Blue cloth boards gilt lettering and decorative elements. Small 8vo. 224pp. Reprint of first published in 1912. <br/><br/>The "Kybalion" Hermetic Philosophy originally published by the Yogi Publication Society in 1908 by a person or persons under the pseudonym of "The Three Initiates" is a book claiming to be the essence of the teachings of Hermes Trismegistus. Its philosophies in conjunction with others have become founding pillars within the New Thought movement of the early 1910s. The book early on makes the claim that it makes its appearance in one's life when the time is appropriate and includes axioms and insights similar to those found in the Book of Proverbs. The most common proposal is that The Kybalion was authored by William Walker Atkinson either alone or with others such as Paul Foster Case and Elias Gewurz.

20092284471Simon & Schuster 2009. 2nd Printing. Hard Cover. Near Fine/Very Good. Second printing. Minor tear to jacket spine head. 2009 Hard Cover. viii 464 pp. No figure in American public life has had such great expectations thrust upon him or has responded so poorly. But Ted Kennedy -- the youngest of the Kennedy children and the son who felt the least pressure to satisfy his father's enormous ambitions -- would go on to live a life that no one could have predicted: dismissed as a spent force in politics by the time he reached middle age Ted became the most powerful senator of the last half century and the nation's keeper of traditional liberalism. As Peter S. Canellos and his team of Boston Globe reporters show in this revealing and intimate biography the gregarious pudgy and least academically successful of the Kennedy boys has witnessed greater tragedy and suffered greater pressure than any of his siblings. At the age of thirty-six Ted Kennedy found himself the last brother the champion of a generation's dreams and ambitions. He would be expected to give the nation the confidence to confront its problems and to build a fairer society at home and abroad. He quickly failed in spectacular fashion. Late one night in the summer of 1969 he left the scene of a fatal automobile accident on Chappaquiddick Island. The death there of a young woman from his brother's campaign would haunt and ultimately doom his presidential ambitions. Political rivals turned his all-too-human failings -- drinking philandering and divorce -- into a condemnation of his liberal politics. But as the presidency eluded his grasp Kennedy was finally liberated from the expectations of others free to become his own man. Once a symbol of youthful folly and nepotism he transformed himself in his later years into a symbol of wisdom and perseverance. He built a deeply loving marriage with his second wife Victoria Reggie. He embraced his role as the family patriarch. And as his health failed he anointed the young and ambitious presidential candidate Barack Obama whom many commentators compared to his brother Jack. The Kennedy brand of liberalism was rediscovered by a new generation of Americans. Perceptive and carefully reported drawing heavily from candid interviews with the Kennedy family and inner circle Last Lion captures magnificently the life and historic achievements of Ted Kennedy as well as the personal redemption that he found.

19791235081979. Original poster promoting the release of the 1979 album the band's second collaborative effort with Brian Eno. <br/><br/>Like its predecessor "More Songs about Buildings and Food" "Fear of Music" accomplished several things at once. A rollicking and today classic single "Life During Wartime" put the record immediately in the black but at the same time the band took major stylistic steps forward evidenced the most by the leading track "I Zimbra" incorporating loops and African grooves appropriated and/or created by Eno and Byrne the two also worked that year on the now-classic ambient record "My Life in the Bush of Ghosts". <br/><br/>In 1979 the idea of sampling was new and not in the least trivial as bits of magnetic tape had to literally be cut and spliced by hand in order to overlay sounds from other sources onto new material and both this record and "Ghosts" were time-intensive groundbreaking efforts not just in pop music but in the world of textured and forward-looking music in general. <br/><br/>35 x 23 inches.
