Mind Rift (Special Crimes Task Force) (Volume 2)

Sheila Rae Myers

<span>Although her goal is to eventually be able to stay at home and pursue writing as a full time career, Sheila currently works for a printed plastics company during the day and accomplishes most of her writing in the evenings. Her training and experience includes ten years in the military medical field and earning a B.S. in environmental science. While she doesn't have any hands-on experience in law enforcement, she states that "in-depth research into that field adds realism and believability to my novels." She also enjoys a variety of other activities including reading, researching her family history, walking in the woods, camping, and bowling. One of her favorite things is the opportunity to watch the wildlife which often moves through the yard of her semi-rural home.</span>

 **The Remus Brothers 6** **Houston** Devin has already survived hell but must survive it again. Nearly two years ago, Devin's life turned to hell. His mother's boyfriend had Devin's son taken from him, and since then, Devin has been fighting to get Jordan back. Devin's kidnapping has made matters worse—that is, until Houston steps up to the plate and bends over backward to help Devin out. Devin isn’t sure he can trust the man, but he finds Houston isn’t an easy man to push away. When Houston goes with his brothers to kill Bowman—a hyena who drugged Cross's mate—he finds Devin. He's at his wit's end with his mate. Devin is secretive and hell-bent on keeping Houston shut out of his life. But when Houston’s mate finally tells him what's going on, their problems only grow. Cyrus, the man who had Jordan taken away, has escaped from prison, and he has one goal in mind: make Devin pay. **Genre:** Alternative (M/M, Gay),

Heroes in the Dark: A Novel

Jack G. M. FitzGerald

Jack G. M. FitzGerald grew up in Wichita, KS with his mother, father, and older sister. He spent much of his childhood out of doors, earning the Eagle Scout award in early high school. During this time, he developed a love of science, especially physics, as well as a desire to join the military. He graduated from East High Schools International Baccalaureate program. Having been accepted into the United States Air Force Academy, Jack spent the next four years among the Rocky Mountains of Colorado Springs. At the Academy he enjoyed flying and teaching others to fly through the sailplane program. With the most instructional sorties of any cadet in his class, he was chosen as the top soaring instructor pilot of a semester. As well as science, Jack studied the humanities as a student of the Academy Scholars Program. For his capstone project, he helped build a scientific instrument that was flown on the International Space Station. Jack graduated in the top 15% of his Academy class, majoring in physics. Following his time in Colorado, Jack accepted an offer to attend the Air Force Institute of Technology, graduating with a Master of Science degree in nuclear physics. Jack was presented the Deans Award and Commandants Award for the best thesis at the department and school levels, respectively. He published a paper in the journal IEEE Transactions on Nuclear Science, and filed a patent for that work. Jack is currently stationed at the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA), where he serves as a physicist and project manager for Technical Reachback, a Chemical Biological Radiological Nuclear (CBRN) and WMD analysis center.

God's Own Design - Photographic Journey Through Nature

Bhavesh Shukla

An engineer by profession and serving as a Process Safety Manager for a large chemical manufacturing company in Singapore, Bhavesh Shukla hails from the small Indian town of Amreli. He discovered his love of nature in Singapore, a city nestled with numerous lush, green and well-maintained parks and gardens. The mesmerising beauty of Singapore's parks ignited his passion for nature photography that eventually led him to take more than 3,000 stunning images across 36 parks. Awestruck by the intricacies and beauty of God's gift in the form of nature and inspired by the support of his family and friends, the author is humbly presenting his work to a wider audience. Bhavesh is a member of the Nature Photographic Society of Singapore and the Photographic Society of Singapore.

The Photographic Experience, 18391914: Images and Attitudes

Heinz K. Henisch

The social impact of 19th-century photography as amusement, popular science, advertising, journalism, art form and personal memento is documented in this massive volume which will be of interest primarily to scholars. Heinz Henisch, a professor of the history of photography at Penn State, and Bridget Henisch, the author of Fast and Feast , have assembled an astonishing amount of archival material to record the ingenious and often humorous uses to which the medium has been put: photo-montages to create a family tree or class reunion; a double-exposure showing a man in the gesture of toasting his own health; and elaborate portrait-studio background sets comprising snowfalls, palatial interiors and dulcet gardens. Each of the 500 illustrations is intriguing in its own right--including the cartoons bemoaning or poking fun at photography itself. <br />Copyright 1994 Reed Business Information, Inc.

PART ONE 1 Specialty of the Photograph One day, quite some time ago, I happened on a photograph of Napoleon's youngest brother, Jerome, taken in 1852. And I realized then, with an amazement I have not been able to lessen since: "I am looking at eyes that looked at the Emperor." Sometimes I would mention this amazement, but since no one seemed to share it, nor even to understand it (life consists of these little touches of solitude), I forgot about it. My interest in Photography took a more cultural turn. I decided I liked Photography in opposition to the Cinema, from which I nonetheless failed to separate it. This question grew insistent. I was overcome by an "ontological" desire: I wanted to learn at all costs what Photography was "in itself," by what essential feature it was to be distinguished from the community of images. Such a desire really meant that beyond the evidence provided by technology and usage, and despite its tremendous contemporary expansion, I wasn't sure that Phot

Denial: Why Business Leaders Fail to Look Facts in the Face---and What to Do About It

Richard S. Tedlow

Starred Review. Author and Harvard business administration professor Tedlow (Andy Grove: The Life and Times of an American Business Icon) asserts that "denial goes hand-in-hand with short-term thinking," a problem that arises when a business "that once might have focused on getting the job done now is concerned with getting done with the job." The history of industry is rich with such cases, a number of which Tedlow examines with thorough understanding of both business and psychology: the initial brilliance of Henry Ford's Model T assembly lines gave way to significant setbacks when they failed to take the threat of Europe's radial tires seriously; the "great" grocery chain A&amp;P was sunk by executives who "celebrated the statistics they liked." Tedlow also surveys the "edifice complex," in which struggling but respected companies erect monuments to themselves (like the Sears Tower) rather than tackling real challenges. Contrasting successes include tenacious DuPont, Intel's chief truth-seeker Andy Grove, and Johnson &amp; Johnson, which faced almost insurmountable challenges head-on during the toxic Tylenol crisis. Tedlow discusses ways to overcome the denial inherent to human nature as well as the institutional variety, cautioning against "yes" men, the vocabulary of euphemisms, and trash-talking the competition: "What am I using this derision to hide-perhaps from myself?"

The Path of Muhammad: A Book on Islamic Morals & Ethics by Imam Birgivi (Spiritual Classics)

Shaykh Tosun Bayrak

This long-awaited classic of Islamic spirituality fulfills important needs in scholarship on the history of Sufism and in the contemporary search for spiritual direction in todays troubled world. Imam Birgivis manual of ethical conduct and spiritual practice details the "Path of Muhammad" (al-Tariqah al-Muhammadiyyah), a Sufi method created in late fifteenth century Morocco and disseminated as far as India and beyond through the mediation of Ottoman Sufi masters. This path seeks to instill the sunnah of Muhammad not only through imitation of the Prophets outward behavior, but more importantly, by teaching one to assimilate the Prophets inner spiritual states. In this way, the seeker becomes empowered to find a personal solution to the challenges of the times without merely repeating the answers of the past. Shaykh Tosun Bayraks lucid and at times lyrical translation of Imam Birgivis text gives new life to this work and makes the reader believe it was written yesterday, not five centuries ago. In an era of rampant fundamentalism and simplistic and politicized responses to the worlds problems, this work reminds us that the greater struggle is within ourselves, and that the life of the body cannot be improved without the transformation of the soul. The term, al-Tariqah al-Muhammadiyyah, appears to have been used for the first time by the Moroccan Sufi Abdallah al-Ghazwani (d. 1528-9). A Bedouin by origin, Ghazwani is one of the famous "Seven Saints" of Marrakech and is known locally as Mul al-Qusur (Master of Palaces). In his works, Ghazwani also refers to the Path of Muhammad as the "Method of the Muhammadan Sunnah" (Madhhab al-Sunnah al-Muhammadiyyah) and the "Technique of Archetypal Perception" (Suluk al-Nazrah al-Azaliyyah). The link between this Moroccan Sufi and Imam Birgivis teachers may have been the Egyptian jurist, Sufi, and Quran commentator Muhammad al-Laqani (d. 1528-9), who corresponded extensively with Ghazwani about the details of al-Tariqah al-Muhammadiyyah. Sufis of the Qadiriyyah Sufi order ultimately passed on these doctrines throughout the Ottoman Empire and South Asia. In Ghazwanis version of the Path of Muhammad, the key figure is the "Bell Saint" (al-Jaras), the axial Sufi teacher of his time, who can hear the "pealing" or reverberation of the divine archetypes on the verge of their actualization into forms. The ability of the Bell Saint to teach his followers to perceive these reverberations is based on his assumption of the Prophetic Inheritance (al-wirathah al-nabawiyyah), which comes about through the assimilation of the Prophets inner sunnah or spiritual consciousness. Ghazwanis concept of the Bell Saint comes from a famous tradition, found in the hadith collections of Bukhari, Tirmidhi, and Nasai, where the Prophet describes the sound of divine revelation as like the clanging of a bell. In the words of Ahmad al-Buni (d. 1225), an earlier Sufi who used this metaphor, "The bell tolls for each man. He who listens to it is elevated and is taken from the world for union with Allah, which is the goal of prayer."

The Thieves of Tyburn Square: Elizabeth Fry (Trailblazer Books #17)

Dave and Neta Jackson

Gr. 3^-6. The latest subject in the Trailblazer Books series is Elizabeth Fry, a Quaker who lived in the early 1800s and fought for prison reform. As in the previous series books, the authors dramatize a historical subject by adding fictionalized children to the cast of characters. After their mother is deported, Betsey and Loren Maxwell are left to their own devices and eventually turn to picking pockets to support themselves. When they are caught and jailed, Elizabeth Fry enters the picture, intervening on their behalf. The characters are flat, with Levy the most convincing, but the book does lend insight into the Quaker faith and its commitment to social causes, and an appended fact section will give kids additional details about Fry's struggles to obtain more humane treatment for prisoners. A bibliography is also included. <i>Shelley Townsend-Hudson</i>

The Ghost of the Executed Engineer: Technology and the Fall of the Soviet Union (Russian Research Center Studies)

Loren Graham

In this gem of a book, Loren R. Graham, our foremost authority on Soviet science and technology, draws the reader into the life story of Peter Palchinsky, a remarkable Soviet engineer who was executed in 1929 for treason...Like all memorable books, [this one] leaves the reader wrestling with large questions. The fate of Palchinsky was specific to Stalinist Russia, but the story Mr. Graham tells prompts us to reflect on the tenuous position of the state-supported social critic in all places, at all times. (Susan Gross Solomon <i>New York Times Book Review</i>)<br /><br />Loren Graham has written a wonderful book about the relationship between technology and society. He has woven together an account of the life and work of a Russian engineer, Peter Palchinsky, and an analysis of the failures of Soviet engineering projects. The result is an elegant and concise essay on the dangers of engineering which ignores human values...This superb book distills in a vivid and moving way the results of Graham's many years of research on Soviet science and technology. (David Holloway <i>Science</i>)<br /><br />Loren Graham clarifies important questions concerning the interface between politics and technology, the significance of which extend beyond the Soviet experience. Among the most striking of these is the way his examples illustrate how arbitrary political power can be deployed both to impose irrational policies, which flew in the face of scientific laws, technical parameters and human capabilities, and to misrepresent their consequences for public consumption...This book will provide an invaluable insight into the long-term impact of Stalinism on Soviet technical culture. (Peter Kneen <i>Times Higher Education Supplement</i>)<br /><br />[A] provocative and engaging volume. (S. Frederick Starr <i>New Republic</i>)<br /><br />This remarkable book by Loren R. Graham deals with one of the many independent minds crushed by the Soviet government. (Hiroaki Kuromiya <i>American Historical Review</i>)<br /><br />A terrific read, and a needed reminder of what happens when technology is loosed from social responsibility. (Chet Raymo <i>Boston Globe</i>)

Analytical Assessment of e-Cigarettes: From Contents to Chemical and Particle Exposure Profiles (Emerging Issues in Analytical Chemistry)

Konstantinos E. Farsalinos

Konstantinos E. Farsalinos, M.D., is a research fellow at the Onassis Cardiac Surgery Center in Athens, Greece, and at the Department of Pharmacy, University of Patras, Greece. He has been conducting laboratory and clinical research on e-cigarettes as a principal investigator since 2011. Examples of his work include the first study on the cytotoxic effects of e-cigarette vapor on cultured cells and the immediate effects of e-cigarette use on cardiac function and coronary circulation. He ran a worldwide online survey of almost 20,000 vapers (users of e-cigarettes) identifying patterns of use and experience with e-cigarettes among consumers, published in 2014. He has presented his research findings at major international scientific congresses and his research was used in preparing the regulatory framework on e-cigarettes by the European Union. As of 2016, he has published more than 40 studies and articles in international peer-reviewed scientific journals about smoking, tobacco harm reduction, and e-cigarettes.<br /><br />Gene Gillman received his PhD in Chemistry from Wake Forest University, Winston-Salem, North Carolina. He is now Laboratory Director at Enthalpy Analytical, Inc., Durham, North Carolina. He has considerable experience in investigating the constituents and chemistry of tobacco smoke, and in developing and validating relevant LC, LC-MS, GC-MS, and biological based test methods. He brings experience from both the cigarette manufacturing and tobacco testing contract research organization perspectives to his work with domestic and international study groups and trade organizations.<br /><br />Stephen Hecht received his PhD from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and is currently the Wallin Land Grant Professor of Cancer Prevention, Department of Laboratory Medicine and Pathology at the University of Minnesota. His research interests include mechanisms of metabolic activation and DNA modification by carcinogens in tobacco products and the human environment, and application of this knowledge to cancer prevention. His laboratory focuses on the properties of carcinogenic nitrosamines, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, and aldehydes. Using state-of-the-art mass spectrometry and related techniques, he has developed analytical methods for quantitation of carcinogen and toxicant metabolites and DNA adducts in laboratory animals and in human urine, blood, and tissues. These biomarkers are applied in collaborative clinical and epidemiologic studies. Stable isotope-labelled carcinogens and their analogues are employed in tobacco users to track individual differences in metabolism. The effects of naturally occurring potentially cancer-chemopreventive compounds on carcinogen metabolism in humans are also investigated. Among his numerous distinctions, Dr. Hecht has authored or co-authored over 700 peer-reviewed research publications, is Editor-in-Chief of Chemical Research in Toxicology, and in 2014 was named an American Association for the Advancement of Science Fellow.<br /><br />Riccardo Polosa is the Director of the Institute for Internal Medicine and Clinical Immunology of the University of Catania, Italy. He is also in charge of the University's Centre for Tobacco Research (CPCT) and is Honorary Professor of Medicine at University of Southampton, UK. An internationally recognized leader in the field of clinical bronchoprovocation (airway-challenge studies), he has published more than 250 peer-reviewed articles and books, mainly on respiratory medicine, clinical immunology, and tobacco addiction. After many years of service as President of the Italian Anti-Smoking League (LIAF: Lega Italiana Anti Fumo), he now serves as its Chief Scientific Advisor.<br /><br />Jonathan Thornburg received his PhD in aerosol physics and engineering from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. He is Director of Exposure and Aerosol Technology at RTI International. His research interests over several decades involve four key areas of expertise: (1) development of aerosol exposure instrumentation, (2) aerosol exposure modelling, (3) understanding the physical and chemical properties of aerosols and (4) understanding aerosol fate and transport in outdoor and indoor environments. These cornerstones are applied in laboratory and field studies to effectively research the entire exposure-dose-response paradigm. He recently led a study of e-cigarette emissions characteristics and the potential for second-hand exposure. The study found that emissions are a mixture of nanometer-size particles and vapors composed of the carrier liquid, nicotine, flavorings, and artificial colors. Respiratory deposition modelling predicted that more than half of the emissions are exhaled into the ambient air by the user, so the potential for second-hand exposure is high.

Edward VI: The Lost King of England

Chris Skidmore

Skidmore, a Ph.D. candidate in Tudor history and adviser to the British shadow secretary for education, provides a revealing glimpse into the tumultuous six-year reign of Edward VI, who ascended to the English throne in 1547, at the age of 10, following the death of his father, Henry VIII. Edward's youth and brilliant precocity led many to hope his reign would be kinder and gentler than Henry's, and the young monarch was likened to the biblical King Josiah, who dramatically reformed Judah after the tyranny of King Manasseh. Young Edward was scholarly, studied theology and left more than 100 essays, one of them denouncing the papacy. During his reign the Church of England continued to flourish and grow. But Edward's rule was also a time of political, economic and religious crisis marked by intrigue and deceit. His own uncle and adviser, Thomas Seymour, was sent to the block for attempting to kidnap Edward, and his sister Mary refused to give up the banned Catholic mass. Skidmore's fast-paced biography, which draws on Edward's journals and correspondence, brings this king and his brief reign to vivid life. 16 pages of color photos. <i>(Nov.)</i> <br />Copyright Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.

NATURAL MEDICINE by Mawlana Sheikh Nazim This is a short introduction for a new medicine and treatment booklet. People in our days are very much in need of this, because illness are increasing and it is becoming more and more impossible for physicians or scientists to find names, treatments or medicines to cure these illnesses. Simple illnesses have simple medicines, but during the development of mankind and the growing up of disobedience, the illnesses also started to be disobedient against the medicines and could not be cured anymore. By permission of Allah Almighty a very grave illness can also be defeated by simple medicine but the more mankind became disloyal and disobedient to Divine Laws, the more illnesses were impossible to cure, even the most simple ones. Nowadays you must use so many medicines for curing. Don’t believe that those medicines and operations are of any use! If people were obedient servants, Allah Almighty could be able to give healt

Let the Great World Spin: A Novel

Colum McCann

This is a gorgeous book, multilayered and deeply felt, and its a damned lot of fun to read, too. Leave it to an Irishman to write one of the greatest-ever novels about New York. Theres so much passion and humor and pure lifeforce on every page of <i>Let the Great World Spin</i> that youll find yourself giddy, dizzy, overwhelmed.<b>Dave Eggers</b><i><br /> </i><br /> In his own gritty and lyrical voice, Colum McCann has lifted up a handful of souls to the light in this big-hearted, adroit and probing novel, and brought forth a spectrum of the painful, the beautiful and the unexpected.<b>Amy Bloom</b><br /><br /> Every character grabs you by the throat and makes you care. McCanns dazzling polyphony walks the high wire and succeeds triumphantly.<b>Emma Donoghue, author of <i>Room</i></b><br /><br /> What a book! Complex and captivating . . . a very sensual novel.<b>John Boyne, author of <i>The Boy in the Striped Pajamas</i><br /> </b><br /> Now I worry about Colum McCann. What is he going to do after this blockbuster groundbreaking heartbreaking symphony of a novel? No novelist writing of New York has climbed higher, dived deeper.<b>Frank McCourt, author of <i>Angelas Ashes</i></b><br /><br /> With Philippe Petits breathless 1974 tightrope walk between the uncompleted WTC towers at its axis, Colum McCannoffers us a lyrical cycloramic high-low portrait of New York Cityin its days of burning; Park Avenue matrons, Bronx junkies, Center Street judges, downtown artists and their uptown subway-tagging brethren, street priests, weary cops, wearier hookers, grieving mothers of an Asian war freshly put to bed; a masterful chorus of voices all obliviously connected by the most ephemeral vision; a pin-dot of a man walking on air 110 stories above their heads.<b>Richard Price, author of <i>Lush Life</i></b><i><br /><br /> </i>Stunning . . . [an] elegiac glimpse of hope . . . Its a novel rooted firmly in time and place. It vividly captures New York at its worst and best. But it transcends all that. In the end, its a novel about familiesthe ones were born into and the ones we make for ourselves.<b><i>USA Today</i></b><br /><br /> The first great 9/11 novel . . .<i></i>It is a pre-9/11 novel that delivers the sense that so many of the 9/11 novels have missed: We are all dancing on the wire of history, and even on solid ground we breathe the thinnest of air.<b></b><i><b>Esquire</b><br /><br /> </i>Mesmerizing . . . a Joycean look at the lives of New Yorkers changed by a single act on a single day . . . Colum McCanns marvelously rich novel . . . weaves a portrait of a city and a moment, dizzyingly satisfying to read and difficult to put down.<b><i>The</i></b><i><b>Seattle Times</b><br /> </i><br /> Vibrantly whole . . . With a series of spare, gorgeously wrought vignettes, Colum McCann brings 1970s New York to life. . . . And as always, McCanns heart-stoppingly simple descriptions wow.<b></b><i><b>Entertainment Weekly</b><br /><br /> </i>An act of pure bravado, dizzying proof that to keep your balance you need to know how to fall.<b><i>O: The Oprah Magazine</i></b><br /><br /> The Great New York Novel. With echoes of Wolfe, Doctorow, and DeLillo, Colum McCanns mesmerizing <i>Let the Great World Spin</i> is a prophetic portrait of New York City in the summer of 1974. . . . A fine introduction to a major talent. It is one of the years best novels.<b>Taylor Antrim, <i>The Daily Beast</i></b><br /><br /> [McCann] both resurrects and redeems the horrors of Sept. 11, creating a metaphorical landscape of human endurance in the face of unspeakable tragedy. . . . This is McCannsgift, finding grace in grief and magic in the mundane.<b><i>San Francisco Chronicle</i></b><br /><br />A shimmering, shattering novel. In McCanns wise and elegiac novel of origins and consequences, each of his finely drawn, unexpectedly connected characters balances above an abyss, evincing great courage with every step.<b><i>Booklist </i>(<i>s</i>tarred review)</b><br /><br /> If William Butler Yeats and Allen Ginsberg had written a novel together, it would be this sad, this deep, this urban, this manic and this highly charged. . . . McCanns powerhis language, his human understanding, his visionholds us in an embrace as encompassing as the great world itself.<b><i>TheBuffalo News</i></b><br /><br /> Beautiful, heady . . . As worn down as McCannscharacters are, they each struggle heroically against lifes downward pull, and thats what makes the novel so powerfully uplifting.<b><i>Richmond Times-Dispatch</i> </b><br /><br /> Seductive [with a] propulsive pace . . . This is a New York teeming with leathery men and vicious beauties. The city itself is a stalled machine. People dont arrive here; they crawl into it. McCanns style is lyrical and sharp, as he expertly weaves together the lives of a handful of seemingly disparate characters.<b><i>The Oregonian</i></b><br /><br /> Sprawling, lyrical . . . McCann [is a] novelist you should know a lot more about.<b><i>New York</i></b><i><br /> </i><br /><br /><br /><i>From the Hardcover edition.</i>

It was a few minutes past seven on a rainy evening. The after-work crowd had drifted away and the place was fairly quiet. I didn't feel like sitting, so I stood, leaning against the bar.

The Lady Most Likely...: A Novel in Three Parts

Julia Quinn

A near-fatal accident with one of his beloved horses prompts Hugh Dunne, the Earl of Briarly, to realize it is time to get married. The only problem is that while Hugh might know horses, he knows nothing about women, which is why he turns to his sister Carolyn, the Marchioness of Finchley. Not only does Carolyn compile a select listing of the season&#x2019;s most sought-after ladies, including the delightfully blunt Katherine Peyton and reigning beauty Gwendolyn Passmore. She invites them, as well as war-hero Captain Neill Oakes and newly titled Alec Darlington, to a country-house party. Now all Hugh has to do is select his bride, but he had better hurry, because it turns out he has some serious competition for the ladies. Quinn, Eloisa James, and Connie Brockway, three RITA Award winners, team up to create a novel in three parts, and the resulting book is a truly original, delightfully amusing treat. The Lady Most Likely . . . sparkles with wit, sizzles with sensuality, and, most important, is superbly satisfying. --John Charles

The Emperor and the Saint: Frederick II of Hohenstaufen, Francis of Assisi, and Journeys to Medieval Places

Richard F. Cassady

<DIV><P>&ldquo;The author has written a truly gripping biography of the Hohenstaufen Emperor Frederick II.&#160;Cassady offers many exciting insights, and brings this extraordinary personality well to life. Moreover, he has succeeded in shedding light on the social-historical and cultural context.&rdquo;&mdash;Albrecht Classen, author of <I>The Medieval Chastity Belt: A Myth-Making Process</I></P></DIV><br /><br /><DIV><P>&ldquo;This book offers accessible history with a&#160;magnificent sense of place and personalities.&rdquo;&#160;&mdash;Martin Marix Evans, author of <I>Naseby 1645: The Triumph of the New Model Army</I></P></DIV><br /><br /><DIV><P>"There is a certain poetry in the juxtaposition of these two very different lives.... [This is] a good introduction to a rich and varied period of European history and to two of its more remarkable personalities. The excursions around the streets of Italian and German cities ... add romance and atmosphere and make one feel, as the best guidebooks do, that one would like to know the author better. The result is definitely a book to be consumed on an Italian hillside, with a bottle of Frascati in hand."</P></DIV> (<i>Wall Street Journal</i>)

Brainstorm: A Medical Murder Mystery

Sheldon Cohen

A graduate of the University of Illinois College of Medicine, Sheldon Cohen has practiced internal medicine and served as a medical director of the Alexian Brother's Medical Center of Northwest Suburban Chicago and as medical director of two managed care organizations: Cigna Health plan of Illinois and Humanicare Plus of Illinois. The author taught internal medicine and physical diagnosis to medical students from Loyola University Stritch School of Medicine and the Chicago Medical School. Recognizing the fact that busy physicians are pressed for time and thus often fail to capture a thorough medical history, the author perfected one of the first computerized medical history systems for private practice and wrote a paper on his experience with 1,500 patients who utilized the system. This was one of the early efforts in promoting electronic health records, a work in progress to this day. The author served as a consultant for joint commission resources of the joint commission on accreditation of health-care organizations, did quality consultations at hospitals in the United States, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, Copenhagen, Denmark, and served as a consultant to the Ministry of Health in Ukraine, assisting them in the development of a hospital accrediting body. Dr. Cohen is the author of twenty-six books.

Simon & Schuster's Guide to Dogs

Simon & Schuster

<P> <B>Chapter 1</B> <P> <B>1 GERMAN SHEPHERD<BR> Deutscher Sch&#228;ferhund</B> <P> <B>Origin</B> There are different theories regarding the origin of the German shepherd: that the breed was the result of crosses between the various breeds of sheepdog existing in Germany, or that it resulted from the spontaneous mating of shepherd bitches and wolves. The answer is lost in the darkness of time. However, it is known that the first German shepherds (long-haired) were presented at Hanover in 1882, and the short-haired variety was first presented in Berlin in 1889. <P> <B>Description</B> Ideal height: dogs, 24 to 26 inches (60-65 cm.); bitches, 22 to 24 inches (55-60 cm.). Weight: 77 to 85 pounds (35-40 kg.). It has a sturdy, muscular, slightly elongated body with a light hut solid bone structure. Its head should be in proportion to its body; forehead a little convex; strong scissors bite; ears, wide at the base, pointed, upright, and turned forward (the ears of puppies under six months may droop slightly). Eyes: almond-shaped, never protruding, dark, with a lively, intelligent expression. Its bushy tail reaches almost to its hocks and hangs down when the dog is at rest. Its front legs and shoulders are muscular; its thighs, thick and sturdy. It has round feet with very hard soles. Colors: black, iron gray, ash gray; either uniform or with regular shading of brown, yellow, or light gray. There are three varieties: rough-coated, long rough-coated, and long-haired. <P> <B>Personality</B> Bold, cheerful, obedient, steady, loyal, affectionate with its master and with children, tolerant of other animals, wary of strangers, easily trained. <P> <B>Uses</B> The breed came into being as a leader of flocks. Due to its intelligence and its outstanding character, it has also been used in time of war (carrying messages under fire and across mine fields), as a rescue dog (in water, in the mountains, and through fire), as a police dog (it can follow a trail several days old). But the German shepherd is unbeatable as a guard dog where it can display its fine reflexes and its lightning-quick attack. It always performs the work requested of it with good will and enthusiasm. <P> <B>2 BELGIAN SHEEPDOG<BR> Groenendael</B> <P> <B>Origin</B> There have been Belgian sheepdogs for centuries, but the breed as we know it was Isolated in 1891 by Professor Reul of the Belgian faculty of veterinary sciences. Professor Reul recognized three main types: long-haired, short-haired, and shaggy-haired. Later, in 1907, It was established that the long-haired variety should be black, the short-haired variety should be fawn and charcoal, and the shaggy, or rough-coated, variety should be ash gray. The Groenendael, a completely black long-haired Belgian sheepdog, was developed by the breeder Nicholas Rose, who lived in Groenendael, a few miles outside of Brussets. <P> <B>Description</B> The Groenendael should have a sleek black coat somewhat thicker at the neck. Ideal height: dogs, 25 inches (63 cm.); bitches, 23 inches (58 cm.). Average weight: about 62 pounds (28 kg.). Ears: small and erect, triangular in shape. Eyes: brown, slightly almond-shaped. Legs: straight and muscular. <P> <B>Personality</B> Continued selective breeding has attempted to eliminate excessive timidity from the Groenendael's personality. The majority of these dogs are endowed with intelligence and long memories. They are obedient, brave, and docile in the home. <P> <B>Uses</B> The Groenendael is an outstanding herder and guard dog. It is adept as a police dog and is good with children. <P> <B>3 BELGIAN TERVUREN</B> <P> <B>Origin</B> The Tervuren is one of the breeds developed in 1891 by the Belgian school of veterinary science under the direction of Professor Reul. It is an extremely close relative of the Groenendael, both physically and temperamentally, so much so in fact that a Tervuren pup can be born from the mating of two Groenendaels. <P> <B>Description</B> The Tervuren differs from the Groenendael in the color of its coat, which is blackened fawn, abundantly thick and without curl. Average height: dogs, about 25 inches (63 cm.); 10% less for bitches. Weight should be about 62 pounds (28 kg.). Eyes: brown, slightly almond-shaped. Ears: triangular. Body: powerful but not heavy. Teeth: scissors bite. The Tervuren is the most robust of the Belgian sheepdogs and is therefore used by breeders to strengthen related breeds. <P> <B>Personality</B> Like the Groenendael, the Tervuren is prized for its quick intelligence, its courage, and the ease with which it can be trained. It is deeply devoted to its owner and is very possessive, giving and demanding attention and affection. It should have a firm hand. <P> <B>Uses</B> Originally used for guarding sheep, the breed is a fine devoted protector of its family and home. <P> <B>Note</B> Belgian sheepdogs have formidable appetites. Their feeding should be watched carefully to avoid overweight. <P> Copyright &copy; 1980 by Arnoldo Mondadori Editore S.p.A., Milano

The Killings on Jubilee Terrace: A Novel of Suspense

Robert Barnard

Last seen in Diamond Dagger Awardwinner Barnard's <i>A Fall from Grace</i> (2007), Det. Insp. Charlie Peace investigates deadly doings surrounding a long-running TV soap opera, <i>Jubilee Terrace</i>, filmed in Leeds in a novel of suspense sharing more than a passing kinship with the world of TV soaps: the craftsmanship is never less than professional, the plot keeps percolating, but by the end, the reader is unlikely to give it a second thought. The opening roster of characters on <i>Jubilee Terrace</i> and the actors who portray them is useful, since apart from Peacewho shows up on the set to look into the tip that an unpopular thespian's death might not have been accidentaland a few others, it's tough to keep the players straight. The ante escalates after a fire claims two lives, though Bernard miscalculates by tipping what should be the climactic twist too early. Fans may enjoy catching up with Peace, but other mystery buffs will find little cause for jubilation. <i>(May)</i> <br />Copyright Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.

Missing Persons: A Writer's Guide to Finding the Lost, the Abducted and the Escaped (Howdunit Series)

Fay Faron

Fay Faron first discovered her proclivity for detective work when the houseboat she'd just bought sank in Sausalito's Richardson Bay and it behooved her to track down the boat's elusive previous resident. She is the founder of the Rat Dog Dick Detective Agency (seriously!) in San Francisco, and a regular guest on <i>Oprah!</i>. She has written an informative, entertaining, nay, hilarious guide for anyone writing about detectives and missing persons (MPs). <i>Missing Persons</i> tells us who is most likely to become a private investigator (PI), who is likely to go missing (or merely misplaced), and who would want to find them (hint: "the working PI's motto often is 'The client is not always right and often is not even sane.'"). We learn how and why people hide their whereabouts, and how to go about locating them. While 95 percent of a PI's work is done sitting at a desk, says Faron, "sooner or later your detective has to actually get off his duff and go out into the real world and burn up some calories." This is called "gumshoeing," and includes such scintillating activities as surveillance ("newspaper reading, coffee drinking and bladder rending") and dumpster-diving ("although I'd sooner admit to wearing Tan- In-A-Bottle to my high school reunion, I will concede there are lots of treasures to be found in day-to-day debris"). The appendices list PI licensing requirements by state and state laws regarding taping telephone conversations and such, so you don't make a fool of yourself. Faron works in fabulous, unbelievable examples from her 15 years in the business and lines such as this, about one MP who was discovered to be alive, not dead: "Dr. Mort had not, in fact, taken a dirt nap."

# Chapter: Ascen Changes Anthony dropped from where he had been standing in the air. Trials were continuing across Ascen, through the capital and the surrounding land. Chains were struck off the slaves as people from the different races looked up with fear, with excitement. Most looked around in disbelief. Some stood there, thinking it was a trick; others fled. Anthony looked from the top of the tower, seeing the chaos in the streets, the hundreds who were called to trial, the chains that wrapped them up. “Just how far have we fallen?” He couldn’t keep the sadness out of his voice. *** Aila watched as Anthony landed. “What he said about Laisa, is that true?” Tommie demanded, his eyes wide and disbelieving. “Not even the Drafeng can lie to a Guardian,” Anthony said. “We need to go there now!” Tommie turned for the door. “What are you waiting for?” Seeing that despondent look on his face, Aila’s heart twisted. “We need to stabilize Ascen

America in An Arab Mirror: Images of America in Arabic Travel Literature: An Anthology

K. Abdel-Malek

"To see ourselves as others see us" can be a surprising, annoying, even humbling experience. The mutual insights and misapprehensions of Near Easterners and Europeans were gathered by veteran scholar Bernard Lewis in <i>A Middle East Mosaic</i>. Here, Abdel-Malek, an Arabic and Islamic studies professor at the University of Alberta, Edmonton, selects Arab travelers' descriptions of the U.S. (many first available here in English) over the last century. Abdel-Malek groups his selections around themes, including America as "the unchanged other," "the seductive female," "the dream and the reality," and "an example to emulate"; separate chapters are devoted to the observations of Arab women travelers, and to Arab writers' satirical commentary. In addition to a brief preface, the editor supplies headnotes that identify each author and place their comments in context. Work and play, ideas and practicalities are among the subjects addressed; one Egyptian-American businessman urges his readers to learn to dance before they immigrate to America! An instructive collection in a globalizing world. <i>Mary Carroll</i><br /><i>Copyright American Library Association. All rights reserved</i>

The Theory of Light and Matter (Vintage Contemporaries)

Andrew Porter

Andrew Porters fiction is thoughtful, lucid and highly controlled. . . . He has the kind of voice one can accept as universalhonest and grave, with transparency as its adornment. Marilynne Robinson<br /><br />Luminous . . . Porters writing [is] in direct dialogue with the work of John Cheever and Raymond Carver . . . A memorable debut that honors the history of the short story form while blazing a new trajectory all its own. <i>Atlanta Journal-Constitution</i><br /><br />This collection deserves to be read and reread . . . While Porters young characters havent yet fallen on the hard times that Carvers have, their sensitivity is just as stirring and their subtle moments of epiphany just as poignant . . . Porter is a master storyteller, a creator of tender and hopeful characters . . . We look forward to more from such an amazing talent. <i>Christian Science Monitor<br /></i><br />An exquisite collection. . . [With] hard-won grit and imagination to spare. <i>Time Out New York</i><br /><br />A remarkable collection . . . Each story is narrated in clear, spare language . . . Whatever thesecharacters are telling us about, in their deceptively simple way, were with them, willing them along, interested to hear and saddened to know. It takes a rare sort of artistry to establish such a bond . . . We end up truly moved. <i>Minneapolis Star-Tribune</i><br /><br />These beautiful stories feel safe and menacing at the same time. In bucolic suburbs and quiet college towns, the unspeakable happens. <i>Boston Globe</i><br /><br />A work of unadorned beauty [that] draws immediate comparison to the stories of Raymond Carver . . . Like Carver, Porter is expert in understanding the weak threads that hold together broken families and the way people suppress their disappointments and experience epiphanies far too late to make a difference. <i>Cleveland Plain Dealer</i><br /><br />In Andrew Porters stories, things happen. Of course, you say, things happen, but Porter builds his words around them . . . Porter is in it for the backward glance; he believes we might actually be able, if we look hard enough and study small movements, to predict the future. <i>Los Angeles Times </i>(Discoveries)<br /><br />If you are anything like me, you will read Andrew Porters <i>The Theory of Light and Matter</i> with the same feeling of simple gratitude that the first readers of Richard Fords <i>Rock Springs</i> must have experienced twenty years ago: here, you will think, is a true master of the short story, a writer of honesty and plainspoken poetry who knows the human soul in all its light and shadow and harnesses every sentence to the purpose of revealing it. Kevin Brockmeier<br /><br />A fantastic collection of short stories. <i>The Houston Chronicle</i><br /><br />Andrew Porter is a born storyteller. Every page of <i>The Theory of Light and Matter</i> will change something in your life and refresh you . . . He makes his own space instantly and invites you in. Hats off! Barry Hannah<br /><i></i><br />Andrew Porter is a writer whose work seems destined to attract an appreciative following . . . He demonstrates a sure handed grasp of plot and character and a restrained prose style reminiscent of craftsmen like Richard Ford and Tobias Wolff . . . Porter is adept at plotting the complex geometry of intimate relationships [and] has a sharp eye for the dance of family life. <i>Shelf Awareness <br /></i><br />Like taking a sip of the clearest mountain spring water. <i>Booklist</i><br /><i></i><br />Moving, original, and unforgettable, this is a must-own collection. <i>The Strand</i><br /><br />In Porters debut story collection, he casts an unflinching, psychological eye on modern suburban life, its failed and revised dreams, and the madness and illness that can chip away at families and relationships. <i>Poets &amp; Writers</i><br /><br />In a world where everything, including stories, seems to be moving so fast, reading Andrew Porters book is like stopping to catch your breathand remember. These stories are patient and rare, and, to my mind, permanent. This is the kind of book that you will keep taking off the shelf to read again and again because you want to re-capture what it felt like to read them for the first time. Peter Orner<br /><br />An impressive debut story collection . . . [Porters] characters lives seem placid and idyllic on the surface. Yet underneath, they are roiled by secrets. . . Loss, sacrifice, choice and responsibility are some of the other themes tightly woven into this impressive debut. <i>Dallas Morning News</i><br /><i></i><br />Andrew Porter can achieve more in a handful of pages than most writers can in a hundred. Ive read most of the stories in this collection two and three times, and I continue to marvel at how they can be so spare and rich at the same time. My favorite book of the year. Billy Taylor, <i>San Antonio Express-News</i> <br /><br />Wonderful . . . [a writer] of exceptional vision and voice. <i>Shenandoah</i><br /><br />[A] beautifully executed short story collection. . . Theres a crisp economy to these stories that nicely underpins their offbeat narratives. <i>Texas Monthly</i><br /><br />Moving . . . These ten stories are full of wisdom and deep sadness. Through Porters beautiful and restrained prose, they accumulate power slowly and deceptively until they become difficult to shake . . . [They] cut to the emotional quick of human experience with stunning compression. <i>The American Book Review</i><br /><br />Porters tales are brimming with characters both likable and bewilderingly human. We see in them our own flaws and shortcomings and desires. These are quintessentially stories about the desire for redemption, the search for meaning, and the need for human contact . . . Porter does a fantastic job of recreating these entrancing confluences of lives.<i>San Antonio Current</i>

Ghost Stories and How to Write Them

Kathleen McGurl

Kathleen McGurl lives in Bournemouth with her husband and younger son, her elder son having flown the nest. She always wanted to write, and for many years was waiting until she had the time. Eventually she came to the bitter realisation no one would pay her for a year off work to write a book, so she sat down and started to write one anyway. Since then she has sold dozens of short stories to womens magazines. These days she is concentrating on longer fiction, and is currently trying to find an agent for her full-length time-slip novel, while also writing another in the same genre. She works full time in the IT industry and when shes not writing, shes often out running, slowly.

A Functional Art: Reflections of a Hymn Writer

Timothy Dudley-Smith

What a delight to read this book by Timothy Dudley-Smith who is rightly acclaimed as one of the finest and most influential hymn writers of our time . . . He disarmingly claims that it is not a work of scholarship or even originality; but this is to underestimate the wealth of research which permeates every page . . . It is to be hoped that A Functional Art will now be introduced to a more general readership of all those who are involved in the business of liturgy and Christian witness, especially worship leaders, church musicians, writers, editors and broadcasters. Indeed, anyone with more than a passing interest in the technicalities of writing, especially in verse form, will find this to be an invaluable source of inspiration and information. A Functional Art should be a required text for all 'creative writing' courses! * Ian Sharp, Hymn Society Bulletin, Summer 2017 * In this elegantly written and thoughtful book, he [Timothy Dudley-Smith] reflects on what he describes as the 'functional art' of the hymn-writer . . . This is very much the work of a literary man . . . Substantial chapters explore such literary themes as content and form, meaning and language, and rhyme and metre . . . He proposes an interesting set of qualities as the marks of a good hymn: heartfelt, biblical, simple, deep, and uncontroversial . . . There is much here to enjoy in the author's rich compendium of personal anecdotes and reminiscences, quotations and reflections. There is also much to ponder in his discussion of the future of the hymn . . . As long as there are people like Tim Dudley-Smith still writing hymns that are both recognisably traditional and contemporary, there is surely a future for this particular 'functional art'. * Ian Bradley, Church Times, 21 July 2017 * Timothy Dudley-Smith celebrated his 90th birthday last December; rather than cutting back on his output, [he's produced] this outstanding collection of essays. If 'essays' sounds academic, these reflections are far from that - at times one feels as if in conversation with the author . . . Timothy Dudley-Smith has read widely, thought profoundly and clearly prayed intensely about hymnody. He has also listened to other voices to whom he gives considerable space; the range of quotations from other authors is remarkable and enlivens the writing. Whether one sees him as a major voice towards the end of a great tradition a a sort-of Sibelius in the symphonic tradition - or someone who helps to reinvigorate and show the way forward for a tradition still with a glorious future, this book should be essential reading for everyone concerned with hymnody. * Julian Elloway, Church Music Quarterly, June 2017 * This book is a treasure trove. Few other people can set a lifetime of appreciating and, eventually, writing good hymns alongside wide-ranging insights about worship, history, theology, poetry and language, all topped off with appropriate dollops of music hall and doggerel that slip seamlessly into the narrative . . . the book is an enjoyable and educational guided walk with a most engaging expert who wears his learning lightly . . . beginning hymn writers will find invaluable help and encouragement to hone their skills . . . there are insights for people who choose hymns in worship but have never wondered what makes a good hymn in an appropriate place, while people who know their way round hymns will find new perspectives. And, at times, it does not just inspire you, it makes you smile. * Rosalind Brown, Canon Librarian of Durham Cathedral, Praxis, June 2017 * [The back cover copy of this book] is a wholly inadequate description of one of the most important volumes about hymns and hymn-writing ever. For the avoidance of all doubt, I recommend it very highly indeed to anyone involved in hymns and planning Divine Worship . . . this is an author with a sharp perception of the place of music in worship and the effect music can have on words . . . Throughout this gripping volume there is constant reference, always in context, to other writers, not just on hymns, but on poetry and the technicalities of writing. The book is worth buying just for the chapter entitled 'Rhyme and Metre'. . . I cannot recommend this volume too highly. It is to hymns and hymnody what Bishop John Vernon Taylor's book The Go Between God is to the understanding of the place of The Holy Spirit in Christian Mission. * Barry Williams, Laudate (The Guild of Church Musicians), September 2017 *

Glaciers: Nature's Icy Caps (Earth Works)

David L. Harrison

Kindergarten-Grade 2This slim series entry takes a look at glaciers from the Ice Age to the <i>Titanic</i> disaster. Harrison includes facts on glacial formation, physical properties, and geological history. He has a poetic grasp of the kind of animated language that hooks young readers into nonfiction, yet his narrative is hindered by some inconsistencies and confusing usage. The pronunciation is given for the word calving, but not for words like Beringia or equator, and the author confusingly interchanges the terms iceberg and glacier. The discussion of Earth's warming trend and the melting glaciers makes it sound as though this is all part of a normal cycle. While the art technique is original, the illustrations are not always effective. The rendering of the <i>Titanic</i> hitting an iceberg works well in captivating children's attention, but the geological effects of melting glaciers are less clearly depicted. Source notes are not provided, and the author's note is geared toward older readers. There is a minimal section on further reading, but no glossary is offered to reinforce terms mentioned. Look to Roy A. Gallant's <i>Glaciers</i> (Watts, 1999), which has color photographs and a clearer text.<i>Michael Santangelo, Brooklyn Public Library, NY</i> <br />Copyright Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.

Crystal Oracle: Guidance from the Heart of the Earth

Toni Carmine Salerno

Toni Carmine Salerno is an intuitive artist and best-selling author with a strong interest in spirituality, philosophy and energy healing. Along with his wife Martine, he established the 'Blue Angel Centers for Wellbeing' in Melbourne, Australia which evolved into the publishing company, 'Blue Angel Gallery, Australia.' <br /> Through his work Toni lovingly explores and portrays both our physical and spiritual realities. The power of his work lies not in its subject matter, but rather, in the energy that each work emanates. Toni works intuitively; he does not plan what he will paint or write. Each work is an unfolding journey, a meditation packed with feeling and emotion. <br /> According to Toni, it is only when we let go of 'control' that the eternal source of creation within each of us, streams through. 'Preconceived ideas usually only serve to limit or restrict the true essence of the creative energy that we each possess.' Toni believes that this principle can be used not only to create art; but in every area of our lives. Our intuition helps us to connect with our spiritual selves. It helps us to connect to a timeless place that exists eternally within our hearts; a place where all is energetically interconnected and nothing is ever truly missing. Intuition is the guidance that stems from our soul.

WINGS OF BONE James Swallow AVES LIKED TO speak to Griffon. He made sure that the rest of the crew were not around when he did, lest their opinion of him sink any lower. The one occasion he’d been caught crooning to the machine, it had led - typically - to a punishment beating from Nilner. Aves thought about the hulking thug as he sat in the big gunnery officer’s chair, the same knot of impotent hate he always felt for the bully tightening in his chest. He ran an oilcloth over the triggers of the twin bolter cannons, wiping away the accumulated sweat and grease. ‘Just right,’ he told Griffon. ‘Good enough for the Emperor himself.’ Aves took the controls in his hands and placed his feet on the pedals. He felt at home there, nestled in the cupola across the shoulders of Griffon’s fuselage. To his left and right, the wings of the Marauder class bomber extended away, blunt leading edges pitched like the blades of a double-headed axe. A white design of the plane’s mythic namesake

SURVIVOR Steve Parker Bas was up and running full tilt before he even knew why. Part of his brain reacted the moment the cry went out, then his legs were moving, pounding the dusty alleyways as he flew from his pursuers. The first rule was simple: don’t be seen. He’d broken it only a few times since the monsters had come, and never by choice. This time, as before, it wasn’t through clumsiness. It wasn’t carelessness. It was just raw bad luck, plain and simple. He had taken all the usual precautions. He’d stuck to the shadows. He’d moved low and fast. He’d been patient and silent and constantly aware. But the monsters chasing him now, yapping and chittering joyously at the prospect of spilling his blood, had come from below. They had emerged from a sewer grate just a few metres behind him and the day’s quest for clean water was suddenly forgotten in favour of a far more pressing need. Bullets smacked into the alley walls on either side of him as he fled, blowing out little clouds of

Blood Ties: Language in the Blood Book 2 (Volume 2)

Angela Lockwood

Angela Lockwood-van der Klauw was born in the Netherlands. She learned her trade as a jeweller and gemmologist at the Vakschool Schoonhoven before moving to Edinburgh as an apprentice jeweller. There she met and later married her husband Adam. Angela ran her own jewellers shop in Edinburgh for ten years before she and her husband moved to the south of France in 2011. Like Cameron, Angela prefers the climate there, but often thinks about the town she left behind and its people. Camerons story was born in the spring of 2013, a very wet spring during which Angela found herself climbing the walls, frustrated that she couldnt go out and have her usual long walks along the seafront. Seeing his wifes frustration, Adam suggested Why dont you write a book? Angela thought about it for a few days, then switched on her laptop and started writing Language in the Blood. Blood Ties is the second book in the series and Angela has also published a collection of short stories Something Short with her friend, Elspeth Morrison.

# About Show Time ## A Juniper Ridge romantic comedy It’s a wacky concept. Take an abandoned cult compound and cast the cops, teachers, farmers, and nurses needed for a self-contained community. Throw in some cameras and presto! Instant TV hit. There’s only one family with the chops to make it work, so the Judsons pack up their LA lives for a fresh start in rural Oregon. Big brother Dean has brokered billions in Hollywood deals. Surely he can produce a tiny town from scratch? He just needs a finance guru to help him prep for showtime while Dean does his best to forget having his heart smashed to withered bits. Vanessa Vincent ticks all the boxes, with the bonus of zero interest in the mating game aspect of Juniper Ridge. Just give her some spreadsheets and leave her in peace to turn her own wrecked romances into little more than bad flashbacks. But Dean and Vanessa don’t count on their epic chemistr

Horror Literature: A Reader's Guide (Garland Reference Library of the Humanities)

Neil Barron

According to Barron, his survey is "partly designed to avoid the deficiencies" of Horror Literature: A Core Collection and Reference Guide ( LJ 8/81), edited by Marshall Tymn. Barron annotates almost 800 novels and collections, Tymn about 1100. The difference results primarily from Tymn's emphasis on "classic" Gothic literature. Barron also faults Tymn's lack of "critical rigor," but his own survey is not without problems. Space is devoted to contemporary writers of dubious importance, while others (Ballard, Golding) seem distinctly out of place. On the plus side, Barron pays far more attention to critical and biographical works (some 700 additional annotations to Tymn's some 300). Up until now Tymn's has been the standard, and libraries collecting in the field should probably have both books. Barron's is recommended with minor reservations, particularly for the edge it has in current titles, which go up to 1988. For a review of Barron's Fantasy Literature: A Reader's Guide , see p. 78.--Ed.<br /><i>-Grove Koger, Boise P.L., Id.</i><br />Copyright 1990 Reed Business Information, Inc.

# Praise for Brandon McNulty “ _Bad Parts_ asks the intriguing question, ‘What would you give up to make your body whole again? Can you put a price on your dreams?’ A page-turning tale of Faustian bargains, bad choices, and hard lessons.” —Alma Katsu, author of _The Deep_ and _The Hunger_ “ _Bad Parts_ is a non-stop thrill ride! It starts out breakneck fast and keeps accelerating—the twists keep coming tighter and darker as the novel races toward its grisly, unexpected, and thoroughly satisfying finish. This is exactly the kind of horror novel I love—I could not put this one down and read it all in a single day!” —John Everson, Bram Stoker Award-winning author of _Covenant_ and _The Devil’s Equinox_ "McNulty has crafted one of the most original horror novels in recent years.

The Sonic Landscape of Karanis: Excavating the Sounds of a Village in Roman Egypt T. G. Wilfong Sound is an integral part of most human experience, but the study of the ancient world rarely takes sound into account: apart from ancient music, the sonic environ- ments of ancient cultures have received little scholarly attention. The soundscapes of the ancient world are a rich potential source for investigation, however, and the methodologies of modern cultural historians who study sound can provide new insight into ancient cultures. The Michigan excavations at Karanis yielded a wide variety of material that can reveal much about the sonic landscapes of this ancient village, and, although still at a relatively early stage, my own research in this area has resulted in a cluster of projects centering on the sounds of Karanis. The tendency in historical scholarship has been to equate the study of sound in the past with the study of music, and indeed my own work on sound at Karanis

 [Begin Reading](The_Last_Continent_split_002.html#filepos827) Against the stars a turtle passes, carrying four elephants on its shell. Both turtle and elephants are bigger than people might expect, but out between the stars the difference between huge and tiny is, comparatively speaking, very small. But this turtle and these elephants are, by turtle and elephant standards, big. They carry the Discworld, with its vast lands, cloudscapes, and oceans. People don’t live on the Disc any more than, in less hand-crafted parts of the multiverse, they live on balls. Oh, planets may be the place where their body eats its tea, but they live elsewhere, in worlds of their own which orbit very handily around the center of their heads. When gods get together they tell the story of one particular planet whose inhabitants watched, with mild interest, huge continent-wrecking slabs of ice slap into another world which was, in astronomica

Once her tennis career had skyrocketed. Now, at the height of the US Open, the headlines were being made by another young player from the wrong side of the tracks. When Myron Bolitar investigates the killing he uncovers a connection between the two players and a six year old murder at an exclusive club. Suddenly Myron is in over his head. And with a dirty US senator, a jealous mother and the mob all drawn into the case, he finds himself playing the most dangerous game of all... Chapter 1 "Cesar Romero," Myron said. Win looked at him.

Victorian England: Portrait of an Age (Galaxy Books)

G.M. Young

This brilliant and evocative book is now widely regarded as the greatest single study of the age in any language. The late George Kitson Clark characterized it as "an historical essay of unique interest and importance." Though the book deserves to rank as a classic, its allusive style makes it rather difficult fare for the general reader. In less than two hundred pages Young paints a picture so subtle and compact that only the specialist in Victorian history can fully appreciate the value of his vivid narrative. The allusive nature of the Portrait recently sent a few dozen scholars scurrying under the guidance of Kitson Clark, to hunt down and verify its numerous references and quotations. Their exhaustive efforts have unearthed a few minor blemishes, but these fail to detract from the book's overall brilliance. Thought the Portrait is esteemed by scholars, few have noted how much the book is a reflection of its time and of the abiding cultural concerns of Young's intellectual life. In print continuously since its first appearance in 1936, this study of the Victorian era from 1837-1901 is regarded as the greatest history of that time ever written. G. M Young's remarkable survey has outstanding clarity, delicious wit, and penetrating scholarship. "An immortal classic, the greatest long essay ever written."--Simon Schama. "A magnificent piece."--Punch. "Every page is delightful reading."--Guardian. "[A] breathtaking range of scholarship, richness and aptness of language, and acid sharpness of wit."--Country Life.

Kidnapped At Birth? (Marvin Redpost 1, paper)

Louis Sachar

This First Stepping Stone book (see preceding review) heralds the series debut of nine-year-old Marvin Redpost. He is convinced he is Prince Robert, the King of Shampoon's long-lost son currently being sought in a much-publicized campaign. First, Marvin is the only person in his family with red hair and blue eyes. Next, Marvin's teacher says that because he is left-handed he must have royal blood. And finally, Marvin does not remind his grandmother of anyone else in the family. All of this assures Marvin that he must have been kidnapped at birth and accidentally given to Mr. and Mrs. Redpost. Though the story line is frivolous, lively dialogue and Marvin's endless imagination command steady attention. Characterization, however scanty, is at least true to life, and the unresolved ending leaves readers something to think about. The rigid black-and-white illustrations, on the other hand, add little. Ages 6-9. <br />Copyright 1992 Reed Business Information, Inc.

From the way Mrs. North was acting, he thought it must be somebody weird. “Who is it?” asked Warren. “Is it somebody I’ve heard of?” asked Nick. “Oh, I hope so, Nick,” said Mrs. North.

Peer-to-Peer : Harnessing the Power of Disruptive Technologies

Andy Oram

<i>Peer-to-Peer</i> is a book about an emerging idea. That idea is that the traditional model of participating in the Internet, in which a small computer operated by an everyday user (a "client") asks for and receives information from a big computer administered by a corporation or other large entity (a "server"), is beginning to give some ground to a new (new to the fringes of the Internet, anyway) model called peer-to-peer networking. In peer-to-peer networking, all participants in a network are approximately equal. Furthermore, the participants are usually ordinary computers run by everyday people. The ICQ chat service and the Napster music-sharing community are examples of what this book is about.
