Sheer Surrender
A Japanese entertainer and intellectual with a social conscious faces the problem of how to protect himself from a younger, very predatory, female of great beauty and greater ego who has decided that she should save him from a lifetime of being gay by making him her exclusive property, a thought which greatly frightens him. The man's greater-than-life grandmother, acting as a "deus ex machina" who matches her grandson up with the one man he could never forget and the young lady with an up and coming professional who loves her intensely, saves the day and forces everyone to accept a happy ending whether they like it or not.
Adventures in Research
Howard J. Wiarda is one of the leading global scholars of international relations, comparative politics, and foreign policy, and the author/editor of more than sixty books. Now in this highly personal and swashbuckling account, Professor Wiarda tells the stories that lie behind the research: his adventures in Europe, Asia, Latin America, the Middle East, and South Africa. Complementing his academic work, these three volumes are filled with impressions, research findings, gossip, and preliminary ideas and concepts-the true "stuff" of how scholarly books get written. For Wiarda has had a remarkable life: in some of the nation's leading universities, academic policy work in the State and Defense Departments, and denizen of the Washington think tanks. He has also lived abroad for extensive periods and traveled widely in some of the world's most troubled and exciting places. These books tell the story of his "adventures in research".

Midori Days, Vol. 6
The premise for this brand-new romantic manga comedy is actually sweet, (somewhat) innocent, hilarious, and just a little bit bizarre... Seiji Sawamura is the toughest seventeen-year-old in town, feared by all for his fighting prowess and his deadly "devil's right hand." But at heart, Seiji is a softy and all he wants is an end to his 17-year history of being a lonely single guy. Unfortunately his tough guy reputation only serves to decrease his popularity with the ladies. Then one day, Seiji wakes up to discover his "devil's right hand" has turned into...a miniature gal named Midori! Midori is actually a real girl who is just as surprised as Seiji to find out she has now become-literally-Seiji's right hand! It turns out Midori has always had a crush on Seiji, and her desperate wish to be connected to him has somehow really, really come true...
