With Wear To Edges And/Or Turned Corners. - For More Information On Condition. Please See All Photos. A Bestselling Investigative Journalist Takes A Tour Of The Alberta Oil And Gas Industry, Revealing How Canada'S Richest Province Is Squandering Our Chance For A Sustainable Future. In Its Desperate Search For Oil And Gas Riches, Alberta Is Destroying Itself. As The World Teeters On The Edge Of Catastrophic Climate Change, Alberta Plunges Ahead With Uncontrolled Development Of Its Fossil Fuels, Levelling Its Northern Boreal Forest To Get At The Oil Sands, And Carpet-Bombing Its Southern Half With Tens Of Thousands Of Gas Wells. In So Doing, It Is Running Out Of Water, Destroying Its Range Land, Wiping Out Its Forests And Wildlife And Spewing Huge Amounts Of Greenhouse Gases Into The Atmosphere, Adding To Global Warming At A Rate That Is Unrivalled In Canada Or Almost Anywhere Else In The World. It'S Digging, Drilling And Blasting Its Way To Oblivion, Becoming The Ultimate Symbol Of Canada'S - And The World'S - Pathological Will To Self-Destruct. Nowhere Has The World Seen Such Colossal Environmental Destruction As Is Being Wreaked On Alberta. At One Point The Province Even Went So Far As To Consider A Scientist'S Idea Of Nuking Its Underbelly To Get At The Tar Sands. Stupid To The Last Drop Looks At The Increasingly Violent Geopolitical Forces That Are Gathering As The World'S Gas And Oil Dwindle And The Age Of Oil Begins Its Inevitable Slide Towards Oblivion. As Canadians Deplete Their Energy Reserves, Selling Them Off To Americans At Bargain-Basement Prices, No Thought Is Given To Conservation Or The Long-Term Needs Of The Nation. In This Powerful Polemic, William Marsden Journeys Across The Heart Of A Province Seized By The Destructive Forces Of Greed, Power And The Energy Business, And Envisions A Very Bleak Future.

boston: houghton mifflin & co, 1971. Hard cover. Good in fair dust jacket. Signed by author. signed by author. 275 p. At the Drop of a Veil: Marianne Alireza-SIGNED BY; AUTHOR-HARDCOVER-Marianne Alireza (Author)-CONDITION GOOD-DJ FAIR-SIGNED BY AUTHOR-COPYRIGHT1971 11TH PRINTING-275 PAGES-PUBLISHED BY HOUGHTON MIFFLIN CO, BOSTON This review is from: At the Drop of a Veil (Hardcover) This book tells the tale of Marianne Alireza, an American college student who married a Saudi citizen in 1943. In 1945, Alireza moved to Jeddah with her husband and infant daughter, and from there witnessed Arabian lifestyle firsthand for 12 years. She describes her experiences as part of the Alireza harem, composed of her mother-in-law, 2 sisters-in-law and their various children, of which Marianne herself eventually had 5. Alireza discusses how the family traveled to the mountains of Ethiopia to escape the summer heat in Jeddah, and how development changed all of their lives. She also details the events that led to the end of her marriage, and how she abducted her children from their school in Switzerland. The details of this book make it invaluable for anyone wanting to learn about living conditions for women in affluent Saudi Arabia in the 1940s and 50s. The story of Alireza's marriage and its demise should also serve as a warning to any Western woman considering marrying a Muslim. Under Islamic law, a Muslim man is usually granted sole custody of his (weaned) children following divorce and a Western woman who is divorced from a Middle Eastern Muslim man stands a very high chance of never being allowed to see her children again. From the man's point of view, his child custody rights are guaranteed by God, and he would be devastated to lose his children. It was exactly this sort of situation which put Marianne in the position where she felt she had no choice but to abduct her children and try to escape back to the States. All marriages these days face a relatively high risk of divorce, but cross-cultural marriages bring added stress and tend to have even higher divorce rates than marriages within a culture. Thus, a Western woman who decides to marry a foreign Muslim man is entering into a situation where there is a 1 in 2 chance of divorce, and if divorce does happen, she has an extremely high chance of losing her children forever. And this is true no matter how happily the marriage starts off, as it happened in Marianne's case. Interestingly, a quick 2001 Web search for Marianne's children turned up a traveler's note stating that all 5 of her children decided to return to Saudi Arabia upon reaching adulthood

Dust jacket hand covered in protective archival grade Mylar for many worry free years of reading/collecting! Photos available upon request.A brilliantly conceived and vividly drawn story―Washington, D.C. on the eve of Abraham Lincoln's historic second inaugural address as the lens through which to understand all the complexities of the Civil WarBy March 4, 1865, the Civil War had slaughtered more than 700,000 Americans and left intractable wounds on the nation. After a morning of rain-drenched fury, tens of thousands crowded Washington's Capitol grounds that day to see Abraham Lincoln take the oath for a second term. As the sun emerged, Lincoln rose to give perhaps the greatest inaugural address in American history, stunning the nation by arguing, in a brief 701 words, that both sides had been wrong, and that the war's unimaginable horrors―every drop of blood spilled―might well have been God's just verdict on the national sin of slavery.Edward Achorn reveals the nation's capital on that momentous day―with its mud, sewage, and saloons, its prostitutes, spies, reporters, social-climbing spouses and power-hungry politicians―as a microcosm of all the opposing forces that had driven the country apart. A host of characters, unknown and famous, had converged on Washington―from grievously wounded Union colonel Selden Connor in a Washington hospital and the embarrassingly drunk new vice president, Andrew Johnson, to poet-journalist Walt Whitman; from soldiers' advocate Clara Barton and African American leader and Lincoln critic-turned-admirer Frederick Douglass (who called the speech "a sacred effort") to conflicted actor John Wilkes Booth―all swirling around the complex figure of Lincoln.In indelible scenes, Achorn vividly captures the frenzy in the nation's capital at this crucial moment in America's history and the tension-filled hope and despair afflicting the country as a whole, soon to be heightened by Lincoln's assassination. His story offers new understanding of our great national crisis and echoes down the decades to resonate in our own time.

Matthew FitzSimmons. Matthew FitzSimmons, an American boy from Illinois, grew up in London in the 1970s. For college, he attended Swarthmore College where he earned a B.A. in Psychology but lived largely in and for the theater. He absconded to China. There he wrote a first novel, played center back for a foreigner's soccer team, sparked a near riot and was forced to write a ziwo pipan (self-criticism) by the University of Nanjing—his first work of political fiction. He now lives in Washington, D.C., where he taught English literature and theater at a private high school for over a decade. This is his first published novel and inaugurated a series involving the character of Gibson Vaughn. The bestseller that People magazine called a live-wire debut. A decade ago, fourteen-year-old Suzanne Lombard, the daughter of Benjamin Lombard, then a senator, now a powerful vice president running for the presidency, disappeared in the most sensational missing-person case in the nation's history. Still unsolved, the mystery remains a national obsession. For legendary hacker and marine Gibson Vaughn, the case is personal, Suzanne Lombard had been like a sister to him. On the tenth anniversary of her disappearance, the former head of Benjamin Lombard's security asks for Gibson's help in a covert investigation of the case, with new evidence in hand. Haunted by tragic memories, he jumps at the chance to uncover what happened all those years ago. Using his military and technical prowess, he soon discovers multiple conspiracies surrounding the Lombard family, and he encounters powerful, ruthless political players who will do anything to silence him and his team. With new information surfacing that could threaten Lombard's bid for the presidency, Gibson must stay one step ahead as he navigates a dangerous web to get to the truth.
