Hardcover. light shelfwear spotting on top edge gilt lettering on spine and front cover still bright; jacket lightly edgeworn a couple of unobtrusive tears small chip at top of spine. A tale of a woman aviator that it sez here "soars on the wings of adventure and romance." Its protagonist is a headstrong young woman who rebels against societal expectations and finds "the passionate guiding interest which was to dominate her life" when she's "tricked by a roadhouse party into an unwanted ride in a plane." As a result of this thrilling experience she "developed flying fever went to Europe where she learned the ins and outs of aviation and to the supreme horror of her clannish family as well as of the community became a pilot." This California author described in the jacket blurb as "an ardent flying fan" was active in Republican politics; she and her husband a former state senator had a cattle ranch outside Los Gatos and got really cranked up about "The Grapes of Wrath." Ruth in fact went on a bit of a crusade against the Steinbeck novel which she felt painted California's agricultural interests in an unfairly unflattering light; the culmination of her efforts was her own 1940 novel "Of Human Kindness" in which a fine upstanding farmer and his family fight the good fight against the perfidy and agitation of migrant workers union organizers liberal academics and Communists. .

199287981New York: Random House 1992. First Paperback Edition Stated. Presumed first printing. Trade paperback. Good. xx 665 pages 3. Chronology. Illustrations. Notes. Bibliography. Index. A blow-by-blow account of the author of The Jungle's 1934 bid for governor of California describes the mudslinging campaign waged against him and how it was a precursor to today's media politics. Greg Mitchell born 1947 is an American author and journalist. He has written twelve nonfiction books on United States politics and history of the 20th and 21st centuries. He has also written and directed three film documentaries. The award-winning feature Atomic Cover-up 2021 screened at over fifteen film festivals. The First Attack Ads: Hollywood vs. Upton Sinclair aired over hundreds of PBS stations in October 2022 and The Memorial Day Massacre is scheduled to do the same in 2023. His latest book published by the New Press in 2020 was the award-winning The Beginning or the End: How Hollywood — and America — Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb. His previous book a bestseller was published by Crown in October 2016 and in ten editions abroad was The Tunnels: Escapes Under the Berlin Wall and the Historic Films the JFK White House Tried to Kill. From 2009 to 2016 he blogged on the media and politics for The Nation where he closely covered WikiLeaks. He co-produced the acclaimed 2014 film documentary Following the Ninth about the political and cultural influence of Beethoven's Ninth Symphony. Upton Beall Sinclair Jr. September 20 1878 - November 25 1968 was an American writer muckraker political activist and the 1934 Democratic Party nominee for governor of California. He wrote nearly 100 books and other works in several genres. Sinclair's work was well known and popular in the first half of the 20th century and he won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 1943. In 1919 he published The Brass Check a muckraking exposé of American journalism that publicized the issue of yellow journalism and the limitations of the "free press" in the United States. Four years after publication of The Brass Check the first code of ethics for journalists was created. Many of his novels can be read as historical works. Writing during the Progressive Era Sinclair describes the world of the industrialized United States from both the working man's and the industrialist's points of view. After his loss to Merriam Sinclair abandoned EPIC and politics to return to writing. In 1935 he published I Candidate for Governor: And How I Got Licked in which he described the techniques employed by Merriam's supporters including the then popular Aimee Semple McPherson who vehemently opposed socialism and what she perceived as Sinclair's modernism. Derived from a Kirkus review: A colorful account of California's 1934 gubernatorial race a forerunner of today's intense electioneering. Upton Sinclair author of the meatpacking expose The Jungle and a prominent Socialist who became a Democrat only a year before the general election electrified millions with his EPIC End Poverty in California movement—and at the same time alarmed in Mitchell's words `an array of powerful enemies almost unparalleled in American politics' including William Randolph Hearst Herbert Hoover and film-mogul L.B. Mayer. Mitchell follows the nine-week campaign almost day by day from the morning after Sinclair's astonishing primary victory to his November defeat at the hands of the lackluster reactionary GOP incumbent Frank Merriam. In between California became a laboratory for the modern negative mass-media campaign as Sinclair's enemies wedded some tried-and-true tactics biased reporting by nearly all of the state's 700 newspapers to some disturbingly effective new ones: a campaign consultant to manage a gubernatorial contest polling a direct-mail operation even newsreels that attacked Sinclair. For a history as epic as the campaign that inspired it Mitchell has found additional dash and drama in a wealth of primary source materials contemporary newspaper accounts and interviews unfolding the campaign through the eyes of dozens of politicians entertainers and other public figures including FDR Charlie Chaplin Melvin Belli Pat Brown James Cagney and H.L. Mencken. An entertaining chronicle of the consummation of the unholy alliance of Madison Avenue Hollywood and politics. Random House paperback

White and color illustrated dust jacket with black lettering decorative end pages 274 pages 107 mounted color illustrations. Text is in English. English adaption by C.H> Mitchell. "In this book the author attempts to place the Japanese print in a very broad historical setting. He has striven to grasp and transmit an understanding of Japanese popular culture from its inception in the fifteenth century to the formation of the ukiyo-e school in the late seventeenth century--through the florishing period of the ukiyo-e print in the eighteenth century and into the nineteenth century when it was absorbed into the culture of modern times. The later prints are treated in a new way. No longer are they put into the category of a "decline" and "downfall" where most of the earlier critics and historians put them. The author recognizes the late period as one of social disintegration and cultural chaos but he conceives of it as a transition--as a sort of revolution or renaissance of popular art and the significance of the renaissance is emphasized."--pg. 11.

Mitchell -- Introduction / Narazaki Muneshige -- Print sizes -- The early prints -- The full-color prints -- Later prints -- On collecting Japanese prints -- Chronological chart --Bibliography -- Index and Glossary.
