Hardback. Zustand: Very Good. It so happens that the work which is likely to be our most durable monument, and to convey some knowledge of us to the most remote posterity, is a work of bare utility; not a shrine, not a fortress, but a bridge. So wrote one architectural critic of the Brooklyn Bridge, one of the grandest and most eloquent monuments to the American spirit that our country has produced. Its magnificent site, breathtaking span, cutting-edge technology, and sheer beauty have made it the subject of poems, paintings, photographs, novels, plays, and movies. Beneath the Brooklyn Bridge's triumphant arches lie astonishing tales of death, deception, genius, and daring. Over the fourteen-year course of its construction, there were many deaths, including that of John A. Roebling, designer and chief engineer; an underwater fire; and even fraud. Finally, though, the bridge was finished, and as part of the opening day festivities, the president, and two mayors crossed it. In this stunning visual history, Lynn Curlee tells the fascinating story of the history and construction of the Eighth Wonder of the World. Curlee, Lynn (illustrator). …

Hardback. Zustand: Good. Tales about proud gods and goddesses, fabulous creatures, ferocious beasts, and brave heroes from the world of Greek mythology have captured the imaginations of readers, young and old, for centuries. Now see them brought to life like never before, as acclaimed author and artist Lynn Curlee turns his brush to a subject that is unlike any other to create a work of boundless creativity and beauty. From the fierce Chimera, who is part lion, goat, and serpent; to the magnificent Phoenix that rises from its own ashes; to the story of Jason and the Golden Fleece; to the legend of Perseus and the Gorgon Medusa; to the noble winged horse, Pegasus; to Cerberus, the three-headed watchdog of Hades, Mr. Curlee explores the characters of the myths and legends that have been told and retold for thousands of years. i> brings to life a world where lowly mortals can either be favored or destroyed by powerful gods and goddesse and where kings and queens must bow down before Zeus and his brethren. It is a place where nymphs and centaurs roam to the music of Pan's flute and the hungry Cyclops and Minotaur lurk in the shadows -- a magical place of love, danger, and imagination.

Hardback. Zustand: Good. A searing photo-illustrated historical memoir from the LGBTQIA+ frontlines of the AIDS epidemic of the 1980s and 1990s. Before COVID-19 made "pandemic" a household word in 2020, there was the AIDS pandemic of the 1980s and 1990s. Author Lynn Curlee explores the parallels and the difference as he recounts living in New York and Los Angeles when the disease silently took hold of the gay community. As the disease became a full-blown public health crisis, Curlee watched in horror at the devastating progression of HIV/AIDS, the staggering losses endured, and divisive politics and discrimination that cost many people their lives. With honesty and heart, Curlee tells the stories of the many friends and loved ones that he lost to the disease, including his own life partner. LGBTQ+ rights and access to health care continues to be threatened today. The Other Pandemic is a stark and strong reminder of how history speaks to the present, and this window to the past is a valuable tool for understanding our current cultural landscape. "HEARTBREAKING! This memoir of the AIDS plague is a powerful reminder to those of us who miraculously lived through it - and a valuable eye-opener for younger generations who can never allow this to happen again. With the COVID pandemic on everyone's radar, there couldn't be a more teachable moment. Author Lynn Curlee grabs this pulpit by the throat and fearlessly makes the case that we must never forget." - Sam Irvin, filmmaker and author "Reading The Other Pandemic was a very personal journey for me. I lost my stepfather to AIDS in 1993 when he was just 44 years old. The way Lynn shares his own life experiences a gay man living during this historic time of loss and perseverance is so insightful, and incredibly important to share with those who were not there firsthand to experience it." - Carol Bennett, daughter of Tim Bennett, a major character in THE OTHER PANDEMIC "Reading The Other Pandemic: An AIDS Memoir is akin to settling in with a dear, dear friend for a long-overdue catchup. Lynn Curlee's effortless and evocative prose is much more than a poignant account of a not-distant-past epidemic that galvanized the LGBTQ+ community. It is a deeply personal and brave story of chosen families, political deafness, and hard-fought resolve. Curlee both broke my heart and mended it." -Jeffrey Dale Lofton, author of Red Clay Suzie "The Other Pandemic is a poignant and raw examination of the AIDS crisis that highlights how much the past shapes our present. Lynn Curlee has accomplished something beautiful here-I could not put it down. I am grateful he chose to share his loved ones with the world." - Leo Rocha, Journalist and GLAAD "20 under 20" honoree.…

Hardback. Zustand: Good. The Student's Elements of Geology by Sir Charles Lyell is a comprehensive exploration of geological formations, focusing on the classification and origin of rocks. The text is structured to first introduce the reader to the fundamental types of rocks: aqueous, volcanic, Plutonic, and metamorphic. Aqueous rocks, also known as sedimentary rocks, are characterized by their stratification and fossil content, formed through the deposition of materials in water. Volcanic rocks are the result of igneous activity at or near the Earth's surface, often lacking fossils and stratification. Plutonic rocks, such as granite, are formed from molten material at great depths, exhibiting a crystalline texture due to slow cooling. Metamorphic rocks, including gneiss and schist, originate from the transformation of existing rock types under heat and pressure, resulting in a crystalline structure. Lyell emphasizes the importance of understanding these rocks not only as physical entities but also as chronological records of Earth's history. The text delves into the processes that lead to the formation of these rocks, such as sedimentation, volcanic activity, and metamorphism, and discusses their distribution and characteristics. By examining these geological structures, Lyell provides insights into the dynamic processes that have shaped the Earth's crust over time. …
