Roddy McDowall: An Actor's Life -- From How Green Was My Valley to Lassie to Planet of the Apes
Sincerity, erudition, charisma . . . Roddy McDowall. Here is the comprehensive, first-ever biography of the award-winning child star, Planet of the Apes movie icon, beloved film legend, and Hollywood renaissance man whose career spanned 60 years. "This is a beautiful tribute to a very special man. For those who aren't familiar with Roddy, you're in for a treat. You will get to know a man who was as kind as he was gifted." - CAROL BURNETT As one of the very few naturally gifted child actors who graduated into adult roles with relative ease, Roddy McDowall exuded charm throughout a glorious Hollywood run that included film, television, and Broadway. John Ford's 1941 classic How Green Was My Valley put Roddy on the map at 12-years-old. It won Best Picture over Citizen Kane and is Clint Eastwood's favorite film of all time. But Roddy's biggest claim to fame was yet to come. The phenomenally popular Planet of the Apes film series, which ran from 1968-1973, introduced him to a whole new generation of fans. In a career spanning 60 years, Roddy was also a professional photographer, producer and director, starstruck movie lover himself, and film preservationist. Among his treasured friends: Elizabeth Taylor, Richard Burton, Ava Gardner, Angela Lansbury, Judy Garland, Julie Andrews, Lauren Bacall, Montgomery Clift, Marlon Brando, Natalie Wood, and Rock Hudson. Openly gay among his peers, if not the public, Roddy was a trusted keeper of secrets as well. Loyal and authentic to the end, everyone in Hollywood loved Roddy McDowall. Exhaustively researched and featuring exclusive interviews with those who knew him best, this first-ever biography from author Samuel Garza Bernstein charts the extraordinary trajectory of the London-born, award-winning actor--from a childhood in front of the cameras, to a break from the studio and his controlling stage mother, an awkward adolescence and growing awareness of his sexuality, to eventually shaping the life and career that Roddy wanted for himself. Professionally and personally, he was a success. This intimate and fascinating journey of resilience, transformation, and reinvention is a
long-awaited and illuminating tribute to a true Hollywood legend.Sold out -
Extremely Accurate Birds: An Anatomically Precise Field Guide to Common Backyard Birds of North America
Have you ever taken a really good look at the bottom half of a bird? At long last, this birding guide from esteemed birder and New Yorker cartoonist Tommy Siegel, author of Candy Hearts, reveals the truth about the powerful legs and shapely rear ends that power our feathered friends to the skies! There's a reason brilliant naturalists from Audubon to Sibley have relied on illustration to bring birds to life on the page: Birds move remarkably fast and are often obscured by foliage; it would be nearly impossible to photograph them. But birding enthusiast and comic artist Tommy Siegel noticed a theme in these artists' guides: Their renderings focus too heavily on birds' wings and plumage while reducing their lower limbs to simple sticks. Could birds really achieve such varied feats of athleticism and migratory endurance if they had such rudimentary legs? Now, Tommy is poised to revolutionize the field of ornithology with his interpretation of how birds' beautiful legs and posteriors must truly appear (based on educated scientific guesses gleaned from observing their behavior in the field). The result is Extremely Accurate Birds, perhaps the most anatomically precise collection of bird illustrations ever assembled. Pairing his trailblazing bird drawings with (actually accurate, for real) birding tips on more than eighty common species found across North America, Tommy has created an essential addition to any birder's shelf. -
Living Declaration: A Biography of America's Founding Text
INSIDE THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE: A historian and former presidential speechwriter traces the origins and legacy of the words and ideas that made America. Illustrations and close readings of 68 original texts offer new insights on the American Revolution, the Civil War, and other key moments and figures in American history. We hold these truths to be self-evident . . . all men are created equal . . . with certain inalienable rights . . . life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness." 250 years after they were written, these words remain at once familiar and startling. What do they mean to us today? Do we understand them in the same way the Founders did? Historian and former presidential speechwriter Ted Widmer seeks to answer these questions by returning to where the nation's story began, the Declaration of Independence, to trace the remarkable history of how it came to be and how it has shaped the democratic aspirations of Americans and others for more than two centuries. Weaving together more than sixty fascinating original texts, Widmer finds in the words of succeeding generations of Americans--radicals and conservatives, revolutionary insurgents and civil rights leaders, presidents and philosophers--the key to understanding the extraordinary durability of America's founding ideas. An expert guide, Widmer introduces us to:- the revolutionary writings that set the stage for the Declaration
- Noah Webster, of dictionary fame, offering a surprising definition of "equality"
- the true story of a fake declaration of independence "discovered" in Mecklenburg, North Carolina, in 1819
- searing challenges to the Declaration's philosophical claims by Frederick Douglass and Elizabeth Cady Stanton
- radically divergent readings of the Declaration that contributed to the Civil War, and Abraham Lincoln's vision of a "new birth of freedom"
- the ways in which the Declaration inspired civil rights activists in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries
- how the Declaration inspired democratic aspirations globally.
The voices gathered here are impassioned and often disagree, but they are united in the belief that the Declaration has something crucial to tell us about the American people and the larger struggle for human freedom. "They speak to us," Widmer writes, "and they talk to each other as well, in a conversation that will never end."Sold out -

Summer of '71: Five Months That Changed America
From award-winning journalist and author John A. Jenkins comes a revolutionary exploration of the summer before Watergate--a parallel world of a half-century ago when America faced events and crises strikingly similar to those of today--told through the lives and words of those who lived it. Inflation rages. Crime is rising. Abortion rights take center stage at the Supreme Court. China poses an existential threat. Black lives are under attack. The president battles the press as he seeks to subvert not just the political order but the rule of law itself. This is the Summer of '71--a pivotal, operatic season of hope and despair, missed opportunities and era-changing decisions. More than a half-century later, it's difficult to overstate the importance of events that defined the American experience during that fateful five-month period spanning May to September 1971. On May Day, President Nixon orchestrates a massive police-military response to disrupt the biggest anti-war demonstration in history. Two days later, the Supreme Court announces that it will take up Roe v. Wade. In the weeks and months that follow, friction escalates between the police and the Black Panthers, Congress debates universal healthcare, Attica prisoners riot, and the New York Times publishes the Pentagon Papers--a turning point that ultimately dooms Nixon's presidency and his legacy. Summer of '71 brings it all to the page through first-person accounts that are only now becoming available: the papers, diaries, and oral histories of key players. Award-winning journalist and author John A. Jenkins witnessed many of the events himself, and draws on a multitude of sources, including Nixon's White House tapes, to tell the story of that time as no one else could. Here is both a fascinating, brilliantly researched read in its own right, and a critical lens through which to view today's political discord.Sold out -
