Paperback. Very Good., 3, The Republican Roosevelt, by John Morton Blum, Published by Atheneum, New York 1966, eighth printing, ISBN#: 0674763009, Soft bound, VeryGood- condition (light cover wear at spine edges near top and bottom, a couple of passages have been underlined). The Republican Roosevelt by John Morton Blum is an illuminating study of Teddy Roosevelt. It is a model in thoroughness of its knowledge of the subject, its succinctness, its bold interpretations, its penetrating analysis, and the understanding it brings to one the most important figures in our history. This is a book about politics and politicians; about elections, lawmaking, governing, and how they work. It is a book about the Republican Party during the period in which it developed some forces and frictions. Finally, it is a book about a remarkably successful and vibrant man who contained within himself much of the best and the worst of his environment, who contributed generously to American life, who knew in his time disappointment, temptation, and pain, but also glory; a man remembered most by his intimates for the "fun of him." The author is in an enviable position to assess these matters. During five years as Associate Editor of The Letters of Theodore Roosevelt, he read and studied all Roosevelt's letters as well as all his published works, and delved deeply into the relevant literature of the period, including the vast material in the Congressional Record. From this rich store, John Morton Blum has drawn a new interpretation of Roosevelt the conservative, Roosevelt the professional Republican politician, and Roosevelt the leader of men. He presents new material on Roosevelt's work as the manager of the Republican Party and as manager of Congress. He relates Roosevelt's roles in these situations to his conduct of foreign policy-a foreign policy so anticipatory of that of contemporary America and to his Progressiveness - a doctrine of government with strong affinities to both the New Deal and the New Crusade. Preliminary studies for The Republican Roosevelt, appearing in the eight volume Letters of Theodore Roosevelt, elicited enthusiastic comments from the reviewers. Richard Hofstadter writes in The New York Times Book Review of Mr. Blum's "able essay" that the author has shown, drawing on the letters, "how adroitly Roosevelt juggled. . . issues to use what he thought could be sacrificed to get what he thought was important." And Howard K. Beale, calling it "a brilliant bit of historical analysis," says that Mr. Blum's work "corrects the false view popular among historians of Roosevelt's relation . . . to legislation."-American Historical Review. The Republican Roosevelt's historic role in the game of politics and the Party as presented in this book makes reading as dramatic as it is significant. The book is approximately 4 3/8 X 7 1/4 inches in size and contains 170 pages. The cover price is $1.25. For comparison, another copy of the book iscurrently offered on the Internet at Beacon Hill for $27.49.

Presumed later paperback printing, probably 30th. Condition: Near fine, very light edge and corner wear, small crease at bottom corner.The tipping point is that magic moment when an idea, trend, or social behavior crosses a threshold, tips, and spreads like wildfire. Just as a single sick person can start an epidemic of the flu, so too can a small but precisely targeted push cause a fashion trend, the popularity of a new product, or a drop in the crime rate. This widely acclaimed bestseller, in which Malcolm Gladwell explores and brilliantly illuminates the tipping point phenomenon, is already changing the way people throughout the world think about selling products and disseminating ideas.Gladwell introduces us to the particular personality types who are natural pollinators of new ideas and trends, the people who create the phenomenon of word of mouth. He analyzes fashion trends, smoking, children's television, direct mail, and the early days of the American Revolution for clues about making ideas infectious, and visits a religious commune, a successful high-tech company, and one of the world's greatest salesmen to show how to start and sustain social epidemics., Back Bay Books, 4, New York: Vintage, 2002-05-14.
