Covering the Middle East War in 2003, correspondent Helene Cooper had memories of another war; the war that tore her away from the place of her birth, Liberia. In The House on Sugar Beach: In Search of a Lost African Childhood Cooper wrote a gripping memoir that is not only a family history, but a social, cultural and historical account of this country. Cooper is a direct descendant of the first black Americans who migrated to Liberia in the 1820s to establish a haven for freed blacks. Elijah Johnson, her maternal ancestor and Randolph Cooper, her paternal ancestor, were pioneers in the Back to Africa movement with help from the British government to start over in West Africa. Within a few years, the new settlers succeeded in not only building a new community, but became the ruling ... Read More

2.At Home in the World by: Daniel Pearl June 18, 2002
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.01
Daniel Pearl will always be a name synonymous with the threat and pain derived from Fundamentalist Islamic terrorists. This book is not the lasting legacy he deserves. It has numerous grammatical, typographic, and punctuation errors. It is disorganized and lacks coherence. At the start of each chapter there is a short essay by Helene Cooper explaining something about the talented writer; his meticulous reporting, attention to detail, willingness to travel, unending curiosity and a host of other adjectives that one would expect from such a young and talented writer. Each one of these introductions seeks to give Daniel a personality. Some of them are more successful than others. There should be longer articles about Daniel, not just a collection of his published stories. Indeed, ... Read More

5.Picasso: Women ~ Cannes and Mougins, 1954-1963 by: Helene with preface by Douglas Cooper Parmelin 1964
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $169.35
This book is pretty hard to find, but if you can get a copy, preferably with dust jacket (has a very interesting drawing/painting/collage of Jacqueline on it with a yellow border), and all its' plates, by all means,do so. This book was published ca. 1964 and tiny color poster like 'plates' were glued into books instead of actually being printed on the page itself. This is a real treat, because, once again I am seeing works I have never seen before. That is always neat. There are plates of paintings, drawings, collages, ceramics, sculptures and a colorful alphebet at the back of the book. A big, thick, but not oversized book, good to curl up with and look at.It will inspire you.

6.Picasso: Women. Cannes and Mougins, 1954-1963. by: Helene Parmelin 1964
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $75.00
This book borders on satire. There are endless portraits that feel like we've already seen them. The accompanying narrative is such idol-worshiping fauning, that it's almost comical. Where Matisee would have painted over numerous times on the same canvass to wind up with what satisfied him; Picasso instead, does twenty canvasses all seperately, so you can see the changes. Or is it just to have more saleable objects from the same meager portrait. I have many Picasso books I love; but this is not one of them.
