简介：Book Description: "This is a new scan of A Christmas Carol, Charles Dickens' best-loved book, one that continues to be popular today, over a century and half later. It was created from a photographic facsimile of an early printing of the first edition of 1843, published by K.S. Giniger Company in 1956. Thus the text may diverge slightly from modern editions. Edgar Johnson noted in the introduction to the facsimile edition that "It is not the very earliest state, but the form of the first edition that Dickens himself preferred." There are a few quirks in this edition: e.g. the title of the first chapter is 'Stave I,' but successive chapter numbers are spelled out. Dickens' tale of greed and redemption is a heart-warming tale of a Christmas miracle. But there is a dead serious purpose here. Dickens takes the mantle of an Old Testament prophet, issuing a stern warning to the capitalist class that they needed to mend their ways, or things would get a lot worse. It is also documentation of a now-lost world. Dickens shows us a panorama of 19th century English society, both high and low: bustling street scenes, a dingy rag-and-bones shop, a high-spirited Christmas dance. Ironically, in spite of the message against greed, A Christmas Carol was actually written by Dickens during a sales slump, solely to make money. He penned the short pot-boiler in a whirlwind six weeks, so that he could get it on the shelves before Christmas. It went on sale on the 19th of December, 1843, and far exceeded expectations. The book went through six printings before Christmas day, 1843. Reviewers also loved it. The critic Francis Jeffrey said: "You have done more good...by this little publication...than can be traced to all the pulpits and confessionals in Christendom since Christmas 1842." Thackeray said "It seems to me...a national benefit, and to every man or woman who reads it a personal kindness." It continues to be a beloved classic, as much a part of the holiday season as Christmas trees, Nativity displays, and Santa Claus."

简介：A journalist recounts his personal interview with Santa Claus at the North Pole after St. Nick himself refuted points in a Christmas paper the author was writing, during which his subject shared the actual story of his life, in a tale written to be read during the weeks before Christmas and based on legendary beliefs as well as historical information. It all started when Jeff Guinn was assigned to write a piece full of little-known facts about Christmas for his paper, The Fort Worth Star-Telegram. A few months later, he received a call from a gentleman who told him that he showed the story to an important friend who didn't think much of it. And who might that be? asked Jeff. The next thing he knew, he was whisked off to the North Pole to meet with this very important friend, and the rest is, well, as they say, history. An enchanting holiday treasure, The Autobiography of Santa Claus combines solid historical fact with legend to deliver the definitive story of Santa Claus. And who better to lead us through seventeen centuries of Christmas magic than good ol Saint Nick himself? Families will delight in each chapter of this new Christmas classic; one chapter per each cold December night leading up to Christmas!

简介：Summary: Publisher Summary 1 "Against the Logicians" is what the author calls his eclectic collection of 15 essays spanning the last 15 years. In topics ranging from affirmative action and capital punishment to the existence of Santa Claus and material taken from "Dear Abby" columns, he breaks free from logician's traditional premises and his earlier belief that proficiency in formal or symbolic logic is what separates real philosophers from sophomores. While trying not to alienate the very audience he seeks to address, Levi (U. of Oregon, Eugene) defends informal logic by critiquing the occupational hazards of critical thinking, argumentation, paradoxes, and "the unbearable vagueness of being." Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)   Publisher Summary 2 This book is distinguished from others on the market by its determination to base what it has to say on samples of actual argument. Outstanding features of the book include: criticism of logical theory for encouraging faulty and misleading readings of an argument; an approach to the informal fallacies and the enthymeme that is based on the recognition of the limitations of the requirement that an argument be reconstructed as a sequence of premises and conclusion; a treatment of certain paradoxes and of the Geltier problem that argues that there is something to resolve only because of the unwarranted assumption that formal logic is taken to have applications to fields other than itself; an emphasis on developing an alternative conflict resolution conception of argumentation. Many of the essays in this book are written in response to what other scholars in the field have said. However, the book addresses anyone who wonders, as the author does, about what can be achieved by argumentation and why it can be achieved

简介：S">Roy Lichtenstein's art is most recognizable for its trademark Benday dots and two-dimensional planes, cartoon-like qualities that placed him at the forefront of the American Pop Art scene. With its heavy emphasis on America's consumer culture, Lichtenstein's style lends itself easily to the poster genre. This volume opens with his earliest poster, designed for his first exhibition at the Leo Castelli gallery in 1962, and closes with his last, which he completed in the year of his death. An additional section features reproductions from the Claus von Olden collection and includes posters and flyers that were produced all over the world using Lichtenstein's iconic motifs. The works reflect Lichtenstein's prolific imagination and ability to adapt his vision to the promotion of music and film festivals, theatrical performances, museums, restaurants, public service messages, as well as his own exhibitions. An essay by Jurgen Doring expounds upon Lichtenstein's development as an artist who blurred the boundaries between low- and high-brow art. The book also includes an illustrated biography of the artist.

简介：　　It was the silly season and a Monday at that, and Kinsey Millhone was bogged down in a preliminary report on a fire claim. Something was nagging at her, but she couldn't pin it. The last thing she needed in the morning mail was a letter from her bank recording an erroneous $5,000 deposit in her account. Kinsey had never believed in Santa Claus and she wasn't about to change her mind now. Resigning herself to a morning of frustration, she phoned the bank and, assaulted by canned carols, waited on hold for an officer to clear up the snafu. It was with something less than Christmas cheer that Kinsey faced off only minutes later with California Fidelity's Mac Voorhies. Voorhies was smart, humorless, stingy with praise, and totally fair. He was frowning now. "I got a phone call this morning." he said, his frown deepening. "Somebody says you're on the take." Suddenly the $5,000 deposit clicked into place. It wasn't a mistake. It was a setup. "E" is for evidence: evidence planted, evidence lost. "E" is for ex-lovers and evasions, enemies and endings. For Kinsey, "E" is for everything she stands to lose if she can't exonerate herself: her license, her livelihood, her good name. And so she takes on a new client: namely, Kinsey Millhone, thirty-two and twice-divorced, ex-cop and wisecracking loner, a California private investigator with a penchant for lost causes--one of which, it is to be hoped, is not herself. As Kinsey begins to unravel the frame-up, she finds that her future is intimately tied to one family's past and to the explosive secret it has protected for almost twenty years. Digging deeper, she discovers that probing the past can have lethal consequences as she follows a trail of murder that leads to her own front door. And in what may well be her most challenging case, Kinsey comes up against the fact that sometimes, "E" is forever.

简介：Summary: Publisher Summary 1 It wouldn't be Christmas without the "things." How they came to mean so much, and to play such a prominent role in America's central holiday, is the tale told in this delightful and edifying book. In a style characteristically engaging and erudite, Karal Ann Marling, one of our most trenchant observers of American culture, describes the outsize spectacle that Christmas has become, showing us the provenance and significance of each of its essential parts: the decorated trees and holiday lights, the cards and gifts and wrapping papers, the toy villages and store displays and Macy's holiday parade, Bing Crosby and Santa Claus.Viewing Christmas through the media of mass culture--engravings and lithographs, magazine fiction, pictorial ads, news photos, cards, and movies--Marling tells us how the beloved Christmas tree grew out of a much-reprinted image of Queen Victoria and her family gathered around a decorated fir; how Santa Claus lost his provincial Dutch character and turned into the jolly old soul we know; how Charles Dickens's A Christmas Carolborrowed from Washington Irving's imaginings of what Christmas must have been like in Merrie Olde England; and how the holiday, balancing between the private and public realms, conferred a central and defining role on women.A celebration of the visual culture of the season, Merry Christmas!offers captivating evidence that Christmas in America is primarily a secular celebration of abundance, goodwill, and familial identity, expressed in a multitude of material ways.
