Subliminal- How Your Unconscious Mind Rules Your Behavior

Subliminal: How Your Unconscious Mind Rules Your Behavior - $265

16 May, 2013 by rgonzalezr

  Over the past two decades of neurological research, it has become increasingly clear that the way we experience the world–our perception, behavior, memory, and social judgment–is largely driven by the mind’s subliminal processes and not by the conscious ones, as we have long believed. As in the bestselling The Drunkard’s Walk: How Randomness Rules Our Lives, Leonard Mlodinow employs his signature concise, accessible explanations of the most obscure scientific subjects to unravel the complexities of the subliminal mind. In the […]

Dhalgren delany

Dhalgren - $275

7 May, 2013 by rgonzalezr

In Dhalgren, perhaps one of the most profound and bestselling science fiction novels of all time, Samuel R. Delany has produced a novel “to stand with the best American fiction of the 1970s” (Jonathan Lethem). Bellona is a city at the dead center of the United States. Something has happened there…. The population has fled. Madmen and criminals wander the streets. Strange portents appear in the cloud-covered sky. And into this disaster zone comes a young man–poet, lover, and adventurer–known only as […]

3 May, 2013 by rgonzalezr

  The author of the highly acclaimed novels Jernigan (Pulitzer Prize Finalist) and Preston Falls (National Book Critics Cirlce Award Finalist) offers up a mordantly funny collection of short stories about the faulty bargains we make with ourselves to continure the high-wire act of living meaningful lives in late twentieth-century America.

Nobody’s Perfect: Writings from The New Yorker - $225

20 March, 2013 by rgonzalezr

Anthony Lane on Con Air— “Advance word on Con Air said that it was all about an airplane with an unusually dangerous and potentially lethal load. Big deal. You should try the lunches they serve out of Newark. Compared with the chicken napalm I ate on my last flight, the men in Con Air are about as dangerous as balloons.” Anthony Lane on The Bridges of Madison County— “I got my copy at the airport, behind a guy who was buying Playboy’s Book of Lingerie, and I […]

Everett 5.0

Language: The Cultural Tool – $335

4 December, 2012 by rgonzalezr

  For years, the prevailing opinion among academics has been that language is embedded in our genes, existing as an innate and instinctual part of us. In this bold and provocative study, linguist Daniel Everett argues that, like other tools, language was invented by humans and can be reinvented or lost. He shows how the evolution of different language forms—that is, different grammar—reflects how language is influenced by human societies and experiences, and how it expresses their great variety. Combining […]

A Bomb Built in Hell- Wesley's Story

A Bomb Built in Hell: Wesley’s Story – $260

15 November, 2012 by rgonzalezr

  Andrew Vachss‘ pre-Flood novel A Bomb Built in Hell was written in 1973. It was rejected by every publisher, one of whom described it as a “political horror story,” others of whom berated it for its “lack of realism,” including such things as Chinese youth gangs and the fall of Haiti. And the very idea of someone entering a high school with the intent of destroying every living person inside was just too … ludicrous. Readers of Vachss’ Burke series will immediately […]

The Master and Margarita – $240

7 November, 2012 by rgonzalezr

  Mikhail Bulgakov‘s The Master and Margarita is Burgin/Tiernan O’Connor has given the most complete and accurate translation of this work. There is a commentary section at the end of the text, which is very helpful in understanding what influenced Bulgakov, and is especially helpful if the reader is not familiar with certain aspects of Soviet culture while the book was written (1930‘s). A timeless – an original, brilliant and beautiful novel.

The Sound of Waves – $225

7 November, 2012 by rgonzalezr

Uncle Tungsten- Memories of a Chemical Boyhood

Uncle Tungsten: Memories of a Chemical Boyhood – $225

27 October, 2012 by rgonzalezr

  Long before Oliver Sacks became a distinguished neurologist and bestselling writer, he was a small English boy fascinated by metals–also by chemical reactions (the louder and smellier the better), photography, squids and cuttlefish, H.G. Wells, and the periodic table. In this endlessly charming and eloquent memoir, the author of The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat and Awakenings chronicles his love affair with science and the magnificently odd and sometimes harrowing childhood in which that love affair unfolded. In Uncle Tungsten we meet […]

The Island of the Colorblind

The Island of the Colorblind – $225

27 October, 2012 by rgonzalezr

  “An explorer of that most wondrous of islands, the human brain,” writes D.M. Thomas in The New York Times Book Review, “Oliver Sacks also loves the oceanic kind of islands.” Both kinds figure movingly in this book–part travelogue, part autobiography, part medical mystery story–in which Sacks’s journeys to a tiny Pacific atoll and the island of Guam become explorations of the meaning of islands, the genesis of disease, the wonders of botany, the nature of deep geological time, and the […]

The Anthropology of Turquoise- Reflections on Desert, Sea, Stone, and Sky

The Anthropology of Turquoise: Reflections on Desert, Sea, Stone, and Sky – $215

3 October, 2012 by rgonzalezr

In this invigorating mix of natural history and adventure, artist-naturalist Ellen Meloy uses turquoise—the color and the gem—to probe deeper into our profound human attachment to landscape. From the Sierra Nevada, the Mojave Desert, the Yucatan Peninsula, and the Bahamas to her home ground on the high plateaus and deep canyons of the Southwest, we journey with Meloy through vistas of both great beauty and great desecration. Her keen vision makes us look anew at ancestral mountains, turquoise seas, and […]

1Q84- 3 Volume Boxed Set (Vintage International)

1Q84: 3 Volume Boxed Set – $395

18 September, 2012 by rgonzalezr

This deluxe three-volume paperback boxed set—gorgeously designed editions in a see-through case, with a removeable sticker on the shrink wrap packaging—is a collector’s item in the making. It beautifully showcases Haruki Murakami’s most ambitious novel yet, 1Q84—a love story, a mystery, a fantasy, a dystopia to rival George Orwell’s. The year is 1984 and the city is Tokyo. A young woman named Aomame follows a taxi driver’s enigmatic suggestion and begins to notice puzzling discrepancies in the world around her. She […]
