Book First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. First Edition, First Printing. The controversy over the use of primates in research admits of no easy answers. We have all benefited from the medical discoveries of primate research--vaccines for polio, rubella, and hepatitis B are just a few, But we have also learned more in recent years about how intelligent apes and monkeys really are: they can speak to us with sign language, they can even play video games (and are as obsessed with the games as any human teenager). And activists have also uncovered cases of unnecessarily callous treatment of animals by researchers. It is a complex issue, made more difficult by the often combative stance of both researchers and animal activists. In THE MONKEY WARS, Deborah Blum gives a human face to this often caustic debate--an all-but-human face to the subjects of the struggle, the chimpanzees and monkeys themselves. Blum criss-crosses America to show us firsthand the issues and personalities involved. She offers a wide-ranging, informative look at animal activists, now numbering some twelve million, from the moderate Animal Welfare Institute to the highly radical Animal Liberation Front (a group destructive enough to be placed on the FBI's terrorist list). And she interviews a wide variety of researchers, many forced to conduct their work protected by barbed wire and alarm systems, men and women for whom death threats and hate mail are common. Along the way, Blum offers us insights into the many side-issues involved: scientists who lose funding because they support animal rights; the intense battle, fought by both sides, to win over school kids; the danger of transplanting animal organs into humans (it could possibly unleash a deadly, highly infectious disease), and the concerns over the dwindling monkey populations. Deborah Blum won the Pulitzer Prize in 1992 for the series of articles that inspired this book. Fine, in fine, mylar-protected dust jacket. NF21.

Book First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. Here at last is an authoritative, full-scale history of that most ambivalent of American political relationships: the interaction between the White House and the news media. From George Washington to Ronald Reagan, the authors explore the shifting and often dangerous currents in press-president relations, showing how these currents merged at today's critical juncture.Combining fascinating detail with trenchant commentary, Tebbel and Watts illuminate the influence of the press on presidential conduct and explain how presidents have come to manipulate the media, especially television, in ways never envisioned by the framers of the First Amendment. Seeing government control as a genuine threat to a free press, they warn of the growth of an imperialistic presidency that may well be capable of nullifying the First Amendment, in a relatively short time and with public support. The authors are not biased toward either the Democrats of the Republicans, and they show that the media owners themselves bear much of the blame for placing their own freedom in peril.In addition to offering a vigorous point of view, The Press and the Presidency is richly rewarding as narrative history. It unveils a dramatic pageant of American politics, replete with biographical and anecdotal nuggets. The authors are as vivid in discussing the press vilification that plagued Jefferson and Lincoln, as they are in describing the media manipulations of modern administrations. Fine, unread, first edition, first printing, in fine, mylar-protected dust jacket.{Not remainder-marked or price-clipped} NFBS2.

Book First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. Challenging everything from the mandates of the Catholic Church to the hotly debated ethics of pornography, and from the controversy surrounding gay rights to issues of gender and feminism, WITH PLEASURE explores a new theory of human sexuality that ignites every hot topic in the public domain. What role, authors Paul Abramson and Steven Pinkerton ask, does sexual pleasure play in our lives? Is the pursuit of sexual enjoyment in our blood? Our brains? Our very nature? Regardless of the source, it can be agreed that the joys of sex are widely appreciated. Why, then, is pleasure so often overlooked in discussions of sexual behavior, and why do cultural, historical, and religious treatises so often fail to emphasize, or outright ignore, this obvious aspect of human sexuality? Responding to these and many other questions about our most private affairs, WITH PLEASURE provides a profoundly original challenge to the cherished truisms of human sexuality. Abramson and Pinkerton proclaim the paramount importance of pleasure, while at the same time overthrowing traditional ideas about gender, pornography, contraception, homosexuality, abortion, and much more. Supported by rigorous research and co-written by one of the foremost authorities on sex, With Pleasure argues that human sexuality cannot be understood if its significance is limited to reproduction alone. The authors posit that in humans reproduction itself occurs as a byproduct of pleasure--not the other way around--and that it is the strong drive for pleasure that makes people overcome many obstacles--and even life-threatening dangers such as AIDS--to have sex. Ranging from discussions about the church. to current debates about pornography, and from evolutionary theory to questions about the future of sex and pleasure, Abramson and Pinkerton argue persuasively that the pleasurability of sex cannot be restricted to purely reproductive behavior.WITH PLEASURE advances a startling and original new theory about human sexuality, one which the authors believe will replace all existing notions about sex. The book, standing in direct and deliberate opposition to traditions that try to confine sexuality to procreation, is sure to ignite a firestorm of controversy.

Hardcover. Condition: As New. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. Computers and their origins have a fascination both for scholars and for ordinary readers, but much of the existing literature on the history of computing is too specialized to interest the general reader. This collection is broad in scope, offering an authoritative and up-to-date introduction to the history of computing. It gives an overview of two centuries in the history of information processing and detailed coverage of a number of more recent topics, including PC software, user interfaces, and the Internet. By integrating the technical, business, and policy aspects of the history of computing, the authors explain how and why computers were created, and how they were shaped by the intent of their creators. All of the contributors are experts in their fields, writing clearly and avoiding jargon to make this book accessible to a wide range of general readers, students, historians and computer professionals.
