Wild Fading Laughter
Victor Carroll is not a good person-but he wants to be. In trouble with the mob-he flees the city for his suburban hometown. Helped by his estranged brother-he escapes with his life-and takes refuge in rural South Africa. There he befriends a young orphan boy named Themba. The two become fast friends. But danger still looms. Victor risks his life to protect Themba from the greatest evil they have ever known. Through their sacrifices-and the tragic violence that ensues-Victor and Themba learn the wisdom of love-that life itself is about loving everyone and telling the truth-no matter how impossible the task may seem.
Judgment Day
For weeks, lovely eleven-year old Louise Mortlock lay in a deathlike coma while her parents watched in guilt-wracked agony. They blamed themselves for coming to the isolated New England village where their little girl had been made to feel so painfully out of place. They cursed the day they had moved into the Victorian mansion where Louise had her sickening accident. Then, as if by a miracle, Louise returned to life. Joyfully her parents gave thanks to God or to whatever force had brought her back. That was before they, and then the entire town, discovered the difference between the Louise who had descended helplessly into darkness and the Louise who had returned with a hideous power that seemed to come from beyond the grave to wreak vengeance on all she hated. And the reign of total terror by one little girl began.

Interface Criticism
From the screen of our laptops, and from the ubiquitous portable devices, smart phones, and media players, to the embedded computation in clothes, architecture and big urban screens, interfaces are everywhere. They are simultaneously demanding our attention and computing quietly in the background, turning action into inter-action, and mediating our experience of and relations to the social and environmental. But how can aesthetics respond to this, and how do interfaces set the scene for artistic practices? Interface Criticism is not another design manual but a critical investigation for readers interested in the aesthetic, cultural and political dimensions of interfaces. With contributions f...
The Maxwell Mystery
From mystery maven Carolyn Wells, the author of The Clue, comes another classic cozy locked-room whodunit. The set-up is vintage Wells: Guests gather at Maxwell Chimneys, the stately home of Alexander Maxwell, for a weekend of picnics and charades. During a dance party, Alexander's nephew Philip Maxwell is murdered. The murder weapon is quickly located in the hand of an unconscious woman lying next to the corpse, who has been shot in the shoulder. A local detective is hired and is aided in his investigation by one of the guests. Everyone is a suspect and the clues shift to implicate one guest and then another. Ultimately, the amateur sleuths call in the famous detective Fleming Stone to solve the pieces of the puzzle. The Maxwell Mystery marks the debut of Detective Fleming Stone.
Settlers of the American West
Depictions of the American west in literature, art and film perpetuate romantic stereotypes of the pioneers--the gold-crazed '49er, the intrepid sodbuster. While ennobling the woodsman, the farmwife and the lawman, this tunnel vision of American history has shortchanged the whaler, the assayer, the innkeeper and the inventor. The westward advance of the trailblazers created demand for a gamut of unsung adventurers--surveyors, financiers, politicians, surgeons, entertainers, grocers and midwives--who built communities and businesses in the wilderness amid clashes with Indians, epidemics, floods, droughts and outlawry. Chronicling the worthy deeds, ethnicities, languages and lifestyles of ordinary people who survived a stirring period in American history, this book provides biographical information for hundreds of individual pioneers on the North American frontier, from the Mississippi River Valley as far west as Alaska. Appendices list pioneers by state or country of departure, destination, ethnicity, religion and occupation. A chronology of pioneer achievements places them in perspective.
