ACKERMAN, DIANE; SIS, PETER (ILLUSTRATIONS). Deep Play.
Vintage Books, New York: 1995. 0679771352 / 9780679771357 First Vintage Books Edition. s Softcover. Good condition.
Illuminates an exalted state of transcendence achieved through emotionally and physically vigorous activities. The ability to play is an essentially part of what it means to be human. And "deep play" is that more intensified form of play that puts us in a rapturous mood and awakens the most creative, sentient, and joyful aspects of our inner selves. As Ackerman vividly descibes her own experiences, from her weekly bike treks to witnessing the daily ritual of penguins amidst blustery Anarctic winds, she illuminates the nature of deep play in its panoply of artistic, spiritual, and athletic realms. Keenly perceived and written with poetic exuberance, Deep Play enlightens us anew by revealing the manifold ways we can enhance our lives. Includes an Index.

ACKERMAN, DIANE. The Zookeeper's Wife.
W. W. Norton, New York: 2007. First Edition. h Hardcover with dustjacket in protective mylar cover. Good condition. Library discard. Back endpaper has been removed.
A true storyÑas powerful as Schindler's ListÑin which the keepers of the Warsaw Zoo saved hundreds of people from Nazi hands. When Germany invaded Poland, Stuka bombers devastated WarsawÑand the city's zoo along with it. With most of their animals dead, zookeepers Jan and Antonina Zabinski began smuggling Jews into empty cages. Another dozen "guests" hid inside the Zabinskis' villa, emerging after dark for dinner, socializing, and, during rare moments of calm, piano concerts. Jan, active in the Polish resistance, kept ammunition buried in the elephant enclosure and stashed explosives in the animal hospital. Meanwhile, Antonina kept her unusual household afloat, caring for both its human and its animal inhabitantsÑotters, a badger, hyena pups, lynxes. With her exuberant prose and exquisite sensitivity to the natural world, Diane Ackerman engages us viscerally in the lives of the zoo animals, their keepers, and their hidden visitors. She shows us how Antonina refused to give in to the penetrating fear of discovery, keeping alive an atmosphere of play and innocence even as Europe crumbled around her. Includes an Index. "I can't imagine a better story or storyteller. The Zookeeper's Wife will touch every nerve you have." - Jonathon Safran Foer, author of Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close and Everything is Illuminated
