ISBN: 9781450224338 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 312 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. VANISHING POINT is an eclectic collection of the author's writings ranging from short fiction pieces, and a disturbing account of "a difficult period" in early 1960s San Francisco, to personal observations in the first years of the 21st century. There are brief vignettes that capture aspects of the American character, from positive to cynically critical.

Poor Man's Medicine
ISBN: 9781475966886 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 238 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. POOR MAN'S MEDICINE is the third volume of what can be called "The Notational Trilogy"-acerbic views, interpretations and opinions about contemporary human existence, society, the environment, culture, and everything else. These pieces are sometimes wistful thoughts of things past, or often unease about the future that we are being dragged into. About previous books in this trilogy, readers have said they have been "informed, amused and-often-outraged " These reactions will continue, and, as before, the reader WILL NOT BE BORED

Spaceships and Liquor: Venus and Mars Are All Right Tonight
ISBN: 9781450286282 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 344 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. SPACESHIPS AND LIQUOR is a collection of both amusing and deadly serious essays, vignettes and commentaries on life in contemporary America. The author includes a section he calls "Politically Incorrect," wherein he trods in opinionated territory, not always comfortably. You may not agree, but you will not be bored. Balancing this are more neutral and light-hearted views of the author's friends and his various involvements. Someone said to him recently, "Didn't I see you this summer in Moscow?" The author invites the reader to return with him from "an African adventure" and travel across...

States of Mind: Letters from Houses in Two States
ISBN: 9780595484959 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 308 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. "STATES OF MIND" is a collection of the author's letters from Santa Fe, New Mexico, and St David's, Pennsylvania, to a very literate and old-fashioned gentleman in San Francisco. Written between 1993 and 2000, they are insightful, humorous and sometimes grouchy. They reflect two very diverse places in the American landscape-some would say no two places could be more different!-and the author deftly switches roles with changes in locale.

Captain Midnight and the California Dream: 50 Years Adrift in the Golden State
ISBN: 9780595371860 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 280 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. "CAPTAIN MIDNIGHT AND THE CALIFORNIA DREAM" is an impressionistic journey of more than 50 years of extremely uneven and often strangely disconnected experiences in California. It stretches from the author's father's hardscrabble ranch in the remote mountains above Los Angeles, through ups and downs in an always-unpredictable California, ending, more or less, at a lonely and primitive ranch in the desert. The book is filled with unique characters, bizarre situations, and views of an always changing and, the author would charge, deteriorating California. From city streets to quiet rural areas,...

Clippings From the Vine: Selections from the Published Works of Dayton Lummis
ISBN: 9781440124846 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 620 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. CLIPPINGS FROM THE VINE consists of selections from the author's seven published books, and concludes with a series of contemporary personal essays, observations and opinions as we enter the Obama Era of hopefully positive change. Ranging from Coast to Coast, all over the Inter-mountain West, and covering a period of almost sixty years, the author deftly chronicles his experiences and the characters he has encountered (such as desert rat "Mr. James," featured on the cover). He does so with wit, insight and frequent discontent. These selections can be read as a cross section of a greatly...

Casita Dreemz
ISBN: 9780595428762 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 228 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. "CASITA DREEMZ" is an impressionistic journey across the American West over 50 years. The author drifts like mist lifting from Green River Hole. Many rivers flow and many ranges rise from desert basins. The images he presents are like the tiny shadows that dart across the grasslands in the fading light of the day, and are gone .

The Road Ahead
ISBN: 9781491790465 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 198 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The Road Ahead is something that we all are on, and like the old saying, "When you come to a fork in the road-take it," you will travel with the author in this volume of rambling thoughts, observations and acerbic opinions with a certain amount of unease. You are not expected to agree, but may be provoked, challenged, and occasionally outraged. The author reminds us that America is at a "tipping point" beyond which a whole new society awaits. Whether that will be good or bad-we wont know until we are there. And, if The Shadow Knows-he aint tellin...

Death by Device
ISBN: 9781491738740 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 216 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The author freely admits that "devices" are not all bad. For better or worse they have changed the world. But this book ranges far from the subject of the effects of "devices," often into areas distinctly "politically incorrect." Some commentary is amusing; others might be seen as "disturbing." This is a good companion book for your "one-way trip to Mars " Read it, and you will never be the same again Nor will be the society described. We live in changing times; there is a distinct sense of a "rising sadness" for lost America...

The Millennial Deer: Commentary, 2001-2008
ISBN: 9780595512843 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 344 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. THE MILLENNIAL DEER is a collection of essays-social, cultural and political commentary, in the form of old-fashioned correspondence. Relevant to the changing conditions of the early years of the 21st Century, the author's views are presented with wit, great insight, and occasional political incorrectness and ill humor. They seek to connect a lost past with the mystique of a present that is blundering into uncharted and dangerous territory. As for the book's title, the author says, "Always at my back I hear-THE MILLENNIAL DEER"

Martian Desert Afternoon
ISBN: 9781450242936 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 244 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. MARTIAN DESERT AFTERNOON is an impressionistic collection of "poetic statements" about America, places and people, in the last half of the Twentieth Century-observations, impressions, descriptions. All of which contain perceptive insight on what is sometimes referred to as "Many a Vanished Sight..." There are moments when the perceptions seem almost at the point of madness, but generally the work is a sort of wandering psychedelic journey across America. And, at times, "into America..."

Dust Devils
ISBN: 9780865344839 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 284 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Dayton Lummis has lived a unique American life--as museum director in a mountain ghost town 9,500 feet high, as caretaker of an abandoned ranch surrounded by endless desert, as an inveterate wanderer pulled through vast empty landscapes that most Americans have never heard of, and will never see. And always-always--on his journeys, he takes back roads. The characters Lummis has met and interacted with along the way form a vivid rogues gallery of oddballs, misfits and losers, and he knows how to tell their stories. As a highly opinionated (his friends say grumpy) observer himself, Lummis gives...
