Book Description
A riveting dual biography of the McLaughlins—identical twin sisters who became groundbreaking photographers in New York during the glamorous magazine golden age of the 1930s and 40s—for fans of Ninth Street Women and The Barbizon. The McLaughlin twins were trailblazing female photographers, celebrated in their time as stars in their respective fields, but have largely been forgotten since. Here, in Double Click, author Carol Kino provides us with a fascinating window into the golden era of magazine photography and the first young women’s publications, bringing these two brilliant women and their remarkable accomplishments to vivid life. Frances was the only female photographer on staff in Condé Nast's photo studio, hired just after Irving Penn, and became known for streetwise, cinema verité-style work, which appeared in the pages of Glamour and Vogue. Her sister Kathryn’s surrealistic portraits filled the era’s new “career girl” magazines, including Charm and Mademoiselle. Both twins married Harper’s Bazaar photographers and socialized with a glittering crowd that included the supermodel Lisa Fonssagrives and the photographer Richard Avedon. Kino uses their careers to illuminate the lives of young women during this time, an early twentieth-century moment marked by proto-feminist thinking, excitement about photography’s burgeoning creative potential, and the ferment of wartime New York. Toward the end of the 1940s, and moving into the early 1950s, conventionality took over, women were pushed back into the home, and the window of opportunity began to close. Kino renders this fleeting moment of possibility in gleaming multi-color, so that the reader cherishes its abundance, mourns its passing, and gains new appreciation for the talent that was fostered at its peak. Pulling back the curtain on an electric, creative time in New York’s history, and rich with original research, Double Click is cultural reportage and biography at its finest.

On a cold day in January, President-elect Kerry Kilcannon takes the oath of office—and within days makes his first, most important move: appointing a new Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. Kilcannon’s choice is a female judge with a brilliant record. And a secret. While the Senate spars over Caroline Masters’s nomination, an inflammatory abortion rights case is making its way toward the judge—and will explode into the headlines.

Book Description
Ramiz Alkhishin, the author's alter ego, is a grocer. He has a passion for a life that is as independent as possible from its surroundings. to him the trendy place to be in is the one to avoid, while the traditional road to follow is the one to by-pass. You may have met him before in his books: Fortune Cookies; Sketches; the Bazaar; the Balcony; the Lobby; the Tango of Gossip; Why Me, the Smiling Owl , Whispering Molecules and the Broken Horoscope. In his eleventh book, in the series of books dealing with human nature, entitled the Gossiping Numbers, author Raad Chalabi through forty six stand-alone fictional dialogues, addresses the issue of the vulnerability of pure logic to the emotional needs of humans. As with all his earlier books the author provides no answers but only raises questions. the theme behind the Gossiping numbers is that logic is an irreplaceable tool that guides us onto the path that allows us to reach a desired destination. the problem, as the author sees it, is that a logically-defined path usually gets blocked by our emotional needs. In addition our initially desired destination rarely continues to be so as life presents alternative options. Numbers are seen by many as the personification of logic. the book reflects on the question as to whether communicated numbers are truly un-emotional as we all like to think or are they, like all else that we interact with, suitably managed by us to meet our desired outcome? the author leaves it to the reader to reflect on the dialogues in the book and reach his or her own conclusions.
