We Can Have Peace in the Holy Land Signed by J. Carter
Hardcover Published January 2009, 228 pages, Simon & Schuster, Signed by president Jimmy Carter, new condition.
In this urgent, balanced, and passionate book, Nobel Peace Laureate and former President Jimmy Carter argues that the present moment is a unique time for achieving peace in the Middle East -- and he offers a bold and comprehensive plan to do just that.
President Carter has been a student of the biblical Holy Land all his life. For the last three decades, as president of the United States and as founder of The Carter Center, he has studied the complex and interrelated issues of the region's conflicts and has been actively involved in reconciling them. He knows the leaders of all factions in the region who will need to play key roles, and he sees encouraging signs among them.
Carter describes the history of previous peace efforts and why they fell short. He argues persuasively that the road to a peace agreement is now open and that it has broad international and regional support. Most of all, since there will be no progress without courageous and sustained U.S. leadership, he says the time for progress is now. President Barack Obama is committed to a personal effort to exert that leadership, starting early in his administration.
This is President Carter's call for action, and he lays out a practical and doable path to peace.

Anglo Japanese Aesthetic Dresser Bureau by Herter Brothers
A very fine 19th century Aesthetic Movement ebonized with maple inlaid dresser manufactured by Herter Brothers for William H. Vanderbilt residence located on Fifth Avenue at Fifth Street in New York City. The dresser is branded Herter Bros. and is signed in pencil N. 411 Vanderbilt, Esquire at several places on the dresser. The dresser appears to retain its original brasses. Measurements are: 84 in. high, 64 in. wide, 16¾ in. deep
This exquisitely executed dresser and mirror exhibits the well-developed Anglo-Japanese style at the height of the Aesthetic movement. The rectangular proportions of the mirror frame and the lower case are complemented by the placement of the inlaid angular branches and circular flowers. Expanses of ebonized wood on the small upper drawers are juxtaposed above flowers that seem to grow towards each other across the central doors, creating tension in the ebonized area.
A closely related wardrobe is part of the permanent collection of The Metropolitan Museum of Art (Katherine S. Howe, Herter Brothers, Furniture for a Gilded Age (Houston, 1994), pp. 194-195).
