Book Description
On June 17, 1963, Soviet cosmonaut Valentina Tereshkova became the first woman in space. Curiously, unlike every previous milestone in the "space race," this event did not spur NASA to catch up by flying an American woman. Though there were suitable candidates-two years earlier, thirteen female pilots recruited by the private Woman in Space program had passed a strenuous physical exam and were ready for another stage of astronaut testing-American women would not escape earth's gravity for another twenty years.
In Right Stuff, Wrong Sex, Margaret Weitekamp shows how the Woman in Space program -- conceived by Dr. William Randolph Lovelace and funded by world-famous pilot and businesswoman Jacqueline Cochran -- challenged prevailing attitudes about women's roles and capabilities. In examining the experiences of the Fellow Lady Astronaut Trainees (as the candidates called themselves), this book documents the achievements and frustrated hopes of a remarkable group of women whose desire to serve their country fell victim to hostility toward such aspirations. Drawing from archival research and interviews with participants, Weitekamp traces the rise and fall of the Woman in Space program within the context of the cold war and the thriving women's aviation culture of the 1950s. Weitekamp's study sheds light on a little-known but compelling chapter in the history of the U.S. space program and the rise of the women's movement in America.

Great Book About a Forgotten Program.......2006-06-20
The First Women in Space Program of the 1960's is an endeavor that has become all but forgotten in American history. That is until Margaret A. Weitekamp's recent book about the subject came along.
During the 1950's, there was massive resistance in U.S. government circles against any kind of a space program. There were, however, visionaries such as William Randolph "Randy" Lovelace II who promoted the benefits of a strong space program. It was not until after both the launch of the Soviet satellite Sputnik in 1957 coupled with the election of John F. Kennedy in 1960 that a strong American space program came into existence.
Since the Kennedy Administration refused to countenance the idea of a women in space program, it was up to the likes of Lovelace & famed aviatrix Jacqueline Cochran to start a private program towards that goal. Another prominent woman in the U.S. aviation industry to support Lovelace's program was Jerrie Cobb who had passed all of the tests that had been administered to the NASA astronauts, but who had been passed over simply because she was a woman.
In the end, Lovelace's program came to naught due to a lack of funding, but the memory of it lives on in this splendid work.
An excellent piece of history.......2005-01-09
Margaret Weitekamp's book addresses a long-forgotten but recently rediscovered chapter in American history. At the height of the Space Race's Cold War fervor, a mix of private and public figures made several initial moves in the direction of introducing women to America's space program. None of these women ever really got close to becoming an astronaut due to an array of institutional and cultural constraints to their progress. They have been both lionized and marginalized by different camps over the last 40 years, with distortions and half-truths from every side. Weitekamp's book finally cuts through the clamor. It gathers an enormous array of rare and forgotten documents and details, along with oral history from the women themselves, to weave an authoritative narrative of the events. It should earn its place as a definitive work in this area.
Weitekamp's writing is precise and well-documented, with all the attention to sources and structure that academics need to be kept happy. Her focus is on gender (as befits the subject), but her work gradually yields a subtle examination of the perspectives, motives and positions of the women who confront its cultural manifestations. Like all good history, this reads like a movie waiting to happen. Jackie Cochran is the most intriguing character of the lot, with her political savvy and daredevil streak taking her from setting records on the tarmac to meetings in the Oval Office. Jerrie Cobb, the more public face of the original group of women at the climax of these events, suffered from a political naivety, but came to see the structural impediments to women perhaps more clearly than anyone. Easily the best piece of social and cultural history I've read this year.

All of the magazine's most glorious moments are highlighted in this extravaganza of Playboy nostalgia.
Customer Reviews:
Wonderful pictures!.......2006-04-28
This book is well put together with beautiful pictures. The pictures are high quality and this book is really a conversation starter! The Playboy book began with pictures of Marilyn Monroe, which I have never seen before and they are beautiful. One thing that was disapointing were some of the stories. The print was so small that you could not read the story, only the captions. Another thing to watch out for is the dust jacket. It's very easy to see any small marks and the gold scratchs off easily. Keep it in a cloth to protect it. I recommend this book to everyone, even if you've never read a Playboy magazine!
The REAL Playboy.......2005-10-11
Although Playboy is what it is, and because of the reason why many people purchase the magazine, there needs to be an understanding of the true content of the magazine through the years. Remember that the magazine is usually only 20% sex and nude women. That leaves 80% every month to be used for art, technology, controversial editorials, interviews, etc. This tome is huge and heavy, and I'm glad it takes the reader through a tour of 50 years of the COMPLETE world of Playboy. If you only want naked women, don't buy this - buy either "The Playmate Book" or "Blondes", "Brunettes", or "Redheads".
What a beautiful book!.......2005-09-29
This book was definitely more than I expected with it's vibrant pictures and outstanding content. It gives you an in-depth peek into the world of Playboy above and beyond the photos. I also found the simple black hardcover to be very discreet.

Book Description
Darwin took his books aboard the Beagle. Swift and Defoe used his experiences as inspiration in writing Gulliver’s Travels and Robinson Crusoe. Captain Cook relied on his observations while voyaging around the world. Coleridge called him a genius and “a man of exquisite mind.” In the history of exploration, nobody has ventured further than Englishman William Dampier. Yet while the exploits of Cook, Shackleton, and a host of legendary explorers have been widely chronicled, those of perhaps the greatest are virtually invisible today—an omission that Diana and Michael Preston have redressed in this vivid, compelling biography.
As a young man Dampier spent several years in the swashbuckling company of buccaneers in the Caribbean. At a time when surviving one voyage across the Pacific was cause for celebration, Dampier ultimately journeyed three times around the world; his bestselling books about his experiences were a sensation, influencing generations of scientists, explorers, and writers. He was the first to deduce that winds cause currents and the first to produce wind maps across the world, surpassing even the work of Edmund Halley. He introduced the concept of the “sub-species” that Darwin later built into his theory of evolution, and his description of the breadfruit was the impetus for Captain Bligh’s voyage on the Bounty. Dampier reached Australia 80 years before Cook, and he later led the first formal expedition of science and discovery there.
A Pirate of Exquisite Mind
restores William Dampier to his rightful place in history—one of the pioneers on whose insights our understanding of the natural world was built.

Book that takes you around the world.......2007-07-27
This book about 17th Century Explorer William Dampier really surprised me - it was so good! I received the book as a gift and it turned out to be one of those books that I might not have chosen on my own, but I really enjoyed.
The book chronicles Dampier's 3 voyages around the world, is interesting, and super easy to read. Two thumbs up for sure.
Pleeeze don't call him "pirate!" He was just along for the ride ..........2007-04-21
Ol' Cap'n Bill plundered only knowledge - couldn't keep two pieces of eight together to save his life. In fact, when he crossed the Isthmus of Panama, he was a lot more worried about keeping his charts dry than about the gold. Trouble was, nobody in his earlier days ever thought about funding a mission for pure scientific research - at least 'til Edmund Halley's voyage in about 1702 or so. And the only British vessels heading into the Pacific had to subsidize their own voyages (at the expense of the Dons, of course). So what was an insatiably curious soul to do? He stuck out his thumb, sailed everywhere -- and I mean EVERYWHERE! and if he's no longer at sea, he's now in print -- everywhere! Don't believe me? Pick up ANY book on exploration, vanished species, oceanography, evolution, British history, British colonialism -- and, of course ... pirates ... and you'll find him there, glaring huffily at anyone who'd demean him as a pirate.
A Pirate of Exquisite Mind: The life of William Dampier.......2007-03-08
Extraordinary story of one of the most important explorers and cartographers we've never heard of! Fascinating facts and a well written account of some of the early round-the-world navigation.
Great Reading!.......2007-01-10
A student of history for more than half my life I was astounded that I had never heard of Dampier --its a pity that he has not received his due as an explorer & naturalist. He was well known in his own time and should be as well known in ours. The book is an education and a fun one at that.
Inquisitive, free-spirited open-minded seagoing pioneer.......2006-05-27
William Dampier, an inquisitive, free-spirited open-minded seagoing pioneer was on the cutting edge of global explorations. Recorded in his own words, William Dampier has left us all an inspiring legacy of world history. This book was hard to put down and I was sad to see it end.
Book Description
The pirate genius who inspired Darwin, Defoe, and Cook.
Seventeenth-century pirate genius William Dampier sailed around the world three times when crossing the Pacific was a major feat, was the first explorer to visit all five continents, and reached Australia eighty years before Captain Cook. His exploits created a sensation in Europe. Swift and Defoe used his experiences in writing Gulliver's Travels and Robinson Crusoe. Darwin incorporated his concept of "sub-species" into the theory of evolution. Dampier's description of breadfruit was the impetus for Captain Bligh's voyage on the Bounty. He was so influential that today he has more than one thousand entries in the Oxford English Dictionary, including such words as chopsticks, barbecue, and kumquat. Anthropologists still use his work.
Customer Reviews:
EXCELLENT READ, BUT WAS HE THAT GREAT A GUY?.......2007-10-07
Ok, so there is no doubt that this book is a excellent read. It really is like 'The Pirates of the Carribean' but in written form and it all really happened! Swashbuckling adventures, gripping, perilous cliffhangers, monstrous storms, wild, and sometimes dangerous natives (but mostly friendly). In short, I am very glad I bought this book.
But, I don't think I completely agree with the authors portrayal of our hero, William Dampier, as a forgotten hero who deserves better than he got. Certainly, he was an extraordinary man, of immense energy, life force, talent, a pioneer in innumerable fields and respected highly by the educational elite of his, and many in our, day. But he was not a good man all the way.
He left his wife for years on end, without much of a shadow of a hint of remorse (leaving the first time very shortly after their marriage for 12 years and almost no mention of her during those 12 years till he gets back, stays a while and takes off again!). He partook in attacking and stealing treasures from merchant ships that were in no way threatening him or his crew (I understand many did this but it's no excuse). It doesn't make it excusable just because others in his day also did this and the authors lightly dismiss this under those pretences. It was still wrong. He stole and plundered, A LOT, for a living. It almost, but not quite, overshadows his achievements. And the 'not quite' is probably the reason why he is a little less dismissed as a pirate.
All in all a good read, but he's no angel.
What a life ... impressive!.......2007-03-01
No many people knows about William Dampier even though his life is totally impressive. As a person looking for an opportunity to make a living, Dampier took his life as a buccaneer to develop his passion as explorer and naturalist. He didn't attend Oxford, nor Cambridge, but his accounts reminds me of Joseph Banks, accounts that were of much use for navigators and naturalist in the coming years, including Cook and Darwin.
He survived three voyages around the world, but those voyages let him know fascinating places and cultures. I was especially delighted on the description of Juan Fernandez Island (In the coast of Chile), the use that pirates made of this island and the story of the Moskito indian and Alexander Selkirk, both castaways here. A book worth reading!
The Pirate that Won My Respect........2006-03-31
This account of the life and times of William Dampier is refreshingly detailed. The authors successfully described the 17th Century world in all of its gritty reality. With these hard and unforgiving times as a backdrop, the reader can realize what Dampier was up against and how only an exquisite mind could accomplish what he did, under those circumstances.
I heartily recommend this read for anyone interested in seafaring in the 1600's.
Excellent Book Across Several Disciplines.......2006-01-22
This book was first brought to my attention when it was being discussed on NPR. Diana Preston sounded like she was actually gushing when she talked about William Dampier. After reading this book, one can certainly understand why. While there are many gaps in the historical record - we know virtually nothing about Dampier's personal life, Diana and Michael Preston weave what is known into a highly enjoyable narrative that moves at the speed of an action novel.
William Dampier, a Scot, was a fascinating person. Like so many young unattached men of his time, he naturally turned to the sea as a means of livelihood. Like most sailors, he was a keen observer of the world around him. However, unlike many of his peers, he documented those observations, kept his papers in good order, and published his observations as sort of a half scientific journal/half travel story. He became sort of a folk hero to the large portions of English population who were wealthy enough to own his books, but not to experience the larger world first hand. His keen scientific observations deeply influenced meteorology, biology, and cartography for the next two hundred years. His charts were still in use as late as WWII.
Today, it is difficult for a layperson to be taken seriously by scientific community. Thus a common sailor and buccaneer who is also at the cutting edge of scientific study seems somewhat incredulous to the modern reader. Yet, in this sense, the 16th and 17th century scientific community was a bit more egalitarian then the current one. Yet this is a world where slavery was accepted as a fact of life and basic human dignity, especially for non-whites, was a luxury vice a fundamental right.
Likewise, Dampier himself was a case study in contradictions. A keen observer and analyst of the natural world, he seems completely unable to understand human nature. A gifted planner, navigator, and tough fighter; he fails at every leadership role that life thrusts upon him. Despite the fact that he was almost a folk hero at the time of his last expedition, he is more or less forgotten to the modern world with the exception of Western Australia. He was, after all, the first Englishman to visit Australia - sorry Capt Cook.
This book will appeal to anyone who is interested in the age of exploration, the history of science, or British history in the late 17th Century. The main drawback to this book is that there is very little insight into William Dampier's personal life. For example, the authors do not know when Dampier's wife died or much about her life when he was not at home. Regardless, this is a history book that is as readable as any novel.

Book Description
"Guys like Lindorff can cloak their madness in political rhetoric, but that doesn't change what it is-madness." -James Taranto, Wall Street Journal
"A full-bore attack on Bush-as-warmonger."-Alexander Cockburn
How many of us look at the paper in the morning and say, "This can't be happening"? An iconic edifice is destroyed, swarthy aliens are blamed and a nation's leader puts a frightened public on a war footing. Bush-or Hitler? In this scathing collection of articles, Dave Lindorff suggests some of the uncomfortable parallels between the '30s and today.
Award-winning investigative journalist
Dave Lindorff is a columnist for Counterpunch, and author of Killing Time: An Investigation into the Death Penalty Case of Mumia Abu-Jamal.
Alexander Cockburn (Introduction) is a columnist for The Nation.

Independent journalists fight to keep democracy alive.......2005-08-18
This book is different from many other column collections because it is organized around a common ongoing event---and does not make nice with the critique during any point of the book either.
Lindorff argues that the Bush regime is plowing America into the ground. The now-infamous WMD claim is only the tail end of their deception. Thus by default, investigative journalists such as himself become the all-critical truth seekers.
Such a placement undoubtedly echoes Watergate, but unlike then the newspapers of record have been silent as the Bush administration more or less does whatever it wanted. According to Lindorff, the 'snafus' which make the mainstream media really were not accident at all. They are part of the Bush administration's concerted targeting of political dissenters.
Being an investigative journalist is not at all glamorous, but Lindorff helps the American people find out what their government is up to. Such tenacity comes in especially handy when the government does not want to voluntarily divulge theie information.
I.F. Stone Would be Intimidated.......2004-11-12
This collection of essays is a fantastic supplement to the diet the mainstream media forces down our throats on a daily basis. Lindorff attacks the power-elite with a venom unmatched by the corporate press. I.F. Stone would be proud, if not intimidated.
This book is a must read for those that want to understand how it is a man called Dubya can run our country into the ground at a rate that out paces the Internet crash. This is a great book to brighten the winter blues, as well.
Buy it for your relative who voted Bush. Buy it for your friend that voted Kerry. It's a must read for both sides of the aisle.
Truth in a world of spin and fantasy.......2004-09-25
With even papers like the New York Times admitting they didn't do their jobs in the runup to the Iraq war, independent investigative journalists such as Lindorff are vital.
Lindorff uncovered the fact that the government was setting up the mechanism for renewing the draft. He broke the story that the government was routing calls about domestic terror threats to `America's Most Wanted.' He told us that the secret `no-fly' list that includes Cat Stevens has snagged all sorts of people who just happen to be anti-war activists and subjected them to harassment at airports across the country.
`This Can't Be Happening' is essentially a compiliation of his columns on those and other issues the mainstream press hasn't touched. But the columns are bound together in a coherent whole that gives us a picture of the true state of politics and government in America today. It's a scary picture, to be sure.
For Lindorff's current writings on the world, which will give you a taste of what's in the book, check out www.thiscan'tbehappening.net.

Book Description
One winter day in 1988, as he surveyed his newly purchased land in California's wine country, Sam Sebastiani made a bold decision: He would plant vines on his hillside but he would restore the hayfield below it to its natural condition - a freshwater marsh. The road to realizing this vision was mined with difficulties but Sebastiani persevered, and with the help of Ducks Unlimited, he succeeded in creating a 90-acre preserve that is now home to 156 bird species and a host of other wildlife.
In The Winemaker's Marsh, award-winning author Kenneth Brower chronicles a year in the life of the restored wetland. He draws parallels between the seasonal transformations of the marsh and the shifting fortunes of Sebastiani himself, sketching a sensitive portrait of the environment and the man. As a perfect complement to the text, Michael Sewell's stunning photographs reveal a landscape of subtle splendor and surprising diversity.
Customer Reviews:
Great with Fowl!.......2002-09-07
Proof that our heroes are all around us. Stunning photographs affirm that we can save this planet from ourselves. The results of one person's efforts are reproduced in a neat, coffee table format that shows how even a mere 100 acre marsh (a former hay field!) can be transformed into a life-sustaining ecosytem that supports a diverse number of species. As in many of Ansel Adams photographs that encompass the reflection of the small landscape within the larger one--Michael Sewell has illustrated the importance of the "small place" as an ecological bell-weather of the greater environment. He proves that determined individual efforts do pay off, and gives us hope for the future. Text by the Browers, Father & Son, heighten this moving, life-affirming experience. Inspiring!
