Paperback. Zustand: Good. In the golden age of American theater, no celestial body shone more dazzlingly than Tallulah Bankhead. Outrageous, outspoken, and totally uninhibited, she was an actress known as much for her offstage vices as for her onstage roles--the cocaine and alcohol, the blistering tirades, and her scandalous affairs with both men and women. In Tallulah!, author Joel Lobenthal has captured the private essence of this most public of Broadway stars, the irrepressible diva who enjoyed intimate relationships with the top entertainment luminaries of her day, from Tennessee Williams and Noël Coward to Marlene Dietrich and Billie Holiday. Here also are the close and personal details of her family life and doomed romances, drawn from scores of exclusive interviews, and previously untapped information from Scotland Yard and the FBI. This is the definitive biography of Tallulah Bankhead, a woman even more complex, more nuanced, and more shocking than her notorious mythology suggests.…

Paperback. Zustand: Good. A snapshot of the civil-rights movement in one city provides insight into the important role of individual communities as change moved through the country.a case study of how citizens of one city both precipitated and responded to the whirlwind of social change around them.--Kirkus Reviews A profoundly moving tribute to the intrepid unsung heroes who risked their lives to help bring an end to Baltimore's Jim Crow Era.--Kam Williams, syndicated columnistOn August 28, 1963--the day of Martin Luther King Jr.'s famous I Have a Dream speech--segregation ended finally at Baltimore's Gwynn Oak Amusement Park, after nearly a decade of bitter protests. Eleven-month-old Sharon Langley was the first African American child to go on a ride there that day, taking a spin on the park's merry-go-round, which since 1981 has been located on the National Mall in front of the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C. Round and Round Together weaves the story of the struggle to integrate that Baltimore amusement park into the story of the civil rights movement as a whole. Round and Round Together is illustrated with archival photos from newspapers and other sources, as well as personal photos from family albums of individuals interviewed for the book. There is a timeline of major Civil Rights events. Amy Nathan's book deftly describes the courageous struggle by blacks and whites to end discrimination in the park, the city, and the nation. Readers will walk away with a clearer understanding of segregation and the valiant Americans who fought against this injustice.--Debra Newman Ham, Professor of History, Morgan State UniversityRound and Round Together tells the inspiring story of how a generation of college and high school students provided the energy and enthusiasm that ended racial segregation in Baltimore's Gwynn Oak Amusement Park and changed the direction of Maryland's history.--James Henretta, Professor Emeritus, University of Maryland With clarity and passion, Amy Nathan portrays the struggle of everyday citizens to end racial segregation in Baltimore. This compelling history, for and about young people, is simple but profound like freedom itself.--Taylor Branch, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of the trilogy America in the King Years Amy Nathan is an award-winning author of several books for young people, including The Young Musician's Survival Guide, Count on Us: American Women in the Military, Yankee Doodle Gals: Women Pilots of World War II, Meet the Musicians, and Surviving Homework. She grew up in Baltimore and went to Western High School.…

Hardback. Zustand: Good. Americans have enjoyed a love-hate relationship with Wall Street for more than two hundred years. Long an object of suspicion and even fear, the stock market eventually came to be seen as an easy path to wealth. Steve Fraser examines the history of this powerful force that has had so much impact on the economy, politics and culture of the United States. The ethos of Wall Street contradicts that of American society in several ways: in a culture dedicated to hard work, it offers the possibility of instant, easy wealth, and the social hierarchy it supports clashes with the egalitarianism of a democratic society. Nevertheless, stocks and bonds have increasingly become accepted as a logical investment option. Breathtaking in its scope, Every Man a Speculator is nothing less than a history of capitalism in America. Steve Fraser is the author of Labor Will Rule: Sidney Hillman and the Rise of American Labor, a winner of the Phillip Taft Prize for the best book in labor history, as well as the co-editor of The Rise and Fall of the New Deal Order. His work has appeared in the New York Times, the Nation, The American Prospect, Raritan, and Dissent. He received his Ph.D. in American History from Rutgers University. He lives in New York."An illuminating tour of how the United States has perceived its financial center over two centuries . Fraser's prose is elegant, and his eye for historical detail is keen, carrying the reader through the many sagas that he entertainingly recounts." -- Washington Post.…
