There's just one thing th ey don't know about John Murdoch: he's their only hope. It's like no place you've ever been before. Where time stops and starts again. Where lies are the truths, truths are lies, and even memory is a hoax. And in this place where light has vanished and strangers rule, a man named Murdoch is accused of murder and labeled insane. But Murdoch is the only one who can stop the evil that has taken over -- as long as he can stay alive.

Abe, Masao Zen and the Modern World: A Third Sequel to Zen and Western Thought
Honolulu University of Hawaii Press September 1, 20 0-8248-2665-5 1st Edition Hardcover VF/VF
A highly collectible first edition/printing, tight clean copy protected in a new brodart wrapper, no inscriptions, unclipped dustjacket, this is not a n Ex-Lib or a BCE/BOMC edition. Written by one of Japan's foremost contemporary thinkers and scholars, Zen and Modern Society is the third in a series of essay collections on Zen Bud dhism as seen in the context of Western thought. Throughout his career, Mas ao Abe has articulated the meaning of Zen thought in a uniquely compelling way--at once, true to the original tradition and appropriately relevant to a variety of comparative standpoints, ranging from Biblical Judeo-Christian ity to modern existentialism, phenomenology, and postmodernism. As a leadin g representative of the Kyoto School, which has sought a critical, comparat ive linking of Eastern and Western thought, Abe has based his approach on c onstructive, mutually respectful yet critical intellectual interaction and dialogue with some of the leading figures in the West (including Paul Tilli ch, Hans Kung, and Eugene Borowitz) as well as dozens of colleagues, studen ts, and disciples. Together with the previous volumes, this work examines and exemplifies some key features of Kyoto School thought. While the essays presented here should be read in light of the socio-political criticism that has since been lodged against the Kyoto School and, more particularly, its founder Nishida Kitaro, most of them were written prior to the recent discussions and focus on issues of comparative philosophy and religious thought outside the contours of the debate. This should not, however, limit their approach to the earlier historical cont

Achebe, Chinua Things Fall Apart: A Novel
New York Anchor September 1994 0-385-47454-7 Paperback Very Good
One of Chinua Achebe's many achievements in his acclaimed first novel, Thin gs Fall Apart, is his relentlessly unsentimental rendering of Nigerian trib al life before and after the coming of colonialism. First published in 1958 , just two years before Nigeria declared independence from Great Britain, t he book eschews the obvious temptation of depicting pre-colonial life as a kind of Eden. Instead, Achebe sketches a world in which violence, war, and suffering exist, but are balanced by a strong sense of tradition, ritual, a nd social coherence. His Ibo protagonist, Okonkwo, is a self-made man. The son of a charming ne'er-do-well, he has worked all his life to overcome his father's weakness and has arrived, finally, at great prosperity and even g reater reputation among his fellows in the village of Umuofia. Okonkwo is a champion wrestler, a prosperous farmer, husband to three wives and father to several children. He is also a man who exhibits flaws well-known in Gree k tragedy: Okonkwo ruled his household with a heavy hand. His wives, espec ially the youngest, lived in perpetual fear of his fiery temper, and so did his little children. Perhaps down in his heart Okonkwo was not a cruel man . But his whole life was dominated by fear, the fear of failure and of weak ness. It was deeper and more intimate than the fear of evil and capricious gods and of magic, the fear of the forest, and of the forces of nature, mal evolent, red in tooth and claw. Okonkwo's fear was greater than these. It w as not external but lay deep within himself. It was the fear of himself, le st he should be found to resemble his father. And yet Achebe manages to ma

Ackerman, Diane A Natural History Of Love
Vintage February 21, 19 0-679-76183-7 Paperback Very Good+
Following up her well-received A Natural History of the Senses , poet and j ournalist Ackerman less successfully attempts to limn the complex emotion o f love for the general reader. Her perspective is both long--beginning with the first writings about love from ancient Egypt and Greece--and wide, enc ompassing love of pets, religious fervor and altruism, along with her princ iple focus on romantic love. Ackerman's impassioned prose occasionally take s on a purple cast ("Love feeds a million watchfires in the encampment of t he body," she observes in a discussion of how love is often felt as a burni ng), but seems well suited to both the topic and her often personalized app roach. Chronicling the changing views of love through mostly Western histor y from Roman times through the Middle Ages and the era of Romanticism to th e present, she cites the writings of Plato, Proust and Freud, among others. Delving into anthropology, psychology and neurology, as well as literature , she considers the social and evolutionary roles of love, marraige rituals and such love objects as horses and cars. Ackerman's overview is more sele ctive than comprehensive, but that very idiosyncracy may add to the popular appeal of the volume, sections of which have previously appeared in Parade and the New York Times Magazine.

Ackroyd, Peter Dickens
Stewart House Publishing, In 1991 0-7493-0647-5 Paperback Very Good+
A tight clean copy, no markings throughout. Ackroyd ( The Last Testament of Oscar Wilde ) is a master biographer with a seductive prose style, and this massive volume is likely to stand as the Dickens biography for decades to come. Ackroyd moves around with authority in the world of the ebullient, ambitious, insecure, haunted, theatrical genius, which is also the world of early and mid-Victorian England assimilated and transformed to a stupefying degree. We read about Dickens's penurious and painful childhood; the triumphant reception of his first novel, The Pickwick Papers ; the prodigious flow of subsequent novels which, though increasingly somber in tone, continued to reflect a mind whose primary reaction to experience was anarchic laughter; the two trips to America, for the most part wildly successful; the scandal surrounding Dickens's desertion of his wife. And Ackroyd pinpoints Dickens's two great innovations: he was the first to introduce the language of the romantic poets into the novel; and his dramatic public readings from his novels constituted a new art form.

Adams, Gerry A Farther Shore: Ireland's Long Road to Peace
New York Random House November 4, 200 0-375-50815-5 1st Edition Hardcover Fine/Near Fine
A tight clean copy, protected in a new brodart wrapper. Born in Belfast in 1948, Adams has spent his entire life in the nationalist movement and immediately states that he was never a member of the IRA; he similarly denies that Sinn Fein is "the political wing of the IRA." Northern Ireland politics is always a complicated array of facts and contradictions, but Adams has done a workmanlike job of defining events and personalities. He puts the 1988 Gibraltar assassinations of three IRA members squarely at the feet of Margaret Thatcher. And while he excoriates Thatcher and her ilk, he embraces Nelson Mandela ("the greatest political leader of our time"), Steve Bilko, Bishop Desmond Tutu, Rosa Parks and Ho Chi Minh as mentors and heroes. The Good Friday Agreement is at the book's heart. There are many heroes, including Nobel laureate John Hume, Irish Prime Ministers Albert Reynolds and Bertie Ahern, Tony Blair and, most prominently, Bill Clinton. Adams shows how he and his cohorts reached across the Atlantic for help and support. It was Clinton's unilateral 1994 act granting Adams a visa to enter the U.S. that started the peace process rolling. Adams takes us step-by-step through the tense negotiations, which culminated in the signing of the Good Friday Agreement in 1998. Adams's eighth book is suspenseful, biased, subversive, blunt and often funny. Edifying for both the neophyte and the veteran observer, it will open eyes as to how this master politician thinks and operates.
