As new condition black boards with silver spine lettering contained in an as new condition non price-clipped color photographic dust jacket. Includes Author Dedication; Acknowledgments; and A Note About the Author. "Gripping. Fox masterfully conveys the exhilaration and loneliness of life undercover, and her memoir reads like a great espionage novle." -- Publishers Weekly (starred review). "Extraordinary. [A] remarkable life. Fox engagingly -- and transparently -- describes her work as an undercover agent for the CIA." -- Kirkus Reviews. "Amaryllis Fox's riveting memoir tells the story of her training and deployment in the most elite clandestine operations unit in the CIA, her eight years hunting the world's most dangerous terrorists in sixteen countries, and her marriage and the birth of her first daughter, all while working undercover. As the book opens, Amaryllis is alone, navigating the back alleys of Karachi as she prepares to negotiate with terrorists to avoid deployment of a nuclear device. How, the reader wonders, did she come to be here, in a dark room in Pakistan, surrounded by men who could jus as easily kill her as cooperate with her requests? After studying international law and theology as an undergraduate at Oxford, Amaryllis enrolled at Georgetown, where she created an algorithm that predicted the likelihood that a terrorist cell could erupt anywhere in the world. At twenty-one, she was recruited by the CIA. Her first job was analyzing hundreds of classified cables a day and assembling them for inclusion in the president's daily brief. Her next was at the Iraq desk in the Counterterrorism Center, where she worlked to locate prisoners kidnapped by al Qa'ida; a year later she was working to keep weapons of mass destruction out of the hands of terrorists, flying all over the world, debriefing detainees, and negotiating with arms dealers to buy chemical and biological weapons on the global black market. After completing the most demanding espionage training on earth, she was deployed as a spy under nonofficial cover to infiltrate terrorist networks in the most remote areas of North Africa, Southeast Asia, and the Middle East. Life Undercoveer is astonishing, exhilarating, impossible to put down -- an extraordinary record of a life of service and passion and almost unfathomable courage. It is also an intimate, raw, deeply layered memoir about marriage, motherhood, and life's work. A must-read memoir from an immensely gifted new writer." -- from the inner front jacket flap.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -From the internationally best-selling author of Purge and When the Doves Disappeared, a spellbinding new novel set in present-day Helsinki, about a young woman with a fantastical secret who is trying to solve the mystery of her mother's death.When Anita Naakka jumps in front of an oncoming train, her daughter, Norma, is left alone with the secret they have spent their lives hiding: Norma has supernatural hair, sensitive to the slightest changes in her mood--and the moods of those around her--moving of its own accord, corkscrewing when danger is near. And so it is her hair that alerts her, while she talks with a strange man at her mother's funeral, that her mother may not have taken her own life. Setting out to reconstruct Anita's final months--sifting through puzzling cell phone records, bank statements, video files--Norma begins to realize that her mother knew more about her hair's powers than she let on: a sinister truth beyond Norma's imagining. As Sofi Oksanen leads us ever more deeply into Norma's world, weaving together past and present, she gives us a dark family drama that is a searing portrait of both the exploitation of women's bodies and the extremes to which people will go for the sake of beauty. 320 pp. Englisch.

As haunting a postapocalyptic universe as Cormac McCarthy [created] in The Road, and as devastating a look as the fallout that national events have on an American family as Philip Roth did in The Plot Against America. . . . Omar El Akkad's debut novel, American War, is an unlikely mash-up of unsparing war reporting and plot elements familiar to readers of the recent young-adult dystopian series The Hunger Games and Divergent.'-Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times An audacious and powerful debut novel: a second American Civil War, a devastating plague, and one family caught deep in the middle-a story that asks what might happen if America were to turn its most devastating policies and deadly weapons upon itself. Sarat Chestnut, born in Louisiana, is only six when the Second American Civil War breaks out in 2074. But even she knows that oil is outlawed, that Louisiana is half underwater, and that unmanned drones fill the sky. When her father is killed and her family is forced into Camp Patience for displaced persons, she begins to grow up shaped by her particular time and place. But not everyone at Camp Patience is who they claim to be. Eventually Sarat is befriended by a mysterious functionary, under whose influence she is turned into a deadly instrument of war. The decisions that she makes will have tremendous consequences not just for Sarat but for her family and her country, rippling through generations of strangers and kin alike.

Octavo; hardcover; 514pp., untrimmed, with 8pp. of full-colour plates and many monochrome illustrations. Dustwrapper. Remainder. New. Postage quoted is for a standard format octavo book. Final charges may vary depending on size and weight. From Pulitzer Prize-winning architectural critic Paul Goldberger: an engaging, nuanced exploration of the life and work of Frank Gehry, undoubtedly the most famous architect of our time. This first full-fledged critical biography presents and evaluates the work of a man who has almost single-handedly transformed contemporary architecture in his innovative use of materials, design, and form, and who is among the very few architects in history to be both respected by critics as a creative, cutting-edge force and embraced by the general public as a popular figure. "Building Art" shows the full range of Gehry's work, from early houses constructed of plywood and chain-link fencing to lamps made in the shape of fish to the triumphant success of such late projects as the spectacular art museum of glass in Paris. It tells the story behind Gehry's own house, which upset his neighbors and excited the world with its mix of the traditional and the extraordinary, and recounts how Gehry came to design the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, Spain, his remarkable structure of swirling titanium that changed a declining city into a destination spot. "Building Art" also explains Gehry's sixteen-year quest to complete Walt Disney Concert Hall, the beautiful, acoustically brilliant home of the Los Angeles Philharmonic. Although Gehry's architecture has been written about widely, the story of his life has never been told in full detail. Here we come to know his Jewish immigrant family, his working-class Toronto childhood, his hours spent playing with blocks on his grandmother's kitchen floor, his move to Los Angeles when he was still a teenager, and how he came, unexpectedly, to end up in architecture school. Most important, "Building Art" presents and evaluates Gehry's lifetime of work in conjunction with his entire life story, including his time in the army and at Harvard, his long relationship with his psychiatrist and the impact it had on his work, and his two marriages and four children. It analyzes his carefully crafted persona, in which a casual, amiable "aw, shucks" surface masks a driving and intense ambition. And it explores his relationship to Los Angeles and how its position as home to outsider artists gave him the freedom in his formative years to make the innovations that characterize his genius. Finally, it discusses his interest in using technology not just to change the way a building looks but to change the way the whole profession of architecture is practised. At once a sweeping view of a great architect and an intimate look at creative genius, "Building Art" is in many ways the saga of the architectural milieu of the twenty-first century. But most of all it is the compelling story of the man who first comes to mind when we think of the lasting possibilities of buildings as art. 9780307701534.

Gebraucht - Wie neu Leichte Beschädigungen oder Verschmutzungen, ungelesenes Mängelexemplar, gestempel - National Best Seller - Named a Best Book of the Year by: New York Times, Washington Post, San Francisco Chronicle, NPR, Vogue, The Atlantic, Newsday 'A novel of head-snapping ambition and heart-stopping power-a novel that attests to its young author's boundless and unflagging talents.' -Michiko Kakutani, New York Times New York City, 1976. Meet Regan and William Hamilton-Sweeney, estranged heirs to one of the city's great fortunes; Keith and Mercer, the men who, for better or worse, love them; Charlie and Samantha, two suburban teenagers seduced by downtown's punk scene; an obsessive magazine reporter and his idealistic neighbor-and the detective trying to figure out what any of them have to do with a shooting in Central Park on New Year's Eve. The mystery, as it reverberates through families, friendships, and the corridors of power, will open up even the loneliest-seeming corners of the crowded city. And when the blackout of July 13, 1977, plunges this world into darkness, each of these lives will be changed forever. City on Fire is an unforgettable novel about love and betrayal and forgiveness, about art and truth and rock 'n' roll: about what people need from each other in order to live . . . and about what makes the living worth doing in the first place. From the Hardcover edition.
