( Lucky Luciano's posthumous memoirs may well have cost h...)
Lucky Luciano's posthumous memoirs may well have cost him his life. The partner of Meyer Lanksy and Bugsy Siegel, the man who created and controlled the "Commission" and the set down the rules, wanted to have his side of the story on record. It turns out that most of Luciano's criminal activity coincides with the history of the Mafia in America in the first half of the twentieth century and beyond. In preparation for a film of his life story, the famous New York gangster living in a golden exile in Naples recounted the main incidents of his life to producer Martin A. Gosch. Back in the United States, the new leaders of the Mafia were not pleased about the project that had almost reached completion and was ready to be turned into a screenplay. It is almost certain that their displeasure was communicated to "Charlie Lucky" with a hint to forget about the idea altogether. But Luciano went ahead anyway, compelled by the need to tell all and in some way offer an explanation about a life of crime. After taking a sip of espresso coffee at Naples airport as he waited for Gosch to land, Luciano died of a massive heart attack. Or was it something else? The film was never made, so this book remains the only account of the life of the man known as the "Boss of Bosses." Martin A. Gosch is deceased, and Richard Hammer lives in New York City.

( Set among the splendor of the Rocky Mountains, The Gran...)
Set among the splendor of the Rocky Mountains, The Grant Conspiracy (Wake of the Civil War) takes you to a Colorado mining town that’s being torn apart by a couple of crooked attorneys out for revenge. Frost and Hancock are ex-Confederates who, with the help of their henchmen, are plotting the assassination of former president Ulysses S. Grant. But they’re not angry over the war; rather, their hatred comes from pure greed. They lost their fortunes when Grant dumped government gold on the market. Now, with Grant planning a tour of the Rockies, they’re scheming to lure him to Mountain Springs by inviting Matt Tyler, the man who saved the general’s life during the war, to come work for their law firm. However, President Hayes is on to them and he’s sending the young lawyer to Colorado on a dangerous mission to scuttle their plan. Greeted by the brutal murder of a law clerk, Matt can immediately smell trouble in the air. With allies such as the beautiful Jennifer White, who has incurred the constant ire of the firm with her blazing newspaper editorials, Matt sets out to save Grant’s life a second time—and bring peace to the fractured town.

(The study of human body measurements on a comparative bas...)
The study of human body measurements on a comparative basis is known as anthropometrics. Its applicability to the design process is seen in the physical fit, or interface, between the human body and the various components of interior space. Human Dimension and Interior Space is the first major anthropometrically based reference book of design standards for use by all those involved with the physical planning and detailing of interiors, including interior designers, architects, furniture designers, builders, industrial designers, and students of design. The use of anthropometric data, although no substitute for good design or sound professional judgment should be viewed as one of the many tools required in the design process. This comprehensive overview of anthropometrics consists of three parts. The first part deals with the theory and application of anthropometrics and includes a special section dealing with physically disabled and elderly people. It provides the designer with the fundamentals of anthropometrics and a basic understanding of how interior design standards are established. The second part contains easy-to-read, illustrated anthropometric tables, which provide the most current data available on human body size, organized by age and percentile groupings. Also included is data relative to the range of joint motion and body sizes of children. The third part contains hundreds of dimensioned drawings, illustrating in plan and section the proper anthropometrically based relationship between user and space. The types of spaces range from residential and commercial to recreational and institutional, and all dimensions include metric conversions. In the Epilogue, the authors challenge the interior design profession, the building industry, and the furniture manufacturer to seriously explore the problem of adjustability in design. They expose the fallacy of designing to accommodate the so-called average man, who, in fact, does not exist. Using government data, including studies prepared by Dr. Howard Stoudt, Dr. Albert Damon, and Dr. Ross McFarland, formerly of the Harvard School of Public Health, and Jean Roberts of the U.S. Public Health Service, Panero and Zelnik have devised a system of interior design reference standards, easily understood through a series of charts and situation drawings. With Human Dimension and Interior Space, these standards are now accessible to all designers of interior environments.

"Vought F4U Corsair" is the story of the "bent wing bird", one of the best known of all American military aircraft. From dominance in the Pacific in World War II to important carrier operations in the Korean War, and service with the US Navy, Royal Navy, RNZAF and French Navy, the Corsair played a pivotal and invaluable role in Allied warfare. Martin Bowman combines technical information and detailed development history with a fascinating combat history told, in many cases, by World War II pilots themselves.

( A wide-eyed teenager during most of the Revolutionary W...)
A wide-eyed teenager during most of the Revolutionary War, Joseph Plumb Martin left his grandfather's farm in Connecticut in 1775 and spent much of the next eight years with the Continental Army, crisscrossing the mid-Atlantic states and returning north after the British surrender at Yorktown. His notes, penned when he was seventy, recount in grim detail his harrowing experiences during the conflict — the staggering losses in human life, the agony of long marches, constant gnawing hunger, bitter cold, and the fear of battle, as well as a warts-and-all view of military leaders. Balancing these brutal wartime experiences are lively accounts of hunting, fishing, and other diversions--including an occasional encounter with a "saucy miss." The fullest existing description of the Revolutionary War by an enlisted man, and a rediscovered gem of American history, Martin's recollections brim with telling anecdotes that reveal a great deal about American life during this era. An invaluable memoir from an ordinary man in extraordinary times, the narrative is "one of the best firsthand accounts of war as seen by a private soldier." — St. Louis (Mo.) Post-Dispatch

Landau, Martin was born on June 20, 1931 in Brooklyn.
Educated at Art Students League and Actors Studio.
His Lugosi u'as, beyond dispute, a daunting recreation thrust into the midst of an eccentric movie. It was, as such, rather more assertion than acting. But Landau’s Bela did have the side advantage of making one forget the sheer unlikability of Mr. Landau. Perhaps a similar peace descended on the actor himself.
Landau, as he admits, has been around a long time—and not just on TV in Mission: Impossible (1966-69), in which he played with his wife, Barbara Bain. He had been a newspaper cartoonist before becoming an actor, and he is a longtime member of the Actors Studio.
Yes, that is him, as one of the sadistic heavies, “Leonard," in North by Northwest (59, Alfred Hitchcock). He has also done Pork Chop Ilill (59, Lewis Milestone); The Gazebo (60, George Marshall); Stagecoach to Dancer's Rock (62, Earl Bellamy); Cleopatra (63, Joseph I,. Mankiewicz); The Greatest Story Ever Told (65, George Stevens); The Hallelujah Trail (65, John Sturges); Nevada Smith (66, Hemy Hathaway); They Call Me Mister Tibbs (70, Gordon Douglas); A Town Called Hell (71. Robert Parrish); Black Gunn (72, Robert Hartford-Davis); Strange Shadows in an Empty Room (77, Martin Herbert); Meteor (79, Ronald Neame): Without Warning (80, Greydon Clark); Alone in the Dark (82, Jack Sholder); The Being (83. Jackie Kong); Cyclone (87. Fred Olen Rav); Sweet Revenge (87, Martin Sobel); and so to Tucker.
Paragraph break to mark a film you’ve heard of—and some reason for appreciating Landau’s tearv gratitude for a nomination after all that dross. Then: Trust Me (89. Bobbv Houston); Paint It Black (89, Tim Hunter)—not exactly released; good in Mistress (91, Barry Primus); Sliver (93, Phillip Noyce); Intersection (94, Mark Rydell); City Hall (96, Harold Becker); BAPS (97, Robert Tov'nsend); Rounders (98, John Dahl); The X-Files (98, Rob Bowman); Ed TV (99, Ron Howard); the old man in Bonanno: A Godfather's Start (99, Michael Poulette); Geppetto in The New Adventures of Pi nocchio (99, Michael Anderson); Sleepy Hollow (99, Burton): Ready to Rumble (00, Brian Robbins); Very Mean Men (00, Tonv Vitale); Abraham on TV in In the Beginning (00, Kevin Connor); The Majestic (01, Frank Darabont).
