Fishkin, Shelley Fisher, 1950-. Lighting out for the territory: reflections on Mark Twain and American culture. New York: Oxford University Press, 1997, with 1st printing number line, , very good dust-jacket, very good black half-cloth with blue boards. Lighting Out for the Territory: Reflections on Mark Twain and American Culture reveals who Mark Twain really was, how he got to be that way, and what we do with his legacies today. How did this son of slave holders come to write one the greatest anti-racist works of fiction of all time? Why is that remarkable odyssey erased today in his hometown of Hannibal, Missouri? Which aspects of Twain are celebrated or exploited today and which are ignored? Whether she is probing Twain's presence in cyberspace or in the classroom, in advertising or animated cartoons, author Shelley Fisher Fishkin is incisive and imaginative. Her boldly original blend of personal narrative, biography, history, and criticism will change the way we look at Mark Twain and, perhaps, ourselves., Lighting Out for the Territory offers an intriguing look at how Mark Twain's life and work have been cherished, memorialized, exploited, and misunderstood. It offers a wealth of insight into Twain, into his work, and into our nation, both past and present. 9780195105315 ISBN 0195105311.

Hamm, Charles. Irving Berlin: songs from the melting pot : the formative years, 1907-1914. New York: Oxford University Press, 1997, with 1st printing number line, xii, 292pp., very good dust-jacket, light wear, very good yellow half-cloth with blue boards. Irving Berlin remains a central figure in American music, a lyricist/composer whose songs are loved all over the world. His first piece, "Marie from Sunny Italy," was written in 1907, and his "Alexander's Ragtime Band" attracted more public and media attention than any other song of its decade. In later years Berlin wrote such classics as "God Bless America," "Blue Skies," "Always," "Cheek to Cheek," and the holiday favorites "White Christmas" and "Easter Parade." Jerome Kern, his fellow songwriter, commented that "Irving Berlin is American music." In Irving Berlin: The Formative Years, Charles Hamm traces the early years of this most famous and distinctive American songwriter. Beginning with Berlin's immigrant roots--he came to New York in 1893 from Russia--Hamm shows how the young Berlin quickly revealed the talent for music and lyrics that was to mark his entire career.^, Berlin first wrote for the vaudeville stage, turning out songs that drew on the various ethnic cultures of the city. These pieces, with their Jewish, Italian, German, Irish, and Black protagonists singing in appropriate dialects, reflected the urban mix of New York's melting pot. Berlin drew on various musical styles, especially ragtime, for such songs as "Alexander's Ragtime Band," and Hamm devotes an entire chapter to the song and its success. The book also details Berlin's early efforts to write for the Broadway musical stage, culminating in 1914 with his first musical comedy, Watch Your Step, featuring the popular dance team, Vernon and Irene Castle. A great hit on Broadway and in London, the show was a key piece in the Americanization of the musical comedy. Blessed with prodigious ambition and energy, Berlin wrote at least 4 or 5 new songs a week, many of which were discarded.^, He nevertheless published 190 songs between 1907 and 1914, an astonishing number considering that when Berlin arrived in America, he knew not a single word of English. As one writer reported, "there is scarcely a waking moment when Berlin is not engaged either in teaching his songs to a vaudeville player, or composing new ones." Early in his career, Irving Berlin brilliantly exploited the musical trends and influences of the day. Hamm shows how Berlin emerged from the vital and complex social and cultural scene of New York to begin his rise as America's foremost songwriter - CONTENTS: Preface : Irving Berlin and the crucible of God -- Introduction : Irving Berlin and the nature of Tin Pan Alley song -- Berlin's songs for the vaudeville stage -- Berlin and blackface -- Alexander and his band -- Berlin's early songs for the musical stage -- Epilogue -- Appendix 1 : Published songs of Irvin Berlin, 1907-1914 -- Appendix 2 : Unpublished songs by Irving Berlin, before 1915 -- Appendix 3 : Period recordings of early songs by Irving Berlin / compiled by Paul Charosh. 9780195071887 ISBN 0195071883.

Mandler, George, 1924-. Human nature explored. New York: Oxford University Press, 1997, xi, 208pp., very good dust-jacket, very good gray cloth. INSCRIBED briefly With love, and SIGNED George. George Mandler begins with what we know about evolution and gene expression, then moves on to the complex phenomena of consciousness and emotion. The constraints of both nature and nurture are discussed as limiting forces on human development, and natural selection is considered in the context of our social fabric, which draws on both psychological and anthropological knowledge. Mandler considers human difference, particularly in regard to intelligence and gender, and discusses the nature of human values, including our need for morality and freedom. The book concludes with an appraisal of human cognition and language. - CONTENTS: 1. Introduction: Themes, Tasks, and Methods -- 2. Historical and Biological Constraints -- 3. Evolution and the Genetics of Behavior -- 4. Minds, Bodies, and Schemas -- 5. Consciousness -- 6. Emotion -- 7. Values in Human Thought and Action: Origins and Functions -- 8.
