The novel features the character Harry Morgan, who lives in Key West- "that paradise of the 'haves' and the purgatory of the 'have-nots.'" Morgan, a sea captain and honest man, is forced to run commercial and sometimes human contraband between Florida and Cuba. To Have and Have Not was made into a film in 1944, directed by Howard Hawks and starring Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall (interestingly, William Faulkner worked on the screenplay, making To Have and Have Not the only film to have been collaborated on by two winners of the Nobel Prize for Literature)..

London: Bloomsbury, 1999 First edition, first printing, second state with "J.K. Rowling" on copyright page instead of "Joanne Rowling." Publisher's red and purple pictorial paper-covered boards, with an illustration of Harry and Hermione riding Buckbeak, lettered in orange and green; in its matching dust jacket. Near fine book, with light soiling to rear board, a small nick to bottom edge of front board, and light spotting to top edge; near fine unclipped dust jacket, with some creasing to spine ends, and light staining and abrasion to jacket verso. Overall, a vibrant copy. Errington A7(aa). A pivotal novel in the series, The Prisoner of Azkaban was published before the series reached the level of popularity and cult following that it has today, but still managed to reach critical acclaim. In his third year at Hogwarts, Harry Potter and his friends search for the villainous outlaw Sirius Black after his escape from the wizard prison Azkaban. Unlike the first two books in the series, The Prisoner of Azkaban does not end with a cut-and-dry triumph over evil, but rather begins to pose the question of how media portals and popular perception affect whether someone is considered good or bad- a notion that will reoccur and becoming increasingly central to the story line as the series progresses..

Ken Sanders Rare Books, ABAA (United States)
Description
Ephemera. Four pages of genealogy on two loose leaves [6 1/2 x 10 1/4"] which appear to have come from a family Bible. The pages are divided into columns with the following headings: Births; Deaths; Marriages. One page lists the births of Joseph A. Young's parents (Brigham Young and Mary Ann Angell). On the reverse, the marriages of Joseph A. Young and his family members are listed. The second page lists the children of Joseph A. Young and Mary Ann Ayres in the "Births" column. The days of the week, along with "G S L City," are listed next to their names and the dates of their births (often with the exact time listed as well). On the verso of this page, the "Deaths" of their children are listed (Mary Thornton Young, Elsie Vilate, Josephine Young, Alice Young, and others). Joseph Angell Young (1834-1875) was Brigham Young's eldest son. He was born October 14, 1834 in Kirtland, Ohio. He came to Utah in an early day and actively participated in the affairs of the new settlement as a frontiersman. He also played an important role in emigration affairs, and he is known for enduring bitter storms and biting frosts during one of the harshest winters in order to successfully rescue the belated hand-cart companies of that season. In addition, he built and was the first superintendent of the Ogden-Salt Lake line (the old Utah Central), and was among the promoters of the Utah Southern. In 1872, Young was appointed to preside over the Sevier district of the Church, spanning from Gunnison to Kanab. Two years later, the settlements on the Sevier were organized as the Sevier Stake of Zion, and Elder Young was appointed to preside over this Stake. He held this position until his death, taking a significantly active part that tended to build up and strengthen the new settlements, as well as introducing the United Order to the Saints on the Sevier. In Latter-day Saint Biographical Encyclopedia Volume I, Andrew Jenson cites a passage published by Deseret News following Young's death: "Elder Young was esteemed for his many estimable qualities of heart as well as head. He was a man of naturally keen intelligence, his mental qualities even reaching what might be termed brilliancy in some directions, while his generosity was proverbial, especially among the working classes, all who were ever in his employ holding him in esteem for his universally kind and fair treatment." Andrew Jenson also points out, that "On account of the persecutions of the 'Mormon' people, he [Joseph A. Young] was deprived of the advantage of an early education, but was a discriminating and passionate reader, and at the time of his death had, perhaps, the finest private library in the Territory." Two leaves from a Family Record which contain the genealogy of an important family, descending from Brigham Young, and significant to the history of Utah and the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. - Information obtained from "Latter-day Saint Biographical Encyclopedia, Volume I," by Andrew Jenson.

Stationary; 11 x 8 1/2; single sheet, illustrated with vignettes of the Ethnology, Horticultural, Agricultural, and Machinery & Transportation buildings, and of the Electric Tower; very minor wear - in near fine condition. A beautiful Pan-American Exposition memento, it was published in connection with that World's Fair, which was held from May 1 through November 2 of 1901 in Buffalo, New York. Although noted for its numerous technological and art exhibits, the fair would be best remembered as the location, where President William McKinley was assasinated on September 6. Ironically, the newly-developed X-ray machine first shown at that exhibition, though suggested - would not be used on the president by the doctors in search of the bullets, as they were unfamiliar with it and feared side effects. He would die 8 days later from gangrene, caused by the bullet wounds.

White pictorial over boards with spine lettered in black. Pages are clean and unmarked. Binding is firm and sound. ABOUT THIS BOOK: A radical reappraisal of Charles Darwin from the bestselling author of Victoria: A Life. With the publication of On the Origin of Species, Charles Darwin-hailed as the man who "discovered evolution"-was propelled into the pantheon of great scientific thinkers, alongside Galileo, Copernicus, and Newton. Eminent writer A. N. Wilson challenges this long-held assumption. Contextualizing Darwin and his ideas, he offers a groundbreaking critical look at this revered figure in modern science. In this beautifully written, deeply erudite portrait, Wilson argues that Darwin was not an original scientific thinker, but a ruthless and determined self-promoter who did not credit the many great sages whose ideas he advanced in his book. Furthermore, Wilson contends that religion and Darwinism have much more in common than it would seem, for the acceptance of Darwin's theory involves a pretty significant leap of faith. Armed with an extraordinary breadth of knowledge, Wilson explores how Darwin and his theory were very much a product of their place and time. The "Survival of the Fittest" was really the Survival of Middle Class families like the Darwins-members of a relatively new economic strata who benefited from the rising Industrial Revolution at the expense of the working classes. Following Darwin's theory, the wretched state of the poor was an outcome of nature, not the greed and neglect of the moneyed classes. In a paradigm-shifting conclusion, Wilson suggests that it remains to be seen, as this class dies out, whether the Darwinian idea will survive, or whether it, like other Victorian fads, will become a footnote in our intellectual history. Brilliant, daring, and ambitious, Charles Darwin explores this legendary man as never before, and challenges us to reconsider our understanding of both Darwin and modern science itself. (Publisher).

ABOUT THIS BOOK: A brilliant, multigenerational saga in the tradition of The Thorn Birds and North and South, New York Times bestselling historical novelist Lauren Willig delivers her biggest, boldest, and most ambitious novel yet-a sweeping Victorian epic of lost love, lies, jealousy, and rebellion set in colonial Barbados. Barbados, 1854: Emily Dawson has always been the poor cousin in a prosperous English merchant clan-- merely a vicar's daughter, and a reform-minded vicar's daughter, at that. Everyone knows that the family's lucrative shipping business will go to her cousin, Adam, one day. But when her grandfather dies, Emily receives an unexpected inheritance: Peverills, a sugar plantation in Barbados-a plantation her grandfather never told anyone he owned. When Emily accompanies her cousin and his new wife to Barbados, she finds Peverills a burnt-out shell, reduced to ruins in 1816, when a rising of enslaved people sent the island up in flames. Rumors swirl around the derelict plantation; people whisper of ghosts. Why would her practical-minded grandfather leave her a property in ruins? Why are the neighboring plantation owners, the Davenants, so eager to acquire Peverills? The answer lies in the past- a tangled history of lies, greed, clandestine love, heartbreaking betrayal, and a bold bid for freedom. THE SUMMER COUNTRY will beguile readers with its rendering of families, heartbreak, and the endurance of hope against all odds. (Publisher).
