Soft cover. Condición: Near Fine. First Printing. A very nice copy without any flaws. The back alleys of Victorian London's East End is a place of smoke, mud and shadows, where laundry trembles in the filthy air and where thousands of Jewish refugees are "ready to take fog as their mother's milk" and forge a new life. Lilian Nattel brings turn-of-the-century London to life and embraces the dilemmas of class, culture and history in a vanishing world.

Trade Paperback. Condición: Fine. First Thus 1st Printing. Light Creasing on Rear Cover; Front, Rear Covers, Spine Lightly Chipped; Spine Slightly Cocked; Slight Yellowing Due to Age. Author of The Death and Life of Great American Cities. SUB-TITLE: The Story of Hannah Breece. EDITED AND WITH AN INTRODUCTION AND COMMENTARY BY: Jane Jacobs. MAP RESEARCH BY: James K. Jacobs and Robert H. Jacobs. COVER PHOTOGRAPH: The village of Nondalton, assembled at the fishing camp on July 4, 1911. Hannah Breece, wearing a hat, is standing at the extreme left. Hannah Breece collection COVER DESIGN: Andy Carpenter. BOOK DESIGN BY: Oksana Kushnir. CONTENTS: Foreword; Maps and Photographs; Hannah's Alaska Chronology; Memoir by Hannah Breece; Commentary; Notes and Citations; Acknowledgments; Index. SYNOPSIS: When Hannah Breece came to Alaska in 1904, it was a remote, lawless wilderness of gold prospectors, murderous bootleggers, tribal chiefs, and Russian priests. She spent fourteen years educating Athabascans, Aleuts, Inuits, and Russians with the stubborn generosity of a born teacher and the clarity of an original and bravely independent mind. Her eyewitness account is more than an adventure story--it provides a unique glimpse of white settlers' behavior toward native communities at the turn of the twentieth century. Hannah Breece's great-niece Jane Jacobs, author of The Death and Life of Great American Cities and one of Canada's most distinguished writers and thinkers, faithfully retraces her great-aunt's footsteps in Alaska and the Yukon, deftly filling in narrative gaps and adding historical context to let Breece's memoir speak in its own clear voice. What emerges is a transgenerational collaboration that is also a riveting act of literary recovery and an important work of women's history. Jane Jacobs is the author of five critically acclaimed and influential books, including The Death and Life of Great American Cities, The Economy of Cities, Cities and the Wealth of Nations, and the best-selling Systems of Survival. She lives in Toronto and was recently made an Officer of the Order of Canada. Size: Elephant Folio - over 15" - 23" tall.

SYNOPSIS: A fearless and superbly written call to reframe our ideas about female violence. Why do young women murder their babies and dump them in trash cans? What motivates women to team up with men on ghoulish killing sprees? Who are the victims of the female serial killer? When She Was Bad explores the heart of female darkness and shows that women are more violent than anyone supposed. Patricia Pearson includes spell-binding portraits of contemporary murderesses including Karla Faye Tucker, who was recently executed for having killed two people with a pickax; Karla Homolka, who raped and killed three women, including her sister, and then blamed it on battered wife syndrome; and Aileen Wuornos, a Florida woman who shot seven men. And Pearson marshals a vast amount of research and statistical support from criminologists, anthropologists, psychiatrists, and sociologists, and includes many revealing interviews with dozens of men and women in the criminal justice system who have firsthand experience with violent women. When She Was Bad is a fascinating study whose findings will take center stage in future discussions of female violence. Patricia Pearson is an award-winning writer and crime journalist. She won a National Magazine Award for her article on Karla Homolka, "Behind Every Successful Psychopath." She is a contributing editor for Saturday Night, as well as writing for many other publications and for television both in Canada and the United States. AWARDS: 1997 Arthur Ellis Award for Best True Crime. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
