Imprint: Texas Review Press, 2013 Genesis in Japan rises from a journal of reflections that were collected by the author while teaching the Bible to Japanese university students in Tok yo. It relates the diverse responses to the Bible that rebound, subtly but forcefully, back to the teacher from these students--extraordinary response s, in that they are simple, pure, ordinary, and entirely disorienting. Teaching and learning the Bible in Japan has led the author to another view of the Bible, one that stands in stark contrast with the Bible in the Bible-heavy culture that was the author's beginning at a small crossroads in central South Carolina., Very Good Stock number: RWARE0000036740.

Imprint: Avon, 1999 A week of "mayhem-as-usual" at Hillside Manor kicks off with the arrival of a mysterious "Mr. Smith" and his floozie "Mrs." from New York City-and it accelerates into chaos when Mr. Smith himself kicks off, a victim of the fo ulest of plays. Hostess Judith McMonigle Flynn is shocked to learn that her now-defunct roomer was actually "Legs" Benedict-hit man for the notorious Ronzini Family-and that virtually every other guests at her B&B had good re ason to want Legs broken. Judith's policeman-hubby Joe is understandably pe eved that homicide happened (again!) under his own roof. And when the FBI m oves in-more interested in nabbing a Nazi nutcase than a malicious mobster murderer-the local cops clear out, leaving Judith, Joe and irrepressible co usin Renie to find out who whacked the wiseguy before the hits keep coming., Very Good Stock number: RWARE0000012284.

An exploration of the city Australians love to hate, this book shows that there is more to the capital of Australia than politics, geometrically designed roads, and mid-century architecture. Canberra is a city of orphans: people arrive temporarily for work, but stay when they discover the unanticipated promise and opportunity Canberra has to offer. From the lake and its forgotten suburbs-traces of which can still be found on Burley Griffin's banks-to the mountains that surround the city, this account also examines the unsavory early life of Canberra and the graveyard at St. John's, where the pioneers rest., Very Good/Very Good Stock number: RWARE0000034663.

Imprint: Berkley Hardcover, 2009 The riveting untold story of the Marine missions that led to free elections in Afghanistan. In late June 2005, media reports recounted the tragic story of nineteen U.S . military soldiers and Marines who died at the hands of Ahmad Shah-and the lone survivor who was rescued-in the Hindu Kush Mountains of Afghanistan. The harrowing events of Operation Red Wings marked the beginning of an impo rtant-yet widely misreported-chapter in the Global War on Terror. Victory Point reveals the complete and untold story of Operation Red Wings, and the follow-up mission, Operation Whalers. It is the story not of a mis sion gone wrong, but of a complex and difficult campaign that finally saw t he demise of Ahmad Shah and his band of barbarous fighters. Thanks to the valor of the 2nd Battalion of the 3rd Marine Regiment in the summer of 2005, Afghanistan was able to hold free elections that Fall. Here is the inspiring true account of heroism, duty, and brotherhood between marines fighting the War on Terror. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title., Very Good/Very Good Stock number: RWARE0000028450.

Imprint: Mcgraw-Hill, 1996 A crisp clean softcover, no markings throughout: Men are the bigger sex, writes Darden, but women are the fatter sex. A woma n's hormones--coupled with pregnancy and childbirth--conspire to add fat th roughout her life, making the average woman's body a little over 47 percent fat by the time she's 50. Darden believes that there's only one way to permanently change this equati on--to turn on the body's natural fat-burning mechanisms--and it's not aero bic exercise. He's a passionate advocate of strength training as the best m ethod for improving a body's ratio of muscle to fat. Darden also asserts th at there's only one way to effectively strength train, and that's using the excruciatingly tedious Super Slow system. He makes a convincing argument f or the system, but he's among a tiny handful of exercise professionals who believe that people should train one way and one way only for the rest of t heir lives. Virtually everyone else says you should frequently change train ing methods to keep your body from getting so used to one type of exercise that it stops making improvements. Those who have purchased one or more of Darden's 42 previous books will recognize most of the information in "Body Defining." But if you're new to his work, you'll find provocative ideas about how keeping your body cooler helps it burn more calories, and why you should drink much more water than you're consuming now. The actual exercise and nutrition programs are pretty strict, but Darden peppers the book with before-and-after photos of women for whom it worked., Very Good+ Stock number: RWARE0000020391.

The good news is that Nikki and Virgil make a more interest ing (and sexier) dream team in fiction than Darden and Clark did in real li fe. When Nikki is assigned to a high-profile case prosecuting Randy Bingham , the spaced-out son of a wealthy financier, for the murder of his girlfrie nd, Shelli Dietz, she and Virgil develop a special relationship with Shelli 's orphaned son, a brilliant and precocious 10-year-old computer genius who 's the chief witness against Bingham., Fine Stock number: RWARE0000000477.
