Cumberland Island: Strong Women, Wild Horsesby Charles SeabrookISBN 0895872676 (0-89587-267-6)
Hardcover, John F Blair Pub
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Cumberland Island: Strong Women, Wild Horses'Book summary:In September 1996, Cumberland Island blasted on to the national news scene when it was revealed that John Kennedy, Jr., and Carolyn Bessette were married on the island in the First African Baptist Church--a simple one-room frame structure with eight handmade pews. When the flotilla of writers and photographers arrived on the island a few days later only to find themselves itching, sweating, and swatting at pestiferous gnats and bloodthirsty mosquitoes, they wondered why such a worldly and sophisticated couple had chosen such a tick-infested spot.
But the newlyweds were not the first to discover the mystique of Georgia's southernmost barrier island. Although the paparazzi may not have been enchanted with Cumberland Island, others felt differently. Town & Country described this paradise as a place where "time seems to have stood still. It all evokes a sense of serenity and oneness with nature that is restorative." Elle said, "Cumberland is . . . an inspiration . . . From the monumental beach, where you can fly your spirit like a kite, to the shady mysteries of the forest, bearded with Spanish moss and alive with the cacophony of tree frogs at dawn, it is a place of captivating wonder." According to Southern Living, "This place is a fairy tale. The thickets of cabbage palm and resurrection fern, the roads of crushed oyster shell, the whinnies of wild horses floating on breezes, all sustain the soul mightily."
In Cumberland Island, Charles Seabrook uses his talent as an award-winning environmental writer to describe the island's natural bounty and to tell its long and intriguing history. Cumberland Island resembles a nonfiction version of a James Michener novel. The characters themselves are stranger than fiction, much in the same vein as those found in John Berendt's Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil.
In Cumberland Island, you'll meet Catherine "Caty" Greene Miller, the widow of Revolutionary War hero Nathanael Greene and the woman who inspired Eli Whitney to invent the cotton gin. She was also the inspiration behind Dungeness, the 30-room tabby mansion built on Cumberland Island in 1803.
You'll meet Robert Stafford, who sent his six children born to a slave named Zabette to live in an imposing home in New England, where they became part of the white high society there. All of his daughters married well, including one who wed a Russian count in Notre Dame.
There's Thomas and Lucy Carnegie, who used their Pittsburgh steel fortune to purchase acreage on the island. In 1885, they completed their mansion, which was built on the ruins of Caty Miller's home. A year later, Thomas died at age 43, but Lucy remained on the island to raise her nine children. Lucy Carnegie's granddaughter, "Miss Lucy" Ferguson, who many consider the toughest and orneriest of all the strong women who inhabited the island, reigned over the island during the 1960s and 1970s. The present-day generation is represented by Janet "GoGo" Ferguson, Miss Lucy's granddaughter, who made the arrangements for the Kennedy-Bessette wedding and crafted their wedding rings as well.
Another strong woman who currently resides on the island is Carol Ruckdeschel, a naturalist who was the subject of a John McPhee profile in the New Yorker in 1974. GoGo Ferguson and Carol were great friends until they disagreed on the future of the island. Their ensuing feud reveals the continuing debate among residents, conservationists, and developers about how the island should be managed.
In Cumberland Island, Charles Seabrook provides a fascinating look into the history of one of America's greatest natural treasures. [via]

Emmaby Jane Austen, Stephen Maxfield ParrishISBN 0895775824 (0-89577-582-4)
Hardcover, Reader's Digest Assoc
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Emma'Book summary:Of all Jane Austen's heroines, Emma Woodhouse is the most flawed, the most infuriating, and, in the end, the most endearing. Pride and Prejudice's Lizzie Bennet has more wit and sparkle; Catherine Morland in Northanger Abbey more imagination; and Sense and Sensibility's Elinor Dashwood certainly more sense--but Emma is lovable precisely because she is so imperfect. Austen only completed six novels in her lifetime, of which five feature young women whose chances for making a good marriage depend greatly on financial issues, and whose prospects if they fail are rather grim. Emma is the exception: "Emma Woodhouse, handsome, clever, and rich, with a comfortable home and happy disposition seemed to unite some of the best blessings of existence; and had lived nearly twenty-one years in the world with very little to distress or vex her." One may be tempted to wonder what Austen could possibly find to say about so fortunate a character. The answer is, quite a lot.
For Emma, raised to think well of herself, has such a high opinion of her own worth that it blinds her to the opinions of others. The story revolves around a comedy of errors: Emma befriends Harriet Smith, a young woman of unknown parentage, and attempts to remake her in her own image. Ignoring the gaping difference in their respective fortunes and stations in life, Emma convinces herself and her friend that Harriet should look as high as Emma herself might for a husband--and she zeroes in on an ambitious vicar as the perfect match. At the same time, she reads too much into a flirtation with Frank Churchill, the newly arrived son of family friends, and thoughtlessly starts a rumor about poor but beautiful Jane Fairfax, the beloved niece of two genteelly impoverished elderly ladies in the village. As Emma's fantastically misguided schemes threaten to surge out of control, the voice of reason is provided by Mr. Knightly, the Woodhouse's longtime friend and neighbor. Though Austen herself described Emma as "a heroine whom no one but myself will much like," she endowed her creation with enough charm to see her through her most egregious behavior, and the saving grace of being able to learn from her mistakes. By the end of the novel Harriet, Frank, and Jane are all properly accounted for, Emma is wiser (though certainly not sadder), and the reader has had the satisfaction of enjoying Jane Austen at the height of her powers. --Alix Wilber [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'First in Flight: The Wright Brothers in North Carolina'Book summary:When Wilbur and Orville Wright arrived on North Carolina's Outer Banks in the year 1900, they were unknown bicycle mechanics who dreamed of powered flight. Even after they achieved the first heavier-than-air, powered flight in the dunes of Kill Devil Hills on December 17, 1903, they remained obscure. But by the time of Orville's last flights on the Outer Banks in 1911, they were two of the most famous men of the twentieth century. In First in Flight , author Stephen Kirk describes in marvelous detail the undeniable influence that the landscape and people of the Outer Banks had on the Wright brothers' quest for flight and, in turn, the lasting effect that the Wright brothers' success had on this once-desolate region. 314 pages.

Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Programming the Z80'Book summary:Programming the Z80 has been designed as an educational text and as a self-contained reference book. As such, it can be used as a complete introductory book on programming, ranging from the basic concepts to advanced data structure manipulations. It also contains a comprehensive description of all the Z80 instructions as well as its internal operation, and should provide a comprehensive reference for the reader who is already familiar with the principles of programming, but wishes to learn the Z80. This book is the result of extensive experience by the author in the field of education and programming. As such, it has been designed to be clear and easy to read. All concepts are explained in simple yet precise terms, building progressively towards more complex techniques. The reader will gain not only an understanding of programming in the language of the Z80 but also a detailed understanding of the way a microprocessor such as the Z80 actually executes instructions. The reader will follow the flow of execution between the various registers and along the buses. This is indispensible for effective programming at machine level in the world of microprocessors. Because programming is not just the skill of coding an algorithm into a programming language but also the art of designing appropriate data structures, an extensive chapter on data structures is presented which both introduces the concepts and actual application programs. The reader will find there lists, tables, binary trees, and the required algorithms. After reading this book, the reader should have acquired all the basic skills required to program not just at the elementary level, but in most practical cases. [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Sister Outsider: Essays and Speeches'Book summary:Presenting the essential writings of black lesbian poet and feminist writer Audre Lorde, SISTER OUTSIDER celebrates an influential voice in twentieth-century literature. In this charged collection of fifteen essays and speeches, Lorde takes on sexism, racism, ageism, homophobia, and class, and propounds social difference as a vehicle for action and change. Her prose is incisive, unflinching, and lyrical, reflecting struggle but ultimately offering messages of hope. This commemorative edition includes a new foreword by Lorde scholar and poet Cheryl Clarke, who celebrates the ways in which Lorde's philosophies resonate more than twenty years after they were first published. These landmark writings are, in Lorde's own words, a call to never close our eyes to the terror, to the chaos which is Black which is creative which is female which is dark which is rejected which is messy which is. . . .
Reviews"...it's been almost a quarter of a century since Audre Lorde's essays and speeches in Sister Outsider made an indelible mark on 20th-century literature. But the words of the black lesbian feminist poet seem as lyrical and unforgettable, and, sadly, as relevant today as when she first tackled everything from racism and homophobia to ageism and class dichotomies. A must-have book that every lesbian should read."Curve Editor's Pick Lorde was a brilliant feminist poet and intellectual whose theories on the power of embracing our internal contradictions as well as the differences between people and groups is the way to powerful coalition building and social progress. New York Post, Sunday Poet and librarian Lorde collected 15 of her finest essays and speeches in this 1984 volume. With her poet's command of language, she addresses sexism, racism, black women, black lesbians, eroticism, and more. Still powerful. Library Journal, Starred Review Audre Lorde is a passionate sage. I say is' and not was' because her keen insights continue to provoke and sustain us and give us courage. The reissue of this book is a gift to longtime admirers and to new readers who have yet to discover the power and grace and splendid audacity of Audre Lorde. Valerie Miner, author of After Eden and professor of feminist studies at Stanford University [Lorde's] works will be important to those truly interested in growing up sensitive, intelligent, and aware.
