Edition: Reissue
Binding: Hardback , With Dust Jacket

Vintage copy of a classic " In this satirical and enduringly relevant work of science fiction, the acclaimed Czech author Karel Capek offers a prescient fable of the benefits and dangers of atomic power. Originally published in 1922, the story is set in a then-futuristic Czechoslovakia of 1943, in which an inventor develops the Karburator, a device with the potential to provide abundant low-cost energy. But the reactor's exciting possibilities are shadowed by its dangerous side effect: instead of carbon dioxide, it emits the Absolute, a spiritual essence that inspires a powerful religious fervor. Greed triumphs over ethics as the inventor and his business partner proceed with mass production of the Karburator, resulting in simmering religious strife that ignites a world war ... predicting the catastrophic consequences of the unchecked pursuit of profit by business and industry"-- 187p. glossary.

Binding: Hardback , With Dust Jacket

"On November 15, 1959, in the small town of Holcomb, Kansas, four members of the Clutter family were savagely murdered by blasts from a shotgun held a few inches from their faces.

In one of the first non-fiction novels ever written, Truman Capote reconstructs the murder and the investigation that led to the capture, trial, and execution of the killers, generating both mesmerizing suspense and astonishing empathy. In Cold Blood is a work that transcends its moment, yielding poignant insights into the nature of American violence" 343.Neat,tight, unmarked copy.

Carr, Josephine
The Dewey Decimal System of Love

Imprint: New York, New American Library, 2003
Edition: 1st Pbk Edition
Binding: Softback

Forget those stereotypes about librarians. With long auburn hair and perfect skin, Ally looks half her age of forty. And even though she's been celibate for fifteen years, she doesn't live a monastic life. Ally enjoys the finer things, like her zippy convertible, ice-cold Martinis, classical music, and her sensuously appointed apartment. However, like any good librarian, Ally is discreet in public--and hides her extravagant nature behind a French twist and sensible clothes. But after last night, even her most proper attire can't hide the signs--the pink cheeks, the extra-poufy hair, the bounce in her step. Forty-year-old librarian Alison Sheffield finds her proper, staid, and quiet life turned upside down when she falls head over heels in love.. Book. Book Condition: Near Fine. Binding: Soft cover
