by Rappaport, Helen

Shakespeare
by Bryson, Bill       
(Paperback - English - 9780061673696)

Inventing the It Girl: How Elinor Glyn Created the Modern Romance and Conquered Early Hollywood
by Hallett, Hilary A.       
(Hardcover - English - 9781631490699)
Unlike typical romances, which end with wedding bells, Elinor Glyn's (1864-1943) story really began after her marriage up the social ladder and into the English gentry class in 1892. Born in the Channel Islands, Elinor Sutherland, like most Victorian women, aspired only to a good match. But when her husband, Clayton Glyn, gambled their fortune away, she turned to her pen and boldly challenged the era's sexually straightjacketed literary code with her notorious succes de scandale, Three Weeks (1907). An intensely erotic tale about an unhappily married woman's sexual education of her young lover, the novel got Glyn banished from high society but went on to sell m ..

by Nagorski, Andrew       
(Hardcover - English - 9781982172831)

In March 1938, German soldiers crossed the border into Austria and Hitler absorbed the country into the Third Reich. Anticipating these events, many Jews had fled Austria, but the most famous Austrian Jew remained in Vienna, where he had lived since early childhood. Sigmund Freud was eighty-one years old, ill with cancer, and still unconvinced that his life was in danger. But several prominent people close to Freud thought otherwise, and they began a coordinated effort to persuade Freud to leave his ..

A Wild Idea
by Franklin, Jonathan       
(Hardcover - English - 9780062964120)
In 1991, Doug Tompkins abandoned his comfortable life in San Francisco and flew 6,500 miles south to a shack in Patagonia. Instead of the Golden Gate Bridge, Tompkins stared out the window at Volcano Michinmahuida, blanketed in snow and prowled by mountain lions. Shielded by waterfalls and wilderness, the founder of such groundbreaking companies as Esprit and The North Face suddenly regretted the corporate capitalism from which he had profited from years. As a CEO he had caused much pollution and, "made things nobody needed." Now, he declared, it was time to reverse the damage to the planet, and maybe even himself.

Riding Rockets: The Outrageous Tales of a Space Shuttle Astronaut
by Mullane, Mike       
(Paperback - English - 9780743276832)
In 1978, the first group of space shuttle astronauts was introduced to the world -- twenty-nine men and six women who would carry NASA through the most tumultuous years of the space shuttle program. Among them was USAF Colonel Mike Mullane, who, in his memoir Riding Rockets, strips the heroic veneer from the astronaut corps and paints them as they are -- human. Mullane's tales of arrested development among military flyboys working with feminist pioneers and post-doc scientists are sometimes bawdy, often comical, and always entertaining. He vividly portrays every aspect of the astronaut experience, from telling a female technician which urine-collection condo ..

Wesley the Owl: The Remarkable Love Story of an Owl and His Girl
by O'Brien, Stacey       
(Paperback - English - 9781416551775)
On Valentine's Day 1985, biologist Stacey O'Brien adopted Wesley, a baby barn owl with an injured wing who could not have survived in the wild. Over the next nineteen years, O'Brien studied Wesley's strange habits with both a tender heart and a scientist's eye--and provided a mice-only diet that required her to buy the rodents in bulk (28,000 over the owl's lifetime). She watched him turn from a helpless fluff ball into an avid com-municator with whom she developed a language all their own. Eventually he became a gorgeous, gold-and-white macho adult with a heart-shaped face who preened in the mir-ror and objected to visits by any other males to "his" house. O'B ..

A. A. Fischer's St. Louis Streetscapes
by Hamilton, Nancy Moore       
(Hardcover - English - 9798985571622)
The first biography of an unsung St. Louis builder. Though few people in contemporary St. Louis likely know his name, it's indisputable that builder A. A. Fischer left an indelible mark on the city's residential architecture. Between 1894 and 1929, Fischer was responsible for the construction of more than three hundred houses and apartment buildings in St. Louis and nearby University City, Missouri. His trademark was the broken frieze, whose wreaths and swags descend into the spaces between the upper-story windows, rather than extending straight across the façade below the cornice, as is traditional. Today, you can still see homes and commercial buildings acr ..
