The book brings to life the people and ideas that forged modern finance and investing, from the formative days of Wall Street through the Great Depression and into the financial calamity of today. It\'s a tale that features professors who made and lost fortunes, battled fiercely over ideas, beat the house in blackjack, wrote bestselling books, and played major roles on the world stage. It\'s also a tale of Wall Street\'s evolution, the power of the market to generate wealth and wreak havoc, and free market capitalism\'s war with itself. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; The efficient market hypothesis&acirc;€”long part of academic folklore but codified in the 1960s at the University of Chicago&acirc;€”has evolved into a powerful myth. It has been the maker and loser of fortunes, the driver of trillions of dollars, the inspiration for index funds and vast new derivatives markets, and the guidepost for thousands of careers. The theory holds that the market is always right, and that the decisions of millions of rational investors, all acting on information to outsmart one another, always provide the best judge of a stock\'s value. That myth is crumbling. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; Celebrated journalist and columnist Fox introduces a new wave of economists and scholars who no longer teach that investors are rational or that the markets are always right. Many of them now agree with Yale professor Robert Shiller that the efficient markets theory &Acirc;“represents one of the most remarkable errors in the history of economic thought.&Acirc;” Today the theory has given way to counterintuitive hypotheses about human behavior, psychological models of decision making, and the irrationality of the markets. Investors overreact, underreact, and make irrational decisions based on imperfect data. In his landmark treatment of the history of the world\'s markets, Fox uncovers the new ideas that may come to drive the market in the century ahead. &lt;/p&gt;','0060598999.jpg'),('0061625450','Baseball Americana: Treasures from the Library of Congress',29.99,256,'HARDCOVER','2009-10-01','&lt;blockquote&gt; &lt;p&gt;A lavishly illustrated history of America\'s game, from the unparalleled collections of the Library of Congress&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/blockquote&gt; &lt;p&gt;Baseball, the sport that helped reunify the country in the years after the Civil War, remains the National Pastime.

Teachout reveals that the beaming visage of \"Reverend Satchelmouth\" was not a mark of racial subservience, but a clear symbol of Louis\'s refusal to let anything cloud the joy he derived from blowing his horn. \"Faced with the terrible realities of the time and place into which he had been born,\" explains Teachout, \"he didn\'t repine, but returned love for hatred and sought salvation in work.\" Armstrong was hardly impervious to the injustices of his era, but in his mind, nothing was more sacred than the music. --&lt;i&gt;Dave Callanan&lt;/i&gt;  &lt;p/&gt;  &lt;b&gt;Product Description&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br/&gt;  Louis Armstrong was the greatest jazz musician of the twentieth century and a giant of modern American culture. He knocked the Beatles off the top of the charts, wrote the finest of all jazz autobiographies--without a collaborator--and created collages that have been compared to the art of Romare Bearden. The ranks of his admirers included   Johnny Cash, Jackson Pollock and Orson Welles. Offstage he was witty, introspective and unexpectedly complex, a beloved colleague with an explosive temper whose larger-than-life personality was tougher and more sharp-edged than his worshipping fans ever knew.&lt;/P&gt;    &lt;I&gt;Wall Street Journal&lt;/I&gt; arts columnist Terry Teachout has drawn on a cache of important new sources unavailable to previous Armstrong biographers, including hundreds of private recordings of backstage and after-hours conversations that Armstrong made throughout the second half of his life, to craft a sweeping new narrative biography of this towering figure that shares full, accurate versions of such storied events as Armstrong\'s decision to break up his big band and his quarrel with President Eisenhower for the first time. Certain to be the definitive word on Armstrong for our generation, &lt;I&gt;Pops&lt;/I&gt; paints a gripping portrait of the man, his world and   his music that will stand alongside Gary Giddins\' &lt;I&gt;Bing Crosby: A Pocketful of Dreams&lt;/I&gt; and Peter Guralnick\'s &lt;I&gt;Last Train to Memphis: The Rise of Elvis Presley&lt;/I&gt; as a classic biography of a major American musician.&lt;br/&gt;  &lt;br/&gt;  &lt;hr class=\"bucketDivider\" size=\"1\" /&gt;  &lt;br/&gt;  &lt;P&gt;  &lt;B class=h1&gt;Amazon Exclusive: A Letter from Terry Teachout, Author of &lt;i&gt;Pops: A Life of Louis Armstrong&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/B&gt;&lt;img align=\"right\" border=\"0\" src=\"http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/books/hmh-ems/TerryTeachout.jpg\"/&gt;    &lt;/p&gt;  Dear Amazon Readers:&lt;p/&gt;    &lt;i&gt;Pops: A Life of Louis Armstrong&lt;/i&gt;, my new book, is the story of a great artist who was also a good man.&lt;p/&gt;    A genius who was born in the gutter--and became a celebrity known in every corner of the world.&lt;p/&gt;    A beloved entertainer who was more complex--and much tougher--than his fans ever imagined.&lt;p/&gt;    It\'s not the first Armstrong biography, but it\'s the first one to tell Satchmo\'s story accurately.

Of all &lt;a ref=\"http://www.amazon.com/Louis-Armstrong/e/B000APTKDS\"&gt;Louis Armstrong\'s records, this is the one I love best. Listen to how he floats atop   the beat in the last chorus--he sounds just like a tenor going for a high C.&lt;p/&gt;    &lt;b&gt;2.&lt;/b&gt; \"West End Blues\" (1928). The most celebrated of all Armstrong recordings and the quintessence of swing.\"&lt;p/&gt;    &lt;b&gt;3.&lt;/b&gt; \"Hotter Than That\" (1927). &acirc;€œI just played the way I sang,\" Pops said. His wordless vocal on this Hot Seven track proves it.&lt;p/&gt;    &lt;b&gt;4.&lt;/b&gt; \"Star Dust\" (1931). Further proof: listen to how he rewrites the lyrics to this familiar Hoagy Carmichael ballad.&lt;p/&gt;    &lt;b&gt;5.&lt;/b&gt; \"Darling Nelly Gray\" (1937). Satchmo transforms an old slave song, backed up by the suavely swinging Mills Brothers.&lt;p/&gt;    &lt;b&gt;6.&lt;/b&gt; \"Jeepers Creepers\" (1939). A charming souvenir of Armstrong\'s film career--he introduced this Johnny Mercer song in \"Going Places.\"&lt;p/&gt;    &lt;b&gt;7.&lt;/b&gt; \"Struttin\' with Some Barbecue\" (1938). A boiling-hot big-band remake of a classic 1927 Hot Five side in which the trumpeter improves on perfection.&lt;p/&gt;    &lt;b&gt;8.&lt;/b&gt; \"You Rascal, You\" (1950).

These are just a few of the fascinating and elusive questions that the science of complexity seeks to answer. &lt;br&gt;  &lt;br&gt;        In this remarkably accessible and companionable book, leading complex systems scientist Melanie Mitchell provides an intimate, detailed tour of the sciences of complexity, a broad set of efforts that seek to explain how large-scale complex, organized, and adaptive behavior can emerge from simple interactions among myriad individuals. Comprehending such systems requires a wholly new approach, one that goes beyond traditional scientific reductionism and that re-maps long-standing disciplinary boundaries. Based on her work at the Santa Fe Institute and drawing on its interdisciplinary strategies, Mitchell brings clarity to the workings of complexity across a broad range of biological, technological, and social phenomena, seeking out the general principles or laws that apply to all of them. She explores as well the relationship between complexity and evolution, artificial intelligence, computation, genetics, information processing, and many other fields.&lt;br&gt;  &lt;br&gt;     Richly illustrated and vividly written, Complexity: A Guided Tour offers a comprehensive and eminently comprehensible overview of the ideas underlying complex systems science, the current research at the forefront of this field, and the prospects for the field\'s contribution to solving some of the most important scientific questions of our time.','0195124413.jpg'),('0195393287','Atlas of the World: Sixteenth Edition',80,448,'HARDCOVER','2009-10-01','The only world atlas updated annually, guaranteeing that users will find the most current geographic information, Oxford\'s Atlas of the World is the most authoritative resource on the market.

The businesses that are agile, keeping ahead of the curve in terms of market changes and customer needs, are the businesses that are also progressive, socially responsible human communities.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Take IBM. When the tsunami and earthquake struck Asia, IBM didn&acirc;€™t just cut a check for relief funds and call it a day. The company used its technological expertise and skilled people to create what government and relief agencies could not: information systems to effectively track relief supplies and reunite families. While IBM did this with no commercial motive, its employees&acirc;€™ desire to serve people suffering during these crises stimulated innovations that later benefited the company. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Or Proctor &amp; Gamble. Despite a decade-long commitment to research and development of a water purification product, commercial prospects were unpromising. But because it was so consistent with P&amp;G&acirc;€™s statement of purpose, people within the company persevered. And when the tsunami struck, it was then able to deliver roughly a billion glasses of drinking water for the victims, earning plaudits from aid partners, the media, governments, and crucially, P&amp;G employees. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;i&gt;SuperCorp&lt;/i&gt; captures the zeitgeist of the emerging twenty-first-century business. For example: &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&acirc;€&cent; The strong potential synergy between financial performance and attention to community and social needs&lt;br&gt;&acirc;€&cent; The unique competitive advantage from embracing the values and expectations of a new generation of professionals&lt;br&gt;&acirc;€&cent; The growth opportunities that result from stressing values and supressing executive egos when seeking partners and integrating acquisitions&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;i&gt;SuperCorp&lt;/i&gt; is a remarkable look at the business of the future and the management skills required to get there. IBM, Banco Real, P&amp;G, Cemex, Omron, and other companies reported on now move with the rapidity and creativity of much smaller enterprises. These companies are not perfect, but when people are empowered and values drive decisions, everything can come together in magical &acirc;€œRubik&acirc;€™s Cube moments&acirc;€ of deep satisfaction. Kanter&acirc;€™s compelling and inspiring stories show that people are more inclined to be creative when their company values innovation that helps the world.','0307382354.jpg'),('0307459683','In Fed We Trust: Ben Bernanke\'s War on the Great Panic',26.99,336,'HARDCOVER','2009-08-04','&lt;b&gt;&acirc;€œWhatever it takes&acirc;€&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;That was Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke&acirc;€™s vow as the worst financial panic in more than fifty years gripped the world and he struggled to avoid the once unthinkable: a repeat of the Great Depression. Brilliant but temperamentally cautious, Bernanke researched and wrote about the causes of the Depression during his career as an academic. Then when thrust into a role as one of the most important people in the world, he was compelled to boldness by circumstances he never anticipated.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The president of the United States can respond instantly to a missile attack with America&acirc;€™s military might, but he cannot respond to a financial crisis with real money unless Congress acts. The Fed chairman can. Bernanke did. Under his leadership the Fed spearheaded the biggest government intervention in more than half a century and effectively became the fourth branch of government, with no direct accountability to the nation&acirc;€™s voters.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Believing that the economic catastrophe of the 1930s was largely the fault of a sluggish and wrongheaded Federal Reserve, Bernanke was determined not to repeat that epic mistake. In this penetrating look inside the most powerful economic institution in the world, David Wessel illuminates its opaque and undemocratic inner workings, while revealing how the Bernanke Fed led the desperate effort to prevent the world&acirc;€™s financial engine from grinding to a halt.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;In piecing together the fullest, most authoritative, and alarming picture yet of this decisive moment in our nation&acirc;€™s history, &lt;i&gt;In Fed We Trust&lt;/i&gt; answers the most critical questions. Among them:&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&acirc;€&cent; What did Bernanke and his team at the Fed know&acirc;€“and what took them by surprise? Which of their actions stretched&acirc;€“or even ripped through&acirc;€“the Fed&acirc;€™s legal authority? Which chilling numbers and indicators made them feel they had no choice?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&acirc;€&cent; What were they thinking at pivotal moments during the race to sell Bear Stearns, the unsuccessful quest to save Lehman Brothers, and the virtual nationalization of AIG, Fannie Mae, and Freddie Mac? What were they saying to one another when, as Bernanke put it to Wessel: &acirc;€œWe came very close to Depression 2.0&acirc;€?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&acirc;€&cent; How well did Bernanke, former treasury secretary Hank Paulson, and then New York Fed president Tim Geithner perform under intense pressure? &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&acirc;€&cent; How did the crisis prompt a reappraisal of the once-impregnable reputation of Alan Greenspan? &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;i&gt;In Fed We Trust&lt;/i&gt; is a breathtaking and singularly perceptive look at a historic episode in American and global economic history.','0307459683.jpg'),('0312351666','Smooth Talking Stranger',24.95,352,'HARDCOVER','2009-03-31','&lt;DIV&gt;&lt;P&gt;Jack Travis leads the uncomplicated life of a millionaire Texas playboy.&Acirc;&nbsp; He makes no commitments, he loves many women, he lives for pleasure.&Acirc;&nbsp; But no one has ever truly touched his heart or soul.&Acirc;&nbsp; Until one day, a woman appears on his doorstep with fury on her face and a baby in her arms.&Acirc;&nbsp; It seems Jack is the father and this woman is the baby&acirc;€™s aunt.

Inspired by the scientific ferment sweeping through Britain, the botanist had sailed with Captain Cook on his first &lt;i&gt;Endeavour &lt;/i&gt;voyage in search of new worlds. Other voyages of discovery&acirc;€”astronomical, chemical, poetical, philosophical&acirc;€”swiftly follow in Richard Holmes&acirc;€™s original evocation of what truly emerges as an Age of Wonder. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Brilliantly conceived as a relay of scientific stories, &lt;i&gt;The Age of Wonder&lt;/i&gt; investigates the earliest ideas of deep time and space, and the explorers of &acirc;€œdynamic science,&acirc;€ of an infinite, mysterious Nature waiting to be discovered. Three lives dominate the book: William Herschel and his sister Caroline, whose dedication to the study of the stars forever changed the public conception of the solar system, the Milky Way, and the meaning of the universe; and Humphry Davy, who, with only a grammar school education stunned the scientific community with his near-suicidal gas experiments that led to the invention of the miners&acirc;€™ lamp and established British chemistry as the leading professional science in Europe.  This age of exploration extended to great writers and poets as well as scientists, all creators relishing in moments of high exhilaration, boundary-pushing and discovery. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Holmes&acirc;€™s extraordinary evocation of this age of wonder shows how great ideas and experiments&acirc;€”both successes and failures&acirc;€”were born of singular and often lonely dedication, and how religious faith and scientific truth collide.

Exciting new ingredients are available everywhere, expanding our culinary horizons. Even casual meals have globe-trotting flavors. We want memorable dishes, and we want them to be healthy for our families and our planet. And with our busy schedules, we want them on the table faster than ever. A new culinary world calls for a new cookbook. &lt;i&gt;Gourmet Today&lt;/i&gt; responds to our changing foodscape with more vegetarian recipes, more recipes for popular dishes from every corner of the world, more recipes for stunning meals ready in 30 minutes or less, more simple ways to prepare all the vegetables in the farmers\' market, advice on choosing sustainable fish, chicken, and beef, tips on throwing an easy cocktail party, more recipes for flavorful techniques like grilling, and more recipes for the new ingredients flooding our market.&lt;p/&gt;    Each of the over 1,000 recipes was selected by editor in chief Ruth Reichl, a best-selling author in her own right, who wrote the introductions to each chapter. Every recipe has been tested and cross-tested in the &lt;i&gt;Gourmet&lt;/i&gt; test kitchen so every cook, whether a first-timer or a veteran, gets impeccable results. With menus for holidays and other seasonal occasions, an authoritative glossary of ingredients (plus mail-order sources), and hundreds of sidebars on ingredients and handy techniques from the test kitchen, &lt;i&gt;Gourmet Today&lt;/i&gt; is the indispensable book   for today\'s cook.&lt;br/&gt;  &lt;br/&gt;  &lt;hr class=\"bucketDivider\" size=\"1\" /&gt;  &lt;br/&gt;  &lt;P&gt;  &lt;B class=h1&gt;Amazon Exclusive: A Letter from Ruth Reichl&lt;/B&gt;&lt;img align=\"right\" border=\"0\" src=\"http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/books/hmh-ems/RuthReichl200.jpg\"/&gt;    &lt;/p&gt;    Dear Amazon Reader,&lt;p/&gt;   These days you hear a lot of gloom and doom about the state of American food. It\'s certainly true that if you want to focus on the negative, there\'s a lot to despair about. &lt;p/&gt;  On the other hand, the opposite is also true.  I wrote my first cookbook in 1971, and when I see the difference between what was available then and the food that now fills my supermarket, it makes me want to go dancing down the aisles.  &lt;p/&gt;  Back then things were so different that my editor insisted that I call for ground beef instead of lamb in a classic Greek moussaka; she said not many grocers actually sold lamb. She also worried about the recipe for handmade pasta (too esoteric) and a simple Chinese stir-fry of chicken (what on earth was a wok). She worried when I called for freshly grated Parmesan cheese (most people still used the stuff that came in the green can), fresh garlic (frowned upon in many places) and chiles (too hot, too hot, too hot).&lt;p/&gt;  What a difference a few years make!  The American supermarket has turned into an international bazaar, offering us all the best flavors of the world. Whether you want to cook the foods of Asia, the Americas, India or Europe, the ingredients are there. And that\'s only part of the good news; the other is that the era of mindless eating is over. Good cooks everywhere are now aware of the consequences of their choices, and when they walk through the aisles, they think about sustainability.&lt;p/&gt;  It\'s a wonderful time for people who care about food.  But it requires a new kind of cookbook, one that takes advantage of the great modern marketplace. &lt;i&gt;Gourmet&lt;/i&gt;\'s twelve test cooks spent five years exploring all the new ingredients available in the supermarkets--from frozen pizza dough to Thai chili pastes and eggroll wrappers--figuring out the best ways to use them. They haunted farmers markets too, so we could offer advice on cooking everything from ramps to celery root. They spent time in fish markets, snapping up new offerings like Arctic char and tilapia. Then they cooked each dish again and again and again, taking out unnecessary steps and ensuring that each was absolutely foolproof.  The result is more than a thousand recipes that are absolutely guaranteed to work.    I couldn\'t live without this book.  I love cooking from it.  I hope you will too. &lt;p/&gt;  Best wishes,&lt;p/&gt;  &lt;i&gt;Ruth Reichl&lt;/i&gt;&lt;p/&gt;  &lt;p&gt;(Photo &Acirc;&copy; Brigitte Lacombe)&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;br/&gt;  &lt;hr class=\"bucketDivider\" size=\"1\" /&gt;  &lt;br/&gt;  &lt;p&gt;       &lt;P&gt;  &lt;B class=h1&gt;Recipe Excerpts from &lt;i&gt;Gourmet Today&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/B&gt;  &lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p&gt;        &acirc;€&cent; Raspberry Lime Rickey  &lt;br/&gt;     &acirc;€&cent; Grilled Ceasar Salad  &lt;br/&gt;      &acirc;€&cent; Grilled Cumin Chicken Breasts with Avocado Salsa  &lt;br/&gt;    &acirc;€&cent; Chocolate Chunk Oatmeal Coconut Cookies        &lt;/P&gt;     ','0618610189.jpg'),('061896620X','Never Smile at a Monkey: And 17 Other Important Things to Remember',16,32,'HARDCOVER','2009-10-19','&lt;b&gt;Product Description&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br/&gt;  When it comes to wild animals, everyone knows that there are certain things you just don\'t do.

His angular melodies and dissonant harmonies shook the jazz world to its foundations, ushering in the birth of \"bebop\" and establishing Monk as one of America\'s greatest composers. Yet throughout much of his life, his musical contribution took a backseat to tales of his reputed behavior. Writers tended to obsess over Monk\'s hats or his proclivity to dance on stage. To his fans, he was the ultimate hipster; to his detractors, he was temperamental, eccentric, taciturn, or childlike. But these labels tell us little about the man or his music.&lt;P&gt;In the first book on Thelonious Monk based on exclusive access to the Monk family papers and private recordings, as well as on a decade of prodigious research, prize-winning historian Robin D. G. Kelley brings to light a startlingly different Thelonious Monk -- witty, intelligent, generous, politically engaged, brutally honest, and a devoted father and husband. Indeed, &lt;I&gt;Thelonious Monk&lt;/i&gt; is essentially a love story. It is a story of familial love, beginning with Monk\'s enslaved ancestors from whom Thelonious inherited an appreciation for community, freedom, and black traditions of sacred and secular song. It is about a doting mother who scrubbed floors to pay for piano lessons and encouraged her son to follow his dream. It is the story of romance, from Monk\'s initial heartbreaks to his lifelong commitment to his muse, the extraordinary Nellie Monk. And it is about his unique friendship with the Baroness Nica de Koenigswarter, a scion of the famous Rothschild family whose relationship with Monk and other jazz musicians has long been the subject of speculation and rumor. Nellie, Nica, and various friends and family sustained Monk during the long periods of joblessness, bipolar episodes, incarceration, health crises, and other tragic and difficult moments.&lt;P&gt;Above all, &lt;I&gt;Thelonious Monk&lt;/i&gt; is the gripping saga of an artist\'s struggle to \"make it\" without compromising his musical vision. It is a story that, like its subject, reflects the tidal ebbs and flows of American history in the twentieth century.

Greg Grandin tells the fascinating tale of Ford\'s campaign to transplant modern industrial methods that had succeeded for him in Detroit to the site he had selected along the Tapaj&Atilde;&sup3;s River, a branch of the Amazon. Brazil, of course, welcomed its illustrious benefactor with open arms (and, in many cases, open palms). But financial largesse and benevolent attitudes can mask less selfless motives in a donor\'s agenda. After all, latex was the sole component for his industry that Ford didn\'t control, and he had plans for changing that with his Brazilian venture. As part of his jungle dream, Ford also planned to build a town, Fordlandia, that would showcase all the virtues of the American 19th century small-town life of his youth. Imagining Brazilian plantation workers thriving under his personal ideal of high wages and healthy, moral living, he \'built Cape Cod-style shingled houses for his Brazilian workers and urged them to tend flower and vegetable gardens, and eat whole wheat bread and unpolished rice.\' Ballroom dancing and golf were leisure activities that he promoted. Nobody had the temerity to ask, \'In the middle of the Amazon rain forest? Are you deranged?\' Even if people had challenged him, Ford was so fixated on his idea that he probably would have ignored them. The Amazon (or, rather, his idea of the Amazon) represented a fresh start in an environment he considered uncorrupted by all that he saw blighting the American commercial landscape (like unions). Ford believed his will, capital and expertise could mold the world and was either ignorant of, or dismissed, \'the emotions of nationalism and deaf to the grievances of history.\' For starters, humidity, rainfall, dense forest and bugs proved to be severe challenges for managers used to less extreme conditions in the American Upper Midwest. Fretting endlessly over finding a factory whistle that would not rust in the jungle, they remained dangerously clueless about the culture they had invaded. As one local priest astutely observed, the Ford men \'never really figured out what country they were in.\' The inevitable came in December 1930, when a manager changed the way food was served to workers: he may have considered the change trivial, but the workers rioted and reduced Fordlandia to rubble. Today the site of Ford\'s dream town is a ghost city, decayed and overgrown, along the still-wild Tapaj&Atilde;&sup3;s.\"&acirc;€”&lt;B&gt;John McFarland, &lt;I&gt;Shelf Awareness&lt;/I&gt;&lt;/B&gt;&Acirc;&nbsp;&Acirc;&nbsp;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&acirc;€œMagic happens when a gifted historian and master storyteller finds a treasure trove of untapped materials to exploit.

Their stories are as varied as their personalities and the unique roles they served on that championship club. In the first-ever compilation of interviews with each player on the roster, we learn what moments remain vivid from that season, and how the experience affected their lives for years to come. Told in their own words, Where Have You Gone, 82 Brewers? recalls many of the anecdotes and memories from the 82 season that have never before been printed. Some, no doubt, have been embellished over time. But isn t that the fun of it?','0975876996.jpg'),('1400064996','A.

Lincoln.&acirc;€ In his lifetime and ever since, friend and foe have taken it upon themselves to characterize Lincoln according to their own label or libel. In this magnificent book, Ronald C. White, Jr., offers a fresh and compelling definition of Lincoln as a man of integrity&acirc;€“what today&acirc;€™s commentators would call &acirc;€œauthenticity&acirc;€&acirc;€“whose moral compass holds the key to understanding his life.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Through meticulous research of the newly completed Lincoln Legal Papers, as well as of recently discovered letters and photographs, White provides a portrait of Lincoln&acirc;€™s personal, political, and moral evolution. White shows us Lincoln as a man who would leave a trail of thoughts in his wake, jotting ideas on scraps of paper and filing them in his top hat or the bottom drawer of his desk; a country lawyer who asked questions in order to figure out his own thinking on an issue, as much as to argue the case; a hands-on commander in chief who, as soldiers and sailors watched in amazement, commandeered a boat and ordered an attack on Confederate shore batteries at the tip of the Virginia peninsula; a man who struggled with the immorality of slavery and as president acted publicly and privately to outlaw it forever; and finally, a president involved in a religious odyssey who wrote, for his own eyes only, a profound meditation on &acirc;€œthe will of God&acirc;€ in the Civil War that would become the basis of his finest address.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Most enlightening, the Abraham Lincoln who comes into focus in this stellar narrative is a person of intellectual curiosity, comfortable with ambiguity, unafraid to &acirc;€œthink anew and act anew.&acirc;€ &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;A transcendent, sweeping, passionately written biography that greatly expands our knowledge and understanding of its subject, &lt;i&gt;A. Lincoln &lt;/i&gt;will engage a whole new generation of Americans.

But even as he steered himself from childhood tragedy to his meeting with John Lennon to the gestation of the Beatles and their rise to international acclaim, the same appetites that drove the group to its greatest creative and commercial heights also served to tear the band members apart.&lt;P&gt;Still, McCartney\'s career didn\'t end with the Beatles\' breakup. Nor, for that matter, did the bonds between the Beatles. And in this definitive biography, Peter Ames Carlin examines McCartney\'s entire life, casting new light not just on the Beatles era, but also on his years with Wings and his thirty-year relationship with his first wife, Linda McCartney. He takes us on a journey through a tumultuous couple of decades in which Paul struck out on his own as a solo artist, reached the top of the charts with a new band, and once again drew hundreds of thousands of screaming fans to his concerts. Carlin presents McCartney as a musical visionary, capable of crafting pop gems such as \"Band on the Run\" and \"Maybe I\'m Amazed.\" But he also reveals a layered and often conflicted figure, as haunted by his legacy -- and particularly his relationshipwith John Lennon -- as he was inspired by it.&lt;P&gt;Built on years of research and fresh, revealing interviews with friends, bandmates, and collaborators spanning McCartney\'s entire life, Carlin\'s lively biography captures the many facets of Paul McCartney and paints a vivid portrait of one of our era\'s living legends.','1416562095.jpg'),('1416580867','Letters of Vincent van Gogh',15,352,'PAPERBACK','2008-11-18','&lt;b&gt;&lt;big&gt;&lt;p align=\"center\"&gt;A literary classic, &lt;I&gt;The Letters of Vincent van Gogh Captures&lt;/i&gt; the voice of one of the most beloved and important artists of all time.&lt;/big&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;P&gt;Though Vincent van Gogh is often thought of as a mad genius, in &lt;I&gt;The Letters of Vincent van Gogh&lt;/i&gt; the thoughtful, effervescent, and sensitive man is revealed to readers through his own voice.&lt;P&gt;This collection of letters, arranged in chronological order and written to Vincent\'s closest confidant, his brother and art dealer, Theo, provide a riveting narrative of van Gogh\'s life.

How Did That Happen? offers a proven way to eliminate these nasty surprises, gain an unbeatable competitive edge, and enhance performance by holding others accountable the positive, principled way. &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt; As the experts on workplace accountability and authors of The Oz Principle, the classic book on personal accountability, Roger Connors and Tom Smith now tackle the next crucial step everyone can take, whether as a manager, supervisor, CEO, or individual performer: creating greater accountability in all the people on whom you depend. &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt; Connors and Smith have spent decades implementing their approach to creating greater accountability in some of the world\'s most admired companies. Through hundreds of successful client applications, they have proven that organizational accountability can be the single most important factor in ensuring a company\'s success.  Now, they present the Accountability Sequence, a systematic and sensible approach that includes two essential components: The Outer Ring, which reveals how to establish expectations and positive accountability connections with everyone in the Expectations Chain. The Inner Ring, which shows how to manage unmet expectations when people fail to deliver and thereby reverse the misfortune of missed results. &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt; Using case studies, practical models, and self-assessments, the authors make it possible for anyone to install accountability as a central part of their daily work, their team\'s efforts, or an overall corporate culture-and, in turn, increase profits and generate better results.','1591842581.jpg'),('1594202230','Shop Class as Soulcraft: An Inquiry Into the Value of Work',25.95,256,'HARDCOVER','2009-05-28','&lt;B&gt;A philosopher / mechanic destroys the pretensions of the high- prestige workplace and makes an irresistible case for working with one\'s hands&lt;/B&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt; &lt;I&gt;Shop Class as Soulcraft&lt;/I&gt; brings alive an experience that was once quite common, but now seems to be receding from society-the experience of making and fixing things with our hands. Those of us who sit in an office often feel a lack of connection to the material world, a sense of loss, and find it difficult to say exactly what we do all day. For anyone who felt hustled off to college, then to the cubicle, against their own inclinations and natural bents, &lt;I&gt;Shop Class as Soulcraft&lt;/I&gt; seeks to restore the honor of the manual trades as a life worth choosing. &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt; On both economic and psychological grounds, Crawford questions the educational imperative of turning everyone into a \"knowledge worker,\" based on a misguided separation of thinking from doing, the work of the hand from that of the mind.  Crawford shows us how such a partition, which began a century ago with the assembly line, degrades work for those on both sides of the divide. &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt; But Crawford offers good news as well: the manual trades are very different from the assembly line, and from dumbed-down white collar work as well.  They require careful thinking and are punctuated by moments of genuine pleasure.  Based on his own experience as an electrician and mechanic, Crawford makes a case for the intrinsic satisfactions and cognitive challenges of manual work.  The work of builders and mechanics is secure; it cannot be outsourced, and it cannot be made obsolete.  Such work ties us to the local communities in which we live, and instills the pride that comes from doing work that is genuinely useful. A wholly original debut, &lt;I&gt;Shop Class as Soulcraft&lt;/I&gt; offers a passionate call for self-reliance and a moving reflection on how we can live concretely in an ever more abstract world.','1594202230.jpg'),('1594488827','Green Metropolis: Why Living Smaller, Living Closer, and Driving Less are the Keys to Sustainability',25.95,368,'HARDCOVER','2009-09-17','&lt;B&gt;A challenging, controversial, and highly readable look at our lives, our world, and our future.&lt;/B&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt; In this remarkable challenge to conventional thinking about the environment, David Owen argues that the greenest community in the United States is not Portland, Oregon, or Snowmass, Colorado, but New York, New York.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt; Most Americans think of crowded cities as ecological nightmares, as wastelands of concrete and garbage and diesel fumes and traffic jams. Yet residents of compact urban centers, Owen shows, individually consume less oil, electricity, and water than other Americans. They live in smaller spaces, discard less trash, and, most important of all, spend far less time in automobiles. Residents of Manhattan- the most densely populated place in North America -rank first in public-transit use and last in percapita greenhouse-gas production, and they consume gasoline at a rate that the country as a whole hasn\'t matched since the mid-1920s, when the most widely owned car in the United States was the Ford Model T. They are also among the only people in the United States for whom walking is still an important means of daily transportation.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt; These achievements are not accidents. Spreading people thinly across the countryside may make them feel green, but it doesn\'t reduce the damage they do to the environment. In fact, it increases the damage, while also making the problems they cause harder to see and to address. Owen contends that the environmental problem we face, at the current stage of our assault on the world\'s nonrenewable resources, is not how to make teeming cities more like the pristine countryside. The problem is how to make other settled places more like Manhattan, whose residents presently come closer than any other Americans to meeting environmental goals that all of us, eventually, will have to come to terms with.','1594488827.jpg'),('1594488843','Drive: The Surprising Truth About What Motivates Us',26.95,256,'HARDCOVER','2009-12-29','Forget everything you thought you knew about how to motivate people--at work, at school, at home. It\'s wrong. As Daniel H. Pink explains in his new and paradigm-shattering book &lt;I&gt;Drive: The Surprising Truth About What Motivates Us&lt;/I&gt;, the secret to high performance and satisfaction in today\'s world is the deeply human need to direct our own lives, to learn and create new things, and to do better by ourselves and our world. &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt; Drawing on four decades of scientific research on human motivation, Pink exposes the mismatch between what science knows and what business does--and how that affects every aspect of our lives. He demonstrates that while the old-fashioned carrot-and-stick approach worked successfully in the 20th century, it\'s precisely the &lt;I&gt;wrong&lt;/I&gt; way to motivate people for today\'s challenges. In &lt;I&gt;Drive&lt;/I&gt;, he reveals the three elements of true motivation: &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt; *&lt;B&gt;Autonomy&lt;/B&gt;- the desire to direct our own lives &lt;BR&gt; *&lt;B&gt;Mastery&lt;/B&gt;- the urge to get better and better at something that matters &lt;BR&gt; *&lt;B&gt;Purpose&lt;/B&gt;- the yearning to do what we do in the service of something larger than ourselves &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt; Along the way, he takes us to companies that are enlisting new approaches to motivation and introduces us to the scientists and entrepreneurs who are pointing a bold way forward. &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt; &lt;I&gt;Drive&lt;/I&gt; is bursting with big ideas-- the rare book that will change how you think and transform how you live.','1594488843.jpg'),('159582362X','Usagi Yojimbo: Yokai',14.95,64,'HARDCOVER','2009-12-02','Yokai are the monsters, demons, and spirits of Japanese folklore, such as the shape-changing kitsune, the obakeneko demon cats, and the evil oni ogres.

In &lt;I&gt;Birth&lt;/I&gt;, she presents a compelling message that every person in the world is capable of contributing to change. Arison\'s account chronicles her own journeys, both spiritually and in business, that led to the repositioning of the Arison Group as an enterprise focused on balancing profit with a strong commitment&Acirc;&nbsp;to sustainability and philanthropy. She passionately advocates mutual responsibility, intimately outlining how one must first turn within him or herself and attain inner peace to work toward the larger picture of world accord.

Raised in Israel and Miami, Fla., the thrice-married mother of four and head of the Arison Group (with controlling interests in Israel&acirc;€™s largest bank, among other investments) has an experienced, authoritative voice that benefits from her candid bravura, unafraid to divulge the messages she claims to have received from &acirc;€œup above&acirc;€ through dreams and the wishes of others. In simple language, she also recalls many painful and difficult chapters in her life, as well as lessons from her study of the world&acirc;€™s religions. Her journey has left her with a rather secular devotion to self-knowledge and authenticity, what she believes are the keys to maintaining order and principle among chaos. Arison&acirc;€™s proposal is that business should be driven by core values&acirc;€”integrity, purity, vision, and vitality&acirc;€”rather than financial gain.

This is how the Rothko Room, one of the highlights of Tate\'s collection, was born.
