Paperback. Etat : Very Good. Operation Condor was a cruel campaign of political repression and state terror involving military operations, dictatorships, and assassination throughout South America. In the country of Uruguay, it imposed an authoritarian government dedicated to the capture, jailing, torture, and killing of all opposition. Thousands of workers, students, dissidents, and politicians were prosecuted and eliminated. The bloodshed was horrendous. Others were kidnapped, tortured, and killed in allied countries, or illegally transferred to their home countries to be executed following Condor operations. Then in Uruguay, a young medical student, Daniel Blum, distraught by the kidnapping and murder of his beloved girlfriend, and seeking revenge, conceives a risky plan to find the assassins. Oblivious to the danger, he enters the morgue claiming an interest in forensic medicine where, between corpses and autopsies, he succeeds in befriending some of the detectives, winning their trust, which allows him to enter the main police center. He succeeds in obtaining training in the use of firearms, but he finds himself powerless and unable to advance. He then manages to help a friend to escape capture by the dictatorship and this draws him into a secret underground organization. Using newfound resources and alliances he works to solve the murder of his girlfriend and the kidnappings and murders of other young students. Then he meets a young woman who becomes his companion and lover. With her at his side, he attempts to solve these mysterious murders while avoiding being crushed between the powerful opposing forces of the dictatorship and the opposition. …

Paperback. Etat : Fair. The Pulitzer Prize-winning tragedy of a salesman?s deferred American dream Ever since it was first performed in 1949, Death of a Salesman has been recognized as a milestone of the American theater. In the person of Willy Loman, the aging, failing salesman who makes his living riding on a smile and a shoeshine, Arthur Miller redefined the tragic hero as a man whose dreams are at once insupportably vast and dangerously insubstantial. He has given us a figure whose name has become a symbol for a kind of majestic grandiosity?and a play that compresses epic extremes of humor and anguish, promise and loss, between the four walls of an American living room."By common consent, this is one of the finest dramas in the whole range of the American theater." ?Brooks Atkinson, The New York Times"So simple, central, and terrible that the run of playwrights would neither care nor dare to attempt it." ?Time.…

Paperback. Etat : Fair. Life After Near Death is the only book to explore the deeper meaning of the near-death experience (NDE) through the prism of its miraculous aftereffects. You don't need to be declared clinically dead to experience an NDE. Nor must you experience many of Raymond Moody's nine elements, including a life review, an out-of-body experience, encounters with deceased loved ones, and a decision to return to one's body. The key is whether you return from the experience permanently transformed. Life After Near Death profiles a dozen cases of specific cognitive and physiological near-death aftereffects, including newfound musical and artistic talents, mathematical gifts, enhanced hearing, elevated IQ, improved eyesight, spontaneous healing, and electrical sensitivity. It explores new evidence to shed light on this phenomenon and reveals for the first time: The link between predisposition and the NDE. The role of manifestation and intent in the creation of the NDE. The unmistakable connections among the energetic world, frequency, and the NDE. The circumstances and conditions that give rise to a NDE. Life After Near Death offers a new, science-based paradigm to unravel the NDE and our assumptions regarding the afterlife. Although you can return from an NDE, you will never return to your former life.…

Paperback. Etat : Very Good. When preschool teacher Leslie McCollom created the Preschool Gems Twitter feed, it was because precious jewels were slipping through her fingers every day. Jewels like, 'My mom lived in the nineties,' 'I'm feeling poisonous, baby kitty,' and 'OK, but I'm still a dragon.' Although she swore she'd remember these gems forever, in five minutes they would vanish, never to be heard again. So she became a covert anthropologist in the underground world of children, and has been gracing the Twitterverse with her findings ever since-such as: 'There's a wolf in my tummy and a porcupine in my bum.' 'I don't care about time-outs. I only care about my life.' 'I love David Bowie. I'm going to marry David Bowie.' Preschool Gems is a collection of the most bizarre, hilarious, jaw-dropping things overheard at Leslie's school. By turns sweet, sinister, and naively sincere, these treasures prove that kids are really just miniature people who are weirder and a lot less inhibited than their adult counterparts. 'Sometimes, the greatest jokes come from tellers who have no idea what they're saying is funny. Children . . . have very little filter and crazy imaginations-in a good way. Preschool Gems is an outlet for the awesome conversational tidbits a teacher hears on a regular basis.' The A.V. Club. …

Paperback. Etat : Good. Suffused with Hindu mythology, this story of one apartment building becomes a metaphor for the social and religious divisions of contemporary India, and Vishnu's ascent of the staircase parallels the soul's progress through the various stages of existence. As Vishnu closes in on the riddle of his own mortality, we wonder whether he might not be the god Vishnu, guardian not only of the fate of the building and its occupants, but of the entire universe.…

Paperback. Etat : Good. Set in the immigrant community of Winnipeg's North End, Under the Ribs of Death follows the progress of young Sandor Hunyadi as he struggles to cast off his Hungarian background and become a real Canadian. Embittered by poverty and social humiliation, Sandor rejects his father's impractical idealism and devotes himself single-mindedly to becoming a successful businessman. Equipped with a new name and a hardened heart, he is close to realizing his ambition when fortune's wheel takes an unexpected - and possibly redemptive - turn. Combining social realism and moral parable, Under the Ribs of Death is John Marlyn's ironic portrayal of the immigrant experience in the years leading up to the Great Depression. As a commentary on the problems of cultural assimilation, this novel is as relevant today as it was when first published in 1957.…

Hardback. Etat : Very Good. "The narrative unfolds like a high-stakes crime novel."--Kirkus Reviews In 1898, a group of schoolboys in Bridgeport, Connecticut discovered gruesome packages under a bridge holding the dismembered remains of a young woman. Finding that the dead woman had just undergone an abortion, prosecutors raced to establish her identity and fix blame for her death. Suspicion fell on Nancy Guilford, half of a married pair of "doctors" well known to police throughout New England. A fascinated public followed the suspect's flight from justice, as many rooted for the fugitive. The Disquieting Death of Emma Gilltakes a close look not only at the Guilfords, but also at the cultural shifts and social compacts that allowed their practice to flourish while abortion was both illegal and unregulated. Focusing on the women at the heart of the story--both victim and perpetrator--Biederman reexamines this slice of history through a feminist lens and reminds us of the very real lives at stake when a woman's body and choices are controlled by others.…
