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.

Oslo: Éditions Du Lic, , 2014. Rilegato (hardback). Ottimo (Fine). A cura di Alessandro Calabrese e Milo Montelli. 84 tavole a colori, di cui 2 in tavole ripiegate. 8vo (cm 26x21). pp. 106. Ottimo (Fine). Prima ed. di 500 esemplari firmati dai curatori (First Edition of 500 copies signed by the editors). Frutto di molti anni di lavoro, le fotografie raccolte in A Drop In the Ocean risalgono agli anni '70 e '80 e sono solo alcune delle molte migliaia scattate dal naturalista italiano Sergio Romagnoli durante la sua fin troppo breve vita. L'interesse primario per i curatori, Alessandro Calabrese e Milo Montelli, oltre al naturale fascino umano per una storia incredibile, risiede nella possibilità di interagire con un corpus di immagini rudimentali e prive di ogni pretesa artistica.Le immagini di Sergio si rivelano di una purezza tangibile; compagne confortanti durante le tante ore che i curatori trascorrono a sfogliare i suoi archivi, album fotografici ed ephemera. Apparentemente semplici ma altamente efficaci, le fotografie di Sergio dimostrano un'acuta sensibilità visiva, strettamente connessa alla realtà fattuale ma potentemente evocativa delle stesse esperienze dello spettatore; un'evocazione di viaggi, incontri e studi volti a scoprire, conoscere e comprendere. L'atto di vedere come denominatore comune.

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.

Engraved frontispiece + 24, [2], 20 pp. + 63 plates; engraved frontispiece + 20, [2], 17, [1 blank] pp. + 64 plates.Rare complete first edition, in the original German with a French translation, of a classic of zoological illustration, with 127 large plates showing wild and domestic quadrupeds (a few including two or more animals, sometimes from different species), by the south German painter, engraver, draughtsman and publisher Johann Elias Ridinger (1698-1767), born in Ulm and educated and working in Augsburg. His beautiful and by turns charming, grotesque or amusing animal plates in the present series are finely engraved and intended for colouring. The plates show the animals in characteristic poses, sometimes in motion, in (mostly natural) landscapes. A few show animals in captivity or otherwise reveal interactions between humans and animals. Among all Ridinger's works the plates of the present series are the most sought-after and are considered his finest work. Thienemann (1856) called the book "vollständig wohl nirgends mehr zu finden" and was unable to see 3 plates and Schwerdt (1928) knew only two complete copies: his own and that of Baron Rudolf Ritter von Gutmann (1880-1966) described by Schwarz (1910), with the 18th-century bookplate of Henricus Le Couvreur. There appears to be a complete copy at the Austrian National Library in Vienna.Ridinger set up his own art publishing house in 1723 and later brought his sons Martin Elias (1730-1780) and Johann Jakob (1736-1784) into the firm. Ridinger died in 1767 with the book still unfinished, but his sons continued the firm, completed the book, signed its texts and no doubt published it themselves. From the renowned hunting collection of Marcel Jeanson (1885-1942), with his bookplate and the manuscript item number 1622. With occasional minor foxing in the frontispieces and text leaves, but still in very good condition, most of the plates fine. The spine shows minor wear and the paper sides are scuffed, but the binding is still in good condition.l Jeanson 1622 (the present copy); Nissen, ZBI 3408; Schwerdt III, pp. 145-146; Thiébaud, col. 785 (citing Brunet); Thienemann, Johann Elias Ridinger 974-1102 (pp. 197-232, perversely numbering the plates 1-62, 69-133); Schwarz, Katalog einer Ridinger-Sammlung, I, pp. 125-140 (Gutmann copy); St. Morét, "Wer hat das Thierreich so in seines Pinsels Macht?", in: Die Tierdarstellungen von Johann I Elias Ridinger (exhib. cat.
