Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Even before Donald J. Trump reached his first hundred days in office, the Los Angeles Times's Editorial Board published the first of six consecutive denunciations calling him ?Our Dishonest President.? The paper's condemnation of Trump's lies, his authoritarian temperament, his war on journalism, and his obsession with conspiracies was as bold as it was unprecedented, as was its call to Californians to oppose the brazen acts of a man patently unfit to preside over the republic. It prompted a tremendous response: within days, the series garnered seven million page views.Heyday is proud to present a paperback of the six editorials, brought up to date with an introduction by Davan Maharaj, The Times?s publisher and editor-in-chief, and by Nicholas Goldberg, the paper?s editor of the editorial pages. When read in sequence the arguments gain force and momentum, delivering a formidable and indispensable critique by one of America?s most important newspapers.…

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Tony Rowell, son of wilderness photographer Galen Rowell, has created a compelling world in his ?astrophotographs? of nighttime landscapes awash with light from the cosmos. This new book showcases iconic Sierra Nevada landmarks, both natural and manmade, against the spectacular night sky. The Milky Way illuminates a fleet of boats in the harbor at Lake Tahoe; the old Methodist church at Bodie looks both inviting and spooky against the expanse of the night. At Mono Lake, spectral tufa towers stretch up to meet Leonid meteors; and farther west, water from Yosemite Falls cascades into a lunar rainbow. Accompanying several of the photographs are Rowell's stories of achieving a particular shot, stories that often include arduous feats such as carrying heavy packs of camera equipment at over 10,000-foot elevation and filming all night in subfreezing temperatures.…

Hardback. Zustand: Good. "[Jonathan Taplin] was the one who made Mean Streets and The Last Waltz possible, for which I will always be grateful. We had quite a few adventures on both projects, and they?re all chronicled in this memoir of his colorful life in show business." ?Martin Scorsese"The Magic Years reads like a Magical Mystery Tour of music, loss, beauty, family, justice, and social upheaval." ?Rosanne CashJonathan Taplin?s extraordinary journey has put him at the crest of every major cultural wave in the past half century: he was tour manager for Bob Dylan and the Band in the ?60s, producer of major films in the ?70s, an executive at Merrill Lynch in the ?80s, creator of the Internet?s first video-on-demand service in the ?90s, and a cultural critic and author writing about technology in the new millennium. His is a lifetime marked not only by good timing but by impeccable instincts?from the folk scene to Woodstock, Hollywood?s rebellious film movement, and beyond. Taplin is not just a witness but a lifelong producer, the right-hand man to some of the greatest talents of both pop culture and the underground.With cameos by Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, Martin Scorsese, and countless other icons, The Magic Years is both a rock memoir and a work of cultural criticism from a key player who watched a nation turn from idealism to nihilism. Taplin offers a clear-eyed roadmap of how we got here and makes a convincing case for art?s power to deliver us from ?passionless detachment? and rekindle our humanism.…

Middle schoolers will take to the superb writing and original format." ?School Library Journal, starred review "Korematsu's is an important story and should be part of our national educational curriculum." ?Los Angeles Review of BooksFred Korematsu liked listening to music on the radio, playing tennis, and hanging around with his friends?just like lots of other Americans. But everything changed when the United States went to war with Japan in 1941 and the government forced all people of Japanese ancestry to leave their homes on the West Coast and move to distant prison camps. This included Fred, whose parents had immigrated to the United States from Japan many years before. But Fred refused to go. He knew that what the government was doing was unfair. And when he got put in jail for resisting, he knew he couldn't give up.Inspired by the award-winning book for adults Wherever There's a Fight, the Fighting for Justice series introduces young readers to real-life heroes and heroines of social progress. The story of Fred Korematsu's fight against discrimination explores the life of one courageous person who made the United States a fairer place for all Americans, and it encourages all of us to speak up for justice.

Hardback. Zustand: Good. A gripping, witty memoir about indigeneity, travel, and colonialism."Ursula Pike's memoir is unlike any other I've read, with her perceptive, always-seeking, and lovely narrative voice." ?Susan Straight, author of Mecca"This book is alive with a spirit that welcomed mine to meet it." ?Elissa Washuta, author of White MagicWhen she was twenty-five, Ursula Pike boarded a plane to Bolivia and began her term of service in the Peace Corps. A member of the Karuk Tribe, Pike sought to make meaningful connections with Indigenous people halfway around the world. But she arrived in La Paz with trepidation as well as excitement, 'knowing I followed in the footsteps of Western colonizers and missionaries who had also claimed they were there to help.' In the following two years, as a series of dramatic episodes brought that tension to boiling point, she began to ask: what does it mean to have experienced the effects of colonialism firsthand, and yet to risk becoming a colonizing force in turn?An Indian Among los Indígenas, Pike?s memoir of this experience, upends a canon of travel memoirs that has historically been dominated by white writers. It is a sharp, honest, and unnerving examination of the shadows that colonial history casts over even the most well-intentioned attempts at cross-cultural aid. It is also the debut of an exceptionally astute writer with a mastery of deadpan wit. It signals a shift in travel writing that is long overdue.…
