Imprint: Healing Arts Press, 1996 Going beyond good posture and movement efficiency, Mary Bond presents a uni que self-help program of body transformation. Much of what we experience as physical tension or stress is the result of an imbalanced body. When our p hysical structure is habitually bent, twisted, and compressed, the body glu es itself together with tension in order to remain upright. Bond demonstrat es how the connective tissue that holds our bodies together is actually ver y flexible and will, with encouragement, adapt to new, healthy patterns of posture and movement. Rolfing Movement combines touch and verbal messages to help you become more responsive to your body's inner cues. The author offers a practical series of structural awareness exercises that will help you redirect your awareness to internal sensations of tension or balance. These movement explorations are written as scripts so that you can practice the movements with detailed directions. By learning to recognize and respond appropriately to your body's internal messages, you will discover a new freedom of expression in your body, leading to a marked increase in health and vitality., Very Good Stock number: RWARE0000039756.

Imprint: Fawcett, 1991 Returning from Monsieur Pamplemousse Aloft , the eccentric flatfoot/gourman d and Pommes Frites, his clever dog, team up to sniff out clues when a not- so-merry prankster sabotages Le Guide , "France's oldest and most respected food guide." The fictional food bible's staff finds itself in a stew when a false obituary of the director appears in the local paper on the very day the final manuscript--the first edition produced by computer, with influen tial new restaurant ratings--is to be unveiled at a company celebration. Th ere the director faints dead away when he finds the manuscript completely b otched, riddled with missratings and erroneous reviews. Jovial food maven A ristide Pamplemousse, an Inspector Clousseau-meets-Hercule Poirot type, sme lls something foul when the company's accountant--the sole employee other t han the director with access to the computer password--cannot be found. Bri tish writer Bond, also the creator of the Paddington Bear children's series , smartly sidesteps cliches about computer crime, instead devising an old-f ashioned puzzle with immensely pleasurable characters and pervasive comic z est., Very Good Stock number: RWARE0000001526.

Imprint: Fawcett, 1993 If this seventh haute cuisine adventure by the author of the Paddington Bea r children's books strikes new readers as initially precious, it rapidly be comes deliciously funny. M. Pamplemousse, retired from the Surete, is repre senting Le Guide magazine in Vichy, where six celebrated American mystery w riters are recreating a gourmet feast supposedly once hosted by Alexandre D umas. The Inspector arrives at the dinner as instructed, costumed as D'Arta gnan and riding a horse--a wickedly unreliable horse. All too soon he finds himself thrown into a rural ditch, arrested and handcuffed, pursued on foo t over the fields, locked in a country brothel (and rescued by his dog Pomm es Frites), tucked in a hotel bed with a ravishing American gourmet-magazin e publisher (and desperately trying to conceal the fact from his suspicious spouse, who has popped in from Paris). At the same time he's coping with t wo fake murders and one genuine one. "Pas de probleme," exults Pamplemousse , perhaps too soon. A delectable souffle., Very Good Stock number: RWARE0000011945.

Imprint: W. W. Norton & Company, 2004 A highly collectible first edition/printing, protected in a new brodart wra pper. In nineteenth-century Russia, many people believed that a certain Siberian hermit was really the late Tsar Alexander I. After the French Revolution, several men gained followings by claiming to be the surviving son of Marie Antoinette and Louis XVI. Bondeson, a British rheumatologist with an engaging sideline in the more sensational byways of history, sifts evidence with a keen understanding of the difficulty of establishing truth: "Kings and queens are mere mortals, but it is difficult to kill off a good story." DNA testing has felled a few hypotheses, but mysteries persist, in part, Bondeson believes, because they are bound up with larger questions of national identity. He also writes about the not-so-great pretenders: the long-lost relatives who show up just in time to contest the family fortune. These trials provided high drama in Victorian England, reaching a peak of silliness when one witness testified that Charles Dickens, between books, acted as a pimp for the eccentric Duke of Portland., Fine/Fine Stock number: RWARE0000012400.

Imprint: Penguin Books Ltd, 2002 No creases, bright internal pages no soiling to covers, a fine crisp softco ver edition. Kyril Bonfiglioli, the groundbreaking satirist whose writing The New Yorker described as "an unholy collaboration between P. G. Wodehouse and Ian Flem ing," was truly a writer ahead of his time. In this hilarious novel, Bonfig lioli takes us back in time to an ironical maritime romp--Master and Comman der by way of Monty Python. Inspired by a shotgun blast in the seat of his breeches, young Karli Van Cl eef quits his native Holland to seek his fortune. He arrives in early Victo rian London and soon he is turning a pretty profit. But Karli sees that tru e opportunity flowers in India's fields of opium poppies and the treaty por ts of the China coast. So he takes a berth in an opium clipper hell-bent fo r the Indies. It is a journey beset with perils. Karli is confronted by the mountainous s eas, high-piled plates of curry, and the ferocious penalties of the Article s of War. He survives the malice of the Boers, the hospitality of anthropop hagi, and the horrors of Lancashire cooking. En route he acquires some inte resting diseases, dangerous friends and enemies, a fortune, and a wife almo st as good as new. Fans and newcomers alike will revel in this picaresque tale of the early years of one of the men who helped make Britain great--for a consideration., Fine Stock number: RWARE0000013804.

Imprint: Wiley, 2003 "History shows that people who save and invest grow and prosper, and the ot hers deteriorate and collapse. As Financial Reckoning Day demonstrates, artificially low interest rates an d rapid credit creation policies set by Alan Greenspan and the Federal Rese rve caused the bubble in U.S. stocks of the late '90s. . . . Now, policies being pursued at the Fed are making the bubble worse. They are changing it from a stock market bubble to a consumption and housing bubble. And when those bubbles burst, it's going to be worse than the stock market bubble . . . No one, of course, wants to hear it. They want the quick fix. They want to buy the stock and watch it go up twenty-five percent because that's what ha ppened last year, and that's what they say on TV." -Jim Rogers, author of the bestseller Adventure Capitalist from the Foreword to Financial Reckoning Day Advanced praise from bestselling authors "An investment book that will not only enlarge your investment horizon, but also make you laugh and thoroughly entertain you for a few hours." -Dr. Marc Faber, author of the bestseller Tomorrow's Gold "Financial Reckoning Day is . . . in the category of scintillating sex or g ood vision, something to be savored and enjoyed- before it is too late." -James Dale Davidson, author of the bestseller The Great Reckoning and The Sovereign Individual "A powerful and insightful vision . . . each paragraph stimulates a new rus h of thoughts that fills in gaping holes in the investor's understanding of what has happened to their dreams . . . while prepping them to confront an y new confusion that may arrive." -Martin D.

Imprint: E-R Productions, LLC, 2004 12 Real-Life Stories That Will Inspire You to do Great Things for God By Re inhard Bonnke On one level, these dramatic stories are a testimony to the l ife and work of Reinhard Bonnke (bon-kay). The awesome numbers of souls ete rnally changed by the Cross of Jesus Christ through Bonnke's preaching are incredible by any human standard. Yet Reinhard is quick to give credit wher e credit is due - from zero to hero; he often says, referring to God s grac e poured into his life and ministry. This theme of empowering grace pushes each story to a higher level ... Everyone has a dream, or perhaps had a dre am. These are stories of real people, Reinhard included, who through failur e, weakness, and just bad circumstances watched their dreams evaporate. But God was not finished. He had even greater plans prepared for them, as He h as even greater plans for you. His grace is freely given ... You will be mo ved... you will be inspired... you will be challenged... to do even greater works for God., Fine Stock number: RWARE0000027374. ISBN: 9780975878910

Imprint: Penguin Books, Limited (UK), 1990 The last millennium has not been a great success. We have advanced in scien ce and technology, but not much in human behaviour. Is it possible that thi s has been due to poor thinking? Edward de Bono maintains that the thinking of the last millennium has been concerned with WHAT IS. This is the thinki ng of analysis, criticism and argument. What we have not sufficiently devel oped is the thinking concerned with WHAT CAN BE. This is thinking that is c reative and constructive, and which seeks to solve conflicts and problems b y designing a way forward. The emphasis of his proposed new thinking is on design and not judgement., Very Good Stock number: RWARE0000038297. ISBN: 9780140287769

Imprint: Penguin Books Ltd, 2001 Language has been the biggest help to human progress. But, ironically, lang uage has also become the barrier to its own development. We are locked in t o words and concepts that are limited and out of date. These force us to se e the world in a very old-fashioned way. Like any self- organizing system, l anguage has become bogged down in its own equilibrium. The marvellous flexi bility of language for description does not enable us to hold complex conce pts in our minds. Such concepts exist only while we describe them. The purp ose of the two code systems put forward in this book is to allow us to desi gn, hold and use complicated new ideas. since new words would sound bizarre and grotesque, the new concepts are expressed in a number code. This is no different from remembering and using telephone numbers: some you know and others you look up. There are a wide range of codes in this book which help overcome the language barriers in anything from relationships to travel. A n important and powerful "pre-code" is also given. The codes presented here are just the beginning of the limitless range of the De Bono Code., Near Fine Stock number: RWARE0000004360. ISBN: 9780140287776

All of the titles feature sho rt text, lots of full-color illustrations, informative captions, and sideba rs. The spiral bindings are enclosed in a standard spine, making the books easy to label and attractive to shelve. Architecture begins with simple she lters, progresses to the classical world's constructions, medieval castles and cathedrals, Japanese paper houses, bridges, London's Crystal Palace, sk yscrapers, and Frank Lloyd Wright's Fallingwater. Moviemaking covers the de velopment of motion pictures from stills, the invention of talkies and tech nicolor, Hollywood, competition from television, special effects and animat ion, and notable people, such as Chaplin and Eisenstein. Flight starts with the dream of flight and flying animals and continues with kites, gliders, balloons and dirigibles, the invention of airplanes, the Wright Brothers, e arly flying aces, warplanes, and how navigational systems work. Wind discus ses the atmosphere, clouds, different kinds of precipitation, rainbows and mirages, weather systems and storms, climates, and forecasting the weather. None of the books goes into great depth, but all have small, useful tidbit s of information scattered throughout. Occasionally, simplification of the topics results in some strange wording: e.g., drag is explained by saying t hat "air tries to pull the plane backward," and light is compared to "milli ons of tiny balls," which may be misleading to beginners.

Rather than approach his career chronologically, Scorsese talks about his love of movies, his influences, and his collaborators. He discusses Robert DeNiro, Brian DePalma, Francis Coppola, and Steven Spielberg; speaks of his passion for British, French, and Italian cinema, as well as for Irish American directors; pays homage to some early independent filmmakers; and talks about the making of Casino. As an extra treat, the Cahiers editors put in their two francs, contributing personal appreciations of the director.

Exploring the rise and fall of the movement in popular culture, the study examines what spiritual progressives lost when the movement receded and asks them to consider what they could gain personally and collectively by reviving it. This guide encourages solitary spiritual seekers to reach out to one another and create a revitalized New Age community with the power to help everyone grow in their unfinished spiritual evolution., Very Good Stock number: RWARE0000039796.

Imprint: Oxford University Press, 1983 A crisp clean softcover, no markings throughout: "Oxford Bookworms" offer students at all levels the opportunity to extend their reading and appreciation of English. There are six stages, taking students from elementary to advanced level. At the lower stages, many of the texts have been specially written for the series, to provide elementary and lower- intermediate students with an introduction to real reading in English. At the higher stages, most of the books have been adapted from works originally published for native speakers. The language controls used in "Oxford Bookworms" are based on a syllabus specially created for the series by Tricia Hedge. This takes account of the more traditional approaches to grading and recent research into the nature of reading difficulty. The approximate vocabulary count for each stage is: Stage 1 - 400 words; Stage 2 - 700 words; Stage 3 - 1000 words; Stage 4 - 1400 words; Stage 5 - 1800 words; Stage 6 - 2500 words. All stages have exercises for classroom or private use, plus a supporting glossary to help students with vocabulary. Illustrations are used, especially at the lower stages, to help comprehension., Very Good+ Stock number: RWARE0000018595. ISBN: 9780194216449
