Includes Author Dedication; Acknowledgments; and Notes. Signed by Sean Spicer with thick black Sharpie/marker on a Sean Spicer "Leading America" bookplate which is affixed to the center of the blank first free front endpaper. "Sean has experienced firsthand what our movement and everyone in it faces from the Left and what they're willing to do to stop President Trump and our agenda. He lays out they've infiltrated every major institution - but HOW we can take them back. A must read." - Rush Limbaugh. "Leading America is a must read. Sean Spicer has seen firsthand how the left threatens our American values because of their stronghold on Hollywood, Big Tech, academia, and the media, and his book shows how President Trump will lead us through this battle victorious." - Rep. Steve Scalise. "Now more than ever we need President Trump leading America. This book makes the case. Read it and vote!" - Sarah Huckabee Sanders. "The Left has completely lost their minds. In Leading America, Sean lays out their strategy and shows us how to stop them." - David Webb. "The media has become puppets of the Left. Sean explains how what they're doing can damage the fabric of our country and why we must stop them." - Governor Mike Huckabee. "Former White House press secretary Sean Spicer is best known for his dynamic daily briefings, speaking on behalf of President Trump, pushing back on an onslaught of false accusations and misleading narratives. As a leading conservative voice, he continuously fights the liberal agenda and aggressively advocates for conservative principles and policies. In his second book, Spicer draws on his firsthand experiences to pull back the curtain on the tactics of the left within every major American institution, from the schoolhouse to the White House, from Big Tech to big government, from corporations to the media, and from the nation's capital to Hollywood. Spicer details his own Hollywood experience and goes behind the scenes of his experience as a contestant on season 28 of Dancing with the Stars. He won the hearts of voters who sent him all the way to the quarterfinal round - beating all odds. For the first time, Spicer details his time on the popular show. His surprise run on DWTS shows the power that voters have. In 2020, voters have another choice to make - this one for president. Spicer goes deep inside today's political landscape and policy debates, painting a vivid picture of what is at stake in the battle for the soul of our nation. Every vote matters!" - from the inner front jacket flap.

[Theodora Kroeber] [Alfred Louis Kroeber] [Signed] [First Edition] A Roster of Civilizations and Culture (family association copy) Kroeber, A.L. [Theodora Kroeber] [Alfred Louis Kroeber] 985.18 CAD A family association copy, inscribed by Alfred Kroeber's wife Theodora in the year of publication to her grandson: "For Slifton [sp?] and Stoobie, from Krakie, Aug '62." (Krakie her grandmother name; her maiden named was Kracaw, so perhaps slant of that.) With the subtitle "An Essay on the Natural History of the World's Cultures, Living and Extinct," this book represents Kroeber's late attempt to create a tentative taxonomy of culture around the globe. It ended up a posthumous publication--Alfred Kroeber died in 1960--so this copy is about as good as it gets, and it's an uncommon book in general. Alfred Louis Kroeber studied with Franz Boas before making his name at UC Berkeley where he became known as the "Dean of American Anthropologists." Theodora met him as doctoral student there and was herself an accomplished anthropologist, publishing later in life, among other books, The Inland Whale and Ishi in Two Worlds, which tells the story of the last Yahi man who Alfred befriend and studied after he was brought to Berkeley. Ursula LeGuin is their daughter. A slim, tall octavo in black cloth with gilt lettering on spine. Very good with bumping to a few corners and a touch of sunning to spine ends. In a good jacket with wear to spine including a diagonal inch of loss to spine tail.

London: Printed for John Stockdale, 1789. Octavo (9 13/16" x 6", 250mm x 153mm): A-Q8 [$4 signed; -A1]. 128 leaves, pp. i-iii (title, blank, preface) iv-xvi, 1 2-238, [2] (2pp. advertisements). [=xvi, 238, ii] With five engraved plates (sanguine). Bound in publisher's blue boards, rebacked to style, preserving the original spine label. Bottom and fore-edges untrimmed. Rebacked to style, with the original spine label laid down. Rubbing and soiling to the boards, and some loss to the front fore-corners (especially the lower). L2.3 unopened. A lovely copy, without foxing or toning. On Q8 (pp. 237/8), the blind armorial library stamp of Ri[chard] Grosvenor Bartelot FSA. Although the first pineapple was cultivated in the UK in the late seventeenth or likelier the early eighteenth century, a mania for them continued right through the Georgian period. Pineries, hothouses specifically for pineapples, became a grand statement of wealth and cultivation. The pineapple would come to be the table centerpiece par excellence, and pineapple finials on buildings became common in Britain; the pinnacles of the belltowers of St. Paul's Cathedral are golden pineapples. (Mrs Malaprop makes a very good pineapple-pinnacle swap.) John Abercrombie (1726-1806) established himself as the great Georgian gardening expert; with Thomas Mawe he wrote Every Man His Own Gardener (1767), an exceptionally popular manual. He was employed at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew. His fame brought him to the attention of Catherine the Great but he sent a book rather than going himself to oversee her hothouses. The Hot-House Gardener was an invaluable tool for the widespread establishment in England of artificial climates, whether full glass houses or merely walled gardens with elaborate networks of pipes to ripen fruit early and more reliably. The Reverend Richard Grosvenor Bartelot (1868-1947) was long vicar of Fordington St. George, Dorset (after serving at Shrewton and Corfe Castle). There he preached 4,000 sermons. Bartelot served as editor of the Somerset & Dorset Notes & Queries, and was a Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries. He descended from a long line of Bartelots (he re-antiquated his surname from Bartlett), and corresponded with Thomas Hardy (who was president of the Society of Dorset Men in London) on matters of local interest.

[Used - Near fine] [Hardcover] [Signed] [First Edition] Fin-de-Siecle Vienna: Politics and Culture Schorske, Carl E. [Used - Near fine] [Hardcover] 1235.18 CAD An important association copy of this Pulitzer Prize-winning contribution to European intellectual history, inscribed by Schorske to his editor, Robert Gottlieb. Carl Schorske (1915?2015) was a leading American scholar of German society. He was in the first group of MacArthur Fellows (the so-called "Genius" grants) and he won the Pulitzer Prize in nonfiction for this survey of Viennese culture at the turn of the 20th century. Gottlieb is best-known for editing Joseph Heller's Catch-22 when he was at Simon and Schuster; he spent most of his career at Knopf, perhaps the most prestigious literary publisher in the US, with a five-year stint as the editor of The New Yorker (which shared ownership with Knopf). In the acknowledgements for this book, Schorske writes, "And finally, for turning the last mile into an unexpected delight, my thanks to the many in the house of Knopf who have produced the book so understandingly?especially Robert Gottlieb." First edition (first printing). A near fine copy in a near fine dust jacket whose somewhat ridiculously delicate gold paper shows fingerprints. This copy is inscribed, "For Bob, with unspeakable quantities of gratitude and admiration and just plain affection. Carl." Books signed by Schorske are uncommon, but not nearly as scarce as Pulitzer Prize-winning books inscribed to their editors. Provenance: The private library of Robert Gottlieb (1931?2023), sold in part in 2024; supporting paperwork will be provided with the book.

Inscribed and signed in ink by pioneering American desert field archaeologist Richard Allen Gould (1939-2020) (as 'Dick Gould') on the title page. 'Dick's excavations at Puntutjarpa Rockshelter not only yielded significant evidence of Aboriginal lives in the Arid Zone, but was one of the early, substantive, well-documented archaeological assemblages lodged with the Western Australian Museum. Re-analysis of the faunal assemblage has proven valuable in reappraising desert lives and ecosystems and recent re-excavation and use of some of Gould's charcoal samples from the Western Australian Museum collections has changed the interpretations of the site' (Brown University website).

Essays in Honour of I M Lewis (Signed by Ioan M Lewis) [Signed] [First Edition] Peace and Milk, Drought and War. Somali Culture, Society and Politics. Essays in Honour of I M Lewis (Signed by Ioan M Lewis) 92.94 CAD First paperback edition. 21.5 × 14cm, 437pp. Signed and dedicated by Ioan (Lewis) to the half-title page. This volume offers a comprehensive overview of scholarship on Somalia and Somali land, one that transcends the usual boundaries and presents readers with a timely, incisive and compelling introduction to Somali culture, history and politics. Topics covered include: history, including the impact of the two colonial powers (Britain and Italy); the Somali poetic heritage and its relation to politics; the variations within Somali culture between northern/pastoral and southern/agro-pastoral populations; the question of the significance of clanship, including its relation to livestock trading networks, and the Somali 'total genealogy' and its origin; the political future since the breakdown of the centralised state; and, the role of the Somali Diaspora. There are chapters on the 'spirit possession cults', and on the Somali language, names and kinship terms. An introduction describes I.M. Lewis' career and discusses the legacy of over fifty years of his scholarship, assessing its impact on Somali society's view of itself and that of the wider academic and policy communities. Condition: This copy is in very good condition.
