Ex-Library; 21 oz.; 332 pages; Ex library HC w/DJ library markings front hinge paper cracked o/w good clean/tight condition. The Ninth Wave, published in 1956, follows a political campaign complete with then cutting-edge innovations of opinion polling, computers and the use of campaign consultants. Though we now know -- even in a world of Facebook and Obama -- that data and numbers can't quite predict and control political outcomes in the way the book lays out, the world has turned out close enough to Burdick's picture of the future to make The Ninth Wave a prescient and still relevant story, and one that should be loved by people who are into the mechanics of politics .

Boston: Houghton Mifflin Company. Good in Fair dj. 1956. Book Club Edition. Hardcover. [reading copy only, a sound but quite shelfworn book, with bumping/fraying to cloth at most corners; the jacket is heavily edgeworn, with numerous small tear and chips, most notably at the upper spine]. Novel about a guy who "rose to power by a series of almost mathematical calculations in which he used people's emotions instead of numbers," ultimately becoming "the biggest man in one of the biggest states in one of the biggest countries in the world." (All of which sounds like a chillingly modern premise for a book written during the supposedly buttoned-down 1950s.)
