On Wings Of Magic
New York Dell Publishing 1983 0440167205 First Edition; First Printing Paperback Very Good- with no dust jacket
Pages are tight - they don't appear to have ever been read. Cover has quite a bit of shelf wear and book store stamp on first page. ; Candlelight Ecstasy Romance; Mass Market PB; Vol. 153; 188 pages; She breezed into the Bahamas as lightly as a silver-blond cloud in a clear blue sky. Looking as harmless as a hummingbird, hiding behind a facade of featherbrained chatter, she was determined to rest, to let no one - nothing - ruffle her sleek feathers. A deceptively beautiful, brainy, self-possessed world traveler, Kendall James had weathered war and revolution with scarcely a quiver. Surely a whirlwind romance was the last thing she was looking for. But now, gazing up into Hawke Madison's steely gray eyes, she was suddenly afraid... Afraid because the predatory heat of his desire echoed her own nameless yearnings, warning her she had met her match, and that had never - ever - happened to her before.

Unused/Unread/Unmarked Book.; New International Version/Nueva Version Internacional; 0.65 x 8.08 x 5.16; 683 pages; English: New International Version Bilingual New Testament With Psalms and Proverbs (Spanish/English) . Never before has there been a bilingual New Testament of such high quality in modern English and Spanish. The New International Version (NIV) has become the most popular contemporary English version in recent years largely because of its accuracy and clarity. Its Spanish counterpart, the Nueva Version Internacional (NVI) , has taken advantage of the scholarship and principles that have made the NIV so successful. However, careful attention has been given to preserve the quality and richness of the Spanish language, while remaining faithful to the original language of the Scriptures. Due to its harmony in principles and purposes, this parallel edition of the English NIV and Spanish NVI is the best of its kind available. It is highly recommended for those seeking to learn Spanish or English, as well as those who already have a grasp of both languages and want to compare them in their reading of God's Word. Spanish: Nuevo Testamento Bilingue con Salmos y Proverbios (espanol/ingles) Nueva Version Internacional. Nunca antes ha habido un Nuevo Testamento bilinque de tan alta calidad en expanol e ingles moderno. La New International Version (NIV) ha llegado a ser la version inglesa mas popular de los ultimos anos debido en gran parte a su precision y claridad. La Nueva Version Internacional (NVI) ha aprovechado la erudicion y los principios que han contribuido al rotundo exito de la NIV. Sin embargo, se ha tenido sumo cuidado en mantener la calidad y la riqueza propias del castellano, asi como la fidelidad a los idiomas biblicos originales. Debido a su armonia en principios y proposito, esta edicion paralela de la NIV inglesa y la NVI castellana es la mejor que se ha publicao. Se recomienda especialmenta para los interesados en aprender ingles o espanol, comparalos en su lectura de la Palabra de Dios.

The Best of the Best 18 New Stories By America's Leading Authors
New York, NY Signet Book 1998 0451193903 First American Edition; First Printing Hardcover Fine in Near Fine dust jacket
Excellent condition, with minimal shelf wear. Unused/Unread/Unmarked Book.; 1.5 x 6.2 x 9.8 inches; 334 pages; Proving that the term best is subjective, the editors of Prize Stories and Best American Short Stories (BASS) have selected entirely different lists to represent the highest-quality American short stories appearing last year. Only Carolyn Cooke has stories on both lists. Guest editor Proulx has added a new twist to BASS by grouping the stories into four broad categories. Rather than showing us the similarity of the selections, it demonstrates the complexity present in today's literary fiction and how the human concerns that manifest themselves in stories appear unique, owing to each author's voice and perspective. With new editor Dark, Prize Stories has expanded the number of magazines from which it selects, including for the first time Canadian authors and publications. Selected alongside familiar names like Alice Munro and John Barth are exciting new voices like Arthur Bradford and Thomas Glave. Both BASS and Prize Stories belong in most fiction collections. In the Signet title, "best" refers to best sellers, as Signet celebrates its 50th anniversary by printing new stories by blockbuster authors such as Stephen King, Ed McBain, and Erica Jong. As popular fiction is a different animal from literary fiction; only two or three of the included stories would ever be found in a literary journal. Instead, we find diverting stories that easily fit into genres like mystery, suspense, or romance. For popular collections.

Adams, Noah Far AppalachiaL Following the New River North
New York Delacorte Press 2001 0385320108 First Edition; First Printing Hardcover Fine in Fine dust jacket
Promotional Literature laid into book. Excellent condition, with minimal shelf wear. Unused and unmarked book.; 8.6 x 5.8 x 0.9 inches; 238 pages; With his sharp eye and gentle wit, Noah Adams doesn't just tell stories, he lets them unfold--quietly, powerfully, and eloquently. Now the beloved host of NPR's All Things Considered and bestselling author of Piano Lessons takes us on a river journey through the heart of Appalachia--a journey shared by pioneers and preachers, white-water daredevils, bluegrass musicians, and an unforgettable cast of vivid historical characters. Noah Adams has Appalachia in his blood. A native of eastern Kentucky, he comes to the headwaters of the New River not just in search of adventure but to better understand his own unique heritage. Following the New River from its mile-high source on North Carolina's Snake Mountain to its West Virginia mouth, Adams travels by Jeep and by bicycle, by foot and, most thrillingly, by white-water raft to explore the history, natural beauty, and fascinating characters waiting around every bend and turn. Distilling history from legend, Adams tells of men and women whose lives crossed the New River before him: Daniel Boone, fleeing his farming family in search of wilderness; Cherokee Indians driven west on their Trail of Tears; and the ill-fated men who traveled thousands of miles to work on the Hawk's Nest Tunnel, making a fortune for a company while their lungs filled with deadly silica dust. And along the way Adams follows the echoes of his own distant heritage, interweaving his river journey through Appalachia with yet another voyage, thousands of miles away. With eloquence and compassion, Noah Adams paints a luminous portrait of a land and a people as richly vital and complex as America itself. At the same time, his quietly personal chronicle captures the sheer magic of the flowing waters: their sound, their eddies, their utter unpredictability. A vibrant and unforgettable read, Far Appalachia mesmerizes and haunts like the bluegrass music that still rings through the mountains and valleys in which it was born.

Cloth boards. The book is in very good condition, with minimal shelf wear, there is a slight discoloration on the bottom of the pages toward the foredge. The dust jacket has a small hole in the front of the cover, slight rubbing and some wear on the corners. ; 1.43 x 11.35 x 9.39; 452 pages; The New York Times Book Review, John Russell If there were a first prize ... For beauty of statement and probity of elucidation, this catalogue would run away with it. Published on the occasion of the exhibition "From Van Eyck to Bruegel," this book presents an overview of one of the great epochs of Western art as seen through the extensive collection of the Metropolitan Museum. The period covered, sometimes referred to as the northern Renaissance, encompasses a century and a quarter of unparalleled artistic innovation and achievement realized in the geographic area of modern Belgium and the Netherlands. It opens about 1425 with the legendary inventor of oil painting, Jan van Eyck, and concludes with one of the most original geniuses of European art, Pieter Bruegel the Elder. Virtually every major master active during this era is represented, including Van Eyck, Robert Campin, Roger van der Weyden, Petrus Christus, Dieric Bouts, Hugo van der Goes, Hans Memling, Gerard David, Joos van Cleve, Quentin Massys, Jan Gossart, Bernard van Orley, Joachim Patinir and Bruegel. The volume is arranged thematically to emphasize the ways artists employed realism as a strategy. Introductory essays illuminate aspects of early Netherlandish painting: the history of its critical fortunes and scholarship; its acquisition by fifteenth- and sixteenth-century patrons; its relationship to Italian Renaissance painting; and the building of the Museum's collection in this area.

Akuppa Touching the Earth A Buddhist Guide To Saving The Planet
Birmingham Windhorse Publications 2002 1899579486 Paperback Fine with no dust jacket
Excellent condition, with minimal shelf wear. Unused/Unread/Unmarked Book.; Trade PB; 8.2 x 5.0 x 0.3 inches; 112 pages; How much evidence do you need before you decide that it's time to act? Faced with the environmental crises we see many people carrying on as usual. If we look to those in government, we may see indecision or complacency. So what do we do? Do we follow the herd or do we look to our own sense of what is rational and compassionate? This vast problem can leave us feeling overwhelmed, despairing, or alienated. But buried in these thoughts is the very thing that can help us act. Our despair shows that we have concern for other people, animals, or the beauty of nature. This is not just another call to recycle, a litany of destruction, or a bland spiritual homily. Environmentalist, and Buddhist teacher Akuppa urges us to see beyond our selfish concerns and wake up to the fragile beauty of the world. This capacity to look beyond ourselves is a seed of heroism. Cultivating this seed, in a thousand ordinary ways, we will find that real change is possible after all.

Alderman, John SONIC BOOM
Cambridge, MA Perseus Publ 08/2001 0738204056 First Edition; First Printing Hardcover Very Good+ in Very Good dust jacket
Very good, with minimal shelf wear. Remainder Mark/Black slash across bottom pages. ; Remainder; 0.80 x 9.39 x 6.26; 205 pages; The first book to tell the captivating inside story of the MP3 revolution as the record labels, musicians, Internet entrepreneurs, and fans battle for control over the future of music. Digital compression technologies such as MP3 and Napster are having an explosive impact on the way music is distributed. Every day, hundreds of thousands of music files are searched for, shared, recorded, and listened to by computer and Web users-all free of charge. It's a boon for consumers and a disaster for record companies, and the end result can be nothing less than a cultural and economic transformation. Sonic Boom is a fascinating narrative of the controversy that's sending shock waves through the music industry. It's the story of musicians such as the Beastie Boys and Public Enemy, who are reaching fans without record company support; entrepreneurs who are distributing MP3 files without licensing agreements; and record-industry executives who are fighting for their business at every turn. It reveals how, even as the star-maker machinery of record companies remains in the hands of the old guard, innovators are finding ways to outsmart it. Peopled with a sensational cast of characters that includes rock stars, music moguls, teenagers, and Internet entrepreneurs, Sonic Boom exposes the recording industry's plight as a fascinating microcosm of the vast cultural, ethical, and legal issues that all industries face in the information age.

Alley, Richard B. The Two-Mile Time Machine: Ice Cores, Abrupt Climate Chage, and Our Future
Princeton, N. J. Princeton University Press 2000 0691004935 First Edition; First Printing Hardcover Very Good in Very Good dust jacket
Ex-Library book, with library stamp on title page and shelf label on dust jacket spine. "Discarded" stamped and numbers/dates written in ink on free rear-end page. Mylar covered dust jacket. Otherwise, pages clean and unmarked. Very good condition, with minimal shelf wear. ; Ex-Library; B&W Illustrations; 9.5 x 6.4 x 0.8 inches ; 229 pages; Richard Alley, one of the world's leading climate researchers, tells the fascinating history of global climate changes as revealed by reading the annual rings of ice from cores drilled in Greenland. In the 1990s he and his colleagues made headlines with the discovery that the last ice age came to an abrupt end over a period of only three years. Here Alley offers the first popular account of the wildly fluctuating climate that characterized most of prehistory--long deep freezes alternating briefly with mild conditions--and explains that we humans have experienced an unusually temperate climate. But, he warns, our comfortable environment could come to an end in a matter of years. The Two-Mile Time Machine begins with the story behind the extensive research in Greenland in the early 1990s, when scientists were beginning to discover ancient ice as an archive of critical information about the climate. Drilling down two miles into the ice, they found atmospheric chemicals and dust that enabled them to construct a record of such phenomena as wind patterns and precipitation over the past 110, 000 years. The record suggests that "switches" as well as "dials" control the earth's climate, affecting, for example, hot ocean currents that today enable roses to grow in Europe farther north than polar bears grow in Canada. Throughout most of history, these currents switched on and off repeatedly (due partly to collapsing ice sheets) , throwing much of the world from hot to icy and back again in as little as a few years. Alley explains the discovery process in terms the general reader can understand, while laying out the issues that require further study: What are the mechanisms that turn these dials and flip these switches? Is the earth due for another drastic change, one that will reconfigure coastlines or send certain regions into severe drought? Will global warming combine with natural variations in Earth's orbit to flip the North Atlantic switch again? Predicting the long-term climate is one of the greatest challenges facing scientists in the twenty-first century, and Alley tells us what we need to know in order to understand and perhaps overcome climate changes in the future.

Ten years earlier, Delia left the husband who turned on her, abandoned her two daughters, one an infant, and fled to California. But Delia is pulled back to Georgia: to a world of convenience stores and biscuit factories, kudzu and deep-rooted Baptism-to make a deal with the man she paid a high price to leave. She brings her third daughter, Cissy, with her. And as the lives of Delia, Cissy, Amanda, and Dede converge, Delia's past uncoils into the present with a ferocity that brings all four women to terms with themselves and with one another. Told in the incantatory and unforgettable voice of one of America's greatest storytellers, Cavedweller is a sweeping novel of the human spirit that maps a world of "lost" and "known" caves, the unexplored recesses of the heart, and the lives of four women at a place where violence, and what redeems it, intersect.
