Hardcover. Condition: Good. For the last fifteen hundred years, the Klingons have revered him as the first Klingon emperor, the legendary warrior who united their people and taught them the meaning of honor. Myths and fables have grown around the memory of Kahless, but the truth of his incredible life has remained a mystery.until now.A clone of the original Kahless now holds the title of emperor. He thinks he knows all there is to know about his might ancestor, until the discovery of an ancient scroll throws the ancient stories into doubt and threatens to tear the Klingon Empire apart. Surrounded by treachery and rumors of revolt, he can trust no one - except Captain Jean-Luc Picard and Lieutenant Worf of the U.S.S. Enterprise.The past collides with the present as the true story of the historical Kahless sparks a battle for control of the entire Klingon Empire. Yet even if Worf and Picard can prevent a civil war, the revelations contained in the scroll ensure that the Klingon Empire - and the rest of the galaxy - will never be the same.

Book First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Good. First Edition. The Vines of San Lorenzo explores in-depth the making of wine by telling two fascinating stories. The main one focuses on a single wine, Sori Said Lorenzo 1989, following the grapes from vineyard to bottling. Interwoven with this story is the tale of how Angelo Gaja transformed an obscure Italian wine, Barbaresco, and made it an international celebrity.This unique book will appeal to wine buffs and novices alike. It's as much about people as about wine itself. Vineyard manager Federico Curtaz is not only a "botanical bard" who sees vines as airplanes and tightrope walkers, but also a skilled tactician waging war against their "invisible foes." Wine maker Guido Rivella suggests that he's merely the supervisor of the microscopic workers who actually do the job. He courageously struggles to tame the tannin, gleefully reveals what his wine has in common with jello, and vehemently denounces the crime of cork.The main character is Angelo Gaja himself. According to The Wine Spectator, "no producer anywhere in the last 50 years has made such an impact on the international wine scene." Who else could have won the "Battle of the Buds" in the sixties that was halving production in his vineyards? Who else would give the name "What a Pity!" to one of his wines?We speed with Gaja along the roads of Europe - taking trips to Eugenio Gamba's cooperage (where we see a pile of wood turn into a barrel), the forests of central France (where we attend an exhilarating performance by "the professor of oak," fendeur Camille Gauthier), the island of Sardinia (where Peppino Molinas shows us around his cork factory), and Germany (where we watch Gaja being "killed with culinary kindness" as he takes on 12 Michelin stars in three days). But Gaja slows down to visit an elderly vineyard worker, one of the forgotten people of wine, without whom the story would not be complete.The Vines of San Lorenzo is packed with absorbing details, but its playful style makes even technical matters easy reading. You don't need a PhD to understand pH! And some details are surprising. Why might the definition of wine in your dictionary be a white lie? Why would the "contains sulfite" statement on bottles sold in the U.S. remain even if nothing at all were added to the wine?Above all this is a celebration of wine, written by Edward Steinberg with passion and humor.

Book First Edition
Softcover. Condition: Good. First Edition. Marcia Pally, a social scientist at New York University, examines the hypothesis that government censorhip of offensive books and images will reduce anti-social behavior, including delinquency, violence, and rape. After extensive review of the sociological, psychological, criminological, and cross-cultural research, Pally finds that the causes of anti-social conduct lie in the life experiences of perpetrators, which are unfortunately not likely to be addressed by merely removing images from the public sphere. Moreover, government censhorship in one area may open the door to censoship in other arenas and thus threaten democracy. Pally notes that those in favor of censorship and those opposed share the goal of reducing violence and abuse, and so both might use their energies to further substantive solutions to anti-social conduct. This, Pally suggests, will require a deep look at our values, family structures, parenting, educational systems, and other of our basic institutions.
