Casablanca: As Times Goes By: 50th Anniversary Commemorative
|
["Frank Miller"]
| 3.97 | 38 | 7 |
The leading lady was the producer's second choice. The leading man avoided his co-star between love scenes for fear of his wife's jealousy. Two of the stars didn't want to be in the movie in the first place. And nobody knew how the picture would end until the day they shot the final scene. Yet, out of this chaos came one of the enduring film favorites of all time - Casablanca.
For the First time, here is the whole story of Warner Bros. Production No. 410, from the original play that laid its foundation, through casting, writing, shooting, and post-production, to the series of lucky breaks that created one of the most everlastingly popular films of the last fifty years.
At every step along the road to Casablanca, the picture's creators had to make choices that later meant the difference between triumph and flop. Ronald Regan was initially announced to play one of the male leads. Producer Hal Wallis considered casting Ella Fitzgerald as Sam the piano player. Composer Max Steiner tried to cut "As Time Goes By." And sometimes the participants managed to make the right choices in spite of themselves.
Lavishly illustrated with a collection of photos, memos, blueprints and posters never before assembled in one book 'Casablanca: As Time Goes By...' paints the most complete picture ever of a movie that has mesmerised film-lovers and romantics for half a century.

And the Morning Sun Raised Man
|
["Omar King McCray"]
| 4.5 | 2 | null |
Let's ask ourselves, do we live in question, or do we live in the know? Do we live with answers? Poetry has been my refuge since I left common thought at the altar. Being saved by courage and survived by the doubt of what I know to be true. "I sleep, I breath therefore I am alive, I bled, I cried therefore I survived". Do we cry to know we are human? Do we bleed to know we are not strong? Many phases are drawn upon curiosities of oneself, aspects that are soon to be discovered. My thoughts were never conjured to confuse you; I am sincerely conveying that the prologue of life lies in the struggle and triumphs of our years. Poetry is my prologue, my soliloquy to the ears and eyes of many who seek truth beyond the depth of definition. Words have a vast meaning and through those connotations beam a ray of light. Words have power, they have concept, they can assassinate, they can execute, kill, but they can also rescue, save, revive and reincarnate truth from lies. You see words carry the whips and chains of our society, we are and forever will be enslaved by the diction of a dictionary, we are the house Negro to the similes and the hyperboles of our own colloquialism. Our lives depend on the survival we put breath in, our survival relies on the progress we put time in. Life's cycle never stops neither does the meaning, meanings are infinite and infinite and has no connotation nor does it have an end.

The Complete Guide to Growing Tomatoes: Everything You Need to Know Explained Simply-Including Heirloom Tomatoes
|
["Cherie Everhart"]
| 4.04 | 24 | 9 |
The average tomato farmer has more than 100 varieties of tomatoes, ranging from the sweetest, juiciest strains available to the smallest, easiest to grow options out there. Tomatoes are found in thousands of dishes across the world and they are notoriously expensive, especially in years when bad weather can destroy anywhere between 10% and 60% of the crops harvested in the United States annually. For all these reasons and more, many people have taken to growing their own tomatoes, setting up containers in their kitchens and digging plots in the back yard. But, effectively growing tomatoes is more than just a hobby for most. It is a challenge and without the right knowledge of how tomatoes grow and what they need, it can be downright frustrating. Growing tomatoes is a task anyone can accomplish and enjoy and this book strives to provide every possible resource and tip needed for you to become one of a growing legion of tomato growers. You will learn the fundamental basic aspects of all tomato plants that have helped growers around the world master their craft and create the largest tomatoes around. You will learn the basics of composting and fertilization and what each tomato plant benefits best from. You will also learn how to select your garden location and the seemingly complex but ideal task of starting from seed with your new tomato plants. You will learn what kinds of support systems are best for each kind of tomato plant, including the kinds of watering, cages, and nets that your plants might benefit most from. Tomato experts who have created a livelihood for themselves in growing and mastering the tomato plant have been interviewed around the country and their responses added to the book, helping you to know how to set the plants, prune them effectively, read a tomato plant at various times during the season and even to combat the various trials and tribulations of tomato growing, from pests and disease to frost and storms. Everything you could possibly need to know about tomatoes, how to grow them and how to effectively start a new hobby and possibly create secondary income, is included in this guide for you.

Mr. Lossing "traveled more than ten thousand miles…visiting places of historic interest connected with the War of 1812, from the Great Lakes to the Gulf of Mexico, gathering up, recording, and delineating every thing of special value, not found in books…and making himself familiar with the topography and incidents of the battlefields of that war." Through access to the archives of governments, state and national, and to private collections and personal accounts of the events of that struggle, which otherwise might have been lost, he received the most interesting information concerning the war. "An account is given of the perils of the country immediately succeeding the Revolution; the struggles of the new nation with the allied powers of British and Indians in the Northwest; the origin and growth of political parties in the United States, and their relations to the War of 1812; the influence of the French Revolution and French politics in giving complexion to parties in this country; the first war with the Barbary Powers; the effects of the wars of Napoleon on the public policy of the United States; the Embargo and kindred acts, and the kindling of the war in 1812." A subject, place and fullname index plus a list of illustrations covering the page numbers of over 800 drawings and maps placed throughout the text allow the researcher easy access to information.

A Trail for Singers: Finnish Folk Poetry
|
["Keith Bosley"]
| 4.6 | 5 | null |
A Trail for Singers presents a selection of the ancient epic poetry of the Baltic-Finnish region, from Estonia in the south to Finnish and Russian Karelia in the north. Springing from the same background as the more famous Kalevala, the Finnish 'national epic', the 148 poems in this book bring alive the vanished world of the hunters and fishermen of Karelia and the serfs of Ingria, bound to the land. From ancient myths about the origin of the universe to an eighteenth-century elegy sung to army recruits as they left home, the poems take the readers back to an age when shamanism was still prevalent and show how Christianity replaced the old beliefs. At the same time they are a testimony to the power of the human imagination and to man's need for art.

West of the Dead Line
The Dead Line, as it came to be called, was a railroad, the Missouri, Kansas, and Texas, cutting across the middle of Indian Territory. It ran straight south from Caldwell, Kansas to Fort Reno, I.T., then on down through the Cheyenne and Comanche and Kiowa lands, crossing the Red River into Bowie, Texas. It was a line on the map, a demarcation. West of it there was no law, only outlaws. On trails out there, notes would be put up on trees and posts, sort of reverse wanted posters, letting lawmen know they’d be killed if they continued their pursuits west of the Dead Line.
Throughout the 225 years of the U.S. Marshals Service, over 200 deputies have been killed in the line of duty. Of those, more than 120 lost their lives in the Indian and Oklahoma Territories between 1850 and Oklahoma statehood in 1907.
In the storied history of the American West, no place comes close to matching the dangers and mortality these federal officers faced doing their jobs. Their courage, resolve, and dedication to duty were beyond reproach... for the most part. Those who survived became titans in the legends of the West, particularly one man called Bass Reeves. These stories are fiction, but the encounters this lawman faced, and The Dead Line, were not.

["Elisabeth Brauner"]
| 0 | 0 | null |
This Handbook provides a compendium of research methods that are essential for studying interaction and communication across the behavioral sciences. Focusing on coding of verbal and nonverbal behavior and interaction, the Handbook is organized into five parts. Part I provides an introduction and historic overview of the field. Part II presents areas in which interaction analysis is used, such as relationship research, group research, and nonverbal research. Part III focuses on development, validation, and concrete application of interaction coding schemes. Part IV presents relevant data analysis methods and statistics. Part V contains systematic descriptions of established and novel coding schemes, which allows quick comparison across instruments. Researchers can apply this methodology to their own interaction data and learn how to evaluate and select coding schemes and conduct interaction analysis. This is an essential reference for all who study communication in teams and groups.

["Maria Varshavskaya"]

Universally celebrated for his rosy and concupiscent nudes, Peter Paul Rubens (1577-1640) was an artist whose first concern was sensuality in all its forms. This Baroque master devoted himself to a lifelong celebration of the joys and wonders of the physical realm. He felt that the human body was as lovely and natural as the many natural landscapes he painted as a young man. In a lushly illustrated text, María Varshavskaya and Xenia Yegorova explore the master at work, bringing a unique focus to Ruben’s life and work

["Colin Alexander"]
| 3.83 | 29 | 3 |
The Soviet Union has fallen. The Cold War is over. Or, is it? Dr. George Jeffers’ biotech breakthrough has been stolen and his friend is missing in Amsterdam. Jeffers is a brilliant biochemist but a life spent in academic laboratories has left him ill-prepared for the rough and tumble real world. Despite his naiveté, Jeffers rushes off to find his invention and rescue his friend, only to be nearly killed right at the start. He falls in with his savior, Taylor Redding, self-styled World’s Greatest Female Adventurer, a woman whose youth and beauty hide many unpleasant secrets. The oddly matched pair crisscross Europe in their search, a Europe where the spies of the Cold War have new masters but the same deadly tricks. The body count rises as they go and their suspicions build that the invention is but a pawn in a deadly new political game, one having an eerie foretaste of the current world. They find enemies in abundance, but even their friends may not be friends. Betrayal is no further away than a change in self-interest. Jeffers must shed his naiveté and Taylor her secrets or neither they nor stability in Europe will survive.

Der Mann von Idea. Berlin: 33 Jahre nach der Klimakatastrophe
|
["Karl-Heinz Tuschel"]
| 3.5 | 2 | null |
Die Klimakatastrophe war nicht zu vermeiden, vieles ist unwiederbringbar zerstört, nur wenige Zentren menschlicher Zivilisation haben überlebt. Wie werden sich die Überlebnenden nach 33 Jahren verhalten? Vereint sie der Schock, fallen sie in einen Überlebenskampf zurück oder bringen sie eine neue Moral hervor?
Die asiatischen Meister von IDEA schickten Ross nach Berlin. In die Katastrophe hineingeboren, überlebte er und hat den Auftrag, Gleichgesinnte zu sammeln. Seine Talente zum Überleben sind enorm, seine kommunikativen FÄhigkeiten beneidenwert - kann er, der er die Gewalt nicht mag, gewaltfrei bleiben? Auf seinen Streifzügen durch die Mark Brandenburg und den Harz, vor allem aber durch die Berliner Stadtgebiete, gewissermaßen von Wandlitz bis Wannsee, wir er sehr bald mit der eigenen Geschichte, der seiner Verwandten und ihrer Freunde konfrontiert. Viele setzen auf ihn ihre Hoffnung.
Jedoch sind nicht alle so begeistert von der Idee einer übernationalen Gewissensinstanz, von der und für die er wirbt. Spontan nimmt er jede abenteuerliche Herausforderung an, vis er an das Zentrum der Macht gelangt.
Es ist eine einfach, manchmal vereinfachte, stets jedoch unterhaltsame Geschichte, mit flotter Feder geschrieben und mit einer letztlich ganz und gar unromantischen Sicht auf die Menschen, die Macht und ihre Instrumente unter allen Bedingungen und zu allen Zeiten.
Karl-Heinz Tuschel wurde 1928 geboren und gehört zu den bekannten Namen auf dem Gebiet der wissenschaftlich-fantastischen Literatur. Neben Arbeiten für Kabaretts und Gedichte schrieb er u.a. "Ein Stern fliegt vorbei", "Der purpurne Planet", "Die INsel der Roboter".
Dies ist nach 1989 Karl-Heinz Tuschels erstes Buch.

The Merchants of Light: A Novel of Venice
|
["Marta Maretich"]
| 4.19 | 16 | 4 |
Can human creativity triumph over human destruction?
Germany, 1945. Monuments Man John Skilton arrives in the bombed-out city of Würzburg with orders—and a personal mission—to rescue art from the ravages of war. Among the ruins, he discovers a series of magnificent frescoes that have miraculously survived the devastation. But who painted them? More importantly, how will Skilton save them from total destruction?
The answers will bring him face to face with the Tiepolos: Giambattista, the Venetian painter whose vibrant, witty style catapulted him to fame in the 18th century and made him the most successful painter if his day. And Cecilia, his beautiful, cunning wife, mother to their tribe of talented children and the model for the lush, leonine beauties that appear everywhere in her husband’s works.
Set largely against the background of the Venetian Republic in its final flowering, The Merchants of Light tells the true story of a family that lives, loves and dies by painting. In a narrative underpinned with painstaking research, a cast of historical characters including Casanova, Counsel Joseph Smith and Enlightenment thinker Francesco Algarotti lend their voices to a tale that spans three centuries and reveals the human passion and hard-nosed business dealing that lie just beneath the surface of some of the world’s most heavenly works of art.
With enduring resonance for our own times, The Merchants of Light is also the story of Skilton, the modest curator-turned-soldier whose struggle to save Tiepolo’s masterpiece is itself an act of creativity, one that turns him into a new kind of hero for our times.

Paranormal Trilogy
|
["Kris P. Kreme"]
| 5 | 1 | null |
The Komplete Paranormal trilogy in one collection at a great price! Read the entire series for less than what you would pay individually for the series! The most hauntingly horrific tale ever to be told by the master of kreme is finally komplete. For well over a hundred years, DeLiniac Tower stood, far away from the small town it was a part of, much more massive than any building in that town. A towering structure of such menacing presence, the building saw many stages during its life. Originally constructed by Duncan DeLiniac, the tower housed and rehabilitated the criminally insane, but perhaps Duncan himself was the most insane, for it would take many years for the tower to fulfill its true purpose. After over a hundred years of standing, largely abandoned, falling into disrepair, the power within its walls began to wake first with the construction crews turning it into an office complex. Several women working in data entry on one of the upper floors of the building met this power full force during a fluke storm which rose up in the surrounding mountains. They would soon discover just how twisted DeLiniac Tower can truly be, as well as the full meaning of getting screwed over by your work. Less than a year after the women and what remained of the construction crew vanished, never to be heard from again, DeLiniac Tower was to receive a second course in its never ceasing meal to grow stronger. Two women with the state inspectors never suspected the stories they heard were more than just true about the menacing looking structure in the wooded mountains outside town. Sent to determine whether the renovations should resume or whether DeLiniac Tower should finally be destroyed, they only found the ghostly presence of something within every wall dedicated to destroying them. After resisting the pleasurable paranormal as best they could, these two never saw outside the walls of the tower again. Finally, after much mystery and far too many unexplained disappearances, DeLiniac Tower was quarantined, access cut off but to a select few. Federal agents were sent in to supervise and see how progress was going for an international paranormal investigation team. What they ended up finding was the truth behind Duncan DeLiniac and his legacy. From suspicions concerning demonic activity, ancient rituals, and all things paranormal to the secrets one member of this investigation hides, one thing is certain above all else. DeLiniac Tower has been feeding and only just now is about to wake up and stretch the limits of a paranormal power like no one has ever witnessed before. Proof that the paranormal exists, and its perversity knows no limits, Kris P. Kreme shows what quite possibly may be where the middle initial in his name comes from in all three individual stories compiled together for the first and only time, Paranormal Trilogy.

At Every Breath, A Teaching
|
["Rudite Emir"]
| 4.57 | 7 | null |
Swami Chinmayananda, during his 42 years of teaching, came to be known as one of the most respected teachers of ancient spiritual science called Vedanta. Swamiji expounded that teaching from lecture platforms around the globe, unfolding, verse by verse, the meaning of the major Upanishads, the Bhagavad-gita, and other text of Vedanta. However, his teaching did not stop when he stepped off the lecture platform. In fact, his entire life was a teaching. He taught at every breath. The words he spoke during simple daily transactions or in response to a question served as powerful lessons toward a deeper understanding of self and the world. Even a simple action could become a potential teaching. A look, a word, a small but telling action was all that was needed to divinise the given moment or help the student resolve an inner conflict.This book unfolds the vision of Vedanta through actual accounts of his students' personal encounters with Swamiji. These short vignettes address question such How can I meet the many demands of life without undue stress?* What can I do to hasten my progress on the spiritual journey?* How do I get rid of myself of a negative habit?* How can I succeed in business while staying true to my values?* How can I transcend the limitations of my body, mind, and intellect and rest in pure Consciousness?

Olivia Jane Doe: A Con-Genre Double Feature, the Fiddle Game & Run: "A Getaway Story"

["Dylan Edward Asher"]
| 4.67 | 6 | null |
A "double feature" that follows the exploits of a mysterious, illusive con artist who goes by the name Olivia Jane Doe as she charms, cheats and hustles her through Florida and Mexico. KIRKUS REVIEWS says "it's hard not to root for a character this hilarious and cunning; let's hope she has a few more misadventures in her future."
The Fiddle Game:
A self proclaimed scam artist, Parker thinks he's found the girl of his dreams when he meets the mysterious Olivia Jane Doe. But she's a pro, a real grifter, and getting involved with her in a big job and tricky romance becomes a whirlwind of scams, twists, and cons leading into other cons. Now Parker will try and match wits and put the pieces together, even as she makes it clear, at every step, that she's the one who built the puzzle.
Run- A Getaway Story:
A desolate Mexican town. A job gone bad. And Olivia is the last one left to escape the heat. And not only is she without a plan, but somebody might have a plan for her. In fact, ignorant to the big picture, and to the chain of events that have outpoured from her misplaced actions, she may find herself exactly where they want her to be: One very dangerous step behind.

The legend of the General began when the dead rose up and feasted upon the living. He and his Regulators fought back against the zombies and saved many lives. They also gave hope to a nation when they led a band of survivors out of the city.
Yet, their job wasn’t finished. Not all of the survivors managed to escape, so the Regulators returned to finish the job. Once again, they triumphed despite overwhelming odds.
The General was a hero. He was the greatest warrior ever to walk the face of this earth. Everyone thought he was invincible . . . everyone was wrong.
Now, a new threat has entered the city. A creature both stronger and faster than the General, an unrelenting force without weakness and the two of them are headed on a collision course with the fate of the world hanging in the balance.

["Francis Laveaux"]

This third and final volume of "In the Shadow of the Dragon" takes us into the difficulties of the characters. They are definitely wandering on the boulevard of broken dreams. Erwan multiplies several sentimental adventures and exchanges around Scotch whiskey with his friend Rochester, a Quebec native and descendant of the Scottish clan Mac Neil. As cynic as a businessman can be, Rochester doesn’t hesitate to buy textile produced by the prisoners in the Gansu Laogai. He even dares to paraphrase Vespasian: Money has no honor! Mona will know the failure of her police projects and the beginning of her love for Erwan. The winner is the system that will eventually triumph over all these individual plans. Only to come out eventually Cao Yu who prefers a simple and secluded life in a distant province and the end of the problems that have led her to the Gulag, but that is not what she had dreamed about. Cosmos will meet his fate by the hand of a Tiananmen Square hero. All this leaves a bitter taste and makes it more relevant than ever the sentence attributed to Arnaud Amaury during the sack of Béziers July 22, 1209, "Kill them all, God knows who the believers are."

After a diverse educational background (others would call erratic!) I began studying civil engineering and then realized that it did not suit me at all, I studied Political Science and International Relations at the University of Brussels.I love to travel which has led me to visit a significant part of our planet, favoring the discovery of other people and respect for local cultures. I had the opportunity to discover the United States, China, in most European countries, but also North Africa, a trip that remains almost as a nightmare for me.I worked in many sectors including rural development and education. Since 1996 I work in the social sector, mainly focusing on literacy for low level skilled people. For over ten years I develop European projects in this field.I came late to writing, I should say to the publication of my writings because I feel I have always written. In the Shadow of the Dragon is my first novel.

[...] They were wandering upon the sea for three months, and afterwards came to the isle Ailbey, where they stayed until the middle of January. There is here described a monastery with twenty-four monks, who were fed on miraculously provided bread, and, except the Abbat, never spoke. There is rather a curious description of the church, which was square, with stalls round the walls. It had three altars, all of crystal, as were all the altar vessels, and seven lamps which were lit every evening by a fiery arrow which came in and went out at a window. They left Ailbey, and were carried about on the sea until the beginning of Lent. They then came to an island where there was abundant vegetation, roots, and streams full of fish, but some of the brethren became insensible from one, two, or three days, from drinking the water. I own that this and the remark about the water [...].

{"about":"John Patrick Crichton-Stuart, 3rd Marquess of Bute, KT was a Scottish landed aristocrat, industrial magnate, antiquarian, scholar, philanthropist, and architectural patron.When Bute succeeded to the marquisate at the age of just six months, his vast inheritance reportedly made him the richest man in the world. His conversion to Catholicism from the Church of Scotland at the age of 21 scandalised Victorian society and led Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli to use the Marquess as the basis for the eponymous hero of his novel Lothair, published in 1870. Marrying into one of Britain's most illustrious Catholic families, that of Duke of Norfolk, Bute became one of the leaders of the British Catholic community. His expenditure on building and restoration made him the foremost architectural patron of the 19th century.Lord Bute died in 1900, at the age of 53; his heart was buried on the Mount of Olives in Jerusalem. He was a Knight Grand Cross of the Holy Sepulchre, Knight of the Order of St. Gregory the Great and Hereditary Keeper of Rothesay Castle.","name":"John Patrick Crichton-Stuart, Marquess of Bute","num_books":22,"num_followers":"3"}

A New Beginning (Sumeria's Magi, #1)

["Lexi Ander"]
| 3.87 | 228 | 27 |
Gregori and Juan have been dancing around each other since the fateful day when Juan gave his blood oath to Tristan Janick, and they were both swept up in the chaos that Tristan has brought to their worlds. But dangerous ghosts haunt Gregori and even the fierce, compelling Juan and the pull between them is not enough to override his desire to keep everyone safe by leaving the only place he wants to stay... A New Beginning contains some explicit content. While Books 1 and 2 in the Sumeria's Son series (Twin Flames and Songs of the Earth) contain some world building elements that are not fully explored in this book, it is largely stand alone and can be read out of order with the rest of the series.

A Study of Tinguian Philippine Folk-Lore
|
["Fay-Cooper Cole"]
| 4 | 1 | null |
Excerpt from A Study of Tinguian Philippine Folk-Lore This paper is based on a collection of Philippine folk-tales recently published by the Field Museum of Natural History.1 The material appearing in that publication was gathered by the writer during a stay of sixteen months with the Tinguian, a powerful pagan tribe inhabiting the mountain districts of Abra, Ilocos Sur, and Norte, of Northern Luzon. In social organization, government, manner of house building, and many other details of material culture this tribe differs radically from the neighboring Igorot. Observation has also led me to the conclusion that the religious organization and ceremonies of this people have reached a higher development than is found among the near-by tribes, and that this complexity decreases as we penetrate toward the interior or to the south. In the main the folk-tales are closely associated with the religious beliefs of the present day, and hence it seems unlikely that they will be found, in anything approaching their present form, far outside the districts dominated by this tribe. Nevertheless, isolated incidents corresponding to those of neighboring peoples, or even of distant lands, occur several times. In the following pages an attempt has been made to bring together the culture of this people, as it appears in the myths, and to contrast it to present day conditions and beliefs. In this way we may hope to gain a clearer insight into their mental life, and to secure a better idea of the values they attach to certain of their activities than is afforded us by actual observation or by direct inquiry. It is also possible that the tales may give us a glimpse of the early conditions under which this people developed, of their life and culture before the advent of the European. It should be noted at the outset that no attempt is here made to reconstruct an actual historical period. As will appear later, a part of the material is evidently very old; later introductions - to which approximate dates may be assigned - have assumed places of great importance; while the stories doubtless owe much to the creative imaginations of successive story tellers.

Everland: Nadya's Book of Spring
|
["R.J. Amado"]
| 5 | 3 | 1 |
Spring is in the air for Opal, Sam, Crystal, and Nadya as they continue their year-long journey through a magical world where anything can, and does happen.
When Crystal gets left behind after Opal falls drastically ill; it is left up to Sam to discover whether she can muster up the courage and faith in her own magical gifts needed to confront a world class witch in a winner-takes-all contest for their souls.
Meanwhile, Nadya descends deep into the heart of a technologically advanced Fairy Colony on a mission that becomes far more difficult than anticipated when she is confronted with an unexpected choice: complete her mission and return to the only friends she has ever known; or begin life anew in a world where she is accepted for who she is as she had never been before...within the very Colony that she has been sent to destroy.
R.J. Amado once again invites you to join Opal, Sam, Crystal, and Nadya as they discover that there is a dark side to every fairy tale.

Strangers: and other essays

["Dana Sitar"]
| 4 | 2 | 1 |
I'm not always sure how I end up here each night. I can't usually recall the reason or the drive through town. My memory fades back in about the time I walk into the kitchen, dish up some munchies, and pour a glass of water. But it's never a decision I regret, and each night here makes me want to be around for the next.
It started as a professional relationship, really. I just wanted to write a story about the comedian running for Mayor.
In Dana Sitar's sophomore collection, find the stories gathered and articles published in the midst of the author's journey from a girl with a dream in Wisconsin to a Writer – and someone proud to bear the title – in California (and beyond).
This sequel to Welcome to the Shit Show sees the writer finding her voice, both artistically and emotionally. She leaves her broken life behind her and discovers an unlikely home in the depths of Madison, Wisconsin's comedy scene. In the comedians, Dana finds inspiration for life as an artist, a wealth of stories to write, a part of herself she didn't know she was hiding, and even a new lover.
". . . raw, witty, real life stuff. Dana easily pulled me into the waves of her world--the pain and awkwardness of her divorce, her immersion in the Madison comedy scene, her exploration into new relationships. One minute I was biting my nails; the next I was giggling to myself. . . down-to-earth, real life writing with plenty of entertainment woven in . . ."
- Gathering Leaves Reviews (of the book's original version titled The Hart Compound)
FROM THE AUTHOR
"I carried few traces of a life lived with me to California. I'd shed my marriage in November, stopped going to school by February, ended my lease in April, and quit my job as a video store clerk in May. I packed a suitcase and a few boxes in the car alongside Stefan's pile of the same. We headed out without furniture or dishware, without a home waiting, and without a job but one unpaid internship blogging for a startup.
All I needed in this new life was to write. As long as all roads led to that, the route wouldn't matter."

{"about":"Jim grew up on the shores of western Florida, and he spent much of his childhood swimming in shark-infested waters long before the movie \"Jaws\" put a scare into everyone. At the time, he probably was too skinny to attract a bull shark's attention. About ten other boys Jim's age lived on his same street, and they hung out morning, noon and night playing the usual sports that young boys love — football, baseball, \"kill the carrier,\" etc. — but as a group they also played fantastical games that contained magic, monsters and superheroes. It was in this setting that Jim's imagination was born and nurtured. Jim's latest work is book 1 of a teen fantasy adventure trilogy titled \"Dark Circles,\" which is about a group of kids who are transported to a magical land where it can be deadly to sleep. Book 1 titled \"Do You Believe in Magic?\" is now available on Amazon and officially launched on May 25, 2023. Book 2 titled \"Do You Believe in Monsters?\" will debut on Oct. 30, 2023 and is now available on preorder. Book 3 titled \"Do You Believe in Miracles?\" is set for February 2024. The \"Dark Circles\" series is appropriate for ages 13 and older. This is a great coming-of-age series for fans of J.K. Rowling, Neil Gaiman, and Brandon Sanderson.Jim is the author of \"The Death Wizard Chronicles,\" an action-packed, six-book epic fantasy for mature readers that was published by Bell Bridge Books. Book 1 is titled \"Forged in Death.\" It is followed by \"Chained by Fear,\" \"Shadowed by Demons,\" \"Torn by War,\" \"Blinded by Power\" and \"Healed by Hope.\" Jim also has three short stories related to the series: \"Torg's First Death,\" \"The Black Fortress,\" and \"Rise of the Sun God.\" \"The Death Wizard Chronicles\" is appropriate for ages 18 and older.Jim is also the lead writer and editor for the nonfiction book \"Eclipse Over Clemson: The day Tigertown will never forget,\" which chronicled the Aug. 21, 2017, total solar eclipse that passed over Clemson University.

["Katherine Pine"]
| 3.72 | 394 | 51 |
Poisonous mists settled in the lowlands 17 years ago, rendering ninety percent of the land uninhabitable and killing over half the population. Most blame their misfortune on industrialization or the fey, but some curse Snow White, the princess who was born poisoned.
As the only person who can survive entering the poisoned woods without a gas mask, Snow White has dedicated her life to studying the poison and finding a cure. This obsession draws her deeper into the woods and its secrets, where nothing is as it seems. When Snow White saves a man who should never have been saved, she uncovers an evil more destructive than the poison.

["Yaron Glazer"]
| 3.83 | 12 | 10 |
Logan is having a rough day. He hasn’t slept in weeks, his crew is near mutiny, and his latest project is predicting a massive attack of some sort right here in Shanghai. And all before his morning congee.
The year is 2084. Shanghai is a decaying husk of its former self, an empty city staffed by Party members and an army of scavengers recycling the infrastructure to keep things running. Most of the population now lives inside Zhongguo, a virtual replica of the real world introduced by China as a technological solution to climate change, a fix that lets users cling to their quality of life while meeting strict carbon quotas.
Logan operates a goldfarm between these two worlds, a shelter for refugees who survive by providing unauthorized Zhongguo services to a select clientele. But his fragile sanctuary has been teetering for months, and a new arrival may soon tip them all over the edge.
Statisticity introduces a new kind of reading experience. Powered by Beneath the Ink’s elegant ebook technology, Statisticity features a standalone, novel-length dystopian thriller shorn of the plodding exposition and cumbersome world-building that weigh down many entries in this genre. Throughout the book, highlighted words allow readers to access a third dimension with the tap of a finger, a carefully crafted compendium of interactive maps, wikis, character profiles, short stories, photos, and illustrations hidden beneath the ink. Readers can choose to experience Statisticity as a fast-paced, plot-driven tear through the heart of Shanghai circa 2084, or they can pause to explore the rich world waiting below the surface.

{"about":"In the time before memory there was a boy and he loved to read. He read like it was going out of style, which it was, though he didn’t realize it at the time even though the characters in his sci-fi novels never read books. This boy could read for hours on end, often staying up through the night and only noticing when it was like 6 am and daylight was creeping in under the blinds. He finished all 6 of the Dune books in 3 weeks this way, and all 5 books of the Hitchhiker’s trilogy. That love grew and grew, and soon the boy started reading literary fiction. He chewed through the classics. He had a Russian period. He vowed to finish every book he started. He read Ulysses and Gravity’s Rainbow and Infinite Jest, and then he read them again. There was no other direction his obsession could go. He had to start writing.If you’ve made it this far, I’m just going to go ahead and give away the ending here and confirm that the boy in the story is indeed David Mitchell. Okay, fine, it’s me. But you’ll never guess the rest… Because slowly at first, and then faster and more noticeably, our boy lost his amazing ability to read. He finished Atlas Shrugged and promptly denounced his childish vow to finish every book. He struggled with literary fiction and found himself returning to sci-fi. For twenty years, his head had been bombarded by news and information and movies and all manner of substances. Then social media came along and killed his sickly attention span dead. Don’t get me wrong. I still love getting lost in books. It’s just much harder now, because I don’t have the patience to let authors build their story. Hell, these days I’m proud of myself if I can sit still and read 4 paragraphs without clicking a link or checking my inbox. I need my novels to be instantly engaging. But I also still want them to conjure up fully formed worlds as they drag me through them by the eyeballs. Wouldn’t it be great if some book out there could do both?","name":"Yaron Glazer","num_books":2,"num_followers":"15"}

Beware False Prophets: Our Lady of Fatima and the Mad Catholics

["Graham Willmott"]
| 1 | 1 | null |
The Prophecy of Our Lady of Fatima. On 13 July 1917, three children were startled to find a mysterious figure approaching them as they tended their flock of sheep in pastureland near Fatima in Portugal. Lucia dos Santos and her two cousins Jacinta and Francisco Marto reported seeing what they described as a ‘pretty lady from Heaven’. Lucia said the lady was ‘brighter than the sun, shedding rays of light clearer and stronger than a crystal glass filled with the most sparkling water and pierced by the burning rays of the sun’. Just the sort of description you’d expect from an illiterate ten-year-old shepherd girl. Lucia also claimed the lady had also entrusted her with three important secrets, which she did not reveal until many years later. So, what was this prophecy? What were these secrets and what did they mean to the Catholic Church?

The Wild Longing of the Human Heart: The Search for Happiness and Something More
|
["William Cooney"]
| 5 | 1 | null |
The search for happiness has been an enduring quest for us all. The greatest minds from history--Plato, Aristotle, Epicurus, Rousseau, Kant, Mill, Gandhi, Einstein and many others—all confirm that happiness is the one thing we all crave after. The Wild Longing of the Human Heart is divided into two parts. Part one examines the brief history of happiness which has not always meant exactly the same thing to all cultures and individuals, and then moves on to summarize the latest information from the areas of brain science as well as the field of positive psychology. Part two proposes that it is not happiness (in the psycho-physiological sense of something like tranquility) which is the true goal of human living. Rather, the true goal of the “wild longing” is a meaningful life, guided by the search for truth, beauty and goodness.

CROSSDRAW
The Colt fell the short distance onto the worn carpet and Herne’s body straightened up like a whiplash. But the hand that had dropped the gun didn’t come back up empty. It had the hilt of the bayonet in it and midway through the movement the blade was unleashed across the room. Seth’s mouth stayed open, words drained in mid-sentence; he moved the gun to fire but something plunged its way into his shoulder blade and pinned him to the door. His hand opened in spite of itself and the pistol slipped out.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
John J. McLaglen is the pseudonym for the writing team of Laurence James and John Harvey.
Laurence James began his writing career in 1974 when he published his first novel in the science-fiction series SIMON EARTH LIES SLEEPING. He worked in publishing for ten years off and on till about 1970, when he went to “New English Library and ran the editorial side of NEL for three years.” In addition, around 1974, James published the fantasy saga of Hells Angels in England & Wales in the early 1990s under the name Mick Norman.
While the name of Laurence James is not synonymous with Westerns, those of John J. McLaglen, William M. James and James W. Marvin, to name but a few, are.
John Harvey, a former English and drama school teacher began his contribution to the Herne the Hunter series with the second book, River of Blood. “In the Western,” says John, “I’m interested in finding a balance between the myth of the West (as it comes through American literature and film) and the historical reality. Increasingly, I’m concerned to attempt to make a stronger place for women in the Western, which is traditionally a refuge of masculinity and male fantasy.”
The character of Jed Herne is like a blunt instrument moving through the West. He never achieves happiness, nor riches. Laurence James said, “There is no such thing as a happy western hero. Never. They can’t be. They’ve got to be men alone. They’ve got to be heroes.”

The chemistry between the two is immediate and soon an unlikely romance starts to form. While Death may not be lonely anymore, he isn’t allowed to interact with humans. Consequently, he must make a choice: billions of souls or the one that makes being immortal worth it.

Booklist Top of the List Reference Source
The heir and successor to Eric Partridge's brilliant magnum opus, The Dictionary of Slang and Unconventional English, this two-volume New Partridge Dictionary of Slang and Unconventional English is the definitive record of post WWII slang.
Containing over 60,000 entries, this new edition of the authoritative work on slang details the slang and unconventional English of the English-speaking world since 1945, and through the first decade of the new millennium, with the same thorough, intense, and lively scholarship that characterized Partridge's own work.
Unique, exciting and, at times, hilariously shocking, key features include:
unprecedented coverage of World English, with equal prominence given to American and British English slang, and entries included from Australia, New Zealand, Canada, India, South Africa, Ireland, and the Caribbean
emphasis on post-World War II slang and unconventional English
published sources given for each entry, often including an early or significant example of the term's use in print.
hundreds of thousands of citations from popular literature, newspapers, magazines, movies, and songs illustrating usage of the headwords
dating information for each headword
in the tradition of Partridge, commentary on the term's origins and meaning
New to this edition:
A new preface noting slang trends of the last five years Over 1,000 new entries from the US, UK and Australia New terms from the language of social networking Many entries now revised to include new dating, new citations from written sources and new glosses
The New Partridge Dictionary of Slang and Unconventional English is a spectacular resource infused with humour and learning - it's rude, it's delightful, and it's a prize for anyone with a love of language.
