To solve the crimes, Homicide Inspector Clemson Yao enlists the help of Angie Strachan, a Realtor who once tried--and failed--to become the city's first female homicide inspector. The two face off against a ghoulish, black-humored serial killer who whimsically refers to his grotesque murders as "messies." Gripped by macabre obsession for a decade, he's evolved into a grandmaster of slow, anguished death, roaming the globe to catalog the most despicable methods of execution and keeping his research in dozens of leather-bound notebooks. Clem and Angie slowly unravel the murderer's clues, but their quarry is always one step ahead of them and even an FBI profiler can't help them pin down the twisted mind behind the crimes. It's a desperate race against time, for the killer has an agenda. His next victims are already picked out--and it seems no one can stop him.

Education of a Wandering Man
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: L'Amour, Louis, PUBLISHER: Bantam, From his decision to leave school at fifteen to roam the world, to his recollections of life as a hobo on the Southern Pacific Railroad, as a cattle skinner in Texas, as a merchant seaman in Singapore and the West Indies, and as an itinerant bare-knuckled prizefighter across small-town America, here is Louis L'Amour's memoir of his lifelong love affair with learning--from books, from yondering, and from some remarkable men and women--that shaped him as a storyteller and as a man. Like classic L'Amour fiction, "Education of a Wandering Man" mixes authentic frontier drama--such as the author's desperate efforts to survive a sudden two-day trek across the blazing Mojave desert--with true-life characters like Shanghai waterfront toughs, desert prospectors, and cowboys whom Louis L'Amour met while traveling the globe. At last, in his own words, this is a story of a one-of-a-kind life lived to the fullest... a life that inspired the books that will forever enable us to relive our glorious frontier heritage.

The third section examines the notion of national security from a Canadian context, identifies the distinctly Canadian style of warfare and national defence issues. Part IV explores Canada's role in international spheres-alliance relationships, Cold War participation, involvement in other areas of the globe, and includes a penetrating appraisal of our peacekeeping heritage.

This biography, the most comprehensive and definitive yet published, is also a portrait of Canada during those decades, beginning with Gzowski's days at the University of Toronto's "The Varsity" in the mid s, through his years as the youngest-ever managing editor of "Maclean's" in the s and his tremendous success on CBC's "Morningside" in the s and s, and ending with his stint as a "Globe and Mail "columnist at the dawn of the 21st century and his death in January .

Now all they have to do is get inside the ornament and rescue Daddy. Hopefully, Mommy's in there with him. For heaven's sake, how are they supposed to shrink all of them (plus the cats) down to a size small enough to fit in the globe and then actually get inside it? Of course, through magic or just shear will power--who really knows which--the girls have done quite a few things that, to be honest, they really shouldn't have been able to do. But this seems like asking too much even for these intelligent and talented girls. But the Eights are also a very determined group. Now that they know where Daddy is, they will--and they do--find a way to him. But they never would have guessed what else awaits them inside the snowglobe.

Cardiovascular Genetics for Clinicians
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Doevendans, P. a. / Wilde, A. A. M. / Doevendans, Pieter A., PUBLISHER: Springer, The first edition of Genetics for Clinicians is a handbook to help decision making in cardiovascular patients with a potentially inherited disease.First of all, the basics of molecular cardiology are introduced, followed by contributions of molecular geneticists and clinical geneticists, to show the disciplines involved in DNA diagnostics. Clinicians from around the globe discuss the relevance of genetics for their field of interest covering atherosclerosis, cardiomyopathy and arrhythmias. In addition, some rare but relevant connective tissue diseases are covered.In all the chapters the importance of DNA dianostics are categorized. This varies from the notion that a disease is inherited without information on genetics (Category F), to diseases where the exact location of the molecular defect determines the therapy (Category A). This simple classification is provided for the known inherited diseases to help the physician on how to advise and direct the patients. This is not a textbook for geneticists, but a practical guide for clinicians. In addition, the chapters give insight in etiology, pathophysiology and treatment of inherited cardiovascular diseases. Genetics for Clinicians can be read and used in daily practice without extensive knowledge of molecular cardiology.

The Community Forests of Mexico: Managing for Sustainable
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Bray, David Barton / Merino-Perez, Leticia / Barry, Deborah, PUBLISHER: University of Texas Press, Mexico leads the world in community management of forests for the commercial production of timber. Yet this success story is not widely known, even in Mexico, despite the fact that communities around the globe are increasingly involved in managing their own forest resources. To assess the achievements and shortcomings of Mexico's community forest management programs and to offer approaches that can be applied in other parts of the world, this book collects fourteen articles that explore community forest management from historical, policy, economic, ecological, sociological, and political perspectives. The contributors to this book are established researchers in the field, as well as many of the important actors in Mexico's nongovernmental organization sector. Some articles are case studies of community forest management programs in the states of Michoacan, Oaxaca, Durango, Quintana Roo, and Guerrero. Others provide broader historical and contemporary overviews of various aspects of community forest management. As a whole, this volume clearly establishes that the community forest sector in Mexico is large, diverse, and has achieved unusual maturity in doing what communities in the rest of the world are only beginning to explore: how to balance community income with forest conservation. In this process, Mexican communities are also managing for sustainable landscapes and livelihoods.

The Bohemian Love Diaries: A Memoir
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Coleman, Slash, PUBLISHER: Lyons Press, A compelling coming-of-age tale infused with southern charm, "The Bohemian Love Diaries "chronicles Slash Coleman's upbringing in a warped but loving household of eccentric artists. Descended from a posse of off-beat immigrants--including a grandfather who danced at the Moulin Rouge--and raised in the capital of the Confederacy during the '70s and '80s, young Slash sets out to find true love. Unfortunately, he's his own worst enemy. Obsessions with Evel Knievel, rock band KISS, and a complex addiction to traveling the globe to find the girl of his dreams set him and his quest for happiness on a hapless course. Alternately hilarious and profound, Coleman, a brilliant young artist, comes to terms with his father, a genius sculptor and volatile alcoholic, and his mother, a Holocaust survivor who makes her son promise never to reveal that he's Jewish. A tender, moving portrait emerges of a man whose passionate creative spirit refuses to be suppressed. A swift kick to the funny bone, "The Bohemian Love Diaries" and its laugh-out-loud perversity conjure Jonathan Ames and Augusten Burroughs with a cutting edge that will make you think that Slash was raised in Chuck Palahniuk's attic by John Hodgman. He will leave you howling.
Prime Green: Remembering the Sixties
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Stone, Robert, PUBLISHER: Ecco Press, A memoir of America's most turbulent, whimsical decade, in the words of the man who experienced it all... From the New York City of Kline and De Kooning to the jazz era of New Orleans's French Quarter to Ken Kesey's psychedelic California, "Prime Green" explores the s in all its weird, innocent, fascinating glory. An account framed by two wars, it begins with Robert Stone's last year in the Navy, when he took part in an Antarctic expedition navigating the globe, and ends in Vietnam, where he was a correspondent in the days following the invasion of Laos. Told in scintillating detail, "Prime Green" zips from coast to coast, from days spent in the raucous offices of Manhattan tabloids to the breathtaking beaches of Mexico, and merry times aboard the bus with Kesey and the Pranksters. Building on personal vignettes from Stone's travels across America, this powerful memoir offers the legendary novelist's inside perspective on a time many understand only peripherally. These accounts of the s are riveting not only because Stone is a master storyteller but because he was there, in the thick of it, through all the wild times. From these incredible experiences, "Prime Green" forges a moving and adventurous portrait of a unique moment in American history.
