After years at the tippy-top of the fashion world—modelling haute couture and starring in ad campaigns for the most exclusive fashion houses—GingerNutz, the naïve Bornean orangutan turned fashion’s darling, is itching for a new adventure. In GingerNutz in Full Bloom: From Supermodel Orangutan to Style Icon and Beyond, our fashionable heroine segues from being the Vogue cover girl to the one who decides what the cover girl will wear and how she will wear it. As Vogue’s first orangutan fashion stylist, she selects from the most delectable garments and travels the world to direct the edgiest fashion shoots with top photographers. But this jet-set lifestyle, even with luxuries like suites at the Ritz and room service banana-beetle smoothies, begins to wear on her. GingerNutz decides that she absolutely must find a suitable country cottage to which she can retire and pursue proper English pastimes like gardening and tending to a menagerie of farm animals (with whom she feels quite at home). Before she settles into obscurity, though, she will enjoy one last flourish of the royal treatment...

The charming story of GingerNutz, an orangutan born in the wilds of Borneo who has dreams of making it big in the fashion world. Michael Roberts’s charming text and hand drawn illustrations tell the story of GingerNutz, an orangutan born in the wilds of Borneo who has dreams of making it big in the fashion world. One day while playing on the beach, the ten year old GingerNutz finds a bottle washed up on the shore containing a copy of Vogue magazine. Entranced by the glamorous images on its glossy pages, the precocious primate sets her mind to becoming a high fashion model. She dedicates herself to grooming her coat, creating makeup from exotic flowers, and styling her ginger hued hair. Unlikely as it may seem, she encounters other likeminded jungle creatures – the creative orangutan duo Dolce and Grubbana, a haughty and chic silverback gorilla – who together create their own hyper stylish coterie, and GingerNutz fulfils her dream of sashaying down the runway. The story of GingerNutz was inspired by legendary model and fashion editor Grace Coddington, the long-time creative director of American Vogue and a close friend of the author. The book contains 65 hand drawn illustrations that vividly depict the lush and colourful Bornean fashion community.

Gustavus Adolphus (1594--1632) dominated his age: he made Sweden the leading power of Northern Europe, was the principal upholder of the Protestant cause in the Thirty Years War, and was a great administrator as well as a brilliant soldier. His toleration and reforms helped define the development of the modern state. This concise study of his career, by the doyen of modern historians of the North, appeared in 1973. Long unavailable but now revised, expanded, updated and reset, it makes a welcome return in Profiles in Power.

The Long Depression looks at the current global economy from a Marxist perspective.

The dramatic and eye-opening original account of events that shook the nation. At noon on May 4, 1970, a thirteen-second burst of gunfire transformed the campus of Kent State University into a national nightmare. National Guard bullets killed four students and wounded nine. By nightfall the campus was evacuated and the school was closed. A generation of college students said they had lost all hope for the System and the future. Yet Kent State was not a radical university like Berkeley, Columbia, or Harvard. Although a new mood had been growing among the students in recent years, the school was not known for political activity or demonstrations. In fact, exactly one week before, students had held their traditional spring-is-here mudfight. What most alarmed Americans was the knowledge that if this tragedy could occur at Kent State, on a campus made up of the children of the Silent Majority and in the heart of Middle America, it could happen anywhere. But why? how did it happen that young Americans in battle helmets, gas masks, and combat boots confronted other young Americans wearing bell-bottom trousers, flowered shirts, and shoulder-length hair? What were the issues and why did the confrontation escalate so terribly? Would there be future confrontations like the one of May 4? To answer these questions, prize-winning reporters Eszterhas and Roberts, who were on campus on May 4, spent weeks interviewing all the participants in the tragedy. They traveled to victims' homes and talked to relatives and friends; they spoke to National Guardsmen on the firing line and to students who were fired on. By putting together hundreds of first-person accounts they were able to establish for the first time what actually took place on the day of the shooting. With new prefaces by Joe Eszterhas and Michael D. Roberts.
