About FaceA History of America's Curious Relationship with China, from Nixon to Clinton by James Mann Our Price: $30.00 This is the inside story of the people, forces, politics, and diplomacy that have shaped contemporary relations between the United States and China. James Mann, the Beijing bureau chief for the Los Angeles Times from 1984 to 1987, draws on hundreds of newly uncovered government documents, scores of interviews, and his own experiences in writing this investigative history.
A revelatory history of the complicated and combative relationship between the world's biggest and most powerful nations -- by the former Beijing bureau chief of The New York Times.
This is the definitive account of the last great struggle for equal rights in the 20th century. From the birth of the modern gay-rights movement at the Stonewall riots in New York in 1969, through 1988, when the gay-rights movement was eclipsed by the more urgent demands of AIDS activists, this is the remarkable and until now untold story of how a largely invisible population of men and women banded together to create their place in America's culture and government.
FATHER/LAND is a work of observation, insight, and commentary, a provocative book that will become required reading for anyone seeking to understand modern Germany. And it is something more. For in researching the past, Frederick Kempe discovered that the ghosts of the past were not limited to others, that the contradictory threads of good and evil wove through his own family as well. After years of denying his Germanness, he had to confront it at last.
A history of the SAT, THE BIG TEST raises innumerable questions of the sort that torment parents, teachers, and administrators -- about the purpose of education, about its beneficiaries and casualties, and about our understanding of "merit."
Michael Lewis sets out on a safari through Silicon Valley to find the world's most important technology entrepreneur, the true representative of the coming age.
