Fighting for good against co nsummate evil during WWII, he learned the deadly skills of warfare-- only to have these tools exploited by the Soviets' Cold War machine. Memories of h is time as a brainwashed assassin haunt him still, never more so than when he dons the star-spangled uniform once worn by Steve Rogers. And just when he thougt he could break free of the chains of his history, he is thrust in to a new nightmare: a Russian prison camp housing a handful of his most vic ious and revenge-minded Cold War peers. For Bucky, each ponderous minute th at ticks by in the gulag brings another new threat to his life.

Imprint: Anchor Canada, 2011 From the author of that classic of modern science writing, A Short History of Nearly Everything, comes a work of what you might call domestic science: our homes, how they work, and the fascinating history of how they got that way. Bill Bryson and his family live in a Victorian parsonage in a part of Engla nd where nothing of any great significance has happened since the Romans de camped. Yet one day, he began to consider how very little he knew about the ordinary things of life as found in that comfortable home. To remedy this, he formed the idea of journeying about his house from room to room to "wri te a history of the world without leaving home." The bathroom provides the occasion for a history of hygiene; the bedroom, sex, death, and sleep; the kitchen, nutrition and the spice trade; and so on, as Bryson shows how each has figured in the evolution of private life. Whatever happens in the worl d, he demostrates, ends up in our house, in the paint and the pipes and the pillows and every item of furniture.

Imprint: Black Swan, 2001 It was as if I had privately discovered life on another planet, or a parall el universe where life was at once recognizably similar but entirely differ ent. I can't tell you how exciting it was. Insofar as I had accumulated my expectations of Australia at all in the intervening years, I had thought of it as a kind of alternative southern California, a place of constant sunsh ine and the cheerful vapidity of a beach lifestyle, but with a slightly Bri tish bent - a sort of Baywatch with cricket...' Of course, what greeted Bil l Bryson was something rather different. Australia is a country that exists on a vast scale. It is the world's sixth largest country and its largest i sland. It is the only island that is also a continent and the only continen t that is also a country. It is the driest, flattest, hottest, most desicca ted, infertile and climatically aggressive of all the inhabited continents and still it teems with life - a large proportion of it quite deadly. In fa ct, Australia has more things that can kill you in a very nasty way than an ywhere else. This is a country where even the fluffiest of caterpillars can lay you out with a toxic nip, where seashells will not just sting you but actually sometimes go for you. If you are not stung or pronged to death in some unexpected manner, you may be fatally chomped by sharks or crocodiles, or carried helplessly out to sea by irresistable currents, or left to stag ger to an unhappy death in the baking outback. Ignoring such dangers - yet curiously obsessed by them - Bill Bryson journeyed to Australia and promptl y fell in love with the country. And who can blame him?

Bill Bryson is one of the world's most beloved and bestselling writers. In A Short History of Nearly Everything, he takes his ultimate journey-into th e most intriguing and consequential questions that science seeks to answer. It's a dazzling quest, the intellectual odyssey of a lifetime, as this ins atiably curious writer attempts to understand everything that has transpire d from the Big Bang to the rise of civilization. Or, as the author puts it, "...how we went from there being nothing at all to there being something, and then how a little of that something turned into us, and also what happe ned in between and since." This is, in short, a tall order. To that end, Bill Bryson apprenticed himself to a host of the world's most profound scientific minds, living and dead. His challenge is to take subjec ts like geology, chemisty, paleontology, astronomy, and particle physics an d see if there isn't some way to render them comprehensible to people, like himself, made bored (or scared) stiff of science by school. His interest i s not simply to discover what we know but to find out how we know it. How d o we know what is in the center of the earth, thousands of miles beneath th e surface? How can we know the extent and the composition of the universe, or what a black hole is? How can we know where the continents were 600 mill ion years ago? How did anyone ever figure these things out? On his travels through space and time, Bill Bryson encounters a splendid gallery of the most fascinating, ec, Very Good/Very Good Stock number: RWARE0000039339. ISBN: 9780767908177

Imprint: Abacus, 2000 At a time and in a culture where science and technology have taken over fro m religious belief, when ethics are understood primarily in terms of aesthe tic choice or legality, how are we to formulate moral principles to guide u s in our daily lives? Though religion can certainly help in this, the Dalai Lama demonstrates that there are universal principles we can draw on which transcend the dilemma of belief or unbelief. And whilst many have been con tent to speak of spiritual matters as something mysterious or evanescent, t he Dalai Lama explains his approach in terms that are as clear and concise as they are compelling. With wit, gentle good sense and with penetrating in sight, the Dalai Lama shows how the truths that have stood the test of gene rations of practise can provide us with the tools to live happy, fulfilled and meaningful lives. In the process, it becomes apparent that he does not merely espouse the 'feelgood' religiosity some accuse him of. The reader is left admiring not just the wisdom of the author, but the wisdom of the cul ture he represents. .0, Good Stock number: RWARE0000025428. ISBN: 9780349112541

Imprint: Penguin, 2003 A crisp clean softcover, no markings throughout: Living wisely is the best revenge for a London book review editor who loses both husband and job to her conniving assistant in this sophisticated and satisfying novel. Rose Lloyd is in her late 40s and has been happily married for 25 years when Minty, her "glossy free-ranging" young assistant, brusquely shoulders her aside. Husband Nathan, who is a deputy editor at the same newspaper, is decent and remorseful, but determined to start a new life, and Rose must pick up the pieces-which she does with commendable energy and resolve. Sidestepping the conventional wife-gets-even plot, Buchan opts for a more believable examination of one intelligent woman's midlife coming-of-age. With wry insight, Rose reflects on her affair with former lover Hal, a roving travel author, and her later happy life with Nathan and their children, Poppy and Sam, who are now embarking on their own marital journeys. Readers will appreciate the way Rose gets through the grief with admirable zest-"For anyone's information, the healing quotient of getting without difficulty into a black lace body embroidered with tiny butterflies is high"-and discovers "If becoming older meant loss... then it also gave back something unexpected.", Near Fine Stock number: RWARE0000013597.

Imprint: Oxford University Press, 1995 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.

Imprint: Collins, 2000 Get ready, investors: the graying of America, the resurgence of Japan, glob al warming, and six other major trends will jar the world's stock markets i n the next century. "Because the changing world continually buffets the mar kets, we cannot blindly throw money into stocks, into mutual funds, or into a bank account," warns leading economist Todd G. Buchholz in Market Shock. Instead, investors must be prepared to capitalize on opportunities as they unfold, says Buchholz, also the author of the bestseller New Ideas from De ad Economists. For instance, with the aging of baby boomers, savvy investor s should begin moving into health- care and pharmaceutical stocks. And with the prospect of global warming, investors should consider insurance compani es that are avoiding coverage of homes in low-lying coastal regions. The ot her six economic and social trends: a boom in minority populations; the bio technology and information revolutions; China's growing importance in the g lobal economy; a possible jump in crime; the potential failure of European unity; and the rising fees and slumping performance of mutual funds. Buchholz begins each chapter with a futuristic gloom-and-doom scenario and a fictional news flash. Without naming particular companies, he then describes the sorts of investments likely to flourish during those events. Market Shock can help people sidestep some investing minefields and possibly profit from some major trends that could transform the world's economies. --Dan Ring--This text refers to the, Very Good Stock number: RWARE0000005449.

Imprint: Fawcett, 1994 Editorial Reviews From Booklist Writers as diverse as Louise Erdrich, Cynthia Ozick, Fay Weldon, and Barbar a Grizzuti Harrison take on the Bible with generally fascinating results. T he editors' task was to bring the oft-neglected feminine perspective (that is, the perspective of both the original, biblical players and contemporary women writers) to the fore. The result of this effort runs the gamut, from theologian Phyllis Trible's scholarly essay on Jezebel and the prophet Eli jiah, to Patricia J. Williams' very personal account of the adoption of her son in the context of the story of pharaoh's daughter claiming the baby Mo ses. As to be expected, there is unevenness here, both in the choice of sub ject matter and in the quality of the writing, but overall, the selections are thought provoking and even disturbing, in the best sense of that word. The most interesting lesson, perhaps, especially for those not familiar wit h the scriptures, is how sparingly women are described in the Bible. Their absence, as Rachel M. Brownstein notes in her essay, invites "projection, i dentification, embroidery." These 27 essays provide just that and in the pr ocess give women much to ponder. Ilene Cooper From Kirkus Reviews A group of really smart women give astute readings of the Bible that, for the most part, subscribe to neither religious nor feminist orthodoxies. Happily, what Daphne Merkin, in her irreverent and surprising reading of The Song of Songs, calls the ``contemporary jargon- infused orthodox- feminist redactor...er, reader'' is virtually absent here. The 28 contributors to this volume are Jewish, Protestant, and Catholic, and t, Very Good Stock number: RWARE0000017335. ISBN: 9780449906927

Denise DeMarco wants to retire from the big game hunting business, but she's received one last job offer she can't refuse. All she has to do is capture a monster. Soon, Denise finds herself on a cursed and sweltering island with a team of elite hunters. Her employers want her to find the legendary ahool, a species of bat large enough to carry away a human being. Knee-deep in Komodo dragons and danger, Denise soon discovers that things aren't as they appear on the island. Someone is murdering Denise's partners, turning the hunters into the hunted. The killer isn't the only threat, though. Night is about to fall on the island, and the real monsters only come out after dark., Very Good Stock number: RWARE0000037610. ISBN: 9781925493412

Imprint: University of California Pre, 2000 Few works in world literature have inspired so vast an audience, in nations with radically different languages and cultures, as the Ramayana and Mahab harata, two Sanskrit verse epics written some 2,000 years ago. In Ramayana (written by a poet known to us as Valmiki), William Buck has re told the story of Prince Rama--with all its nobility of spirit, courtly int rigue, heroic renunciation, fierce battles, and triumph of good over evil-- in a length and manner that will make the great Indian epics accessible to the contemporary reader. The same is true for the Mahabharata--in its original Sanskrit, probably th e longest Indian epic ever composed. It is the story of a dynastic struggle , between the Kurus and Pandavas, for land. In his introduction, Sanskritis t B. A. van Nooten notes, "Apart from William Buck's rendition [no other En glish version has] been able to capture the blend of religion and martial s pirit that pervades the original epic." Presented accessibly for the general reader without compromising the spirit and lyricism of the originals, William Buck's Ramayana and Mahabharata capture the essence of the Indian cultural heritage., As New Stock number: RWARE0000024076.
