He began writing &#34;This Week in Texas History&#34; in 1983 for small-town and suburban newspapers across Texas. --This text refers to the <a href='/dp/1467118230/ref=dp_bookdescription?_encoding=UTF8&amp;n=283155'>Paperback</a> edition.

The Innocent Man C H A P T E R 1 The rolling hills of southeastOklahoma stretch fromNorman across toArkansas and show little evidence of the vast deposits of crude oil that were once beneath them. Some old rigs dot the countryside; the active ones churn on, pumping out a few gallons with each slow turn and prompting a passerby to ask if the effort is really worth it. Many have simply given up, and sit motionless amid the fields as corroding reminders of the glory days of gushers and wildcatters and instant fortunes. Generated by ABC Amber LIT Converter, http://www.processtext.com/abclit.html There are rigs scattered through the farmland aroundAda , an old oil town of sixteen thousand with a college and a county courthouse. The rigs are idle, though—the oil is gone. Money is now made inAda by the hour in factories and feed mills and on pecan farms. DowntownAda is a busy place.

Carnivores of Light and Darkness (Journeys of the Catechist) (Vol 1)

Alan Dean Foster

A shipwreck victim's dying words become an inescapable duty for Etjole Ehomba, a herdsman known for his sense of honorAand for his unquenchable curiosity. Armed only with his spear, his star-metal sword, and an unshakable belief that every question has an answer, Ehomba embarks on a journey into unknown lands to rescue a captured princess from an enemy he has never met. Foster's (The Spoils of War, LJ 4/15/93) latest fantasy series combines the flexibility of a picaresque adventure with the simplicity of a folktale as his Gulliveresque hero survives encounters with talking serpents, walking trees, sentient storms, and a host of other wondrous creatures. This promising series opener by a veteran of both sf and fantasy belongs in most libraries.<br />Copyright 1998 Reed Business Information, Inc.

Sapphires Are an Earl's Best Friend (Jewels of the Ton)

Shana Galen

It is the perfect assignment for Lily Dawson, the Countess of Charm. All Lily has to do is use her allure to seduce the Duke of Ravenscroft and find proof that he is the traitor trying to discover the identities of secret agents. Lily has captured the Dukes interest, and her plan is working like a charm until the dukes son, Andrew Booth-Payne, Earl of Darlington, inserts himself back into Lilys life. While Lily might be one Londons most celebrated courtesans, Andrew cant believe Lily would even think about becoming romantically involved with his father. Even as Andrew does his best to derail any developing romance between Lily and the duke, he finds himself falling under her seductive spell. Galen (True Spies, 2013) wraps up her Jewels of the Ton trilogy with a fast-paced, sexy tale that is custom-made for readers who like their historical Regencies souped-up with plenty of espionage-flavored intrigue and dramatic adventure. --John Charles

The earl was dabbing a bit of jade-colored oil on his wrist. “Put that down!” Grabbing up a rag, Ciara rushed to his side. “It will burn right through your flesh.” She set to wiping off every trace of green. His touch was surprisingly gentle as he closed his hand around her wrist. “I haven’t finished,” she murmured, hoping he didn’t hear the odd little catch in her voice. “Neither have I.” Ciara had every intention of pushing him away but some strange alchemy kept her frozen in place. He kissed her lightly, the brush of his lips feathering across her cheek. Suddenly she was no longer cold, but hot all over. Somewhere in her core a flame licked up. Her flesh began to burn as his palms slid up her arms. No. No. No. This could not be happening. Dazed, she opened her mouth to protest, only to find it captured in a far more intimate embrace. His tongue traced over her lips, and his teeth nipped her flesh. Then he was inside her, tasting of salt, of smoke, and some e

Fire's Goal: Poems from the Hindu Year

Laurie Patton

The first half of this book of devotional poetry is structured around festivals of the Hindu year, including Divali, Krsna Jayanti, the Night of Siva and Ganesha Chaturthi. Through the poems, Patton, a professor of Indian religions at Emory University, seeks to evoke the experience of a devotee. "Each [poem] attempts to portray a moment in the mind of such a person as he or she performs rituals of devotion," says Patton. The book's second half takes up the idea of gods crossing over to earth in particular holy places; some of these poems are in both English and Sanskrit. A brief appendix offers descriptions of each holiday and notes on some mythic symbols. <br />Copyright 2003 Reed Business Information, Inc.

LOVING THE HAWKE A Victorian Romance LANA WILLIAMS After five seasons as a wallflower, Lettie Fairchild is resigned to spinsterhood. Mostly. Determined to claim more meaning for her life than seeing her younger sisters married, she seeks a purpose. She finds what she’s looking for when she happens upon a book describing seven curses that plague London. Nathaniel Hawke is attempting to adjust to civilian life after retiring from the military, but his injured leg and memories of his time in the service prevent an easy transition. On his long walks during London’s darkest hours, Nathaniel is appalled by what he sees taking place on the dirty streets and alleyways. He is determined to take action. Coming upon a proper, if rebellious, lady in the desolate area both intrigues and frustrates him.

Green-Eyed Ghost (An Avon Camelot Book)

Lynn Blankman

Grade 4-6?A fluffy but briskly told tale of sibling rivalry. The bane of 12-year-old Charlotte's existence is her younger sister Jenny, whose musical talent makes Charlotte feel jealous, inadequate, and left out. The older girl's longing to have a special quality of her own is fulfilled when she encounters a ghost while visiting her grandmother. The ghost, Rose, pulls Charlotte back in time to when Gran was young. There she becomes caught up in the mystery of who Rose is and why she wants her help. She discovers that Rose was Gran's older sister, who had never been mentioned because she died tragically. Charlotte can't stop Rose's death, but she does prevent Gran from dying, and ultimately realizes how much her own sister means to her. This predictable book is slightly better than others of its ilk because of the judicious use of creative plot developments. The characters are the stereotypes one expects to find in such formulaic fiction, but the story is involving and the balance of predictability and invention will satisfy. Unfortunately, the cover is bland and stiffly rendered. Still, if you're looking to pad your paperback collection or need sibling-oriented fiction, this is a decent choice.?July Siebecker, Hubbard Memorial Library, MA<br />Copyright 1998 Reed Business Information, Inc.

Bending Toward Justice: A Love Story

Susan Gage

Susan Gage is a published poet and a lifelong writer who has raised children and cats, and at one time was able to keep a garden alive. She has an extensive background in non-profit and law firm management and due to a full and varied life, she has also earned her keep by picking pears, currying horses, performing Shakespeare, waiting tables, singing in the Fantasticks, sorting mail, and feeding gourmet meals to groups of trekkers across the High Sierra. She was born and raised in Southern California, though she has also lived in the wilds of Brooklyn, in rural Vermont, and in the exquisite beauty of the San Francisco Bay area. Though she now makes her home with her husband in the peace of the Pacific Northwest, they may just as easily be found wandering through London, Paris, Cinque Terre, Venice, Rome, or cruising down the Rhine and planning trips to parts unknown. Bending Toward Justice is Susan's debut novel -- but there are lots of people talking in her head -- so there are certain to be more.

Scarpetta's Winter Table

Patricia Cornwell

Not intended for serious cooks, but ideal for fastidious fans of Ms. Cornwell, <i>Scarpetta's Winter Table</i> is perfect for the thrillerphile who has everything. This offbeat, 81-page novella takes you behind the scenes to Dr. Kay Scarpetta's kitchen, where you'll learn how to make her "Bad Mood Pasta Primavera," "Holiday Pizza," and "Childhood Key Lime Pie"--just to name a few. Along for the culinary festivities are the doctor's trusty cohorts, Pete Marino, captain of the Richmond police department, and Scarpetta's niece, Lucy. Both add their favorite concoctions, such as Marino's "Cause-of-Death Eggnog" and Lucy's "Friendly Grill." Those who have read Cornwell's <a href="/exec/obidos/ASIN/0399143947/${0}"><i>Point of Origin</i></a> will find a double delight in <i>Winter Table</i>, as it's amply stuffed with references from the bestselling thriller. However, recipe readers be warned: there are no measurements, exact lists of ingredients, or detailed cooking instructions. It reads like a short story, with vague descriptions of what each dish contains--the intent being that each person will make a slightly different version. This may be frustrating for a by-the-book cook, but flexible, freestyle chefs may find it's just what the doctor ordered.

The Complete Mowgli of the Jungle Book Stories (Dover Children's Classics)

Rudyard Kipling

K-Gr 5Children may be familiar with the story of Mowgli, who was raised by wolves and lives in the jungle, from either the classic or more recent films. This audio version, narrated by Peter Jeffrey, brings the three original tales to life. Narration is limited in inflection, and animal sounds, sound effects, and music are absent, but Jeffrey does a solid job engaging and holding listeners' attention. Younger children may need shorter listening sessions and facilitated discussion to enjoy the adventures of Mowgli, Baloo, Bagheera, and antagonist Shere Khan. VERDICT This would be a fine addition to any children's audio collection.Rebecca Flannery, Memorial Elementary School, East Hampton, CT --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

The Present Parent Handbook: 26 Simple Tools to Discover that This Moment, This Action, This Thought , This Feeling is Exactly Why I'm Here

Timothy Dukes

"For many adults eager to develop effective parenting tools, The Present Parent Handbook, by Dr. Timothy Dukes offers a solution readily available and easily implemented. He reminds us that all we must do is be present and willing to feel, whatever arises, whenever it arises. And, if we fail to do so today, we can start fresh tomorrow. Presence aligns the parent with the child's world, and in so doing, creates a third thing: an awakened, evolving relational identity." <b>-</b><i><b>DR.

Horse Tracks: Poems

Henry Real Bird

The inner heart commotion of Henry Real Bird is poised in a physical and metaphysical terrain marked by the history, culture, language and identity of his Apsaalooke nation. At the same time, no one else contemplates broncs, Chinook winds, the Wolf Teeth Mountains and forgotten creek beds in the way that Real Bird does his is a careful, astute eye that reminds us again and again of our own interrelation, of our responsibility to all beings, all places that make up our world and beyond. --M. L. Smoker, author of Another Attempt At Rescue<br /><br />Henry Real Bird s poems are of the moment and thus timeless. We look to Henry for a check of the pulse of things coded in words that work to decipher what he often calls feelings. But are they more like soundings of the heart and of the earth? And then again are they poems, songs, or prayers? All I know is I m glad they are preserved. --Hal Cannon, Founding Director, Western Folklife Center

Florida: A Pictorial Souvenir

Carol Highsmith

Florida, the Sunshine State, is the fourth largest state?in population?in the Union. It is the nearest thing to paradise that can be found on the mainland, with its year-round warm weather, resorts, tropical enclaves, pristine beaches, and manicured golf courses. But Florida is more than America's playgrounds of fun and theme parks. It is the shooting star of the sunbelt whose population and economy has boomed in the last several decades. It is a place of surprising diversity and variety, from the Southern charm of Tallahassee, the state capital, which bills itself as "Florida with a Southern Accent," to the Hispanic flavor of Miami, which calls itself the "Capital of Latin America," to the posh "Gold Coast" of Palm Beach County, the former playground of the Rockefellers and Astors.<br>Florida is a state that has something for everyone. If you have a literary bent you can go to Key West and drink at Sloppy Joe's bar, Ernest Hemingway's favorite hangout. Nature lovers can revel in the unique wonder of the Everglades, the slow-moving, fifty-mile-wide "River of Grass." Devotees of architecture can gaze in awe at the homes and hotels of Miami Beach, which has the largest concentration of Art Deco buildings in the world. And children of all ages from all over the world converge on Orlando, the home of Universal Studios Florida and Walt Disney World.<br>In <i>Florida: A Pictorial Souvenir</i>, photographer Carol M. Highsmith and writer Ted Landphair guide the reader on a wonderful excursion through the state's foremost locales and attractions. This book is a superb souvenir for anyone who has ever visited this great state or wishes to enjoy its Edenic scenic vistas.

Jeremiah stood watching the hot orange streaks across the sky, followed by a pale mauve haze, but his mind was a thousand miles away. He was a tall man with broad shoulders and a straight back, strong arms and a warm smile. At forty-three years of age, there was more salt than pepper in his hair, yet his hands still had the same strength they had had when he worked in the mines as a young man, and when he bought his first mine in the Napa Valley in 1860. He had staked the claim himself and was die first to find quicksilver in the Napa Valley. He had been seventeen years old, barely more than a boy, but for years he had thought of nothing except mining, just as his father had done before him. His father had come from the East in 1850, and for him, the promise of gold in the West had been ful

When we searched for a suitable introduction to be used for new engineers, I discovered that much of the equipment is described in standards, equipment manuals and project documentation. But little material was found to quickly give the reader an overview of the entire upstream area, while still preserving enough detail to let the engineer get an appreciation of the main characteristics and design issues. This book is by no means a comprehensive description on the detailed design of any part of this process, and many details have been omitted in the interest of overview. I have in

Her new book, _Island Life Sentence_ , __ is a fictional account of an American Midwestern woman who feels like an alien in the “one human family” of Key West. Carrie Jo’s first book, _Motherhood is NOT for Babies_ , received rave reviews, and works wonderfully as an alternate form of contraception. Her blog _Florida Keys Crime Report_ tells of all the goings-on in the Keys, where bank robbers get away on bicycles, and perps caught with an undersized, pinched, out-of-season lobster get more jail time than drug runners.

The Complete And Totally True Book Of Urban Legends

Ann Fiery

As it happens, that little dog that got nuked in the microwave was named Vince. That's one of the priceless details Ann Fiery has added to breathe new life into 25 old stories in <i>The Completely and Totally True Book of Urban Legends</i>. The tanning-booth disaster becomes a tragedy of suburban banality, the hydrogen beer fiasco levels a city, and subtle anti-American sentiments find expression in a simple toothbrush. Fiery's prose is sharp and engaging, her characterization lively, and her pacing brilliant. Artist Mark Ulriksen captures the essence of each tale with a creepy (if often quite funny) painting that leers from a facing page. The retelling of these legends in short-short story form forces the reader to think about how they hold our interest, why we love to hear and spread them, and why so many are about dogs. <i>--Rob Lightner</i>

The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society

Mary Ann Shaffer

I cant remember the last time I discovered a novel as smart and delightful as this one, a world so vivid that I kept forgetting this was a work of fiction populated with characters so utterly wonderful that I kept forgetting they werent my actual friends and neighbors. Treat yourself to this book pleaseI cant recommend it highly enough.<b>Elizabeth Gilbert, author of<i>Eat, Pray, Love</i><br /></b><br />Traditional without seeming stale, and romantic without being naive . . . Its tempting to throw around terms like gem when reading a book like this. But<i>Guernsey</i>is not precious. . . . This is a book for firesides or long train rides. Its as charming and timeless as the novels for which its characters profess their love.<i><b><i>San Francisco Chronicle Book Review</i></b></i><br /><br />[The] characters step from the past radiant with eccentricity and kindly humour. [The] writing, with its delicately offbeat, self-deprecating stylishness, is exquisitely turned.<i><b><i>The Guardian</i></b></i><b>(U.K.)</b><br /><br />Ive never wanted to join a club so desperately as I did while reading <i>Guernsey</i>. . . . [The novel] is a labor of love and it shows on almost every page.<b><i>The Christian Science Monitor</i></b><br /><br />I could not put the book down. I have recommended it to all my friends.<b></b><i><b>Newsday</b></i><br /><br />A jewel . . . Poignant and keenly observed, <i>Guernsey</i> is a small masterpiece about love, war, and the immeasurable sustenance to be found in good books and good friends.<b><i>People</i></b><i><br /><br /></i>A book-lover's delight, an implicit and sometimes explicit paean to all things literary.<b><i>Chicago Sun-Times</i></b><br /><b><br /></b>A sparkling epistolary novel radiating wit, lightly worn erudition and written with great assurance and aplomb.<b><b><i><i>The Sunday Times</i></i>(London)</b><br /><br /></b>Cooked perfectly point: subtle and elegant in flavour, yet emotionally satisfying to the finish.<b><b><i>The Times</i>(London)</b><br /><br /></b>A sweet, sentimental paean to books and those who love them. . . . It affirms the power of books to nourish people enduring hard times.<b><i>TheWashington Post Book World</i></b><br /><br />[A] marvelous debut . . . This is a warm, funny, tender, and thoroughly entertaining celebration of the power of the written word.<b></b><i><b>Library Journal</b><br /></i><br />A poignant, funny novel that celebrates the resilience of the human spirit. . . . A treat.<b><i>TheBoston Globe</i></b><i><br /></i><br />A sure winner.<b><i>Kirkus Reviews</i></b><i><br /><br /></i>Delightful . . . One of those joyful books that celebrates how reading brings people together.<b><i>New Orleans Times-Picayune<br /><br /></i></b>Mary Ann Shaffer and Annie Barrows have written a wondrous, delightful, poignant bookpart Jane Austen, part history lesson.

No Copycats Allowed! (Hyperion Chapters)

Bonnie Graves

Grade 1-3AGabrielle is new to Room 6 and in an effort to make friends, she decides she will change to be more like her peers. Her father counsels her to be herself, but her older brother advises her, "Be like everybody else...or you won't make friends." At school, she practices variant spellings of her name (Gabby, Gabbie, and Gabi) based on her classmates' names, copies a hairstyle from one girl, and switches her interests to match theirs. All of this backfires, however; dubbed "Copycat," she runs away from school in humiliation. However, a sensitive teacher and her father convince her to return to her class and be herself, complete with her long name. Concisely told, the story's theme doesn't outweigh its characters. The nine brief chapters are just the right length to entice beginning readers. Black-and-white cartoon drawings appear throughout. Pair this with David Shannon's A Bad Case of Stripes (Scholastic, 1998) for a picture-book treatment of the same theme.ASusan Hepler, Burgundy Farm Country Day School, Alexandria, VA<br />Copyright 1998 Reed Business Information, Inc.

OH! And if you need names for a new furry family member, there are some definite winners here! literaryquicksand.com<br /><br />Some of these stories are heartbreaking.

## While she cleaned the tunic, Alex scooped up some water, washing off his skin. Rivulets of water spilled over his hard muscles, and Laren found herself staring at her husband. He stretched and shivered from the freezing water. Her eyes followed the water that pooled over his skin, trailing downward. He saw her staring, and met her with his own frank gaze. Dark eyes moved down her face, past her breasts, to her hips. Unable to help herself, she reached out and touched his cool skin, wiping away a droplet of water with her fingertips. Alex didn’t move, but he caught her wrist and held it to his skin. “After the girls are asleep, meet me here again tonight.” He pressed her fingers over his ribs, guiding her hand around his waist. Though his skin was icy cold from the water, she leaned in to warm him. His hand cupped her face. Though he hadn’t done anything at all, Laren’s breath was shaky, her body seeking his nearness.

Antenna Zoning : For the Radio Amateur

Fred Hopengarten

We are pleased to offer this new book, written by Fred Hopengarten, K1VR, a prominent attorney in the communications-law field (and a noteworthy contest operator as well). In the last five years a huge body of regulations in the form of ordinances and bylaws has sprung up in towns and cities across the country, mainly in reaction to the increasing number of cellular telephone towers being erected. Hams have sometimes been caught inadvertently in the resulting crazy quilt of regulations. <P>Fred has written this book to help the ham navigate the thicket of ordinances and bylaws, with the goal of obtaining a building permit for an antenna system. After all -- no antenna, no ham radio! <P>In his many years of practice as a communications-law attorney, Fred has seen the full gamut of emotional issues that can arise at public hearings. He goes through them in exhaustive but delightful detail, and explains the best approach to each issue. <P>Freds lively, conversational tone minimizes the numbing "legalese" often used by lawyers. Numerous sample letters in Microsoft Word format are on the CD-ROM that accompanies the book. The ham (or his/her lawyer) can customize these letters to suit the circumstances peculiar to each case. The CD ROM also has a wealth of precedent setting legal cases and other reference materials, in Adobe Reader PDF format. <P>Any ham seeking a building permit for an antenna structure will be well served by this book. It is especially useful to help bring your local attorney up to speed on relevant communications issues and case law. Training your attorney in this way can save many hours and many dollars.

Alpha God: The Psychology of Religious Violence and Oppression

Hector A. Garcia

"Hector A. Garcia has written a brilliant, courageous, and vitally important book about the widespread belief in a single, all-powerful god. Specifically, he has traced that belief to--brace yourselves--our primate origins. Given the fact that religious differences underlie almost all of the world's bloody conflicts, this might be one of the most important topics anyone could tackle. Garcia's research is impeccable, his thesis is staggeringly original, and he writes with breathtaking clarity and insight. It's been a long time since a book has stunned me like this one has."<br /><br />SEBASTIAN JUNGER, author of the bestselling books <i>War </i>and <i>The Perfect Storm</i><br /><br /><i>Alpha God</i> is ambitious, provocative, and eminently engaging. Garcia proposes a novel Darwinian hypothesis on a topicreligious violencethat is central to our times. While the details will be disturbing to many, religious violence is an area of inquiry that cannot be ignored, and Garcia offers an abundance of intriguing ideas that will keep researchers busy for years to come.<br /><br /> RICHARD SOSIS, James Barnett Professor of Humanistic Anthropology, University of Connecticut; cofounder and coeditor of <i>Religion, Brain &amp; Behavior</i><br /><i></i><br />"Original, bold, and beautifully written, <i>Alpha God</i> offers a groundbreaking and eye-opening evolutionary analysis of human religion, explaining not only why religion exists but also why it is the way it is. Armed with broad knowledge of the history, principles, and scriptures of human religions and a deep understanding of evolutionary psychology and nonhuman primate behavior, Hector A. Garcia convincingly argues that religion is built onand takes advantage ofhuman (and especially mens) evolved psychology, particularly our obsession with dominance/submission and sex.<br /><br /><i></i>DARIO MAESTRIPIERI<i>,</i>author of<i>Macachiavellian Intelligence</i>and<i>Games Primates Play</i><br /><br />I can already hear the true believers and religious apologists snorting that God is more subtle than the dominant alpha male portrayed by Hector A. Garcia, just as we can anticipate the claim that humanitys sense of God comes not from evolution but from, well, God himself! (Note, by the way, the implication that God is not only male but also a personalized actor.) But the overwhelming majority of believers do in fact personalize God as a dominant alpha male, and, moreover, as this book demonstrates so effectively, our species is predisposed by its evolutionary history to do just this. My guess is that there is morethat is, more biologybehind religious belief than merely the allure of an alpha God, but nonetheless <i>Alpha God </i>goes a long way toward explaining our peculiar vulnerability to such illusions. Its a superb overview of a compelling hypothesis for the evolution of religion.<br /><br /><i> </i>DAVID P. BARASH, professor of psychology, University of Washington; author of <i>Buddhist Biology: Ancient Eastern Wisdom Meets Modern Western Science</i>

Hall Gardner

A sweeping and comprehensive indictment of the dangers posed by Donald Trumps version of American nationalism. A must-read for foreign policy realists.<br /><br /> Nicolai N. Petro, Silvia-Chandley Professor of Peace Studies, University of Rhode Island<br /><br /><br />In this extremely timelyreflection, Hall Gardner looks at how Trumps policies and behavior are changing the America that the world was accustomed to seeing and had accepted as a leader. This book proves that the country is far from being an assured success. And, after reading <i>World War Trump</i>, nobody can say that we have not been warned about a very insecure future.<br /><br /> Roberto Savio, founder, Inter Press Service, and international analyst and director for external relations, European Center for Peace and Development<br /><br /><br />An incisive commentary on the vicissitudes of Americas newly invigorated nationalism, which has a direct bearing on the current strategic environment.

(ret.), former chief military intelligence advisor, Cabinet Secretariat of India, and Advisory Board representative, UNESCO (IHP)<br /><br /><br />Gardner foretells a possible new version of a Cold War between Russia and the West if the necessary preventive measures are not soon takenlessons learned from both the previous Cold War and Mikhail Gorbachevs bold initiatives.

The Catalog of Lost Books

Tad Tuleja

Parodying obtuse academic synopses of great books, Tuleja ( The Cat's Pajamas ), gets off to an amusing start with a commentary on "The Altamira Spiral," identified as "an arrangement of polished, inscribed stones" from a cave in northern Spain. But he has difficulty sustaining that joke past a few paragraphs, let alone generating enough laughs to warrant a book. In seeking to poke fun at dull, pedantic writing, more often than not he is dull and pedantic himself. The idea of Marilyn Monroe analyzing Claude Levi-Strauss has potential, but the annotation bogs down with lines like "Her theme is that 'signifying' art always 'bodies forth the contradictions of its social matrix,' attempting through 'rigid iconic artifice' to 'expiate the demons of its own necessary irresolution.' " Other entries are sophomoric: "This ingenious book of ancient divination explains the ritualistic cutting and analysis of nail clippings." There are some moments of inspired madness, as in an essay on "the world's only major writer whose works are known only from a concordance." But on the whole, the reader would be better off if Tuleja's "lost books" had stayed lost. <br />Copyright 1989 Reed Business Information, Inc.

Chick Flicks: A Movie Lover's Guide to the Movies Women Love

Jami Bernard

When film critic Jami Bernard thinks about the kinds of movies that appeal to women, she doesn't always follow the common route. Sure, such classic weepies as <i>Now, Voyager</i>, <i>Brief Encounter</i>, and <i>Waterloo Bridge</i> are included in this guide, as are more modern chick flicks like <i>Working Girl</i>, <i>Sense and Sensibility</i>, and <i>The American President</i>. But Bernard also believes that female audiences have a wilder side that the cinema can unleash. Her defenses of <i>The Hunger</i>, <i>True Lies</i>, and <i>9 1/2 Weeks</i> as "chick flicks" are intriguing, particularly since these movies were designed to entrance aggressively misogynist men. Bernard covers 75 films in detail, categorizing them under headings like "impossible love," "hunks," "emotional rescue," "catfights," "funny girls," and, of course, "female bonding." <i>--Raphael Shargel</i>

XML, HTML, XHTML Magic

Molly E. Holzschlag

<i>XML, HTML, XHTML Magic</i> is a set of short projects that demonstrate Web authoring techniques. Aimed at Web professionals, it is nicely laid out with an unusually wide page size, making it easier to display code samples and screen illustrations alongside the text. Although its stated aim is to assist migration from plain HTML to more up-to-date standards like XML and XHTML, the book is too short and technically lightweight to achieve it. In particular, the appearance of XML in the title is misleading, since it is hardly covered at all. What it does provide are some valuable examples, particularly when it comes to CSS (cascading style sheets), which are used extensively throughout.

The Tale I Told Sasha

Nancy Willard

Kindergarten-Grade 3This picture book is a paean to a childs imagination. A young girl follows her mothers gift of a yellow ball through the face of a mantel clock into a world where winged travelers must walk./All those with wheels get to ride. Logic and sequence are forgotten in this lyrical journey where a door opens softly as an egg to reveal a farmer planting the yellow ball for a harvest of golden things. Lost objects are founda dropped needle and a card, pennies and puzzle pieces, and the stars and sheep/my mother counts to fall asleep. Finally, a steamship sails into view on a painted sea, manned by the farmer, now the King of Keys, who tosses the yellow ball back into the reality of the childs home. The books title suggests its origin as a piece written by Willard for her daughter, and the lyrical, cadenced sound of her poetry may bring pleasure. However, the fantasy moves through a series of images like a stream of consciousness without meaning or logic. Christianas dreamy, full-page watercolor illustrations reflect the kaleidoscopic images of the poem and appeal to the eye, but the book will be difficult for most readers.Shirley Wilton, Ocean County College, Toms River, NJ <BR>Copyright 1999 Reed Business Information, Inc.

 Adventures of an English debutante The perfect diplomat’s daughter, Mary Manning spent her young life following her father around the world, behaving in the most agreeable way. So stealing a kiss from military hero Sebastian Barrett was most out of character, and a mistake she’ll never make again! A mission to Brazil seems the perfect way to escape his tempting emerald eyes. But when he, too, arrives upon the sultry sands of Rio, Mary realizes there’s no running from the perfectly wicked way Sebastian makes her feel... “Miss Manning, have you met the great hero of the day?” Lady Alnworth said. He turned to smile at Mary, and it took all her long years of careful diplomatic training to keep her own polite smile in place. A chivalric knight of old, only in a red coat instead of gleaming armor. On him, that uniform seemed...different. Exotic. Alluring. “How do you do, Miss Manning,” he said, bowing over her hand.

The Solitary Twist: A Nell Fury Mystery

Elizabeth Pincus

Readers of Pincus's ( The Two-Bit Tango ) second book could use a score card to keep track of all the characters, but despite the maze of friends and foes lesbian PI Nell Fury does a competent job of solving a complex mystery. Flying home to San Francisco, Nell meets lesbian Christa Lovett, who hires Nell to check the background on Philip Gold, fiance of Christa's ex-lover, Ellen Norway. Christa thinks Philip is after Ellen's money. Within a day, Philip, an arts commissioner, is accused of mismanaging funds, and Ellen is kidnapped. Christa, who is suspiciously shy of the police, asks Nell to find Ellen; consequently, Nell trails Philip to a questionable construction-site meeting; hours later he is killed. Nell is making headway on the case when Christa pays up, terminates the job and vanishes. Chasing down clues and pouncing on coincidences, Nell weaves together surprising events from past and present. While sleuthing, she is fairly good company--much better than she is when, boring as many a suburban mother, she dotes on Pinky, her poetry-writing, Day-Glo-haired daughter. <br />Copyright 1993 Reed Business Information, Inc.

The indignity of it all! To be stripped of his most treasured possession by a dastardly brigand just out of swaddling clothes. Why, the kid couldn’t be more than fifteen! “Please, Adam.” Teresa gripped her husband’s arm in persuasion. “Give him the watch.

The Demon's Retribution (Shadow Quest Book 3): Paranormal Romance

Kiersten Fay

<b>Romantic and unique, The Demon's Retribution was a captivating read that I had a hard time putting down.</b> Kyra is my favorite type of heroine; she's strong, smart, kind, and also pretty badass. Cale was...well he was just downright hot. He was confident, sexy, charming, protective, and a bit arrogant- but in a good way. I was rooting for him to let go of the past so he could be happy with Kyra. <i><br />--Gravetells reviews </i><br /><br /><b>A solid sci-fi series with the added bonus of these engaging fantasy-type love stories that slide seamlessly into the parameters of the genre.</b> The Demon's Retribution brings with it the epic feeling that a proper sci-fi series should contain, along with all the bells and whistles: a hostile alien war, great space fights, vivid world description, culture development, and a moral lesson done subtly well. Cale and Kyra are strong characters whose story is both tragic and wonderful." <br /><i>--The Cato Chronicle </i><br /><br /><b>Ms. Fay gives us a powerful story of a lost sister, ruler, lover and friend.</b> This is a battle for love, family, home and yes retribution. This was an incredibly powerful story and Ms. Fay has done the trilogy format well. <br /><i>-- Bodice Rippers </i><br /><br />I was absolutely lost in the love story of Cale and Kyra.

In this illustrated version of Paul's original Christmas song, one family's annually increasing holiday lawn decorations lead to a neighborhood competition that results in a light show so full of light-up Marys, giant menorahs, and massive inflatable snowmen that it can be seen from space and eventually triggers a worldwide power outage. In the darkness, the community realizes that the most beautiful light show is the one playing out in the stars above their heads. A download of the song is included with this title and is an important addition. Without Paul's folksy musical accompaniment, some of the lyrics' rhymes feel forced and inconsistent, but the detailed, digital illustrations of glowing electric lights and lawn tchotchkes pop off the page, and the message of remembering what's important about the season is presented without falling into sentimentality. VERDICT New and old fans alike will pore over this one.Brooke Sheets, Los Angeles Public Library

Principles of Distributed Database Systems (2nd Edition)

M. Tamer Ozsu

PREFACE TO THE SECOND EDITION Many things have changed since the publication of the first edition of this book in 1991. At the time, we reported projections that, by 1998, centralized database managers (DBMSs) would be an \antique curiosity" and most organizations would move towards distributed database managers. Distribution was slowly starting and "client/server" had just started to enter our daily jargon. These systems were generally multiple client/single server systems in which the distribution was mostly in terms of functionality, not data. If multiple servers were used, clients were responsible for managing the connections to these servers. Thus, transparency of access was not widely supported, and each client had to "know" the location of the required data. The distribution of data among multiple servers was very primitive; systems did not support fragmentation or replication of data. Systems of the time were \homogeneous" in that each system could manage only data that were stored in its own database, with no linkage to other repositories. Things have changed dramatically since then. Many vendors are much closer to achieving true distribution in their development cycle. Client/server systems remain the preferred solution in many cases, but they are much more sophisticated. For example, today's client/server systems provide signicant transparency in accessing data from multiple servers, support distributed transactions to facilitate transparency, and execute queries over (horizontally) fragmented data. Further, new systems implement both synchronous and asynchronous replication protocols, and many vendors have introduced gateways to access other databases. In addition, significant achievements have taken place in the development and deployment of parallel database servers. Object database managers have entered the marketplace and have found a niche market in some classes of applications which are inherently distributed. In parallel with these developments in the database system front, there have been phenomenal changes in the computer networking infrastructure that supports these systems. The relatively slow (10Mbit/sec) Ethernet has been replaced as the de facto local area network standard by much faster networks (FDDI or switched Ethernet) operating at around 100Mbit/sec, and broadband networks (particularly the ATM technology) have been deployed for both local area and wide area networking. These networks, coupled with very low overhead networking protocols, such as SCI, reduce the differences between local area and wide area networks (other than latency considerations) and potentially eliminate the network as the major performance bottleneck. This, in turn, requires us to review our system development assumptions and performance tuning criteria. Use of the Internet which is basically a heterogeneous network with links of varying capacities and capabilities has exploded. There is clearly a technology push/application pull in effect with respect to distributed DBMS development: new applications are requiring changes in DBMS capabilities, and new technological developments are making these changes possible. With these developments, it was time to prepare a revised second edition of the book. In the process, we have retained the fundamental characteristics and key features of the book as outlined in the Preface to the first edition. However, the material has been heavily edited. Every chapter has been revised some in fundamental ways, others more superficially. The major changes are the following: 1. The query processing/optimization chapters (Chapters 7{9) have been revised to focus on the techniques employed in commercial systems. New algorithms, such as randomized search strategies, are now included. 2. The transaction management chapters (Chapters 10{12) now include material on advanced transaction models and work flows. 3. Chapter 13, which focused on the relationship of distributed DBMSs and distributed operating systems, has been dropped and some of the material is incorporated into the relevant chapters. 4. The first edition contained a chapter (Chapter 15) which discussed current issues at the time parallel DBMSs, distributed knowledge-base systems (mainly deductive DBMSs), and distributed object DBMSs. In the intervening years, two of these topics have matured and become major forces in their own rights, while the third (deductive databases) has not achieved the same prominence. In this edition, we devote full chapters to parallel DBMSs (Chapter 13) and distributed object DBMSs (Chapter 14), and have dropped deductive DBMSs. 5. Following the same approach, we introduce a new chapter devoted to current issues (Chapter 16). This chapter now includes sections on data warehousing (from a distributed data management perspective), World Wide Web and databases, push-based technologies, and mobile DBMSs. 6. The chapter on multidatabase systems (Chapter 15 in the current edition) has been revised to include a discussion of general interoperability issues and distributed object platforms such as OMA/CORBA and DCOM/OLE. We are quite satisfied with the result, which represents a compromise between our desire to address new and emerging issues, and maintain the main characteristic of the book in addressing the principles of distributed data management. Certain chapters, in particular Chapters 15 and 16, require further depth, but those will be topics of future editions. The guide to reading the book, introduced in the Preface to the first edition, is still valid in general terms. However, we now discuss, in Chapter 3, the relationship between distributed DBMSs and the new networking technologies. Thus, this chapter no longer serves simply as background and should be read (at least the relevant sections) following Chapter 1. We have set up a Web site to communicate with our readers. The site is at cs.ualberta.ca/~database/distdb.html. This site contains presentation slides that accompany the book as well as other information regarding the book's use as a textbook. Many colleagues have helped with the revisions. Maggie Dunham and Nandid Soparkar provided detailed and early comments on the overall structure and content of the book. Maggie also provided input for the mobile database management section (Section 16.4). Ioannis Nikolaidis helped immensely with the revisions to Chapter 3he made us rewrite that chapter three times. Jari Veijaleinen provided many exercises which have been incorporated into this edition. Esther Pacitti provided input for replication protocols. Peter Trianta_llou provided material on this topic as well. Alexander Thomasian's input for performance evaluation work was invaluable, as was Elliot Moss's critical review of the nested transaction discussion in the transaction processing chapters. Mukesh Singhal advised us of the new advances in distributed deadlock management. Luc Bouganim contributed significantly to Chapter 13 on parallel DBMSs. Ken Barker and Kamalakar Karlapalem provided the material that formed the basis of distributed object database design in Chapter 14. Kaladhar Voruganti wrote the first draft of the architectural and system issues sections of Chapter 14. Randal Peters read Chapter 14 and forced us to revise many parts of it. The distributed garbage collection section of that chapter is based on a draft provided by Laurent Amsaleg and Michael Franklin. Amit Sheth provided input on the revised outline for Chapter 15. Asuman Dogac read the complete chapter and provided feedback. Mokrane Bouzeghoub and Eric Simon helped on the data warehouse section of Chapter 16. Dana Florescu, Alon Levy, Ioana Manolescu and Anthony Tomasic provided input for research prototypes in the section on Web and databases in Chapter 16. The material in push-based technologies section was reviewed (a number of times) by Stan Zdonik and Mike Franklin. Both of them also provided significant feedback about the characterization of data delivery alternatives. We are indebted to all of them, as well as to those who helped with the original edition of the book and whom we cite in the Preface to the First Edition. Many other colleagues have asked questions and provided suggestions over the years; unfortunately, we have not kept their names. Our thanks to everyone who has provided input. We look forward to receiving more suggestions on the second edition. We have had very good luck with our editors at Prentice Hall. Our current editor, Alan Apt, and our development editor, Sondra Chavez, have been tremendously helpful in both pushing us forward and providing the necessary institutional support. Our production editors, Ed DeFelippis and Irwin Zucker, have managed the production process so that the production of earlier chapters could proceed in parallel with our writing of the later chapters. This allowed the revised edition to be ready within one year. Stephen Lee, as our copy editor, made the entire text significantly more readable. Anne Nield helped us in many ways editing chapters, correcting the text and keeping us organized. Paul Iglinski wrote a number of scripts that helped immensely with cleaning up the b

Alchemical Works: Eirenaeus Philalethes Compiled (English and Latin Edition)

Eirenaeus Philalethes

"Who was Eirenaeus Philalethes? Everybody loves a mystery and... it provides a tantalizing puzzle for those who burrow into the archives of alchemy. Anonymity and paranoia were a traditional feature of the alchemical world view, and in Philalethes's own works he gives us a account of escaping from a greedy rabble...These writings where produced at a time when a noble ferment was bubbling in the newly opening world of science. It was a strange, paradoxical time, when the practice of alchemy inspired the very model of science ...The works of Philalethes were used by Newton in his experiments... This edition provides an excellent source book for the history of alchemy. Philalethes should be read as a serious contribution to Western alchemy." -- <i>Gnosis Magazine / Winter 1996 reviewed by Cherry Gilchrist</i>

The Nature of Technology: What It Is and How It Evolves

W. Brian Arthur

What is technology in its nature, in its deepest essence? Where does it come from? How does it evolve? With contagious enthusiasm, Arthur, an economics professor and a pioneer of complexity theory, tries to answer these and other questions in a style that is by turns sparkling and flat. Technology is self-creating, though it requires human agency to build it up and reproduce it. Yet technology evolves much like organisms evolve, and Arthur cannily applies Darwin's ideas to technologies and their growth. All technologies descend from earlier ones, and those that perform better and more efficiently than others are selected for future growth and development. But radical novelty in technology cannot be explained by this model of variation and selection, so Arthur argues that novel technologies arise by combination of existing technologies. For example, a hydroelectric power generator combines several main componentsa reservoir to store water, an intake system, turbines driven by high-energy water flow, transformers to convert the power output to a higher voltage: groups of self-contained technologiesinto a new technology. Arthur's arguments will likely alter the reader's way of thinking about technology and its relationship to humanity. <i>(Aug.)</i> <br />Copyright Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.

Her engaging husband-wife team find themselves matched with an extremely cunning serial killer. The bludgeoning of a bingo winner seems to be a simple mugging gone bad, until the police discover that the victim's winnings were left behind, displayed on the corpse in a perverse arrangement that hints at a cryptic deeper significance. Lloyd and Hill are put under additional pressure by the presence at the crime scene of a legendary reporter who had shown up the police two decades earlier by singlehandedly averting a miscarriage of justice through his identification of the real South Coast murderer, a serial slayer. With this entry, which may strike some as an homage to Agatha Christie's classic <i>The ABC Murders</i>, McGown's series can legitimately be compared to Peter Lovesey's outstanding Peter Diamond novels, blending police procedural and twisty whodunit tropes with sardonic humor and byplay between members of the police force. While she's not yet a household name in U.S. mystery circles, this excellent effort couldand shouldchange that. <br />Copyright Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.

The Roman Empire: Second Edition

Colin Wells

The Roman empire begins with Julius, the first Caesar, and ends five centuries later with the establishment of Christian rule in Western Europe. C. M. Wells chronicles the astonishing growth of the empire through military innovations that gave soldiers and colonists a tangible stake in Rome's success through the award of captured lands. He helps make sense out of complex episodes in Roman history, among them the so-called year of the four emperors and the rise of non-Roman rulers such as Maximinus. Wells also looks at the legacy of the Roman empire in modern governments, which derive much knowledge about administration, road building, hydrology, and assorted other practical arts from their ancient forebears.
