Imprint: Allen Lane, 2011 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. In The Quantum Universe, Brian Cox and Jeff Forshaw approach the world of q uantum mechanics in the same way they did in Why Does E=mc2? and make funda mental scientific principles accessible-and fascinating-to everyone. The subatomic realm has a reputation for weirdness, spawning any number of profound misunderstandings, journeys into Eastern mysticism, and woolly pro nouncements on the interconnectedness of all things. Cox and Forshaw's cont ention? There is no need for quantum mechanics to be viewed this way. There is a lot of mileage in the "weirdness" of the quantum world, and it often leads to confusion and, frankly, bad science. The Quantum Universe cuts thr ough the Wu Li and asks what observations of the natural world made it nece ssary, how it was constructed, and why we are confident that, for all its a pparent strangeness, it is a good theory. The quantum mechanics of The Quantum Universe provide a concrete model of nature that is comparable in its essence to Newton's laws of motion, Maxwell's theory of electricity and magnetism, and Einstein's theory of relativity., Very Good/Very Good Stock number: RWARE0000034517.

"'I think it must have been two o'clock at least when I thought I heard a s ound in that--that odious dark recess at the far end of the bedroom.... Wit hout at first a suspicion of anything supernatural, on a sudden I saw an ol d man, rather stout and square, in a sort of roan-red dressing-gown, and wi th a black cap on his head, moving stiffly and slowly in a diagonal directi on, from the recess, across the floor of the bedroom, passing my bed at the foot, and entering the lumber-closet at the left. He had something under h is arm; his head hung a little at one side; and, merciful God! when I saw h is face....'" There's nothing like a good ghost story. And in Victorian Ghost Stories, Michael Cox and R.A. Gilbert bring together thirty-five well wrought tales of haunted houses, vengeful spirits, spectral warnings, invisible antagonists, and motiveless malignity from beyond the grave. The Victorians excelled at the ghost story, it was as much a part of their literary culture as the realistic novel, and it was practiced by almost all the great writers of the age. Cox and Gilbert here provide samples from Charles Dickens, Robert Louis Stevenson, Rudyard Kipling, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Henry James, and Wilkie Collins, as well as such classic ghost-story specialists as M.R.

Imprint: Simon & Schuster, 1993 A highly collectible first edition, protected in a new brodart wrapper. This novel by the author of Trial by Fire reads like an extraordinarily complicated, high-tech chess game. Sometime in the not too distant future, Ukraine refuses to relinquish its nuclear arsenal to Russia, and a state of anarchy sweeps over most of Eastern Europe. American troops, led by enormously likable General "Big Al" Malin, are sent to restore order; with Russian help, they snatch the nukes from the Ukrainian silos. But vengeful German Chancellor Johann Ruff, embittered since the waning days of WW II when allied bombs blew up his family, traps the American troops passing through his country with the Ukranian weapons and flexes some nuclear muscle of his own. In the cat-and-mouse game that follows, every strategic move by the Germans is either anticipated or countered by the Americans, who employ a clever plan devised by "Big Al" to make the Germans think he's an out-of-control warrior. Coyle describes complex weapons systems in minute detail--indeed., Very Good+/Very Good+ Stock number: RWARE0000010567. ISBN: 9780671778002

Imprint: Penguin Books Ltd, 2000 Lying in the sand dunes of Baritone Bay are the bodies of a middle-aged cou ple. Zoologists Joseph and Celice returned to the site of their first lovem aking to rekindle the flame thirty years into their marriage, only to be ba ttered to death by a thief with a chunk of granite. Their bodies lie undisc overed and rotting for a week, prey to sand-crabs, flies and gulls, and yet there is something touching about this scene--it's in the way that Joseph' s hand curves lightly around Celice's leg, "quietly resting; flesh on flesh ; dead but not departed yet." Being Dead is more about the leavings of death than it is about the state o f death itself. Running crazy fate lines between the past and present of Jo seph and Celice, Crace returns again and again to those mutilated bodies in the dunes with updates on the colour of their decaying skin, the seeping f luids and the creatures feeding off them. This is not a murder book-- the k iller is perhaps the least important character. But Crace gives some wonder ful glances at death- professionals, in particular a drugged-up lascivious mortuary clerk; "He'd find his own name on the list one day...Enfin, a name to make his heart stand still. Sincere at last." Jim Crace is the author of Continent, The Gift of Stones, Arcadia, Signals of Distress and Quarantine, which won the 1997 Whitbread Novel Award and wa s shortlisted for the 1997 Booker Prize and IMPAC Literary Prize. Crace has won numerous other awards, including the EM Forster Award and the Guardian Fiction Award. -- Anna Davis --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.

Imprint: Penguin Books Ltd, 2001 Stalingrad, the bloodiest battle in the history of warfare, cost the lives of nearly two million men and women. It signaled the beginning of the end f or the Third Reich of Adolf Hitler; it foretold the Russian juggernaut that would destroy Berlin and make the Soviet Union a superpower. As Winston Ch urchill characterized the result of the conflict at Stalingrad: "¿the hinge of fate had turned." William Craig, author and historian, has painstakingl y recreated the details of this great battle: from the hot summer of August 1942, when the German armies smashed their way across southern Russia towa rd the Volga River, through the struggle for Stalingrad-a city Hitler had n ever meant to capture and Stalin never meant to defend-on to the destructio n of the supposedly invincible German Sixth Army and the terror of the Russ ian prison camps in frozen Siberia. Craig has interviewed hundreds of survi vors of the battle-both Russian and German soldiers and civilians-and has w oven their incredible experiences into the fabric of hitherto unknown docum ents. The resulting mosaic is epic in scope, and the human tragedy that unf olds is awesome., Fine Stock number: RWARE0000000969. ISBN: 9780141003160

From Library Journal In this fast-paced thriller, novelist Kit Reed ( Catholic Girls , LJ 8/87) has taken on a new pseudonym as well as a new genre. Clary Hale's husband T om, a navy captain, was lost at sea four years ago. When Clary disappears, her three children--Teah, Mike, and Tommy (aged 16, 15, and four)--believe she's gone on a secret mission to find their father. But as time passes, th ey realize she's been kidnapped by Cleve Morrow, a charismatic madman from her past. They trail the pair from Connecticut to the jungles of Florida, w here a tense cat-and-mouse game is played to the death. Of course, the idea of two teenagers and a child embarking on a cross-country rescue mission i s silly, but the author's portrait of Cleve, the seductive psychopath, is s o stunning that it's easy to forget the ridiculous premise--and hard to put down the book.

Imprint: Ballantine Books, 2006 Crais's latest L.A.-based crime novel featuring super-sleuth Elvis Cole ble nds high-powered action, a commanding cast and a touch of dark humor to exc ellent dramatic effect. One morning at four, Cole gets a call from the LAPD informing him that a murdered John Doe has claimed, with his dying breath, to be Cole's father, a man Cole has never met. Cole immediately gets to wo rk gathering evidence on the dead man - Herbert Faustina, aka George Reinni ke - while cramping the style of the assigned detective, Jeff Pardy. Though Cole finds Reinnike's motel room key at the crime scene, the puzzle pieces are tough to put together, even with the unfailing help of partner Joe Pik e and feisty ex-Bomb Squad techie Carol Starkey, who's so smitten with Cole that she can't think of him without smiling. Days of smart sleuthing work take the self-proclaimed "World's Greatest Detective" from a Venice Beach e scort service to the California desert, then a hospital in San Diego, where doubts about Reinnike's true heritage begin to dissipate. Meanwhile, a del usional psychopath named Frederick Conrad, who is convinced that his partne r in crime was killed by Cole, stalks and schemes to even the score. There' s lots to digest, but this character-driven series continues to be strong i n plot, action and pacing, and Crais (The Last Detective) boasts a distinct ive knack for a sucker-punch element of surprise., Very Good Stock number: RWARE0000013611.

Imprint: Simon & Schuster, 2013 A read copy, but spine unblemished, no markings throughout: The most intimate portrait of GEORGE H. W. BUSH ever published George Herbe rt Walker Bush, the forty-first president of the United States and the patr iarch of America's most powerful political dynasty, never wrote a memoir. B ut bestselling author and Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter Richard Ben Crame r took the full measure of President Bush in his thousand-page epic, What I t Takes-one of the most influential and respected works of journalism and b iography of the modern era. Drawn from those pages and edited by Cramer shortly before he died, this bo ok traces how seminal moments in President Bush's life formed his character and foretold his legacy. The result is a loving portrait that remains as f resh, relevant, and insightful as the day it was first published. *** Tell the truth, Bush wasn't much for programs, one way or the other. It was n't that he wanted to do anything . . . except a good job. He wanted to be a Senator. . . . Just about the time he was thinking it over, about to anno unce his big move, there were stories in the paper-front page, it was awful !-about this little girl in the Houston public housing, sleeping on the flo or, who'd got bitten by a rat! God, what a shame! . . . Bush didn't think a bout a program for housing, or maybe calling that Councilman he helped to e lect-propose a rat eradication plan! No, he called home, that afternoon: "Bar . . . You think we could give that family our baby bed?" And they did. That very evening, George came home, packed up that bed, and took it right over. -from Being Poppy, Very Good/Very Good Stock number: RWARE0000028203. ISBN: 9781476745411

Imprint: Simon & Schuster, 2009 Even after repeated boom and bust cycles on Wall Street, it's still possibl e to make real money in the stock market-provided investors take a discipli ned approach to investing. Financial guru Jim Cramer shows how ordinary inv estors can prosper, no matter the climate on Wall Street. How do we find hot stocks without getting burned? How do we fatten our port folios and stay financially healthy? Former hedge-fund manager and longtime Wall Street commentator Jim Cramer explains how to invest wisely in chaoti c times, and he does so in plain English in a style that is as much fun as investing is-or should be, when it's done right. For starters, Cramer recommends devoting a portion of your assets to specul ation. Everyone wants to find the big winners that can bring outsized gains , and Cramer explains how to allocate your portfolio so that you can afford to take this kind of risk wisely. He explains why "buy and hold" is a losi ng philosophy: For Cramer, it's "buy and homework." If you can't spend an h our a week researching each of your stocks, then you should hand off your p ortfolio to a mutual fund-and Cramer identifies the very few mutual funds t hat he'd recommend. Cramer reveals his Ten Commandments of Trading (Commandment #5: Tips are fo r waiters). He explains why he's not afraid to compare investing to gamblin g (and tells you which book on gambling you should read to become a better investor). He discloses his Twenty-Five Rules of Investing (Rule #4: Look f or broken stocks, not broken companies). Cramer shows how to compare stock prices in a way that you can understand, how to spot market tops and bottoms, how to know when, Very Good Stock number: RWARE0000034102. ISBN: 9780743224895

Imprint: Simon & Schuster, 2000 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. A groundbreaking, breathtaking biography of one of the Century's great icons, the late Joe Dimaggio, from the acclaimed Pulitzer Prize winning author of the bestseller WHAT IT TAKES. Few celebrities have captivated the sport's world for as long, or with such depth, as Joe DiMaggio. Here, for the first time, is the definitive story of his life, as told by the award-winning journalist Richard Ben Cramer. In Cramer's hands, DiMaggio's complicated life, from the first game with the Yankees in the 1930's, his marriage to Marilyn Monroe and his rise to hero status, becomes a story of the media, the invention of a national celebrity in America, and the ways in which fame can both build and destroy. Using his renowned investigative skills, Cramer has uncovered startling, even shocking, information about DiMaggio's life and presents them with his trademark combination of 'jarring, unsentimental prose' (THE NEW YORK TIMES)., Very Good/Very Good Stock number: RWARE0000030063.

Imprint: Vintage, 1993 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. An American Iliad in the guise of contemporary political reportage, What It Takes penetrates the mystery at the heart of all presidential campaigns: How do presumably ordinary people acquire that mixture of ambition, stamina, and pure shamelessness that makes a true candidate? As he recounts the frenzied course of the 1988 presidential race -- and scours the psyches of contenders from George Bush and Robert Dole to Michael Dukakis and Gary Hart -- Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Richard Ben Cramer comes up with the answers, in a book that is vast, exhaustively researched, exhilarating, and sometimes appalling in its revelations., Very Good Stock number: RWARE0000040088.

Imprint: Sterling, 1999 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. Fully clothed, individually named, and photographed in delightful settings, Anita Louise Crane's teddy bears have a sweet, country appeal. In Two-Hour Teddy Bears, Crane offers patterns and instructions for 17 animals (a few cute bunnies mingle with the bears). Most are fairly easy, made even easier by the fact that some creations are simply synthetic-fur heads set atop stuffed-sack bodies that are cleverly camouflaged by cotton dresses, lacy aprons, flannel vests, or woolen jackets. The bears themselves aren't terribly varied, but their relative simplicity and charming outfits should appeal to teddy bear fans who possess at least basic sewing skills., Very Good/Very Good Stock number: RWARE0000008894.
