Desperate and on the run, Tille finds herself in an uneasy partnership with Graeme McLeod, a daring adventurer who comes out of nowhere to thwart the Tuareg's attempt to kidnap her.

Robertson Davies: A Portrait in Mosaic

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Ross, Val, PUBLISHER: Emblem Editions, National bestseller and a "Globe and Mail" Best Book A fascinating, larger-than-life character, Davies left a treasure trove of stories about him when he died in -- expertly arranged here into a revealing portrait. From his student days onward, Robertson Davies made a huge impression on those around him. He was so clearly bound for a glorious future that some young friends even carefully preserved his letters. And everyone remembered their encounters with him. Later in life, as a world-famous writer, perhaps Canada's pre-eminent man of letters (who "looked like Jehovah"), he attracted people eager to meet him, who also vividly remembered their meetings. So when Val Ross set out in search of people's memories, she was faced with a wonderful embarrassment of riches. The one hundred or so contributors here range very widely. There are family memories, of course, and memories from colleagues in the academic world who knew him as a professor and the founding master of Massey College at the University of Toronto. Predictably, there are other major writers like Margaret Atwood and John Irving. Less predictably, there are people from the world of Hollywood, such as Norman Jewison and David Cronenberg (who remembers Davies on-set, peering through a camera lens as he researched his newest novel). And we even hear from his barber, and from his gardener, Theo Henkenhaf. Some speakers contribute just a lively paragraph; others several pages. Yet all of them, through the magic of Val Ross's art, help to create an intriguing, full-colour portrait of a complex man beloved by millions of readers around the world.

Peter Ruff and the Double Four

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Oppenheim, E. Phillips, PUBLISHER: 1st World Library, The whole epitome of modern life was, he argued, to be found among the columns of the daily press. The police news, perhaps, was his favourite study, but he did not neglect the advertisements. It followed, therefore, as a matter of course, that the appeal of "M" in the personal column of the Daily Mail was read by him on the morning of its appearance - read not once only nor twice - it was a paragraph which had its own peculiar interest for him.

a la Cart: The Secret Lives of Grocery Shoppers

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Carlip, Hillary / Green, Barbara, PUBLISHER: Virgin Books, A comic original in the tradition of Tracey ullman and lily Tomlin--with cindy Sherman's eye-- Hillary carlip creates america's most unforgettable grocery shoppers. It's happened to all of us--we find, tucked away in the corner of our shopping cart, someone's discarded grocery list. It first happened to Hillary Carlip when she was a teenager, and she's been wondering to whom the lists belonged ever since. Who's the person buying "Leche, Panpers, and Chanpu"? Or "Whole milk, heavy cream, Ice cream, cheese, and Gas-Ex ()"? Why would someone need to write down "Coors and Oreos" on a matchbook cover--couldn't he just remember those two items? And what's the person like who scrawled their list on a PROZAC notepad? Taking her clues from the items listed, the types of paper written on, the handwriting, and even misspellings ("Aunt Spray"), Hillary saw that each list--at once mundane and personal--offered an intimate peek into a complete stranger's life. She picked twenty-six lists and imagined who the shoppers might be. She next transformed herself into all twenty-six people, one by one, literally stepping into each character--all ages, genders, and ethnicities--with hair, make-up, outfits, and one Fu Manchu. Photographer Barbara Green then captured unforgettable images of Hillary portraying these shoppers at their neighborhood markets. Hillary came to love these characters, so her accompanying stories for each are as poignant and hilarious as the photographs. She brings to life richly imagined inner worlds, including one for macho Woody, a self-described "Lady's Man with NO BANKRUPTCIES ready to meet just one Special Lady with NO KIDS." After getting to know these grocery shoppers through Miss Carlip's dedicated voyeurism, going to the market will never be the same.

"Tupac: Resurrection" captures, as never before, his boundless passion, searing honesty, and stunning intelligence, and showcases a range of never-before-seen writings, letters, screenplay ideas, lyrics, poems, photographs, and personal effects, and stands as an indelible testament to the artist's astonishing cultural legacy. "Tupac: Resurrection" crystallizes the enduring significance and impact of one of the most complex, haunting, and influential artists of our time.

Lost in Transition: Ethnographies of Everyday Life After

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Ghodsee, Kristen Rogheh, PUBLISHER: Duke University Press, "Lost in Transition" tells of ordinary lives upended by the collapse of communism. Through ethnographic essays and short stories based on her experiences with Eastern Europe between and , Kristen Ghodsee explains why it is that so many Eastern Europeans are nostalgic for the communist past. Ghodsee uses Bulgaria, the Eastern European nation where she has spent the most time, as a lens for exploring the broader transition from communism to democracy. She locates the growing nostalgia for the communist era in the disastrous, disorienting way that the transition was handled. The privatization process was contested and chaotic. A few well-connected foreigners and a new local class of oligarchs and criminals used the uncertainty of the transition process to take formerly state-owned assets for themselves. Ordinary people inevitably felt that they had been robbed. Many people lost their jobs just as the state social-support system disappeared. "Lost in Transition" portrays one of the most dramatic upheavals in modern history by describing the ways that it interrupted the rhythms of everyday lives, leaving confusion, frustration, and insecurity in its wake.

Splendored Thing: Love, Roses, and Other Thorny Treasures

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Lowe, Bia, PUBLISHER: Seal Press (CA), Bia Lowes Splendored Thing is a memoir and a paean to love told in a series of exquisitely written personal essays that follow one womans understanding of love, from childhoods gentle adventures to adulthoods stormy affairs. Author of the critically acclaimed Wild Ride, Lowe is an award-winning writer who knows that there is more truth in a good metaphor than in a thousand tiny details, and she draws on everything from Sara Lee baked goods and fairy tales to maps and stars to limn love in its myriad forms. She writes of her mother, the person from whom she learned loving; the object of her affection, through whom she continues to define and redefine love; and of other kinds of loving: love for a landscape, a house, a snail, a boy. Bia Lowes writing calls to mind the best of Joan Didion, Walt Whitman, and Lewis Thomas. But like all great writers, her work is breathtakingly original, and Splendored Thing is a unique book that takes us through the life and loves of a woman who finds joy, sorrow, and, ultimately, wonder in both.

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.

Girl Called Tennyson

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Givner, Joan, PUBLISHER: Thistledown Press, Anne "Tenn" Tennyson Miller's adventure begins during an ordinary ferry trip, but reality soon melts away as Tenn is transported to the fantasy land of Greensward. When she arrives in Greensward, Tenn is elected to rescue her new friend, Una, who has been spirited away to a nearby country occupied by evil forces determined to destroy the harmony of Greensward. Before she sets out on her dangerous mission she is trained by the wise woman, Bethan, who understands the enemy's weaknesses and offers Tenn resources and information that can help her on her mission. Once in enemy territory she uses Bethan's supplies and teachings, as well as her own keen memory and wealth of knowledge, to sustain her quest. She is eventually successful in finding Una but then discovers that there are many other children who must also be saved and returned to Greensward. This classic fantasy quest from established YA author Joan Givner takes young readers on an adventure written in the British tradition, fused with a contemporary voice.

Dawn of Camelot

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Evans, Quinn Taylor, PUBLISHER: Zebra Books, The story of King Arthur, Merlin, and Camelot is as boundless as it is timeless in its hold an our imaginations. And, like Mary Stewart's classic Merlin trilogy, Quinn Taylor Evans's Merlin's Legacy series has been hailed by readers and critics alike for its dazzling and original evocation of the Arthurian legend. Now, this accomplished and acclaimed writer takes us back to 514 A.D. for a prequel to the previous tales in the series. On the Island of the Mists -- enchanted, changeless Avalon -- Meg grew to power among the immortals, a rare and beautiful creature with a fierce inner strength. She was also Merlin's sister, gifted with a power -- and a will -- to match those of the great sorcerer. She longed to know the mortal world, where the sorrow of death was balanced by the joys of life and love. And so, one day between darkness and dawn, she took an human form and stepped from the safe haven of Avalon into the strife and war that divided ancient Britain...where a fierce warrior cast a passionate spell on her soul. Since childhood, Connor of Lyonesse fought to preserve Britain for Arthur, the boy-king who had fled his kingdom fifteen years before. The loyal knight had no use for myths and fairy tales. Little did he know that the sweet maid nearly slain by his own hand one dewy morning was a living legend who would work a shattering change on his embittered life. Nor could he have ever imagined that her gentle love commanded strong magic that would grant his heart's desire.

Bounty Man

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Patten, Lewis B., PUBLISHER: G. K. Hall & Company, Before all the shooting started, Ross Dunbar thought Dry Creek looked like a good place to settle down. But if the pair of tough, desperate men who now had him trapped had their way, he'd likely be settling down in a shallow grave instead. It had all been caused by an act of conscience that got him involved with the wife of a man he had shot. It was only a mission of mercy, for somebody else's wife. But there was no way to explain that now to these two desperados, who shot first and asked questions later...

Eye on the Flesh: Fashions of Masculinity in the Early

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Boscagli, Maurizia, PUBLISHER: Westview Press, When do our bodies cease to be ours alone? At what point and under what political and social circumstances do our bodies become the subtle, but no less complete, inscription of the will of another person, an institution, or a state? Maurizia Boscagli analyzes the early twentieth-century transformation of the male body from Forster's "unassuming black-coated clerk" and Eliot's "young man carbuncular" to the brutal, tanned musculature of fascism. She argues that this new male superman corporeality corresponded precisely with the rise of early mass consumer culture--generally associated with the female--and the advent of fascism. This mechanistic, polished, and vigorous male creature inevitably became an object of political and economic obedience and conformity, and in the concept of "the national body," a fighting machine.Boscagli takes the reader on a highly informed, literary, and cultural excursion through European culture between and . She stops for long, enlightening looks at Oscar Wilde and "The Picture of Dorian Gray," the Good War and the poet Rupert Brooke, Baden-Powell and the British Boy Scouts, and the primitive in D. H. Lawrence's "The Plumed Serpent." This erudite study about our obsessions with male physical perfection undergirds and explains the late-twentieth-century preoccupation with exercise, athletics, diet, and consumerism.

Apache: The Long Ride Home

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Gall, Grant, PUBLISHER: Sunstone Press, "An Apache warrior bent down from his horse, its glossy black flanks still heaving from exertion, to pick me up. As his hand grabbed my arm I bit hard into the flesh of his forearm. It was a deep bite and he shouted with pain. The other Apaches laughed loudly at his discomfort. He reached down again. I tried the same tactic but this time he was too quick. He jerked me upwards onto his horse and sat me in front of him. I fought like a cornered bobcat, spitting, biting and clawing. He struck me on the back of the neck. A vivid flash, then darkness". Thus begins the saga of Pedro Bautista captured by the Apache Indians when he was nine years old after a raid on his Mexican village. Adopted into the tribe, he absorbed their culture and survived their eventual confrontation and defeat by American troops.
