Hardcover, Lectorum Pubns Inc
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'El Silmarillion'Book summary:El Silmarillion es el cuerpo central de los textos narrativos de J.R.R. Tolkien, una obra que no pudo publicar en vida porque creció unto con él. Tolkien comenzó a escribirlo mucho antes que El Hobbit, obra concebida como historia independiente, pero que fue parte de lo que él llamaba un "tema que copia y se ramifica", y del que emergió El Señor de los Anillos.El Silmarillion cuenta la historia de la Primera Edad, el antiguo drama del que hablan los personajes de El Señor de los Anillos, y en cuyos acontecimientos algunos de ellos tomaron parte, como Elrond y Galadriel.Los tres Silmarils eran gemas creadas por Fëanor, el más dotado de los Elfos, y contenían la Luz de los Dos Árboles de Valinor antes que los Árboles mismos fueran destruidos por Morgoth, el primer Señor Oscuro. Desde entonces la inmaculada Luz de Valinor vivió sólo en los Silmarils, pero Morgoth se apoderó de ellos, y los engarzó en su corona, guardada en la fortaleza impenetrable de Angband en el norte de la Tierra Media.En este volumen se incluyen otras obras cortas, como el Ainulindalë o la Música de los Ainur, la creación mítica del mundo, y el Valaquenta, sobre la naturaleza y poderes de los dioses. A El Silmarillion sigue el Akallabeth, que vuelve a narrar la caída del reino de Númenor al fin de la Segunda Edad, y por último la historia De los Anillos del Poder, en la que el tema de El Señor de los Anillos reaparece en la perspectiva más amplia de El Silmarillion.El Silmarillion no es una novela, ni un cuento de hadas, ni una historia ficticia. Podría definirse como una obra de imaginación inspirada, una visión sombría, legendaria o mítica, del interminable conflicto entre el deseo de poder y la capacidad de crear. [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'The Kodansha Kanji Learner's Dictionary'Book summary:The Kodansha Kanji Learner's Dictionary answers the urgent need for an easy-to-use kanji dictionary compact enough to be easily carried around, yet detailed enough to satisfy the practical needs of the beginning and intermediate learner.
Its basic goal is to give the learner a thorough understanding of kanji by providing instant access to a wealth of useful information on the meanings, readings, and compounds. Normally, the learner must memorize numerous compounds as unrelated units. A unique feature of this dictionary that overcomes this difficulty is the core meaning, a concise keyword that defines the dominant sense of each character, followed by detailed character meanings and numerous compounds that clearly show how thousands of building blocks are combined to form countless compound words.
Another unique feature is the System of Kanji Indexing by Patterns (SKIP), an indexing system that enables the user to locate characters as quickly and as accurately as in alphabetical dictionaries.
Modern linguistic theory has been effectively integrated with sophisticated information technology to produce the most useful kanji learner's dictionary ever compiled. For the first time, learners have at their fingertips a wealth of information that is linguistically accurate, easy to use, and carefully adapted to their practical needs.
FEATURES
o 2,230 entry characters, including all the kanji in the Joyo and Jinmei Kanji lists
o 41,000 senses for 31,300 words and word elements show how each character contributes to the meanings of compounds
o 1,200 homophones with core meanings explain differences between closely related characters
o 386 variant forms used in prewar literature and in names
o 1,945 stroke order diagrams show you how to write each kanji stroke by stroke
o 7,200 character readings, including name readings
o Over 2,000 cross-references and five appendixes give instant access to a mass of useful reference data [via]More editions of The Kodansha Kanji Learner's Dictionary:

Making Sense of Japanese: What the Textbooks Don't Tell Youby Jay RubinISBN 4770028024 (4-7700-2802-4)
Softcover, Kodansha Amer Inc
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Making Sense of Japanese: What the Textbooks Don't Tell You'Book summary:Making Sense of Japanese is the fruit of one foolhardy American's thirty-year struggle to learn and teach the Language of the Infinite. Previously known as Gone Fishin', this book has brought Jay Rubin more feedback than any of his literary translations or scholarly tomes, "even if," he says, "you discount the hate mail from spin-casters and the stray gill-netter."
To convey his conviction that "the Japanese language is not vague," Rubin has dared to explain how some of the most challenging Japanese grammatical forms work in terms of everyday English. Reached recently at a recuperative center in the hills north of Kyoto, Rubin declared, "I'm still pretty sure that Japanese is not vague. Or at least, it's not as vague as it used to be. Probably."
The notorious "subjectless sentence" of Japanese comes under close scrutiny in Part One. A sentence can't be a sentence without a subject, so even in cases where the subject seems to be lost or hiding, the author provides the tools to help you find it. Some attention is paid as well to the rest of the sentence, known technically to grammarians as "the rest of the sentence."
Part Two tackles a number of expressions that have baffled students of Japanese over the decades, and concludes with Rubin's patented technique of analyzing upside-down Japanese sentences right-side up, which, he claims, is "far more restful" than the traditional way, inside-out.
"The scholar," according to the great Japanese novelist Soseki Natsume, is "one who specializes in making the comprehensible incomprehensible." Despite his best scholarly efforts, Rubin seems to have done just the opposite.
Previously published in the Power Japanese series under the same title and originally as Gone Fishin' in the same series. [via]More editions of Making Sense of Japanese: What the Textbooks Don't Tell You:

› Find signed collectible books: 'The Prince'Book summary:Written in 1513 for the Medici, following their return to power in Florence, The Prince is a handbook on ruling and the exercise of power. It remains as relevant today as it was in the sixteenth century. Widely quoted in the Press and in academic publications, The Prince has direct relevance to the issues of business and corporate governance confronting global corporations as they enter a new millennium. Much of what Machiavelli wrote has become the common currency of realpolitik, yet still his ideas retain the power to shock and annoy.

Silmarillionby J. R. R. Tolkien, Christopher TolkienISBN 8445071394 (84-450-7139-4)
Softcover, Minotauro Ediciones Avd
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Silmarillion'Book summary:El Silmarillion es el cuerpo central de los textos narrativos de J.R.R. Tolkien, una obra que no pudo publicar en vida porque creció unto con él. Tolkien comenzó a escribirlo mucho antes que El Hobbit, obra concebida como historia independiente, pero que fue parte de lo que él llamaba un "tema que copia y se ramifica", y del que emergió El Señor de los Anillos.El Silmarillion cuenta la historia de la Primera Edad, el antiguo drama del que hablan los personajes de El Señor de los Anillos, y en cuyos acontecimientos algunos de ellos tomaron parte, como Elrond y Galadriel.Los tres Silmarils eran gemas creadas por Fëanor, el más dotado de los Elfos, y contenían la Luz de los Dos Árboles de Valinor antes que los Árboles mismos fueran destruidos por Morgoth, el primer Señor Oscuro. Desde entonces la inmaculada Luz de Valinor vivió sólo en los Silmarils, pero Morgoth se apoderó de ellos, y los engarzó en su corona, guardada en la fortaleza impenetrable de Angband en el norte de la Tierra Media.En este volumen se incluyen otras obras cortas, como el Ainulindalë o la Música de los Ainur, la creación mítica del mundo, y el Valaquenta, sobre la naturaleza y poderes de los dioses. A El Silmarillion sigue el Akallabeth, que vuelve a narrar la caída del reino de Númenor al fin de la Segunda Edad, y por último la historia De los Anillos del Poder, en la que el tema de El Señor de los Anillos reaparece en la perspectiva más amplia de El Silmarillion.El Silmarillion no es una novela, ni un cuento de hadas, ni una historia ficticia. Podría definirse como una obra de imaginación inspirada, una visión sombría, legendaria o mítica, del interminable conflicto entre el deseo de poder y la capacidad de crear. [via]

Simple & Directby Jacques BarzunISBN 0060937238 (0-06-093723-8)
Softcover, Quill
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Simple & Direct'Book summary:Rare is the book that causes one to consider--ponder? appraise? examine? inspect? contemplate?--one's every word. Simple & Direct, a classic text on the craft of writing by the educator Jacques Barzun, does so--with style. His object, says Barzun, is "to resensitize the mind to words." Do not use a word unless you know both its meaning and its connotations, its "quality" and its "atmosphere," and the ways in which it joins with other words. Barzun is an exacting taskmaster, railing against abstractions, "fancy" wordings, contemporary slang (which "prey[s] upon the vocabulary rather than nourish[es] it"), misprints ("it is rudeness to let them appear"), and the like. He bemoans what he sees as "a fury at work in the people to make war on hyphens," and he loathes those new words, such as condominium, that have been "cobbled together out of shavings and leftovers."
Still, no stodgy codger he. Barzun merely asks that you "have a point and make it by means of the best word." If that means splitting an infinitive or substituting a "which" for a "that," so be it. Just be sure that the decision to do so is conscious and informed. Once you've found the right word, you can move on to writing sentences and then leaning them against one another until they form paragraphs. Only when you've gotten it all down, says Barzun, should you allow yourself the pleasure of revision. "Unlike the sculptor," he says, "the writer can start carving and enjoying himself only after he has dug the marble out of his own head." --Jane Steinberg [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'The Simpsons Forever!: A Complete Guide to Our Favorite Family Continued'Book summary:Viewers who acknowledge The Simpsons as one of the best shows ever to hit television are doubtless already proud owners of The Simpsons: A Complete Guide to Our Favorite Family. But since the show is still in production, that guide is no longer complete. And can you really live a second longer without a full list of last season's blackboard inscriptions? Simpsons creator Matt Groening and editor Scott M. Gimple come to the rescue with The Simpsons Forever! A Complete Guide to Our Favorite Family--Continued. It's an exhaustive list of all the episodes of the ninth and tenth seasons, including screen shots, dialogue highlights (Moe, packing for Hawaii: "Ukulele, pineapples, beach pistol, scandalously revealing thong"), and "Stuff You May Have Missed," such as the fact that the motto of In 'n' Out Ear Piercing is "If It Dangles, We'll Punch a Hole in It." There are also brief bios of guest characters (Señor Ding Dong hates Chevy vans), song lyrics (Marge and Homer's version of "Those Were the Days"), and a fond-without-being-icky tribute to Troy McClure. The truly obsessed will welcome the lists: every couch gag of the past two seasons, which actors do which voices, and every single time Homer has said "D'Oh!" for the past two years. The Simpsons Forever does a terrific job of catching the humor and spirit of a truly great show. --Ali Davis [via]

Taking Charge of Your Fertility: The Definitive Guide to Natural Birth Control and Pregnancy Achievementby Toni WeschlerISBN 0060394064 (0-06-039406-4)
Hardcover, HarperCollins Publishers
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Taking Charge of Your Fertility: The Definitive Guide to Natural Birth Control and Pregnancy Achievement'Book summary:This comprehensive book explains in lucid, assured terms how to practice the fertility awareness method (FAM), a natural, scientifically proven but little-known form of birth control (which is not to be confused with the woefully ineffective "rhythm" method). Author Toni Weschler has been teaching fertility awareness for almost 20 years, and it's only just now gaining in popularity. As the book explains, by using simple fertility signs including peaks in morning body temperature and changes in cervical position and cervical mucus, it's possible to determine when ovulation is taking place. Fertility awareness is therefore useful for not only couples who are trying to conceive, but for those who are aiming to avoid pregnancy without the use of chemical contraceptives. It will be of special interest to those women who have suffered from infertility; many FAM practitioners have told the author that by filling in the detailed charts in the book, they've realized that they were chronically miscarrying, even when their doctors told them they weren't conceiving at all. As the book explains, by charting body temperature, it's simple to tell when pregnancy has occurred--and when there's danger of miscarriage. Taking Charge of Your Fertility also explains how to choose the sex of your baby by timing intercourse according to certain fertility signs. It also features thorough, easy-to-understand explanations of hormones, the menstrual cycle, and menopause, along with fertility tests and treatments and their long- and short-term side effects, plus a topnotch resource section. Recommended for any woman who wants to better understand her body. --Erica Jorgensen [via]

World's Religions: Our Great Wisdom Traditionsby Huston SmithISBN 0062508113 (0-06-250811-3)
Softcover, Harpercollins
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'The World's Religions: Our Great Wisdom Traditions'Book summary:The World's Religions, by Huston Smith, has been a standard introduction to its eponymous subject since its first publication in 1958. Smith writes humbly, forswearing judgment on the validity of world religions. His introduction asks, "How does it all sound from above? Like bedlam, or do the strains blend in strange, ethereal harmony? ... We cannot know. All we can do is try to listen carefully and with full attention to each voice in turn as it addresses the divine. Such listening defines the purpose of this book." His criteria for inclusion and analysis of religions in this book are "relevance to the modern mind" and "universality," and his interest in each religion is more concerned with its principles than its context. Therefore, he avoids cataloging the horrors and crimes of which religions have been accused, and he attempts to show each "at their best." Yet The World's Religions is no pollyannaish romp: "It is about religion alive," Huston writes. "It calls the soul to the highest adventure it can undertake, a proposed journey across the jungles, peaks, and deserts of the human spirit. The call is to confront reality." And by translating the voices of Hinduism, Buddhism, Islam, Confucianism, Christianity, and Judaism, among others, Smith has amplified the divine call for generations of readers. --Michael Joseph Gross [via]

De Principatibus: Le Princeby Niccolo Machiavelli, Giorgio Inglese, Jean-Louis Fournel, Jean-Claude ZancariniISBN 2130505309 (2-13-050530-9)
Hardcover, Presses universitaires de France
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'De Principatibus: Le Prince'Book summary:Dédié à Laurent de Médicis, Le Prince est une oeuvre nourrie par l'expérience d'ambassadeur de son auteur. Machiavel y définit les fins du gouvernement : sur le plan extérieur, maintenir à tout prix son emprise sur les territoires conquis ; sur le plan intérieur, se donner les moyens de rester au pouvoir. Parce que les hommes sont égoïstes, le prince n'est pas tenu d'être moral. Il doit être craint en évitant de se faire haïr par le peuple.
La réduction de Machiavel au machiavélisme est cependant trop simpliste. On peut même lire Le Prince comme une des premières oeuvres de science politique, l'auteur ne cherchant qu'à décrire les mécanismes du pouvoir, à la manière du physicien qui détermine les lois de la gravitation. Rousseau ou encore Spinoza ont même pensé que Le Prince s'adressait en vérité au peuple pour l'avertir des stratégies utilisées par les tyrans.
Oeuvre géniale dans son ambiguïté, Le Prince peut donc être lu soit comme un traité de gouvernement à l'usage du despote, soit comme un ouvrage de science, voire comme une critique déguisée du despotisme. --Paul Klein [via]
