisms of its subject. Photos not seen by PW. (May) Library Journal The authors provide a penetrating first biography of blues/rock guitar virtuoso Vaughn (1954-90). Through the use of extensive interviews, they succeed particularly well in describing Vaughan's childhood relationships with his abusive father and his older brother, who served as a role model. The authors chart Vaughan's initial interest in music, his emergence on the Texas music scene, his 1983 breakthrough, and his continued rise to superstardom until his untimely death in a helicopter crash. Writing in a breezy, engaging style, they offer an intimate look at the insecurities and abilities of Vaughan to explain his sometimes tortured, drug-dominated life and his fiery, powerful music. Highly recommended for general music collections.-- David Szatmary, Univ. of Washington, Seattle Annotation Now available in paperback, here is the bestselling biography of America's last guitar legend, Texas firebrand Stevie Ray Vaughan. Hailed the greatest guitarist since Hendrix, Vaughan emerged from the hotbed of Texas blues to develop a blistering, unforgettable style all his own. "A rich, complete, and loving portrait."--Detroit Free Press.

Signed, with a general sentiment, and dated (July 1997), by the author with thick black Sharpie/marker on the blank first free front endpaper. "And speaking of the Hamptons, those of you who do not read James Brady are missing his cream-of-the-crop writing about that spot.No one does it with Brady's panache." - Liz Smith in Newsday. "As another gorgeous East Hampton season climaxes, a remarkable woman, admired by the millions who know her only through television and her books - and cordially despised by some of those closest to her - is found dead on the beach with a stake of privet hedge driven brutally through her heart. Who killed lifestyle guru Hannah Cutting and why? With the rich and famous of the lovely resort village among the suspects, foreign correspondent Beecher Stowe, back home at his family home on Further Lane, traces Hannah's roots while digging for clues. Competing with Stowe is a young book editor dispatched to the scene by Harry Evans of Random House to find and retrieve the tell-all manuscript on which Hannah was working whhen she died. This is Alix Dunraven, a member in London of Princess Di's set of "Sloane Rangers." Now Stowe and Lady Alix make for an unexpectedly sassy and stylish team as they lead an elegant but deadly romp through the Hamptons, from redneck bars to the Maidstone Country Club, from rich men's estates to the Shinnecock Indian Reservation, from surfer hangouts to the tennis courts, as all the tensions and frictions of America's famous summer playground play themselves out: Old Money vs. New, tree-huggers vs. land developers, Hollywood arrivistes vs. Establishment WASPs. As Alix and Beecher close in on why Hannah died, a great September hurricane comes boiling up the East Coast toward East Hampton's gloden beaches and dune-top mansions. With his trademark verve and stylish wit, longtime Further Lane resident and gossp extraordinaire James Brady brings the ins and outs of the wonderfully catty East Hampton world to murderous life." - from the inner front jacket flap.

"Ralph Lauren is this country's most recognized fashion designer. Every year his name or logo appears on at least ten million products, or about one for every seventeen adults. His clothes are sold throughout Europe and the Far East, and his store in the Rhinelander Mansion on Madison Avenue is a New York tourist attraction. With this kind of distribution comes riches and fame, and Ralph Lauren knows both. One of the country's wealthiest businessmen, he has amassed a personal fortune of $400 million, and this wealth, together with his clothes and his success, have made him a pop-culture phenomenon of the 1980s: the entrepreneur as celebrity. Life has not always been so glamorous for Lauren, though. The youngest child of Russian immigrants living in the Bronx, he made his own way to the top in a version of the great American dream that is full of contradictions. He is a designer who cannot sketch and a businessman who is uncomfortable with numbers. He sells crocodile loafers for more than $500 and hand-tailored suits for more than $1,000 - yet he often dresses for work in blue jeans and a denim shirt. While most of his competitors are regulars on the New York social circuit, he prefers to spend his time with his wife of more than twenty years and his three children. With a keen eye and the lean incisive prose of a skilled journalist, Jeffrey Trachtenberg gives us a fast-paced look at how Ralph left the Mosholu Parkway and made his fantasies come true. All the high notes are here: the early days as a glove and tie salesman, the launch of Polo Fashions in 1967, the introduction of wide ties, and the start of his relationship with Bloomingdale's. There is also his near brush with bankruptcy, his involvement with filming The Great Gatsby, his relationship with Steve Ross of Warner Communications, and his bout with a brain tumor. Based on more than 150 interviews with Ralph Lauren's business associates and former employees, as well as a dozen interviews with the designer himself and his business partner, Peter Strom, Ralph Lauren: The Man Behind the Mystique is a lively and illuminating assessment of a burgeoning international business and the driving force behind it. It explains how Ralph Lauren merchandised a concept rather than a particular look and how his taste has made its mark on allied industries, including advertising and home textiles. Finally, it is the story of how perseverance, marketing know-how, and the fear of failure pushed a kid from the Bronx farther than anybody imagined possible." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps.
