Paperback. Etat : Good. Young Jack Laney wakes on an ordinary morning in early summer to the familiar sounds and smells that populate his small world. Taking his time to savor it all and dream for a moment of what the day might bring, he is unaware that he will soon be uprooted from the people and places and things that have given him life and security and happiness. When the reality finally sinks in the resulting struggle heightens each and every experience of his last months in familiar surroundings and amplifies the importance of every moment. He finds his desire to hang on is as strong as his need to let go. Where there was once just a girl from the neighboring farm there is now a mystery, where before there were three old ladies he was forced to visit in the dimness of a room they have not left for many years there are now three great aunts who reveal lives and loves and dreams he had never imagined to be a part of their lives. The young boy's story and where he finds himself reveals a greater story of many loves and many losses, of youth and first love, of adult wisdom, of nurturing and of family. For our hero it is a story fraught with the thrill and the pain of coming of age with all of its many rights of passage. Yet, it is also the story of those who came before him and how they shaped his life.…

Paperback. Etat : Good. Since Anna McKenna lost her parents as a young child, she's done everything she can to care for her disabled baby brother. Now eighteen, the beautiful young woman has a chance to provide for them both. The year is 1978, and Anna has been discovered by modeling agent Natasha Burns. Anna quickly realizes that the fashion industry attracts sleazy characters who prey on the innocence and na vet of newcomers, but she thinks she can handle herself. Her uncle Mickey, a police detective, isn't so sure. He knows that one of Burns's models was found raped and murdered only three months ago, and when a second model meets the same fate after a party at Studio 54, he becomes convinced that a sexual predator stalks Burns's modeling agency. Who preys on the women of Natasha Burns's agency? Is it the seedy movie producer who accosts Anna at Bloomingdale's, a photographer, or the handsome male model she travels with on assignment to Italy? In an industry where women are seen as objects to be used and discarded, anyone could be responsible. Knowing the killer could be anywhere, even lurking in Italy, Anna's uncle, Detective Mickey Gallo, is on the next plane out, with no time to waste. If he doesn't catch the killer, Anna's modeling career will end in violence and tragedy.…

Hardback. Etat : Very Good. Recreation without Humiliation is the first comprehensive study of Black amusement venues established by Black Americans for Black Americans. Mary Stanton's extensive research on African American amusement parks in America explores not only segregation, class, and social barriers but also the notion of the 'pursuit of happiness' as an inalienable right for all races and classes of people. Inspired by summers spent on Coney Island, where Stanton became curious about the existence of African American amusement parks in America, Stanton's research uncovered more than fifty such venues, most of which operated during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. These were parks, theaters, juke joints, country clubs, summer colonies, baseball diamonds, and arenas. Although these venues provided much needed recreational services to an underserved Black population, many were threatened by whites, and some destroyed by them. Through her study of these sites of recreation, Stanton illuminates the history of African Americans who strove to create and maintain safe and satisfying entertainment despite segregation. In her research, Stanton also found class divisions among Black American entertainment venues. At the pinnacle of Black society in this era were the upper class, who could afford exclusive Black summer cottages and country clubs. General entertainment for Black working-class families consisted of dancing and drinking in juke joints or patronizing small amusement parks, playgrounds, movie theaters, church-sponsored functions, and Black county fairs. African Americans in the twentieth century, especially in the South, transformed segregation into what historian Earl Lewis calls congregation. Congregation implies choice, and this congregation provided space and support for establishing new amusements, entertainments, music, and dance without interference or oppression.

Hardback. Etat : Good. This book is the fourth of 15 related monographs presents systematically a theory of crossing-cubic nonlinear systems. In this treatment, at least one vector field is crossing-cubic, and the other vector field can be constant, crossing-linear, crossing-quadratic, and crossing-cubic. For constant vector fields, the dynamical systems possess 1-dimensional flows, such as parabola and inflection flows plus third-order parabola flows. For crossing-linear and crossing-cubic systems, the dynamical systems possess saddle and center equilibriums, parabola-saddles, third-order centers and saddles (i.e, (3rd UP+: UP+)-saddle and (3rdUP-: UP-)-saddle) and third-order centers (i.e., (3rd DP+: DP-)-center, (3rd DP-, DP+)-center) . For crossing-quadratic and crossing-cubic systems, in addition to the first and third-order saddles and centers plus parabola-saddles, there are (3:2)parabola-saddle and double-inflection saddles, and for the two crossing-cubic systems, (3:3)-saddles and centers exist. Finally, the homoclinic orbits with centers can be formed, and the corresponding homoclinic networks of centers and saddles exist. Readers will learn new concepts, theory, phenomena, and analytic techniques, including - Constant and crossing-cubic systems - Crossing-linear and crossing-cubic systems - Crossing-quadratic and crossing-cubic systems - Crossing-cubic and crossing-cubic systems - Appearing and switching bifurcations - Third-order centers and saddles - Parabola-saddles and inflection-saddles - Homoclinic-orbit network with centers - Appearing bifurcations ​Develops equilibrium singularity and bifurcations in 2-dimensional self-cubic systems; Presents (1,3) and (3,3)-sink, source, and saddles; (1,2) and (3,2)-saddle-sink and saddle-source; (2,2)-double-saddles; Develops homoclinic networks of source, sink and saddles.

Hardback. Etat : Very Good. A jar of jam and a bunch of flies start off this not-quite-normal adventure. A young tailor named Abraham Spoke swats seven of the flies with one smack of his belt. He's so impressed by his own bravery that he sews the words SEVEN IN ONE STROKE on his belt. As Abe travels the world, everyone who reads those words assumes the little guy is strong and powerful. Which can be dangerous when giants and clever kings challenge Abe to prove his might This fractured retelling of a The Valiant Little Tailor, a lesser-known tale from the Brothers Grimm, will make readers giggle, groan, and gasp with delight. Especially when they read about how Abe faces his biggest problem because he mumbles in his sleep. Banks, Timothy (illustrateur).…

Paperback. Etat : Good. What can one expect to gain from reading this book? You may find something of great value in every chapter. Who are the intended recipients of this book? Everyone from student to seminarian or sales clerk to scholar can find enjoyment, encouragement and tools of empowerment enclosed within these pages. Who will not benefit from reading of this book? No one is exempt from the benefits afforded unto him or her by the reading of this spiritually reassuring, emotionally revitalizing, and devotionally rewarding book, which has been carefully constructed to be of counsel to all. I designed this book with three basic contentions in mind. First, I hope to encourage readers with examples towards excellence singled out from select scripture passages proving that ordinary people can overcome extraordinary odds through exemplary faith. Second, I hope to equip readers through a series of simple, subjective, and straightforward ideas for everyday empowerment. These ideas are intended not so much as to change individuals, but to challenge them to make better choices (thereby producing better outcomes in the future than those experienced in the past as a result of poor decision making). Third, and finally, I hope this work will serve as a tool of empowerment to some, a resource of assistance to others, and as a work that, in its witness, wealth of ideas, and unique writing perspective, will provide enjoyment to all.…
