INSIDE C# (WITH CD-ROM)

Imprint: Microsoft Press, 2001
Binding: Paperback

Aimed at those with some previous programming experience, Inside C# shows d evelopers the unique strengths, advantages, and tips for coding with C#. Th is fast-paced and in-depth tutorial will let you use Microsoft's newest pro gramming language on the emerging .NET platform successfully. The outstanding strength of this text is its in-depth language tutorial on C#, with complete coverage of basic and advanced object-oriented programmin g techniques. New language features like properties, indexers, and attribut es get full coverage, alongside the basics of using classes and inheritance . The book relies on using Visual Studio 6.0 and the command- line .NET tools for running programs. (Visual Studio.NET, the next version of Visual Studio , was unavailable when the book was written.) First to market with an in-de pth language tutorial, the focus of Inside C# is on basic and advanced lang uage features. By viewing generated code (using the ILDASM disassembler too l), the author examines how class design features work under the hood. The language tutorial digs into features, beginning with a "Hello, World" p rogram and delving into class design features before moving on to more basi c features like expressions, operators, and flow control. This sequence mak es the book best suited to the experienced developer, since some excellent in-depth material on the most advanced features of C# is presented before t he basics of the language. Throughout, you'll learn the newest features of the language, how to use it, and a sense of its personality. There's also plenty of material on the underlying Microsoft .NET platform, from the basics of the, Very Good+

THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITY: STRUCTURE AND PROCESS

Imprint: Palgrave Macmillan, 1992
Binding: Paperback

Moves towards democracy in Eastern Europe and the collapse of the former So viet Union have launched the EC into a new stage in its evolution, and are testing the strength of the Community on the eve of the Single European Mar ket. Arguments within the EC, on issues of national sovereignty, monetary u nion, and Germany's role are likely to continue, but contradict the EC's de sire to show itself as an effective force in world politics. In the midst o f the polemic and rhetoric, it is easy to lose sight of the EC's original a ims and the extent to which they may be seen to have succeeded or failed. T his authoritative new text provides comprehensive coverage of all aspects o f the EC, including its historical development since the Second World War, its institutional framework, its main policy initiatives (agricultural, eco nomic, regional, social, environmental and foreign), and its relations with the rest of the world. A concluding chapter assesses the prospects for its development during the 1990s., Fine

PREDICTABLY IRRATIONAL, REVISED AND EXPANDED EDITION: THE HIDDEN FORCES THA T SHAPE OUR DECISIONS

Imprint: Harper Perennial, 2010
Binding: Paperback

Why do our headaches persist after we take a one-cent aspirin but disappear when we take a fifty-cent aspirin? Why do we splurge on a lavish meal but cut coupons to save twenty-five cents on a can of soup? When it comes to making decisions in our lives, we think we're making smart , rational choices. But are we? In this newly revised and expanded edition of the groundbreaking New York Times bestseller, Dan Ariely refutes the common assumption that we behave in fundamentally rational ways. From drinking coffee to losing weight, from buying a car to choosing a romantic partner, we consistently overpay, underestimate, and procrastinate. Yet these misguided behaviors are neither random nor senseless. They're systematic and predictable--making us predictably irrational., Good

Aristotle
ARISTOTLE'S POETICS

Imprint: Hill and Wang, 1961
Binding: Paperback

Introduced by Francis Fergusson, the Poetics, written in the fourth century B.C., is still an essential study of the art of drama, indeed the most fun damental one we have. It has been used by both playwrights and theorists of many periods, and interpreted, in the course of its two thousand years of life, in various ways. The literature which has accumulated around it is, a s Mr. Fergusson points out, "full of disputes so erudite that the nonspecia list can only look on in respectful silence." But the Poetics itself is sti ll with us, in all its suggestiveness, for the modern reader to make use of in his turn and for his own purposes. Francis Fergusson's lucid, informative, and entertaining Introduction will prove invaluable to anyone who wishes to understand and appreciate the Poetics. Using Sophocles' Oedipus Rex, as Aristotle did, to illustrate his analysis, Mr. Fergusson pints out that Aristotle did not lay down strict rules, as is often thought: "The Poetics," he says, "is much more like a cookbook than it is like a textbook of elementary engineering." Read in this way, it is an essential guide not only to Sophoclean tragedy, but to the work of so modern a playwright as Bertolt Brecht, who considered his own "epic drama" the first non-Aristotelian form., Good

In Paths to Glory, Mark L. Armour and Daniel R. Levitt review how teams build themselves up into winners. What makes a winning team like the 1900 Brooklyn Superbas or the 1917 White Sox or the 1997 Florida Marlins? And how are these teams different? What makes each championship team a unique product of its time? Armour and Levitt provide the historical context to show how the sports business side has changed dramatically but its competitive environment remains the same. Utilizing new statistics to evaluate a player's value and career patterns, Armour and Levitt explore the teams that took risks, created their own opportunities, and changed the game. How did the Washington Senators achieve the unthinkable and blow past Babe Ruth's Yankees in 1924 and 1925? How did the 1965 Minnesota Twins quickly rise to the top and why did they just as suddenly fall? Did Charlie Finley assemble the last old- fashioned championship team before free agency, or was the Moustache Gang another example of winning by building from within? Why d, Very Good/Very Good

Imprint: Chelsea Green, 2006
Edition: 1st Edition
Binding: Hardcover

A clean hardcover, no markings throughout, NOT an ex-library book: Crashing the Gate is a shot across the bow at the political establishment i n Washington, DC and a call to re-democratize politics in America. This book lays bare, with passion and precision, how ineffective, incompete nt, and antiquated the Democratic Party establishment has become, and how i t has failed to adapt and respond to new realities and challenges. The auth ors save their sharpest knives to go for the jugular in their critique of R epublican ideologues who are now running--and ruining--our country. Written by two of the most popular political bloggers in America, the book hails the new movement--of the netroots, the grassroots, the unorthodox lab or unions, the maverick big donors--that is the antidote to old-school poli tics as usual. Fueled by advances in technology and a hunger for a more aut hentic and populist democracy, this broad-based movement is changing the wa y political campaigns are waged and managed.

EVERY SECOND COUNTS

Imprint: Three Rivers Press, 2004
Binding: Paperback

A crisp clean softcover, no markings throughout: In It's Not about the Bike (Putnam, 2000), Armstrong related his battle with cancer and his incredible Tour de France victory. In this book, he gives a gripping account of his second through (record-tying) fifth victories at the Tour. (His latest triumph might be missed by less-than-thorough readers-it's at the very end, following the afterword.) One sees that Armstrong has grown up quite a bit since his first book. However, he still has a reckless streak, as witnessed by his fondness for diving into a place called Dead Man's Hole. There are glimpses into his personal life and reflections on his illness, but this memoir is unabashedly about the thrill of racing and winning with the U.S. Postal Team. Armstrong talks about his teammates with humility and admiration. He also deals frankly, yet with remarkable restraint, with the accusations of doping by the French. The cyclist still works with his Lance Armstrong Foundation against cancer, but readers get the sense that he is definitely looking forward. Warm and informal in tone, Every Second Counts is a must-read for cycling fans., Near Fine

Binding: Paperback

People around the world have found inspiration in the story of Lance Armstr ong--a world-class athlete nearly struck down by cancer, only to recover an d win the Tour de France, the multiday bicycle race famous for its grueling intensity. Armstrong is a thoroughgoing Texan jock, and the changes brough t to his life by his illness are startling and powerful, but he's just not interested in wearing a hero suit. While his vocabulary is a bit on the he- man side (highest compliment to his wife: "she's a stud"), his actions will melt the most hard-bitten souls: a cancer foundation and benefit bike ride , his astonishing commitment to training that got him past countless hurdle s, loyalty to the people and corporations that never gave up on him. There' s serious medical detail here, which may not be for the faint of heart; fro m chemo to surgical procedures to his wife's in vitro fertilization, you wo n't be spared a single x-ray, IV drip, or unfortunate side effect. Athletes and coaches everywhere will benefit from the same extraordinary detail pro vided about his training sessions--every aching tendon, every rainy afterno on, and every small triumph during his long recovery is here in living colo r. It's Not About the Bike is the perfect title for this book about life, d eath, illness, family, setbacks, and triumphs, but not especially about the bike., Good

Arnott, Jake
LONG FIRM

Imprint: Hodder & Stoughton General D, 2000
Binding: Trade Paperbac

"What's breaking into a bank compared with founding one?" Bertolt Brecht's provocative question opens Jake Arnott's first novel The Long Firm and sets the scene for its memorable exploration of the London underworld at the be ginning of the 1960s. Five very different characters tell their five very d ifferent stories about "Torture Gang Boss" Harry Starks. A man who "liked t o break people" but also a "frightened little child" is how his lover and k ept boy Terry recalls him; a "lower-class tearaway", according to the Tory lord who frequents his erotic parties; a depressive with a diabolical mind, one who likes to "stage manage the fear", in the eyes of his various crimi nal and starlet peers; a product of working- class subculture and a living c ritique of capitalism, concludes the radical young sociologist who teaches him in prison. Harry Starks is the beginning and end of The Long Firm, a co mpelling showman who embodies the brutal realism and impossible dreams at t he heart of Arnott's vision of London low life. The glamour and corruption of that life drive this story but Arnott manages to weave cliche into enigm a, myth into inquiry, in a way that revitalises the well-worn images of the mad and the bad. As Starks would put it, keeping Brecht's question before the readers' eyes, "It's all about the economy of power, Lenny"., Very Good

In the darkness, demons come out to play . . . and someone must bring their sins to light. Part vampire, part werewolf, Riley Jenson knows what can happen when vamps don't play well with others. But she's never seen anything like this: a ser ies of brutal murders surrounding the latest hot spot for vampire-human hoo kups- and the victims aren't just killed, they're beheaded. Now Riley is lau nching into action, toying with a seductive-and highly suspicious-club owne r, and finding herself in the middle of another mystery: women being killed one by one, without a trace of violence. For Riley, solving multiple cases-in a world going mad with human and vampire passions-would have been tough enough. Instead she has two jealous lovers on her hands: Kye Murphy, the amber-eyed werewolf who makes Riley's wolf blood howl-and Quinn, the cool, elegant vamp who has over a thousand years' experience at fulfilling women's desires. While she's busy juggling these two sexy beasts, Riley's detective work takes a stunningly violent turn. Finding a murderer is now a matter of life and death.

Editorial Reviews About the Author I started writing when I was about twelve. I'd just finished reading one of Elaine Mitchell's Brumby books, and hated the fact she killed off my favor ite character--so I rewrote the book and changed the ending. I haven't stop ped writing since, though it's only in the last few years I've seriously th ought about getting published. In 1997, I placed second in the Washington Romance Writers Novel Beginnings contest (specialty romance) with Heart of the Hunter. In 2000, I was short-listed in the Random House George Turner Prize with Spook Squad (urban fantasy). Dancing with the Devil is my first published book, Like New
