Imprint: Onyx Books, 2001 Performance seminars have long been the bane of the corporate world, yet fe w authors have explored them in fiction to the candid degree that Brooks (D arkness Bound) does here. The first third of this addictive thriller introd uces Brad Teeters, Mark Johnson and Pamela Wiley, three dedicated yet bitte r senior employees at Wright & Wong, a successful Seattle-based ad agency. When the trio propose to buy out the firm, Wong agrees, stipulating that al l three employees must first attend The Seminar, a week-long retreat for ex ecutives at a secluded site in northern California. In detailed prose, Broo ks captures the first 60 hours of The Seminar, during which facilitators si mulate airplane crashes and hostage takeovers in an effort to teach inner s trength and trust. But when one of The Seminar's mind games goes awry, Teet ers, Johnson and Wiley become unwittingly ensnared in an evil scheme master minded by Wong and Beth, Teeters's sexy, manipulative wife. Beth, who up to this point has been a secondary character, becomes the focal point of an i ntricate conclusion involving betrayed friendships, apparent suicides and k inky sex games. A master of terror and suspense, Brooks crafts his characte rs with care, lending them opaque dimensions that make them appear both sym pathetic and loathsome., Near Fine Stock number: RWARE0000001878.

Imprint: Three Rivers Press, 2007 A crisp clean softcover, no markings throughout: "The end was near." -- Voices from the Zombie War The Zombie War came unthinkably close to eradicating humanity. Max Brooks, driven by the urgency of preserving the acid-etched first-hand experiences of the survivors from those apocalyptic years, traveled across the United S tates of America and throughout the world, from decimated cities that once teemed with upwards of thirty million souls to the most remote and inhospit able areas of the planet. He recorded the testimony of men, women, and some times children who came face-to-face with the living, or at least the undea d, hell of that dreadful time. World War Z is the result. Never before have we had access to a document that so powerfully conveys the depth of fear a nd horror, and also the ineradicable spirit of resistance, that gripped hum an society through the plague years. Ranging from the now infamous village of New Dachang in the United Federati on of China, where the epidemiological trail began with the twelve-year-old Patient Zero, to the unnamed northern forests where untold numbers sought a terrible and temporary refuge in the cold, to the United States of Southe rn Africa, where the Redeker Plan provided hope for humanity at an unspeaka ble price, to the west-of-the- Rockies redoubt where the North American tide finally started to turn, this invaluable chronicle reflects the full scope and duration of the Zombie War. Most of all, the book captures with haunting immediacy the human dimension of this epochal event. Facing the often raw and vivid nature of these personal accounts requires a degree of courage on the part, Near Fine Stock number: RWARE0000024881. ISBN: 9780307346612

Through Anna's eyes we follow the story of the fateful year of 1666, as she and her fellow villagers confront the spread of disease and superstiti on. As death reaches into every household and villagers turn from prayers t o murderous witch-hunting, Anna must find the strength to confront the disi ntegration of her community and the lure of illicit love. As she struggles to survive and grow, a year of catastrophe becomes instead annus mirabilis, a "year of wonders." Inspired by the true story of Eyam, a village in the rugged hill country of England, Year of Wonders is a richly detailed evocation of a singular moment in history.

Imprint: New Harbinger Publications, 2001 A crisp clean first printing. Millions of adults grew up with immature, self-absorbed parents who made their own children responsible for their physical and emotional well-being, expected admiration and constant attention, and reacted with criticism and blame when their slightest need went unmet. In this accessible book, psychologist Nina Brown helps grown children come to terms with the results of such an upbringing, including tendencies to overcomply to others' needs, withdraw when someone needs nurturing, and lack self-esteem. Through self-exploration exercises and protective and coping strategies, Brown helps readers work toward developing a "healthy narcissism" by identifying destructive patterns their parents may have had, evaluating attitudes and behaviors that may be hampering their own adult relationships, dealing with self-doubt and other negative feelings, and piecing together a more integrated sense of self., Fine Stock number: RWARE0000014844.

Imprint: Corgi Books, 2004 In most thrillers, "hardware" consists of big guns, airplanes, military veh icles, and weapons that make things explode. Dan Brown has written a thrill er for those of us who like our hardware with disc drives and who rate our heroes by big brainpower rather than big firepower. It's an Internet user's spy novel where the good guys and bad guys struggle over secrets somewhat more intellectual than just where the secret formula is hidden--they have t o gain understanding of what the secret formula actually is. In this case, the secret formula is a new means of encryption, capable of c hanging the balance of international power. Part of the fun is that the boo k takes the reader along into an understanding of encryption technologies. You'll find yourself better understanding the political battles over such r eal-life technologies as the Clipper Chip and PGP (Pretty Good Privacy) sof tware even though the book looks at the issues through the eyes of fiction. Although there's enough globehopping in this book for James Bond, the real battleground is cyberspace, because that's where the "bomb" (or rather, the new encryption algorithm) will explode. Yes, there are a few flaws in the plot if you look too closely, but the cleverness and the sheer fun of it all more than make up for them. There are enough twists and turns to keep you guessing and a lot of high, gee-whiz-level information about encryption, code breaking, and the role they play in international politics. Set aside the whole afternoon and evening for it and have finger food on hand for supper--you may want to read this one straight through., Very Good+ Stock number: RWARE0000013442.

Part of the ploy includes bombing some of their own ships. Along the way, several military installations, air fields, ships, and even a United States aircraft carrier are vaporized. The only thing that can stop this swath of destruction is a hybrid B-52 bomber and its renegade crew., Near Fine/Near Fine Stock number: RWARE0000008594. ISBN: 9780399142413

With food supplies tightening, countries are competing for the land and wat er resources needed to feed their people. With food scarcity driven by fall ing water tables, eroding soils, and rising temperatures, control of arable land and water resources is moving to center stage in the global struggle for food security. "In this era of tightening world food supplies, the abil ity to grow food is fast becoming a new form of geopolitical leverage. Food is the new oil," Lester R. Brown writes. What will the geopolitics of food look like in a new era dominated by scarcity and food nationalism? Brown outlines the political implications of land acquisitions by grain-importing countries in Africa and elsewhere as well as the world's shrinking buffers against poor harvests. With wisdom accumulated over decades of tracking agricultural issues, Brown exposes the increasingly volatile food situation the world is facing., Very Good Stock number: RWARE0000039531.

Imprint: Vision, 2013 Bellamy Lyston was only 12 years old when her older sister Susan was killed on a stormy Memorial Day.

Now, 18 years later, Bellamy has written a sensational, bestselling novel b ased on Susan's murder. Because the book was inspired by the tragic event t hat still pains her family, she published it under a pseudonym to protect t hem from unwanted publicity. But when an opportunistic reporter for a tablo id newspaper discovers that the book is based on fact, Bellamy's identity i s exposed along with the family scandal.

Imprint: JRP|Ringier, 2010 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. "Today," declares svengali-at-large Malcolm McLaren, "there are two words that sum up the culture: 'authenticity' is one, and the other... 'karaoke'! Many artists spend their entire life trying to authenticate, make true, a karaoke culture-but you have to be a magician to make that happen." This book, like the exhibition from which it stems, is built around McLaren's Shallow, a series of 21 "musical paintings" made from a "grab bag of pop culture's debris over the past 50 years." The project, curated by Bernd Wurlitzer, brought together music-related works by Delia Brown, Wolfgang Flad, Rodney Graham, Gregor Hildebrandt, Damien Hirst, Alicja Kwade, Jim Lambie, Jack Pierson, Rob Pruitt, Michael Queenland, Anselm Reyle, Michael Sailstorfer and Andreas Schulze. McLaren has proven to be a visionary of pop culture and a pop cultural icon for more than 30 years; with Shallow, he formally announces his identity as an artist., Very Good Stock number: RWARE0000036445.
