Mrs. Pargeter's Point of Honour

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Brett, Simon, PUBLISHER: Thomas T. Beeler Publisher, An Alternate Selection of the Mystery Guild The late Mr. Pargeter earned his magnificent living in somewhat dubious--some might even say criminal--ways, but when it came to Mrs. Pargeter and his duty to friends, he was a paragon of virtue. Nothing was too good for them. If they needed help, he was there. So when the widow of one of Mr. Pargeter' colleagues in crime summons her to her stately home to ask for help, Mrs. Pargeter is more than happy to carry on in her late husband's tradition. The task will not be easy. It seems Veronica Chastaigne's husband kept her in style--in a mansion surrounded by master works of art. The only problem is that they were "borrowed" from galleries and collectors around the world. Can Mrs. Pargeter and her late husband's associates return the paintings without getting caught? In a caper worthy of her much lamented husband, Mrs. Pargeter leads a merry chase that is so audacious that it just might work.

A Year's Turning

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Viney, Michael, PUBLISHER: Blackstaff Press, This memorable journal of one year in a remote cottage on the west Irish coast is destined to become a classic of Irish nature writing. For nearly twenty years, Michael Viney's popular column in the Irish Times, "Another Life, " has captured the beauties and mysteries of the natural world in Ireland. This lyrical month-by-month journal affirms his reputation as a uniquely gifted, compassionate, and informed commentator. A Year's Turning chronicles his family's life of self-sufficiency in the country. Viney weaves personal memories and reflections as he observes the effects of one year's passing on the land, animals, and landscape around him, to create a "mosaic of all the years, each month an essay in remembrance." He begins with January and the snow, gale-force winds, and rough seas. Come June, the house "breathes gently, all doors and windows open to whatever breeze there is...besieged by light." Come December, it ends, or begins again, the year's turning. This is the culmination of two decades lived close to land and its creatures.

Big Nate from the Top

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Peirce, Lincoln, PUBLISHER: Andrews McMeel Publishing, "Big Nate," a.k.a. middle schooler Nate Wright, is eleven years old, four-and-a-half feet tall, and the wunderkind creation of cartoonist Lincoln Peirce. Nate is also the star of six novelized books to be published by HarperCollins, the first of which debuted on the "New York Times" children's best-seller list. This "Big Nate Collection" collects Peirce's "Big Nate" strips, originally published only in newspapers. For those not familiar with "Big Nate," think "Diary of a Wimpy Kid" meets "Calvin and Hobbes." Nate is a self-described genius and a sixth-grade Renaissance man equipped with only a #2 pencil and the unshakable belief that he is destined for greatness (a fortune cookie told him so). He fights a daily battle against overzealous teachers, undercooked cafeteria food, and all-around conventionality. He's the original rebel without a clue, alternately abrasive and endearing to classmates and teachers alike. Throughout Peirce's "Big Nate Collection," Nate blazes an unforgettable trail through the sixth grade at P.S. 38, earning straight As in laughs (and numerous detentions) along the way.

Luke - Acts: Understanding the Books of the Bible Study

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Smith, Christopher R., PUBLISHER: Biblica Publishing, This study guide will take individuals or groups through Luke and Acts in 32 sessions that correspond with their natural parts. Readers will discover that these books are actually the two parts of a single story that tells how the community of Jesus followers began with his life and ministry and then spread around the world. The readings and discussion will help them recognize the ways God is still working today and how they can be part of what God is doing. The Understanding the Books of the Bible series helps readers understand the biblical story by not only talking about what the authors wrote, but also how they wrote. Quite often, recognizing whether a passage is poetry, proverb, or history and discerning how the author built his book will unlock its meaning for today's reader. Instead of following artificial chapter and verse divisions, these Bible study guides lead groups through whole books following their natural outlines, and pose engaging questions for discussion and personal application all along the way.

The Power of Kindness: The Unexpected Benefits of Leading a

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Ferrucci, Piero / Ferrucci, Vivien Reid, PUBLISHER: Jeremy P. Tarcher, Piero Ferrucci warns against the dangers of "global cooling." As the pace of living grows faster and the impact of new technologies more insistent, communications become hurried and impersonal. The drive for profit overrides the heart. Warmth and genuine presence fade. "The Power of Kindness" is a stirring examination of a simple but profound concept. Piero Ferrucci, one of the world's most respected transpersonal psychologists, explores the many surprising facets of kindness and argues that it is this trait that will not only lead to our own individual happiness and the happiness of those around us, but will guide us in a world that has become cold, anxious, difficult, and frightening. In eighteen interlocking chapters, Dr. Ferrucci reveals that the kindest people are the most likely to thrive, to enable others to thrive, and to slowly but steadily turn our world away from violence, self-centeredness, and narcissism- and toward love. Writing with a rare combination of sensitivity and intellectual depth, Dr. Ferrucci shows that, ultimately, kindness is not a luxury in our world but rather a necessity for us all.

Sea Sick: The Global Ocean in Crisis

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Mitchell, Alanna, PUBLISHER: Emblem Editions, All life -- whether on land or in the sea -- depends on the oceans for two things: - Oxygen. Most of Earth's oxygen is produced by phytoplankton in the sea. These humble, one-celled organisms, rather than the spectacular rain forests, are the true lungs of the planet. - Climate control. Our climate is regulated by the ocean's currents, winds, and water-cycle activity. Sea Sick is the first book to examine the current state of the world's oceans -- the great unexamined ecological crisis of the planet -- and the fact that we are altering everything about them; temperature, salinity, acidity, ice cover, volume, circulation, and, of course, the life within them. Alanna Mitchell joins the crews of leading scientists in nine of the global ocean's hotspots to see firsthand what is really happening around the world. Whether it's the impact of coral reef bleaching, the puzzle of the oxygen-less dead zones such as the one in the Gulf of Mexico, or the shocking implications of the changing Ph balance of the sea, Mitchell explains the science behind the story to create an engaging, accessible yet authoritative account.

Late Transition Metal Polymerization Catalysis

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Rieger, Bernd / Baugh, Lisa / Kacker, Smita, PUBLISHER: Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH, Even some fifty years after their discovery, transition metals have lost none of their fascination. The use of complex compounds in these elements has not only revolutionized synthesis in the laboratory, but has also led to them playing an important role in many industrial applications. Each year, millions of tons of plastics are produced around the world and, by varying the ligands in the catalytically active compounds, the properties of the resulting polymers can even be tailored for use. For this purpose, sandwich compounds from early transition metals have been common until now, but interest has focused increasingly on the late transition metals. In this book, the world's leading authors from research and industry discuss the latest developments in research into palladium, zinc, iron and nickel catalysis. In so doing, they systematically introduce readers to the basic principles and illustrate how these innovative catalysts can be effectively used for polymerizations. The result is an ideal reference work, invaluable for every organic chemist working in catalysis or polymer research. Acquista Ora
