Vienna, Austria: UNRWA, UNESCO Building. A left-stapled Newsweek-size magazine measuring 8-1/4" by 10-3/4" and containing 12 pages including front and rear covers. The issue contains news, articles and photographs on the present conditions of the Palestine refugee camps, UNRA's efforts to provide relief and outreach (with immediate goals of providing food, health services, education, training, and shelter for the refugees and long-term goals of assisting the refugees to become self-supporting), and personal stories and profiles of the refugees who live there. Contents include: cover photo of two of the poorest refugees (UNRWA has identified about 100,000); Impressions of School ("A 14-year-old girl has won an UNRWA-wide essay competition in Jordan. Her essay describes her years at school and the fears she had on her first day in class nine years ago"); Self-Support in Jordan ("Reports of success continue to come in about the self-support projects instituted by UNRWA in Jordan. Under the programme, refugees are given money or other assistance so that they can start a store, a business, or even buy some sheep, in order to become self-supporting"); Learning Skills Early ("UNRWA has introduced vocational training into its elementary schools in Jordan. Both boys and girls now learn such things as housekeeping skills and carpentry at an early age"); Lebanon Update ("Two years after the Israeli invasion of Lebanon, Palestine refugees living there still find themselves in a precarious situation"). .

No defects noted to this pictorial life of Abraham Lincoln. Interior text and illustration pages are flawless. Using photographs and his own drawings the author brings to life all the well-known episodes, and some less well- known, that occurred during the fifty-six years of Lincoln's life. The day he fell into Knob Creek and nearly drowned, his experience taking cargo down the Mississippi to New Orleans on a flat-boat, and the not-so-well-known plot to assassinate him as he and his party made their way to Washington for the First inauguration in 1961. With the most careful attention to detail, Lloyd Ostendorf recreates these and 150 other events. The brief text along with the illustrations tell the facts about each of the pictures. The authentic photographs, together with the action drawings, provide the young reader with a fascinating panorama in the life history of one of our greatest Americans. Ostendorf is a gifted artist and photographer who studied Lincoln for over 50 years. The list of historical societies to which he belongs goes on and on, as does the list of publications to which he has contributed. Since his early teens, he has been fascinated by Lincoln and he spent years collecting pictures of Lincoln and drawing his likeness for fun. There are more than 225 drawings and photographs picturing the life story of Lincoln in a time-line fashion year by year. In addition there is a map on the back cover called The Lincoln Heritage trail depicting 30 points of interest in the three states Illinois, Indiana and Kentucky. There is a two page essay regarding the similarities of Benito Juarez and Lincoln. The author includes a photographic list of the 38 Hispanic Congressional Medal of Honor recipients as of 1968 along with a one-page story of the American GI Forum. . . First Edition Stated.

Hardcover. 2004. 360 pages. <br> Here is the inside story: the history of the Rol ling Stones - according to the Rolling Stones themselves. Mick Ja gger, Keith Richards, Charlie Watts and Ronnie Wood have come tog ether for this remarkable book. They have also opened up their pe rsonal and band archives to include many rare and intimate photog raphs that are interwoven with their great stories of forty years making music together. According to the Rolling Stones gets righ t to the heart of what makes the Stones tick - as musicians, song writers, performers and colleagues. They describe how their music has evolved and how it has affected and changed their lives. The y also reveal, with refreshing frankness, how their own lives hav e in turn helped, or hindered, their music-making. Each Stone off ers his own take on those events and influences - views that are in turn insightful, funny, poignant, surprising and, above all, c ompletely authentic. They begin with their roots: their personal roots in the south of England and the musical roots in R&B that b rought them together as a band. From the first tiny club gigs whe re Mick only had enough room to shake and rattle to the huge stad iums with their groundbreaking sets, from starting out as a cover band to becoming the greatest rock 'n' roll band in the world, the Stones' is a journey that began with almost immediate success - and inevitable pressures. It's also a journey that only the St ones can truly tell. According to the Rolling Stones is filled wi th vivid recollections in visuals as well as words. It features h undreds of photographs, the vast majority of them previously unpu blished. Carefully selected images have been drawn from the Stone s' personal archives and the band's own central archive and from those principal photographers, such as David Bailey, Gered Mankow itz, Terry O'Neill, Mario Testino and Val Wilmer, who have record ed the band onstage, offstage and in the studio over four decades . Plus, Ronnie's paintings of his fellow band members decorate th e endpapers. Interspersed with the Stones' own memories are short reflections written by key participants in the Stones' story ove r the years. Such insiders as Atlantic Records boss Ahmet Ertegun , their business manager, Prince Rupert Loewenstein, and Sheryl C row, who has opened for many Stones' shows, offer a singular pers pective of the band. An invaluable who's who and reference sectio n covering the Rolling Stones' discography and chronology complet es this must-read volume. No other rock 'n' roll band has been wo rking, creating music and magic together, so continuously. Here, in their own words and images, is the life of a band who for the last forty years have been playing the soundtrack of our lives.-- BOOK JACKET Includes discography (pages 348-353) and index Pref ace / dora Lowenstein and Philip Dodd -- Chasing the signal / ess ay by Ahmet Ertegun -- A pebble in the pond / essay by Giorgio Go melsky -- Like lightening / essay by David Bailey -- Into the pre ssure cooker / essay by Rob Bowman -- Closing of the curtain / es say by Christopher Gibbs -- The first resurrection / essay by Mar shall Chess -- The new boy / essay by Prince Rupert Lowenstein -- Push and pull / essay by Peter Wolf -- Mid-life crisis / essay b y Edna Gundersen -- Some kind of miracle / essay by Don Was -- Ac quiring the patina / essay by Sheryl Crow -- Never stop growing / essay by Carl Hiaasen and essay by Tim Rice ., Orion Pub Co, 2004, 3, Shelburne, VT: The New England Press, 2000. xiv, 191 pages.

Many of his fans know about his 10,000-vinyl-record collection, and his obsession with running, but few have heard about a more intimate, and perhaps more unique, passion: his T-shirt-collecting habit.In Murakami T, the famously reclusive novelist shows us his T-shirts - including gems found in bookshops, charity shops and record stores - from those featuring whisky, animals, cars and superheroes, to souvenirs of marathons and a Beach Boys concert in Honolulu, to the shirt that inspired the beloved short story 'Tony Takitani'. Accompanied by short, frank essays that have been translated into English for the first time, these photographs reveal much about Murakami's multifaceted and wonderfully eccentric persona.

Photographs by Pablo Ortiz Monasterio. Poem by David Huerta. Excerpt of "Mexico: The Murder of The Young" by Alma Guillermoprieto. Since it is "must-reading", a pristine copy of the Essay in its entirety is enclosed. Printed, appropriately enough, on newsprint uncoated stock paper. In the artist's original brown paper bag, with "Desaparecidos?" faintly hand-written by him, itself vividly evoking disappearance. Without DJ, as issued. Presents Pablo Ortiz Monasterio's "Desaparecen?". A harrowing document and a poignant elegy of a quintessential tragedy. "For centuries, artists have drawn on social and political events for inspiration. Artists have created works that, taken directly from current controversial news, inform and move the viewer in ways that simple journalism or editorial commentary fall short. A piercing work of photographs and poetic words beautifully collaged to implant in our memory a horrific event: The mysterious disappearance of 43 poor activist students travelling by bus (which they commandeered) to Mexico City" (Publisher's blurb) . The Artist Book is "as modest as the students were poor: Staple-bound, on matte paper, mono-toned ink, priced to be accessible in Mexico. Unorthodox and essential: It begins and ends with a list of the boys' names and their youthful faces, as they appear on the 'have you seen' handouts distributed by their parents. In between, is the photographer's homage and reckoning" (Anne Wilckes Tucker) . An absolute "must-have" title for Pablo Ortiz Monasterio collectors. <b><i> This copy is very prominently, neatly, and beautifully signed in black pen on the first page by Pablo Ortiz Monasterio. It is signed directly on the page itself, not on a tipped-in page. It also comes in the artist's brown paper bag, which is entitled in metallic-silver pen marker by him: "Desaparecidos?". The latter, while quite visible, is beautifuly rendered as though it is disappearing before our eyes. This title is a contemporary photography classic. As far as we know, this is the only such titled and signed copy of the First Edition/First Printing available online and, as produced, is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright.

It portrays the war of attrition between the city's hardened police force, and its drug dealers, and the blurring of good and evil, justice and injustice, right and wrong. Over its five series it has built up a detailed, rich and layered portrait of Baltimore: from its corner boys touting dope and its dock workers facing extinction, through the strained education system and tainted halls of power, to the crumbling media establishment. Rafael Alvarez - a reporter, essayist and staff writer for the show - brings the reader inside this world, detailing many of the real-life incidents and personalities that have inspired the show's storylines and characters. Packed with photographs and featuring an introduction by series creator and executive producer David Simon, as well as essays by acclaimed authors George Pelecanos, Nick Hornby, Laura Lipmann, and William F. Zorzi, it covers all five series in glorious detail. The Wire' is told from the point of view of both the police and their targets. The first season focused primarily on the investigation of the Barkdale drug dealing crew, while the second season examined the issues confronting the Baltimore waterfront and its unions, along with the continuation of the Barksdale storyline. The book examines the themes and story lines of the first two seasons, as well as looking ahead to the show's direction for the third and future seasons, interspersing the stories of the real life people upon whom the show's characters are based. ., Edinburgh: Canongate, 2009 9781847675989, 0, Aperture, 1990-07-01. 1st.
