“In his most important book to date, Daniel Yankelovich, the dean of American public research, offers a prescription for strengthening the public’s hand in its silent power struggle with the experts. With insight gained from over thirty years of research into how public opinion is formed, Yankelovich focuses on an issue of rising concern to us all: the American public’s eroding ability to influence its own future. His ‘Ten Rule for Resolution’ offer leaders and the media hard-hitting pragmatic suggestions for how to present the nation’s problems to the American people- and, equally important, for how to listen to what the people have to say.” — Back Cover Good: Very tidy condition.

The book focuses on the domestic, imaginative play of two young siblings or friends, Adam and Rosie. Rather than flying on a literal spaceship into outer space, Adam and Rosie transform a regular, everyday environment—such as their backyard, a local park, or a messy bedroom—into a “strange planet” through their imagination. While exploring this alien world, the children encounter imaginary extraterrestrial obstacles, strange alien creatures, or “hazardous” terrain. Grounded in early-childhood reality, the imaginative space adventure gently concludes when their mother or father steps in to bring them back to reality for a snack, lunch, or bedtime.

In one of his most energetic and enjoyable novels, Charles Dickens tells the life story of David Copperfield, from his birth in Suffolk, through the various struggles of his childhood, to his successful career as a novelist. The early scenes are particularly masterful, depicting the world as seen from the perspective of a fatherless small boy, whose idyllic life with his mother is ruined when she marries again, this time to a domineering and cruel man. David Copperfield is partly modelled on Dickens’ own experiences, and one of the great joys of the book lies in its outlandish cast of characters, which includes the glamorous Steerforth, the cheerful, verbose Mr Micawber, the villainous Uriah Heep, and David’s eccentric aunt, Betsey Trotwood. Dickens described it as his ‘favourite child’ among his novels, and it is easy to see why. This Macmillan Collector’s Library edition of David Copperfield features original illustrations by H. K. Browne ‘Phiz’, with an afterword by Sam Gilpin. This edition is unabridged and features a hard bound red cloth cover with gold gilt on the spine and gold gilt page edges and a red ribbon marker. The pocket editions by the Collector’s Library are an ideal gift or addition to your library.

Translating the beauty and splendor of his native Conamara into a language exquisitely attuned to the wonder of the everyday, John O’Donohue takes us on a moving journey through real and imagined worlds. Divided into three parts — Approachings, Encounters, and Distances — Conamara Blues at once reawakens a sense of intimacy with the natural world and a feeling of wonder at the mystery of our relationship to this world. Whether exploring the silent, eternal memory of Conamara or focusing on the power of language and the vagaries of human need and passion, O’Donohue tenderly reveals the fragile vulnerability of love and friendship. The result is a musical, transcendent, and deeply moving series of poems that exemplifies O’Donohue at his finest.Written with penetrating insight and distilled transparence, Conamara Blues offers a singular and lasting imaginative vision of a landscape of hope and possibility — powerfully exhibiting the mastery of a poet at the height of his lyric powers. The book is a signed copy by the author and features a ribbon marker. The dust jacket has a sun faded spine and minor tear and minor stains on the back. The book is in as new condition.

Connie Nixon is no stranger to making lists. In fact, she has rewritten the list of her deepest desires no fewer than forty-eight times. And each Sunday, for as long as she can remember, she’s tinkered with it. But actually doing something about her desires is a different story–until the night she comes across a box belonging to her estranged daughter…and makes a stunning discovery. It turns out that her seemingly straitlaced Jessica is part owner of one of the most successful sex toy shops in America.

Shocked by her daughter’s secret life, Connie tucks her list in her back pocket and does something utterly impulsive: she hops on a plane to New York City to track down Jessica–and winds up on the wildest adventure of her life. Because with her daughter’s help, Connie’s about to let her own inner bombshell see the light of day.

Now, for the first time ever, things are flying off Connie’s list. Like reconnecting with her daughter. And getting tipsy before noon. And the most startlingly extraordinary desire of all: falling in love. Good: Tidy condition

The Alexandria Quartet is a masterpiece tetralogy of novels written by British author Lawrence Durrell and published between 1957 and 1960. Set in Alexandria, Egypt, before and during World War II, the series is famously described by Durrell as an “investigation of modern love”. It is highly celebrated for its lush, sensuous prose, complex characters, and innovative structural experimentation with perspective, time, and relative truth. The Four Novels The quartet is structured non-linearly, with the first three books acting as “siblings” that overlap in time to showcase different perspectives of the exact same events. The fourth book acts as a chronological sequel: • Justine (1957): Introduction to the cosmopolitan city and the initial account of a passionate, ill-fated love affair between the narrator, L.G. Darley, and a mysterious married woman named Justine. • Balthazar (1958): The intellectual doctor Balthazar heavily deconstructs and corrects Darley’s romantic assumptions from the first book, revealing hidden political and emotional angles. • Mountolive (1958): An objective, third-person account centered on a British diplomat, providing a clearer look at the overarching political intrigue and religious tensions. • Clea (1960): Set six years later, this final volume moves forward in time, following Darley’s return to Alexandria, his artistic healing, and a new relationship with a painter named Clea. Please note the image is not of the actual book. Poor: The book shows significant signs of wear. Very Easy to read small print. The binding is good.
