The Lion, the Fox and the Eagle
|
Carol Off
|
“In Off’s fluid and measured account, Dallaire emerges as a tragic hero, a symbol of the world’s failure to respond to the second genocide of the 20th century….Off’s opposing role models — the impotent man of conscience and the cynical advocate of moral equivalence — offer insights into how we might do better next time the unthinkable happens. And it will.” —<i>Time </i>(Andrew Purvis)<i><br><br></i>“Off is a smooth and powerful writer, delivering a mixture of descriptive passages, contextual background and editorial argument which collectively produce a provocative page-turner….Her concise backgrounder and summary of the horrific genocide in Rwanda in 1994 is the best account I have read." —<i>The Globe and Mail</i> (Scott Taylor)<i><br><br></i>“…the CBC reporter steers by her own conscience and that is to tell the story from the point of view of the powerless.” —<i>Vancouver Sun<br><br></i>“Off deserves praise for painting this appalling picture so vividly.” —<i>The Edmonton Journal<br><br>“The Lion the Fox and the Eagle </i> provides a solid account of the roles three Canadians played on the world stage in two of the bloodiest conflicts at the close of the century.” —<i>The Chronicle-Herald<br><br></i>“It is a powerful book, and Off writes with a meticulous sense for disconcerting details that resonate with ugly truth.” —<i>Calgary Straight<br><br></i>“In her portraits of Dallaire and Mackenzie, Off has written a pair of biographies that bring to mind Suetonius’s lives of Nicias and Alcibiades — the ancient Roman’s portraits of two brilliant but contrary generals, one good, but maligned, the other as famous as he was duplicitous. These are shocking and instructive moral studies of what it can cost a man to be involved…We learn from [this book] that the work of peacekeeping is not derived from some neat and formulaic model that is universally applicable. It cannot be grafted onto a hostile landscape and it requires historical knowledge. It cannot be applied halfheartedly.” —Noah Richler, <i>National Post</i><br><br>“This <i>is </i>an explosive look at what really happened in the failed peacekeeping missions in Sarajevo and Rwanda.” —<i>Ottawa Citizen</i>

“In Off’s fluid and measured account, Dallaire emerges as a tragic hero, a symbol of the world’s failure to respond to the second genocide of the 20th century….Off’s opposing role models — the impotent man of conscience and the cynical advocate of moral equivalence — offer insights into how we might do better next time the unthinkable happens. And it will.” —<i>Time </i>(Andrew Purvis)<i><br><br></i>“Off is a smooth and powerful writer, delivering a mixture of descriptive passages, contextual background and editorial argument which collectively produce a provocative page-turner….Her concise backgrounder and summary of the horrific genocide in Rwanda in 1994 is the best account I have read." —<i>The Globe and Mail</i> (Scott Taylor)<i><br><br></i>“…the CBC reporter steers by her own conscience and that is to tell the story from the point of view of the powerless.” —<i>Vancouver Sun<br><br></i>“Off deserves praise for painting this appalling picture so vividly.” —<i>The Edmonton Journal<br><br>“The Lion the Fox and the Eagle </i> provides a solid account of the roles three Canadians played on the world stage in two of the bloodiest conflicts at the close of the century.” —<i>The Chronicle-Herald<br><br></i>“It is a powerful book, and Off writes with a meticulous sense for disconcerting details that resonate with ugly truth.” —<i>Calgary Straight<br><br></i>“In her portraits of Dallaire and Mackenzie, Off has written a pair of biographies that bring to mind Suetonius’s lives of Nicias and Alcibiades — the ancient Roman’s portraits of two brilliant but contrary generals, one good, but maligned, the other as famous as he was duplicitous. These are shocking and instructive moral studies of what it can cost a man to be involved…We learn from [this book] that the work of peacekeeping is not derived from some neat and formulaic model that is universally applicable. It cannot be grafted onto a hostile landscape and it requires historical knowledge. It cannot be applied halfheartedly.” —Noah Richler, <i>National Post</i><br><br>“This <i>is </i>an explosive look at what really happened in the failed peacekeeping missions in Sarajevo and Rwanda.” —<i>Ottawa Citizen</i>

The Last Sheriff in Texas: A True Tale of Violence and the Vote
|
James P. McCollom
|
<span>"But that's not really what McCollom is trying to do with<i>The Last Sheriff</i>. He's placing the battle over Ennis in a context much broader than relations between Anglos and Hispanics. He's showing how the story of Ennis and Barnhart foreshadows a changing Texas -- the rise of urban areas and the oil industry, as well as the rising mistrust of traditional authority figures. To that extent, he succeeds,with a riveting story of a time when sheriffs could get away with murder."--<i>Dallas Morning News</i></span><i></i><br /><span></span><span></span><br /><br /><i><span>"The Last Sheriff</span></i><span>is a true story, intensely researched, passionately written and dense with meaning, both for its examination of our history and its tacit meditation on what that means today, when police brutality and accountable democracy are ever-present concerns. It's a big story full of visceral details and driven by real-world characters. The writing is rich and fulfilling, packed with detail and Easter eggs of Texas history and culture. Sometimes the tone borders on rhapsodic, but it seldom delves into anything patently reverential. McCollom and his subjects have a niggling awareness that things are rarely simple." - <i>Texas Observer</i></span><br /><br /><span>"'I am hellbent to keep Beeville cleaned up,' he once said, 'so a lady can go up the street day or night.' That's the beginning of a film right there.<span> </span>Until then, we have author James McCollom's new book, which takes a deep dive into Ennis' life and times.. It's a gripping read, historical but with contemporaryresonance."<span> </span>-- <i>Houston Chronicle</i></span><br /><br /><span>"With a cover that's half sepia and half the black-and-blue of storm clouds and bruises, the design of</span><i>The Last Sheriff in Texas</i>echoes McCollom's style, a hybrid of old-timers sitting on the front porch telling tales and true crime. The book is consistently entertaining and a valuable chapter of South Texas history, the patron system of vote fraud (think box thirteen and LBJ), and the nascent struggle for Mexican American civil rights." --<i>Lone Star Literary Life</i><br /><span></span><br /><br /><span>"JamesP McCollom has certainly made everyone notice his return to Beeville. He hascome home and penned a solid book that could be the basis for a movie or TVshow. He writes about Beeville, but it could be any South Texas town with apenchant for all things Texan and a love for the old West. The only differenceis Vail Ennis, the 'Last Sheriff in Texas.'" -- Dr Manuel Flores,</span><i>Texana Reads, Corpus ChristiCaller-Times.</i>

•"I was amazed after reading portions of Smith County
Justice that so many of the events were described exactly as
they happened .... even down to the things that were said ...
even though David Ellsworth was never there when they
happened. I don't know how he does it, but I do know that
this book tells the story of the drug bust just the way it
happened."

•"I know that the people of Smith County still look at me as a
low-life drug dealer who shot Creig Matthews. There's been
many times when I wanted to get on some rooftop and shout
the truth out to them. Now, this book does it for me. Smith
County justice tells the story the way it happened to me. For
those who choose not to believe it, I can only remind them
that next time it could happen to them."

The Loch Ness Monster (Mysterious & Unknown)
|
Stuart A Kallen
|
Alternately described by observers as looking like a frog, elephant, dog, pig, monkey, cow, seal, snail, or some combination thereof, the loathsome worm now known as Nessie was first seen in 565. This nicely produced volume tracks the development of the legend all the way up to the 2007 film The Water Horse. Kallen is particularly good at giving the storiesno matter how outlandishhistorical focus, tracking how the sightings ebb and flow with world affairs. Sidebar boxes labeled Did You Know? and Quote pull out important points and serve as anchors for skimming readers. The illustrations are excellent, combining such well-worn artifacts as the famous black-and-whiteSurgeons Photo of Nessies head with several startling artists renderings of the creature thatsome speculate could be a prehistoric Pleiosaurus. The endnotes used for all quotations, as well as Kallens healthy dollop of skepticism, make thisthe entry in theMysterious & Unknown series an excellent starting point for school research. Grades 3-6. --Daniel Kraus

On the highway between
Ocho Rios and Montego Bay,
Jamaica, the humble barbecue
stand advertises the name of
"Texan's Cool Spot." It was
here that the Jamaican
Government agent,
Barrington Shand (right)
claimed that Kallen Monigold
had settled and hidden from
the dangers that lurked
behind him in Smith County.
Whether true or not, such
tales keep alive the
mystery of Kallen
Monigold's fate.
Patricia Donahlik was Kallen Monigold's girl and the
object of Paul Woodward's jealousy and anger. In
Austin, Texas, Woodward shot the young beauty to
death and thus became a prime suspect in the
mysterious disappearance of Monigold.

The March to the Marne French Army
|
Porch
|
Dr Porch's book challenges many standard assumptions about the place of the army in French political life between 1871 and 1914. He examines the impact of the Dreyfus affair on the crucial tactical and armaments debates of the immediate pre-war years, leading to the army's near disastrous failure in the Great War.

A Dragon at World's End by
Christopher Rowley
Prologue
It was a wet day, and cold due to an incessant wind off the sound. The
crowd was heavy, all the way up Tower Street, despite the rain. Folk from
all the provinces had come to stand there. Aubinan grain farmers,
fishermen from Seant, and sheepmen from Blue Stone, they were all cheek
by jowl with the natives of the white city under a mass of dark gray
umbrellas, come to welcome the army home.
In fact, the Legion had landed two weeks before, but this was the
official welcome and march of remembrance, to consecrate the memorial
to the dead that was to be built on Tower Hill. It was an opportunity for
the common people of Marneri to show their support for the men and
dragons that had been sent so far—halfway around the world, in fact—and
asked to risk their lives for the greater good of all mankind.

Dragons of Argonath by
Christopher Rowley
Chapter One
It was the custom in the vale of Valmes for the farmers to harrow their
fields in the spring, after the plow and before they planted. They used
teams of two or four horses to pull the great steel-toothed harrows,
combing the ground and smoothing it out ready for the seed.
When seen from a distance, or even while passing along the lane,
harrowing seems a perfectly tranquil part of farming life—a scene for a
pastoral painting, a poem to the glories of the annual round. But for the
small inhabitants of the fields, the harrow is the most dreaded event of all,
for there is no escape from its fifteen-foot-wide comb of steel points,
dragging through the topsoil. For mice and voles this is bad enough, but
these little fellows are swift-footed and might yet escape. For toads,
slow-hopping, crawling toads, it is certain death.

The New Adventures
The Dying Days
Written by Lance Parkin
6 May 1997: The Dying Days of the Twentieth Century
On the Mare Sirenum, British astronauts are walking on the surface of Mars for the first time in over twenty years.
The National Space Museum in London is the venue for a spectacular event where the great and the good
celebrate a unique British achievement.
In Adisham, Kent, the most dangerous man in Britain has escaped from custody while being transported by
helicopter. In Whitehall, the new Home Secretary is convinced that there is a plot brewing to overthrow the
government. In west London, MI5 agents shut down a publishing company that got too close to the top secret
organisation known as UNIT. And, on a state visit to Washington, the Prime Minster prepares to make a crucial
speech, totally unaware that dark forces are working against him.
As the eighth Doctor and Professor Bernice Summerfield discover, all these events are connected. However, soon
all will be overshadowed.

Welcome to the Selonart Trans-Global Regatta – The ultimate sporting event in
the universe!
The Doctor is in trouble. He has his own race to win. Stuck in a parallel
dimension, pursuing the mysterious Sabbath, he must unravel a complex
plot in which he himself may be a pawn.
Following the only lead, the TARDIS arrives on Selonart – a planet famed
for the unique, friction-nullifying light water that covers its surface. A water
that propels vast, technological yachts across its waves at inconceivable
speeds. All in all, an indulgent, boastful demonstration of power by Earth’s
ruthless multi-stellar corporations.
Is Sabbath’s goal to win the race? Who is Bloom, the enigmatic Selonart
native?
As the danger escalates, the Doctor realises he is being manoeuvred into
engineering his own downfall. Is it already too late for him?
This is another in the series of original adventures for the Eighth Doctor.

Joseph Cornell's Theater of the Mind: Selected Diaries, Letters, and Files
|
Joseph Cornell
|
Joseph Cornell seems the perfect 20th-century artist as enigma: he led a frugal life in a small house in Queens, New York, crafting boxes with allusions to 19th-century opera and ballet using scraps of photographs, tiny objects, and found materials in framed combinations that place him among the best of modern artists. Caws has carefully selected about 1/30th of Cornell's diary entries; included many of his letters, which read like poems; added bits and pieces of file materials; and given us a view of the artist's quiet, cautious, and mysterious world in his own words.

Joseph Cornell's Theater of the Mind: Selected Diaries, Letters, and Files
|
Joseph Cornell
|
Joseph Cornell seems the perfect 20th-century artist as enigma: he led a frugal life in a small house in Queens, New York, crafting boxes with allusions to 19th-century opera and ballet using scraps of photographs, tiny objects, and found materials in framed combinations that place him among the best of modern artists. Caws has carefully selected about 1/30th of Cornell's diary entries; included many of his letters, which read like poems; added bits and pieces of file materials; and given us a view of the artist's quiet, cautious, and mysterious world in his own words. Caws's introduction and occasional sidebars explaining the context and timing of Cornell's writings are welcome contributions for the reader. Lovingly designed, and as understated as the artist , the book has only one flaw: its limited use of visuals, which might have served to connect the subtle beauty of his art and the ethereal tone of his writings.

Nostradamus and the Millennium: What May Be Coming
|
Perry Kane
|
As a Lieutenant Colonel in the United States Air Force (Retired), and former Special Agent in counter-intelligence, I've always been intrigued by Nostradamus' gift for predicting future events, some of which I experienced. Perry Kane's ability to place Nostradamus' predictions of the future beyond 2000 in chronological sequence, takes Nostradamus interpretation to another level entirely! I've read many books on Nostradamus over the years, but Kane's is a must for serious Nostradamus scholars. -- <i>Richard Earl Hansen. Author of "Space-Shuttle Mayday!" "Little Horses of the Devil," and "El Manto." December 1999</i>

Kane fell into Infinity
It wasn't exactly a fall—more as if he had tripped and soared headlons down a black
staircase stretching to the very edge of eternity.
Before him a coiling nebula glowed with a pure, blinding radiance. With eyes that should not
have been able to see, ears that should not have heard, he saw the light take form and
speak with a voice that vibrated to the core of his soul.
The light was a woman, sculpted from wheeling constellations, her eyes a pair of blazing
stars. He could see her clearly and she was too beautiful to bear, but he couldn't tear his
eyes away.
The language she spoke was new, yet not new...sounds from out of his desperate dreams.
"You have not changed overmuch, Cuchulainn, my darling Ka'in."
She reached out a hand for him and whispered sadly, "Time is a river that twists on itself.
Past, present and future are its waters. The fluid of time is life. When life, the spirit, ceases
to exist, time becomes meaningless. I am overjoyed your spirit lives...

"Oh, no," Brigid breathed
Kane and the others weren't certain of the cause of Brisid's asitation, but she telegraphed it
to them by her tense posture.
Bel-Tier's image dissolved into a glittering swarm of pixels which leaped across the room
and resolved into Tara. In a clear voice, she announced, "Implementing maximum defense
measure Z for Zulu, D for Doomstar. Activation code zero-zero-doomstar-zero."
Tara extended her arms outward from her body, keeping her palms flat and perpendicular
with the floor, forming a T. She arched her back, thrust out her firm breasts, and a
diamond-shaped slit opened between them. A swirling splash of multicolored light spilled
out.
Calmly she said, "Doomstar program now on-line."

Who Let the Dogs In?: Incredible Political Animals I Have Known

Molly Ivins

Praise for <b>Bushwhacked</b>:<b><br /></b><br />Dubose and the razor-tongued Ivins have done their homework, offering a well-researched, comprehensive examination of the dark side of the Bush administrations agenda, served up with enough saucy language and humor to make it an entertaining read.<br /><i>Rocky Mountain News</i><br /><br /><b>Bushwhacked </b>is primarily an indictment of a radical Republican regime. But it is also a celebration of average citizens and nameless, shirt-sleeve, not-very-well-paid functionaries who have taken it upon themselves to blow whistles . . . , file lawsuits . . . , and otherwise fight back.<br /><i>Mother Jones</i><br /><br />Striking . . . Just as the Gilded Age brought forth a golden age of muckraking, our modern descent into money politics has brought forth a new wave of outraged reporters. Ivins and Dubose are worthy heirs of an honorable tradition.<br /><i>The New York Review of Books</i><br /><br /><br /><i>From the Hardcover edition.</i>

Sky Dog turned, his face locked in a grim mask
"Runnins Bird and three others rode all nisht to get here. They were hunting when they came
across a large party of wasicun about sixty miles north-westward."
"Roamers?" Kane inquired. Sky Dog shook his head, black tresses flying. "Not unless
Roamers have traded in horses for Sandcats and their rags for black armor."
A cold fist seemed to punch deep into Kane's belly, from the inside out. He was barely
aware of saying, "Mags."
Sky Dog nodded gravely, fear glinting in his
jet-black eyes. "If they're on their way to the
Darks—"
"I think that's a safe bet," broke in Grant.
"—they'll pass right by our settlement. And if they started rolling at sunrise..." Sky Dog's
words trailed off as he tilted his head back to consult the position of the sun.

TO THE GUIDE Some unhelpful remarks from the author The history ofThe
Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is now so complicated that every time I tell
it I contradict myself, and whenever I do get it right I'm misquoted. So the
publication of this omnibus edition seemed like a good opportunity to set the
record straight-or at least firmly crooked. Anything that is put down wrong
here is, as far as I'm concerned, wrong for good. The idea for the title first
cropped up while I was lying drunk in a field in Innsbruck, Austria, in 1971.

The Lobster Kings: A Novel
|
Alexi Zentner
|
The talented author of the mystical Touch (2011) returns with a much more commercial novel about fishing wars on the fictional Loosewood Island. The Kings family has been fishing lobster for 300 years and is descended from a famous painter who, family legend has it, was married to a mermaid. Now, however, their waters are being invaded by the rough men who work at an overfished neighboring harbor and who dabble in delivering boatloads of meth. Cordelia, the eldest of the three daughters, loves the work and is the obvious heir to her aging fathers business, but her favored place has come at the expense of sibling rivalry. Shes in love with her married sternman and is determined to preserve her way of life, even if it means confronting the men who are cutting her familys traps. Zentner spends a good deal of time setting up the family mythology and echoing Shakespeares King Lear, but when the fishing wars heat up, so does the plot. With its strong female lead and its evocative setting, this could well be Zentners breakout book. --Joanne Wilkinson

Young Zaphod Plays It Safe Douglas Adams Young Zaphod Plays It Safe A Short
Story By Douglas Adams A large flying craft moved swiftly across the surface
of an astoundingly beautiful sea. From mid-morning onwards it plied back and
forth in great widening arcs, and at last attracted the attention of the local
islanders, a peaceful, sea-food loving people who gathered on the beach and
squinted up into the blinding sun, trying to see what was there. Any
sophisticated knowledgeable person, who had knocked about, seen a few things,
would probably have remarked on how much the craft looked like a filing
cabinet - a large and recently burgled filing cabinet lying on its back with
its drawers in the air and flying. The islanders, whose experience was of a
different kind, were instead struck by how little it looked like a lobster.
They chattered excitedly about its total lack of claws, its stiff unbendy
back, and the fact that it seemed to experience the greatest difficulty

Marcy Kennedy
|

It helps us see life in this world in a new way and gives us a safe place to explore problems that might otherwise be too difficult to face. Alongside her own writing, Marcy works as a freelance editor and teaches classes on craft and social media through WANA International. She's also a proud Canadian, the proud wife of a former U.S. Marine, owns five cats and a dog who weighs as much as she does, and plays board games and the flute (not at the same time). Sadly, she's also addicted to coffee and jelly beans. You can find her blogging about writing and about the place where real life meets science fiction, fantasy, and myth on her website.

[pg/etext94/emma10.txt] Emma, by Jane Austen August, 1994 [Etext #158] This
text is in the PUBLIC DOMAIN. VOLUME I CHAPTER I Emma Woodhouse, handsome,
clever, and rich, with a comfortable home and happy disposition, seemed to
unite some of the best blessings of existence; and had lived nearly twenty-one
years in the world with very little to distress or vex her. She was the
youngest of the two daughters of a most affectionate, indulgent father; and
had, in consequence of her sister's marriage, been mistress of his house from
a very early period. Her mother had died too long ago for her to have more
than an indistinct remembrance of her caresses; and her place had been
supplied by an excellent woman as governess, who had fallen little short of a
mother in affection. Sixteen years had Miss Taylor been in Mr. Woodhouse's
family, less as a governess than a friend, very fond of both daughters, but
particularly of Emma. Between them it was more the intimacy of sisters. Even

Tree of Enchantment: Ancient Wisdom and Magic Practices of the Faery Tradition
|
Orion Foxwood
|
"<i>The Tree of Enchantment</i> is an important and profound work written by one of the most significant authors of this genre today. This book offers insights and techniques that can come only from deep levels of direct experience and the wisdom that results from personal effort. I highly recommend The Tree of Enchantment" -Raven Grimassi<br /><br />"In <i>The Tree of Enchantment</i>, my dear friend Lord Orion Foxwood offers a brilliant and inspiring synthesis of the most universal premises underlying the world-views of magickal cultures throughout the world--especially those associated with the realms that in Western tradition are called "Faery." The seed of these precepts is the metaphor of the Tree, with its three components: branches reaching into the World Above; roots delving into the World Below, and the trunk connecting these in the Middle World. Through engaging parables, charts, images and poetry, Lord Foxwood expands and applies this metaphor to all aspects of creation--revealing our own human origins, place, and destiny therein." -Oberon Zell-Ravenheart, author of <i>Grimoire for the Apprentice Wizard</i><br /><br />"Orion Foxwood is a seer whose message--our human soul and the soul of the Earth are as one--is much needed in these times of change and possibility." --T. Thorn Coyle, teacher and author of <i>Evolutionary Witchcraft</i> and <i>Kissing the Limitless</i><br /><br />"Orion Foxwood sees discontent as the prod that sets you on the quest for your divine heritage and purpose. In <i>The Tree of Enchantment</i>, Foxwood offers well-seasoned visualizations and exercises that will open gateways connecting your human self to Nature and to the three dimensions of reality. I recommend this book as a valuable guide to aligning yourself with the Tree in the three realms and, thus, to awakening the creative self that helps you fulfill your spiritual destiny." -Mary K. Greer, author of <i>21 Ways to Read a Tarot Card</i><br /><br />"<i>TheTree of Enchantment</i> is a rare and beautiful piece of esoteric writing that is fresh, vibrant, and ready for this age and those to come. It is a true guide for helping mend the rifts and fractures within the self and between the planes of being." -Ivo Dominguez, Jr., author of <i>Spirit Speak, Castings: The Creation of Sacred Space</i>, and <i>Beneath The Skins</i><br /><br />"A truly enchanting gateway into a authentic spiritual tradition guided by the spirits, with roots deep in the Earth and a true understanding of the stars. I always learn a great deal from Orion writings and workshops and highly recommend them." -Christopher Penczak, author of <i>The Temple of Shamanic Witchcraft</i> and <i>Ascension Magick</i><br /><br />"Orion is smart, savvy, funny, and down to earth with great wisdom <br><br>about Witchcraft and Paganism." -Margot Adler, author of <i>Drawing Down the Moon</i><br /><br />"The well-being of both humanity and our world requires that we come closer in spirit and love to the earth. The magical and healing power of our incarnations arise not only from transcendental levels but from our roots in the earth, in our lineages, and in our ancestors. Orion's book provides apowerful path into these roots and then outto the flowering of an eco-spirituality and an eco-magic that cannot help but bring blessings to our planet." -David Spangler, author of <i>Blessing: The Art and the Practice</i><br /><br />"I say this with the deepest conviction and without a tinge of hyperbole; Orion Foxwood is a national treasure. His <i>Tree of Enchantment</i> is a brilliant and elegant jewel of modern magical literature and a testament to his genius and insight." -Lon Milo DuQuette, author of <i>Enochian Vision Magick</i><br /><br />"In this fascinating and educational work, Orion Foxwood provides a comprehensive course of study that puts new focus on ancient Faery traditions. The book leads the seeker from the seed of The Tree of Enchantment (that seed is universal divine discontent) to the culmination of truth and satisfaction found within each and every one of us. The journey is a true delight, giving new dimensions to ancient traditions. As Orion says: "The Tree provides a clear understanding of humanity's soul experiences in relationship to the soul of the world." Read it; learn; enjoy!" -Raymond Buckland, author of <i>Buckland's Book of Saxon Witchcraft</i>, and <i>The Weiser Field Guide to Ghosts</i>

grew along the edge of the shallow reach of water. The larger of the two was chopping steadily at
the base of a young blue pine. He wore only ragged trousers belted with a length of frayed rope
and was quite hairless, with flabby, pinkish-gray skin and an ugly, vacant face as round as a
cheese. The head of his axe had been blackened by fire; its handle was a length of stout pine
branch shucked of its bark and held in the socket of the axe head with a ring of carefully whittled
wedges. His companion was unhandily trimming branches from a pine bole, using an ivory-

Bernard Cornwell - 1815 06 Sharpe's Waterloo Sharpe's Waterloo: Richard Sharpe
and the Waterloo Campaign 15 June to 18 June 1815 Sharpe's Waterloo is for
Judy, with all my love. CHAPTER 1 It was dawn on the northern frontier of
France; a border marked only by a shallow stream which ran between the stunted
trunks of pollarded willows. A paved high road forded the stream. The road led
north from France into the Dutch province of Belgium, but there was neither
guardpost nor gate to show where the road left the French Empire to enter the
Kingdom of the Netherlands. There was just the summer-shrunken stream from
which a pale mist drifted to lie in shadowy skeins across the plump fields of
wheat and rye and barley. The rising sun appeared like a swollen red ball
suspended low in the tenuous mist. The sky was still dark in the west. An owl
flew over the ford, banked into a beechwood and gave a last hollow call, which
was lost in the dawn's loud chorus that seemed to presage a bright hot
summe

Kirsch's Handbook of Publishing Law: For Authors, Publishers, Editors and Agents
|
Jonathan Kirsch
|
Kirsch, a prominent intellectual property attorney and Los Angeles Times columnist, has created a clear, comprehensive, up-to-date guide to publishing law in this handbook, which follows the path of a publishing project. From protection of the original idea, coauthorship, agents, and packaging, through a clause-by-clause consideration of a typical book publishing contract, to legal aspects of manuscript preparation, copyright registration, electronic and subsidiary rights, remaindering, and reversion, this manual is as lively as it is useful. Sidebars provide anecdotes, tips, publishing "war stories," and interesting illustrations of key points. Reference librarians will find it answers many tough questions by demystifying complex legal concepts and presenting illustrative examples. Rounding out the volume is a sampling of legal forms the industry currently uses and a fine index. Highly recommended for public and academic libraries.?Paul D'Alessandro, Portland P.L., Me.<br />Copyright 1995 Reed Business Information, Inc.

The Door to December Dean Koontz PART ONE THE GRAY ROOM WEDNESDAY 2:50 A.M. -
8:00 A.M. 1 As soon as she finished dressing, Laura went to the front door and
was just in time to see the Los Angeles Police Department squad car pull to
the curb in front of the house. She stepped outside, slammed the door behind
her, and hurried down the walk. Hard spikes of cold rain nailed the night to
the city. She hadn't bothered with an umbrella. She couldn't remember which
closet she'd stuck it in, and she didn't want to waste time searching for it.
Thunder rolled across the dark sky, but she hardly noticed those ominous
peals. To her, the pounding of her own heart was the loudest noise in the
night. The driver's door of the black-and-white opened, and a uniformed
officer got out. He saw her coming, got back in, reached across the seat, and
opened the front door on the passenger side. She sat next to him, pulled the
door shut. With one cold and tremulous hand, she pushed a damp strand of hair

Lucretia Stanhope
|
LUCRETIA STANHOPE is the author of a lot of things, about a lot of things, hopefully fascinating to read things. She lives in a small town in Kansas. Its the kind of town you are afraid to be stranded in after dark, in case the creepy locals are actually vampires or satanic corn deity worshipers. Yes, there are cornfields all around the town. Seriously, that part is true. There is also a not so used rail station, really! And tons of creepy empty brick buildings, which would be moody fodder, if she would leave the house. Her hobbies include making creative excuses not to leave the house, ever, not even to shop. That is what the internet and mail service is for. She also likes to crochet, and by likes, I mean she has a room devoted solely to yarn, and a bum shoulder that is referred to as her crochet injury of 2014. Occasionally, pulling her from writing, or talking to her imaginary friends, its all the same, are four rescue mutts, and a very fat gray cat that thinks he is a dog. Hes big enough to be a dog but more demanding, and he meows more than the other dogs. Her husband has figured out it is best to just let her write, which is why they are still married, and he hasnt been offered to corn deities or the creepy neighbors.

Aldous Huxley's Hands: His Quest for Perception and the Origin and Return of Psychedelic Science
|
Allene Symons
|
Allene Symons has written an intriguing combination of an Aldous Huxley biography, a smart daughters memoir of her father, and scienceranging from schizophrenia to paranormal consciousness to psychedelics. Several years ago, while going through boxes in her familys garage, she found over one thousand photographs of hands, including Aldous Huxleys, that her father had taken over a two-decade period. What was her aircraft-engineer father trying to discover and how did he cross paths with Huxley? The answers are fascinating and sometimes mind-bending. . . . Its an absorbing and beguiling read.<br /><br />LISA SEE, author of <i>China Dolls</i>, <i>Snow Flower and the Secret Fan</i>, and <i>On Gold Mountain</i><br /><br /><br />What can be said about the work of Aldous Huxley that hasnt already been told? Quite a bit, it turns out. In this compelling narrative, Allene Symons uncovers a cache of letters between Huxley and the man who turned him on to psychedelic drugs, using those documents to spin a delightful tale of two men exploring the thin line between mysticism and madness. Symons deftly blends the legwork of a journalist with the passion of a daughter fascinated by her own fathers unlikely foray into Huxleys inner circle.<br /><br /><i> </i>DON LATTIN, author of<i> The Harvard Psychedelic Club </i>and <i>Distilled Spirits</i><br /><br /><br />The psychedelic Sixties didnt begin in the 1960s. That much is certain after reading <i>Aldous Huxleys Hands</i>. Allene Symons, an engaging writer and reporter, discovered in 2001 that in the 1950s her father, a photographer, was friends with the writer, philosopher, poet, and satirist whose experiments with hallucinogens opened <i>The Doors of Perception</i>. Symonss own explorations led to new revelations and insights about Huxley, as well as about her father. Both were ahead of their time, and their work resonates with the world todayand, of course, tomorrow.<br /><br /> BEN FONG-TORRES, former senior editor, <i>Rolling Stone; </i>columnist,<i> San Francisco Chronicle; </i>and an Emmy Awardwinning broadcaster

ALDOUS HUXLEY
THE DOORS
OF
PERCEPTION
2
It was in 1886 that the German pharmacologist, Louis Lewin, published the first systematic study of
the cactus, to which his own name was subsequently given. Anhalonium lewinii was new to science.
To primitive religion and the Indians of Mexico and the American Southwest it was a friend of
immemorially long standing. Indeed, it was much more than a friend. In the words of one of the early
Spanish visitors to the New World, "they eat a root which they call peyote, and which they venerate as
though it were a deity."
Why they should have venerated it as a deity became apparent when such eminent psychologists as
Jaensch, Havelock Ellis and Weir Mitchell began their experiments with mescalin, the active principle of
peyote. True, they stopped short at a point well this side of idolatry; but all concurred in assigning to
mescalin a position among drugs of unique distinction. Administered in suitable doses, it changes the
quality of consciousness more

Space and Astronomy Experiments (Facts on File Science Experiments)
|
Pamela Walker
|
Gr 9 UpThis series title briefly describes 20 experiments that could be done in astronomy or science classes. Each chapter opens with the concepts covered, the time needed, the materials required, and a numbered list of steps and includes one or two demonstrations that could be performed in approximately 45 to 60 minutes. For some of the more complicated activities (building a cross-staff, simple telescope, or spectroscope, for example), the directions suffer from insufficient illustration to clarify the text. Additionally, sometimes the illustrations are separated by more than one page from the directions describing them, so the experimenter must do a lot of page-flipping in order to follow them. What the book really lacks, however, is the sense of enthusiasm or excitement that these experiments could generate. It contains safety instructions and back matter that includes a glossary, periodic table, brief answers to study questions, and lists of websites for further research.<i>Denise Schmidt, San Francisco Public Library, CA</i><br /> Copyright 2010.

The Dosadi Experiment
Frank Herbert
1969
In memory of Babe because she knew how to enjoy life.
When the Calebans first sent us one of their giant metal "beachballs,"
communicating through this device to offer the use of jumpdoors for
interstellar travel, many in the ConSentiency covertly began to exploit this
gift of the stars for their own questionable purposes. Both the "Shadow
Government" and some among the Gowachin people saw what is obvious today: that
instantaneous travel across unlimited space involved powers which might
isolate subject populations in gross numbers.
This observation at the beginning of the Dosadi Experiment came long before
Saboteur Extraordinary Jorj X. McKie discovered that visible stars of our
universe were either Calebans or the manifestations of Calebans in ConSentient
space. (See Whipping Star, an account of McKie's discovery thinly disguised as
fiction.)
What remains pertinent here is that McKie, acting for his Bureau of Sabotage,

Fantastic Voyage II: Destination Brain
|
Isaac Asimov
|
Twenty-one years ago when the movie Fantastic Voyage was released, Asimov was hired to do the novelization. The book was successful but, to Asimov, not satisfying, for "I never felt it to be entirely mine." Now he has rewritten it his way, and it's good. The story concerns Albert Jonas Morrison, a 21st century neurophysicist, and otherwise an ordinary and unheroic man, who is kidnapped and taken to the Soviet Union. A major Soviet scientist, Pyotr Shapirov, is in an irreversible coma, and Morrison's special expertise could be of value. The Soviets believe that Morrison may be able to apply his controversial theories to retrieve vagrant thoughts that still may be floating in Shapirov's damaged brain and so provide clues to important work in which Shapirov was engaged. Morrison goes cold with fear because the plan calls for him to be miniaturizedalong with four Soviet scientiststo sub-molecular size, introducing them into Shapirov's body and, ultimately, into his brain. The snappish relationships between the scientists is wryly depicted, and the mission itself makes fascinating reading as both an actionadventure and an intellectually stimulating premise.

Dezhnev Senior 1\. "Pardon me. Do you speak Russian?" said the low voice,
definitely contralto, in his ear. Albert Jonas Morrison stiffened in his seat.
The room was darkened and the computer screen on the platform was displaying
its graphics with an insistence that had been lost on him. He must have been
more than half-asleep. There had definitely been a man on his right when he
sat down. When had that man changed into a woman? Or risen and been replaced?
Morrison cleared his throat and said, "Did you say something, ma'am?" He
couldn't make her out clearly in the dim room and the flashing light from the

THE FEELING OF POWER by Isaac Asimov JEHAN SHUMAN was used to dealing with the
men in authori- ty on long-embattled Earth. He was only a civilian but he
originated programming patterns that resulted in self-direct- ing war
computers of the highest sort. Generals consequent- ly listened to him. Heads
of congressional committees, too. There was one of each in the special lounge
of New Pentagon. General Weider was space-burnt and had a small mouth puckered
almost into a cipher. Congressman Brant was smooth-cheeked and clear-eyed. He
smoked Denebian tobacco with the air of one whose patriotism was so no-
torious, he could be allowed such liberties. Shuman, tall, distinguished, and
Programmer-first-class, faced them fearlessly. He said, "This, gentlemen, is
Myron Aub." "The one with the unusual gift that you discovered quite by
accident," said Congressman Brant placidly. "Ah." He inspected the little man
with the egg-bald head with amia- ble curiosity. The little man, in return,
