Columbia, SC: University of South Carolina Press, 1996. Notes, 218pp.. First Edition. Cloth. Fine/Fine. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall., University of South Carolina Press, 1996, 5, Chapel Hill, NC: University of North Carolina, 1976. Presumed First Edition, First printing. Hardcover. Very good/Very good. 324 pages. Footnotes. Index. A compact but comprehensive biography brilliantly portraying the poignant revelations of John Adam's inner life implicit in the recently released Adams family manuscripts. The formal side of Adams is reconciled with his remarkably colorful private life by Shaw's penetrating grasp of the whole man. Considerable attention is given to his clash of wills with Franklin in Europe and his later relationship with Jefferson. The account of Adams's twenty-five years of retirement after losing the presidency resolves some of the dilemmas arising from the long career of a man who was never really suited by temperament for politics.

His wife, Claire, is known notoriously as a wisewoman or a witch. As a traveller from the twentieth century she is all these things and more." ; 9.6 X 6.8 X 2.1 inches; 992 pages ., Doubleday Canada, 2001, 3<

Tight, clean and unmarked-" Crossing the boundaries of genre with its unrivaled storytelling, Diana Gabaldon's new novel is a gift both to her millions of loyal fans and to the lucky readers who have yet to discover her.-In the ten years since her extraordinary debut novel, Outlander, was published, beloved author Diana Gabaldon has entertained scores of readers with her heart-stirring stories and remarkable characters. The four volumes of her bestselling saga, featuring eighteenth-century Scotsman James Fraser and his twentieth-century, time-traveling wife, Claire Randall, boasts nearly 5 million copies in the U.S.-The story of Outlander begins just after the Second World War, when a British field nurse named Claire Randall walks through a cleft stone in the Scottish highlands and is transported back some two hundred years to 1743.-Here, now, is The Fiery Cross, the eagerly awaited fifth volume in this remarkable, award-winning series of historical novels. The year is 1771, and war is approaching. Jamie Fraser's wife has told him so. Little as he wishes to, he must believe it, for hers is a gift of dreadful prophecy a time-traveler's certain knowledge.
