The Ice
The world’s most hostile environment just became even deadlier... Brutal, unforgiving, and breathtaking—for American biologist Kathy McNeely, much of Antarctica’s lure lies in its dangerous beauty. Part of an international research team sent to study the long-term effects of an oil spill on the ecology, Kathy’s focus is on the penguin population. As she uncovers a mysterious new threat to the birds, a sudden blizzard drives more than snow to her team’s remote field camp. Archaeologist-turned-adventurer Brian Hurley isn’t the kind of man to stay in one place very long. But the fierce whiteout conditions force him to postpone training for his record-breaking sledge run to the South...
Down to Earth
Vengeance knows no bounds Emergency Landing Station No. 17, light-years away from our solar system, has rarely been used since the Space Corps developed bigger and better ships that can bypass the planetoid as they head into deep space. Yet all the E.L.S.’s, including No. 17, are still manned by intrepid volunteers from an overpopulated Earth. Dave Perry and his family are drawing to the end of a three-year assignment on E.L.S. 17. Their time at the station passed relatively uneventfully, the simulated weather and high-tech holograms mimic Earth well enough that it’s easy to forget it’s all an illusion. Until the incidents begin—flawless machines start to malfunction, anomalies appea...
Stalk
A loving couple's peaceful life in Southern California is shattered when their secret pasts catch up to them with a vengeance. Unknown to each other, he is a former CIA agent unfairly blamed for the death of a fellow agent and forced to assume a new identity, while she is the ex-wife of a drug kingpin who was relocated by the Federal Witness Protection Program.
Trail
In 1804, Meriwether Lewis and William Clark set forth to explore and map the West, and forge a trade route to the Pacific coast. Though their adventures and contributions to American history are well known, a vital member of their team was nearly forgotten by time. Amid the soldiers, cartographers, and boatmen, one particular explorer in The Corps of Discovery stands out: Seaman, Captain Lewis’s giant black Newfoundland dog. Seaman is more than a just a companion. He is a skilled hunter, a talented scout, and a fierce guardian, frequently risking his own life to save that of his master’s. Along with Seaman, Sacajawea, and the intrepid pioneers in their party, Lewis and Clark face countless dangers—starvation, deadly storms, and hostile tribes—as they attempt to achieve President Jefferson’s ambitious assignment. Based on expedition journals and other historical documents, Trail is a gripping retelling of a true American adventure that vividly captures the inspiration, courage, and imagination of the Westward Expansion.
Way Out
An angel among demons. Seventeen-year-old songstress Donna Roberts is the kind of natural talent record executives dream of signing. Naïve and beautiful, she’s also the kind of woman they dream of corrupting. Which is why studio PR man Jack Darrin is assigned to keep an eye on Donna when she arrives in Los Angeles. Darrin helps Donna navigate the treacherous Hollywood music scene, loaded with slick celebrities, desperate groupies, and dangerous criminals. But the greatest threat Donna faces isn’t one that lurks amid the gilded throngs of the glamorous parties. Someone is stalking Donna from the shadows—waiting, watching. Is it a man from her past? An obsessed fan? Whoever he is, his seething obsession with Donna has already driven him to violence, and now Darrin is the only obstacle left in his way.
Stalk
Survival is just the beginning. For three years, ex-CIA agent Barney McLean has been leading a quiet double life in Fortune, California. His peaceful retirement is shattered when two hit men break-in, looking for his long-time girlfriend Angie. But she’s already gone, along with her young son Tony. It turns out, Angie was hiding some dangerous secrets of her own. A mafia informant in the witness protection program, Angie Simmons—formerly Angela Marchetti—lived in fear ever since she testified against her powerful mobster husband, worried that someday he would track her down. If he catches up to Angie and the kid before McLean does, no one will be able to protect her. As McLean desperately tries to find Angie, he is pursued by his own past—a rogue CIA agent with a blood vendetta against McLean. He’ll stop at nothing to see McLean dead. Hunted by both the mob and the feds, McLean is on his own now, running out of time and luck as he races across the country to save the woman he loves.
Approaches to Algebra
In Greek geometry, there is an arithmetic of magnitudes in which, in terms of numbers, only integers are involved. This theory of measure is limited to exact measure. Operations on magnitudes cannot be actually numerically calculated, except if those magnitudes are exactly measured by a certain unit. The theory of proportions does not have access to such operations. It cannot be seen as an "arithmetic" of ratios. Even if Euclidean geometry is done in a highly theoretical context, its axioms are essentially semantic. This is contrary to Mahoney's second characteristic. This cannot be said of the theory of proportions, which is less semantic. Only synthetic proofs are considered rigorous in Gr...
Interpreters with Lewis and Clark
A frank portrayal of Toussaint Charbonneau, a French-Canadian fur trader, who, with his Shoshone Indian wife Sacagawea, joined the Lewis and Clark expedition in 1803. While Sacagawea assumed legendary status as a "token of peace", Toussaint has been maligned in fiction and nonfiction alike.
The Bestiary of Christ
A legendary work of religious scholarship and art history--now available in its first English translation. This volume introduces American readers to a compendium of animal symbolism that ranks with the greatest of the classical and medieval bestiaries. 400 woodcuts.
The Magnificent Siberian
In Russia, everything has a price. In Far East Siberia, Russia, a sense of independence from the central government prevailed, even under harsh Communist rule. Now, with the nation in political turmoil, poachers operate in brazen defiance of the law. Their targets—rare Siberian tigers—fetch hundreds of thousands of dollars on the black market. American biologist Chris Harmon is part of a joint Russian-American research team investigating the tigers’ survival in the Sikhote-Alin preserve. Harmon’s recent discovery of a tiger and her three young cubs is threatened by a politician’s lucrative thirty-year logging contract, which could destroy their habitat. His petition to oppose the d...
