Review      \"I read my little Jesus Calling book. It means a lot to me because sometimes I think God speaks to me through that little book. I've noticed so many times that I have had things going on and was just wondering about the answer.… God does work through people and He does work in mysterious ways.\"Dolly Parton, from the Jesus Calling podcast\"Jesus Calling--it's just a short thing to read, doesn't take any time, but to start your day off like that? It's so encouraging. Makes you feel good.\"Reba McEntire, from the Jesus Calling podcast\"Jesus Calling is a just-larger-than-palm-sized book that is packed full of reassurance that God is with us, that He loves us, that He is in control, and that He has a plan for us. We forget to consider these things sometimes, but imagine how much more comforting it would be if we started each day with a reminder. Jesus Calling does just that for us 365 days of the year.\"Delilah, syndicated radio host\"[Jesus Calling] was so personal and it was the voice of Jesus talking to me, saying things that were true. And it was so therapeutic, so life changing, and so helpful. I'm forever grateful. You know, oftentimes we think of God as some kind of inanimate object that we're talking at and not a person that wants to spend time with us and to connect with us. And that’s the beauty of Jesus Calling.… We can get a sense of a person. And I think that that's life-giving.”LeCrae, recording artist and author, from the Jesus Calling podcast\"Whenever I share my faith with somebody, if they become a Christian, the first thing I tell them is to get Jesus Calling. I don't know of anything that has been an encouragement to Christians more than Jesus Calling.\"John C. Maxwell, speaker, coach, and bestselling author, from the Jesus Calling podcast\"Jesus Calling takes people on a real journey to where prayer is not something you do--it's a conversation, it's intimate, it's highly relational.

Martin Garrett looks at Mary Shelley's unconventional early life as the daughter of the free-thinking feminist Mary Wollstonecraft, who died soon after Shelley's birth,\nand the radical philosopher William Godwin, her elopement with Percy Bysshe Shelley and his encouragement of her writing, and her life after Percy's death. With prominent literary figures such as William Wordsworth, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, William Hazlitt, and Lord Byron appearing throughout,\nMary\n\nShelley features photographs, paintings, journal entries, and manuscripts that help re-create the life of an extraordinary woman\n\n\nFrom School Library Journal\n\n\nGrade 10 Up-Mary Godwin Shelley, her husband Percy, and the various people who touched their lives receive an unbiased review in this book. By including details from the writer's diaries and those of her contemporaries in chronological order, Garrett weaves the story of Shelley's life with analyses of her work-most famously, Frankenstein. The author presents ample but dry information about his subject's formative years, her young romance with Percy, their struggles and the deaths of three of their children, their bohemian travels, and Percy's death. The authorial voice rarely intrudes on the events, except perhaps to clarify a popular belief of the time or challenge the veracity of the primary source. Garrett also provides a mature reading of her works and the excellent full-color and black-and-white illustrations are informative as well as appealing. However, the reproductions of original letters and drafts are virtually unreadable. This, along with the British vocabulary and style, makes the book most appropriate for the narrow audience of AP or dual-credit students.\n\nKaren Hoth, Marathon Middle\/High School, FL\nCopyright 2003 Reed Business Information, Inc.\n\n\nAbout the Author\n\n\nDr. Martin Garrett is a lifelong aficionado of 19th-century English literature.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"replacement-content\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFEATURES\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"replacement-content\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unbranded","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40134996525245,"sku":"60","price":20.35,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0581\/9701\/6765\/files\/mary-shelley-british-library-writers-lives-series-garrett-martin-hardcover-books-671.jpg?v=1699317556"},{"product_id":"chiles-basic-flavoring-series","title":"Chiles (Basic Flavoring Series)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThirty quick and tasty recipes are accompanied by full-color photographs and instructions on how to use chiles to enhance favorite dishes; and menu selections include Roast Quail in a Cumin and Chile Crust with Sweet Potato Chips and Red Pepper Jelly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"__sc-features-section\"\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"row\"\u003e\n        \u003cdiv class=\"col col-sm-8 section\"\u003e\n          \u003cdiv class=\"features\"\u003e\n            \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFEATURES\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n          \u003c\/div\u003e\n        \u003c\/div\u003e\n      \u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"replacement-content\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFEATURES\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"replacement-content\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unbranded","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40135016710333,"sku":"mon0000000763","price":6.63,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0581\/9701\/6765\/files\/chiles-basic-flavoring-series-hardcover-books-768.jpg?v=1699317663"},{"product_id":"oz-clarkes-pocket-wine-guide-2003-oz-clarkes-pocket-wine-book-clarke-oz-1","title":"Oz Clarke's Pocket Wine Guide 2003 (Oz Clarke's Pocket Wine Book) Clarke, Oz","description":"Product Description\n\n\n\nThe latest edition of this indispensable guide,\nOz Clarke's Pocket Wine Guide 2003 has been thoroughly updated and offers Clarke's always-anticipated lists such as \"World Class Wines that Don't Cost the Earth\" and \"The 10 Best-Kept Secrets.\"\n Perhaps the most notable achievement of any annual guide is that it changes, and\nOz Clarke's Pocket Wine Guide is especially remarkable for this. For the 2003 guide, the wines, wineries, producers, and others have been meticulously reexamined and reconsidered. In addition, of course, the guide is notable for its ease of use. Unlike other comprehensive guides, every wine, grape, winery, producer, and region is accessible by name rather than by location.\n As fresh as the last harvest, as handy as the yellow pages,\nOz Clarke's Pocket Wine Guide 2003 retains its position as simply the best comprehensive pocket guide to wine in the world.\n\n\n\n\nFrom Publishers Weekly\n\n\nClarke, a columnist for Wine Enthusiast, presents a fully updated and alphabetized catalog of vineyards, grapes and growing regions in the latest edition of his annual wine guide. Although informative-detailing everything from recent climate changes in New Zealand to the correct wines to drink with game birds-the guide does suffer from tiny print and an almost maniacal attention to detail. It relies on a star-based rating system; the one-star Kenwood Sauvignon Blanc \"highlights floral and melon flavours with a slightly earthy finish,\" while the three-star Romanie Conti Grand Cru burgundy is described as \"the pinnacle.\" It's unclear exactly who this guidebook is for: some of the information is appropriate for a reader who's never even seen a wine list before, while other descriptions seem geared toward experienced-even fanatic-oenophiles. But the breadth of this tiny guide is such that it provides a real wine education for anyone willing to squint.

Jump at the Sun is her stunning third novel in which she addresses the same complicated subjects, as well as gender, class, and motherhood.\n\nGrace Jefferson is an educated and accomplished modern woman, a child of the Civil Rights dream, and she knows it well. But after a series of rattling personal transitions, she finds herself in a new house in a new city and in a new career for which she feels dangerously unsuited: a stay-at-home mom. Caught between the only two models of mothering she has ever known -- a sharecropping grandmother who abandoned her children to save herself and a mother who sacrificed all to save her kids -- Grace struggles to embrace her new role, hoping to find a middle ground. But as the days pass and the pressures mount, Grace begins to catch herself in small acts of abandonment -- speeding up on neighborhood walks, closing doors with the children on one side and her on the other -- that she fears may foretell a future she is powerless to prevent. Or perhaps it's a future she secretly seeks. \nJump at the Sun is a novel about an isolating suburban life and the continuing legacy of slavery, about generational change and the price of living the dream for which our parents fought. Primarily it is a novel about motherhood, and not a sentimental one. As Grace struggles not to damage her children with her own fears and complications, her thoughts stray far from the greeting-card picture often expected of mothers in society today. In her bold and fearless voice McLarin explores both the highs and the lows of being a mother and how breaking the cycle of suffocation and regret is infuriatingly difficult, and absolutely necessary.\n\n\nFrom Publishers Weekly\n\n\nWith a big house in an upscale Boston suburb, a doting scientist husband and two cute daughters, Grace, heroine of this penetrating novel of family affection and disaffection, is living the middle-class black woman's dream. But as she tends to her kids' wearying demands, fends off her husband's desire for a son and watches her sociology Ph.D. go to waste, she feels like \"a claustrophobic in a mining shaft\" and fantasizes about ditching her family. It's no idle daydream—her grandmother Rae repeatedly abandoned her children to search for whatever satisfactions life had to offer a Mississippi sharecropper's daughter, while her mother, Mattie, who sacrificed her happiness for her children's, offers an object lesson in the toll that family devotion can take. McLarin (\nTaming It Down) weaves the stories of three generations of mothers and daughters in astringent prose (\"You couldn't be expected to live without them, but you'd better remember at all times, even with the good ones, that it was you against them,\" Grace muses of the wild cards that are men). Her characters chafe against the bonds of poverty, racism and feminine stereotypes, but their deeper struggle is to resolve their longing for fulfillment with ties of the heart.\n(July)\nCopyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.\n\n\nFrom Booklist\n\n\nFor better or worse, each generation influences the next, and Grace does not know which generation of women in her family she resembles most. Her grandmother Royal was born into poverty in the south, one step up from slavery, and was willing to do anything to get away--including leaving her children. Mattie, her eldest daughter, would do anything for the love that her mother never gave her. She worked hard and sacrificed everything for family, even putting her children at risk financially to help her mother when she needed money. Grace, Mattie's daughter, appears to have the perfect life--a graduate degree in sociology, a loving stable husband and two young daughters--but she isn't sure that she's cut out for motherhood.

Li spent years supplying more than seventy patients a day with oxycodone and Xanax, trading prescriptions for cash.

Palak Patel draws on his experience investing in government bond markets to demonstrate how the present fits a specific historical pattern that has defined the past 500 years. Modern-day trade liberalization and financial expansion all share distinct parallels with similar events in the 1600s and 1800s. Likewise, China's economic trajectory matches that of 19th-century Prussia and 17th-century France. And a certain British Prime Minister, foreshadowing Donald Trump's populism 150 years later, launched a similar attack on globalization after the financial crisis of 1866. In The Tyranny of Nations, there are no \"isms\"-no capitalism, socialism, or feudalism-but instead, only privileged interests vying for power. Challenging both the mainstream and its critics, Palak Patel shows how an endless cycle of cooperation and conflict between nations drives societal change. This unique perspective on the intersection of macroeconomics, history, and politics offers the reader a compass for navigating the future.      Review      \"There is a lot to be learned from the cyclical histories of the rise and fall of empires. But the vast majority of works on this very contemporary subject are hopelessly compromised by Stone Age economics and foolish theories of mass politics. Palak Patel's Tyranny of Nations is different.

A special ops soldier intuitively recognizes something's \"off\" during a high-risk mission. In these life-threatening situations experts know exactly how to use their senses and what actions to take. At the intersection of The Gift of Fear and Make Your Bed, The Power of Awareness will make sure you will, too. In his empowering book, Dan Schilling shares how to identify and avoid threats using situational awareness and intuition just like the pros. Told with wit and wisdom, this compelling guide uses harrowing stories from Dan's special operations career and those of other experts to outline six easily implemented rules you can apply anywhere to improve your personal safety. It incorporates exercises to understand how situational awareness works in real life, how to better listen to your intuition, and when confronted by a criminal how to make a plan and take action with confidence—so you can escape the threat before it's too late. He also includes tools on how to secure your home or hotel room, use public transportation, plan international travel, and reduce your criminal target appeal and exposure, in addition to how to escape an active shooter situation. As a bonus, you'll even learn how to survive a date without getting murdered. By the last page you'll know that your own Power of Awareness can save your life.      Review      “Schilling delivers the definitive guide to staying alive and safe no matter where in the world you find yourself, from the grocery store to the battlefield. Through storytelling based on real-world experiences, many his own, he reminds us that with a proper mindset, we all have the ability to shape our environment.”―Grant Mendenhall, Special Agent, FBI (retired), Former Assistant Director in charge of the FBI’s Counterterrorism Division\"Some books are very entertaining. Some are very educational. The Power of Awareness is both, with a good helping of inspiration thrown in. Readers will find that Schilling's philosophy and methodical approach have applications far beyond the extreme situations we all want to avoid. His techniques make \"awareness\" a way of dealing with life, whether extreme or not.\"―Jim DeFelice, #1 New York Times bestselling author“For special operations or clandestine officers, tactics, technique and procedures (TTPs) are a way of life and make the difference between life and serious injury. Dan Schilling, in an exceedingly entertaining and enlightening descriptive manner, provides rules and tools to make the everyday person’s life easier and safer. His stories, anecdotes, and lessons learned are as much fun to read as they are informative.”―Lt General Kurt A. Cichowski, USAF (Ret.), former CIA Associate Director and Vice Commander Air Force Special Operations Command“This book is for all who wish to be prepared for anything. Dan provides information and exercises designed to build operator-level awareness and response. Whether for refreshing prior skills or learning to better protect self and loved ones, this book will save lives!”―Randy Watt, Former Green Beret and SWAT Officer“Essential reading for anyone looking to navigate an uncertain world more safely, from dating to travel to your own home. Dan Schilling’s advice will teach readers how to stay aware, act in a crisis, and most importantly how to stay safe.”―Evy Poumpouras, former Secret Service Agent and author of Becoming Bulletproof\"In this gripping guide, Schilling (Alone at Dawn), an Air Force special operations and combat control veteran, advises on how to stay safe in the face of danger... Real-life anecdotes, such as Schilling’s actions during the Battle of Mogadishu or the story of a CIA agent being stalking by Kuwaiti spies, break up chapters and add a sense of tension.

Learn to take care of yourself, and de-stress throughout your undergrad years and beyond.Every fall, millions of young adults crash into college fired up for the best four years of their lives, ready to experience campus life, take classes about things they’re interested in, and meet people from all over the world. Most students, however, are better prepared to pick their major or talk to strangers than they are to take care of themselves in the college setting. College students today are more depressed, anxious, and stressed than previous waves of students; they’re also more sedentary, not really exercising, and living in a meal-plan limbo supplemented with ramen and coffee.In this comprehensive field guild, high school coaches Jill and Dave Henry break down the facts and deliver doable, no-BS strategies for managing physical and mental health on campus. In addition to helpful, interactive graphics, the coaches share their relatable true stories—ranging from the ridiculous to the serious—to discuss the five biggest health obstacles students face in college. On top of research-backed tips, The Greatest College Health Guide You Never Knew You Needed also features raw and personal advice from current students on college campuses across the country. While simply figuring out what to eat and how to exercise can be completely overwhelming, this guide goes beyond a basic crash course on how to be healthy. Jill and Dave cover everything from crucial time-management skills to the complex sensitivity of self-doubt, sexual assault, and depression with humor, humility, and heart. The Greatest College Health Guide You Never Knew You Needed is a complete road map for how to take care of your mind and body that will not only set students up to crush the next four years, but will also provide a foundation they can carry with them for the rest of their lives.       Review      \"Exceptionally well written, comprehensively informative, impressively well organized, and thoroughly 'user friendly' in presentation, The Greatest College Health Guide You Never Knew You Needed should be on the reading list of every graduating high school senior about to enter college. This amazingly useful compendium of tips, tricks, insights, strategies, and alerts would also prove invaluable to anyone returning to college or university after an absence.\" —Midwest Book Review “As a health educator, psychology professor, and researcher, I have read hundreds of books, research articles, and other media designed to share essential health information. However, I have yet to come across such a strong compendium of all the essential information on key topics in one place: diet, exercise, sleep hygiene, stress and time management, social media and relationships, alcohol use and abuse, as well as mental health issues like managing depression. Its second strength is being so adeptly voiced for the target audience. The information is science-based and resounds with commonsense strategies. Finally, here is a book that feels genuinely authentic about what students face—brought to life with frank anecdotes and quotes from the college experiences of the authors and students in colleges across the country.

INTRODUCTION Hi! My name is Dr. Kate Biberdorf, but most people call me Kate the Chemist. You can usually find me teaching classes in Austin, Texas, or setting off explosions on national TV. Last year, I published my first nonfiction book (The Big Book of Experiments), which contained 25 at-home experiments, including one of my favorites, Edible Snot. People loved that demo so much that my inbox exploded with requests for more experiments that can be done in the kitchen—so I set off on a flour-filled adventure to create 25 new EDIBLE science experiments.From Unicorn Sugar Cookies to Dragon Cupcakes, every protocol is packed full of chemistry. Do you know what chemistry is, besides being the best science in the entire world? It’s the study of energy and matter, and their interactions with each other. Like how the proteins in our flour react with the sugars in our dough to give us a brown pretzel, or how salt can lower the temperature of a milk mixture to give us ice cream (two things I show you how to do in this book)! Each experiment can be done with materials that your parents or guardians probably already have in their pantry (like sugar, baking soda, and food coloring). But the best part is, unlike my last book, you can actually eat every single one of these final products! Chemistry is everywhere in the kitchen, which is why I had so much fun creating all of these recipes for you. So what are you waiting for? Call your bestie, grab your apron—it’s time for kitchen chemistry!

Pandemics, like earthquakes, wildfires, financial crises. and wars, are not normally distributed; there is no cycle of history to help us anticipate the next catastrophe. But when disaster strikes, we ought to be better prepared than the Romans were when Vesuvius erupted, or medieval Italians when the Black Death struck. We have science on our side, after all. Yet in 2020 the responses of many developed countries, including the United States, to a new virus from China were badly bungled. Why? Why did only a few Asian countries learn the right lessons from SARS and MERS? While populist leaders certainly performed poorly in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic, Niall Ferguson argues that more profound pathologies were at work--pathologies already visible in our responses to earlier disasters.In books going back nearly twenty years, including Colossus, The Great Degeneration, and The Square and the Tower, Ferguson has studied the foibles of modern America, from imperial hubris to bureaucratic sclerosis and online fragmentation.Drawing from multiple disciplines, including economics, cliodynamics, and network science, Doom offers not just a history but a general theory of disasters, showing why our ever more bureaucratic and complex systems are getting worse at handling them.Doom is the lesson of history that this country--indeed the West as a whole--urgently needs to learn, if we want to handle the next crisis better, and to avoid the ultimate doom of irreversible decline.      Review      “[Doom] hopscotches breezily across continents and centuries while also displaying an impressive command of the latest research in a large number of specialized fields, among them medical history, epidemiology, probability theory, cliodynamics and network theory. . . . Belongs on the shelf next to recent ambitious and eclectic books by authors like Jared Diamond, Nassim Nicholas Taleb and Steven Pinker. . . . Promises to make a contribution to improving our management of future disasters. . . . Insightful, productively provocative and downright brilliant.” —New York Times Book Review“Doom seeks to understand why humanity, time and again through the ages, has failed to prepare for catastrophes, whether natural or manmade. . . . Forecasting, network science, economics, epidemiology, together with the psychology of leadership are all considered in a dazzlingly broad examination of the ‘politics of catastrophe’ . . . Magisterial . . . [an] immensely readable book.” —The Financial Times“Doom covers an impressive sweep of history at a lively narrative clip and weaves a lot of disparate strands together into an engaging picture.” —The Guardian“We are all trying to gain perspective on Covid, and Ferguson frames the tragedy in the broadest and most bracing way, drawing on humanity’s experience of all kinds of disaster, from the bubonic plague to the First World War. Sweeping in its narrative and multidisciplinary in its approach, Doom proves you can write an engaging book about a repellent subject.” —Sebastian Mallaby, Financial Times“Sparkling, provocative and entertaining. . . . [Doom] fizzes with ideas and nuggets of information. . . . [Ferguson] is formidably well read and culturally curious.” —Peter Frankopan, Prospect “[Ferguson] tackles big topics, topics of importance, and does so with energy and skill. . . . [Doom] is well-written, wide-ranging, conceptually interesting, shrewd, and good value. . . . The deep history is handled with care, and is gripping. . . . A crucial work that truly deserves wide attention.” —The Critic“Doom is an informative, amusing and thought-provoking read that puts the current pandemic in context, and is full of steadying good sense for these often hysterical times.” —\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"__sc-features-section\"\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"row\"\u003e\n        \u003cdiv class=\"col col-sm-8 section\"\u003e\n          \u003cdiv class=\"features\"\u003e\n            \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFEATURES\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n          \u003c\/div\u003e\n        \u003c\/div\u003e\n      \u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"replacement-content\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"replacement-content\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFEATURES\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"replacement-content\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"replacement-content\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Penguin Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40369947443389,"sku":"S87220934","price":29.29,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0581\/9701\/6765\/files\/doom-politics-catastrophe-hardcover-books-631.jpg?v=1699323646"},{"product_id":"republic-democracy-restore-sanity-america","title":"Republic, Not a Democracy: How to Restore Sanity in America","description":"\u003cp\u003eProduct Description      Let Adam Brandon, one of America’s leading activists, explain the past, the present, and the future of American conservatism, and offer advice from his unique perspective on how to bridge the generational and political divides in the United States for a better future.America faces incredibly consequential choices over the direction of the nation. Far-left Democrats who label themselves as “progressives” want to shatter constitutional norms and move America backward through command-and-control economic policies while continuing to divide us with identity politics.In A Republic, Not a Democracy, FreedomWorks President Adam Brandon draws on his experiences from when he was a kid in Ohio, his time in post-communist Poland, and his current role in Washington, DC to offer perspective on the choices that America has before it. He uses these experiences to provide a unique take on how to win voters with a pro-growth message on economic policy. Drawing on the story of 2019—when America saw its lowest unemployment rate in a half-century and a record low poverty rate—Adam explains how we can restore America in a post-COVID-19 pandemic world. He highlights key policy issues like education, health care, and the age-demographic crisis and what lawmakers can do to address these problems. As president of the country’s largest free-market grassroots advocacy organization, Adam is the nation’s foremost expert in effective grassroots strategy. He uses this expertise to explain the importance of grassroots activists and using these committed constitutionalists to change the minds of lawmakers in the Swamp. A Republic, Not a Democracy is an essential resource for anyone seeking to understand the state of modern politics, for anyone who wants to use grassroots activism to make a difference in the world, and for anyone who wonders about what the future holds for America and its citizens.      About the Author      Adam Brandon is the president of FreedomWorks, the largest free-market grassroots advocacy organization in the country, which helps over six million activists. He has been published in and quoted by, among others, Fox News, The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, The Washington Post, Forbes, and The Hill. He earned a B.A. from George Washington University and master’s degrees from Georgetown University, George Washington University, and Jagiellonian University in Krakow, Poland.

Chapter 1\"If You Want to Gather Honey, Don't Kick Over the Beehive\"On May 7, 1931, the most sensational manhunt New York City had ever known had come to its climax. After weeks of search, \"Two Gun\" Crowley -- the killer, the gunman who didn't smoke or drink -- was at bay, trapped in his sweetheart's apartment on West End Avenue.One hundred and fifty policemen and detectives laid siege to his top-floor hideaway. They chopped holes in the roof; they tried to smoke out Crowley, the \"cop killer,\" with tear gas. Then they mounted their machine guns on surrounding buildings, and for more than an hour one of New York's fine residential areas reverberated with the crack of pistol fire and therat-tat-tat of machine guns. Crowley, crouching behind an overstuffed chair, fired incessantly at the police. Ten thousand excited people watched the battle. Nothing like it had ever been seen before on the sidewalks of New York.When Crowley was captured, Police Commissioner E. P. Mulrooney declared that the two-gun desperado was one of the most dangerous criminals ever encountered in the history of New York. \"He will kill,\" said the Commissioner, \"at the drop of a feather.\"But how did \"Two Gun\" Crowley regard himself? We know, because while the police were firing into his apartment, he wrote a letter addressed \"To whom it may concern.\" And, as he wrote, the blood flowing from his wounds left a crimson trail on the paper. In his letter Crowley said: \"Under my coat is a weary heart, but a kind one -- one that would do nobody any harm.\"A short time before this, Crowley had been having a necking party with his girl friend on a country road out on Long Island. Suddenly a policeman walked up to the car and said: \"Let me see your license.\"Without saying a word, Crowley drew his gun and cut the policeman down with a shower of lead. As the dying officer fell, Crowley leaped out of the car, grabbed the officer's revolver, and fired another bullet into the prostrate body. And that was the killer who said: \"Under my coat is a weary heart, but a kind one -- one that would do nobody any harm.\"Crowley was sentenced to the electric chair. When he arrived at the death house in Sing Sing, did he say, \"This is what I get for killing people\"? No, he said: \"This is what I get for defending myself.\"The point of the story is this: \"Two Gun\" Crowley didn't blame himself for anything.Is that an unusual attitude among criminals? If you think so, listen to this:\"I have spent the best years of my life giving people the lighter pleasures, helping them have a good time, and all I get is abuse, the existence of a hunted man.\"That's Al Capone speaking. Yes, America's most notorious Public Enemy -- the most sinister gang leader who ever shot up Chicago. Capone didn't condemn himself. He actually regarded himself as a public benefactor\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"__sc-features-section\"\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"row\"\u003e\n        \u003cdiv class=\"col col-sm-8 section\"\u003e\n          \u003cdiv class=\"features\"\u003e\n            \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFEATURES\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\r\n              \u003cli\u003ePsychology, How To Win Friends and Influence People..Psychology..Dale Carnegie.Copyright 1936.Copyright renewed 1964 by Donna Dale.Revised edition copyright 1981 by Donna Carnegie and Dorothy Cornegie..

You have 10 things to do, but only 30 minutes till the bus leaves. Is there enough time? You have 3 shirts and 2 pairs of pants -- can you make 1 good outfit? Don't worry -- it's just the Math Curse striking! An amusing book about dealing with numbers in everyday life.\n\n\nFrom Publishers Weekly\n\n\nWhew! This latest whimsical work from Scieszka and Smith (The True Story of the Three Little Pigs; The Stinky Cheese Man) is bound to stretch out the old thinking cap. The day after her teacher announces, \"You know, you can think of almost everything as a math problem,\" the narrator is afflicted with a \"math curse\" that affects how she views every facet of her day (\"Everything seems to be a problem\"). A minimum of the questions she asks herself are entirely logical (\"How many quarts are in a gallon?\"); some are far-fetched extrapolations (if an M\u0026amp;M is about one centimeter long and the Mississippi River is about 4000 kilometers long, how many M\u0026amp;Ms would it take to measure the length of this river?); and a happily hefty number are sheer nonsense: \"I undo 8 buttons plus 2 shoelaces. I subtract 2 shoes. I multiply times 2 socks and divide by 3 pillows to get 5 sheep, remainder 1, which is all I need to count before I fall asleep.\" Like the text, Smith's wonderfully wacky collage-like art will give readers ample food for thought-even if it's part junk food. Here's a morsel: \"Does tunafish + tunafish = fournafish?\" Kids will want seconds-count on it. Ages 7-up.\nCopyright 1995 Reed Business Information, Inc.\n\n\nFrom School Library Journal\n\n\nGrade 3-5?From the inventive minds of Scieszka and Smith comes an unusual take on the subject of mathematics. More for the \"Time Warp Trio\" audience than for Stinky Cheese Man (1992, both Viking) devotees, Math Curse opens with the ominously simple statement, \"You know, you can think of almost everything as a math problem.\" From that point on, the young narrator is overwhelmed with daily math. Getting dressed, eating breakfast, getting to school?everything involves addition, subtraction, measurement, probability, etc. Questions are boxed and numbered within the narrative, just as they might appear in a textbook. The questions, however, are not always typical workbook queries. For example, \"I take the milk out for my cereal and wonder: 1.How many quarts in a gallon? 2.How many pints in a quart? 3.How many inches in a foot? 4.How many feet in a yard? 5.How many yards in a neighborhood? How many inches in a pint? How many feet in my shoes?\" Some of the humor may have to be explained to readers. Kids will be able to figure out most of the problems on their own, depending on their grasp of fractions. Smith's illustrations are wild and rollicking. Combining drawings with collage, he creates a multi-textured school scene that reflects the narrator's confusion. Numbers are everywhere, but so are whimsical touches such as the individual expressions on the 24 cherries that adorn the class's cupcakes. This title can certainly be used as lighthearted relief in math class, but the story will be heartily enjoyed simply for its zany humor and nonstop sense of fun.?Lucinda Snyder Whitehurst, St. Christopher's School, Richmond, VA\nCopyright 1995 Reed Business Information, Inc.\n\n\nFrom Booklist\n\n\nAges 6^-9.

Corduroy has been on the department store shelf for a long time. Yet as soon as Lisa sees him, she knows that he’s the bear for her. Her mother, though, thinks he’s a little shopworn—he’s even missing a button! Still, Corduroy knows that with a bit of work he can tidy himself up and be just the bear for Lisa. And where better to start than with a nighttime adventure through the department store, searching for a new button!   Celebrate 50 years of this irresistible childhood classic, a heartwarming story about a little bear and a little girl finding the friend they have always wanted in each other. Review Have you ever dreamed of being locked in a department store at night? The endearing story of Corduroy paints a picture of the adventures that might unfold (for a teddy bear at least) in such a situation. When all the shoppers have gone home for the night, Corduroy climbs down from the shelf to look for his missing button. It's a brave new world! He accidentally gets on an elevator that he thinks must be a mountain and sees the furniture section that he thinks must be a palace. He tries to pull a button off the mattress, but he ends up falling off the bed and knocking over a lamp. The night watchman hears the crash, finds Corduroy, and puts him back on the shelf downstairs. The next morning, he finds that it's his lucky day! A little girl buys him with money she saved in her piggy bank and takes him home to her room. Corduroy decides that this must be home and that Lisa must be his friend. Youngsters will never get tired of this toy-comes-alive tale with a happy ending, so you may also want to seek out Dan Freeman's next creation, A Pocket for Corduroy. (Ages 3 to 8) Review Corduroy has donated more than three million dollars to a charity helping children with severe illnesses, disabilities, or traumas.   Corduroy hosted Jumpstart’s Read for the Record campaign, which raised more than $1.5 million for early education programs. Two million children and adults read the book on the same day.   Corduroy was one of the first books inducted into the Indies Choice Book Awards Picture Book Hall of Fame.   The New York Public Library named Corduroy one of the 100 Great Children's Books from the Last 100 Years.   The National Education Association named Corduroy one of theTeachers’ Top 100 Books for Children.   School Library Journal named Corduroy one of the Top 100 Picture Books for the 21st Century.   Corduroy’s creator, Don Freeman, received the Kerlan Award in recognition of his singular attainments in the creation of children's literature.   Close to 20 million copies of the Corduroy books have sold in the United States and around the world. About the Author Don Freeman was born in San Diego, California, in 1908. At an early age, he received a trumpet as a gift from his father. He practiced obsessively and eventually joined a California dance band. After graduating from high school, he ventured to New York City to study art under the tutelage of Joan Sloan and Harry Wickey at the Art Students' League. He managed to support himself throughout his schooling by playing his trumpet evenings, in nightclubs and at weddings.Gradually, he eased into making a living sketching impressions of Broadway shows for The New York Times and The Herald Tribune. This shift was helped along, in no small part, by a rather heartbreaking incident: he lost his trumpet.

Amazon.com Review      As his fifth year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry approaches, 15-year-old Harry Potter is in full-blown adolescence, complete with regular outbursts of rage, a nearly debilitating crush, and the blooming of a powerful sense of rebellion. It's been yet another infuriating and boring summer with the despicable Dursleys, this time with minimal contact from our hero's non-Muggle friends from school. Harry is feeling especially edgy at the lack of news from the magic world, wondering when the freshly revived evil Lord Voldemort will strike. Returning to Hogwarts will be a relief... or will it? The fifth book in J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter series follows the darkest year yet for our young wizard, who finds himself knocked down a peg or three after the events of last year. Somehow, over the summer, gossip (usually traced back to the magic world's newspaper, the Daily Prophet) has turned Harry's tragic and heroic encounter with Voldemort at the Triwizard Tournament into an excuse to ridicule and discount the teen. Even Professor Dumbledore, headmaster of the school, has come under scrutiny by the Ministry of Magic, which refuses to officially acknowledge the terrifying truth that Voldemort is back. Enter a particularly loathsome new character: the toadlike and simpering (\"hem, hem\") Dolores Umbridge, senior undersecretary to the Minister of Magic, who takes over the vacant position of Defense Against Dark Arts teacher--and in no time manages to become the High Inquisitor of Hogwarts, as well. Life isn't getting any easier for Harry Potter. With an overwhelming course load as the fifth years prepare for their Ordinary Wizarding Levels examinations (O.W.Ls), devastating changes in the Gryffindor Quidditch team lineup, vivid dreams about long hallways and closed doors, and increasing pain in his lightning-shaped scar, Harry's resilience is sorely tested.Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, more than any of the four previous novels in the series, is a coming-of-age story. Harry faces the thorny transition into adulthood, when adult heroes are revealed to be fallible, and matters that seemed black-and-white suddenly come out in shades of gray. Gone is the wide-eyed innocent, the whiz kid of Sorcerer's Stone. Here we have an adolescent who's sometimes sullen, often confused (especially about girls), and always self-questioning. Confronting death again, as well as a startling prophecy, Harry ends his year at Hogwarts exhausted and pensive. Readers, on the other hand, will be energized as they enter yet again the long waiting period for the next title in the marvelous, magical series. (Ages 9 and older) --Emilie Coulter      From School Library Journal      Grade 4 Up-Harry has just returned to Hogwarts after a lonely summer. Dumbledore is uncommunicative and most of the students seem to think Harry is either conceited or crazy for insisting that Voldemort is back and as evil as ever. Angry, scared, and unable to confide in his godfather, Sirius, the teen wizard lashes out at his friends and enemies alike. The head of the Ministry of Magic is determined to discredit Dumbledore and undermine his leadership of Hogwarts, and he appoints nasty, pink-cardigan-clad Professor Umbridge as the new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher and High Inquisitor of the school, bringing misery upon staff and students alike. This bureaucratic nightmare, added to Harry's certain knowledge that Voldemort is becoming more powerful, creates a desperate, Kafkaesque feeling during Harry's fifth year at Hogwarts. The adults all seem evil, misguided, or simply powerless, so the students must take matters into their own hands. Harry's confusion about his godfather and father, and his apparent reje\n\u003cdiv class=\"__sc-features-section\"\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"row\"\u003e\n        \u003cdiv class=\"col col-sm-8 section\"\u003e\n          \u003cdiv class=\"features\"\u003e\n            \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFEATURES\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n            \u003cli\u003emystery, adventure, fiction, imagination, mystical,\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLoyalty, Romance, series 5, book 5, Harry Potter, Hogwarts\u003c\/li\u003e\n        \u003c\/ul\u003e\n          \u003c\/div\u003e\n        \u003c\/div\u003e\n      \u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"replacement-content\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"replacement-content\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFEATURES\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n            \u003cli\u003emystery, adventure, fiction, imagination, mystical,\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLoyalty, Romance, series 5, book 5, Harry Potter, Hogwarts\u003c\/li\u003e\n        \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"replacement-content\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"replacement-content\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Arthur A.

All rights reserved.      ICELANDIC KNITTING TECHNIQUESIn Iceland, we use the continental knitting method. We have a long tradition of knitting mittens in the round, mainly using 5 double-pointed needles. We hold both needles the same way in both hands and use them almost equally. The yarn lies from the stitch just knitted on the right needle over the index finger on the left hand. In stranded knitting, the second strand of yarn lies over the middle finger. We like to think that this results in fast knitting, which is good when you knit a lot. If you are used to a different knitting method, however, do not let the descriptions of the continental knitting method confuse you. All knitting methods give the same result. Just knit as you are used to and the outcome will be practically the same or very similar.\u003cdiv class=\"__sc-features-section\"\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"row\"\u003e\n        \u003cdiv class=\"col col-sm-8 section\"\u003e\n          \u003cdiv class=\"features\"\u003e\n            \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFEATURES\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n          \u003c\/div\u003e\n        \u003c\/div\u003e\n      \u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unbranded","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42520405213407,"sku":"S2604058","price":23.7,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0581\/9701\/6765\/files\/icelandic-mittens-25-traditional-patterns-reimagined-media-books-550.jpg?v=1699328640"},{"product_id":"pioneer-woman-cookscome-simple-scrumptious-recipes-crazy-busy-lives","title":"The Pioneer Woman Cooks―Come and Get It!: Simple, Scrumptious Recipes for Crazy Busy Lives","description":"\u003cp\u003eProduct Description      #1 New York Times BestsellerCrazy delicious recipes for your crazy busy life from the #1 New York Times bestselling author and Food Network favorite, Ree Drummond the Pioneer Woman.For home cooks, nothing beats preparing a long, leisurely dinner for your family, stirring slowly, seasoning gradually, and savoring every flavorful step.Screeeeeech!
