Crystal Palace
Was the sudden death of Cynthia January accidental, as the police claim, or was it murder? Hired by her sister Sarah, red-headed PI Deirdre Cash agrees that it is unlikely to have been accidental. She begins her investigation with a visit to the palatial mansion of the fascinating Crystal January and meets Crystals brother Drake, whom she discovers to be more than merely fascinating. In her pursuit of evidence, she encounters a bevy of beautiful women, along with police, attorneys, and others who keep her interested. After Sarah is murdered at Crystals mansion, Deirdres persistence leads to attempts on her own life. A case that began with a visit to Crystals palace ends there in its ruins and Deirdres life is never the same.
Philosophers of Process
Since the publication of the first edition of Philosophers of Process, interest in American Pragmatism - particularly Peirce and Dewey - has continued to grow. In addition, there is another group whose interest is more straightforwardly metaphysical. The interests of this group tend toward the works of Whitehead, Hartshorne, and sometimes Bergson and James.
We Are Lincoln Men
In this brilliant and illuminating portrait of our sixteenth president, two-time Pulitzer Prize-winner David Herbert Donald examines the significance of friendship in Abraham Lincoln's life and the role it played in shaping his career and his presidency. Though Abraham Lincoln had hundreds of acquaintances and dozens of admirers, he had almost no intimate friends. Behind his mask of affability and endless stream of humorous anecdotes, he maintained an inviolate reserve that only a few were ever able to penetrate. Professor Donald's remarkable book offers a fresh way of looking at Abraham Lincoln, both as a man who needed friendship and as a leader who understood the importance of friendship in the management of men. Donald penetrates Lincoln's mysterious reserve to offer a new picture of the president's inner life and to explain his unsurpassed political skills.
