Ships in 10 - 20 working days

Comedy starring Steve Martin, Jack Black and Owen Wilson as three
men in different stages of life competing to become champion
birdwatchers. Stu (Martin) is a successful business executive on
the brink of retirement. Brad (Black), the youngest of the three,
works as a computer programmer but lacks direction and focus in his
life. Meanwhile, the obsessive and unscrupulous Kenny (Wilson) will
stop at nothing to hold onto his title of World's Greatest Birder.
As they travel the length and breadth of North America as
participants of the 'Big Year' competition, in which birders
compete to spot the greatest number of bird species in the United
States over the course of one year, the three men discover as much
about themselves and each other as they do about America's bird
population.

sons who are, leta s face it, middle-aged, though youa d never know
it. So now he is getting on a bit. His employment record suggests
restlessness: the Treasury, Foreign Office, UN, Radio Liberty,
Harvard, Michigan and Kyoto, among others. In fact, he fitted in
about thirty yearsa work at Birmingham University a " enough to
make anyone restless. Expelled from Moscow in 1971, he persisted in
studying the Russian economy; eventually the Soviets let him back
in. His memoir is a record of people, places, events and ideas. It
even contains bits on cricket and jazz.

'Brilliantly gripping' Sunday Times; 'Compelling' Daily Mail;
'Heart-rending' Sunday Telegraph; 'Excellent' The Times;
'Engrossing' Independent The UK's only war crimes trial took place
in 1999 and had its origins in the horrors of the Holocaust, but
only now in The Ticket Collector from Belarus can the full story be
told. The Ticket Collector from Belarus tells the remarkable story
of two interwoven journeys. Ben-Zion Blustein and Andrei Sawoniuk
were childhood friends in 1930s Domachevo, a holiday and health
resort in what is now Belarus. During the events that followed the
Nazi invasion in 1941, they became the bitterest of enemies. After
the war, Ben-Zion made his way to Israel, and 'Andrusha the
bastard' to England, where he found work as a British Rail ticket
collector in London. They next confronted each other in the Old
Bailey, over half a century later, where one was the principal
prosecution witness, and the other charged with a fraction of the
number of murders he was alleged to have committed. There was no
physical evidence, just one man's word against another, leaving the
jury with a series of agonising dilemmas: Could any witness
statement be trusted so long after the event? Was Andrusha a brutal
killer, a hapless pawn or a scapegoat? And were his furious
protests a sign of guilt or the justified anger of an innocent old
man? Mike Anderson was gripped by the story, and so began his quest
to find the truth about this astonishing case and the people at its
heart. As he discovered, it was even more remarkable than he could
ever have imagined.
Frank Frazetta has reigned as the undisputed lord of fantasy art
for 50 years, his fame only growing in the 12 years since his
death. With his paintings now breaking auction records (Egyptian
Queen sold for $ 5.4 million in 2019) he's long overdue for this
ultimate monograph. Born to a Sicilian immigrant family in
Brooklyn, 1928, Frazetta was a minor league athlete, petty criminal
and serial seducer with movie star looks and phenomenal talent. He
claimed to only make art when there was nothing better to do - he
preferred playing baseball - yet began his professional career in
comics at age 16. Strip work led him to the infamous EC Comics,
then to oils for Tarzan and Conan pulp covers. Both characters were
interpreted by many before him, but as he explained in the 1970s,
"I'm very physical minded. In Brooklyn, I knew Conan, I knew guys
just like him," and he used this first-hand knowledge of muscle and
macho to redefine fantasy heroes as more massive, more menacing,
more testosterone-fueled than anything seen before. As
counterbalance he created a new breed of women, nude as censorship
allowed, with pixie faces and multiparous bodies: thick thighed,
heavy buttocked, breasts cantilevered out to there, yet still, with
their soft bellies and hints of cellulite, believably real. Add in
the action, the creatures, the twilit worlds of haunting shadow and
Frazetta's art is addictive as potato chips. This monograph is the
biggest and most complete ever produced on the artist, done in
collaboration with the Frazetta family and with top collectors.
From TikTok phenomenon Whitney Hanson, a brand-new collection of
poems exploring the progression of a life through the elements of
music In this collection of all new poems, Whitney Hanson explores
the progression of a life through the lens of music. We each begin
with a simple note, but as life progresses, we're led to the next
note, and the next - all of which combine to form the melody of a
song and the cadence of a life. As life becomes more complicated
and complex, we find that loss, grief, and heartache can muffle our
music, making the world go silent. But as Whitney's poems show, all
of these rests and pauses in the music are part of the magnificent
composition of life. Broken into four sections - melody, rest,
crescendo, and harmony - the poems in Harmony explore childhood,
friendship, grief, acceptance, and peace. The result is a
collection that emphasizes the beauty of living a life at peace
with all its musical variations.

"The history of water development . . . offers a particularly fine
post for observing the astonishing and implausible workings of
historical change and, in response, for cultivating an appropriate
level of humility and modesty in our anticipations of our own
unknowable future."
Tracing the origins and growth of the Denver Water Department, this
study of water and its unique role and history in the West, as well
as in the nation, raises questions about the complex relationship
among cities, suburbs, and rural areas, allowing us to consider
this precious resource and its past, present, and future with both
optimism and realism.

In 1953 Marlon Brando donned a black leather Perfecto motorcycle
jacket, military cap, denim jeans, and engineer boots to portray
Johnny, sneering leader of the Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, in The
Wild One. In 1954 Tom of Finland abandoned brown leather in his
artwork to create his own wild ones: muscular, hyper-masculine,
black leather-clad rebels with powerful engines between their legs.
The look was adopted by the Satyrs Motorcycle Club, the first gay
outlaw club, that same year, making Tom's fantasy world reality. Of
course, being Tom, he soon customized his new gay icons, adding
leather jodhpurs, knee high boots and leather caps, and every
motorcycle bore the brand name "Tom" on the gas tank. Tom's bikers
first appeared as two "Motorcycle Boys" in Physique Pictorial,
Winter 1958. Another made the cover of the April 1960 issue. Bikers
dominated his PP content from then on, as a nod to its American
readership as much as his growing obsession. When he sought an
ongoing character, a personal avatar, in 1968, he created Kake as
the ultimate biker leatherman, and elaborated on his riding
adventures - of every kind - through 26-panel stories. Tom adopted
Kake's gear as his own, presenting in black leather jacket, white
t-shirt, jeans, and high boots to the end of his life. The Little
Book of Tom: Bikers includes Tom's earliest images for Physique
Pictorial, Kake in motorcycle gear, biker panel stories, and
sizzling single drawings, all packed into 192 pages of sexy,
masculine men enjoying other masculine men in black leather, blue
jeans, and high black boots. On bikes.
"Sirs" begins the missive from our imaginary correspondent. "It's
not that I don't love your original Big Penis Book, but that,
perhaps, I love it too much. I now become anxious leaving the house
without it, and long business trips are simply torture. Couldn't
you make a smaller, less obtrusive edition, still packed with men
whose generative members measure over 8 inches, that doesn't form a
suspiciously large bulge in my carry-on luggage? And while you're
at it, could you make it highly affordable, since my pockets are as
shallow as this premise?" Done! The Little Big Penis Book features
over 150 massively endowed models from the 1940s through the '90s,
including photos by Bob Mizer of AMG, David Hurles of Old Reliable,
Rip Colt of Colt Studio, Craig Calvin Anderson of Sierra Domino,
Hal Roth of Filmco, Jim Jaeger of Third World Studios, Falcon
Studios, Mike Arlen, Fred Bisonnes, Carlos Quiroz, and Charles
Hovland in a compact and inexpensive format. Photos come not just
from the original overstuffed 384-page edition, but from subsequent
Big Penis Calendars, meaning that 30% of the content is unique to
this edition. Add a reduced text to make more room for the stunning
black-and-white and color photos and how could anyone-big, small,
or just right-ask for a better deal?
CE Marking, the European system of mandatory product safety
standards, has created major obstacles for US exporters to the
European Union (EU). CE Marking, Product Standards and World Trade
is one of the first books to analyze the nature and dynamics of
this major non-tariff trade barrier. David Hanson looks at the
patterns of EU decision-making through a functional comparative
analysis with the US, and in the context of the institutional
alliances and rivalries that shape outcomes. An increasingly
important but little understood issue, CE Marking is also an
example of a growing problem in international commerce - the impact
of inconsistent domestic product requirements on international
trade. The author examines the way in which the EU has implemented
the CE Marking system, its impact on US exporters, the dynamic of
US - EU trade and negotiations, and the political and
administrative arrangements that support them. This comprehensive
study will be of great interest to students and scholars of
industrial economics and international business. Business people
and policymakers will also find much of interest in this timely
volume.
From the time The Big Penis Book was published, readers anticipated
The Big Book of Pussy. Granted, perhaps not the same readers, but
the seed had been planted and the calls and letters began flowing
in. Once they had that long-awaited book, some found themselves
overwhelmed by the variety and abundance, as well as the sheer size
of the book. As one reviewer wrote, "let's give credit to Amazon
for...the strength of its packaging. Who wants a 2-ton pussy book
being 'exposed' for the mailman...?" For those who worry that there
can be too much of a good thing, we've made a pared down, "best of"
edition of The Big Book of Pussy, a petite little kitten of a book
that puts those in-your-face photos in proper perspective. Now you
can follow the evolution of genital exposure with ease, through 100
years of photos with one thing in common: the exhibitionistic
pleasure with which the models present their feminine pulchritude.
And with over 150 photos-36 new to this book-of the pet we love to
pet, no bothersome text to interrupt the flow, all in a package
that won't stress the mailman's back, we just may have produced the
perfect self-gifter of the year.

In the follow-up to the visionary Hospital, Yang Wei discovers that
there’s more to the mysterious hospital than meets the eye—and
none of it is as it seems. Yang Wei wakes to find himself still a
patient at the hospital. Somehow, he’s aged decades overnight and
is confined to the geriatric ward on a massive Hospital ship as it
floats along a bloodred sea full of unsightly things. But human
remains and sea nymphs are perhaps nothing compared to the
goings-on belowdecks. The doctors are nowhere to be found, replaced
by a procession of medical robots from whom, of course, no
information can be gleaned. So Yang Wei, along with a small group
of patients—all just as aged as he is—venture out to explore
the uncharted depths of the ship and the answers that are surely
hidden within. As they delve deeper into both the ship and why
they’re on it, every uncovered secret comes with its own
questions. The only thing Yang Wei can be sure of is that the more
he learns, the less he understands…and the less he truly wants to
know.

Early American Children’s Clothing and Textiles: Clothing a Child
1600 to 1800 explores the life experiences of Indigenous,
Anglo-European, African, and mixed-race children in colonial
America, their connections to textile production, the process of
textile production, the textiles created, and the clothing they
wore. The book examines the communities and social structure of
early America, the progression of the colonial textile industry,
and the politics surrounding textile production beginning in the
1600's, with particular focus on the tasks children were given in
the development of the American textile industry. The publication
discusses the concept of childhood in society during this time
frame, together with documented stories of individual children. The
discussion of early American childhood and textile production is
followed by extant clothing samples for both boys and girls,
ranging from upper class children's wear to children's wear of more
humble means. With over 180 illustrations, the book includes images
of textile production tools, inventions, and practices, extant
textile samples, period portraits of children, and handmade extant
clothing items worn by children during this time period. Early
American Children’s Clothing and Textiles: Clothing a Child 1600
to 1800 will be of interest to working costume designers and
technicians looking for primary historical and visual information
for Early American productions, costume design historians, early
American historians, students of costume design, and historical
re-enactment costume designers, technicians, and hobbyists.
