Bad Monkey
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Hiaasen, Carl, PUBLISHER: Knopf, Carl Hiaasen is back doing what he does best: spinning a wickedly funny, fiercely pointed tale in which the greedy, the corrupt, and the degraders of pristine land in Florida--now, in the Bahamas too--get their comeuppance in mordantly ingenious, diabolically entertaining fashion. Andrew Yancy--late of the Miami Police, soon-to-be-late of the Key West Police--has a human arm in his freezer. There's a logical (Hiaasenian) explanation for that, but not for how and why it parted from its owner. Yancy thinks the boating-accident/shark-luncheon explanation is full of holes, and if he can prove murder, his commander might relieve him of Health Inspector duties, aka Roach Patrol. But first Yancy will negotiate an ever-surprising course of events--from the Keys to Miami to a Bahamian out island--with a crew of equally ever-surprising characters, including: the twitchy widow of the frozen arm; an avariciously idiotic real estate developer; a voodoo witch whose lovers are blinded-unto-death by her particularly peculiar charms; Yancy's new love, a kinky medical examiner; and the eponymous Bad Monkey, who earns his place among Hiaasen's greatest characters with hilariously wicked aplomb.

Edith Wharton's Dialogue with Realism and Sentimental
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Hoeller, Hildegard, PUBLISHER: University Press of Florida, Arguing against the prevailing view of Edith Wharton as a realist writer, Hildegard Hoeller opens up the Wharton canon by finding the "real" Wharton in the writer's sentimental voice and in her critique of realism. With this focus on a blind spot in Wharton criticism, Hoeller demonstrates that the celebrated American writer created a dialogue between the two literary traditions. Most analyses of Wharton's work describe her early triumph as a realist and then her decline in the s into sentimental fiction. Instead, Hoeller examines important sentimental moments in Wharton's "realist" masterpieces and finds realism in the sentimental "minor" work (including the undervalued novel, The Mother's Recompense). Hoeller shows that Wharton used the sentimental voice both to express the truth of female desire and to express her critique of male realism. In this, Wharton is shown to be fully in control of her art from the beginning to the end of her career. Using Wharton as a case study, Hoeller maintains that the ongoing argument about the value of American sentimental fiction could benefit by seriously considering sentimental aesthetics. Only then, she says, will the term sentimental cease to be a label for inferior, female, and popular fiction and become a serious literary concept. This innovative book will be of interest to scholars of 19th- and 20th-century American fiction as well as feminist scholars and those interested in the ongoing debate about the American literary canon.
MEDUSA di clive cussler
romanzo in ottime condizioni, letto una volta, copertina semirigida a colori illustrata. Pagine perfette. Ed. Tea La giovane e bellissima dottoressa Song Lee è un'esperta virologa, che ha pagato a caro prezzo il suo desiderio di trasparenza e verità durante l'epidemia di Sars. Non ha rispettato l'ordine di segretezza impartito dal governo di Pechino, e per questo è stata allontanata, segregata a fare il medico generico in una remota provincia della Repubblica Popolare. Ma un tragico evento la richiama al centro della scena: un virus ancora più terribile sta minacciando il mondo, e Cina e Usa hanno unito gli sforzi per trovare un vaccino. Condotta in Florida, la dottoressa Lee partecipa a ricerche febbrili che sono la sola speranza di evitare una pandemia: proprio dal mare, dai suoi abitanti più antichi e misteriosi, le meduse, potrebbe venire la salvezza, come sembrano testimoniare persino alcune leggende. Le fasi finali della ricerca si tengono in un laboratorio segretissimo, nascosto nelle profondità dell'oceano Pacifico. Un laboratorio che però scompare misteriosamente nel nulla, così come tutti i ricercatori che ci lavorano. Solo Kurt Austin e i suoi amici della numa possono, forse, rintracciarlo, mettere in salvo gli scienziati e impedire la catastrofe. La sfida, però, questa volta è quasi impossibile: il nemico da combattere ha molte facce, ed è molto, forse troppo pericoloso e difficile da scovare...
Best Dives of the Western Hemisphere
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Huber, Joyce / Huber, Jon, PUBLISHER: Hunter Publishing (NJ), Each title in this series is a bestseller. But perhaps that's not surprising. The books take a unique approach for divers, combining the best aspects of a great dive-only guide and mixing them with the travel information you need. The focus is definitely on things to see below the waves, with top dive and snorkel sites described in detail and ranked for visual excellence. Sites include shipwrecks, coral walls and reefs, blue holes, underwater trails and even sunken planes. An ability rating helps you determine the right sites for your skill level. Every spot is shown on island maps. What makes the books unique is the amount of information for landlubbers (or divers that have to rest for the day), including local museums, jeep excursions, historic forts and more. The authors -- both experienced divers -- provide a selection of diver-friendly resorts, hotels and live-aboards that offer tank refills, boat rentals, on-site certification, equipment rentals or night dives. Restaurants are also given. An extensive "Facts" section at the end of each area profile gives easy-to-read travel info -- climate, clothing, vaccination requirements, transportation and Customs -- as well as the location of the nearest decompression chamber. Extensive coverage of the Florida Keys, California, Hawaii, Bermuda, Caymans, Cozumel, the Galapagos Islands, Caribbean islands, Brazil and Belize.
Hiking Washington's History
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Bentley, Judy, PUBLISHER: University of Washington Press, "Hiking Washington's History" reveals the stories embedded in Washington's landscape. This trail guide narrates forty historic trails, ranging from short day hikes to three or four-day backpacking trips over mountain passes. Every region in the state is included, from the northwesternmost tip of the continental United States at Cape Flattery to the remote Blue Mountains in the southeast. Each chapter begins with a brief overview of the region's history followed by individual trail narratives and historical highlights. Quotes from diaries, journals, letters, and reports, as well as contemporary and historic photographs, describe sites and trails from Washington's past. Each trail description includes a map and provides directions, so hikers can follow the historic route. Judy Bentley tells readers how to get there, what to expect, and what to look for. Despite Washington State's rapid growth, a remarkable number of historic trails have been preserved in national parks, restored by cities and towns, returned to public use by the railroads, or opened to hikers by Native American tribes. Some trails, such as the Iron Goat Trail, have been fully restored and interpreted. Others, such as the Naches Pass Trail, have been abused but survive. Some are easily accessible, such as the Duwamish River Trail in Seattle and the Spokane House trails near Spokane. Others, such as Chief Joseph's Summer Trail, require a half-day journey just to reach the trailhead. "Hiking Washington's History" is for hikers, amateur historians, newcomers unfamiliar with the state's history, and Northwest natives who know only part of that history. Savor the vicarious experience of a hike from a cozy chair on a rainy winter day, or put your boots on and hit the trail when the sun shines. Judy Bentley, who teaches at South Seattle Community College, is an avid hiker and the author of fourteen books for young adults. "This book samples the landscape and history of the entire state, and is well organized, well researched, and well written. Its pages add a new dimension to hikes by linking our footfalls with those of the past." -Ruth Kirk
Natural Experiments: Ecosystem-Based Management and the
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Layzer, Judith A., PUBLISHER: MIT Press (MA), Scholars, scientists, and policymakers have hailed ecosystem-based management (EBM) as a remedy for the perceived shortcomings of the centralized, top-down, expert-driven environmental regulatory framework established in the United States in the late s and early s. EBM entails collaborative, landscape-scale planning and flexible, adaptive implementation. But although scholars have analyzed aspects of EBM for more than a decade, until now there has been no systematic empirical study of the overall approach. In "Natural Experiments, " Judith Layzer provides a detailed assessment of whether EBM delivers in practice the environmental benefits it promises in theory. She does this by examining four nationally known EBM initiatives (the Balcones Canyonlands Conservation Program in Austin, Texas, the San Diego Multiple Species Program, the Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan, and the California Bay-Delta Program) and three comparison cases that used more conventional regulatory approaches (Arizona's Sonoran Desert Conservation Plan and efforts to restore Florida's Kissimmee River and California's Mono Basin). Layzer concludes that projects that set goals based on stakeholder collaboration, rather than through conventional politics, are less likely to result in environmental improvement, largely because the pursuit of consensus drives planners to avoid controversy and minimize short-term costs. Layzer's resolutely practical focus cuts through the ideological and theoretical arguments for and against EBM to identify strategies that hold genuine promise for restoring the ecological resilience of our landscapes.

Contenuto: (dalla quarta di copertina) Quel giorno nella calura estiva della Florida, Lucille Hanson aveva attraversato una striscia di sabbia per raggiungere la frescura del lago nascosto nella boscaglia. Si era sbarazzata dell'uomo sbagliato, il ricco marito che viveva per pigrizia, e si era allontanata dal putrido calderone dei parties, delle bravate fatue, delle pupe docili, delle coppie interscambiabili. Aveva trovato un altro uomo, e sperava fosse quello giusto, decisa a non ripetere gli errori che avevano quasi distrutta: ma le sue speranze si erano spente sul fondo del lago. Tutti parlarono di incidente, qualcuno di suicidio. Una sola persona, tra chi accompagnava il feretro, sapeva che l'avevano uccisa, che era la prima vittima di una volontà spietata. (...).

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Malory, Thomas / Armstrong, Dorsey, PUBLISHER: Parlor Press, Dorsey Armstrong provides a new, Modern English translation of the MORTE DARTHUR that portrays the holistic and comprehensive unity of the text as a whole, as suggested by the structure of Caxton's print, but that is based primarily on the Winchester Manuscript, which offers the most complete and accurate version of Malory's narrative.

Wiregrass Country
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: McGregory, Jerrilyn / Montell, William Lynwood, PUBLISHER: University Press of Mississippi, Wiregrass (Aristida stricta) refers to a genus of flora that depends on fire ecology for germination. Although its growth is widespread from the Chesapeake Bay to the eastern brim of Texas, only one region has acquired the word for vernacular recognition. Ranging over parts of three states, Wiregrass Country extends from north of Savannah, sweeps across rolling meadows into the southwest Georgia coastal plain, fans over into the southeastern corner of Alabama, and dips into the northwestern panhandle of Florida. This book is the first comprehensive study of the folklife of this unique region and its people. Historically underpopulated, economically poor, and predominantly white until the Reconstruction period following the Civil War, Wiregrass Country is a rare stretch of the American South whose economic and cultural development has been shaped more by yeoman farming and frontier attitudes than by King Cotton, plantations, slave-holders, and slaves. Eventually, Wiregrass Country experienced a more diverse influx of residents -tenant farmers, African Americans, and northern industrialists. In many ways, however, it has remained characteristically rural. Few malls have invaded it, and high watertowers are more prevalent than stately court houses and city halls. This study typifies the population within the tristate region as communal-minded, frugal, and hardworking. Its values gain full expression in characteristic musical and verbal arts, such as Sacred Harp singing and personal narratives about the supernatural. Although virtually neglected by historians and folklorists, the region is a trove of cultural history preserved in folktales, music, festivals, yardscapes, hunting, andfishing.

The American Pacific: From the Old China Trade to the
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Dudden, Arthur Power, PUBLISHER: Oxford University Press, USA, In , the United States was scarcely more than a strip of seaports, inland towns, and farms along the Atlantic coast--and already the China trade had begun, as the Empress of China sailed into Canton. From this small beginning, an American empire in the Pacific grew until it engulfed Alaska, Hawaii, the Philippines, and hundreds of small islands. With World War II, U.S. power advanced further, into China, Japan, Korea, and Southeast Asia--where it was finally halted. Today American influence continues to ebb, as Japanese economic supremacy mounts and Manila forces the U.S. to dismantle its bases. In The American Pacific, Arthur Dudden provides a sweeping account of how the U.S. built (and lost) a vast empire in the ocean off our west coast. Opening with a fascinating account of the early China trade, Dudden provides a region-by-region history of the Pacific basin. What emerges is the story of how American commercial interests evolved into territorial ambitions, with the aquisitions of Alaska, Hawaii, and the Philippines, and finally into far-reaching efforts to project American power onto the shores of mainland Asia. Dudden's vivid narrative teems with the dynamic individuals who shaped events: William Seward, the Senator and Lincoln's Secretary of State who was driven by a vision of American dominion in the Pacific; Kamehameha I, the Hawaiian conqueror who tried to bring his kingdom into the modern world; William Howard Taft, who as the first governor-general of the Philippines built the institutions of American rule; Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto, the architect of Japan's attacks on Pearl Harbor and Midway Island; and of course General Douglas MacArthur, whose immensely influential career spanned supreme command of the pre-war Philippine army, the Allied occupation forces in Japan, and the U.N. forces in Korea. Dudden brings the story up to date, reviewing the war in Vietnam, the aftermath of Tiananmen Square, the triumph of the Pacific rim economies, and the tremendous impact of Asian immigration on American society. Since the days when Commodore Perry sailed his black ships to open feudal Japan, the histories of the American republic and the peoples of the Pacific have been closely intertwined. Dudden seamlessly blends developments in domestic politics, military campaigns, commercial trends, and international relations, providing the first comprehensive overview of this critically important region.
Maddie's Great Adventure
ISBN: , SKU: , PUBLISHER: Trafford Publishing, Taking your first trip away from home can be a scary thing to do, especially if you're a pug puppy named Maddie, and there's a hurricane on the way Maddie's Great Adventure is the true story of how a pug from New York gets on a plane with her parents and flies to Florida for a sunny vacation. She is fearful at first, but Maddie quickly finds exciting things to see, smell, and do in this unusual place. As soon as her paws hit the warm cement, her curly tail starts wagging, and she feels the breeze on her whiskers. No sooner than she begins to enjoy the palm trees and colorful bugs, dark clouds and thunder blanket the sky. Hurricane Charley is what Maddie hears, as she and her family spend the next day indoors. There's lightning and more water than most pugs ever see, and then the electricity goes out. Her Dad has to light candles, and Maddie tries barking at the noises outside. All she really wants to do is to go home to her favorite bed. When Maddie awakes the next morning, she is surprised at what she sees: a break in the clouds, birds chirping, and finally the sun Hurricane Charley is gone. With not a cloud in sight, she flies back home to New York, bringing her vacation and her adventure to an end. Maddie will always remember her great adventure. No one ever knows how the wind will blow, but Maddie learns that listening, being brave, and staying near the ones you love will help you weather any kind of storm.

Romanzo eBook science fantasy "Gli Dei del Pozzo"
Libro disponibile nei più diffusi formati digitali (Amazon Kindle, Kobo, ecc.) TRAMA "Niente è eterno, eccetto gli Dei e le tribolazioni degli uomini." Scott Herby - giovane statunitense che si sta perdendo in traffici di droga e armi per conto del Cartello messicano del Golfo, sulla rotta marittima caraibica tra il Belize e la Florida - non sa ancora che quella frase, pronunciata da una sacerdotessa sassone agli inizi del IX secolo dopo Cristo, in una terra già sconvolta dalla violenza delle truppe franche di Carlo Magno impegnate nella conquista della Saxonia, cambierà per sempre il corso della sua vita e la storia dell'Umanità, travolgendo il suo mondo, l'antico Emirato iberico di al-Andalus, il Regno franco e i possedimenti nordici di Sassoni, Danesi e Frisoni. Lo imparerà con fatica e dolore in un'impresa epica di cui mai si sarebbe aspettato di essere protagonista. Amori, fedi e superstizioni, potenti sette religiose medievali, interessi dinastici e le fragilità umane porteranno vigliacchi ed eroi, uomini del passato e del presente, vecchi e bambini a unire le forze per contrastare l'espansione del sovrannaturale Pozzo, insinuatosi nel mondo, e a confrontarsi con l'Intelligenza oscura che vi si annida, mentre ciò che è stato si sgretola sotto il peso di ciò che avrebbe potuto essere. I popoli pregano, il vero potere delle rune è liberato, gli Universi collidono, Tempo e Spazio si annullano in preparazione di una battaglia finale con il Destino, in un romanzo di azione e mistero, orrore e misticismo.

When Philosophers Were Kings (Hardcover)
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Best, S. M. / Best, Steven M., PUBLISHER: Sunstone Press, As the Confederacy celebrates its victory over Fort Sumter, Socrates Best and his wife, Ellen, are living in Northeast Texas where Socrates has been teaching school for five years. Educated in the philosophy of Plato and the religion of Knox, Socrates hopes to ignore the war and continue developing ruler guardians who will help make Texas great. But two former students, Buck Malneck and Billy Morse, seize this chance to put their former teacher to the test. Join the conflict or hang--those are their demands. Meanwhile, a thousand miles to the north stands Socrates' cousin Swift. Raised with Plato's Republican philosophies, but steeped in the passionate abolitionism of the Northern Methodists, Swift leaves law school to be part of the Second Wisconsin Infantry Regiment. Portage City explodes with joy as they send Swift's company off to war, but all the well wishing in the world could never prepare Swift for what awaits him at Bull Run. Amidst the revelry, Socrates' youngest brother, Ed, watches with bated breath. This crowd will one day cheer him, he decides, and everyone will know that he is finally a man. Fighting with the Army of the Cumberland across the Southeast, he will learn there is a far greater challenge in life then being a man--staying alive. This novel is based on the true story of a Wisconsin family caught up in the American Civil War, but it is also the story of the multidimensional human soul--spiritual, philosophical, and physical--and how it is affected by war. It is the story of man's ability to love, endure, survive, and find a meaningful purpose for life in a world turned upside down with hate.STEVEN M. BEST is a former military intelligence analyst, and retiredchiropractor. After being given an extensive letter written by his great grandmother detailing the family's experiences during the war, Best spent seven and a half years researching and writing his family story. He has visited every village and battlefield presented in this novel from Big Spring and Portage, Wisconsin, in the North, to Dangerfield, Texas, in the South; and from Perryville, Indian Territory (present day Oklahoma) and Devil's Backbone in the West; to Perryville, Kentucky and Chickamauga at Fort Oglethorpe, Georgia, in the East.
Crows on the Cross
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Tallman, Kristy, PUBLISHER: Realm of Insanity Press, Two lovers wake up a thousand miles apart, each in a red Cadillac that may or may not be an evil spirit on wheels. Rainey, a pill popping alcoholic who suffers from her own traumatic personal hell, has no clue where the one person who has ever loved her has gone to. Drew, a quiet, dark and mysterious man who harbors truths untold, finds comfort in the shadow of Rainey's love - but even her love can't quiet the demons that haunt him. Each of them start on an odyssey to find each other, and it doesn't take long to realize they have ventured out onto Hell's Highway rather than Interstate I-95 between Florida and Virginia. Haunted by ghosts and memories buried deep beneath the surface, horrors and revelations unfold as the miles click down and they speed toward each other through a day and night of fevered delirium. Drew's convinced Rainey's dead - but is she? Rainey knows Drew would never leave her, not without a goodbye, so where the hell is he and why can't she find him? Perhaps Rainey's not dead and Drew's delusions are skewed...it's possible Rainey has finally reached the brink of her own sanity and teeters on the edge. Anything's possible, especially when both of them are behind the wheel of that Cadillac. Climb behind the helm with them if you dare, as tortured and violent lives are peeled away with each passing mile marker...toward a reunion that may be loving or cataclysmic.
Amazing Prophecies Being Fulfilled
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Rogers, Herb, Jr., PUBLISHER: Xulon Press, Herb Rogers has been in full time ministry for over 50 years as the senior pastor in churches in Colorado, California and Florida. During his ministry Bible prophecy has been a frequent topic in his preaching. This book is a compilation of decades of intense study in the area of Biblical signs of the times. The signs of the times found in Scripture are startling in number when viewed together. They stand as proof that our generation is witnessing events that have never happened in all of recorded history. Jesus said that we would know that the end of the age is near when these signs all occur at the same time. The thing that makes this study amazing is that all of the hundreds of things predicted in God's Word are not only presently happening, but they are increasing in intensity and number as we rush toward the final fulfillment of all things. The book will name each sign individually, give the scripture verses that predicted it and then share articles from magazines, books, etc. that substantiate the progress of each sign in our present world. Even the unsaved are aware that the world seems to be moving toward some sort of a climax.It appears that the world has entered an era of dramatic and ominous change. At the present moment the planet is in severe crisis. In we saw bank failures, the stock market crash, and bailouts of all sorts. Unemployment has soared, foreclosures of homes have been epic in scope, and businesses are closing by the thousands, including some of the largest stores in America. What does it all mean? This book presents an awesome answer to this question.
North Vietnam and the Pathet Lao: Partners in the Struggle
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Langer, Paul / Zasloff, Joseph, PUBLISHER: Harvard University Press, Laos is a major arena of international confrontation despite the Geneva Accords of . Yet there is a dearth of published material on Laos, and the crucial issue of North Vietnam's role in that country has hardly been examined. This important study illuminates the North Vietnamese-Pathet Lao partnership, an understanding of which is so critical to the search for peace in Indochina. The authors reconstruct dispassionately the politics of the Lao revolution since its beginning after the Second World War. Focusing on North Vietnam's past and present role in Laos they trace the origins, evolution, organization, and leadership of the Pathet Lao organization. They demonstrate that the war in Laos is really three wars--Vietnamese traditional attempts to assert hegemony over regions of Laos important to North Vietnam's security; an extension of the struggle in South Vietnam; and a civil war between Lao Communists and anti-Communists. They show that Hanoi's active role springs from its interest in protecting its borders, gaining access to South Vietnam, and establishing a politically congenial regime in Laos. They conclude that the Viet Minh were a key factor in the genesis of the Pathet Lao and that the Vietnamese have continued to provide guidance and vital assistance to the revolutionary organization which now controls a significant portion of the country. On the other hand, the authors point out that the Pathet Lao share common interests with the North Vietnamese Communists and that, from their own perspective, they have not compromised their legitimacy as a nationalist movement by their heavy dependence on Hanoi. Langer and Zasloff, experienced analysts of Southeast Asian affairs, conducted extensive field research in Laos. They interviewed a wide variety of persons with intimate knowledge of the Lao Communist movement, including former Pathet Lao and North Vietnamese military and civilian personnel. They talked with Lao, in and out of the Government, who had gone to school with their future Lao or Vietnamese adversaries, were linked to them by family ties, had been in the same political camp, or had confronted them at the conference table. They interviewed specialists on Laos and Vietnam, among them scholars, journalists, officials of international agencies, and foreign government officials. They examined a range of internal Pathet Lao and North Vietnamese documents diaries, letters, party directives, and training guides, as well as textbooks, newspapers, propaganda leaflets, and general literature. They studied Pathet Lao, Vietnamese, Thai, Cambodian, Chinese, and Soviet radio broadcasts and consulted printed materials about Laos from Hanoi, Peking, and Moscow.
