Soft cover. Condición: Very Good. 1st Abacus Edition. Paperback. Fathers' Race. A Book About Paternity. Books about fatherhood are usually either chipper, no-nonsense handbooks or collections of introspective essays, bowing under the weight of their own sensitivity.

This is what it's really like: a shambles of experience and emotions, misery and elation, boredom and breathless terror. Read this book, and at least you'll know that it's not just you. Fatherhood is actually meant to be impossible. 249 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions ,and all types of Academic Literature.).…

Soft cover. Condición: Very Good. Reprint. Paperback. Very slight browning to edges of pages through age. At the beginning of the 1930s, historian William L. Shirer was sent to India by the Chicago Tribune to cover the rise of the Independence Movement. During this time Shirer was priviliged to observe Mahatma Gandhi as he launched the Civil Disobedience Campaign and to enjoy his personal friendship and confidence. In this fadcinating memoir, Shirer writes perceptively and unforgettably about Gandhi's frailties as well as his accomplishments. Despite his greatness, Gandhi was the first to admit that he was a human being with his own prejudices and peculiarities: he could be stubborn and dictatorial, yet the magnificence of the man rose above all else. This book sheds a special light on the man who left such an indelible imprint on India and the world. Illustrated. 255 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions ,and all types of Academic Literature.).…

Soft cover. Condición: Good. 1st Abacus Edition. Paperback. Waterstain mark to bottom corner of last few pages. Couple of slight creases to cover. Still convinced that the only true modern traveller is the business travelloer. The author takes us on another irreverent global tour. He snubs his nose at the 'gimmick tourists', eschews crossing the Sahara naked on a skateboard and carries on doing what he does best - business, all over the world, with a wonderully diverse range of characters. Power-players in Milan, storm-trooping language police in Toronot, and just general chaos in Kinshasa: a mere selection of the obstacles the interenational businessman must face as he struggles to get to grips with the local way of doing things. But it's all in the name of commerse, and whether he's trapped in a luxury hotel during the riots in Bombay or working his way through a Good Food Guide to Ouagadougou in one of the poorest countries in the world, the author usually comes up trumps.not necessarily with the deal he was after, but always with a hilarious tale to tell. 378 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions ,and all types of Academic Literature.).…
