FROM THE PUBLISHER - The greatly anticipated new novel by Norman Rush - whose first novel, MATING, won the National Book Award and was everywhere acclaimed - is his richest work yet. It is at once a political adventure, a social comedy, and a passionate triangle. It is set in the 19905 in Botswana - the African country Rush has indelibly made his own fictional territory. MORTALS chronicles the misadventures of three ex- pat Americans: Ray Finch, a contract CIA agent, operating undercover as an English instructor in a private school, who is setting out on perhaps his most difficult assignment; his beautiful but slightly foolish and disaffected wife, Iris, with whom he is obsessively in love; and Davis Morel, an iconoclastic black holistic physician, who is on a personal mission to ‘lift the yoke of Christian belief from Africa.' The passions of these three entangle them with a local populist leader, Samuel Kerekang, whose purposes are grotesquely misconstrued by the CIA, fixated as the agency is on the astonishing collapse of world socialism and the simultaneous, paradoxical triumph of radical black nationalism in South Africa, Botswana's neighbor. And when a small but violent insurrection erupts in the wild northern part of the country, inspired by Kerekang but stoked by the erotic and political intrigues of the American trio - the outcome is explosive and often explosively funny. Along the way, there are many pleasures. Letters from Ray's brilliantly hostile brother and Iris's woebegone sister provide a running commentary on contemporary life in America. Africa and Africans are powerfully evoked, and the expatriate scene is cheerfully skewered. inventory #33863 ISBN: 0679406220., 0, New York. 2003. October 2003. Viking Press. 1st American Edition.

FROM THE PUBLISHER - Two seemingly unrelated events occur in the Philippines-the discovery of the Taobo, an ancient lost tribe living in a remote mountainous area, and the arrival of an American, celebrity-studded film crew, there to make an epic Vietnam War movie. But the 'lost tribe' just might be a clever hoax masterminded by a brooding wealthy iconoclast-and the Hollywood movie seems doomed as the cast and crew continue to self-destruct in a cloud of drugs and their own egos. As the consequences of these events play out, four unforgettable characters find themselves drawn together, sometimes passionately, sometimes violently. The iconoclast playboy, Zamora de Legazpi, renowned for being the first outsider to make contact with the Taobo tribe, cannot escape the boredom and frustration of his corrupt class. Rizalina, Zamora's resourceful and intelligent young servant, flees Zamora's estate, only to get trapped in the seedy underworld of sex tourism. The American actor Vincent Moody, whose personal demons cause him to feel detached from the other actors and the film crew, becomes entangled and then obsessed with Rizalina. Paz Marlowe, a writer, returns to the Philippines from Los Angeles when her mother dies, and stays to witness the fate of Zamora, the movie, and the country. inventory #33985 ISBN: 0670884588., 0, Perseus Publishing Company, 1999-08-12.

Feynman remade quantum electrodynamics, the theory of the interaction between light and matter, and thus altered the way science understands the nature of waves and particles. He was co-awarded the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1965 for this work, which tied together in an experimentally perfect package all the varied phenomena at work in light, radio, electricity, and magnetism., Perseus Publishing Company, 1999-08-12, 5, Iconoclast Publishing, 4/20/2013 12:00:01 A. paperback.

A noted architect shares his iconoclastic approach to the creation of public space, his ideas about tragedy and hope and the ways in which architecture can shape and memorialize human experience, and his unique vision for the construction of the 1776 Freedom Tower at the World Trade Center site. Daniel Libeskind is an international figure in architecture and urban design. Libeskind is Principle Design Architect in Studio Libeskind, the firm he founded in 1990; the firm is working on major architectural commissions including cultural institutions, museums, concert halls, landscape projects, stage designs, and exhibitions around the world., Riverhead Books, 2004, 4, Zürich - : Orell Füssli - , 1924. 1.-3.

Over the course of ten international bestsellers including The Camino and Out on a Limb, Shirley MacLaine has firmly established herself as a fearless, iconoclastic thinker and seeker of truth. Now, as she confronts the realities and rewards of growing older, MacLaine reflects on where her journey has taken her and the greater understanding of her own place in the universe that her experiences have brought into her life. As she looks back across the remarkable professional and personal milestones she has experienced so far, MacLaine is able to recognize the profound power of synchronicity at work. Sage-ing While Age-ing explores a wealth of issues from health and nutrition, to spirituality, to life on other planets, to MacLaine's views about the greatest mystery of all: what happens to us after death. Filled with her trademark wit and candor, this is a powerful, provocative book that will delight and intrigue MacLaine's legions of fans and fellow travelers everywhere. . 2007. 1st Hardcover.

Known for making vivid, memorable, and often controversial work, Victore has sought comrades, not clients--brave, smart collaborators who have encouraged him to reinterpret old design solutions and to pressure viewers to think about issues in a new way. Leading readers through this collection of "greatest hits," Victore tells the stories behind his inspirations, his process, and the lessons learned. The result is an inspiring, funny, and honest book, which showcases a body of work that has been plastered on the streets of New York, hung at MoMA, and featured in magazines all over the world. Praise for "Victore or, Who Died and Made You Boss?: " "Victore's book makes the reader want to rise up and, in Victore's words, 'examine the cliche, then dig deeper into the idea, and do that again and again, turning and twisting it deeper each time.'" --Stacey Kahn, Print magazine, October 2010 "Victore or, Who Died and Made You Boss?" is both a monograph and a manifesto, visually tacking ideas on racism, war or capital punishment while taunting complacency and challenging the boundaries of taste." --Ruth Hagopian, Communication Arts, December 2010 "With his unpatriotic attitude and interest in 'unholy sex, ' James Victore is a designer with opinions, as exhibited in a new book of his work." --David Crowley, Creative Review, October 2010 "For anyone interested in the currency of ideas, this volume will inspire, encourage, and, quite possibly, shock.
