Paperback. Etat : Good. A young girl stands alone in the cobbled market place of a small Lincolnshire town, bedraggled, soaked through and very afraid. Who is she? Where has she come from and from whom is she running away? No one knows or cares. Only kindly farmer, Eddie Appleyard, recognises something in the girl that touches his heart. In a drunken haze and scarcely realising what he is doing, Eddie takes her home even though his wife is a tyrant, who will believe the worst. 'Is this your fancy piece?' Bertha accuses and turns Anna out into the cold, wet night. Eddie hides the girl in the hayloft and, later, in a tumbledown shepherd's cottage that becomes her new home. Anna's arrival will change their lives; Eddie's, Bertha's and even that of their young son, Tony, torn between his warring parents and the mysterious stranger. It will take years for the secrets of Anna's former life to be revealed, but Bertha bides her time and awaits her moment, little realising the tragedy her vengeance will unleash.…

In A Man for Every Purpose, we explore the story of one woman's very personal and refreshingly honest exploration of relationships (the good, the bad, and the strange) and all that comes with searching for the right one. For years, Katie thinks she has it made-happy in a steady marriage-but life is nothing if not unpredictable. As her first true love vanishes before her eyes, she is forced to understand the world of love, sex, and relationships. Is one better than the other? Can all three things exist simultaneously, or is a woman doomed to settle for less than what her heart, mind, and body desires? In her search for Mr. Right, our endearing and fearless heroine discovers a bit more than she bargained for. Not only about the men who occupy different roles in her life, but about the person she's set out to be as well. A Man for Every Purpose is cheeky, smart, entertaining, and ultimately, wise. It will make you laugh and cry as you read about her endless attempts searching for what she thinks is true love. Along the way, you may see yourself in our heroine, or, even some of her men. And we guarantee you'll identify with the realities of love and dating in modern America.…

Hardback. Etat : Good. Emily Dickinson, poet of the interior life, imagined words/swords, hurling barbed syllables/piercing. Nothing about her adult appearance or habitation revealed such a militant soul. Only poems, written quietly in a room of her own, often hand-stitched in small volumes, then hidden in a desk drawer, revealed her true self. She did not live in time, as did that other great poet of the day, Walt Whitman, but in universals. As she knowingly put it: There is one thing to be grateful for--that one is one's self and not somebody else.Dickinson lived and died without fame: she saw only a few poems published. Her great legacy was later rescued from her desk drawer--an astonishing body of work revealing her acute, sensitive nature reaching out boldly from self-referral to a wider, imagined world. Her family sought publication of Dickinson's poetry over the years, selecting verses, often altering her words or her punctuation, until, in 1955, the first important attempt was made to collect and publish Dickinson's work, edited by Thomas H. Johnson for the Belknap Press of Harvard University Press.Now, after many years of preparation by Ralph Franklin, the foremost scholar of Dickinson's manuscripts, a new comprehensive edition is available. This three-volume work contains 1,789 poems, the largest number ever assembled. The poems, arranged chronologically, based on new dating, are drawn from a range of archives, most frequently from holographs, but also from various secondary sources representing lost manuscripts. The text of each manuscript is rendered individually, including, within the capacity of standard type, Dickinson's spelling, capitalization, and punctuation. Franklin gives Dickinson's alternative readings for the poems, her revisions, and the line and page, or column, divisions in the source. Each entry identifies Franklin's editorial emendations and records the publication history, including variants. Fourteen appendices of tables and lists give additional information, including poems attributed to Emily Dickinson. The poems are indexed by numbers from the Johnson edition, as well as by first lines.Franklin has provided an introduction that serves as a guide to this edition and surveys the history of the editing of Dickinson's poems. His account of how Dickinson conducted her workshop is a reconstruction of a remarkable poetic life.…

Paperback. Etat : Good. A beautifully illustrated, accessible beginner?s guide to the Hubble Space Telescope. Acclaimed astronomer Terence Dickinson and his longtime editor, Tracy C. Read, team up to explore the starry treasures in our galaxy and beyond as revealed by the Hubble Space Telescope. Since Galileo pointed his telescope at the starry night in 1609 and discovered that the hazy patch above us was not a cloud but a ?river? of uncountable stars?the Milky Way, our home galaxy?humans have been improving on ways to understand the cosmos. We have devised ever more powerful telescopes and placed them on mountaintops, far from the bright lights of cities. But the launch of the Hubble Space Telescope in 1990 was the first time we?d sent a telescope into space, beyond the distorting effects caused by looking through the Earth?s atmosphere. Orbiting roughly 350 miles above Earth and circling the planet more than 5,000 times a year, Hubble has made over 1.3 million observations, revealing the vast scope of the expanding universe beyond our solar system. In The Hubble Space Telescope: Our Eye on the Universe, young readers find out how this groundbreaking telescope gathers imagery and transmits it to Earth. This book shares what Hubble has taught us about the universe and explains its top discoveries. Chapters filled with the telescope?s latest photography offer insight into: stormy weather on our solar system?s planets and moons and dramatic collisions in space; star clusters, nebulas and the Milky Way Galaxy; the Milky Way?s galaxy neighbours; massive black holes and dark matter; planets beyond our solar system; star nurseries and glimpses of distant galaxies in deep space. …
