Light toning, else content appears as new, unread, unopened and unblemished with fine wraps displaying no significant surface/edge wear, as shown. The Naked Society, just like The Privacy Invaders which will come out two weeks later, is concerned with all the peeping tomfoolery which is going on today and the various ways in which we are exposed and thereby victimized. There is no question, in making a choice between the two books, that Vance Packard has not only otten there first but with the most. His coverage is broader based; he manages just the right note of indignation in the interests of informing in an area which as had limited spadework elsewhere (i.e. Martin Gross- The Brain Watchers, one phase). And while Packard has never been much more than a lick and a promise sociologist, he does take a few potshots at what makes all this possible (closeness of Giving; affluence; etc.). The book is primarily a rundown on the degrading procedures to which the job candidate is… Leer más

Slight bump at head/heel of spine.Feminism has restored the bloom to Nancy Langhorne Astor, the Virginia-born m'lady who was Britain's first woman M.P. (1919); later, chatelaine of the allegedly pro-Nazi "Cliveden Set"; later still, a notorious termagant, Grigg's brief, pictorial biography devolves from a BBC documentary, recently purchased for US showing (probably in 1983); a mid-length pop bio, by Anthony Masters, is reviewed below. Neither approaches Christopher Sykes' 1972 Nancy in scope, depth, or detail, and neither has the flair of Ruth Brandon's portrait of Nancy Astor in The Dollar Princesses (1980). But Grigg's volume is not without its attractions, some of which reflect its origin. The text is terse, threaded with eye-witness quotes, and studded with photos. Here is Nancy the vibrant young huntress; the lady of fashion (and… Leer más

Brain Droppings spent a total of 40 weeks on the New York Times bestseller list, and this new one is certain to tickle even more ribs (and rattle a few more cages) with its characteristically ironic take on life's annoying universal truths.In Napalm & Silly Putty, Carlin doesn't steer clear of the tough issues, preferring instead to look life boldly in the eye to pose the questions few dare to ask:How can it be a spy satellite if they announce on TV that it's a spy satellite?Why do they bother saying "raw… Leer más

Kirkus Review: The Confederate cavalry commander, as conspicuous for his racism as for his military prowess, receives a biography that emphasizes his reprehensible exploits as slave trader and founding father of the Ku Klux Klan. Robert E. Lee supposedly called Forrest ``the most extraordinary man the Civil War produced.'' But Chicago Tribune newsman Hurst offers the first recent portrait that pays as much attention to Forrest's distasteful activities before and after the war as to his undeniable martial genius. Better written than Brian Steel Wills's A Battle from the Start (1992), this new book spends less time on Forrest's extraordinary career as a soldier—he was the only man on either side who went from private to lieutenant general—and gives equal weight to his rise from raw frontier poverty to… Leer más

A Collage of images hints at the diversity and richness of Australia's coastal regions. Author Ron Fisher calla trap about the country's coast "a ride on a splendid carousel"—a journey that takes a reader from the steamy tropics of the north to the chill fogs of the south, past white-sand beaches thronged with vacationers or through remote and lonely bush, to small towns and modern cities top-heavy with skyscrapers. Sam Abell's photographs bring to life both the rugged beauty and the subtle elegance of the Australian landscape.
