Jill Ker Conway

238 pages. 

In a memoir, Jill Ker Conway tells the story of her astonishing journey into adulthood.

She was seven before she ever saw another girl child. At eight, she rode horses across Coorain, on her parents' 30,000 windswept, drought-haunted acres in the Australian outback, doing a "man's job" herding sheep because World War II had taken away the able-bodied men. She adored (her large-visioned father and her strong, radiant mother, who had gone willingly with him into a pioneering life of loneliness and bone-breaking toil. After her father dies Jill trys to be mother to her mother and resenting it, escaping into drink, pulling herself back, striking a balance. We see her slowly gaining strength, coming into her own emotionally and intellectually and beginning the joyous love affair that gave wings to her newfound self.

Worlds away from Coorain, in America, Jill Conway became a historian and the first woman president of Smith College. Her story startles by its passion and evocative power, by its understanding of the ways in which a total, deep-rooted commitment to place—or to a dream—can at once liberate and imprison. It is a story of childhood as both Eden and anguish, and of growing up as a journey toward the difficult life of the free.

A Woman's Exquisitely Clear-Sighted Memoir of Growing up Australian

A woman of intellect and ambition describes growing up on an Australian ranch, coping with her father's death and her mother's depression, her intellectual awakening at the university, and her path to becoming Smith College's first woman president

Desire: Erotic Poetry Through the Ages

Steven Jenkins

Steven Jenkins is our foremost cheese authority--in the words of The New York Times, "a Broadway impresario whose hit is food." Now, after years of importing cheeses, scouring the cheese-producing areas of the world, and setting up cheese counters at gourmet food shops, he's decided to write it all down. Full of passion, knowledge, and an expert's considered opinions the cheese primer tells you everything you need to know about the hundreds of cheeses that have, in the last few years, become available in this country. Region-by-region, he covers all the major cheeses from France, Italy, Switzerland--the top tier of cheese-producing countries--plus the best of Britain, Ireland, Spain, the United States, Austria, Germany, and other countries. Along the way he tells how to pick out a healthy Pont l'Eveque; why to reconsider the noble Fontina for more than just cooking; how to avoid those factory-made chevres; why to seek out the sublime Vacherin Mont d'Or; and how to start exploring--Bleu de Bresse, Cabrales, Crottin de Chavignol, and so on. A complete primer, it includes information on the best ways to store and serve cheese, including which wines to serve alongside them; how to orchestrate a proper cheese course; and the unimportable cheeses to look up when abroad.

'Earthing' introduces readers to the landmark discovery that living in contact with the Earth's natural surface charge - being grounded - naturally discharges and prevents chronic inflammation in the body. This effect has massive health implications because of the well-established link between chronic inflammation and all chronic diseases, including the diseases of aging and the aging process itself.

This is a landmark 1980 bestseller, Richard Nixon presents an effective analysis of strategic shortcomings and a prescription for renewed strength.

It covers Nixion's  years in office from 1969-1974, and his battles with the press, the Congress, and the American people.

Nixon’s tough-minded views discussed in this book became a blueprint for Ronald Reagan’s military buildup and strategic initiatives—which ultimately paved the way for the end of the Cold War.

Highly relevant to contemporary times, Nixon argues persuasively that America must assume a role of global leadership to make sure the war of annihilation never happens. The economic, material, and technological capacities to prevail are not enough, he cautions, without the resolve of national will.

The Real War

Vintage 1950 Simon and Schuster, with insert. 314 pages.

The book is a sequel to Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House! The movie had Cary Grant, Melvyn Douglas and Myrna Loy. This book is better.

 It is a genuine work of social satire, brilliantly deft and witty. But please keep this to yourself, because a lot of people without your discernment are also going to read Blandings' Way and laugh their fool head off just because it is so warmly funny. In this book Mr. Blandings emerges from the status of a man who built his house and becomes a permanent, full-scale addition to American folklore. 

Book is in good condition considering age. A small scrape on front cover's edge. Missing dust jacket.
