Any Man $17.98 "She just disappeared…" It happened so long ago that most everyone has forgotten. No one knew, of course, what had really happened and that kept them from talking about it. It wasn’t a family secret; in fact, it wasn’t a secret at all. It was just something no one ever talked about. No one ever said anything about it. Just like no one ever spoke of Ella, my aunt who went missing. "She was supposed to come home on the train but she never got there." No one knew what happened to Ella. It’s a mystery that was never solved. Or is it a crime that was never punished? More accurately, it is the story of a father’s love as he searches for his missing daughter. It is a journey that he takes in the hope of bringing her back home. "He never gave up looking." A mystery, a journey—Any Man, the story of one father’s search for his missing daughter. |

At Any Cost $3.48 Jack Welch, the CEO of General Electric and one of the most renowned figures in today’s business world, has been seen by some as the model corporate leader and by others as the quintessential unmitigated pursuer of profit. In this searching, revealing, and riveting book, the man and his methods, and the legendary company he runs, are brilliantly examined.In the 1980s Welch built GE into the prototypical global company. In the process, he created immeasurable wealth. GE under Welch is the world’s most profitable and most valuable company–twenty-two consecutive years of dividend increases; a near-perfect progression of ever-higher profits; and a 1,155 percent increase in the value of its shares between 1982 and 1997, the year GE became the first corporation to be valued at more than $200 billion. By July 1998 its shares had risen in value another $100 billion.As we watch Welch’s spectacular rise through the ranks at GE, we see his impetuousness, his aggressiveness, his lightning strikes. We see the making of an extraordinary leader who is a catalyst for change, who anticipates events rather than merely reacting to them, and who confronts complacency with blitzkrieg action.But success for a company can come at a price for the community. As Thomas F. O’Boyle shows, long before most chief executives had heard of corporate restructuring–and long before "downsizing" became a word heard daily in American life–Welch was practicing both. As the story of his seventeen-year tenure unfolds, we see him eliminate hundreds of thousands of jobs, send other jobs abroad, buy and sell hundreds of businesses, remove entire echelons from the corporate hierarchy, and shift the company’s focus from long-established manufacturing businesses to entertainment and finance. His approach to personnel cuts earned him thenickname "Neutron Jack."In its latest incarnation, the vast manufacturing company that Thomas Edison began in 1878 has also been caught up in miscues and legal difficulties: defective refrigerators brought to market; industrial wastes improperly buried; excessive radiation in the workplace; fraud in military contract procurement; a financial service division’s improprieties that landed on the front page. All the while, shareholders have reaped enormous gains–but, the author asks, at what cost?Thomas F. O’Boyle has given us an unprecedented look at GE, at the Welch revolution–at the American way of big business at the end of the twentieth century. |

On Any Sunday $16.96 With narration by co-producer Steve McQueen (who also races in some of its segments), director Bruce Brown (best-known for his poetic surfing documentary, Endless Summer) takes us into the incredibly varied and physically demanding world of motorcycle racing. Shot during a two-year period and edited from over 150 hours of footage, the film sets a new standard in motorcycle racing photography, and the film’s action is enhanced by Dominic Frontiere’s musical score. Along with other types of racing, Moto-Cross racing from the wilds of northern Canada (where wheels have two-inch steel spikes for traction in ice) to the Mojave desert is shown. While some European motorcycle racing is shown, such as the English Trials, most of the film concentrates on the American racing scene. Footage of the day-to-day life of McQueen, sportsman Malcom Smith and champion Mert Lawwill, as they participate in the racing circuit, helps to tie the film together. ~ Clarke Fountain, All Movie Guide |

On Any Given Sunday $19.98 This is a novel about football—professional, that is—in something of the way, say, Bernard Malamud’s The Natural is a novel about baseball. In it you can discover the essence, the truth, of the warzone the players inhabit that can only be invoked by Pat Toomay, a man who was there. ”Pat Toomay, for many years a lineman with the Cowboys and the Raiders, has mixed fact and fiction to produce a story that will make every armchair quarterback laugh and wince—and worry at his exposition of the game’s most insidious reality: the prospect—on any given Sunday—of a fix.” —John Seignthaler, Editorial Director, USA Today |

Summarization In Any Subject $27.98 Educators agree that the ability to summarize–to identify salient information and structure it for meaning, long-term retention, and successful application–is an essential academic skill. Research affirms summarization’s reputation as a highly effective way to boost comprehension and achievement. We know summarization works. But isn’t it, well, just a little dull? It doesn’t have to be. Rick Wormeli, a teacher certified by the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards, makes the case that summarization is not only one of the most effective ways to improve student learning, it’s also one of the most flexible, responsive, and engaging. Here, you’ll find a classroom-tested collection of written, spoken, artistic, and kinesthetic summarization techniques for both individual assignments and group activities across the content areas. Suitable for students in grades 3-12, these techniques are easily adjustable to any curriculum and presented with ample directions and vivid, multidisciplinary examples. They are valuable additions to every teacher’s repertoire. Wormeli also clarifies the process of teaching students how to summarize and includes a special section on the key skill of paraphrasing. The book concludes with an assortment of original text excerpts and activity prompts–a great starting place for teachers ready to use summarization in their own classrooms. |

Anybody Any Minute $4.99 Ellen Kenny has a big mouth and a penchant for telling the truth, which is why sheÂ’s just been fired from yet another high-profile NYC job. Determined to make the most of this unexpected free time, she heads to Montreal to visit her sister. On the way, she spots a tumbledown upstate farmhouse – one sheÂ’s seen in her dreams for years – and impulsively buys it on a hefty credit card advance. Over her husbandÂ’s protests, Ellen decides to drop out of the rat race and spend the summer living out her woman-who-runs-with-the wolves fantasy, communing with nature in an effort to confront middle age and figure out how on earth she got there. Rather than peacefully tend her garden and puzzle things out, however, Ellen soon becomes embroiled in the exceedingly unique problems of two redneck, social misfit neighbors – an ex-biker and an aging chainsaw sculptor – while taking care of a narcoleptic dog and a child who doesn’tÂ’t speak English. With EllenÂ’s quest for meaning and her concern for the welfare of others driving the plot, Anybody Any Minute is deeply layered, heartbreaking . . . and hilarious. |

No Equal in Any Land $55.48 AndrAndré Beauneveu has long been known as one of the greatest European artists of the late fourteenth century, described by the chronicler Jean Froissart as having "no equal in any land." He was born in Valenciennes in the southern Netherlands around 1330. His reputation grew swiftly and in 1364 he was commissioned by the King of France, Charles V, to create a group of royal tombs at St. Denis. In the 1370s he oversaw another ambitious funerary project, for Louis de Male, Count of Flanders, at Kortrijk while continuing to undertake major civic commissions at Ypres, Mechelen and his home town of Valenciennes. Beauneveu spent the last years of his career in Bourges as master of works for the most celebrated royal patron of all, Jean, duc de Berry. This book re-examines the oeuvre of the artist. Publishing for the first time a magnificent limestone sculpture attributed to the artist’s own hand, the author examines Beauneveu as first and foremost a master sculptor (ymagier). She surveys the whole of his work, including sculpture and stained glass originally for Jean, duc de Berry’s chapel at Bourges. This is an important revisionary contribution to the study of late medieval art and the practice of its workshops. |

Are There Any Good Jobs Left? $39.48 This book is for and about the millions of people who are between jobs (code for "out of work"), have been between jobs, or know of someone who has been. It is about the transition from employment-for-life, career development support, and a company-sponsored pension to downsized, outsourced, and replaced. It is about managing your career proactively and creatively in an environment where no job is presumed to be permanent. Bill Holland explains the macro-trends that have converged since the heyday of the white-collar worker after World War II to create an environment of job instability and anxiety, and then moves beyond this context to present specific tactics and techniques that readers can use to stay one step ahead in their careers, whether they are senior executives or just starting out. Much more than a manual for job searches and career-building strategies, Are There Any Good Jobs Left? shows readers how to interpret trends (e.g., will this wave of outsourcing affect me?), assess such temptations as leaving the corporate rat race for the entrepreneurial life, and consider the ethics of constant networking. In addition, he explores the dynamics of the increasingly diverse workforce, and the prospects for men, women, and minorities as they all vie for the most attractive positions. Featuring an annotated listing of books and Web sites, Are There Any Good Jobs Left? is not so much an indictment of corporate disloyalty as an explanation of the phenomenon and a guidebook for anyone faced with job transition, change, or growth in today’s turbulent environment. |

Truth at Any Cost $3.98 What drove the man who nearly toppled a presidency and forced the most serious constitutional crisis in twenty-five years? Conventional wisdom portrays Independent Counsel Kenneth Starr as a right-wing religious zealot out to destroy the president, and Bill Clinton as a victim whose only "crime" was a private indiscretion.In Truth at Any Cost, two of America’s preeminent investigative reporters, Susan Schmidt and Michael Weisskopf, reveal for the first time what really went on inside the Office of the Independent Counsel. The book details Ken Starr’s motivations, his inner struggles, and his anguish as he comes under attack by Clinton’s ferocious partisans. It goes behind the locked doors of Starr’s office as prosecutors make the fateful decision to pursue the case against Clinton for lying to conceal his embarrassing affair with an intern half his age. Schmidt and Weisskopf lay bare what happened on the night when FBI agents first confronted Monica Lewinsky, how the White House launched a political jihad to survive, and how Starr’s team agonized over Clinton’s fate.For four years, the bland, smiling man behind the investigation of President Clinton remained a mystery, both to many who supported him and to those who feared him. Until now. Truth at Any Cost shows Ken Starr in a new light: as an upright but politically naive prosecutor who withstood public vilification to pursue the truth–including what he and his deputies saw as the president’s attempts to use the power of his office to thwart a legitimate inquiry. Here is an unblinking look at the battle between Starr’s legal absolutism and Clinton’s chronic evasions. It examines Starr’s impassioned quest to bring the president to justice, and explains how Starr eventually became a casualty of his own mission, leaving the arena as bloodied as the man he had pursued. |

Unsafe at any Altitude $4.48 If you think you are safe getting on a plane in the United States . . . THINK AGAINUnsafe at Any Altitude reveals for the first time:• That Saudi intelligence, on which the United States relied for information about Al Qaeda, was penetrated by the terrorist group long before 9/11. Information provided by the Saudis lulled the president and his team into believing they had Al Qaeda under meaningful watch.• What the 9/11 Commission did not share with the public, including the probability that weapons were put on planes in advance by exploiting security vulnerabilities at airports. To this day, while passengers are forced to stand in line, hundreds of thousands of airport workers remain unsearched and unscreened.• How the White House and Justice Department created a diversion to place blame for the 9/11 attacks and avoid the wrath of the American people.• How a partnership the United States made in the 1980s with Iran and Hezbollah terrorists who killed and kidnapped hundreds of Americans and hijacked our planes contributed to a sequence of events that made 9/11 possible.• That the FBI, CIA, NSA, and Department of Homeland Security refuse to give the airlines an accurate no-fly list, thereby allowing the world’s most threatening terrorists to continue to fly. Unsafe at Any Altitude will help readers tell the difference between the eye candy of sharp uniforms on federal officers and what would amount to effective security at our airports.We may be less safe flying today than we were before 9/11, and we have spent billions of dollars in tax money going backward. Unsafe at Any Altitude goes behind the scenes at our nation’s airports and penetrates the government to paint a picture of a Transportation Security Administration that is remarkably inept, and reveals the great lengths that U.S. carriers and their lobbyists have gone in order to make certain that serious airline security has not been instituted in this country. Susan and Joseph Trento also trace the evolution of security failures along a continuum that led directly to 9/11: the hijackings of passenger jets to Cuba decades ago, Iran- Contra, Hezbollah’s bombing of the U.S. Marine barracks in Beirut, its hijacking of TWA flight 847, the Pan Am Flight 103 Lockerbie tragedy. These and numerous other episodes exposed vulnerabilities in our nation’s policies and practices that we failed to heed.9/11 has resulted in the creation of massive new law enforcement bureaucracies and programs, and a sense of vigilance has certainly arisen among the American public. The Trentos’ disturbing investigation reveals, however, that many key aspects of what went wrong on 9/11 have never been carefully examined, rendering meaningful reform impossible. For instance, the TSA was created to replace the low-wage private screeners who once guarded our airports. But no investigative body, including the 9/11 Commission, has ever concluded that the private scre… |

Legal At Any Age $13.98 A late bloomer, Edmonia Jarrett came to jazz at the age of 57. Legal at any Age is her second album. Her first, Live, Live, Live, also done for MNOP, was released in 1997. At first hearing, the listener may be taken aback by Jarrett’s voice This is not the sweet, pure sounding voice of a dreamy chanteuse. Instead, Jarrett’s low, sort of rough vibrato displays life’s experiences on the vocal chords, much like Carmen McRae toward the end of her career. This emotive quality is quite evident on Edith Piaf’s classic torch song “If You Love Me,” enhanced by the excellent vibes playing of Susan Pascal. The song with the obligatory Latin beat is “How Am I to Know,” which doesn’t lend itself all that well to that rhythmic pattern, despite the valiant percussive efforts of Ernesto Pediangco. Jarrett’s gospel background comes through in the Brook Benton/Clyde Otis “Endlessly.” The highlights of the album are the two duets with the estimable Freddy Cole. Cole and Jarrett sound so good together they should collaborate on a full album of songs. Legal at any Age is loaded with good players, veteran and not so veteran. The two bass players, Andy Simpkins and Buddy Catlett have enough years of jazz-playing experience between them that their mere presence gives the album credibility. Simpkins’ bass is the sole accompaniment to Jarrett’s “Come Rain or Come Shine.” Floyd Standifer, an under-recognized player, displays his muted, lyrical trumpet on “Summer Wishes, Winter Dreams.” Larry Fuller’s softly caressed piano is heard on most cuts. Jarrett got started in the jazz singing business rather late in life. But with her second album, she is making up for lost time. ~ Dave Nathan, All Music GuidePerformers: Susan Pascal – Vibraphone; Buddy Catlett – Bass; Freddy Cole – Vocals; Geoff Cooke – Bass; Larry Fuller – Piano; Larry Jones – Drums; Brian Kirk – Drums; Ernesto Pediangco – Percussion; Andy Simpkins – Bass; Jim Sisko – Trumpet; |

A Wizard by Any Other Name $15.98 When Mallecyne St. Merline was told she had been assigned a new partner for an ongoing investigation, she wasn’t pleased. When she discovered her partner was a ‘null’, while Mallecyne herself was a fifth-level sorcerer, she wondered what her boss was thinking. Isis City was in the midst of a crisis amongst high school students — their most promising young wizards and sorceresses were being abducted into another dimension. Hero Wizardsbane wasn’t just a ‘null’ — he was one of the famed Wizardsbane clan; impervious to magic. As a team they are the only ones who can defeat the evil wizard Tynedale — Mallecyne’s former mentor and lover — and end his scheme to take over their world. In the rescuing of the stranded magick students Mallecyne and Hero get glimpses of our world that make them glad to live in theirs; while working together the two police officers fall in love and pledge their troth. |

Any Old Time $9.98 Steve Forbert has sometimes been tagged a “new Dylan,” but, despite his having been born and raised in Meridian, MS, and being known to sometimes break into a convincing rendition of “In the Jailhouse Now” in concert, he has never been accused of being a new version of Meridian’s other musical native son, Jimmie Rodgers. Forbert aims to change that with this album, subtitled, “Songs of Jimmie Rodgers.” Forbert doesn’t actually sound like Rodgers, of course, not with his gravelly tenor and absence of a real “blue yodel” among his vocal abilities (not that he doesn’t try). Along with co-producers Garry Tallent and Tim Coats, he does not re-create the Rodgers arrangements, but employs a range of acoustic instruments, along with some electric ones, to present contemporary folk-rock treatments that nevertheless hark back to the songs’ origins. The most radical departure comes with “My Rough and Rowdy Ways,” which is done in the 1950s rock & roll style of Buddy Holly. For the most part, Forbert avoids Rodgers’ best-known songs, the exception being the leadoff track, “Waiting on a Train.” Because of the depth of Rodgers’ songwriting talent, that still allows for plenty of good, relatively unfamiliar tunes such as the title song and “Ben Dewberry’s Final Run.” The result is a strong tribute to a great musician that also illuminates his influence on a very good one. ~ William Ruhlmann, All Music GuidePerformers: Tim Coats – Autoharp, Jaw Harp; Charlie Chadwick – Bass (Upright); Bill Hullett – Banjo, Dobro, Guitar (Acoustic), Guitar (Electric), Mandolin, Ukulele; Kenneth Lovelace – Fiddle; Steve Forbert – Guitar (Acoustic), Harmonica, Vocals; Bobby Lloyd Hicks – Drums; Will Kimbrough – Guitar (Electric); Bobby Ogdin – Keyboards; Garry Tallent – Bass, Guitar (Electric) |

Any Human Heart $24.48 The author of Armadillo, The Blue Afternoon and Brazzaville Beach—the novelist who has been called a “master storyteller” (Chicago Tribune) and “a gutsy writer who is good company to keep” (Time)—now gives us his most entertaining, sly and compelling novel to date, a novel that evokes the tumult, events and iconic faces of our time, as it tells the story of Logan Mountstuart—writer, lover and man of the world—through his intimate journals.Here is the “riotous and disorganized reality” of Mountstuart’s eighty-five years in all their extraordinary, tragic and humorous aspects. The journals begin with his boyhood in Montevideo, Uruguay; then move to Oxford in the 1920s and the publication of his first book; then on to Paris (where he meets Joyce, Picasso, Hemingway, et al.) and to Spain where he covers the civil war. During World War II, we see him as an agent for Naval Intelligence, becoming embroiled in a murder scandal that involves the Duke and Duchess of Windsor. The postwar years bring him to New York as an art dealer in the world of 1950s abstract expressionism, then on to West Africa, to London (where he has a run-in with the Baader-Meinhof Gang) and, finally, to France where, in his old age, he acquires a measure of hard-won serenity.A moving, ambitious and richly conceived novel that summons up the heroics and follies of twentieth-century life. |

Support Any Friend $31.98 They were three of the most memorable figures of the twentieth century: David Ben-Gurion, Israel’s indomitable founding father; Egyptian President Gamal Abdul Nasser, the charismatic Arab nationalist; and the young and dynamic John F. Kennedy. Now Warren Bass illuminates these three extraordinary men and their diplomatic struggles at the height of the Cold War, offering stunning new insights into the origins of today’s Middle East. The Kennedy period, Bass writes, was no "mere place-marker between Suez and the Six Day War, between the martial frostiness of Dwight Eisenhower and the Texas warmth of Lyndon Johnson." He shows how Kennedy sought greater influence in the Arab world, offering more foreign aid and a new diplomatic overture to Nasser, the Arab world’s leading radical. For a while, Kennedy and Nasser engaged in a rich personal correspondence. But the rapprochement was cut short by Nasser’s impulsive intervention in Yemen’s civil war, which led Kennedy to deploy fighter jets in Saudi Arabia as a warning to Egypt. Meanwhile, Kennedy made the first major U.S. arms sale to Israel, providing it with advanced Hawk anti-aircraft missiles–a crucial policy shift that marks the origins of America’s alliance with the Jewish state. But Kennedy also feared that Israel would get the bomb and demanded that Ben-Gurion open his secret nuclear reactor to U.S. inspectors, leading to a grave confrontation. Ultimately, Israel agreed to inspections–but continued its nuclear weapons program under the cover of intense secrecy. Drawing on meticulous research, Warren Bass paints a fresh, elegant portrait of the pivotal presidency that helped create the modern Middle East. |
