Blood in the Water: The Attica Prison Uprising of 1971 and Its Legacy

Heather Ann Thompson

Praise for Heather Ann Thompsons<i>Blood in the Water</i> <br /><br />Gripping . . . Not all works of history have something to say so directly to the present, but Heather Ann Thompsons <i>Blood in the Water: The Attica Prison Uprising of 1971 and Its Legacy</i>, which deals with racial conflict, mass incarceration, police brutality and dissembling politicians, reads like it was special-ordered for the sweltering summer of 2016. But theres nothing partisan or argumentative about <i>Blood in the Water</i>. The power of this superb work of history comes from its methodical mastery of interviews, transcripts, police reports and other documents, covering 35 years, many released only reluctantly by government agencies . . . Its Ms. Thompsons achievement, in this remarkable book, to make us understand why this one group of prisoners [rebelled], and how many others shared the cost. Mark Oppenheimer, <i>The New York Times</i><br /> <br /> Chilling, and in places downright shocking . . . [Thompson] tells the story of the riot and its aftermath with precision and momentum. Bryan Burrough, <i>The Wall Street Journal<br /></i><br /> A masterly account . . . Essential . . . <i>Blood in the Water</i> restores [the prisoners] struggle to its rightful place in our collective memory. James Forman Jr., <i>The New York Times Book Review</i><br /><br />A long, memorable chronicle . . . dense with new information . . . Thompsons capacity for close observation and her honesty [are] impressive. Adam Gopnik,<i>The New Yorker</i><br /> <i></i><br /> Masterful. Lewis M. Steel, <i>The Nation<br /><br /></i>Thompsons book is a masterpiece of historical research; it is thoroughly researched, extensively documented and reads like a novel . . . Magnificent. Terry Hartle,<i><i>The Christian Science Monitor</i></i><br /><br /> Heather Ann Thompson tracked down long-hidden files related to the tragedy at Atticasome of which have since disappearedto tell the saga in its full horror. Larry Getlen, <i>New York Post</i><br /><br /> Writing with cinematic clarity from meticulously sourced material, [Thompson] brilliantly exposes the realities of the Attica prison uprising . . . Thompsons superb and thorough study serves as a powerful tale of the search for justice in the face of the abuses of institutional power. <i>Publishers Weekly</i> Review of the Day (starred review)<i><br /></i><br />[A] real eye-opener for readers whose interest in Attica and knowledge of what happened ended when the headlines receded . . . Compelling . . . Sensitive . . . Impressively authoritative and thoughtfully composed. <i>Kirkus Reviews</i> (starred review)<br /> <br /> <i>Blood in the Water </i>is extraordinaryatrue gift to the written history of civil rights and racial justice struggles in America. Michelle Alexander, author of <i>The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration in the Age of Colorblindness</i><br /> <br /> Remarkable. <i>Blood in the Water</i> is a historical tour de force. It sheds new light on these most important historical events, events that in part triggered the wave of exponential prison growth today. For those of us who have been tracing the rise of mass incarceration in this country, Heather Ann Thompsons book is a must read. Bernard E. Harcourt, Professor of Law and Political Science at Columbia University<br /> <b><i></i></b><br /> Heather Ann Thompson wields the powers of the historian with mesmerizing force. Forty-five years after the Attica uprising, <i>Blood in the Water</i> offers the most complete history to date on that tragic episode and does so with unflinching purpose: a clearer view of the consequences for human life, both past and present. Glenn E. Martin, Founder and President of JustLeadershipUSA<br /> <br /> <i>Blood in the Water</i> tells of warning signs in 1971 that still exist more than forty years later. Heather Ann Thompsons prophetic analysis is a sobering reminder that we must all care about what is happening to human beings behind prison walls. Soffiyah Elijah, Executive Director of the Correctional Association of New York

Praise for Six by Ten “The voices heard in this powerful collection are haunting. As these men and women make inescapably clear, the practice of removing human beings from everything that makes them sane and stable—keeping them for days, months, and years in utter isolation without light, touch, sound, space, and hope—is unimaginably cruel. Six by Ten is a deeply moving and profoundly unsettling wake up call for all citizens. The use of solitary confinement is deeply immoral and we must insist that it be banned in all of our nation’s prisons. Immediately.” —Heather Ann Thompson, Pulitzer Prize–winning author, Blood in the Water: The Attica Prison Uprising of 1971 and Its Legacy “Some of the people in Six by Ten were convicted of crimes, but this book convicts the United States of an incomparably greater crime: blighting the lives and searing the souls of untold hundreds of thousands of men, women, and teenagers by a practice that more enlightened countries consider inhuman

The Lost Planet (The Lost Planet Series)

Rachel Searles

Gr 47This debut novel is a rousing space adventure, filled with government conspiracies, a quest for identity, and nonstop action. In the distant future, intergalactic space travel is possible, Earth has colonies, all humanoid races are ranked, and the Fleet, controlled by Earthans, enforce justice. Chase Garrety wakes up on the planet Trucon with a blaster wound to the head and a case of amnesia. He is taken in by Parker, an orphaned ward under the care of the mysterious and absent Asa. It becomes clear that Chase is no ordinary boy, and no one is quite sure who or what he really is. To make matters more complicated, Chase and Parker witness a horrific attack on their planet while on its moon, sparking what could be the beginnings of war. Chase must learn who he is and where he comes from, no matter where the answers may lead. While the universe and its inhabitants are interesting, character development and world building are on the thin side. The book's appeal, however, lies in its plot-driven story line, making it fun and accessible. Short, fast-moving chapters with cliff-hanger endings will be particularly attractive for reluctant readers. There is a planned sequel. Recommended for general purchase.Marissa Lieberman, East Orange Public Library, NJ

This addition to the Beautiful Bastard series will convince you that under any stiff-upper-lipped Brit is a man just waiting for you to bring out a beast in bed.” —That’s Normal “Beautiful Secret is so fresh, so adorably awkward, and—wow—the heat is explosive!” —Rock Stars of Romance “Christina Lauren’s most swoon-worthy book yet! The only way this book could be hotter is if it was on fire. No one writes romance like Christina Lauren does—with humor, heart, and the sexiest scenes around.” —Kate Spencer “Will we ever stop falling in love with Christina Lauren’s fictional men?

./pilimi-zlib-11170000-11209999/11171691

 Between Night and Morn Kahlil Gibran Philosophical Library  Editor’s Preface _The_ very heart of the mystic East emerges in this volume, and from the outset one feels the tremendous mood, the electrifying boldness, the terrible magnetism of the immortal Gibran. This ancient wisdom, set forth in the form of a simple yet profound philosophy of life, applies dynamically and with amazing timeliness to present human problems. But for all of his preoccupation with momentous subjects, Gibran is far from the modern school of poetry, and his style inclines to Victorian lyricism when not catapulting toward Dante or Goethe. It is at the same time powerful and tender; frightening and delightful; joyous and funereal; simple and tremendous. However, diametric opposites in substance apparently presented no difficulty in style to this master of simple, effective communication of subtle thought. Gibran’s style is incomparable in both poetry

Aunque el griego no aparece transliterado, las traducciones al ingls permiten el acceso a quienes tengan escaso conocimiento de la lengua griega antigua.

Fernndez in <i>Sehepunkte</i>, Ausgabe 11 (2011), Nr. 3<br /><br />"[...] <i>the contributors to this immensely learned companion will command the attention of both their professional colleagues and the advancing students of classical literature. The thirteen specialists, far from scripting a lengthy rehearsal of hackneyed arguments, have written perceptive and innovative (in certain cases even slightly controversial) introductions to their subjects, while at the same time offering arresting reassessments of important aspects of Greek Comedy.

Joshua Fowler

Dr. Joshua Fowler has written a book that will equip you to rule and reign from God&rsquo;s seat of authority, as you walk in the revelation of being seated in heavenly places in Christ. There is a sound of praise waiting to be released through you. As it is released, not only will your own prison doors open, but God will make you a point of breakthrough for others, as well. Get ready to rule over your enemies as God&rsquo;s praise marks your life.<BR /><B>&mdash;Matt Sorger,&#160;President, Matt Sorger Ministries/television host, <I>Power for Life</I>,&#160;Seldon, New York</B></DIV><br /><br /><DIV>This exceptional work by Dr. Joshua Fowler is one of the most profound yet practical approaches to this subject of praise and worship that I have read in a long time. The author&rsquo;s approach to this timely issue is a fresh breath of air that captivates the heart, engages the mind, and inspires the spirit. <I>Prophetic Praise </I>is a gift of motivation to worship.<BR /><B>&mdash;Dr. Myles Munroe, Best-selling author; founder, Bahamas Faith Ministries International</B><BR /> &#160;</DIV><br /><br /><DIV>Joshua Fowler is a man of God in passionate pursuit of His presence, and has been since he was a teenager.

He is a seasoned apostolic voice with a fresh mandate to unleash a flood tide of God&rsquo;s glorious river in and through the saints<I>. Prophetic Praise</I> is a hands-on, lifelong learning manual describing where the move of God needs to be directed and flowing in the coming days.<BR /><B>&mdash;Dr. Mark J.

How Robin Saved Spring

Debbie Ouellet

Lady Winter (A perfect world would be cold and white every day of the year) knits a magical white blanket to ensure that Sister Spring will never awaken from her seasonal slumber. A troubled Robin calls on his woodland friends to help wake Sister Spring, but Bear, Caterpillar, Maple Tree, Ladybug, and Skunk all fail. Robin finally flies to Mother Sun for some morning light, which awakens Sister Spring, but the closeness to Mother Sun turns Robins plain brown belly into a bright orange-red. Ceccolis romanticized acrylic paintings are not as edgily effective as those in The Girl in the Castle inside the Museum (2008), andthe visual characterizations dontenforce the potential robustness of the story. Still, this attractive bookwill attract adult readers who might want to include it in seasonal story hours. This original how-and-why story has the repetitive structure of a folktale, although Ouellets tale is not based in traditional lore. Preschool-Grade 2. --Janice Del Negro

Chapter Twenty-one Lights bobbed up the driveway. Kade’s truck rolled to a stop. The door opened and a baby wailed. Skylar dashed down the porch steps before Kade had Eliza out of the car seat. “What’s wrong?” “She’s mad at me for some reason. She screamed all the way home. Again.” “I’m sure it’s not you personally, Kade.” Sky unbuckled Eliza, picked her up, and right away Eliza snuggled into her and quit crying. Kade froze. “What did you do to get her to stop?” “Nothing magical. Must be luck.” She draped the blanket over Eliza to keep the rain off. Inside, while she waited for the bottle to warm, she changed Eliza’s diaper and put her in her fuzzy pajamas. After sucking down the bottle, Eliza fell asleep as if she’d been drugged, rosebud mouth slack, dark head thrown back. Sky settled her in her crib and returned to the kitchen. Kade was drinking a beer, gazing out the back door. She saw six canisters of formula, three bags of diapers, a gallon of milk, a bag of a

T'choupi Se Perd Au Supermarche (T'choupi l'ami des petits) (French Edition)

Thierry Courtin

Aprs de solides tudes en arts graphiques l'cole MET de PENNINGHEN l'ESAG puis l'acadmie CHARPENTIER, il est d'abord illustrateur indpendant et ralise des illustrations pour Bayard Presse, Hatier, Hachette (" la Bibliothque rose "), etc. Il entre en 1981 dans le groupe Bayard Presse comme maquettiste et illustrateur pour le magazine Pomme d'Api. Il y devient directeur artistique en crant le magazine Youpi. Paralllement, il illustre le magazine Popi et se spcialise dans la connaissance de l'attitude des tout-petits. Il se met son compte en 1992 pour se consacrer des projets personnels : ralisation de dcors d'missions de tlvision pour enfants, cration de la gamme graphique des CD du chanteur Pierre Lozre, illustrations de produits de puriculture pour des agences de design et de jeux (Absorba, Nestl, Peau Douce, Monsavon, Smorby, Mustella), collections d'albums pour la France et les Etats-Unis (Readers Digest, Penguin &amp;amp; Putnam)... et surtout la cration du personnage T'choupi pour les jeux Nathan. Il imagine un tendre petit garon pingouin, aux formes rondes et graphiques : il cre son univers, sa famille, ses amis et en plus le fidle confident de T'choupi : Doudou. Il ralise une gamme de couleurs plus douces que les couleurs alors en vogue : " j'ai travaill dans la recherche d'une forme ronde aux trois couleurs, ce qui le rend unique et c'est ainsi que la tte du pingouin conceptualis ma faon graphique m'est apparue. " Il a ralis plus de 30 produits-jeux de ce personnage. En 1997, les albums de T'choupi sont lancs, diffuss depuis 3 millions d'exemplaires dans plusieurs pays !... Thierry Courtin a toujours travaill pour les enfants de 1 5 ans, son graphisme qui va l'essentiel (puret, tendresse de ses dessins et de leurs couleurs) touche particulirement cette tranche d'ge et leur famille.

Lord Talon's Revenge: A comedy of greed, war, hatred, betrayal, and other desirable things

Tom Simon

Like most writers, Tom Simon has had a wide range of peculiar jobs, from sysop of a dialup chat board (before the commercial Internet) to assistant in a Member of Parliament's constituency office. One of his MP's constituents was an ardent advocate for the population of elves who lived (so he said) in a patch of wild ground in the midst of the city. Mr. Simon regrets that he was never personally involved in dealing with elf issues. However, he has met the usual assortment of witches, wizards, and one creature who styled himself Archdruid of Canada. A Canadian by birth, Mr. Simon lives in Calgary, but part of his heart will always remain among the mountains of British Columbia.

  Dear Reader: In the British Isles of the eleventh century, honor and loyalty weren’t merely virtues; they were a matter of life and death. The more I thought about this simple fact, the more I wondered what a loyal man would do when faced with choosing between a terrible insult to his honor and his loyalty to his lord Dominic. Simon had learned the bitter lesson of loyalty, life, and death in the First Crusade. He had learned it so well he was called Simon the Loyal, and his loyalty was to his brother (and his lord) Dominic. When his brother faced war in the Disputed Lands over a vassal’s broken engagement, Simon stepped forward to marry the jilted lady. Ariane was a lady with secrets as dark as her midnight hair, as dark as her songs. A woman betrayed. A woman without hope. A woman who no longer believed in anything, especially love. No longer a virgin, she had been sent by her father as a living insult to her future

Germans, Jews, and Antisemites: Trials in Emancipation

Shulamit Volkov

"Volkov deftly illuminates the paradoxical social, demographic and cultural position of German Jews, in which social and occupational distinction blended with distinctiveness.... this volume provides a rewarding summary statement of Volkov's contributions to German-Jewish history and especially to German history." <br />-Shelley Baranowski, Department of History, University of Akron, H-German<br /><br />"Volkov may be complemented for widening the aperture, and seeing the problem of Jews and antisemitism with a European, even transnational lens. The benefit of this approach is even more evident when she considers the Jews of Palestine, who despite their clear-sighted anguish about events in Nazi Germany in the 1930s nevertheless remained preoccupied with teh Zionist projects in Eretz Israel." <br />-Helmut Walser Smith, Vanderbilt University<br /><br />"Volkov does an excellent job of sketching out the contradictions and conflicts that plagued the process of acculturation...The three sections of this book are outstanding essays." <br />Jay Howard Geller, Canadian Journal of History<br /><br />"The essays collected in this book often have to do with German-Jewish reactions to antisemitism and with the complex dynamics of Jewish assimiliation....Volkov offers bold and penetrating answers to much-discussed questions....She conceptualizes and contextualizes the structure and meaning of antisemitism discourse deftly, setting up her arguments by identifying holes in the existing scholarship wit admirably clarity....abounds with fresh perspectives on large and difficult problems..." <br /><b>--Paul Reitter, Ohio State University, German Quarterly Book Reviews</b><br /><br /><br />"This book contributes excellent reading for all course on Jewish-German history." -Sabine Von Mering, German Studies Review

THE METROGNOME AND OTHER STORIES Alan Dean Foster INTRODUCTION GYRO GEARLOOSE, the ultimate inventor created by the immortal Carl Barks, one day invents a machine that can answer any question. Deciding to start it out with something simple, he points to a small bird outside his window and inquires of the device, "Why is that bird singing?" Whereupon the machine replies, "Oh, maybe he's glad, maybe he's sad, maybe he's a little mad. " The great Gearloose was not expecting lack of precision. He promptly embarks on a series of attempts to best his own creation by learning exactly why the bird is singing. Repeatedly frustrated, he is forced to invent an entirely new machine to translate the bird's voice so he can ask it the question directly. At which point it declaims, "Maybe I'm sad, maybe I'm glad, maybe I'm a little mad." Which is not a bad reply for an author to give when asked why one writes short stories. There's certainly no practical reason to do so. Only a handful of writers can

He knew the view well. The same buildings and trees, the same smog hanging over the same traffic jam this time of morning. Even the coffee was the same, just like every other morning. He rose long before the sun, nightmares chasing away any semblance of peaceful sleep. He always gave up and, after a punishing run, came in to the office. His employees thought he was dedicated, but the truth was he had nothing better to do. His only reason for smiling anymore was the one person he must stay far, far away from.

But in each of its words, it will preside over the whole of this lecture and all questions of hospitality, the historical questions – those questions at once timeless, archaic, modern, current, and future [à venir] that the single word “hospitality” magnetizes – the histor- ical, ethical, juridical, political, and economic questions of hospitality.

The Earth's Biosphere: Evolution, Dynamics, and Change

Vaclav Smil

Smil, in a presentation marked by balance and clarity, synthesizes the field of science dealing with the biosphere. It is an interdisciplinary one, combining organic chemistry, geology, solar physics, microbiology, zoology, and more. Whatever characteristics the biosphere displays on a global scale depend on living matter's fundamental chemistry, so Smil diagrams the structural backbone of cells--molecules such as cellulose or DNA. Moving next through types of metabolism, such as the ATP cycle, Smil explains the resultant chemical products and how they become fixed or cycled through the ground, water, or atmosphere. Addressing concerns about human influences on the biosphere, Smil describes them, but he is a scientist to the core (at the University of Manitoba) and is hesitant to proclaim doom as the certain outcome. That scientific humility only enhances Smil's work. A superior, comprehensive survey. <i>Gilbert Taylor</i><br /><i>Copyright American Library Association. All rights reserved</i>

Part I Problems of Biosphere Evolution and Origin of Life On Important Stages of Geosphere and Biosphere Evolution N. L. Dobretsov, N. A. Kolchanov, and V. V. Suslov Abstract The necessary conditions for the existence of protein–nucleic acid life are the presence of liquid water, some protection against high-amplitude tem- perature jumps and cosmic factors (these may be the atmosphere and or a thick layer of water or same rocks) and the accessibility of biogenes, which are macroelements and microelements. Two geosphere-related canalizing vectors of biosphere evolution can be discerned. One is associated with an irreversible cooling and oxygenation of the planet and the associated complex pattern of interplaying endogenous cycles, which affect climates as well as the amount and composition of the biogenes in the ‘‘liquid water zone.’’ Change of the convec- tion mode in the mantle between 3 and 2 Byr ago had the most important implications for the biosphere: the formation of plate tecto

The Beginnings of Western Science: The European Scientific Tradition in Philosophical, Religious, and Institutional Context, 600 B.C. to A.D. 1450

David C. Lindberg

This is the best history of ancient and medieval science that has been written for many years. It will replace the smaller two volumes by G.E.R. Lloyd, Early Greek Science: Thales to Aristotle (Norton, 1971) and Greek Science After Aristotle ( LJ 1/15/74). Lindberg's book not only reflects more recent research but is also much easier to read and provides major themes more clearly. Delineating 2000 years of science in all its varieties, from the physical sciences and mathematics to medicine and biology, Lindberg provides social, intellectual, and religious background and shows each development or theme in its appropriate historical context. The book is geared toward interested and educated lay readers and college students, who can use it as an introductory textbook on the early history of science. It is extensively illustrated and has a very good 35-page bibliography, making it a useful reference source as well. Highly recommended for most libraries.<br /><i>- Eric D.

Cambridge Companions Online © Cambridge University Press, 2006 dale jacquette 1 Introduction: Brentano’s philosophy brentano’s scientific revolution Brentano is among the most important yet under-appreciated philosophers of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. He led an intellectual revolution that sought to reverse what was then the prevalent post-Kantian trend of German-Austrian philosophy in the direction of an Aristotelian scientific methodology. At the same time, he made valuable contributions to philosophical psychology, metaphysics, ontology, value theory, epistemology, the reform of syl- logistic logic, philosophical theology and theodicy, and the history of philosophy and philosophical methodology. By revitalizing Austrian scientific philosophy, Brentano and his school simultaneously laid the groundwork for twentieth-century philosophy of science as it came to fruition in the logical positivism of the Vienna Circle, for the Gegenstandstheorie or object theory of A

American Notes for General Circulation (Penguin English Library)

Charles Dickens

<DIV><P>Charles Dickens was born on February 7, 1812, in Landport, Portsea, England. He died in Kent on June 9, 1870. The second of eight children of a family continually plagued by debt, the young Dickens came to know not only hunger and privation,but also the horror of the infamous debtors&#8217; prison and the evils of child labor. A turn of fortune in the shape of a legacy brought release from the nightmare of prison and &#8220;slave&#8221; factories and afforded Dickens the opportunity of two years&#8217; formal schooling at Wellington House Academy. He worked as an attorney&#8217;s clerk and newspaper reporter until his <B>Sketches by Boz</B> (1836) and <B>The Pickwick Papers</B> (1837) brought him the amazing and instant success that was to be his for the remainder of his life. In later years, the pressure of serial writing, editorial duties, lectures, and social commitments led to his separation from Catherine Hogarth after twenty-three years of marriage. It also hastened his death at the age of fifty-eight, when he was characteristically engaged in a multitude of work.</P> </div>

Process Differentiation and Information Systems Development Thomas Chesney and Helen Fletcher Buckinghamshire Chilterns University College thomas.chesney@bcuc.ac.uk Abstract This paper presents the results of a study to determine if and how the use case model (UCM) could be used by strategists in small businesses. The reason for wanting to use the UCM in this way is to get problem domain experts, that is top management, more involved in systems development by creating a requirements model which can be used by systems developers as a starting point for analysis. The use of the UCM by developers and strategists should facilitate communication between the two parties. The application that was found for the UCM in strategy planning was to use it to generate ideas of how the organisation's business processes could be differentiated. An idea generating technique, based on established idea generating techniques, was developed to do this. The results of testing the technique by experiment

Itch: The Explosive Adventures of an Element Hunter

Simon Mayo

Gr 6-9-In this fast-paced debut, 14-year-old Itchingham Lofte collects chemical elements. In the first few chapters, he manages to blow up some phosphorus in his room at home and then poisons his entire class with arsenic. These events pale in comparison to the trouble caused by the latest addition to his collection. Itch's supplier gives him a rock that "might be uranium ore" to make up for the arsenic fiasco, but it turns out to be something unique and highly radioactive when tested by his surly chemistry teacher. Dr. Flowerdew steals Itch's rock in order to curry favor with his previous employer, the petroleum giant Greencorps. With the help of his cousin Jacqueline, Itch steals it back and then he, Jack, and his younger sister must figure out what to do with the dangerous stone. They enlist the help of their geology teacher, but in the end they must face Flowerdew, Greencorps minions, and radiation sickness with only their wits and a few choice elements that happen to be in Itch's backpack. The teen's choices that leave him without adult help make sense, unlike some other stories that pit youthful protagonists against adult adversaries. Mayo tells a good story with a mix of action, characters with verisimilitude, and a painless dose of science. This rollicking adventure should have appeal far beyond chemistry geeks.-Eric Norton, McMillan Memorial Library, Wisconsin Rapids, WI(c) Copyright 2013.

THE GIRL WHO CRIED MONSTER Goosebumps - 08 R.L. Stine (An Undead Scan v1.5) 1 I love to scare my little brother, Randy. I tell him scary stories about monsters until he begs me to stop. And I’m always teasing him by pretending to see monsters everywhere. I guess that’s why no one believed me the day I saw a real monster. I guess that’s why no one believed me until it was too late, and the monster was right in my own house. But I’d better not tell the ending of my story at the beginning. My name is Lucy Dark. I’m twelve. I live with my brother, Randy, who is six, and my parents in a medium-sized house in a medium-sized town called Timberland Falls. I don’t know why it’s called Timberland Falls. There are a few forests outside of town, but no one cuts the trees down for timber. And there aren’t any falls. So, why Timberland Falls? It’s a mystery. We have a redbrick house at the end of our street. There’s a tall, overgrown hedge that runs along the side of our house

Most of these bands were awesome and unique and have yet to be documented accurately outside of their own recordings until now.

# Edge of Forever New York Times Bestselling Author ## Sherryl Woods River Glen was at the edge of nowhere—a tiny, sleepy town nestled on the shores of the Potomac. It was perfect for Dana Brantley, who, after a rocky couple of years, was looking for a peaceful place to start over. But the townspeople had other ideas for the new librarian. They thought she was perfect for their most eligible bachelor, Nick Verone. So did Nick’s ten- year-old son, Tony. And so did Nick, himself. He was intrigued by the mysterious Dana, and determined to find a way through her reserve. But what he discovers is a wounded and fragile soul. It will take more than his usual charm to convince her that in River Glen—and with him—she has found the edge of forever. # Also by Sherryl Woods WHERE AZALEAS BLOOM[*](e9781460314937_fnote001.html#B_1) CATCHING FIREFLIES[*](e9781460314937_fnote001.html) MIDNIGHT PROMISES[*](e9781460314937_fnote001.html) THE SUMMER GA

HODGKIN’S DISEASE 643 CHAPTER 31 Hodgkin’s disease Joachim Yahalom, MD, and David Straus, MD In the year 2003, approximately 7,600 new cases of Hodgkin’s disease will be diagnosed in the United States. Over the past four decades, advances in radia- tion therapy and the advent of combination chemotherapy have tripled the cure rate of patients with Hodgkin’s disease. In 2003, more than 80% of all newly diagnosed patients can expect a disease-free normal life span. Epidemiology Gender The male-to-female ratio of Hodgkin’s disease is 1.3:1.0. Age The age-specific incidence of the disease is bimodal, with the greatest peak in the third decade of life and a second, smaller peak after the age of 50 years. The second peak is probably an artifact of histologic misclassification, since recent studies have shown that many cases diagnosed as Hodgkin’s dis- ease in this older age group were, in fact, non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (NHL). Race Hodgkin’s disease occurs less commonly in African-Americans (2.3

Great Women Mystery Writers, 2nd Edition

Elizabeth A Blakesley

Although the first (1994) edition of this work included important women mystery authors from the 1900s through the 1980s, the new edition concentrates solely on women who have made names for themselves from 1990 to 2006. Some 30 of the 92 articles are updates, while the other 62 cover new authors. The criteria for inclusion are based on nomination for major mystery awards, commercial success, and critical acclaim. Yet newer, well-received authors, such as Tess Gerstein and Katherine Hall Page, are not included, and Joan Hess, Magdalen Nabb, and others who were in the first edition are excluded, even though they are still commercially successful and have written many new works in the last 12 years.

The Great Dali Art Fraud and Other Deceptions

Lee Catterall

A reporter for the Honolulu Star-Bulletin penetrates the sleazy netherworld of the art business in this tangled investigative report. In the 1980s, Catterall contends, thousands of art collectors and investors unknowingly bought fake prints purported to be signed originals by Dali, Chagall, Miro and other famous artists. Dali, who died in 1989, is portrayed here as "the P. T. Barnum of art," an avaricious huckster who, aided by his wife, Gala, used pre-signed print papers and dealt with shady publishers to create a $12-million-a-year racket. Efforts to crack down on unscrupulous galleries and boiler-room operations brought together the Federal Trade Commission, state agencies and police departments from New York and Los Angeles. Catterall focuses on a sensational 1989-1990 trial in Honolulu involving prints allegedly made by Dali, Chagall and Hollywood celebrities. A useful appendix lists genuine Dali lithographs. <br />Copyright 1992 Reed Business Information, Inc.

Leisure: The Basis of Culture

Josef Pieper

Pieper has subjects involved in everyone's life; he has theses that are so counter to prevailing trends as to be sensational; and he has a style that is memorably clear and direct. --<i>Chicago Tribune</i><br /><br />Pieper's message for us is plain.... The idolatry of the machine, the worship of mindless know-how, the infantile cult of youth and the common mind-all this points to our peculiar leadership in the drift toward the slave society.... Pieper's profound insights are impressive and even formidable. --<i>New York Times Book Review</i><br /><br />These two short essays by a contemporary German philosopher go a long way towards a lucid explanation of the present crisis in civilisation.... The first essay... should be read by anyone-and young people in particular-anxious to come to some conclusions about the nature of society." --<i>The Spectator, London</i>

Chapter 101: Hatred (Part Four) Translated by K of Exiled Rebels Scanlations Jin Ling sat up at once, shouting, “Uncle!” Jiang Cheng’s eyes swept over, responding coldly, “You wish! Now you’re calling me uncle—why did you run so fast earlier?!” After he finished, he turned the direction of his gaze either intentionally or not towards Wei WuXian and Lan WangJi. Before the pairs of eyes could meet, Su She had already steadied himself with his sword, Nanping, and lunged at Jiang Cheng. Jiang Cheng hadn’t even attacked when a string of dog barks sounded. Fairy charged into the temple like a flying fish and threw itself straight at Su She. Hearing the dog, Wei WuXian immediately felt his hair rise. He shrunk back into Lan WangJi’s arms, half-dead with fright, “Lan Zhan!” Lan WangJi had already embraced him without needing any reminder, replying, “I am here!” Wei WuXian, “Hug me!” Lan WangJi, “I am hugging you!” Wei WuXian, again, “Hug m

Black Girl Mania: The Graphic Novel

Bria Royal

As a multidisciplinary artist, bria royal considers her paintings, comics, and animation to be the result of a radical healing process that she hopes others will benefit from seeing unfold, and an attempt to construct intersectionally black and indigenous mythologies for ourselves and our future liberated descendants. Much of her work centralizes black and brown womxn and femmes as identities in constant solidarity with the elements of our natural world due to parallel experiences of exploitation and resistance.

The Cry

Helen FitzGerald

'Astonishingly good. It is utterly harrowing, completely plausible, constantly nerve-shredding ... It plays on the deepest, darkest fears of all parents about their children, and embeds that everyday terror in a plot so up-to-the-minute that you'll swear it's been lifted from the pages of a newspaper ... The Cry is a remarkable novel - its devastating power all the stronger for its realistic rendering. Brilliant stuff.' Doug Johnstone, Independent on Sunday Exceptional ... this powerful noir tale is by turns devastating and uplifting. Chris Ewan, author of Safe House A book you find yourself greedily gulping down. Herald The harrowing plot keeps you gripped until the final, devastating revelation. Sunday Mirror In this very modern novel, which arrives at a startling conclusion, Fitzgerald manipulates our knowledge of earlier cases in which women have been wrongly accused. -- Joan Smith Sunday Times The Cry really is extraordinary. In a just universe, it will be [Helen FitzGerald's] Gone Girl moment. Read it at once. Steve Mosby 'Fitzgerald's punchy thriller fleshes out new circles of parental hell -- Emma Hagestadt Independent Brilliant ... 300 pages of taut, sharp, chilling and often laugh out loud funny genius. Lisa Jewell It is not until the final pages and after twist upon twist that we are finally given a punch in the stomach, an ending that still leaves a question. Did she or didn't she? Is she mad or not? You've got to read this inventive domestic drama to find out. Highly recommended, read it and then all her others, particularly The Donor. She is very special. lovereading.co.uk An incredible read. I couldn't put it down. A beautifully crafted, heartbreaking story. Lisa O'Donnell 'THE CRY is excellent; unsettling and filled with moral ambiguity. Go read her. Now.' Russel D McLean This book takes a nightmare scenario and wrings every last drop of suspense out of it. It's gut wrenching in places, heart breaking in others, a purely visceral experience like very few other crime novels I can think of ... The Cry has been packaged to appeal to fans of Sophie Hannah and Julia Crouch - those doyennes of domestic noir - and while FitzGerald's style is more streamlined, darker and earthier, I think those fans will do well to add her to their must-read lists. 2013 has already proved to be a strong year for psychological fiction but The Cry is without question the best yet. -- Eva Dolan Crime Fiction Lover 'Her finest book to date ... thriller writing of the very highest order. Big Issue Scotland 'Stunningly good.' Mark Edwards My favourite read of 2013 (so far - but I can't see it being beat). Luca Veste I loved it. It's beautifully written and absolutely heartrending. I loved every page and couldn't put the bloody thing down. James Carol What a book! Superb. Michael Malone

##  I did stagger back to Imagisle on Meredi night, and almost overslept on Jeudi morning. I thought I’d had more dreams about fires, but I didn’t remember them at all clearly. The newsheets I picked up hurriedly after breakfast didn’t mention any large fires, either, but they might not have, because they were reporting that Ferrum was ready to declare war on Solidar, if our ships insisted on protecting “the enemies of Ferrum.” One of those enemies happened to be the Abierto Isles. There wasn’t much I could do about that and, fortunately, all I had to do on Jeudi, again, was watch justicing proceedings, and keep mental track of two more cases where the charges were dropped. Jeudi night, after Mardoyt was tied up with the final scheduling of prisoners, witnesses, and evidence for Vendrei’s hearings, I checked the cases. One charge sheet was missing, and in the other case, the charges were listed as being dropped. That made sense, because the accused alrea

The French Wars of Religion, 1562-1629 (New Approaches to European History)

Mack P. Holt

'This book is the first comprehensive study of the wars to appear for over twenty years ... it succeeds admirably in steering the reader through the confusing morass that is the history of the French Wars of Religion and provides the reader with a concise summary of current academic thinking on the matter ... it would provide those members wishing to learn more about the ones with an excellent starting point.' Arquebusier 24:3<br /><br />'Using brief biographies of the main actors of that time, figures, maps and an index, this book deals with a great amount of facts, questions, and ideas in a limited number of pages. Well written and carefully presented, it is a good and useful synthesis which gives an excellent overview of a deeply controversial period.' Bulletin de la Socit d'Histoire Moderne et Contemporaine 3-4<br /><br />'A skillful weaver of narrative and analysis... Holt .... offer[s] [a] masterful probing of complex and fascinating issues.'

Chosen for Charlie: When God Gifts You with a Special-Needs Child

Jen Forsthoff

"Chosen for Charlie celebrates the joy-filled destiny to be on mission for God as a parent. With Jen's thoughtful, provocative, and insightful reflections on the specific calling of the special needs of each child, you will be encouraged to find fresh hope in your personal journey." -Sue Detweiler, author, radio host, and pastor at Life Bridge Church "This is more than a wonderfully touching and profoundly inspiring memoir, though it is certainly that in spades. It is also theologically and spiritually challenging. This moving book is for all those on a 'special' journey. In fact, I highly recommend it to everyone willing to move to higher ground." -Dr. Mark Rutland, president of Global Servants and The National Institute of Christian Leadership "Jen Forsthoff has given us a most compelling, compassionate, and transparent insight into her incredible journey of faith, doubts, and questions about facing difficult and confusing assignments. This book is a God-given gift that speaks to the heart! I could not stop reading Chosen for Charlie, and neither will you!" -Kemp Holden, chairman, Worldwide Evangelism "In Chosen for Charlie, Jen beautifully unwraps the gift of what it means to be hand-selected by God to care for a special-needs child. While exposing the raw realities and tender truths of her own story, Jen's biblical and hope-filled teachings continually point back to the Lord as the source of strength for every parent's journey. Chosen for Charlie is a tremendous resource for every parent, grandparent, or anyone chosen to love and care for a special-needs child." -Becky Thompson, author of Hope Unfolding and Love Unending, creator of Scissortail SILK "There is no more powerful confidence builder in the world than to be 'chosen.' It sets you apart for something significant by someone that really matters. Jen has honestly shared her beautiful heart story so that you, too, may believe in the privilege you have as a 'chosen one.'" -Tammy Dunahoo, vice president of U.S. Operations and general supervisor, The Foursquare Church "I believe Chosen for Charlie will inspire and help you find healing and grace. Seeing the way Jen and her husband lead as parents with such grace and joy is a testimony of God's faithfulness. Get ready to be wrecked in a beautiful way to experience God's healing power through Jen's message." -Paul Daughtery, senior pastor, Victory Church, Tulsa, Oklahoma<br /><br />"<em>Chosen for Charlie</em> celebrates the joy-filled destiny to be on mission for God as a parent. With Jen's thoughtful, provocative, and insightful reflections on the specific calling of the special needs of each child, you will be encouraged to find fresh hope in your personal journey." -<strong>Sue Detweiler, author, radio host, and pastor at Life Bridge Church</strong>

 # CHRISTOPHER MOORE # A DIRTY JOB ### Christopher Moore Charlie Asher is a pretty normal guy. A little hapless, somewhat neurotic, sort of a hypochondriac. He's what's known as a Beta Male: the kind of fellow who makes his way through life by being careful and constant — you know, the one who's always there to pick up the pieces when the girl gets dumped by the bigger/taller/stronger Alpha Male. But Charlie's been lucky. He owns a building in the heart of San Francisco, and runs a secondhand store with the help of a couple of loyal, if marginally insane, employees. He's married to a bright and pretty woman who actually loves him for his normalcy. And she, Rachel, is about to have their first child. Yes, Charlie's doing okay for a Beta. That is, until the day his daughter, Sophie, is born. Just as Charlie — exhausted from the birth — turns to go home, he sees a strange man in mint-green golf wear at Rachel's

The Z Strain Book One Tuesday, August 13th, 2019, 6:19 PM CST Flight 191 from Chicago O’Hare to Denver International Gwen Harris walks down the isle of an airplane with red seats. She scans the seat numbers as she makes her way towards the back of the plane, she finds her seat and places her small black carryon bag into the overhead compartment. She flops down into the airline chair and rests her head against the headrest. She takes a deep breath as she watches the other passengers moving around the plane, putting their luggage away, and getting settled into their seats. The airport had been chaotic from the moment she hit the curb. Gwen leaned her seat back and took her book out of her purse, thinking to herself that as much as she loved coming to visit her best friend Penny, she vowed never to fly in and out of O’Hare again.

 Praise for VELOCITIES: STORIES “A modern genius of weird and dark fiction, Kathe Koja once again proves with _Velocities_ that she’s adept at plunging the reader into strange and unexpected places. One of my favorite collections of the year.” —Jeff Vandermeer, NYT-bestselling author of _Dead Astronauts_ , _Borne_ and the Southern Reach trilogy _“Velocities_ is prime Kathe Koja, with all that that entails: supercharged, dense as hell, oblique, glorious. Every story is a lesson in how to write faster, more intensely, from angles other people never seem to think of: industrial poetry, word mosaics like insect eyes, multifoliate as the insides of flowers, every image a scattered, burrowing seed, spreading narrative like a disease. I’ve loved her work since long before I ever aspired to produce anything like it—in fact, I’m still not sure anyone else is capable of doing what she does, of coming clo

Boroughs of the Dead: New York City Ghost Stories

Andrea Janes

Andrea Janes lives in Brooklyn, New York, across the street from a cemetery and a high-voltage ConEd substation and hopes that one day, maybe during a thunderstorm, this combination will result in some really cool zombie action. This is her first book.

./pilimi-zlib-11270000-11299999/11271108

 At the dawn of the twentieth century, New York City houses both the living and the dead. And when it comes to crimes of an otherworldly nature, it falls to the psychics and spirits of the city’s finest secret agency—The Ghost Precinct—to serve justice beyond the earthly realm . . . The ethereal denizens of New York owe a great debt to Eve Whitby, the young talented medium who leads the all-female Spiritualists in the police department’s Ghost Precinct. Without her team’s efforts on behalf of the incorporeal, many souls would have been lost or damned by both human and inhuman means. But now Eve faces an enemy determined to exorcise the city’s ghostly population once and for all. Albert Prenze is supposed to be dead. Instead he is very much alive, having assumed the identity of his twin brother Alfred, and taken control of the family’s dubiously made fortune. With unlimited wealth at his disposal,

Praying the Names of God: A Daily Guide

Ann Spangler

This devotional guide focuses on various names and titles of God, ones that reveal him as our Creator, our King, our Rock, our Refuge, our Fortress, the Lord of Hosts, the Shepherd, the Lord who heals us, the Lord who provides for us, and the Father who loves us. El Shaddai, Elohim, Adonay, El Roi, El Elyon, Yahweh, Abba---these are just some of the names that can lead us into deeper prayer and a more profound knowledge of the character and nature of God. Each book profiles twenty-six names and titles, providing material for six months of devotional reading, concentrating on one name per week. Each of the twenty-six sections will be comprised of the several segments, including a Name Page with the name in English with its Hebrew, Greek, or Aramaic equivalent, and then the following items for each day of the week: *Monday--God Reveals His Name (the Scripture passage that most fully reveals the name or title and a short prayer related to the name) and Understanding the Name (a short Bible study on the name with personal application). *Tuesday through Thursday--Praying the Name (daily devotionals based on a Bible passage related to the name, including a balance of praise, thanksgiving, confession, and intercession) *Friday--Promises Associated with the Name (Scripture promises that follow from the name or title). In the ancient Near East, names carried a much deeper significance than they do in our culture. Rather than simply distinguishing one person from the next, names often conveyed the nature or attributes of the person. To know someone's name was to have an intimate knowledge of that person. This is especially true when it comes to the names and titles of God, which reveal his character. By praying the divine names and titles and learning about the biblical context in which the name was revealed, we can have a more intimate knowledge of who God is and how we can rely on him in every circumstance of our lives.

Stiff: The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers

Mary Roach

"Uproariously funny" doesn't seem a likely description for a book on cadavers. However, Roach, a Salon and Reader's Digest columnist, has done the nearly impossible and written a book as informative and respectful as it is irreverent and witty. From her opening lines ("The way I see it, being dead is not terribly far off from being on a cruise ship. Most of your time is spent lying on your back"), it is clear that she's taking a unique approach to issues surrounding death. Roach delves into the many productive uses to which cadavers have been put, from medical experimentation to applications in transportation safety research (in a chapter archly called "Dead Man Driving") to work by forensic scientists quantifying rates of decay under a wide array of bizarre circumstances. There are also chapters on cannibalism, including an aside on dumplings allegedly filled with human remains from a Chinese crematorium, methods of disposal (burial, cremation, composting) and "beating-heart" cadavers used in organ transplants. Roach has a fabulous eye and a wonderful voice as she describes such macabre situations as a plastic surgery seminar with doctors practicing face-lifts on decapitated human heads and her trip to China in search of the cannibalistic dumpling makers. Even Roach's digressions and footnotes are captivating, helping to make the book impossible to put down.<br />Copyright 2003 Reed Business Information, Inc.

Mig Pilot: The Final Escape of Lt. Belenko

John Barron

I was so blown away by this book I had to meet Viktor in person and now count him as a personal friend. The book is factual in every respect and is difficult to put down once started. John Barron is an excellent author and did a first class job of writing Viktor's story. In addition to an exciting escape story it reveals why the Soviet Union had to collapse of its own ineptitude, deceit, and corruption. It details humorous incidents such as army pilots' mess-hall riots due to bad food. Mig Pilot is also a biography of an exceptional man whose intelligence saw through a lifetime of brainwashing. The story is humorous in places and engrossing from beginning to end. It starts right out with Viktor's desperate and harrowing escape flight to freedom in his top-secret Mig-25 Foxbat, then in subsequent chapters details the life events that led to his courageous decision to "go for broke" and make his live-or-die dash to freedom. It illustrates how America probably could have given the Soviets all of its top secrets and they would have found a way to screw up making use of them.Viktor is not only a first class pilot, he is also a true hero. Don't lend this book to anyone and expect to get it back.

 TWO MY HATRED NOTWITHSTANDING, I HAD to admit Dimitri Beli-whatever was pretty smart. After they'd carted us off to the airport to and onto the Academy's private jet, he'd taken one look at the two of us whispering and ordered us separated. "Don't let them talk to each other," he warned the guardian who escorted me to the back of the plane. "Five minutes together, and they'll come up with an escape plan.” I shot him a haughty look and stormed off down the aisle. Never mind the fact we had been planning escape. As it was, things didn't look good for our heroes—or heroines, rather. Once we were in the air, our odds of escape dropped further. Even supposing a miracle occurred and I did manage to take out all ten guardians, we'd sort of have a problem in getting off the plane. I figured they might have parachutes aboard somewhere, but in the unlikely event I'd be able to operate one, there was still that little issue of surviv

Annie's Potty

Judith Caseley

PreS --Annie says "No" to her new potty, and does not want to trade her diapers for underpants with bunnies on them. Interested in spite of herself, she watches her mother and a friend use the toilet. At last she begins to sit on her potty, and all goes well until she wets herself. "I'm not a big girl anymore," she worries, but her mother assures her that accidents happen. The next day Annie gets a present--a new pair of grown-up underpants decorated with her favorite giraffes. Charming watercolor and colored-pencil illustrations accompany this story. Caseley covers all the big issues of this coming-of-age event, from getting the new potty through eventual success. The events have the ring of authenticity, and the tone is warm and comforting. Joanna Cole's Your New Potty (Morrow, 1989) and Fred Rogers' Going to the Potty (Putnam, 1986) are excellent titles as well. Their full-color photographs and introductions for parents give them a purposeful feeling, while Annie's Potty is more understated. All three titles deserve shelf room in any collection serving the very young. --Lucy Young Clem, Evansville Vanderburgh County Public Library, IN<BR>Copyright 1990 Reed Business Information, Inc.

Annie Murray Miss Purdy’s Class PAN BOOKS Boxing Day, 1935 The bottle smashed through the window and shattered on the blue bricks of the yard. ‘You filthy stinking whore!’ His father flung the door open so that the children’s screams echoed round the yard. He lurched outside. Joey stood dry-eyed, paralysed in the one downstairs room. There had been plenty of fights. He knew it was different this time. ‘I’m not stopping ’ere one bleeding minute more!’ Wally Phillips stood out in the yard, yelling back at the house. He was a thin, stooped man. ‘I’ve had all a man can take. Four bleedin’ whelps to feed and clothe, and that brat in your belly ain’t even mine! I’ve put up with your boozing and your carrying on . . . I ain’t slaving myself to the bone for you no more . . .’ He stumbled backwards and cursed, just managing to regain his balance. ‘You’re in here with your legs spread for any tomcat who calls at the door . . . You’re filth, Dora – there’s no hel

Girl vs. Ghost (Misdirected Magic, Book 1)

Kate McMurry

CHAPTER ONE<br><br>Isabel Lindley surreptitiously pressed the backlight button on her watch. Its digital display gleamed like a mini beacon in the dimness of her candlelit bedroom. Seventeen minutes and fifteen seconds past nine o'clock at night. Precisely two minutes and seven seconds since the last time she'd checked. <br><br>&quot;Isabel!&quot; Her best friend, Tripp Macauley, paused in the midst of an incomprehensible chant. The hood of her royal-blue wizard's robe obscured her face, but her tone made it clear she was frowning. &quot;You're not focusing.&quot;<br><br>The two of them were seated tailor fashion at opposite edges of a six-foot-diameter circle Tripp had created by pouring a thick trail of table salt--which was going to be a major hassle to vacuum up. Isabel tipped forward a notch to give her aching backside a moment's relief from the hardness of the uncarpeted floor. <br><br>&quot;Yes, I am.&quot; Sort of. <br><br>&quot;No, you're not,&quot; Tripp said. &quot;Whenever your attention wanders, it breaks the energetic field binding us together.&quot;<br><br>&quot;I don't understand how I can make or break anything when I know nothing about casting spells.&quot; And in spite of Tripp's elaborate pretensions to witchy wisdom, Isabel didn't think her friend was much better. <br><br>&quot;You don't need to know anything,&quot; Tripp said. &quot;All you have to do is be my amplifier.&quot;<br><br>A fancy job title for waving the candle Tripp had given her every time Tripp waved hers. &quot;All right. Sorry.&quot;<br><br>Isabel sighed. Normally, nothing her quirky friend dragged her into bothered her. On the contrary, over the past seven years of their friendship, Isabel had found quite a few of Tripp's endless string of hobbies a lot of fun. So much so that Isabel had kept on with more than a few of them long after Tripp had moved on. <br><br>That definitely wasn't going to happen this time, though. Something occurred when she helped Tripp perform witchcraft that Isabel couldn't explain and couldn't shake--an eerie impression of being watched that was seriously creeping her out.<br><br>On Thursday, during the first of three repetitions of Tripp's spell on consecutive nights--which Tripp had proclaimed was crucial to insure the spell's success--Isabel had written off the experience as the result of too much caffeine. And when Isabel had kept uneasily glancing over her shoulder throughout the Friday-night spell session, she'd decided she was stressed out from a pop quiz in Advanced Placement Biology on what was barely the fourth day of the new school year. <br><br>But there was nothing she could blame her jitters on tonight. It was Saturday, so she hadn't had classes, and she'd had plenty of rest with no need for caffeine. Even so, the spooky sensation was so relentless, it was shredding her nerves.<br><br>Isabel scanned her bedroom as she continued to absently follow Tripp's lead in their candle dance. She could easily see under the twin-sized, platform bed to her left. Its coverlet was a hand-made quilt--a relic of Tripp's patchwork phase in the seventh grade--that came no farther than the upper edge of the birch frame. Nothing could hide under there.<br><br>Isabel's gaze skipped over laminated posters of classic horror movies and various systems of the human anatomy that hung on her walls and settled on the doors in her room. All three, the one to the living room, her en suite bathroom, and her closet, were shut. The blinds over the double windows facing her were closed, too, but it wouldn't have mattered if they were open. The condo where she and her divorced mother lived was on the tenth floor of a high-rise building in Alexandria, Virginia, and there were no other tall buildings nearby. There was no possibility anyone could be spying on her. None. <br><br>But the crawling on her skin refused to stop.<br><br>***<br><br>For the third night in a row, he hung like a spider from the ceiling of the shadowy bedroom of two teenage girls. They'd perched themselves on either side of a circle outlined on a hardwood floor with what appeared to be white sand, and the one shrouded like the Grim Reaper recited gibberish from a three-ring binder haloed by black mist. <br><br>Each time her friend, a blonde in jeans and a black T shirt with the slogan, &quot;I heart zombies,&quot; swirled her candle in tandem with the Reaper's, a weird light-show began. Wisps of back-lit purple smoke trickled from the blonde's belly; a thick, red smoke-light surged from the Reaper's midsection, and a churning, black cloud billowed from the binder. The black light wrapped itself around the other two colors and merged them at the center of the circle into a dark-red fountain--whose spray was aimed directly at him.<br><br>Fortunately, when the murky red light hit him, he felt nothing more than a slight tingling sensation, so he didn't feel threatened by it. <br><br>Until the third round.<br><br>The Reaper suddenly yowled like an angry cat; the red fountain exploded into an orange geyser, and he catapulted toward the floor. <br><br>His shout echoed the Reaper's as he splatted inside the circle, and a shriek from the blonde completed their ear-busting chorus. <br><br>&quot;What the...? How did you get in here?&quot; the blonde demanded.<br><br>He lifted his spinning head to respond, and his accuser scrambled to her feet. <br><br>&quot;Stay back!&quot; She yanked her arms chest high in a fighter's defensive stance, and he wasn't sure if she planned to take off running or use his skull for a soccer ball. <br><br>He was in no shape for a brawl, but even if he had been, the thought of hitting a girl horrified him. He shifted carefully onto his back while raising his hands in surrender to reassure her that he was harmless. <br><br>&quot;What's wrong, Isabel?&quot; her friend asked from the depths of her hood.<br><br>&quot;How can you ask that with a strange guy practically lying in your lap?&quot;<br><br>&quot;What guy? Where?&quot;<br><br>***<br><br>&quot;Are you blind? Him, Tripp, him!&quot; Keeping her fists up, Isabel jabbed an elbow toward the intruder to indicate where he sprawled. What was the matter with Tripp? <br><br>This was one of the worst of the worst-case scenarios they'd trained for at the full-contact, self-defense class Tripp had talked Isabel into taking with her last year. <br><br>Tripp twisted toward the floor lamp behind her and reached up to pull its chain. &quot;Uh, Isabel?&quot; Tripp shoved back her hood with a hand weighed down by gaudy rings. <br><br>&quot;What?&quot; Isabel spared a split-second glance from her vigilant monitoring of the stranger, whom she could see even more clearly in the blaze of light Tripp had introduced into the gloomy room. <br><br>Tripp's makeup-laden face, framed by spiky, green-streaked, black hair, revealed no emotion but confusion. &quot;I don't see anyone.&quot;<br><br>&quot;Of course you do,&quot; Isabel said as she asked herself what she should do next to keep herself safe. And Tripp, too, if she insisted on acting like an easy target.<br><br>Tripp was silent a moment, then said thoughtfully, &quot;I actually did a summoning spell, but I said we were doing a spell to open ourselves to spirit world.&quot;<br><br>Isabel held her focus on the intruder. &quot;What are you talking about?&quot;<br><br>&quot;That's it,&quot; Tripp said with a huge smile. &quot;That has to be what happened. I inadvertently changed the spell's intent by how I presented it.&quot; <br><br>&quot;Tripp! Stop babbling, get up, and start backing toward the door.&quot; <br><br>Fortunately, so far, instead of leaping to attack them, the intruder remained in a passive slump, tracking the verbal volleys between her and Tripp with the lethargic head rolls of a drunk at a tennis match. But it would be terminally stupid to count on his staying in that convenient state indefinitely.<br><br>&quot;Isabel, calm down. This guy may be a home invader, but he's not the kind you think.&quot;
