Imprint: Bergli Books Ltd, 1994 From the Back Cover The entertaining diary of an Englishman living in Switzerland started as notes to remind him what to write to his family in England. Cultural values of the Swiss and the British have never been compared with such wit and insight, revealing the pleasures and pitfalls of cross-cultural adaptation. He discovers the many different ways the world is viewed in Switzerland, attitudes about having a good time, getting a job, queuing and paying meticulous attention to detail. He is astonished and amused at what the Swiss worry about -almost everything, things that most British people do not even notice. He is also shocked at what the Swiss do not worry about - like real candles on Christmas trees and lifts with no inner doors. Like a true tourist, he asks nave questions and is content with nave answers. He discovers the new and the novel, wakes up each day to a fresh adventure with surprises at every turn.

Imprint: Random House Adult Trade Pub, 1995 "It was sometimes called the echo cave, and if you shouted your question lo ud enough in the right direction, you got an answer instead of an echo..." Clare and David-divided as children by a rigid social code that branded her as shanty Irish and him as gentry...brought together as adults by a desire that knew no class, no barriers, only the urgent hunger of two people dest ined to love-and ready to defy a world determined to keep them apart. Even at fifteen, David Power knew the echo would answer eleven-year- old Cla re O'Brien's dearest wish, to win a school prize. But it was years before D r. Power's cherished only son saw in the huckster's daughter the answer to his own heart's desire. Here in Castlebay, perched precariously on the seas ide cliffs, the lines between them were clearly drawn. Clare's only hope is to leave the town where time stopped, propelled by scholarships to Dublin, fueled by her own drive and brilliance, far from the insular, gossipy worl d of Castlebay and those in its thrall... Angela O'Hara, beautiful, insolat ed, a teacher trapped in the convent school, who risks everything to help C lare escape... Gerry Doyle, the town charmer who finds in Clare the woman h e vows to have at any price... Caroline Nolan, the beautiful, rich outsider who comes to plunder... For Clare, that was before the wild freedom of Dublin, and love. And David. Before fate drove them back to Castlebay, and the past...

It was there, in the crowded, chaotic O'Connor household, that she met Aisling-who would become her very best friend, sharing her pet kitten and secretly teaching her the intricacies of Catholicism. Aisling's boldness brought Elizabeth out of her proper shell; later, her support carried Elizabeth through the painful end of her parents' chilly marriage. In return, Elizabeth's friendship helped Aisling endure her own unsatisfying marriage to a raging alcoholic. Through the years, they always believed they could survive anything, as long as they had each other. Now they're about to find out if they were right..., Good Stock number: RWARE0000039550.

Imprint: Knopf, 2011 A crisp clean first edition, (as stated) no markings throughout: Reading a Maeve Binchy novel is like settling in for a cozy visit with an o ld friend. In vintage Binchy style, a cast of colorfully eccentric characte rs living in a snug Dublin neighborhood seamlessly weave in and out of each other's lives, united by family, faith, friendship, and community. When a young alcoholic learns he has fathered a child with a dying woman, he must step into the role of father, protector, and provider to his infant daughte r, Frankie, in a matter of weeks. Determined to succeed, though totally unp repared for his new responsibilities, Noel gets an essential assist from hi s visiting American cousin. Exercising her tremendous gifts of organization and insight, Emily cobbles together a neighborhood support system, featuri ng a few familiar faces from previous Binchy books. As everybody begins to mind Frankie, a suspicious social worker pokes her nose in where it doesn't belong, attempting to dredge up any dirt she can on Noel and his slightly unorthodox network of babysitters. Readers will need a box of tissues handy as the good-hearted residents of St. Jarlath's Crescent prove that it does indeed take a village to raise a child. --Margaret Flanagan Review 'One of Binchy's best works. She harmoniously handles a diverse group of ch aracters, the good deeds that characterize life in Ireland are believable, and the ending is sweet. One hopes to find Frankie in one of Binchy's futur e novels.' -- Susan Rogers, Newark Star-Ledger 'Binchy's world view is a large, benevolent one, and the reader is happier for it . . . bless her big Irish heart.' -, Near Fine/Near Fine Stock number: RWARE0000021463.

Imprint: McArthur & Company, 1999 A crisp clean softcover, no markings throughout: Against all odds, two newlyweds manage to buy the house of their dreams. In 1982, property speculation is beginning to be a big, big thing in Dublin-- and their street is very much in an up-and-coming part of town. "They laugh ed and hugged each other. Danny Lynch from the broken-down cottage in the b ack of beyond and Ria Johnson from the corner house in the big, shabby esta te were not only living like gentry in a big Tara Road mansion, they were a ctually debating what style of dining table to buy." But for its various in habitants, the street is to become a boulevard of dreams--some broken, othe rs created anew. Maeve Binchy has long proved herself a secure hand at mult iple story lines, and over the course of 500 satisfying pages she focuses o n Ria; her best friend, Rosemary Ryan, a beautiful, endlessly selfish caree r woman; Gertie, the battered wife of a drunkard; and several other intrigu ing women, each of whom has secrets not to be shared.

Imprint: Vintage, 2013 A copy that has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. HHhH: "Himmlers Hirn heisst Heydrich," or "Himmler's brain is called Heydrich." The most dangerous man in Hitler's cabinet, Reinhard Heydrich was known as the "Butcher of Prague." He was feared by all and loathed by most. With his cold Aryan features and implacable cruelty, Heydrich seemed indestructible-until two men, a Slovak and a Czech recruited by the British secret service-killed him in broad daylight on a bustling street in Prague, and thus changed the course of History.Who were these men, arguably two of the most discreet heroes of the twentieth century? In Laurent Binet's captivating debut novel, we follow Jozef Gabcik and Jan Kubiš from their dramatic escape of Nazi-occupied Czechoslovakia to England; from their recruitment to their harrowing parachute drop into a war zone, from their stealth attack on Heydrich's car to their own brutal death in the basement of a Prague church.A seemingly effortlessly blend of historical truth, personal memory, and Laurent Binet's remarkable imagination, HHhH-an international bestseller and winner of the prestigious Prix Goncourt du Premier Roman-is a work at once thrilling and intellectually engrossing, a fast-paced novel of the Second World War that is also a profound meditation on the nature of writing and the debt we owe to history., Very Good Stock number: RWARE0000036807.

With its gentle hills and timeless villages, the Cotswold countryside is a vision of natural beauty and rural calm, but it is also a region rich in hi story. In this new addition to the Landscapes of the Imagination series, Ja ne Bingham offers an intriguing portrait of the Cotswolds over the centurie s, ranging from ancient stone circles and ruined Roman villas to the Cotswolds today, a picturesque destination spot popular with country-weekenders, tourists, and celebrities. Readers will visit fine churches and manor houses that have survived from the Middle Ages, and tour a landscape still bearing the scars of the Civil War. The home of kings and nobles since Saxon times, the region is famous for its elegant estates, such as Blenheim Palace-- England's grandest stately home--while signs of the early industrial age can be seen in its mills and factories. Artists, musicians, and writers were also drawn to this rural paradise, from William Shakespeare and William Morris to T.S. Eliot and Ralph Vaughn Williams. Bingham captures it all in her charming portrait of this glorious spot in the heart of southern England., Near Fine Stock number: RWARE0000036868. ISBN: 9780195398755

At thirty-eight, Trudy Herring is a dreamer, a sculptor of whimsical clay figures, and a permanent temporary worker at the San Antonio Museum of Folk Art. But all that changes when she agrees to incubate a child for Hillary Goettler (her boss) and Hillary's husband. Trudy moves into their mansion and is instantly thrust into a luxurious world she's never known before. While Hillary opines that parenthood is simply a "time-management problem," Trudy is forced to consume noxiously healthy meals in a home where the decor changes faster than a Neiman Marcus window display. As her body warms to the other life inside, Trudy begins to long for her old flame, Sinclair Coker, "a freelance mystic with a lot of enthusiasm for the carnal." The quest to satisfy her cravings leads Trudy to discover that it takes a lot more than war stories about childbirth and potty training for a woman to qualify for true membership in "the mommy club.", Very Good Stock number: RWARE0000031510.

Imprint: Syngress, 2003 A tight clean copy, no markings throughout: In the fast-paced, caffeine- powered, and sometimes reckless world of computer security, the security analogy of a "hard crunchy outside and soft chewy inside," a staple of the security community today, is uncannily apropos as we spend millions to protect and fortify the outside perimeter network and nary spend a dime to address internal threats. However, as convenient as it may be to leave internal systems free from controls, it's a disaster once someone "bites" through to that unprotected inside; consider, too, the potential damage (whether intentional or not) that could be generated by those employees or partners who have legitimate access to the center. Lackadaisical attention to the soft and chewy inside could compromise your security at any time. The authors of Special OPs: Host and Network Security for Microsoft, UNIX, and Oracle immerse you in this analogy of intranet security and "the soft chewy inside" so frequently neglected in today's security oration. In this book, you will find the critical pieces to securing your vital internal systems from attackers (both friend and foe) and a near complete picture to understanding your internal security risk., Near Fine Stock number: RWARE0000014797.

Imprint: SAGE Publications, 2000 Much current literature on globalization and competition focuses on the ext ernal environment in which firms operate. Julian Birkinshaw's book looks wi thin international firms at the dynamics that affect their growth and posit ion. Are local managers seizing power from the centre? Is `glocialization' the inevitable result of globalization? Based on fresh case evidence gathe red in Europe and North America, the findings in this book about multi-nati onal firms and managers make a significant contribution to some of the key debates on the transfer of knowledge in firms; the resource-based view; and the network forms of organization. The initiatives of local managers refle ct local knowledge, skills and resources and at the same time impact of the distribution of power in the wider organization. By taking as his perspect ive that of the subsidiary manager operating in a network, Julian Birkinsha w extends the implications of his findings to all managers in organizations and challenges those who still view organizations as hierarchies., Near Fine Stock number: RWARE0000005893.

Imprint: Del Rey, 2007 A tight clean softcover, no markings throughout: "The action is nonstop, the characters very real-and very different from ea ch other-and, to coin a phrase, it makes you think." -S. M. Stirling, author of Island in the Sea of Time In the year 2021 a multinational fleet-experimenting with untested weapons technology-pitched through time, crash-landing in 1942. The world is thrown into chaos as Roosevelt, Hitler, Churchill, Tojo, and Stalin scramble to a dapt to new, high-tech killing tools, and twenty- first-century ways of war. For "uptimers" like Britain's Prince Harry and the men and women who serve aboard the supercarrier USS Hillary Clinton, war is a constant struggle wit h their own downtime allies, who are mired in ignorance and bigotry. As the Allies counter the Nazi assault and set off for the coast of France, Japan begins to buckle, soon every battle will be played out in a lethal d ance of might and intelligence, unholy alliances and desperate gambles, and each clash will be fought with the ultimate weapon; knowledge from the fut ure. Thanks to the historical records, all sides know that two superpowers will emerge, while the losers will be pounded into submission. But time has shif ted on its axis, so none know who will survive, or how peace will take hold in a world turned upside down. These are the questions that John Birmingha m brilliantly answers in his critically acclaimed adventure of war and imag ination. Praise for John Birmingham's Weapons of Choice "Birmingham's enthralling battleground mixes provocative historical fiction and socially conscious futurism." -Entertainment Weekly "High-tech intrigue and, Fine Stock number: RWARE0000025157.
