Zustand: Gut. Umschlag leicht berieben, sonst gutes Exemplar. - Signs and wonders is a richly detailed history of the giant animated signs known as "spectaculars," the evolution of which has mirrored the evolution of American commerce and society throughout the twentieth century. Although the book concentrates on Times Square, now as ever the spectacular's principal gallery, readers may be surprised to learn that the spectacular once flourished in every American city across the land. The blazing images portrayed in these signs are far richer and more complex than they appear to be, for they embody the soul of commercial culture. At the core they are the means by which corporations over the decades have talked to America and conveyed the messages that have helped to shape our daily lives. In large measure they pioneered the electronic communications revolution now taking place all around us.

Earth First! quickly came to national attention with their "cracking" of Glen Canyon Dam activist stunt, which was performed and filmed in the spring of 1981. Edward Abbey is considered to be the "literary father" of the group. "Earth First! is the beginning of the new, bold environmental movement. And 'Earth First! The Radical Environmental Journal' is its voice. No compromise in the defense of Mother Earth!" (Dave Foreman, Editor).

Starr was an active participate of organizations on the home-front including the U.S. War Savings Service and the American Protective League. The APL began in 1917 and was "an organization of private citizens that worked with Federal law enforcement agencies during the World War I era to identify suspected German sympathizers and to counteract the activities of radicals, anarchists, anti-war activists, and left-wing labor and political organizations." The organization claimed that it had "250,000 members in 600 cities" and was started by Chicago advertising executive, A.M. Briggs, who believed the Justice Department was "severely understaffed." One memo from 1919 featured here reads, "as you know, the American Protective League was formerly disbanded Feb 1st. We all feel that it would be a mistake to disband without holding a final get-together meeting and accordingly have planned a banquet to be held at Litchfield on the evening of March 14th, 1919." Starr additionally devoted his time to the U.S. War Savings Service, his patch and three button are included here. He helped sell thrift stamps as well as Liberty Loans, a quota chart for Massachusetts is seen here. Thrift stamps were sold to help with the 32 billion dollar estimated cost of the war. The pins included here read, "I Sell Thrift Stamps Ask Me," "Save/Serve W.S.S.," "War Savings W.S.S. Service." Also included are three programs for a French Military Band concert and a postcard. A modest but interesting collection of ephemera pertaining to a man's contributions to the home-front during World War I.
