Mass Market Paperback. Ann Beattie (born September 8, 1947) is an American novelist and short story writer. She has received an award for excellence from the American Academy and Institute of Arts and Letters and the PEN/Malamud Award for excellence in the short story form. Falling in Place was Ms. Beattie's second novel. Falling in Place is an extraordinary book and deserves to be counted among post-WWII 20th-century American classics. Few books succeed so well in capturing their era (in this case the malaise of the late-1970s). This is the story of how one family falls completely apart. It is about family whose members forget they love each other - or forget how to love each other - until it is too late. Not even John Cheever does a better job of exposing the mix of boredom, depravity, lies and heartbreaking affection behind the picket fences of suburbia. Beattie manages to deal with the then-all-consuming "battle of the sexes" without taking sides --no mean accomplishment. This novel needs to be rediscovered. Perhaps, its fate is due to Beattie's overshadowing success in short fiction., Fawcett Popular Library, 1981., 0, 1st printing of 1st American edition; inscribed by author.

SIGNED by the Author on titlepage. Provides a travel narrative for a journey along one of the oldest and most perilous roads in the world through Pakistan and India. While the title is somewhat of a misnomer--since much of this ancient road cutting across India and Pakistan is too infested by bandits to travel after dark--make no mistake about the courage and intelligence behind this wryly observant travelogue. ``From what I'd witnessed, the future for most Indians looked like hell,'' writes novelist and travel writer Weller (The Garden of the Peacocks, 1996), and while this bleak prediction resonates throughout his account, one is equally impressed that India's explosive mixture of cultures and religions has not blown the lid off the world's largest democracy. Along this road, cut by conquerors from before Alexander, lie the birthplace of Buddhism, Jainism, and Hinduism, ornate but crumbling tombs--including the Taj Mahal (``that Moby Dick of architecture'')--as well as the sites of great pilgrimages and human slaughter. Traveling this frequently crumbling artery, his hired drivers dodging careening trucks, Weller alights in the sacred Hindu city of Benares astride the Ganges, whose ``stench is encyclopedic and hypnotic'' and into whose waters are commited some 40,000 cremated bodies yearly. Up the road, Kanpur is the site of the 1857 massacre of 1,000 British men, women, and children that led Queen Victoria to formally annex India. Weller traces the paths of Kipling, perhaps the only writer of the time to look beneficently on the Indians during the Raj. Tireless, aside from a bronchial disorder caused by the poisonous air of New Delhi, Weller proceeds to the Punjab, home to the Sikhs, and passes into Pakistan, which, while lacking the liberties and the cultural freedom of its neighbor, is generally cleaner, with far fewer beggars and homeless people. The last stage, up the forbidding Khyber Pass, in which dwell smugglers of all description, and through which he was required to hire an armed bodyguard, is perhaps the most exotic locale yet in an account brimming with beauty and strangeness. ; Signed by Author ., Marlowe and Co., 1997, 4, MP3 Audio CD. Three Men and a Maid CHAPTER ONE Through the curtained windows of the furnished apartment which Mrs. Horace Hignett had rented for her stay in New York rays of golden sunlight peeped in like the foremost spies of some advancing army. It was a fine summer morning. The hands of the Dutch clock in the hall pointed to thirteen minutes past nine; those of the ormolu clock in the sitting-room to eleven minutes past ten; those of the carriage clock on the bookshelf to fourteen minutes to six. In other words, it was exactly eight; and Mrs. Hignett acknowledged the fact by moving her head on the pillow, opening her eyes, and sitting up in bed. She always woke at eight precisely. Was this Mrs. Hignett _the_ Mrs. Hignett, the world-famous writer on Theosophy, the author of "The Spreading Light," "What of the Morrow," and all the rest of that well-known series? I'm glad you asked me. Yes, she was. She had come over to America on a lecturing tour. The year 1921, it will be remembered, was a trying one for the inhabitants of the United States. Every boat that arrived from England brought a fresh swarm of British lecturers to the country. Novelists, poets, scientists, philosophers, and plain, ordinary bores; some herd instinct seemed to affect them all simultaneously. It was like one of those great race movements of the Middle Ages. Men and women of widely differing views on religion, art, politics, and almost every other subject; on this one point the intellectuals of Great Britain were single-minded, that there was easy money to be picked up on the lecture platforms of America and that they might just as well grab it as the next person., 0, MP3 Audio CD. The Great Apostasy Considered in the Light of Scriptural and Secular History is a 1909 tome written by James E. Talmage that sums up the Great Apostasy from the perspective of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church). James drafted his volume with the purpose that it be used as an instructive means within the LDS Church's Young Men's Mutual Improvement Association and the Young Women's Mutual Improvement Association. The volume is "in many ways quite derivative" of B. H. Roberts's 1893 Outlines of Ecclesiastical History. Both authors plagiarized greatly from the books of Protestant academics who disagreed that Roman Catholicism had renounced from rightful Christianity. James? work has been illustrated as "the most recognizable and noted work on the topic" of Latter-day Saint analyses of the Great Apostasy. James Edward Talmage was a British chemist, geologist, and spiritual leader who served as a member of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) from 1911 up to his demise. He was born and brought up in Hungerford, Berkshire, England. He was christened into the LDS Church at age 10 on June 15, 1873. He migrated with his family to Provo, Utah Territory, in 1877. In Provo, he took up the Normal Course at Brigham Young Academy (BYA), with Karl G. Maeser as among his instructors; he completed his studies in 1880. In 1881, James obtained a collegiate diploma from BYA's Scientific Department, the first diploma to be handed out. His first penchant was for the sciences, and in 1882 and 1883 he took particular courses in chemistry and geology at Lehigh University in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. James was the writer of many devotional books, such as The Articles of Faith, The Great Apostasy, The House of the Lord, and Jesus the Christ. These books are still in publication and are still vastly read in the LDS Church., 0, MP3 Audio CD.

During the years 1660 to 1800 "[w]riting became for the first time a respectable occupation rather than a sign of loose morals... many gifted women, while adapting to the constraints of eighteenth-century life, led unusual, often independent, and occasionally flamboyant lives as struggling novelists, actresses and playwrights, male impersonators, royal mistresses, or persecuted Quaker preachers..." xxiv, 344 pages; 25 cm.
