Off Balance: A Memoir
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Moceanu, Dominique / Williams, Paul / Williams, Teri, PUBLISHER: Touchstone Books, An unflinchingly honest memoir from Olympic gold medalist Dominique Moceanu that reveals the often dark underbelly of Olympic gymnastics as only an insider can--and the secrets she learned about the past that nearly tore apart her family.At fourteen years old, Dominique Moceanu was the youngest member of the U.S. Women's Olympic Gymnastic team, the first and only American women's team to take gold at the Olympics. Her pixie-like appearance, passion for the sport, and ferocious competitive drive quickly earned her the status of media darling. But behind the fame, the flawless floor routines, and the million-dollar smile, her life was a series of challenges and hardships. From her stubborn father and long-suffering mother, to her acclaimed Svengali-like coach, Bela Karolyi, "Off Balance" reveals how each of the dominating characters contributed to Moceanu's rise to the top. Here, Moceanu finally shares the haunting stories of competition, her years of hiding injuries and pain out of fear of retribution from her coaches, and how she hit rock bottom after being publicly scorned by her father. But medals, murder plots, drugs, and daring escapes aside (all of which figure into Moceanu's incredible journey), the most unique aspect of her life is the family secret that Moceanu discovers, opening a new and unexpected chapter in her adult life, just as she reclaims the love of the sport that had defined so much of her life. A multilayered memoir that transcends the world of gymnastics and sport, "Off Balance "will touch anyone who has ever dared to dream of a better life.
An Altar in the World: A Geography of Faith
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Taylor, Barbara Brown, PUBLISHER: HarperOne, In her critically acclaimed "Leaving Church" ("a beautiful, absorbing memoir"--"The Dallas Morning News"), Barbara Brown Taylor wrote about her experience leaving full-time ministryto become a professor, a decision that stretched the boundaries of her faith. Now, in her stunning follow-up, "An Altar in the World," she shares how she learned to encounter God far beyond the walls of the church. Taylor reveals meaningful ways to discover the sacred in the small things we do and see, from simple practices such as walking, working, and prayer. Something as ordinary as hanging clothes on a clothesline becomes an act of meditation if we pay attention to what we're doing and take time to notice the sights, smells, and sounds around us. Making eye contact with the cashier at the grocery store becomes a moment of true human connection. Allowing yourself to get lost leads to new discoveries. As we incorporate these practices into our daily lives, we begin to discover altars everywhere we go, in nearly everything we do. Through Taylor's expert guidance and delicate, thought-provoking prose, we learn to live with purpose, pay attention, slow down, and revere the world we live in.
Double Agent: The Critic and Society
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Dickstein, Morris, PUBLISHER: Oxford University Press, USA, Double Agent is a watershed in the recent revival of interest in the role of the public critic and intellectual who writes about culture, politics, and the arts for an intelligent general audience. Offering acute portraits of critics both famous and neglected, Dickstein traces the evolution of cultural criticism over the last century from Matthew Arnold to New Historicism. He examines the development of practical criticism, the rise and fall of literary journalism, and the growth of American Studies, and rereads the work of critics like Arnold, Walter Pater, I.A. Richards, Roland Barthes, Edmund Wilson, R.P. Blackmur, Lionel Trilling, Alfred Kazin, and George Orwell. In essays and books that are themselves works of literature, these writers made criticism central to the public sphere, balancing social and literary values, politic commitment and aesthetic judgment. Though marginalized or ignored by academic histories of criticism, their example has proved immensely valuable for younger critics eager to find a personal voice and reach a wider public. Dickstein concludes with a lively and provocative dialogue that weighs the claims of recent literary theory and the importance of renewing public culture.
Equinox: Life, Love, and Birds of Prey
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: O'Brien, Dan, PUBLISHER: Lyons Press, The gripping account of one autumn season of falconry and spiritual renewal by award-winning author Dan O'Brien. Dan O'Brien has been consumed with a lifelong passion for falconry. As he approaches his fiftieth birthday, the autumnal equinox of his life, feeling a waning sense of purpose, he decides to devote himself entirely for a season to his greatest loves -- falconry, his bird dogs, and the South Dakota prairie he calls home. He takes on a remarkable falcon chick who immediately distinguishes herself with her ferocity; he names the bird Harley and trains her in the ways of falconry. Harley's powers of flight are awe-inspiring, her hunting success astounding. Like a lover, she captivates him. O'Brien hunts with her obsessively, reveling in her prowess and beauty. And then, one day, she is gone. Set in the high plains of South Dakota, "Equinox" is the chronicle of Harley, and much more: It is the story of a life lived closely to the natural cycles of the earth, and a midlife revelation of the importance of staying connected to all things held dear. Lovers of nature and fine writing, and all those facing their own personal autumns, will relish this marvelous book.
Angels at the Table: A Shirley, Goodness, and Mercy
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Macomber, Debbie, PUBLISHER: Random House Large Print, In this joyous and whimsical holiday novel, #1 "New York Times" bestselling author Debbie Macomber rings in the season with laughs, love, and a charming dose of angelic intervention. Shirley, Goodness, and Mercy know that an angel's work is never done, especially not during such a wondrous time as New Year's Eve. With an apprentice angel, Will, under their wings, they descend upon Times Square in New York City eager to join in the festivities. And when Will spies two lonely strangers in the crowd, he decides midnight is the perfect time to lend a heavenly helping hand. Lucie Farrara and Aren Fairchild meet after bumping into each other--seemingly by accident--in Times Square on New Year's Eve. They immediately hit it off and find they have a lot in common: Lucie is a burgeoning chef and Aren is a respected food critic. But just as quickly as they're brought together, another twist of fate tears them apart, leaving Lucie and Aren with no way to reconnect. A year later, Lucie is the head chef of an acclaimed new restaurant and Aren is a successful columnist for a major New York newspaper. For all the time that's passed, the two have not forgotten their one serendipitous evening--and neither have Shirley, Goodness, Mercy, and Will. To reunite the young couple, the angels cook up a brilliant plan: mix true love, a second chance, and a generous sprinkle of mischief to create an unforgettable Christmas miracle.

The Farm
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: McKay, Emily, PUBLISHER: Berkley Publishing Group, Life was different in the Before: before vampires began devouring humans in a swarm across America; before the surviving young people were rounded up and quarantined. These days, we know what those quarantines are--holding pens where human blood is turned into more food for the undead monsters, known as Ticks. Surrounded by electrical fences, most kids try to survive the Farms by turning on each other... And when trust is a thing of the past, escape is nearly impossible. Lily and her twin sister Mel have a plan. Though Mel can barely communicate, her autism helps her notice things no one else notices--like the portion of electrical fence that gets turned off every night. Getting across won't be easy, but as Lily gathers what they need to escape, a familiar face appears out of nowhere, offering to help... Carter was a schoolmate of Lily's in the Before. Managing to evade capture until now, he has valuable knowledge of the outside world. But like everyone on the Farm, Carter has his own agenda, and he knows that behind the Ticks is an even more dangerous threat to the human race...

Swing!: A Scanimation Picture Book
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Seder, Rufus Butler, PUBLISHER: Workman Publishing, Published last fall, "Gallop " introduced the amazing technology called Scanimation and took the children's book world by storm. It became an instant bestseller--#1 on The New York Times children's list. Now "Swing " does for kids what "Gallop " does for animals--a boy rides a bike, a girl kicks her soccer ball, a swimmer cuts through the water, and a skater pirouettes on ice. The effect is joyous, magical, mesmerizing, and taps into the the endless fascination that children find in watching other children. The second book created by Rufus Butler Seder, the inventor, artist, and filmmaker who developed Scanimation out of his obsession with antique optical toys and other pre-motion-picture illusions, "Swing " uses "persistence of vision" and a patented state-of-the-art multiphase animation process to create astonishment. There is nothing else like this unique, patented technology that literally inspires wonder. The images burst with activity, and adding greatly is a happy, rhyming text that captures in words the pure energy of the figures in motion. You can't put it down.

Three Divine Works
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Maloney, Sharon, PUBLISHER: PublishAmerica, There are many simple treasures in life. Happiness is one of them and, in my opinion, is the ultimate goal for many people who seek after it. Three Divine Works is a book where you can discover what creates happy feelings and how to achieve this. The main themes are spirituality and inspirational thought. Both of these ideas bring about happiness in different ways. Having a spiritual goal can be helpful in finding peace or structure in your life. Believing in God, for example, can be a beneficial approach to coping with stress, or other issues that seem too complicated or confusing to handle by yourself. Looking for a spiritual solution might be the answer, and when a bad situation works out, happiness results. My poetry will leave you with a lasting impression and a happy note concerning your feelings and special desires that make life so interesting that you want to see more each day. The stars above and the rainbow after the rain has come are indeed a part of nature and the big scheme of things that inspire, delight, and capture your heart I have also written poems about my experiences while traveling, meeting people, and becoming a writer.
Daniel O'Connell
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Moley, Raymond, PUBLISHER: Fordham University Press, Daniel O'Connell, as we bring him into focus, after generations of bitter criticism, misrepresentation, and neglect, becomes a very modern man. The principles which he held with such consistency and expounded with such consummate eloquence are, by modern standards, enlightened, even prescient. They are wholly pertinent questions which are of deep concern to all of us. The reader of history will perceive that the span of O'Connell's life, , witnessed profound changes in political arrangements, in power structures, and in national boundaries in the Western world. One of the more important of these developments has been the growth of nationalism, not only here but throughout the world. As the national consciousness affected Ireland, it cannot be interpreted, even understood, except as it was awakened by O'Connell. He entered public life as an opponent of the Act of Union of , a measure which was to infect British relations with Ireland for a century and a quarter.O'Connell earned and held in the Western world high rank among the individuals who promoted religious liberty and separation of Church and State, cardinal principles in the American tradition. Since the first half of his public life was devoted to the restoration of Catholic rights, he realized that he could not rationally insist upon rights for his fellow communicants which he would deny to others. His concept of true religion was of something lived wholly apart from interference or support by civil authority. As we shall see, he carried his zeal for religious liberty to the support of the Jews in their struggle to life the disabilities imposed by English law.

"This book provides a language for the architecture of everyday life."--Ross Miller, "Chicago Tribune" "Spirited observations and capsule histories."--Suzanne Stephens, "New York Times Book Review" "Compelling.... Included here are many nuggets of insight and illumination."--Brad Knickerbocker, "Christian Science Monitor" "An amusing and touching book about the reality we Americans have captured in our language."--"Boston Sunday Globe"
