Imprint: Arrow Books Ltd, 2003 It takes a lot of chutzpah to give your novel the same title as one of the most famous novels in the history of English-language literature, even if t he original novel didn't spawn a literary field or two (utopian and dystopi an fiction) or become an everyday term for the perfect place to live on Ear th. Yet there's a postmodern appropriateness to applying the title Utopia t o a novel set in a theme park that uses cutting-edge technology to create E arth's most desirable fantasy place to visit. Like Westworld and Jurassic P ark, Lincoln Child's Utopia is a near-future theme-park thriller, and like Michael Crichton, Child delivers an abundance of white-knuckle thrills, chi lls, and shocks., Fine Stock number: RWARE0000005187.

Imprint: Poisoned Pen Press, 2000 A crisp clean softcover: The fourth Sir Robert Carey mystery finds the Deputy Warden of the West Marshes (on the England/Scotland border) returning to London after the adventures chronicled in A Surfeit of Guns (1997). It's August 1592, and Carey, struggling to scrape together enough cash to pay off his debts, finds himself embroiled in a feud between a couple of playwrights: Robert Greene and a young fellow called William Shakespeare. Chisholm displays a real knack for comedy here, in a tale that is noticeably lighter than the earlier installments in the series. This is no lumpy, historically accurate but dramatically dull novel; it's a lively, lifelike adventure that just happens to feature some of the most famous people in the history of drama (Christopher Marlowe also takes a turn). The author's change of pace from more serious fare should please her fans and win her a lot of new ones, too., Fine Stock number: RWARE0000016690. ISBN: 9781890208431

Imprint: Open Media/Seven Stories Pre, 2001 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. MIT- based Chomsky revolutionized linguistics in the late Fifties, but for nearly as long he has been better known as an energetic and constructive debunker of American establishment politics and behavior. However, the current Chomsky contributes nothing to the legacy he established decades ago. These two most recent productions do not reveal systematic efforts to sustain or develop any aspect of his prolifically expressed critique; indeed, they are not so much authored as collaged, with Chomsky's sanction, from talks, after-talk Q&As, and interviews with generally converted interlocutors. Understanding Power draws mainly on vintage utterances from the Nineties, and its most penetrating passage takes on, of all pressing matters, literary theory. Chomsky, who is relentless in condemning the media as incapable of any function other than converting the masses to elite desires, just as relentlessly samples mainstream reporting sources for instances of corporate and government ill doings. In trying to illustrate that he is not a crude conspiracy theorist, he conveys the opposite impression. The shorter 9-11 could not have been planned, of course, though it mostly consists of interviews conducted while the calendar still read September, suggesting both the urgency Chomsky felt to get his perspective on the record and his utter disinclination to reexamine any of his cemented opinions about world affairs. Chomsky condemns the attacks specifically and then suggests that the deaths are entir, Very Good Stock number: RWARE0000038841. ISBN: 9781583224892

Imprint: City Lights Publishers, 2010 Indigenous societies throughout Latin America are facing difficult choices. After centuries of colonization, the ongoing struggle to preserve communal knowledge, rituals, language, traditions, and teaching and learning practi ces has taken on even more significance in the increasingly standardized wo rld of globalization. For many indigenous societies, protecting community-b ased customs has involved the rejection of state-provided education, raisin g a series of interconnected issues regarding autonomy, modernity and cultu ral sustainability. In New World of Indigenous Resistance, these questions are approached from multiple perspectives by means of an innovative exchange between linguist a nd human rights advocate Noam Chomsky, and more than twenty scholars, activ ists and educators from across the Americas. Two interviews with Chomsky open the exchange with lessons from world histo ry, linguistics, economics and anti-authoritarian philosophy, parallel hist ories of peoples worldwide who have resisted state power while attempting t o sustain or even revitalize community traditions. In response to Chomsky's ideas, voices from Argentina, Bolivia, Ecuador, Guatemala, Mexico, Panama, Peru, the United States, and Uruguay dray from their first-hand experience and scholarship, speaking to, with, and at times against Chomsky's views. In a final interview Chomsky reflects upon the commentaries; the result is a nuanced intellectual and political exchange-a compelling conversation tha t offers a contemporary vision of indigenous resistance, survival and hope.

Imprint: Harmony, 2010 Deepak Chopra presents ten lessons to help build awareness and change the d istorted energy patterns that are the root cause of aging, infirmity, and d isease. Fifteen years after his #1 New York Times bestseller, Ageless Body, Timeles s Mind, Deepak Chopra revisits "the forgotten miracle"-the body's infinite capacity for change and renewal. You cannot take advantage of this miracle, Chopra says, unless you are willing to completely reinvent your body, tran sforming it from a material object to a dynamic, flowing process. "Your phy sical body is a fiction," Chopra contends. Every cell is made up of two inv isible ingredients: awareness and energy. Transformation can't stop with the body, however; it must involve the soul. The soul-seemingly invisible, aloof, and apart from the material world-act ually creates the body. Only by going to the level of the soul will you acc ess your full potential, bringing more intelligence, creativity, and awaren ess into every aspect of your life. Reinventing the Body, Resurrecting the Soul delivers ten breakthroughs-five for the body, five for the soul-that lead to self-transformation. In clear , accessible terms, Chopra shows us how to commit ourselves to deeper aware ness, focus on relationships instead of consumption, embrace every day as a new world, and transcend the obstacles that afflict body and mind. Deepak Chopra has inspired millions with his profound teachings over the years. His bestselling books have explored the mind/body connection and the power of spirit. With his latest book, he invites you to experience with him the miracles that unfold when we connect the body directly to the, As New Stock number: RWARE0000039760. ISBN: 9780307452986

All yoga students, beginners or advanced, will benefit from this accessible book. It studies each of the 26 movements, breathing exercises and rest poses that form the basis of every Bikram yoga class. Regular practise will completely transform your health by reversing and preventing illness. This is the only guide available on Bikram Yoga. `It's never too late, it's never too bad, you're never too old, you're never too sick to start from scratch once again.' Bikram Choudhury Bikram yoga began when Bikram, a former yoga champion, made a full recovery from a crippling accident thanks to yoga, heat and his guru, Bishnu Ghosh. His guru then sent Bikram to Bombay to heal the sick with yoga. Finding that he did not have enough time to help everybody individually, Bikram began to develop an accessible sequence of postures that everyone could follow and benefit from. Today, every class follows the same sequence of 26 postures and exercises in a studio heated to 100 degrees F. This reader-friendly guide studies each of the 26 movements in detail, showing and describing the `ideal' position as well as what the beginner is more likely to be able to achieve initially and the problems they are likely to encounter. Each move is also accompanied by details of its specific health benefit and a student's personal experience of the posture., Very Good Stock number: RWARE0000039793. ISBN: 9780007154999

Imprint: Harry N. Abrams, 2006 All across America, people are knitting for peace. In yarn shops and privat e homes, churches and synagogues, schools and even prisons, they meet on we ekday evenings or weekend afternoons to knit afghans for refugees, mittens for the homeless, socks for soldiers, or preemie caps for AIDS babies. The tradition goes back as far as Martha Washington, who spearheaded knitting e fforts for the soldiers of the Revolutionary War, and has seen a recent flo urishing in what is nowadays called Â?charity knitting,Â? Â?community knitt ing,Â? or Â?knitting for others.Â? And whether itÂ's for world peace, commu nity peace, or peace of mind, todayÂ's various causes have the common goal of knitting the world into a better place one stitch at a time.

Imprint: Viking Adult, 1990 A crisp clean first edition/printing, no markings throughout: Literary grace and sensitivity mark this account of British reporter Christmas's travels in northern England, Wales, Scotland and tragically divided Ireland. While noting that England needed Thatcher to effect certain reforms, the "gypsy journalist" also points to the downside of the prime minister's programs. Supported by interviews with people met on her journeys, Christmas's observations draw attention to vast changes in Britain during the 1980s, which suggest to her Chekhov's The Cherry Orchard , with the trees sacrificed to make money for "man unmoved by the past." But the author expresses the hope that destroying England's "cherry trees" can make room for seedlings that in time will yield fruit to feed citizens hungry for jobs, education and medical care., Near Fine/Near Fine Stock number: RWARE0000019125.

Imprint: Anchor, 1989 Each poem in this diverse anthology reflects its speaker's manipulation of his/her environment, and assessment of his/her relationship to a cultural m ilieu. Thus, the poems share a variety of themes: love, political morality, redemption. Two of the most exciting voices are Lucie Brock- Broido, who wr ites compellingly of our attachment to divinity ("I will betray as a god be trays, / With tenderheartedness. I've got this mystic streak in me"), and W ayne Koestenbaum, who combines a lyrical mysticism with imperative, concret e memory (about his music teacher, he notes, "he'd shout, 'Good show!'. . . / as if his bandroom were Tangier. He led us / in a tango so tranced / it tore my life into parts")., Very Good Stock number: RWARE0000006742. ISBN: 9780385260350

Imprint: Minotaur Books, 2008 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. "Hidden Moon reads more like a spy novel by a Korean Kafka. Final word: Fas cinating." -Rocky Mountain News In A Corpse in the Koryo, James Church introduced readers to one of the mos t unique detectives to appear on page in years---the elusive Inspector O. T he stunning mystery was named one of the best mystery/thrillers of 2006 by the Chicago Tribune for its beautifully spare prose and layered description s of a terrain Church knows by heart. And now the Inspector is back. In Hidden Moon, Inspector O returns from a mission abroad to find his new p olice commander waiting at his office door. There has been a bank robbery-- -the first ever in Pyongyang---and the commander demands action, and quickl y. But is this urgency for real? Somewhere, someone in the North Korean lea dership doesn't want Inspector O to complete his investigation. And why not ? What if the robbery leads to the highest levels of the regime? What if po wer, not a need for cash, is the real reason behind the heist at the Gold S tar Bank? Given a choice, this isn't a trail a detective in the Pyongyang police would want to follow all the way to the end, even a trail marked with monogrammed silk stockings. "I'm not sure I know where the bank is," is O's laconic observation as the warning bells go off in his head. A Scottish policeman sent to provide security for a visiting British official, a sultry Kazakh bank manager, and a mournful fellow detective all combine to put O in the middle of a spiderweb of conspiracies that, Very Good Stock number: RWARE0000037804.
