A story that details the triumphs and travails of the popular post-war press.
Some might opine that the rush to microminiaturization has overflowed the bounds of reason, but the nine selected papers here solemnly discuss using DNA strands as individual computers, a concept loosed upon the world by Leonard Adleman in 1994. They explore constructing a molecular computer, breaking DES using a molecular computer, speeding up computations with molecular biology, the complexity of restricted and unrestricted models of molecular computation, and other considerations. No index. The member prices are $29 for individual and $39 for institutions. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR

This is a story about three young men whose relationship starts at school and develops into manhood through the Anglican church. It exposes the machinations of the church, probably similar to other denominations. It’s a torrid tale of questionable ethics, seduction, and sexual excess, leading to crime and finally redemption. The three young men become ministers for all the wrong reasons. Sin is an acceptable indiscretion, not just for them but also for those with whom they associate both inside the church as well as in the wider community. Primal instincts are played out in secular boundaries between the various characters in the story.
From the critically acclaimed author of The Food Chain and Footsucker comes a sophisticated comedy about three people caught in the Hollywood machine. Following the death of his wife, Henry Cadwallader, an English doctor, insists on accompanying his aspiring actress daughter, Dorothy, on a trip to Hollywood. He fears she will fall prey to corruption and sleaze, but finds that it is actually he who is being corrupted at every turn. On the flight to LA, they meet 'auteur of the future' Rick McCartney. Rick's trying to get the backing to make a costume drama set in seventeenth-century England about a man who owns what he fears is the last dodo on earth. Dorothy Cadwallader's quest for fame begins badly and goes downhill from there. Meanwhile Henry becomes involved with a former actress turned estate agent. The lives of Henry and Dorothy once again intersect with that of Rick McCartney to dramatic effect as the characters find themselves drawn to the brink, where dreams die and extinction threatens. Sharp humor and keen observation drive Geoff Nicholson's satisfyingly oblique look at America's obsession with stardom.
Examines the construction of images of masculinity and the effect they have on identity, sexuality and sexual politics. Influences from black and white culture are explored as well as the ironies of class, colour and sexuality.
