New York: Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 2016. First Edition [Stated], First Printing [Stated]. Hardcover. [10], 486 pages. Autographed sticker on front of DJ. Signed by the author on the half-title page. Illustrations. Acknowledgments. Index. Also includes Part 1: Reflecting; Part 2: Accelerating; Part 3: Innovating; and Part 4: Anchoring. Also includes Acknowledgments and Index. Thomas Loren Friedman (born July 20, 1953) is an American political commentator and author. He is a three-time Pulitzer Prize winner who is a weekly columnist for The New York Times. He has written extensively on foreign affairs, global trade, the Middle East, globalization, and environmental issues. In this work, Friedman begins by sharing a conversation with a fellow blogger, who also happened to be working as a parking attendant. The unlikely pair ended up spending time together as Friedman helped the blogger refine his process. This led to his own deeper reflection on defining his conceptual framework that underpinned his writing. He took a year's sabbatical to research and produce this book encapsulating what he discovered. Reviews John Micklethwait CBE, editor-in-chief of Bloomberg News, who reviewed Thank you for Being Late for The New York Times, wrote that this is Friedman's "most ambitious book — part personal odyssey, part common-sense manifesto". Friedman is a "self-confessed 'explanatory journalist' — whose goal is to be a 'translator from English to English' and this book is "a master class in explaining." More

New York: Palgrave Macmillan, 2013. First Printing [Stated]. Hardcover. xic, 266 pages. Illustrations. Notes. Index. Inscribed on the half-title page by Al From. Inscription reads To Paul Boyle Warm Regards Al From. Foreword by Bill Clinton. Al From (born May 31, 1943) is the founder and former CEO of the Democratic Leadership Council. His ideas and political strategies during the past quarter century played a central role in the resurgence of the modern Democratic Party. From is the author of The New Democrats and the Return to Power. In 2000, at a speech at Hyde Park, President Bill Clinton said, "It would be hard to think of a single American citizen who, as a private citizen, has had a more positive impact on the progress of American life in the last 25 years than Al From." From led the DLC from its inception in 1985 until he stepped down as CEO in April 2009. From played a prominent role in the 1992 election of President Bill Clinton – and served as domestic policy advisor to the Clinton Transition – prompting USA Today to write: "The ideas at the crux of the Clinton candidacy were largely drafted by the DLC." Today, many of the ideas that comprise the core of the agenda of the Democratic Party's conservative wing come from work done under From's leadership at the DLC. National service, an expanded Earned Income Tax Credit, welfare reform, charter schools, community policing, expanded trade and re-inventing government were all championed by scholars and analysts at the DLC before becoming public policy. Alice McKeon is a writer, historian, producer, and political communications strategy professional with many years of experience in the political realm. More

Former owner's stamp has left an impression on flyleaf. Kefauver, who became famous through his attacks on organized crime, monopoly pricing, and drug company abuses, was born into a prosperous old Tennessee family, worked as a corporation lawyer during most of the '30's, and gained a House seat in 1939 as a New Dealer, firmly supporting TVA and Lend-Lease. Kefauver became the major antagonist of the Dixon-Yates move to abolish public power in the early 50's as well as an opponent of the McCarran Act. Kefauver's passion went into his anti-crime and anti-price fixing crusades, his battles with the Memphis-based Crump machine, his struggles with local racist-conservative challengers, and his 1952 and 1956 primary campaigns against Adlai Stevenson.
