Hardback. Etat : Good. Dog* tol* o* gy noun 1. The belief in Dog. 2. The system of rituals, practices, and behaviors engaged in by Dogtologists. Chew on this. As humans, we have a deep need to believe .a need to relate to something greater and more ideal than ourselves. Perhaps that's why so many millions believe in Dog. Man's devotion to Dog has come to rival the great -isms and -ologies of the world. This has gone way beyond a hobby. We may not literally worship Dogs, but we come pawfully close. This rabid reverence for Rover has a name: It's called Dogtology . Dogtology is for the dog lover who has bailed on a date because they didn't want Twinkles to be left home alone, for the human whose dog owns a more festive holiday wardrobe than they do, those whose pups dine on free-range bison burgers while they live off ramen, or whose smartphones have more photos of their dog than of the humans in their family. Live. Bark. Believe. Dogtology is a humorous exploration of man's fanatical devotion to Dog. In this book, Lazarus makes the case that Dogtology has become a bone-a-fide belief system on par with the world's great philosophies and religions.…

Paperback. Etat : Very Good. Not much was expected from the Orange basketball team this particular year.A random looking assortment of miscellaneous kids;they were not big, they were not fast, they were not strong.There was nothing about the sight of them in their uniforms to say that this would be an especially noteworthy team.And, to complicate things further, they had been bumped up a class, to play every night against much larger schools, with more, bigger, and better athletes.The experts had picked them to finish dead last in their district.They were not expected to win a single game.Accordingly, they had been slated to play in everyone's homecoming game.The first time they walked on the floor to warm up, the other team laughed.But, there is a reason we actually play the games.We can measure the players physically, but there is, as yet, no way to measure heart and desire.There is no way to quantify the will to win.Every night, the scoreboard starts at 0-0;and the day will be what you make it.Every season is special.Every team is special.But, this team and this season.was magical.And when they walked off the floor at the end of their last game.No one was laughing.…

Paperback. Etat : Good. The lure of the morbid. The fascination of really bad news. The strange thrill of things going spectacularly wrong. Tragic, sensational, spine-chilling, and addictively entertaining, it's The Darwin Awards meets The Stupidest Things Ever Said. In story after story we meet the star-crossed, the extremely unlucky, and the fatally foolish. Sure--it's grim, sometimes ghastly. But isn't it nice to know that someone, somewhere, had a worse day than you? Sh*t happens. Sometimes it's natural: A driver goes for the ride of his life when a 100-mph gust blows his truck off the Verrazano Narrows Bridge in New York. (He survives the steep plunge into the Hudson River. Sometimes it's supernatural: The woman who peels an artichoke only to have it explode in her hand. Short-sighted: A rattlesnake owner kisses his beloved pet, and discovers that the affection isn't mutual. Delightful: A tanker truck carrying liquid chocolate splits open in a traffic accident, drawing children from miles around. Unexpected: A folding bed traps and nearly kills a man. Heartbreaking: Art restorers accidentally dissolve the ink off a newly discovered Da Vinci drawing. Gross: From the brain of a man complaining of mental instability, doctors remove a four-inch worm. And grosser: A diner discovers--in the most revolting way possible--a rodent along with his fried chicken. And even, seemingly, cosmic justice: An incensed homeowner catches a mouse and decides to teach it a lesson by tying a kerosene-soaked rag to its tail and setting it on fire. The mouse flees; the man's house burns down.…

Paperback. Etat : Very Good. Finalist, Bill Duthie Booksellers' Choice Award (BC Book Prizes) In her BC bestseller Cold Case Vancouver, crime historian and reporter Eve Lazarus used investigative skills to shine a light on the city's most baffing unsolved murders. In Cold Case BC, Lazarus casts her gaze more widely on long forgotten and unsolved murder cases throughout British Columbia. These include teenager Molly Justice, who was murdered on the outskirts of Victoria after taking the bus home from work, and a follow-up to the tragic 1953 Babes in the Woods story of two children found murdered in Stanley Park, whose names were finally revealed this year in a story broken by Lazarus herself. There's also the tale of four police officers in the 1960s who committed a string of robberies that culminated in the biggest heist in Vancouver's history. Their reign of terror ended with one of the officers murdering his family before killing himself. Or were they all killed by someone else? Lazarus also looks at some of the province's most intriguing missing person cases, such as three-year-old Casey Bohun, who vanished from her bed in the middle of the night, and the Jack family of four, who left Prince George to work in a logging camp along the infamous Highway of Tears but were never seen again. Interviews with law enforcement, forensic experts, and family and friends of the victims add new life to these historical cases, some of which date back to World War II. The book also includes some cases that have been solved, revealing the painstaking investigative work and new forensic technology that ultimately brought about closure for victims' families. Meticulously researched, Cold Case BC is a fascinating true crime book that reveals startling details about the province's criminal past.…

Hardback. Etat : Very Good. CASEY Award Finalist for Best Baseball Book of the Year The untold story of the unique fifty-year friendship between two American icons: John Glenn, the unassailable pioneer of space exploration and Ted Williams, indisputably the greatest hitter in baseball history. It was 1953, the Korean War in full throttle, when two men--already experts in their fields--crossed the fabled 38th Parallel into Communist airspace aboard matching Panther jets. John Glenn was an ambitious operations officer with fifty-nine World War II combat missions under his belt. His wingman was Ted Williams, the two-time American League Triple Crown winner who, at the pinnacle of his career, had been inexplicably recalled to active service in the United States Marine Corps. Together, the affable flier and the notoriously tempestuous left fielder soared into North Korea, creating a death-defying bond. Although, over the next half century, their contrasting lives were challenged by exhilarating highs and devastating lows, that bond would endure. Through unpublished letters, unit diaries, declassified military records, manuscripts, and new and illuminating interviews, The Wingmen reveals an epic and intimate portrait of two heroes--larger-than-life and yet ineffably human, ordinary men who accomplished the extraordinary. At its heart, this was a conflicted friendship that found commonality in mutual respect--throughout the perils of war, sports dominance, scientific innovation, cutthroat national politics, the burden of celebrity, and the meaning of bravery. Now, author Adam Lazarus sheds light on a largely forgotten chapter in these legends' lives--as singular individuals, inspiring patriots, and eventually, however improbable, profoundly close friends.…
