Hardback. New. A sucker is still born every minute. In this modern and interconnected world, con-men are lurking everywhere - it's never been easier for them to dupe us, take from us, and infiltrate our lives. One of the world's leading and celebrated experts on con-games takes the reader through the history of cons, how they've been updated to the modern age, how they work, how to spot them, and how to protect yourself from being the victim of one.R. Paul Wilson is a con-man who works for the other side - our side. He has spent a lifetime learning, performing, studying, and teaching about the ins and outs of the con world in order to open up our eyes to the dangers lurking about us - and to show us how not to get taken. Paul has never made a living as a con-man, profiting off of marks - he has used his expertise throughout his life to help people avoid cons.In this fascinating book, Paul takes the reader through the history and developments of the con game, what elements from the past are based on basic human psychology and have stood the test of time, what has been updated for the modern era and how it's getting used in the computer age, the structure of how these cons work, and - most importantly - how to recognize one, protect yourself and your loved ones, and avoid becoming just another sucker., 6, New York, New York, U.S.A. : Penguin Press, 2013. 1st Edition 1st Printing. Hardcover. Fine/Fine. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. In COOKED, Michael Pollan explores the previously uncharted territory of his own kitchen. Here, he discovers the enduring power of the four classical elements - fire, water, air, and earth - to transform the stuff of nature into delicious things to eat and drink. Apprenticing himself to a succession of culinary masters, Pollan learns how to grill with fire, cook with liquid, bake bread, and ferment everything from cheese to beer. In the course of his journey, he discovers that the cook occupies a special place in the world, standing squarely between nature and culture. Both realms are transformed by cooking, and so, in the process, is the cook. Each section of COOKED tracks Pollan's effort to master a single classic recipe using one of the four elements. A North Carolina barbecue pit master tutors him in the primal magic of fire; a Chez Panisse-trained cook schools him in the art of braising; a celebrated baker teaches him how air transforms grain and water into a fragrant loaf of bread; and finally, several mad-genius "fermentos" (a tribe that includes brewers, cheese makers, and all kinds of picklers) reveal how fungi and bacteria can perform the most amazing alchemies of all. The listener learns alongside Pollan, but the lessons move beyond the practical to become an investigation of how cooking involves us in a web of social and ecological relationships: with plants and animals, the soil, farmers, our history and culture, and, of course, the people our cooking nourishes and delights. Cooking, above all, connects us. The effects of not cooking are similarly far reaching. Relying upon corporations to process our food means we consume huge quantities of fat, sugar, and salt; disrupt an essential link to the natural world; and weaken our relationships with family and friends. In fact, COOKED argues, taking back control of cooking may be the single most important step anyone can take to help make the American food system healthier and more sustainable. Reclaiming cooking as an act of enjoyment and self-reliance, learning to perform the magic of these everyday transformations, opens the door to a more nourishing life.

True First Edition . Side-Stapled Wraps. Very Good Plus. 10.5" x 16. A challenging contemporary piano trio. Notes from the composer's website: "The Piano Trio entitled 'Troisti muziki' stands apart in Vladimir Tarnopolsky's creative work. Written in a free folk improvisatory manner, this trio in its style combines in equal measure folklore and minimal music, i.e. what is quite alien to the composer in general. The piano is prepared a la cymbals with the help of pencils placed on its strings, with the string players seeming to be engaged in amateur music-making. In his remarks to this piece the composer writes: 'The pressure of the bow onto the string should be so light as to make it possible to discern overtones along with the clear-cut tones.' His instructions stipulate that the musicians are to play on the bridge, sul ponticello arising as if by chance, with the musician's finger suddenly slipping into the wrong octave; all such devices are taken into consideration: "The score provides for all the details as regards the musical material. Nevertheless, the musicians should give an impression as if they were grouping for their way; this composition is just a draft, opus non finita". It starts with a long tuning up of the strings, imperceptibly becoming part of the music, then recurring again. By the end of this trio the violin is changed for the viola and tuned up. In the finale the instrumentalists along with their playing sing in simple voices "Hymn to Christian Poverty" by Grigorij Skovoroda, the Ukrainian 18th-century philosopher and poet. The profound symbolic message of this hymn lies in that poverty is one of the key philosophical concepts in the Orthodox teaching: "Oh poverty, the heaven gift! You are cherished by any sacred and honest person". 21 pages (All should play from a full score copy, I suspect.) CONDITION: a bright, solid copy with light shelf-wear, one bumped corner, a small tape-repaired tear at the spine top, a touch of sunning (around the cover edges), unmarked but for a small inked catalogue (?) number on the back cover - now in a clear, protective polypropylene bag with archival backing board. NOTE: multiple score orders, depending on weight, may qualify for a generous shipping charge reduction., Self-Published, 1989, 3, " This book is an extension of Flatpickin' the Gospels by Steve Kaufman with autoharp arrangements written by Carol Stober.
