Thinking in Complexity: The Computational Dynamics of Matter, Mind, and Mankind

Chaos is cropping up everywhere these days. As it becomes ever more apparent that Newtonian mechanics is inadequate for modeling nonlinear systems, or systems that have too many degrees of freedom to handle easily, researchers in all fields are turning toward nonlinear dynamics as a refreshing alternative. This is a paradigm shift la Kuhn, and Klaus Mainzer guides us through it with an astounding range of historical and scientific knowledge. From quantum physics to consciousness to economics, Mainzer shows us how thinking complexly can solve problems over which standard, linear thinking continually stumbles. Instead of simplifying, however, Mainzer revels in the complexity of complexity, so the reader should be prepared for advanced concepts in such varied fields as mathematics, physics, and economics. Difficult, but worthwhile reading. The theory of nonlinear, complex systems has become by now a proven problem-solving approach in the natural sciences. And it is now also recognized that many if not most of our social, ecological, economical and political problems are essentially of a global, complex and nonlinear nature. And it is now further accepted than any holistic perspective of the human mind and brain can hardly be achieved by any other approach. In this wide-ranging, scholarly but very concise treatment, physicist, computer scientist and philosopher Klaus Mainzer discusses, in essentially nontechnical language, the common framework behind these ideas and challenges. Emphasis is given to the evolution of new structures in natural and cultural systems and we are lead to see clearly how the new integrative approach can give insights not available from traditional reductionistic methods. The fifth edition enlarges and revises almost all sections and supplements an entirely new chapter on the complexity of economic systems. From the reviews of the fourth edition: "This book is ambitious, incredibly erudite with 22 pages of references, and is indisputably clearly and beautifully written and illustrated. It is perfectly suited to a first course on the science of complexity. Even beginners and young graduate students will have something to learn from this book." (Andre Hautot, Physicalia, Vol. 57 (3), 2005) "All-in-all, this highly recommended book is a wonderful resource for intuitive basic ideas in the need of rigorous formulation." (Albert A. Mullin, Zentralblatt MATH, vol. 1046, 2004) "Readers of this book will enjoy Mainzer's exposition, which is based on a tight coupling between classical and historical concepts from Plato and Aristotle to modern, mathematical and physical developments . Every chapter begins with a section designed to orient the reader to the perspective of philosophical developments through the ages pertinent to the topic at hand. The author takes pains to point out essential differences between classical science and the science of complexity.Thinking in Complexity is an outstandingly readable book." (Anutosh Moitra, The Industrial Physicist, August/September, 2004) --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.

Howling V - The Rebirth [VHS] (1989)

This 1989 Howling entry gives horror and mystery clichs a stimulating twist. A mysterious Hungarian count invites nine celebrities and celebrities-in-training to attend the reopening of a Budapest castle after 500 years. What the group does not know is that the castle was sealed after a clan of werewolves committed suicide to prevent their familial evil from infecting the world. However, a baby survived, and the implication is that someone among the assembled is a lycanthropic descendant of that child. What follows is a murder mystery in which each member of the group is picked off one by one by the werewolf. Despite his blatantly low budget, and a slightly awkward opening sequence, director Neal Sundstrom does a good job translating Clive Turner and Freddie Rowe's decent screenplay. The real-life castle location is a fantastic character unto itself, and the cast breathe life into their roles and overcome some pedestrian dialogue to make them genuinely likeable (or in a few cases, at least charmingly disagreeable). It may not be at the same level as the original Howling or An American Werewolf in London, but Howling V is fun and provides a genuinely surprising ending. --Bryan Reesman

North Country

A delightful introduction to a marvelous group. Cookie Rankin sings the melancholy alto lead on the separation ballad, Borders and Time; Raylene lends her high soprano to the pastoral paean, Gillis Mountain; and Heather belts out Fisherman's Son. All three sisters are standout lead singers, and when they blend voices on the old Irish folk songs, My Nut Brown Maiden and Tell My Ma, they're overpowering. Fiddler/pianist John Morris Rankin is the family's instrumental whiz who leads the way on a medley of reels. The group's most crucial talent, though, is Jimmy Rankin, who has written some of the finest folk-pop songs of the '90s, both love ballads like Fare Thee Well and working-class laments like Tramp Miner and Orangedale Whistle. --Geoffrey Himes

A Perfect Candidate (1996)

When right-wing icon Oliver North tried his hand at electoral politics in 1994, running for a U.S. Senate seat in Virginia, documentary filmmakers R.J.Cutler and David Van Taylor came along to record all the action. The access given to the filmmakers by North's election staff is startling, especially as it reveals the cynical realities at the heart of his campaign. Scenes of North professing his born-again faith are juxtaposed with footage of his foul-mouthed campaign managers plotting to use sexual rumors against his opponent, Senator Chuck Robb. Indeed, even North's own fabled mendacity is put before the camera: North is shown, in his 1987 immunized Congressional testimony, admitting that he lied to Congress, and then years later he's seen telling credulous high school students at a campaign stop that he never lied to Congress, but the press lied to the American people. Watching this revealing film, one wonders why North's campaign managers welcomed the camera crews into their profanity-filled staff meetings, but perhaps their egos demanded that people would someday get to see how cocky and mean-spirited they truly were. North lost the election, and went on to riches as a radio talk-show host, but this documentary about his campaign scores a win by exposing the dark heart of American politics in the 1990s. --Robert J. McNamara Sometimes horrifying, often hilarious, "A Perfect Candidate" is a twisted journey into the underbelly of American politics.

Objection!: How High-Priced Defense Attorneys, Celebrity Defendants, and a 24/7 Media Have Hijacked Our Criminal

Grace, an ex-prosecutor who for years has been a fixture on Court TV and now CNN, attacks criminals and their lawyers in this fiercely opinionated critique of the criminal justice system. Grace became a prosecutor after her fianc was murdered and claims to have achieved a 100% conviction rate. A political shuffle cost her that job, but God, she believes, led her to the airwaves to continue her battle of good against evil. Defense attorneys, she contends, are con artists whose job is "to obscure the truth from the jury." Other targets of the author's wrath are celebrity defendants who, she says, receive special treatment at trials and in sentencing; greedy citizens who talk their way onto juries to gather material for instant books; and hucksters who sell memorabilia collected from depraved criminals. Grace inveighs against those who profit from high-profile trials, but fails to note that her own role as television's pro-prosecution talking head could be criticized on that ground. Grace energetically argues that television cameras should be allowed at all trials. No matter how self-serving this proposal may be when made by a prominent member of the "24/7 media," the idea is intriguing and enlivens what is otherwise a fairly predictable and angry rehash of O.J., Peterson, et al. Copyright Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved. Grace, a former assistant district attorney in Atlanta specializing in criminal prosecution, is now a Court TV personality with a strong rightward lean. She presents a highly accessible commentary on what's wrong with our criminal justice system by focusing on cases involving the rich, famous, and infamous, including Michael Jackson, Kobe Bryant, Scott Peterson, the Menendez brothers, Martha Stewart, and Robert Blake. Grace's name-dropping has purpose as she integrates these celebrity cases with her own litigation experience to highlight deficiencies in the justice system. Her attack on defense attorneys and their ethical deficiencies seems one-sided as she appears at times to disregard the presumption of innocence of the accused. She criticizes celebrity defendants and even juries who attempt to benefit financially from well-publicized trials. She includes a personal account of the murder of her^B fiance in an apparently random drive-by shooting. It was an experience that motivated her interest in the law and, no doubt, colors her perspective^B of the justice system. Vernon FordCopyright American Library Association.

Uncle Ronald

Grade 6-8. At age 112, Mickey McGuire is Canada's oldest citizen, but he remembers with perfect clarity the events beginning in Ottawa in 1895. That year, without investigating the cause of his daily fainting spells, school authorities decide that 12-year-old Mickey should stay home. When his bed wetting begins, the boy's efforts to cure the problem ring with both hilarity and pathos. A larger concern is the frequent beatings he and his mother receive at the hands of his alcoholic father. Determined to spare her son further trauma, Mickey's mother sends him to stay on her family's farm run by her brother and twin sisters. Strong and tender, Uncle Ronald is wise in the ways of horses, geese, and men, and is the antithesis of the boy's brutal father. When Mickey's mother arrives after a particularly savage beating, she is sure that her husband will follow. Meanwhile, the entire rural area is also braced for violence. Armed federal troops have arrived to collect back taxes that no one can pay. Mickey's mother's cousins, the legendary O'Malley girls, are stalwart and shrewd in subverting their efforts. Doyle has a wonderful grasp of time and place. His unique storytelling voice weaves sound, sight, and disparate plot elements together into an unusual whole.

Disconnected plot elements give this quirky tale from Doyle (Spud Sweetgrass, 1996, etc.) a superficial, slapdash air.

Doyle's anile brand of humor--Mickey's account of what happens when he tries to keep his bed dry by attaching a hose to himself will have some readers wincing, and after the tax collectors' wagon wheels are loosened, ``policemen's nuts'' becomes a running joke--trivializes the story's serious themes, although the serious ultimately weighs down the farcical.

Uncle Ronald Grade 6-8. At age 112, Mickey McGuire is Canada's oldest citizen, but he remembers with perfect clarity the events beginning in Ottawa in 1895. That year, without investigating the cause of his daily fainting spells, school authorities decide that 12-year-old Mickey should stay home. When his bed wetting begins, the boy's efforts to cure the problem ring with both hilarity and pathos. A larger concern is the frequent beatings he and his mother receive at the hands of his alcoholic father. Determined to spare her son further trauma, Mickey's mother sends him to stay on her family's farm run by her brother and twin sisters. Strong and tender, Uncle Ronald is wise in the ways of horses, geese, and men, and is the antithesis of the boy's brutal father.

Lost Feuermann: Japanese Recordings 1934 & 1936

In 1942, just as Emanuel Feuermann was escaping the shadow of Pablo Casals, he died, the result of a botched routine surgery. He was only 39--Casals's age when he cut his first records in 1915. This irony was compounded in 1950, when the 76-year-old Casals decided to resume giving concerts after an 11-year retirement. He performed until he died at 97--more than 30 years after Feuermann. Casals and the cello are still almost synonymous in the public mind. But Feuermann, now largely forgotten, is actually the better cellist. He was the first cellist to play with the ease of a great violinist. And no cellist since has matched, much less surpassed, his combination of precise intonation, depth and intensity of sound, clarity of articulation, and heart-piercing, but discerning, musicianship. Twelve performances on Music & Arts' Lost Feuermann reappear for the first time since their original 78 rpm release. That most of them are "lollipops" does not matter. Feuermann's natural command and faultless musicianship override any preconceptions about such popular works. Saint-Saens' "The Swan" and Bruch's "Kol Nidrei," as well as arrangements of Chopin's Nocturne in E-flat and the Bach-Gounod "Ave Maria," are delivered in a manner that substitutes nobility of expression for the usual treacle. Feuermann's unusually fast vibrato never falters; moments of heightened expression are neither cluttered nor cheapened by self-indulgent portamenti. Yet emotional warmth and luscious tone are never sacrificed on the altar of clear-eyed discipline and innate good taste. Feuermann's cello never groaned; it always sang. --Stephen Wigler

Tales from the Bamboo Grove

In the foreword to this eclectic selection of Japanese folktales, the author of So Far from the Bamboo Grove reminisces about her childhood in North Korea and the importance of stories in her family--as a source of reassurance for her parents, living so far from home; and as a means of instruction, a way to pass along culture. Each of the six stories has a highly personal meaning for Watkins: when she had the measles, for example, and was feeling particularly ugly, her mother cheered her up with "Dragon Princess, Tatsuko," a tale of a vain girl whose wish to be eternally beautiful was granted in an unusual way. When Watkins complained to her father about the class bully, he rallied with "Monkey and Crab," a story in which a simian trickster gets his comeuppance. The stories are neatly and gracefully told, and elegantly accented with the Tseng's simple yet sophisticated black-and-white illustrations. Ages 9-16. Copyright 1992 Reed Business Information, Inc. Grade 4-6-- One Ainu and five Japanese tales are presented after a disarming introduction that explains the childhood circumstances under which the author first heard them. With the exception of the Ainu story, all have appeared in English, either in collections such as Uchida's The Magic Listening Cap (1987) and The Dancing Kettle (1986, both Creative Arts), or individually, e.g., Horio's The Monkey and the Crab (Heian, 1985). Yet the retellings here are somewhat different, often simpler than other versions and diverging in detail, rather like Bechstein vis-a-vis Grimm. The storytelling is stylish and compelling and provides food for thought about moral and ethical issues, but is also good fun. The black-and-white illustrations are culturally accurate and less ornate than the Tsengs' usual style. An attractive and inviting collection, this will make for resonant read-alouds. --John Philbrook, San Francisco Public LibraryCopyright 1992 Reed Business Information, Inc. The author of an outstanding account of her family's experiences escaping from Korea to return to Japan at the end of WW II (So Far from the Bamboo Grove, 1986, ALA Notable) recounts six Japanese tales remembered from her childhood. Watkins's introduction gives these brief tales unusual poignancy: she describes how her mother told ``Dragon Princess, Tatsuko'' when Yoko complained about breaking out with measles and explained, when telling ``The Fox Wife,'' that it was ``made up'' by farmers protesting a heavy tax. ``The Grandmother Who Became an Island,'' concerning a family separated in wartime, was the last story her father told before leaving for what turned out to be six years during WW II. Simply and gracefully narrated and handsomely embellished with full page b illustrations, an appealing addition to folklore collections. (Folklore. 7-12) -- Copyright 1992, Kirkus Associates, LP.

The New Best Recipe: All-New Edition

A literal encyclopedia of recipes (culled from the magazine), this revision to Cook's Illustrated's popular The Best Recipe is almost double in size and includes more than 1,000 recipes. Cook's Illustrated is known for careful (some would say compulsive) testing of recipes with a focus on foolproof technique; detailed line drawings that take readers step-by-step through recipes; and opinionated guides that assert that their way is the best way. This methodology appeals particularly to a specific kind of cook, one with a primarily scientific rather than artistic or intuitive approach to cooking. Though there are a few photographs, readers who buy cookbooks for full-color photographs and personal anecdotes aren't likely to be drawn to this work. Twenty-two chapters cover appetizers to desserts. Even the simplest tasks, such as blanching vegetables or peeling an egg, are explained and illustrated in detail. More involved techniques include brining poultry and roasting a turkey. Pad Thai gets a full-page description with photographs to help home cooks learn how to properly soak the noodles. Well organized and extremely clear, the book has only one drawback: its heft may make it tough to hoist onto kitchen counters. Copyright Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved. ". . . .will please those who groove to the cooking geek sensibility of CI editor Christopher Kimball." -- People Magazine, Novembe 12, 2004"Its charm is its over-the-top thoroughness." -- Newsweek Magazine, Decmeber 6, 2004"This new edition (The New Best Recipe) means business." -- The New York Times Book Review, November 5, 2004"the book's recipes...you don't need to be a gourmet to pull them off." -- San Francisco Bay Guardian, October 13, 2004 With The New Best Recipe, we invite you into Americas Test Kitchen, where you will stand at our elbows as we try to develop the best macaroni and cheese, the best meat loaf, the best roast chicken, the best brownie, and nearly 1,000 more best recipes for all of your favorite home-cooked foods. For the past decade, nearly two dozen test cooks and editors have worked together to develop thousands of recipes that millions of cooks have come to rely on. When the original Best Recipe was first published in 1999, this collection won accolades for its landmark approach to food and recipes. Now, with this newly revised and practical cookbook, we offer you the best of the best, an expanded collection (with 500 recipes new to this edition) assembled by the editors of Cooks Illustrated. Behind this bookand indeed everything we do at Americas Test Kitchenis a shared understanding of how frustrating it can be to spend time planning, shopping, and cooking only to turn out dishes that are mediocre at best. Have you ever been frustrated by piecrust that shrinks down the sides of the pan once baked? Have you ever spent a -fortune on prime rib only to have it come out dry and tough? Or baked a cheesecake that emerged from the oven with a crack the size of the San Andreas fault? Most of us dont have the time or inclination to spend hours and hours finding the answers to these and hundreds of other common cooking problems. We want recipes that work the first time and every time, and we want clear instructions. With The New Best Recipe in hand, you will have access to a wealth of practical information that will make you not only a better cook but a more confident one as well. No one likes to make mistakes in the kitchen. Thats why we test recipes over and over again (in some cases, more than 50 times)so you dont have to. Because good technique is also critical, we have included 800 illustrations that show you the best way to do everything from carving a turkey to beating egg whites properly to frosting a layer cake to setting up your grill. And because the right equipment always makes a difference, youll find valuable information on how and when to splurge on that expensive knife or baking pan and when the basic model will do just fine. (In our test, for instance, the $4 Bakers Secret loaf pan trumped competitors with prices four times as high.) We also explain the science of cooking (for instance, how brining works to ensure juicy meat and why butter should be added before dairy for the silkiest mashed potatoes) because understanding the science of food can help anyone become a better cook. Complete with recipes ranging from appetizers to desserts, The New Best Recipe promises to be a classic and timeless kitchen companion, one that draws back the curtain on our testing process so you learn firsthand what makes even the simplest recipe the best.

The New Best Recipe: All-New Edition A literal encyclopedia of recipes (culled from the magazine), this revision to Cook's Illustrated's popular The Best Recipe is almost double in size and includes more than 1,000 recipes. Cook's Illustrated is known for careful (some would say compulsive) testing of recipes with a focus on foolproof technique; detailed line drawings that take readers step-by-step through recipes; and opinionated guides that assert that their way is the best way. This methodology appeals particularly to a specific kind of cook, one with a primarily scientific rather than artistic or intuitive approach to cooking. Though there are a few photographs, readers who buy cookbooks for full-color photographs and personal anecdotes aren't likely to be drawn to this work. Twenty-two chapters cover appetizers to desserts. Even the simplest tasks, such as blanching vegetables or peeling an egg, are explained and illustrated in detail. More involved techniques include brining poultry and roasting a turkey. Pad Thai gets a full-page description with photographs to help home cooks learn how to properly soak the noodles. Well organized and extremely clear, the book has only one drawback: its heft may make it tough to hoist onto kitchen counters. Copyright Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.

". . . .will please those who groove to the cooking geek sensibility of CI editor Christopher Kimball." -- People Magazine, Novembe 12, 2004"Its charm is its over-the-top thoroughness." -- Newsweek Magazine, Decmeber 6, 2004"This new edition (The New Best Recipe) means business." -- The New York Times Book Review, November 5, 2004"the book's recipes...you don't need to be a gourmet to pull them off." -- San Francisco Bay Guardian, October 13, 2004 With The New Best Recipe, we invite you into Americas Test Kitchen, where you will stand at our elbows as we try to develop the best macaroni and cheese, the best meat loaf, the best roast chicken, the best brownie, and nearly 1,000 more best recipes for all of your favorite home-cooked foods. For the past decade, nearly two dozen test cooks and editors have worked together to develop thousands of recipes that millions of cooks have come to rely on. When the original Best Recipe was first published in 1999, this collection won accolades for its landmark approach to food and recipes. Now, with this newly revised and practical cookbook, we offer you the best of the best, an expanded collection (with 500 recipes new to this edition) assembled by the editors of Cooks Illustrated. Behind this bookand indeed everything we do at Americas Test Kitchenis a shared understanding of how frustrating it can be to spend time planning, shopping, and cooking only to turn out dishes that are mediocre at best. Have you ever been frustrated by piecrust that shrinks down the sides of the pan once baked? Have you ever spent a -fortune on prime rib only to have it come out dry and tough? Or baked a cheesecake that emerged from the oven with a crack the size of the San Andreas fault? Most of us dont have the time or inclination to spend hours and hours finding the answers to these and hundreds of other common cooking problems. We want recipes that work the first time and every time, and we want clear instructions. With The New Best Recipe in hand, you will have access to a wealth of practical information that will make you not only a better cook but a more confident one as well.

Peace & Noise

Last year's bittersweet return Almost Gone memorialized lost friends and family in profound fashion. The deaths of beat luminaries Ginsberg and Burroughs color parts of her seventh album, but overall Smith is back on the barricades and rocking alongside her Lenny Kaye-led band. 1959, a plea for Tibet, is the catchiest, timeliest song here, and, like Don't Say Nothing, it merits at least a dash of commercial airplay. Ain't going to happen, of course, but Smith's wisdom, apocalyptic imagery and artful invention (viz. Memento Mori) is manna to devotees. --Jeff Bateman CD

Cover plus 3.3 Cloud9 Queen 3 Inch Visco Elastic Memory Foam Mattress Pad Bed Topper Overlay 100% Visco Elastic Memory Foam For Comfort with Cover to Protect Your Visco Elastic Memory Foam Topper to Better Ensure That Your Visco-Elastic Mattress Pad Remains in Good Condition

3.3 Cloud Visco Elastic Memory Foam out performs and relieves painful pressure points better than the leading competitor with innovative visco elastic memory foam technology and better formulation to help you sleep through the night without tossing and turning, allowing you to awake refreshed and renewed after a good nights sleep.Cloud9 Visco-elastic foam - memory foam - provides an ideal sleeping surface. In normal temperatures it is firm, but when you lay down to sleep it reacts to the temperature of your body and begins to mold itself to your shape. Weight is then distributed evenly along the surface, relieving pressure and helping you to sleep more soundly without tossing and turning. Cloud Memory Foam Contours perfectly and molds to your body, superior pressure relief reduces back pain, increased circulation for a deep sleep. They go right on top of your bed - very useful for making a firm, hard or old mattress much more comfortable. The "Featherlight Sleep System" will kindle a sincere delight when it's time to retire for the night. Our exclusive, "Featherlight" formula makes you feel like you are floating on CLOUD9, sailing forth into a sea of enchanted dreams. We usually recommend that if the person using the visco-elastic memory foam mattress pad weighs under 200lbs and they are just looking for added comfort they should get a 2" visco-elastic memory foam mattress pad, if they weigh over 200 we definitely recommend a 3" visco-elastic memory foam mattress pad and for those that weigh over 250lbs the 4" toppers are the best option for pressure point relief and comfort. The 3.3 Cloud9 visco-elastic memory foam is SUPER SOFT being less dense and having a softer compression or ILD rating. The 4.2 Cloud9 Topper is slightly firmer and provides a little more support while at the same time remaining soft and supple with a slightly more supportive compression or ILD. Our most luxurious 5.3 Cloud9 visco elastic memory foam is firmer than the 3.3 and 4.2 Cloud9.

Permissive ignorance: An invitation to examine and discover the truth about Christianity

Permissive Ignorance is provocative, poignant and persuasive all at once...an easy and enjoyable read. -- Dr. Ron Crews, President, Massachusetts Family Institute, July 17, 2002 --This text refers to the Paperback edition. Permissive Ignorance is an excellent witnessing tool for Christians of all denominations, and a must-read for all seekers and skeptics. Few will be able to read this book without making a decision about their spiritual life. Permissive Ignornace has the readability, potency, and relevance that can impact hearts and attitudes from all walks of life. --This text refers to the Paperback edition. Are you brave enough to see the Truth? Is Christianity the truth? You had better be sure. The Christian faith makes some of the world's most audacious claims, not the least of these is that it holds the singular way to everlasting salvation: Faith in Jesus Christ. What if it's all true? Ask yourself the following: -What do I truly know about the Christian faith? -How much am I willing to learn? -Has my examination of Christianity been stymied by a hidden preference to reach a predetermined conclusion? -Have I heard all sides of the story? -Would I bet my life on what I believe today? What about eternity? -What would I do if I found out that Christianity is the undisputable truth? Are you a slave to permissive ignorance? Don't wait too long to find out! --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

Stardust on My Pillow: Stories to Sleep on

Best-selling Author and Beloved Storyteller Patsy Clairmont Takes an All-New Approach to Her Message of Encouragement, Healing, and Hope.From "Boxed In," the story of a woman making a startling discovery about a distant aunt she never really knew, to "Cloistered," the tale of a severely phobic woman being gently wooed back into life, popular speaker and writer Patsy Clairmont has crafted a beautiful and impressive first collection of short fiction. Through the fourteen tales featured in Stardust on My Pillow, Patsy sensitively explores the themes of compassion and kindness, holiness and hope, while providing beautifully written inspiration for all of us who desire to spread a little stardust of our own. Quotes:"Patsy Clairmont has a sensitive and compassionate voice as a storyteller."-Francine Rivers, author"I rarely read fiction, but when I do it had better be good. Well, let me tell you, friends, this is good. It incorporates Patsy's extraordinary communication skills with her unique ability to weave a charming and fantastic story. Plan to stay up late and be dazzled by stardust."-LuciSwindoll, author and speaker"Like a vase holding a spring bouquet, Patsy's book holds a wonderful variety of stories, each one with emotional color and a lingering fragrance all its own."-Ken Gire, author "As endearing as Patsy herself, these honest, poignant tales bring home messages of grace, truth, and above all, hope."-Liz Curtis Higgs, author and speaker"Patsy's short stories are sure to warm your heart and soul. Simply one of the most delightful reading experiences I've had in a long time."-Shelley Breen, Point of GraceShort Stories to Bolster Your SpiritPetite, playful, and profound. These words help to describe Patsy Clairmont's size, message, and humor. Gifted with both a quick wit and a sure command of God's Word, Patsy can simultaneously bring laughter to her audiences while imparting deep, life-changing insights. Known today as a best-selling author and popular speaker who addresses thousands of women at national conferences, Patsy once suffered as a prisoner in her own home because of agoraphobia (fear of open spaces).

Star Wars E3 DF01 ANAKIN/VADER

Part of Hasbros line of Revenge of the Sith toys, this Anakin Skywalker action figure comes with a complete set of Darth Vader garb, enabling his final, decisive transformation to the Dark Side. Just push Anakins head down into his chest cavity to pop Vaders head, armor, and cape into place. Limbs and a mechanical chest plate also snap on. Its a clever concept, though the actual execution takes some effort, and poor Anakin doesnt have a lot of mobility. The figure measures about 4 inches tall and comes with a brown cloak and tunic for Anakin along with a blue lightsaber and a red lightsaber. --Andy Boynton

Verdi: Il Corsaro

Listed as thirteenth among Verdi's stage works, Il Corsaro was actually conceived years before it was finished. By the time it was finally produced in1848, its style seemed something of a throwback, and the premiere was an unmitigated disaster. Many subsequent writers dismissed it as one of Verdi's worst operas, but this opinion has been challenged in recent years. Its numerous musical beauties outweigh any hesitations induced by its old-fashioned story, and this 1971 live performance shows it at its best.

A tree grows in Brooklyn: A novel

Francie Nolan, avid reader, penny-candy connoisseur, and adroit observer of human nature, has much to ponder in colorful, turn-of-the-century Brooklyn. She grows up with a sweet, tragic father, a severely realistic mother, and an aunt who gives her love too freely--to men, and to a brother who will always be the favored child. Francie learns early the meaning of hunger and the value of a penny. She is her father's child--romantic and hungry for beauty. But she is her mother's child, too--deeply practical and in constant need of truth. Like the Tree of Heaven that grows out of cement or through cellar gratings, resourceful Francie struggles against all odds to survive and thrive. Betty Smith's poignant, honest novel created a big stir when it was first published over 50 years ago. Her frank writing about life's squalor was alarming to some of the more genteel society, but the book's humor and pathos ensured its place in the realm of classics--and in the hearts of readers, young and old. (Ages 10 and older) --Emilie Coulter --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title. "A profoundly moving novel, and an honest and a true one. It cuts right to the heart of life." -- --Orville Prescott,New York Times --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title. 11 1.5-hour cassettes --This text refers to the Audio Cassette edition. Betty Smith was born Elisabeth Wehner on December 15, 1896, the same date as, although five years earlier than, her fictional heroine Francie Nolan. The daughter of German immigrants, she grew up poor in the Williamsburg section of Brooklyn, the very world she re-creates with such meticulous detail in A Tree Grows in Brooklyn. After marrying fellow Brooklynite George H.E. Smith, she moved with him to Ann Arbor, Michigan, where he was a law student at the University of Michigan. The young bride soon had two daughters, Nancy and Mary, and was forced to wait until the girls had entered grade school before endeavoring to complete her own formal education. Although she had not finished high school, the largely autodidactic Smith was permitted to take classes at the university, and she concentrated her studies there in journalism, drama, writing and literature. She capped her education by winning the Avery Hopkins Award for work in drama, and did a three-year course in playwriting at the Yale Drama School. After stints writing features for a Detroit newspaper, reading plays for the Federal Theatre Project, and acting in summer stock, Smith landed in Chapel Hill, North Carolina under the auspices of the W.P.A. She and her first husband divorced in 1938. In 1943, she married Joe Jones, a writer, journalist, and associate editor of the Chapel Hill Weekly, while he was serving as a private in the wartime army. That same year, A Tree Grows in Brooklyn, her first novel, was published. The prestige of writing a best-selling, critically lauded book brought assignments from the New York Times Magazine, for which she wrote both light-hearted and serious commentary. In a December 1943 piece called "Why Brooklyn is that Way," Smith donned the mantle of her childhood borough's unofficial champion. Her perceptions at once encapsulate one of the core themes of her novel and answer some of her more urbane critics. "Brooklyn is the small town -- but on a gigantic scale -- that the New Yorker ran away from," she wrote. "In jeering at Brooklyn's mores and ideology, your New Yorker may be trying to exorcise his own small-town background." Although most remembered for the phenomenal success of that first book, Smith wrote other novels, including Tomorrow Will Be Better (1947), Maggie-Now (1958), and Joy in the Morning (1963). She also had a long career as a dramatist, writing one-act and full-length plays for which she received both the Rockefeller Fellowship and the Dramatists Guild Fellowship. She died in 1972. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title. Betty Smith's sentimental favorite documents Francie Nolan's childhood and coming-of-age in a poor but loving family in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, in the first half of the twentieth century. Kate Burton's narration makes the story feel more dated than timeless, and her accents push the boundaries of authenticity. Still, she communicates the universality of Francie's childhood dreams, and the image of young Francie, sitting out on the fire escape, so close to a growing tree that she feels as if she is nestled in its branches, with a pillow and a glass of ice water, "at peace with the world and happy as only a little girl could be with a fine book and a little bowl of candies, and all alone in the house," rings true and somehow familiar. There's a reason this tale remains beloved after almost 50 years, and it stands with memoirs like ANGELA'S ASHES for its happy-ending triumph over a bad childhood.

False Mystery: Essays on the Assassination of JFK

Salandria is a marvel...False Mystery bears witness to his scathing criticism of the flaws of the Warren Commission. -- JFK/Deep Politics Quarterly Vincent J. Salandria has been an attorney in the Philadelphia public school system since 1967. He studied law at the University of Pennsylvania, and in the 1950s and 1960s was a volunteer lawyer with the American Civil Liberties Union. He began studying the Kennedy assassination on November 22, 1963. In 1967 he served as advisor to Jim Garrison in the New Orleans District Attorneys investigation of the Kennedy case. Salandria is a lifelong resident of Philadelphia and an avid tennis player. Nicknamed "Hank" for his boyhood admiration of slugger Hank Greenberg, his favorite baseball team remains the Detroit Tigers. Vincent J. Salandria is a Philadelphia lawyer who was among the first private citizens to critically evaluate the Warren Commission findings on the assassination of President Kennedy. In November 1964 he wrote the first published article critiquing the Warren Report. He later served as an advisor to Jim Garrison in the New Orleans District Attorney's investigation of the Kennedy case. Salandria is a former ACLU lawyer and is presently an attorney in the Philadelphia school system, a position he has held since 1967. Excerpt from: A Lawyers Dissenting View Arlen Specter, Esq., Assistant Counsel of the Presidents Commission on the Assassination of President Kennedy, was quoted by The Philadelphia Evening Bulletin of October 23, 1964, page 4, as follows: "The people are going to have to rely on the conclusions (that have been drawn) and the stature of the men on the Commission." We know that Mr. Specter did not mean by the above statement that the Warren Commission was ever meant to be construed as a "ministry of truth." Nor would the members of the Commission, as public servants in a democracy, ever consider that their "stature" insulated their interpretations and findings from public criticism. Since we are all agreed on this score, we can now proceed to disagree. Let us then, as lawyers, address ourselves to the evidence and findings of the Commission, limiting ourselves for the present to Mr. Specters area of particular interest relating to the shots, their number, source or sources and trajectories. We will also look briefly into the subject of the wounds inflicted. Then we will scrutinize the Commissions conclusions that their evidence supports the propositions that three shots were fired by Lee Harvey Oswald alone from a bolt-action 6.5mm. Carcano rifle while he was stationed at a window on the sixth floor of the Texas School Book Depository Building. The Commission further concluded that the three shots caused all the damage at the assassination site and that the time span between the first and last shot which struck President Kennedy and Governor Connally was 4.5 to 5.6 seconds. These conclusions I commend to your scrutiny and urge that you relate them to the evidence of the Commission. First, with reference to the source of the shots, it is not central to my thesis that the Warren Commission erred in determining that three shots came from the Book Depository Building. On the contrary, I am willing to concede for the purposes of this presentation that three shots did come from the Book Depository Building. But I will endeavor to prove that all the evidence of the Commissions Report points up that another shot or shots came from a source other than the Depository Building. The following witnesses reported evidence indicating a source other than the Book Depository Building: Austin L. Miller on the railroad bridge thought the shots came from the Presidential limousine itself. Frank E. Reilly, an electrician on the same bridge, heard three shots that seemed to come from the trees "on the north side of Elm Street at the corner up there" (W-70). S.M. Holland heard "four shots which sounded as though they came from the trees on the north side of Elm Street where he saw a puff of smoke" (W-76). Thomas J. Murphy said the two shots he heard "came from a spot just west of the Depository" (W-76). L.E. Bowers, Jr. said they came "either from the Depository Building or near the mouth of the Triple Underpass" (W-76). Arlen Specter, Esq., stated that Senator Ralph W. Yarborough said he smelled gunpowder at the assassination site. Mr. Specter dismissed this as the function of "an overly active olfactory sense." He admitted that a Dallas police officer was reported to have smelled gunpowder 350 to 400 feet from the Depository Building immediately following the assassination shots. Mr. Specter did not comment on this. If the smell of gunpowder was detectable at street level immediately after the assassination, then this would indicate a source of shots other than the sixth floor of the Book Depository Building. So, the Commission ignored all of the above in so far as the evidence reveals auditory, visual, and olfactory stimuli reception incompatible with the source of shots exclusively from the Book Depository Building. Needless to say, this aforementioned evidence does not rule out additional shots having been fired from the building in question. But it certainly supports the conclusion that one or more shots originated from the tree and fence area north of Elm Street.

There are more than 300 million copies of his books in print. --This text refers to the Paperback edition. Chapter OneThe night brought a soft wind. It came gently, flowing through the gaps in the Blue Ridge Mountains and spilling over the valleys below, rustling the leaves outside the big house. They rustled, were still, then again they stirred.Mat Brionne, who was not quite seven, lay awake, listening.His father was in Washington to see President Grant, but was expected home soon, and Mat was eager for any sound that might herald his coming.Mat loved his father, a tall, fine-looking man in uniform or out, a superb horseman, and as the neighbors said, as fine a shot as ever held a gun.The rustling of leaves stilled momentarily, and in the silence Mat heard a faint stir of horses moving up the lane from the highroad. These horses moved almost silently, which was not like his father's coming would be.The curtains at the window were open, and in the faint light Mat could see the hands of the clock. He had just learned to tell time, and was very aware of each hour. It was past midnight. As he listened, the sounds ceased. Uneasy, remembering the stories of Indians and of renegades, he slipped from his bed and peered down into the yard.For a moment he saw nothing, and then he caught the shine of an empty saddle, then a surreptitious movement in the shadows near a tree.Frightened, he went down the hall to his mother's room. He opened the door, went in quickly, and touched her arm.Mother . . . there's some men outside. I heard them.It's your imagination, Mat. Your father won't be back until tomorrow.I didn't think it was pa. They're acting very quiet. I'm scared.Anne Brionne got up and took her robe from a chair. There had been no trouble to speak of in Virginia since the end of the war, when James had been rounding up renegades.It's alright, Mat. No one would come to bother us. They know your father too well. Anyway, Sam would have heard them. He's sleeping in the gatehouse.Mother, this is Friday. Sam's never there on Friday. He goes to the tavern.Nobody was supposed to know that, but Mat had overheard the overseer telling Sam to be carefulthat if the Major heard about it he would be discharged.Anne Brionne stood very still, thinking. The nearest house was four miles away. Burt Webster, their overseer, had gone to visit his sister in Culpeper. The field hands were cutting firewood back in the mountains, and if Sam was gone they were alone on the place, except for the Negro maid, Malvernia.There's nothing to be afraid of, Mat. We'll go downstairs.Their feet made no sound upon the soft carpets. James kept his guns locked in a cabinet in his study, but when they reached the foot of the stairs Anne Brionne paused, facing the front door. Someone was trying the door, turning the knob ever so gently. Mat heard it, too, and his grip on his mother's hand tightened.For a moment she stood perfectly still, and in that instant she felt fear for the first time. Suddenly she knew who the men must bein Virginia, at this time, it could be nobody else. This was a time of peace. There had been little lawlessness since James ended the raids by the guerilla bands left over from the war.Two years had gone by, but she still remembered the courtroom and the evil, hate-twisted face of Dave Allard as he hurled threats at her husband, Major James Brionne.The Allardsit was a name they adopted after leaving Missouriwere a renegade family of doubtful origin who had been petty thieves before the war, and who blossomed into full-time thieves and murderers under cover of the war.Dave Allard, several times a murderer, had been tracked down and captured by Major Brionne. At his trial it had been Brionne's testimony that convicted him, and he was sentenced to be hanged.Allard had lunged from his chair screaming, They'll kill you, Brionne! My folks'll git you! They'll see you an' yourn burn! Burn, I tell you!Anne Brionne forced herself now to think calmly. There was no one else it could be, and she had always feared they might come someday, although James had derided Dave Allard's words as the wild threat of a man never sound mentally.If these were the Allards, they would be looking for James. Without a doubt they expected to find him here, and they had probably watched Sam leave for the tavern, to be sure no one else was in the house.Now they would try the other doors and the windows. When they tried the dining-room window they would find it open, for the night had been warm and she had left the window open, as she often did, for the breeze off the mountain. She had neglected to close it, and Malvernia would not have been in that part of the house after dinner.Mat, she said calmly, I want you to go down into the cellar and leave by the old root-cellar door. Go to your cave and stay there until one of us comes for you. No matter what happens, no matter what you hear, stay there until either your father or I come to get you.Mother, IDo what you are told, Mat. That is the way your father would want it.Still he hesitated. Go, she repeated. Go now.A moment longer he hesitatedhe did not like to see his mother standing there, so quiet and pale. Then he fled.Anne Brionne's glance from the study window showed several horses under the trees . . . she counted seven, and there might be others.She unlocked the cabinet and took out the shotgun James used for hunting wild boar. It was loaded with heavy buckshot. Then she took out the pistol, a small derringer made in Philadelphia, that James had given her shortly after their marriage. It had two barrels, one under the other.The doors from the dining room and the study faced the wide entrance hall on either side. She went up the six steps to the landing. From there the steps mounted in two wide, sweeping staircases to the second floor. On the landing there was a straight-backed chair.Seating herself carefully, she arranged the folds of her robe about her, concealing the small gun in her lap under an edge of the gown. The shotgun she held across her knees. And there, her heart beating heavily, she waited.This was her home. Here she had come as a bride, and Anne Brionne came of stubborn stock. Here she had lived in happiness. Here she had given birth to her son.Generations of pioneer ancestors did not allow her to take the ownership of a home lightly. One had a home; one defended it. This was something she understood perfectly well.She had never expected to be called upon to defend her home, although her grandmother had once defended a log cabin in this same state against an Indian attack. No, she had never expected it, but now that the moment had come she was prepared.It was not an easy place to defend. She must frighten these intruders away, if possible. If poise and dignity could not do it, the shotgun must. In any case, Mat would be safe. The passage from the old root cellar, built for a pioneer house long ago, would allow Mat to escape to his river-bank cave. Even if they should find the passage, used only by Mat playing war games, they would not find the cave under the roots of the old oak.After a moment, she rose. Taking a candle, she lighted it, and walked from place to place, lighting each candelabrum until the hall was as bright as for a party. Then she went back to the chair and seated herself as before.There was no hope of keeping them out if they were determined to enter, but she hoped the shotgun might be sufficient to stop them and force them to leave. Yet deep within her she knew the man she had seen in the courtroom, shouting his threats, would not have been frightened off. Nor would his brothers or his cousins.Fortunately, Malvernia was living in her own house behind the garden, and was not likely to be in danger. Her husband was off with the woodcutters, and she, too, was alone.The footstep was faint, the door from the dining room opened ever so gently, and a man stood there. He was a big man with almost white hair, but he was young and strong. The muscles swelled the chest and sleeves of his shirt, a shirt that was soiled and worn, as was the vest he wore over it.Slowly, he looked around, obviously amazed at everything he saw. A second man appeared, this one from the study door. He was slighter, and, if possible, he was dirtier than the first one. It was he who saw her.He leaned forward, staring, as if unable to believe what his eyes told him. It's a woman! He spoke with astonishment. Jest a-settin' there!Cotton Allard stepped further into the room. The newel post at the foot of the stairs bulked between them.You have come here to see Major Brionne, Anne Brionne said calmly. He is not at home. This is not an hour at which we welcome guests. If you will come again, I am sure he will be most pleased to meet you.Now there's manners for ya. Cotton Allard was frankly admiring. There sets a real lady. I allus wondered what them kind was like. Looks like we figure to find out.I would suggestAnne Brionne's voice chilled that you leave now.Cotton Allard deliberately rolled his quid in his jaws and spat tobacco juice on the Persian rug. I reckon with the Major gone we'll just have to make do with what's here. He turned toward the other man. You tell the boys to take whatever they want from the house afore we set it afire. I aim to be busy right here.You tell 'em, the slighter man said. I ain't a-goin' no place.Cotton was cautious, keeping the newel post between himself and the woman. He had not yet seen the shotgun, which was partly hidden now beside her knee. Cotton c... --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

No matter what happens, no matter what you hear, stay there until either your father or I come to get you.Mother, IDo what you are told, Mat. That is the way your father would want it.Still he hesitated. Go, she repeated. Go now.A moment longer he hesitatedhe did not like to see his mother standing there, so quiet and pale. Then he fled.Anne Brionne's glance from the study window showed several horses under the trees . . . she counted seven, and there might be others.She unlocked the cabinet and took out the shotgun James used for hunting wild boar. It was loaded with heavy buckshot. Then she took out the pistol, a small derringer made in Philadelphia, that James had given her shortly after their marriage. It had two barrels, one under the other.The doors from the dining room and the study faced the wide entrance hall on either side. She went up the six steps to the landing. From there the steps mounted in two wide, sweeping staircases to the second floor. On the landing there was a straight-backed chair.Seating herself carefully, she arranged the folds of her robe about her, concealing the small gun in her lap under an edge of the gown. The shotgun she held across her knees. And there, her heart beating heavily, she waited.This was her home. Here she had come as a bride, and Anne Brionne came of stubborn stock. Here she had lived in happiness. Here she had given birth to her son.Generations of pioneer ancestors did not allow her to take the ownership of a home lightly. One had a home; one defended it. This was something she understood perfectly well.She had never expected to be called upon to defend her home, although her grandmother had once defended a log cabin in this same state against an Indian attack. No, she had never expected it, but now that the moment had come she was prepared.It was not an easy place to defend. She must frighten these intruders away, if possible. If poise and dignity could not do it, the shotgun must. In any case, Mat would be safe. The passage from the old root cellar, built for a pioneer house long ago, would allow Mat to escape to his river-bank cave. Even if they should find the passage, used only by Mat playing war games, they would not find the cave under the roots of the old oak.After a moment, she rose. Taking a candle, she lighted it, and walked from place to place, lighting each candelabrum until the hall was as bright as for a party. Then she went back to the chair and seated herself as before.There was no hope of keeping them out if they were determined to enter, but she hoped the shotgun might be sufficient to stop them and force them to leave. Yet deep within her she knew the man she had seen in the courtroom, shouting his threats, would not have been frightened off. Nor would his brothers or his cousins.Fortunately, Malvernia was living in her own house behind the garden, and was not likely to be in danger. Her husband was off with the woodcutters, and she, too, was alone.The footstep was faint, the door from the dining room opened ever so gently, and a man stood there. He was a big man with almost white hair, but he was young and strong. The muscles swelled the chest and sleeves of his shirt, a shirt that was soiled and worn, as was the vest he wore over it.Slowly, he looked around, obviously amazed at everything he saw. A second man appeared, this one from the study door. He was slighter, and, if possible, he was dirtier than the first one. It was he who saw her.He leaned forward, staring, as if unable to believe what his eyes told him. It's a woman! He spoke with astonishment. Jest a-settin' there!Cotton Allard stepped further into the room. The newel post at the foot of the stairs bulked between them.You have come here to see Major Brionne, Anne Brionne said calmly. He is not at home. This is not an hour at which we welcome guests. If you will come again, I am sure he will be most pleased to meet you.Now there's manners for ya. Cotton Allard was frankly admiring. There sets a real lady. I allus wondered what them kind was like. Looks like we figure to find out.I would suggestAnne Brionne's voice chilled that you leave now.Cotton Allard deliberately rolled his quid in his jaws and spat tobacco juice on the Persian rug. I reckon with the Major gone we'll just have to make do with what's here. He turned toward the other man. You tell the boys to take whatever they want from the house afore we set it afire. I aim to be busy right here.You tell 'em, the slighter man said. I ain't a-goin' no place.Cotton was cautious, keeping the newel post between himself and the woman. He had not yet seen the shotgun, which was partly hidden now beside her knee. Cotton c... --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

Biting at the Grave: The Irish Hunger Strikes and the Politics of Despair

During 1981, 10 IRA prisoners died in hunger strikes as they sought status as political prisoners; among them was unseated Parliament member Bobby Sands, who assumed heroic dimensions at home and abroad. O'Malley "assembles strands of elitism, nationalism and the peculiar sanction of the dead into a powerful and passionate chronicle of a people's yearning," said PW. Copyright 1991 Reed Business Information, Inc. It would seem impossible for O'Malley to match the depth and insight of his first book on Northern Ireland, Uncivil Wars ( LJ 10/1/83), but he's done it in this book on the 1981 hunger strike in the Maze prison. He balances the stories of the hunger strike, the strikers, their families, leaders, goals, and strategies against the larger picture of the bitter politics of Northern Ireland. It is this context that is the strength of this work, and the book complements the more detailed study of the strikers' positions outlined in David Beresford's Ten Men Dead ( LJ 4/1/89). O'Malley's analysis of the power of myth and tradition enslaving the politics of the whole island, dooming it to tragic repetitions of violence, exposes the very core of the conflict. Highly recommended.- Richard B. Finnegan, Stonehill Coll., North Easton, Mass.Copyright 1990 Reed Business Information, Inc. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title. In an eloquent and haunting book, O'Malley makes the fanaticism of [the hunger strikers] and their supporters, the obdurate and morally discredited tactics of the British Government and the hopeless combat of the Protestant and Roman Catholic factions in the Northern Ireland struggle explicable, and exposes the politics behind it.
