Momilies

What can I say? We all have them...moms and their truisms about life. When this book was first published I remember thinking, "yeah, my mother has something to say about everything." Two of her favorites were: "There's a place for everything, and everything in it's place" and "you've got six months to mind your own business and six months to leave other people's alone."The really scary part about all of this is that as an adult, I find myself not only heeding my mother's words but even repeating them to my own children! I've become my mother. We were really being brainwashed and we didn't even know it. I'll bet you have a few truisms passed down from your mother that you would like to share. Send in your "momilies" and let's compare. Tamu Aljuwani - Director, Educational Marketing momily, "RM" ([phonetic spelling]), n., pl. -lies.1. a sermon made by a mother.2. an admonitory or moralizing discourse from mother to child.For instance...You're not the only pebble on the beach.If you swallow the pit, a cherry tree will grow in your stomach.It'll never get well if you pick at it.Don't run with a lollipop in your mouth.Always put on clean underwear in case you're in an accident.Momilies "TM"A marvelously accurate collection of the things that mothers say!Including Pictures of the Mothers of Many Famous People!

Deep River

Cantus proudly announces the release of "Deep River," a treasury of African-American Spirituals. The Spiritual represents the musical melting pot of America like no other type of song by at once revealing its African roots while reflecting the American experience with music that speaks of both hardship and hope.

"Deep River" also delves into the roots of American roots music by exclusively featuring music by the preeminent first and second generation African-American composers - Harry T. Burleigh, William Dawson, John W. Work and Jester Hairston - in both well known and long forgotten arrangements of these immortal songs. Recorded by Stereophile Magazine editor John Atkinson in 24 bit sound, "Deep River" is a treat for the ears and a balm for the soul.

Saint-Saëns: Cello Concertos Nos. 1 & 2

Here's a logical and, believe it or not, rare coupling. Saint-Sans wrote two excellent cello concertos, and you would think that they would be featured together on more recordings. Instead, we usually get the far less musically rewarding "Lalo" Concerto, and listeners are robbed of the chance to make the acquaintance of the Concerto No. 2, which deserves to be much better known. Maria Kliegel is a very fine cellist--as good as anyone out there on any given day--and she has made a lovely series of recordings for Naxos. This is one of the best, a totally enjoyable romp through Saint-Sans's typically French combination of formal sophistication and polish. --David Hurwitz CD Composer: Saint-Saens,Camille

Too Loud, Too Bright, Too Fast, Too Tight: What to Do If You Are Sensory Defensive in an Overstimulating World

Heller, a developmental psychologist, knows firsthand how difficult life can be for people suffering from sensory defensiveness (SD). Symptoms include flinching from touch; overly acute senses of smell; fear of escalators; irritation at certain lights; and eating disorders. While these symptoms are often present from birth, for many other people they can be triggered by some traumatic event. Adding to the pain is the difficulty in diagnosing this ailment-some sufferers are told they have ADD or autism. Heller briefly discusses her own successful therapy and how it transformed her life. The book includes four sections-the first two focus on an overview of the condition, and the second two examine treatment, including diet, medication and relaxation techniques. Useful appendices list alternative treatments and resources. The writing is clear and relatively jargon-free, and sprinkled throughout the book are anecdotes from patients who have successfully battled SD. Patients who have this condition will find this book reassuring, especially since Heller discusses a treatment and usually follows up with a real-life scenario. For example, the section on light therapy ends with a success story of a woman who had learned to cope with her light sensitivity: "[Anna] realized that her eyes were wide open, no longer slits. She had spent years walking around in a haze, blinded by glare, with her brain taking in only a sliver of light." For people with SD, this title will wonderfully supplement their medical treatment. Copyright 2002 Reed Business Information, Inc. Dr. Sharon Heller has written a fascinating account of how sensation can run amok and cause problems. -- New York Newsday Sharon Heller, Ph.D., is the author of The Vital Touch and teaches courses in psychology. She received her master's degree from the University of Chicago and her doctorate from Loyola University of Chicago. She lives in South Florida.

EJ practices what she preaches. Having written Angel On Board in 1998, she became a successful author, then became the publisher (service provider) that she wished she could have found. Adding depth to this perspective is the fact that she was a computer consultant for many years before becoming a publisher. So, she knows the pain of merely depending on billable invoices to make a living.

Jewel of Heart

Ustad Habib Khan is regarded as one of the best sitar players in the world today. He was born into a family of musicians and can trace his lineage back several generations to when classical music enjoyed the patronage of the nobility and royalty of India. He began his training at the tender age of five under the strict eye of his accomplished father, Ustad Hameed Jaffar Khan. The Jaffar Khan family was from Indore and was well known for their unique style of playing the sitar, melding the effect of the human voice and the instrumental tone into a harmonious whole. Habib Khan has carved out a distinct style of his own which is a blend of his father's traditional techniques and his own imaginative innovations. He is as much at ease with light classical and religious music as he is with pure classical renderings of raagas. Habib Khan lives and teaches in the San Francisco Bay Area. He performs all over the world. He has composed music for several CD ad performed with world class musicians including Ustad Zakir Hussain, Pandit Swapan Chaudhuri, Pandit Ramesh Misra, Pandit Vikku Vinayakram, Hamze Aul Din and others. This world fusion album shows its roots in the music of India with strong compositions by sitar player Ustad Habib Khan. He's joined by tabla master Pandit Swapan Chaudhuri, Pandit Vikku Vinayakram on gatham, George Brooks on sax, Matthew Montfort of Ancient Future on scalloped fretboard guitar, Windham Hill/Narada pianist Ira Stein, and Ben Mawhorter on percussion.

The Venetian Mask

Eighteenth-century Venice, "the brothel of Europe," makes a perfect backdrop for this outstanding historical romance by genre veteran Laker ( The Golden Tulip , etc.). At the Ospedale della Pieta, a famous music school for orphaned girls, Marietta Fontana and Elena Baccini begin a lifelong friendship. Elena is forced to marry Filippo, scion of the powerful Celano family; Marietta weds the mysterious and handsome Domenico Torrisi, a wealthy widower and sworn enemy of the Celanos. But the young women continue their relationship, and when Elena secretly bears the child of a man she truly loves, she relinquishes the infant to be raised by Marietta, who is grieving over the death of her own baby. Domenico is jailed on charges trumped up by the unscrupulous Filippo, but Marietta and Elena search for years for evidence to free him. Although rich with memorable characters and plot, the story is almost secondary to the splendid setting in a city of masks, hidden intentions and sinister complications. Laker has a marvelous gift for evoking atmosphere with assiduously researched, intriguing details which she places throughout a genuinely exciting narrative. A cut above most writers in her genre, the British Laker has written what may be her breakthrough book on these shores. Copyright 1992 Reed Business Information, Inc. YA-- Raised together at a famous Venetian orphanage for musically gifted children, three talented girls form enduring friendships that see them through difficult times. Laker brings to life both the fun of masquerading in the Venice of the 1780s and the treachery of its feuds. Elena, Marietta, and, later, their husbands are particularly well drawn as readers see either their good dispositions or their evil natures develop. Fewer details are given about Adrianna, the third girl. She is less significant to the plot, but she provides the important link between the other two. The story progresses at a fast pace. The family feud that separates the women after their marriages becomes more serious and suspense builds on each page. Despite some unrealistic events, this is a well-written, well-researched, very entertaining story.- Claudia Moore, W. T.

Sorcerer's Companion: A Guide to the Magical World of Harry Potter

Harry Potter aficionados: remember when Buckbeak, Hagrid's pet Hippogriff, was put on trial by the Committee for the Disposal of Dangerous Creatures? This crazy idea was not invented by Harry Potter's creator, J.K. Rowling. In fact, from medieval times all the way up to the 19th century, animals and even insects were often charged with crimes, arrested, imprisoned, tried, convicted, and sometimes executed. Harry Potter's fantastic world of magic has its roots in true history, mythology, and folklore; father-daughter team Allan Zola Kronzek and Elizabeth Kronzek have now made this wealth of astonishing information available to Muggles in their Sorcerer's Companion. From astrology to Grindylow to reading tea leaves to witch persecution, this fascinating volume gets to the bottom of every magical mystery connected with Hogwarts. Readers learn the unusual method by which premodern Europeans protected themselves from the cry of the uprooted Mandrake, involving a loyal dog and a rope. (Professor Sprout's solution was to have her herbology students wear earmuffs). Hermione probably knew, when she was hexed by Draco Malfoy so that her teeth suddenly grew past her chin, that hexes originated in Europe. But did she know the connection between hexes and the folk magic of the Pennsylvania Dutch? For fans of the tremendously popular Harry Potter series, or anyone who is intrigued by magical lore, the Sorcerer's Companion will quickly become a true friend. (Ages 9 and older) --Emilie Coulter --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title. Father/daughter team Allan Zola Kronzek and Elizabeth Kronzek target the wizard's mature fans with The Sorcerer's Companion: A Guide to the Magical World of Harry Potter. Each alphabetically organized entry contains a potent blend of fact, fiction and folklore. The "Broomstick" entry, for instance, details the effects of a purported "flying ointment" that witches rub into their brooms to prepare for takeoff. The section on "The Sorcerer's Stone" explains the ancient Egyptian art of alchemy. A note at the end of each section shows readers where to find the reference in the Harry Potter books. Thorough research and period prints combine to create a memorable book. Copyright 2001 Cahners Business Information, Inc. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title. Gr 4 Up-Anyone who thinks that grims, grindylows, hinkypunks, and hippogriffs were invented by J. K. Rowling will be surprised by this offering. Each of the 84 alphabetical entries describes a subject studied (arithmancy, divination), an object used (wand, cauldron), or a creature that appears in at least one of the Potter books, including a specific reference to the title, chapter, and page number. Then, using references from ancient, medieval, and modern literature, legend, mythology, and religion (almost 100 sources are listed in the extensive bibliography), each entry goes on to describe where, when, and how that subject, object, or creature has also been part of Western history, literature, or oral tradition. Most entries are from one to three pages long, with some notable exceptions-12 pages on magic and 14 on magicians throughout history. A fascinating history of the uses and abuses of medieval alchemy is buried within the article on the sorcerer's stone, but most subjects are easy to find. Sidebars highlight specific aspects in detail-the mummy's curse, alchemical frauds, animals on trial. More than half of the entries are illustrated with black-and-white drawings, woodcuts, or reproductions. The material is interesting and informative, easy to read, and fairly wide-ranging. The same readers who can't get enough of Harry Potter will enjoy learning about arithmancy, spell casting, and much more here, while waiting anxiously for the next Rowling novel to appear.Susan L. Rogers, Chestnut Hill Academy, PACopyright 2001 Cahners Business Information, Inc. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title. Who was the real Nicholas Flamel? How did the Sorcerer?s Stone get its power? Did J. K. Rowling dream up the terrifying basilisk, the seductive veela, or the vicious grindylow? And if she didn?t, who did?Millions of readers around the world have been enchanted by the magical world of wizardry, spells, and mythical beasts inhabited by Harry Potter and his friends. But what most readers don?t know is that there is a centuries-old trove of true history, folklore, and mythology behind Harry?s fantastic universe. Now, with The Sorcerer?s Companion, those without access to the Hogwarts library can school themselves in the fascinating reality behind J.K. Rowling?s world of magic. The Sorcerer?s Companion allows curious readers to look up anything magical from the Harry Potter books and discover a wealth of entertaining, unexpected information. Wands and wizards, boggarts and broomsticks, hippogriffs and herbology, all have astonishing histories rooted in legend, literature, or real-life events dating back hundreds or even thousands of years. Magic wands, like those sold in Rowling?s Diagon Alley, were once fashioned by Druid sorcerers out of their sacred yew trees. Love potions were first concocted in ancient Greece and Egypt. And books of spells and curses were highly popular during the Middle Ages. From Amulets to Zombies, you?ll also learn:? how to read tea leaves ? where to find a basilisk today ? how King Frederick II of Denmark financed a war with a unicorn horn ? who the real Merlin was ? how to safely harvest mandrake root ? who wore the first invisibility cloak? how to get rid of a goblin ? why owls were feared in the ancient world? the origins of our modern-day ?bogeyman,? and more. A spellbinding tour of Harry?s captivating world, The Sorcerer?s Companion is a must for every Potter aficionado?s bookshelf.The Sorcerer's Companion has not been prepared, approved, or licensed by any person or entity that created, published, or produced the Harry Potter books or related properties. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

If you're like most Harry Potter fans, you probably know that Harry's prized possession is his broomstick, Hermione's favorite subject is arithmancy, and a magnificent creature called a hipogriff helped Sirius Black evade capture. But did you know that wizards were once thought to fly on pitchfoks, arithmancy is an ancient form of fortune-telling, and the hippogriff was first mounted by the legendary knights of Charlemagne? Or that Professor Dumbledore's friend Nicholas Flamel, creator of the Sorcerer's stone, was a real person?So quickly do the astonishing adventures of Harry and his friends fly by that we rarely have a moment to consider the wealth of real mythology, folklore, and history that shimmers just beneath the surface. One of the great pleasures of reading the Harry Potter books comes from the extraordinary richness of the magical universe they contain--fashioned partly from J.K. Rowling's seemingly boundless imagination and partly from the vast collective lore of magic from around the world. Potions and charms, giants and dragons, cauldrons and crystal balls--all have intriguing and often surprising histories going back hundreds and sometimes thousands of years. Magic wands like those sold in Diagon Alley were once fashoned by Druid sorcerers out of the sacred yew tree. Love potions are traceable to ancient Greece and Rome. And books of spells and curses--required reading at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry--were highly popular (and much frowned upon) during the Middle Ages.The Sorcerer's Companion allows the curious reader to look up anything magical from any of the first four Harry Potter books and discover a wealth of fascinating and unexpected information. How did the Sorcerer's Stone get its power? What were the first magic words? Did J.K. Rowling dream up the terrifying basilisk, the seductive veela, or the vicious grindylow? And if she didn't, who did? The Sorcerer's Companion has the answers. The history of magical beliefs is vast, and in writing this book we had to leave out far more than we put in. Barely mentioned are the rich traditions of magic and mythology of China, Africa, India, Japan, Australia, and South America. Rather we have limited our focus to those aspects of lore directly related to Harry's world. Nearly all of the magical practices at Hogwarts are rooted in the Western magical tradition, which emerged from the ancient empires of the Middle East, Greece, and Rome. Imaginary creatures like the centaur, the manticore, and the unicorn come from the same rich tradition. Many other magical beings, such as elves, gnomes, goblins, hinkypunks, and trolls, have their roots in the folklore of northern Europe and the British Isles.When we first began writing The Sorcerer's Companion we asked Harry Potter fans what subjects interested them the most. Some wanted to know more about spells, charms, and curses. Others were eager to learn about boggarts, red caps, or the difference between witches and hags. We expect you, too, will have your own particular interests and will follow them as you choose. This book is not intended to be read straight through in alphabetical order, although it certainly can be. You might want to start with the Magic entry for an introduction to this fascinating subject. But you can actually start anywhere--and chances are, you'll end up everywhere. In each entry, we've tried to provide an overview of the subject and its roots in mythology, folklore, and history. Whenever a word appears in bold, that means it has its own entry. Following most entries, you'll find a symbol and an abbreviation indicating one place in the Harry Potter books where the subject appears. SS 5/71, for example, refers you to Harry Potter and the Sorcer's Stone, chapter 5, page 71. CS refers to Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, PA refers to Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, and GF refers to Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. All references are to the American editions. In researching The Sorcerer's Companion we learned many curious things we never expected to know, like how to read tea leaves, get rid of goblins, safely harvest mandrake root, and use arithmancy to choose a breakfast cereal. We feel more secure knowing how to recognize a demon and what to do if attacked by a ghoul (never, ever hit him twice). We hope all of this information is as interesting to you as it is to us. You might never know when you might need it.AmuletAre you unusually susceptible to colds and infections? Do you have a tendency to attract the wrong kind of attention? Are you plagued by bad luck? If the answer to any of these questions is yes, an amulet might be just what the doctor ordered. In fact, centuries ago, an amulet was what the doctor ordered--to ward off disease, avoid misfortune, or chase away evil spirits.An amulet (from the Latin word amuletum, meaning a method of defense) is an object thought to magically protect its owner from harm. Amulets can come in any size, shape, or material. Indeed, when Hogwarts is struck by a mysterious epidemic of petrification, Neville Longbottom tries to protect himself with an amulet made from a smelly green onion! amulets range from small pendants, rings, and pouches of herbs (worn around the neck to prevent disease) to sizable statues and wall hangings intended to protect the entire household, building, or village. The ancient Babylonians liked to wear tiny, jewel-encrusted clay cylinders to ward off evil spirits. The Romans collected sculptures of Priapus, the god of luck and fertility, and many Americans still hang lucky horseshoes over their doors to guard against misfortune and unwelcome visitors.Amulets have been present in virtually every society since the beginning of recorded history. The earliest amulets were probably just chunks of stone or metal whose bright colors or unusual shapes suggested they might have magical properties. (In India and Thailand, pieces of pink coral are still used to ward off the evil eye.) Over time, however, it became customary to make amulets in the shape of animals, god and goddess figures, and magic symbols. Images of horns and hands (symbolizing fertility and life) and drawings or carvings of the human eye (suggesting eternal watchfulness) appear on amulets throughout the world. Many amulets also have magic words, short spells, or the names of gods written on them. Although their appeal is nearly universal, amulets are most closely associated with the ancient Egyptians, who wore them everywhere--even to the grave. It was customary for mummies to be buried with dozens of beetle-shaped amulets called scarabs. These small stone figurines, named after a real type of Egyptian beetle, were supposed to prevent the deceased person's soul from being eaten by Ammit the Devourer--a dreadful part-lion, part-hippo, part-crocodile who guarded scales of justice in the Egyptian afterworld. Apparently, the more important a person was, the more scarabs he took to the afterworld. When King Tutankhamen's body was unearthed some eighty years ago, over 140 amulets were found tucked away in the wrappings of his mummy! Other common Egyptian amulets like the ankh (an Egyptian hieroglyph symbolizing life) and the wadjet (commonly known as the Eye of Horus) served more practical purposes: protecting living Egyptians from death, disease, and the evil eye. Unfortunately, amulets do have their limitations. For instance, they can only protect you from specific dangers for which they are designed. A scarab may scare Ammit the Devourer, but it's useless against vampires, hinkypunks, and treasure-hungry archaeologists. And if you're going to do battle with the forces of evil, it's important not to confuse amulets with their close cousins, talismans. Unlike enchanted swords, invisibility cloaks, and other classic talismans, amulets do not endow their owners with magical abilities. An amulet cannot be used as a weapon, only as a shield. So if you're planning some epic adventure--like slaying a dragon--you should probably swap your lucky rabbit's foot for the sword of Sir Godric Gryffindor. But if you prefer to stay home where it's nice and cozy, nothing beats an amulet for keeping hostile forces at bay.

Sorcerer's Companion: A Guide to the Magical World of Harry Potter Harry Potter aficionados: remember when Buckbeak, Hagrid's pet Hippogriff, was put on trial by the Committee for the Disposal of Dangerous Creatures? This crazy idea was not invented by Harry Potter's creator, J.K. Rowling. In fact, from medieval times all the way up to the 19th century, animals and even insects were often charged with crimes, arrested, imprisoned, tried, convicted, and sometimes executed. Harry Potter's fantastic world of magic has its roots in true history, mythology, and folklore; father-daughter team Allan Zola Kronzek and Elizabeth Kronzek have now made this wealth of astonishing information available to Muggles in their Sorcerer's Companion. From astrology to Grindylow to reading tea leaves to witch persecution, this fascinating volume gets to the bottom of every magical mystery connected with Hogwarts. Readers learn the unusual method by which premodern Europeans protected themselves from the cry of the uprooted Mandrake, involving a loyal dog and a rope. (Professor Sprout's solution was to have her herbology students wear earmuffs). Hermione probably knew, when she was hexed by Draco Malfoy so that her teeth suddenly grew past her chin, that hexes originated in Europe. But did she know the connection between hexes and the folk magic of the Pennsylvania Dutch? For fans of the tremendously popular Harry Potter series, or anyone who is intrigued by magical lore, the Sorcerer's Companion will quickly become a true friend. (Ages 9 and older) --Emilie Coulter --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title. Father/daughter team Allan Zola Kronzek and Elizabeth Kronzek target the wizard's mature fans with The Sorcerer's Companion: A Guide to the Magical World of Harry Potter. Each alphabetically organized entry contains a potent blend of fact, fiction and folklore. The "Broomstick" entry, for instance, details the effects of a purported "flying ointment" that witches rub into their brooms to prepare for takeoff. The section on "The Sorcerer's Stone" explains the ancient Egyptian art of alchemy. A note at the end of each section shows readers where to find the reference in the Harry Potter books. Thorough research and period prints combine to create a memorable book. Copyright 2001 Cahners Business Information, Inc. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title. Gr 4 Up-Anyone who thinks that grims, grindylows, hinkypunks, and hippogriffs were invented by J. K. Rowling will be surprised by this offering. Each of the 84 alphabetical entries describes a subject studied (arithmancy, divination), an object used (wand, cauldron), or a creature that appears in at least one of the Potter books, including a specific reference to the title, chapter, and page number. Then, using references from ancient, medieval, and modern literature, legend, mythology, and religion (almost 100 sources are listed in the extensive bibliography), each entry goes on to describe where, when, and how that subject, object, or creature has also been part of Western history, literature, or oral tradition. Most entries are from one to three pages long, with some notable exceptions-12 pages on magic and 14 on magicians throughout history. A fascinating history of the uses and abuses of medieval alchemy is buried within the article on the sorcerer's stone, but most subjects are easy to find. Sidebars highlight specific aspects in detail-the mummy's curse, alchemical frauds, animals on trial. More than half of the entries are illustrated with black-and-white drawings, woodcuts, or reproductions. The material is interesting and informative, easy to read, and fairly wide-ranging. The same readers who can't get enough of Harry Potter will enjoy learning about arithmancy, spell casting, and much more here, while waiting anxiously for the next Rowling novel to appear.Susan L. Rogers, Chestnut Hill Academy, PACopyright 2001 Cahners Business Information, Inc. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title. Who was the real Nicholas Flamel? How did the Sorcerer?s Stone get its power? Did J. K. Rowling dream up the terrifying basilisk, the seductive veela, or the vicious grindylow? And if she didn?t, who did?Millions of readers around the world have been enchanted by the magical world of wizardry, spells, and mythical beasts inhabited by Harry Potter and his friends. But what most readers don?t know is that there is a centuries-old trove of true history, folklore, and mythology behind Harry?s fantastic universe. Now, with The Sorcerer?s Companion, those without access to the Hogwarts library can school themselves in the fascinating reality behind J.K. Rowling?s world of magic. The Sorcerer?s Companion allows curious readers to look up anything magical from the Harry Potter books and discover a wealth of entertaining, unexpected information. Wands and wizards, boggarts and broomsticks, hippogriffs and herbology, all have astonishing histories rooted in legend, literature, or real-life events dating back hundreds or even thousands of years. Magic wands, like those sold in Rowling?s Diagon Alley, were once fashioned by Druid sorcerers out of their sacred yew trees. Love potions were first concocted in ancient Greece and Egypt. And books of spells and curses were highly popular during the Middle Ages. From Amulets to Zombies, you?ll also learn:? how to read tea leaves ? where to find a basilisk today ? how King Frederick II of Denmark financed a war with a unicorn horn ? who the real Merlin was ? how to safely harvest mandrake root ? who wore the first invisibility cloak? how to get rid of a goblin ? why owls were feared in the ancient world? the origins of our modern-day ?bogeyman,? and more. A spellbinding tour of Harry?s captivating world, The Sorcerer?s Companion is a must for every Potter aficionado?s bookshelf.The Sorcerer's Companion has not been prepared, approved, or licensed by any person or entity that created, published, or produced the Harry Potter books or related properties. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

If you're like most Harry Potter fans, you probably know that Harry's prized possession is his broomstick, Hermione's favorite subject is arithmancy, and a magnificent creature called a hipogriff helped Sirius Black evade capture. But did you know that wizards were once thought to fly on pitchfoks, arithmancy is an ancient form of fortune-telling, and the hippogriff was first mounted by the legendary knights of Charlemagne? Or that Professor Dumbledore's friend Nicholas Flamel, creator of the Sorcerer's stone, was a real person?So quickly do the astonishing adventures of Harry and his friends fly by that we rarely have a moment to consider the wealth of real mythology, folklore, and history that shimmers just beneath the surface. One of the great pleasures of reading the Harry Potter books comes from the extraordinary richness of the magical universe they contain--fashioned partly from J.K. Rowling's seemingly boundless imagination and partly from the vast collective lore of magic from around the world. Potions and charms, giants and dragons, cauldrons and crystal balls--all have intriguing and often surprising histories going back hundreds and sometimes thousands of years. Magic wands like those sold in Diagon Alley were once fashoned by Druid sorcerers out of the sacred yew tree. Love potions are traceable to ancient Greece and Rome. And books of spells and curses--required reading at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry--were highly popular (and much frowned upon) during the Middle Ages.The Sorcerer's Companion allows the curious reader to look up anything magical from any of the first four Harry Potter books and discover a wealth of fascinating and unexpected information. How did the Sorcerer's Stone get its power? What were the first magic words? Did J.K. Rowling dream up the terrifying basilisk, the seductive veela, or the vicious grindylow? And if she didn't, who did? The Sorcerer's Companion has the answers. The history of magical beliefs is vast, and in writing this book we had to leave out far more than we put in. Barely mentioned are the rich traditions of magic and mythology of China, Africa, India, Japan, Australia, and South America. Rather we have limited our focus to those aspects of lore directly related to Harry's world. Nearly all of the magical practices at Hogwarts are rooted in the Western magical tradition, which emerged from the ancient empires of the Middle East, Greece, and Rome. Imaginary creatures like the centaur, the manticore, and the unicorn come from the same rich tradition. Many other magical beings, such as elves, gnomes, goblins, hinkypunks, and trolls, have their roots in the folklore of northern Europe and the British Isles.When we first began writing The Sorcerer's Companion we asked Harry Potter fans what subjects interested them the most. Some wanted to know more about spells, charms, and curses. Others were eager to learn about boggarts, red caps, or the difference between witches and hags. We expect you, too, will have your own particular interests and will follow them as you choose. This book is not intended to be read straight through in alphabetical order, although it certainly can be. You might want to start with the Magic entry for an introduction to this fascinating subject. But you can actually start anywhere--and chances are, you'll end up everywhere. In each entry, we've tried to provide an overview of the subject and its roots in mythology, folklore, and history. Whenever a word appears in bold, that means it has its own entry. Following most entries, you'll find a symbol and an abbreviation indicating one place in the Harry Potter books where the subject appears. SS 5/71, for example, refers you to Harry Potter and the Sorcer's Stone, chapter 5, page 71. CS refers to Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, PA refers to Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, and GF refers to Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. All references are to the American editions. In researching The Sorcerer's Companion we learned many curious things we never expected to know, like how to read tea leaves, get rid of goblins, safely harvest mandrake root, and use arithmancy to choose a breakfast cereal. We feel more secure knowing how to recognize a demon and what to do if attacked by a ghoul (never, ever hit him twice). We hope all of this information is as interesting to you as it is to us. You might never know when you might need it.AmuletAre you unusually susceptible to colds and infections? Do you have a tendency to attract the wrong kind of attention? Are you plagued by bad luck? If the answer to any of these questions is yes, an amulet might be just what the doctor ordered. In fact, centuries ago, an amulet was what the doctor ordered--to ward off disease, avoid misfortune, or chase away evil spirits.An amulet (from the Latin word amuletum, meaning a method of defense) is an object thought to magically protect its owner from harm. Amulets can come in any size, shape, or material. Indeed, when Hogwarts is struck by a mysterious epidemic of petrification, Neville Longbottom tries to protect himself with an amulet made from a smelly green onion! amulets range from small pendants, rings, and pouches of herbs (worn around the neck to prevent disease) to sizable statues and wall hangings intended to protect the entire household, building, or village. The ancient Babylonians liked to wear tiny, jewel-encrusted clay cylinders to ward off evil spirits. The Romans collected sculptures of Priapus, the god of luck and fertility, and many Americans still hang lucky horseshoes over their doors to guard against misfortune and unwelcome visitors.Amulets have been present in virtually every society since the beginning of recorded history. The earliest amulets were probably just chunks of stone or metal whose bright colors or unusual shapes suggested they might have magical properties. (In India and Thailand, pieces of pink coral are still used to ward off the evil eye.) Over time, however, it became customary to make amulets in the shape of animals, god and goddess figures, and magic symbols. Images of horns and hands (symbolizing fertility and life) and drawings or carvings of the human eye (suggesting eternal watchfulness) appear on amulets throughout the world. Many amulets also have magic words, short spells, or the names of gods written on them. Although their appeal is nearly universal, amulets are most closely associated with the ancient Egyptians, who wore them everywhere--even to the grave. It was customary for mummies to be buried with dozens of beetle-shaped amulets called scarabs. These small stone figurines, named after a real type of Egyptian beetle, were supposed to prevent the deceased person's soul from being eaten by Ammit the Devourer--a dreadful part-lion, part-hippo, part-crocodile who guarded scales of justice in the Egyptian afterworld.

Fast Five (2011)

More is less is generally the case with blockbuster sequels these days, with budgetary bloat often overshadowing the qualities that made the original film click with audiences. The Fast and the Furious movies, however, somehow manage to spin doughnuts around this concept of diminishing returns, with each installment becoming more ridiculously entertaining. Fast Five may be the most overblown entry in the series to date (which is saying quite a bit), but there's a dunderheaded earnestness to it that's hard to resist. This time around, Vin Diesel and Paul Walker and Co. go for an Ocean's 11 vibe--swapping out the Armani and martinis for Ed Hardy and Muscle Milk--as the gang go on the lam in Rio following a botched train heist. On the lookout for one final big score, they set their sights on bankrupting the local kingpin (an admirably straight-faced Joaquim de Almeida), calling in seemingly every character in the mythos for help. Stuff goes vroom and boom in mass quantities. Perhaps realizing that the formula may be in danger of reaching its shelf date, returning director Justin Lin here livens things up by bringing in Dwayne Johnson as a federal agent with a fearsome grudge. When he and Diesel eventually throw down, the building-busting destruction recalls the immortal War of the Gargantuas. Viewers in the mood for a little logic with their explosions may initially scoff, but by the time the final chase scene rolls around (an outrageously sustained kinetic set piece that would make Wile E. Coyote proud) it's tough to keep back the grins. Heaven only knows what the next sequel will bring (Send them back to colonial times? A race against Cthulhu in outer space? Pit them against Dick Dastardly and Muttley?), but there's every confidence that these folks will somehow pull it off. --Andrew Wright Fugitive Dom Toretto (Vin Diesel) partners with former cop Brian O'Conner (Paul Walker) on the opposite side of the law in exotic Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. There they are hunted by a high-powered US strike force led by their toughest Fed (Dwayne Johnson) and an army of corrupt cops working for a ruthless drug kingpin. To gain their freedom and win this ultimate high-stakes race, they must pull off one last job -- an insane heist worth $100 million.

My Life to Live [VHS] (1962)

Jean-Luc Godard and the French New Wave were at the height of their power and creativity when Godard released Vivre Sa Vie (Living Her Life) in 1962. And watching it again, years later, instantly transports one to the era where an offhand remark, a lazy circle of cigarette smoke, a sidelong glance, a disaffected "I don't care about you" could all communicate deep, conflicted longing, alienation, postwar malaise, and infinite possibility. In fact, watching Vivre Sa Vie, starring Godard's lovely muse, Anna Karina, is at once both enervating--and exhilarating. The film is subtitled Film en Douze Tableaux, and the story shows Karina as Nana in 12 different short films, snapshots of her lonely, seemingly aimless life--in scenes that stay with the viewer for days afterward. In the very first tableau, Nana and a former lover, Paul (Andr S. Labarthe), are having a sad, disjointed conversation in a caf--are they breaking up? Getting back together? The pain and power of the scene lies in its ambiguousness. And Godard and his brilliant cinematographer, Raoul Coutard, shoot this initial scene, of the most intimate conversation between two lovers, entirely from behind them. The sad, longing remarks, barbs, halfhearted entreaties--they are all communicated while the viewer looks just at the back of Karina's sleek black bob and Labarthe's scruffy hair. Only near the end of that scene, as the viewer is practically craning forward to connect to the characters, do we get a glimpse of half of a cheek, one eyebrow. And from this moment, Godard and the cast have the viewer enthralled. In a later tableau, we watch long, uninterrupted scenes of The Passion of Joan of Arc--in itself a treat--and the supposedly disaffected heroine Nana weeping rivers of tears, silently, in the theater. There are many layers to this lovely young woman, and each of the 12 snapshots of her life reveals more. Nana's life becomes a tragedy, as she descends into prostitution--yet along the way, her luminescence is revealed in small ways. In one scene, she recalls a writing exercise from when she was a child. "Birds are creatures with an outside, and an inside," she recites. "When you remove the outside, you see the inside. When you remove the inside, you see the soul." The shattering beauty of Vivre Sa Vie is that Godard and Karina allow us to see the outside, then the inside, and then finally, the soul. The Criterion Collection edition offers true cinema riches, especially in an interview with Karina from 1962, several modern commentaries putting Godard and the film in its historical context, reportage from early-'60s France on the dire situation of prostitutes at the time, a booklet of film criticism, and much more. --A.T.

Mobil 1 98KE65 Extended Performance 5W-30 Synthetic Motor Oil - 1 Quart

Motor oil is made from crude oil and is used to lubricate, clean, and cool engines. Types of motor oil include conventional, synthetic, diesel, bio-based, hybrid (blends of conventional and synthetic), and recycled oils. Motor oil varies in weight and viscosity, as well as additives that some manufacturers add to the oil during the refining process. A numerical code system created by the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) grades motor oils according to viscosity--the higher the number between 0 and 60, the more viscous (thicker) the oil is. Most consumer motor oils are graded by two numbers, with the first number indicating cold weather (Winter or "W") performance.SAE 5W-30 This oil has a weight of SAE 5W-30, meaning it has an SAE viscosity rating of 5 in cold temperatures and a rating of 30 at normal operating temperature. Always check your vehicle's owner's manual to verify that this is the correct weight of motor oil for your vehicle.Full Synthetic Oil This oil is a full synthetic oil, meaning crude oil is not used in making it. Synthetic oil can be used in vehicle engines instead of motor oils refined from crude oil, and often provides superior mechanical performance over traditional motor oil, including increased gas mileage and reduced engine wear at extreme temperatures. Its complex method of production means it can often cost more than conventional motor oil. Mobil 1 Extended Performance 5W-30is a high endurance synthetic motor oil that is the grade and viscosity that is most recommended by car builders over the last 10 years. This viscosity is recommended for most newer vehicles including General Motors vehicles and many imports. The 5W-30is a good viscosity for a broad range of applications and climates. Mobil 1 Extended Performance 5W-20meets the following industry approvals, ILSAC GF-4, ACEA A1/A5, B1/B5, and API SM. It also meets the requirements for diesel powered vehicles where an API CF or CD oil is recommended. It is designed to provide protection and performance at extended oil change intervals of up to 15,000 miles or 1 year, whichever comes first. It also features extra performance additive that helps to provide outstanding protection during longer oil change intervals. It is made with a proprietary blend of high performance synthetic base stocks fortified with an advanced additive system, designed especially to deliver performance and protection during longer service intervals.

Mobil 1 98KE65 Extended Performance 5W-30 Synthetic Motor Oil - 1 Quart Motor oil is made from crude oil and is used to lubricate, clean, and cool engines. Types of motor oil include conventional, synthetic, diesel, bio-based, hybrid (blends of conventional and synthetic), and recycled oils. Motor oil varies in weight and viscosity, as well as additives that some manufacturers add to the oil during the refining process. A numerical code system created by the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) grades motor oils according to viscosity--the higher the number between 0 and 60, the more viscous (thicker) the oil is. Most consumer motor oils are graded by two numbers, with the first number indicating cold weather (Winter or "W") performance.SAE 5W-30 This oil has a weight of SAE 5W-30, meaning it has an SAE viscosity rating of 5 in cold temperatures and a rating of 30 at normal operating temperature. Always check your vehicle's owner's manual to verify that this is the correct weight of motor oil for your vehicle.Full Synthetic Oil This oil is a full synthetic oil, meaning crude oil is not used in making it. Synthetic oil can be used in vehicle engines instead of motor oils refined from crude oil, and often provides superior mechanical performance over traditional motor oil, including increased gas mileage and reduced engine wear at extreme temperatures. Its complex method of production means it can often cost more than conventional motor oil.

Wusthof Culinar 10-Inch Super Slicer Wavy Serrated Knife

This extra-long slicer packs a great deal of weight and is perfect for the chef with larger hands. The 10-inch blade is also an ideal size for carving larger turkeys, hams, or roasts (or the occasional peasant loaf). Its wavy, serrated edge slices cleanly without tearing meats, delivering slices of uniform thickness. Part of the Culinar series, a recent design addition (1999) to Wsthof's family of cutlery, this contemporary-looking knife has a blade constructed of the perfect balance of high-carbon stainless steel for strength and longer edge retention. The stain-resistant blade is hand-forged and hand-honed and then laser-ground and polished from tip to bolster to ensure precision slicing. This slicer has extraordinary heft, owed to Wsthof's signature weighted bolster. A full tang extends through the knife's sleek 18/10 satin-finish stainless-steel handle and is seamlessly encased so that this slicer appears to be constructed of a single piece of metal. This knife must be washed by hand to preserve its edge and should not be used to cut through harder materials such as bones or pits. --Cristina Vaamonde This is the super slicer, a 10-in. long knife with a serrated edge that's ideal for slicing foot-long sandwiches or artisan-style breads that tend to be larger than most. The serrated blade cracks through hard crusts yet won't tear and pull the softer insides so your slices stay intact for serving. Part of the Wusthof collection, Culinar knives feature the same legendary forged stainless precision blade and balanced design as lines such as Grand Prix. Its unique patented 18/10 stainless handle sets it apart from more traditional Wusthof knives, adding a contemporary elegance to a timeless, functional kitchen tool.

Wusthof Grand Prix 8-Inch Offset Handle Bread/Deli Knife

This smaller bread knife is the perfect size for slicing smaller loaves of wheat, pumpernickel, or sourdough. The offset shape leaves a 1-inch gap between the handle bottom and blade bottom so you can cut all the way through your bread without dashing your knuckles against the cutting board. In addition, this ergonomically shaped knife makes slicing a little easier on the wrists. The wavy serrated edge slices cleanly without tearing moist, fresh-baked breads. Wsthof's Grand Prix knives are formed with the perfect balance of high-carbon no-stain steel so knives retain their edges longer and never become discolored. The blades are ground and polished by computer, ensuring perfect tapering from bolster to tip, and the edges are then hand honed for precision slicing. The tang extends through the slip-free, molded polypropelene handle for excellent balance and heft. This knife is dishwasher-safe, but hand washing is recommended to preserve the blade. --Cristina Vaamonde

Star Wars: Early Learning Activity Center

The people of Naboo are having a grand celebration, and they want you to join them; follow favorite Star Wars characters Anakin Skywalker, Queen Amidala, and Jar-Jar Binks through a host of educational activities in the city of Theed and the underwater kingdom of Otoh Gunga. On land, players may choose between three activities: in Naboo Puppet Theatre, kids select a character to star in a puppet drama and then define a story for the puppet to act out; Gungan Sling Painting challenges players to hurl paint at druids, matching the color of the paint to the surrounding druids; and in Music Droids, participants improvise tunes using a number of different instruments and maps. The undersea component of the game is also divided into three parts: in Otoh Gunga, players can dunk Boss Nass by sorting creatures into color groups, find hidden seashells with Obi-Wan Kenobi, and design a Gungan Deesco Dance for Jar-Jar Binks. While all six activities seem to effortlessly combine educational content and pure fun, Music Droids is especially outstanding. The music maps are designed so carefully that players can skate a mouse over the map surface and come up with a credible-sounding tune; anyone who has tried to create truly musical combinations with an unfamiliar instrument will know that this is no easy task. Kids will delight at the creativity incorporated into this game and the ease of playing it. In spite of a few slow and repetitive sequences, the Star Wars Early Learning Activity Center offers a high replay factor. It builds vocabulary and the understanding of music concepts, logic, and a host of other useful skills without making it seem like a chore. Game instructions are delivered slowly and clearly, with plenty of visual aids; character voices, sound, and graphics are vivid and often amusing. Young fans of the Star Wars films are sure to enjoy and learn from this well-crafted program. (Ages 4 to 6) --Alyx Dellamonica

Murder in the House

Congressman Paul Latham is about to be named secretary of state but dies beneath the Statue of Freedom before he can accept the honor. When his body is found, a 9-mm pistol clutched in his hand (is it suicide or murder?), rumors begin to fly, targeting Latham as no better than Warren Brazier's lackey and threatening the credibility of the administration's foreign policy. Brazier, a wealthy industrialist and potent political force ( la Ross Perot), is conducting questionable business with the Russian government ( la George Soros's evil twin), and nothing will stop him in his quest to snap up formerly state-owned industries at bargain prices--certainly not a trivial consideration such as trade legislation pending in the House Foreign Relations Committee. When Mac Smith is asked to bring his legal expertise to a research mission in Moscow, he finds himself attempting to clear Latham's name--and getting closer and closer to some very dangerous individuals. Margaret Truman is operating according to established parameters in Murder in the House, but fans will appreciate the relative skill with which she weaves together the themes of disturbing relationships on two continents: hard-line Communists with the Russian mafia on one hand, and politics with American big business on the other. Readers may want to check out other entries in the Capital Crimes series--try Murder on Embassy Row, Murder at the National Gallery, or Murder in the CIA. --Kelly Flynn --This text refers to the Mass Market Paperback edition. YA. "Congressman Found Dead on Capitol Hill, Murder Suspected" could be the newspaper headline initially reporting the nasty deed involved in this novel. However, the murder does not occur until well into the plot. Readers have gotten to know Paul Latham and will empathize with his teenage daughter, Molly, who is just starting as a page in the Capitol. It is Mackensie Smith, attorney and friend of Latham, who unravels the secret spheres of influence?political, industrial, and social?that reveal the truth in an exciting climax that involves Molly. The many background details of life and politics in Washington make this novel an entertaining way to reinforce what has been taught in government class. The book also shows many behind-the-scene details and events that otherwise go unnoticed. However, there are many characters, both Russian and American, to keep straight. The involvement of a teenage character makes this an excellent hook for YAs who have not read any of Truman's prior novels. They will also appreciate the humor, the fast pace, and the unintimidating format.?Claudia Moore, W. T. Woodson High School, Fairfax, VACopyright 1997 Reed Business Information, Inc. More murder in Washington, as the roommate of a staffer who has accused the politically correct Senator Latham of sexual misconduct is found dead.Copyright 1997 Reed Business Information, Inc. Readers unlikely to plow through Massachusetts senator John Kerry's analysis of the security threat international criminals pose [The New War, coming in BKL Je 1 & 15 97] will find a similar message in Truman's fourteenth Capitol crimes adventure. When California Democratic congressman Paul Latham, longtime chair of the House International Relations Committee, is nominated as secretary of state, he asks old friend Mackensie Smith to represent him at confirmation hearings, expected to be a mere formality. But one question--the role of major donor Warren Brazier of Brazier Industries, a pioneering investor in the USSR and successor nations, in defining Latham's agenda and framing the legislation he has authored--is quickly overshadowed when a Latham staffer files sexual harassment charges against him. Political games and a media feeding frenzy ensue, escalating exponentially when first the staffer and then Latham are murdered. Greedy, amoral Americans and loony, vicious Russian thugs stir chaos, culminating in a House-floor hostage drama. A sure draw for Truman's many fans. Mary Carroll After her offbeat foray into international art fraud (Murder at the National Gallery, 1996), D.C. doyenne Truman returns to the scene of one of her earliest crimes--Capitol Hill--in this tangled tale of eight-term Congressman Paul Latham, whose nomination as Secretary of State runs into trouble on the night before his confirmation hearings, when he's gunned down in Statuary Hall, the former chamber of the House of Representatives. The Washington gossip mill doesn't buy the killer's first cover story (suicide), but it snaps up the second: a sex scandal based on longtime Latham appointments secretary Marge Edwards's allegations of harassment--allegations that become shriekingly persistent when Marge disappears before she can confirm or deny the story. But the real perps, as law prof Mac Smith's CIA contacts tell him in soliciting his help, are a high-handed millionaire and the ring of improbable Russian da-men he's using as insiders to float trade deals that'll leave him even richer and more powerful, and as enforcers to wipe out anybody who gets in the way. It all boils over when Latham's daughter Molly, a new House page, is taken hostage in her late father's office and frog-marched down to a climax in a ``huge, ornate chamber, 139 feet long and 93 feet wide,'' in a shoot-out that miraculously doesn't manage to wing any of the tour guides that must be lurking only a few yards away. Mac doesn't get off as lightly as the tour guides, which seems unfair, considering that neither he nor his wife Annabel does any detection. Neither does anybody else. -- Copyright 1997, Kirkus Associates, LP. All rights reserved. The never-ending fascination with our nation's capital has made Margaret Truman's novels bestsellers everywhere, including in my territory in Southern California. She always is in the top 15 on the lists. And I'm looking forward to selling her new mass market paperback, MURDER IN THE WATERGATE, which we publish next summer.--Nanci Andersen, Ballantine Sales --This text refers to the Mass Market Paperback edition. Congressman Latham has maintained an impeccable record in Washington, and so he seems the logical choice when nominated by his friend, President Scott, to become the next secretary of state. His confirmation hearings appear to be a formality until rumors emerge of sexual misconduct and influence peddling. Then, early one morning, he is found shot to death, an apparent suicide. Nobody close to Paul Latham believes his demise a suicide; there are just too many questions left unanswered. Why would he kill himself, and why would he do it in a public place? Why was there no suicide note? Where did he get the gun? Where is Latham's appointment secretary, Marge Edwards? So Latham's close friend lawyer-professor Mackensie Smith goes about uncovering the truth. In the process he unearths connections to the CIA, businessman Warren Brazier, Russian communists, and a shady private detective. Eventually Smith's own life is threatened, leading him to a dramatic and shocking truth. Murder in the House is a story about the webs of influence people weave to protect their interests, and about those innocent people who, by accident or design, get caught in these webs. It is the story of the abuse of power for personal gain, and of the increasing influence that the global economy has on the way our nation is being run. Margaret Truman, with her intricate know-ledge of the political, social, and practical workings of Washington, masterfully explores these connections in this highly suspenseful tale of intrigue, deception, and murderous intent. "TRUMAN ABSOLUTELY AMAZES."--The Atlanta Journal & Constitution"Truman 'knows the forks' in the nation's capital and how to pitchfork her readers into a web of murder and detection."--The Christian Science Monitor"This is the 13th in her Capital Crime series, and it's as rich as the others in behind-the-scenes Washington detail."--People --This text refers to the Mass Market Paperback edition. Margaret Truman is the author of over a dozen bestselling novels of life and death around Washington's monuments, institutions, and swirling social circles. She has also written two bestselling biographies: one of her father, the former president, and one of her mother. Her most recent nonfiction success is First Ladies. She lives in New York City with her husband, former New York Times editor Clifton Daniel. When a well-respected Congressman is found murdered just after his official nomination for Secretary of State is announced, his lawyer and confidant, Mackenzie Smith, finds himself submerged in a scandalous and deadly investigation. Philip Bosco's superb performance is a marvelous complement to this intricate, suspenseful mystery. Particularly genuine is his interpretation of members of the murderous Russian Mafia as they infiltrate Washington's inner circle. Bosco lends authenticity and diversity to enigmatic politicians, CIA agents and shady businessmen. As the plot thickens and alibis unravel, Bosco delivers the final outcome with finesse and gusto, never losing momentum. B.J.P.

But one question--the role of major donor Warren Brazier of Brazier Industries, a pioneering investor in the USSR and successor nations, in defining Latham's agenda and framing the legislation he has authored--is quickly overshadowed when a Latham staffer files sexual harassment charges against him. Political games and a media feeding frenzy ensue, escalating exponentially when first the staffer and then Latham are murdered. Greedy, amoral Americans and loony, vicious Russian thugs stir chaos, culminating in a House-floor hostage drama. A sure draw for Truman's many fans. Mary Carroll After her offbeat foray into international art fraud (Murder at the National Gallery, 1996), D.C. doyenne Truman returns to the scene of one of her earliest crimes--Capitol Hill--in this tangled tale of eight-term Congressman Paul Latham, whose nomination as Secretary of State runs into trouble on the night before his confirmation hearings, when he's gunned down in Statuary Hall, the former chamber of the House of Representatives. The Washington gossip mill doesn't buy the killer's first cover story (suicide), but it snaps up the second: a sex scandal based on longtime Latham appointments secretary Marge Edwards's allegations of harassment--allegations that become shriekingly persistent when Marge disappears before she can confirm or deny the story. But the real perps, as law prof Mac Smith's CIA contacts tell him in soliciting his help, are a high-handed millionaire and the ring of improbable Russian da-men he's using as insiders to float trade deals that'll leave him even richer and more powerful, and as enforcers to wipe out anybody who gets in the way. It all boils over when Latham's daughter Molly, a new House page, is taken hostage in her late father's office and frog-marched down to a climax in a ``huge, ornate chamber, 139 feet long and 93 feet wide,'' in a shoot-out that miraculously doesn't manage to wing any of the tour guides that must be lurking only a few yards away. Mac doesn't get off as lightly as the tour guides, which seems unfair, considering that neither he nor his wife Annabel does any detection. Neither does anybody else. -- Copyright 1997, Kirkus Associates, LP. All rights reserved. The never-ending fascination with our nation's capital has made Margaret Truman's novels bestsellers everywhere, including in my territory in Southern California. She always is in the top 15 on the lists. And I'm looking forward to selling her new mass market paperback, MURDER IN THE WATERGATE, which we publish next summer.--Nanci Andersen, Ballantine Sales --This text refers to the Mass Market Paperback edition. Congressman Latham has maintained an impeccable record in Washington, and so he seems the logical choice when nominated by his friend, President Scott, to become the next secretary of state. His confirmation hearings appear to be a formality until rumors emerge of sexual misconduct and influence peddling. Then, early one morning, he is found shot to death, an apparent suicide. Nobody close to Paul Latham believes his demise a suicide; there are just too many questions left unanswered. Why would he kill himself, and why would he do it in a public place? Why was there no suicide note? Where did he get the gun? Where is Latham's appointment secretary, Marge Edwards? So Latham's close friend lawyer-professor Mackensie Smith goes about uncovering the truth. In the process he unearths connections to the CIA, businessman Warren Brazier, Russian communists, and a shady private detective. Eventually Smith's own life is threatened, leading him to a dramatic and shocking truth. Murder in the House is a story about the webs of influence people weave to protect their interests, and about those innocent people who, by accident or design, get caught in these webs. It is the story of the abuse of power for personal gain, and of the increasing influence that the global economy has on the way our nation is being run. Margaret Truman, with her intricate know-ledge of the political, social, and practical workings of Washington, masterfully explores these connections in this highly suspenseful tale of intrigue, deception, and murderous intent. "TRUMAN ABSOLUTELY AMAZES."--The Atlanta Journal & Constitution"Truman 'knows the forks' in the nation's capital and how to pitchfork her readers into a web of murder and detection."--The Christian Science Monitor"This is the 13th in her Capital Crime series, and it's as rich as the others in behind-the-scenes Washington detail."--People --This text refers to the Mass Market Paperback edition. Margaret Truman is the author of over a dozen bestselling novels of life and death around Washington's monuments, institutions, and swirling social circles. She has also written two bestselling biographies: one of her father, the former president, and one of her mother. Her most recent nonfiction success is First Ladies. She lives in New York City with her husband, former New York Times editor Clifton Daniel. When a well-respected Congressman is found murdered just after his official nomination for Secretary of State is announced, his lawyer and confidant, Mackenzie Smith, finds himself submerged in a scandalous and deadly investigation. Philip Bosco's superb performance is a marvelous complement to this intricate, suspenseful mystery. Particularly genuine is his interpretation of members of the murderous Russian Mafia as they infiltrate Washington's inner circle. Bosco lends authenticity and diversity to enigmatic politicians, CIA agents and shady businessmen. As the plot thickens and alibis unravel, Bosco delivers the final outcome with finesse and gusto, never losing momentum. B.J.P.

Struggle for Intimacy

Janet Geringer Woititz, Ed.D., is the founder and President of the Institute for Counseling and Training in West Caldwell, NJ, which specialized in working with dysfunctional families and individuals. --This text refers to the Paperback edition. 1Who Do You Pickfor Your Lover? Why Do You Pick the Lovers That You Do?Everything is going wrong with my relationship. I know that it's all my fault. I try everything I know to fix it, but it doesn't work. I'm not even sure if I love him/her. Maybe I don't know what love is. I'm so confused.'Sound familiar? It should. It is almost verbatim the story I hear when an Adult Child of an Alcoholic enters therapy because an intimate relationship is souring. And the story is the same whether the COA is twenty years old and in a first serious relationship, or forty years old and the veteran of one or more failed marriages.'It just has to be my fault. Relationships always go this way. I thought it would be different this time, but it wasn't. Maybe I'm better off alone.'Have you felt that way? We all haveand we've all said similar self-deprecating things while in the midst of a troubled or troublesome relationship. Is it a 'normal' way to feel? It depends upon whether you are feeling that way because of the current circumstances or whether these are deep-seated messages which have become a permanent part of your self-image because they were hammered at you time and time again while you were growing up. In both cases, the feelings are equally painful, but they are more difficult to erase in the second case.Read those opening statements again: 'Everything is going wrong. I know that it is all my fault. I try to do everything that I know, but it just doesn't work.'Today you are saying those phrases about your relationship. The context may be new for you, but the phrases and the feelings are not. Once again, you are experiencing the helplessness of your childhood and reacting to an 'old tape.' Nonetheless, the feelings are real, and, oh, so powerful.Other familiar feelings also well up, including confusion, the sense of being stuck, of being unable to change your destiny.This is all part of being in an intimate relationship. It will drag out all things, old and new, that you have experienced and felt before. You will play it all out again. With work, the process and outcomes will be different, but the struggle cannot be avoided. Even those who have not been affected by living in an alcoholic family find one must work to have a good and healthy relationship. You have plenty of company in the struggle!To probe a little deeper into the nature of the struggle you are facing, it is important that you recall some of the early inconsistent messages you were given by your parents. Like it or not, want to believe it or not, these messages are still influencing you on an unconscious level throughout all aspects of your life. To change your life, you must change the message.And, awareness is the first step toward changing the message. The knowledge of how your current patterns were formed will begin to release you from the self-critical indictment which is such a basic part of your nature. Let's take a look at these double-bind messages and how they affect you today:'I love you. Go away.'Sometimes your alcoholic parent was warm and loving, sometimes rejecting and hostile. Although your non-alcoholic parent told you that you were loved, he or she was often so absorbed with worry and so irritable that you rarely felt loved. There was no consistency.This is love as you understood it as a child, and are still experiencing it. Ever wonder why you are attracted to that person who is warm and loving one day, and rejecting the next? Ever wonder why the person who says he or she will call and doesn't seems more desirable than the one who is consistent?If, by chance, you do become involved with a lover who is consistent, you find that sort of person very unsettling, because you have no frame of reference for this kind of behavior. I am talking about the type of individual with order in his/her life, the person who can predict with a reasonable amount of certainty what tomorrow will bring. This also is someone who will behave, feel and think tomorrow much as he/she behaved, felt and thought today. The challenge to win the love of the erratic and sometimes rejecting person repeats the challenge of your childhood. You are grateful when the inconsistent person throws you a crumb, but get bored quickly with the one who is available all the time.You are playing out your childhood all over again, because the only consistency you knew was inconsistency. The only predictability you had was the lack of predictability. You lived your childhood on an emotional roller coaster. And that is what you understand. Think a minute: How many times have you created a crisis in your relationship to get the energy flowing again, and bring the relationship back to more familiar ground?Even though this may be obvious to you on an intellectual level, bear in mind that it may take longer for you to truly feel this truth because you were conditioned at such an early age.'You can't do anything right. I need you.'Here is another set of conflicting messages which you play over and over again. When you were a child, you could never meet your alcoholic parent's perfectionistic standards, no matter how hard you tried. You were never good enough. And you truly believed that everything that went wrong was your fault. If you would have been good enough, things would have been better for your family.Yet you knew you were needed, and that they couldn't get along without you. That was perfectly clear also. Since it was impossible for them to get along without you, even though you were so worthless, you would struggle until you could find a way to 'fix' things.As an adult, do you find yourself drawn to partners who are both extremely dependent and highly critical? Are you drawn to those who repeatedly put you down, although you know they can't get along without you? You continue to strive for their approval, because on a deep level you believe that there would not be so much trouble in the relationship if you were only good enough. And you know you can't keep letting down someone who needs you so desperately. Sound familiar? Another setup.'Yes, it's true that your mother/father did/said those terrible things. But you must understand that he/she was drunk.'The implications of this double-bind message are especially destructive to you when you are in an intimate relationship. Your unconscious tells you that if you can find an explanation for inexcusable behavior, you must believe that the behavior is excusable.In the family system affected by alcoholism, the alcoholic is rarely held accountable for his/her behavior. More likely, the child hears from the other parent, 'What did you expect from a drunk?' Or, in early family recovery, 'You have to understand that your father/mother has a disease.' The child hears the message that the parent can do whatever he or she wishes by simply using the excuse of drunkenness or alcoholism.Now that you are an adult, you have become the most understanding person in the world when it comes to your loving relationships. Right? In almost every situation, you will find a way to make everything okaycertainly if someone must be at fault, you will take that fault upon yourself. You have learned how to understand, and you have learned how to take full responsibility upon yourself.Therefore, when you are treated in a lousy way, you analyze the situation and don't allow yourself to experience any angry feelings. Understanding a behavior does not make it automatically acceptable. But you learned to do that very well when you were a child, and denied yourself the pain for maltreatment because you believed that 'My father/mother wouldn't have done that to me if he/she were sober.'This also has elements of control and elements of guilt. Here is the kind of thought pattern that runs through the mind of the child in the alcoholic family system: 'If I feel guilty, then I am responsible. And if I am responsible, then I can do something to fix it, to change it, to make it different.' Giving up your guilt also means giving up your sense that you have control over the situation. And, of course, loss of control is a disaster. You have grown up to be the perfect doormat for an inconsiderate person. Often you end up in a perfect give-and-take relationship . . . you give, they take.'I'll be there for younext time. I give you my word.'The underlying message here isforget it! So you learn how not to want so that you don't get disappointed.Sometimes you unwittingly become the doormat for a partner who truly doesn't want to treat you that way. Often you become tired and resentful. You complain about having to do everything in the relationshipyet it is almost impossible for you to ask for anything for yourself. You want your partner to be a mind reader.Your fear of asking for something and then not getting it is as unsettling as your fear of asking for something and getting it! The first outcome reinforces your belief that you are too unworthy to deserve what you want, and the second possibility is so unfamiliar that you actually don't know how to react. Even a simple compliment may cause you great discomfort.You deal with the whole situation by abdicating responsibility for your happiness. You decide that your partner should know what you want and act on it without ever having been told. For example, 'If I have to tell him I want to go to the theater for my birthday, it proves that he doesn't really want to please me.' Your lover is now set up so that you can decide he doesn't love you if he doesn't pick up whatever vague hints you may have sent his way. You'll only be happy with a mind reader, a fantasy hero who will automatically know how to please you.'Everything is fine, so don't worry. But how in the world can I deal with all this?'Both of these messages come through. 'Don't concern yourselfeverything is going to be okay.' Yet the underlying sense you get from your parents is t... --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

A Pediatrician's Journal: Caring for Children in a Broken Medical System

Orr begins his book with the disclaimer, "I am not a writer." Well, maybe not, but he is a fine storyteller. His account of his medical training; stint as a navy physician at Bethesda Naval Hospital, the Great Lakes Naval Training Center, and finally a tiny island off the Italian coast; and then his volunteer work in the Dominican Republic, Guatemala, and Honduras is lively and moving. Possibly even more than the description of a typical day, the tales he tells of this experience best illustrate his point that the U.S. medical system is broken. Families are bankrupted by medical emergencies, children go without critical medication for lack of insurance coverage, and the best medical care goes to the wealthiest. Doctors are driven to see record numbers of patients or lose income, with the result that individual care is negligible, and expensive testing equipment is housed in digs much finer than his own crowded office. Orr asks why this all should be, and his answers aren't comfortable or easy. Donna ChavezCopyright American Library Association. All rights reserved Mom's Choice Award 2009 Silver Recipient: Family & Parenting --This text refers to the Paperback edition. Dr. Brian G.

A Pediatrician's Journal: Caring for Children in a Broken Medical System Orr begins his book with the disclaimer, "I am not a writer." Well, maybe not, but he is a fine storyteller. His account of his medical training; stint as a navy physician at Bethesda Naval Hospital, the Great Lakes Naval Training Center, and finally a tiny island off the Italian coast; and then his volunteer work in the Dominican Republic, Guatemala, and Honduras is lively and moving. Possibly even more than the description of a typical day, the tales he tells of this experience best illustrate his point that the U.S. medical system is broken. Families are bankrupted by medical emergencies, children go without critical medication for lack of insurance coverage, and the best medical care goes to the wealthiest. Doctors are driven to see record numbers of patients or lose income, with the result that individual care is negligible, and expensive testing equipment is housed in digs much finer than his own crowded office. Orr asks why this all should be, and his answers aren't comfortable or easy. Donna ChavezCopyright American Library Association.

Candy: The Sweet History

A candy saleswoman, developer and consultant, Kimmerle pays homage to the sweets industry in this colorfully designed history. More coffee-table display than serious study, the book emphasizes the artistry of candy packaging and advertisements while providing an overview of all the many confections of "sugar that has been cooked." Candy, Kimmerle reveals, was once a luxury enjoyed mostly by the rich and the royal, an expensive treat that relied upon then-exotic ingredients like cane sugar and cocoa. The modern candy industry took form in the early 19th century, and many favorite American candies have been around for nearly a century. LifeSavers were invented in 1912; Tootsie Rolls date back to 1896. Licorice, taffy, nougat, jelly beans, caramels and marshmallows all make appearances in Kimmerle's book, which is illustrated with images of retro candy ads and novelty packages. But the heart of the book is "Piece By Piece," a long chapter offering brief histories of candy businesses like M Mars, Frank Fleet Gum Company and the Ferrara Pan Company (makers of Lemonheads). A dozen recipes for treats like Candied Grapefruit Peel, Thirty-Minute Caramels and Non Pariels is also provided, but this book will please mostly readers interested in candy design and industry. Copyright 2003 Reed Business Information, Inc. "Candy is with us at very special moments, we have candy at movies, and significant holidays," Kimmerle says. -- NPR All Things Considered w/ Michele Norris, October 31, 2003For those craving an encyclopedic knowledge of all things sugary. -- InStyle Magazine, October 2003Katie Couric and the Today Show gang reminisce about nostalgic candy with author Beth Kimmerle. -- Today Show (NBC) October 30, 2003The book recounts in loving detail the evolution of American candy, including lush four-color reproductions of classic advertisements and packaging. -- The New York Sun, October 22, 203 With 240 never-before-published photographs and images from the largest candy makers.

The Climate Of The Country

In 1943, almost a year after 120,000 Japanese Americans had been rounded up and placed in relocation camps, the United States government asked them to sign a loyalty oath renouncing all allegiance to Japan. Those who refused were once again moved--in some cases separated from their families--and placed in Northern California's Tule Lake Segregation Center. Marnie Mueller was born in Tule Lake, to a teacher and a camp administrator. Now, in The Climate of the Country, she transforms her parents' experiences into a gripping tale of violence, political intrigue, and even erotic love. Mueller's protagonist, Denton Jordan, is a conscientious objector, so conscientious that he neglects his wife and child for his new work in the relocation camp. When one of Denton's protgs, embittered by the loyalty oath, becomes a leader of the camp's militant pro-Japanese faction, tension escalates. After a riot, the army takes control and lays down a set of draconian rules: curfews, passes, and, worst of all, no speaking Japanese. Intrigue surrounds Denton's job, his marriage begins to falter, and he finds himself torn between his heart and his head--only one of many conflicting loyalties animating this complex and lovely book. Struggling to make sense of their place in a country that considers them enemies, the Japanese internees must balance family and country, tradition and modernity. Meanwhile, Denton--married to the daughter of European Jews--learns what his pacifism truly means. In the end, he finds it's not about being courageous ("That was too romantic and nave a way of looking at an ugly, messy, tormenting choice") or, conversely, about being afraid. Instead, his pacifism is "about believing to the bottom of his soul that there was a way, other than committing extreme and cruel acts, to make change in the world." The Climate of the Country is that rare thing, a novel of conscience that brings ideals to life. --Chloe Byrne A rare night's reprieve away from Tule Lake Japanese American Segregation Camp ends alarmingly for pacifist and conscientious objector Denton Jordan and his wife, Esther. They return to camp to find that martial law has been imposed. Forced to sign oaths of loyalty to the United States and to assure enmity toward the Japanese emperor, the camp's Japanese American adults riot out of anger and resentment. Tule Lake, which under Denton's careful guidance was once "a place where imprisoned people made decent lives and a semblance of community for themselves" during the exigencies of WWII, becomes harshly militarized: Japanese is not allowed to be spoken in public, driving is forbidden and a curfew is established. Denton's workaholic neglect of Esther and their three-year-old child threatens the stability of their relationship. Mueller's second novel (after Green Fires) begins awkwardly but soon transforms into an engrossing character study of two highly principled people forced by their patriotism and wartime duress to act against their beliefs?and at the expense of their marriage. Simple, unadorned prose illuminates the starkness of the setting and the ethical and emotional dilemmas faced by the protagonists. (Feb.) FYI: The author, a Barnes & Noble Discover Great New Writers Choice, was herself born in Tule Lake Japanese American Segregation Camp.Copyright 1998 Reed Business Information, Inc. Mueller, whose first novel was the award-winning Green Fires (LJ 3/15/94), bases this follow-up on her family's experiences working at the Tule Lake relocation camp for Japanese Americans during World War II. Mueller portrays the disintegrating marriage of Esther and Denton Jordan within the context of the deteriorating conditions at the camp, focusing on the difficulties of living up to one's own principles while attempting to fulfill the duties of loyalty?whether to relatives, to others of one's ethnic or religious background, or to country. Mueller is to be commended for alerting general audiences to the treatment of Japanese Americans during the war and the obvious racism that motivated their hugely unjust incarceration. But her dialog is stiff, and some scenes seem better suited to a more popular genre. Although Esther Jordan is a central character, her conflicts are left mainly unresolved. Nevertheless, this novel is recommended to public and academic libraries for its forthright treatment of an important topic.?Rebecca A. Stuhr, Grinnell Coll. Libs., IACopyright 1998 Reed Business Information, Inc. Denton Jordan is a pacifist during World War II, and he is sympathetic to the inmates of the Tule Lake Japanese American Segregation Camp, where he works as an administrator. The story is also told from the viewpoint of his Jewish wife, Esther; she loves him, but she is angry at his refusal to fight. Then the simmering violence in the camp erupts, and Denton's Japanese American friend is murdered. Novelist Mueller was born in the Tule Lake Camp, and her story is loosely based on her parents' experiences, but what makes this a riveting novel is not only the strong sense of history and the particulars of the racist internment but also the way the politics is played out in family, work, and erotic love. Denton's pacifism is at the center. He struggles to reconcile his ideals with his personal fury and with his betrayal of his wife and child in a passionate affair. Is he a hypocrite? A coward? You believe in these characters, and you argue with them. Hazel Rochman "This is a compelling novel of sorrow, idealism and loyalty documenting how Japanese Americans were driven from their American homes into American concentration camps and how they struggled honorably to preserve their dignity in the face of insult and exile." --Grace Paley"Novelist Mueller was born in the Tule Lake Camp, and her story is loosely based on her parents' experiences, but what makes this a riveting novel is not only the strong sense of history and the particulars of the racist internment but also the way the politics is played out in family, work, and erotic love." --Booklist Marnie Mueller (born Tule Lake War Relocation Center) is an American novelist.

Tule Lake, which under Denton's careful guidance was once "a place where imprisoned people made decent lives and a semblance of community for themselves" during the exigencies of WWII, becomes harshly militarized: Japanese is not allowed to be spoken in public, driving is forbidden and a curfew is established. Denton's workaholic neglect of Esther and their three-year-old child threatens the stability of their relationship. Mueller's second novel (after Green Fires) begins awkwardly but soon transforms into an engrossing character study of two highly principled people forced by their patriotism and wartime duress to act against their beliefs?and at the expense of their marriage. Simple, unadorned prose illuminates the starkness of the setting and the ethical and emotional dilemmas faced by the protagonists. (Feb.) FYI: The author, a Barnes & Noble Discover Great New Writers Choice, was herself born in Tule Lake Japanese American Segregation Camp.Copyright 1998 Reed Business Information, Inc. Mueller, whose first novel was the award-winning Green Fires (LJ 3/15/94), bases this follow-up on her family's experiences working at the Tule Lake relocation camp for Japanese Americans during World War II. Mueller portrays the disintegrating marriage of Esther and Denton Jordan within the context of the deteriorating conditions at the camp, focusing on the difficulties of living up to one's own principles while attempting to fulfill the duties of loyalty?whether to relatives, to others of one's ethnic or religious background, or to country. Mueller is to be commended for alerting general audiences to the treatment of Japanese Americans during the war and the obvious racism that motivated their hugely unjust incarceration. But her dialog is stiff, and some scenes seem better suited to a more popular genre. Although Esther Jordan is a central character, her conflicts are left mainly unresolved. Nevertheless, this novel is recommended to public and academic libraries for its forthright treatment of an important topic.?Rebecca A. Stuhr, Grinnell Coll. Libs., IACopyright 1998 Reed Business Information, Inc. Denton Jordan is a pacifist during World War II, and he is sympathetic to the inmates of the Tule Lake Japanese American Segregation Camp, where he works as an administrator. The story is also told from the viewpoint of his Jewish wife, Esther; she loves him, but she is angry at his refusal to fight. Then the simmering violence in the camp erupts, and Denton's Japanese American friend is murdered. Novelist Mueller was born in the Tule Lake Camp, and her story is loosely based on her parents' experiences, but what makes this a riveting novel is not only the strong sense of history and the particulars of the racist internment but also the way the politics is played out in family, work, and erotic love. Denton's pacifism is at the center. He struggles to reconcile his ideals with his personal fury and with his betrayal of his wife and child in a passionate affair. Is he a hypocrite? A coward? You believe in these characters, and you argue with them. Hazel Rochman "This is a compelling novel of sorrow, idealism and loyalty documenting how Japanese Americans were driven from their American homes into American concentration camps and how they struggled honorably to preserve their dignity in the face of insult and exile." --Grace Paley"Novelist Mueller was born in the Tule Lake Camp, and her story is loosely based on her parents' experiences, but what makes this a riveting novel is not only the strong sense of history and the particulars of the racist internment but also the way the politics is played out in family, work, and erotic love." --Booklist Marnie Mueller (born Tule Lake War Relocation Center) is an American novelist.
