Brilliant, haunting, breathtakingly suspenseful, Night Film is a superb literary thriller by the New York Times bestselling author of the ""blockbuster debut"" (People) Special Topics in Calamity Physics.

On a damp October night, beautiful young Ashley Cordova is found dead in an abandoned warehouse in lower Manhattan. Though her death is ruled a suicide, veteran investigative journalist Scott McGrath suspects otherwise. As he probes the strange circumstances surrounding Ashley's life and death, McGrath comes face-to-face with the legacy of her father: the legendary, reclusive, cult-horror-film director Stanislas Cordova--a man who hasn't been seen in public for more than thirty years.

For McGrath, another death connected to this seemingly cursed family dynasty seems more than just a coincidence. Though much has been written about Cordova's dark and unsettling films, very little is known about the man himself.

In this richly detailed novel about the quest for an unknown father, Julia Glass brings new characters together with familiar figures from her first two novels, immersing readers in a panorama that stretches from suburban New Jersey to rural Vermont and ultimately to the tip of Cape Cod.

Kit Noonan is an unemployed art historian with twins to help support and a mortgage to pay—and a wife frustrated by his inertia. Raised by a strong-willed, secretive single mother, Kit has never known the identity of his father—a mystery that his wife insists he must solve to move forward with his life. Out of desperation, Kit goes to the mountain retreat of his mother’s former husband, Jasper, a take-no-prisoners outdoorsman. There, in the midst of a fierce blizzard, Kit and Jasper confront memories of the bittersweet decade when their families were joined. Reluctantly breaking a long-ago promise, Jasper connects Kit with Lucinda and Zeke Burns, who know the answer he’s looking for. Readers of Glass’s first novel, Three Junes, will recognize Lucinda as the mother of Malachy, the music critic who died of AIDS. In fact, to fully understand the secrets surrounding his paternity, Kit will travel farther still, meeting Fenno McLeod, now in his late fifties, and Fenno’s longtime companion, the gregarious Walter Kinderman.

And the Dark Sacred Night is an exquisitely memorable tale about the youthful choices that steer our destinies, the necessity of forgiveness, and the risks we take when we face down the shadows from our past.

From Booklist

Starred Review Stuck in a nightmare of unpaid bills, dwindling bank accounts, and leaky roofs, unemployed art-history professor Kit Noonan needs a jolt. Convinced that deep-seated identity issues are fueling Kit’s inertia-inducing depression, his wife urges him to find the identity of his biological father, a fact his otherwise loving mother refuses to divulge. To solve the mystery, Kit embarks on a journey that takes him across the northeastern U.S., starting with a visit to his gruff and outdoorsy stepfather’s home, and ending with a revelation that transforms his life in ways he could never imagine. Woven throughout the narrative are flashbacks to key events in Kit’s history, including the tender and beautifully told story of the relationship between Kit’s mother and father. Divided into sections written from the perspective of key characters, Glass explores the pain of family secrets, the importance of identity, and the ultimate meaning of family. HIGH-DEMAND BACKSTORY: Although Glass borrows characters from her National Book Award–winning Three Junes, it is not necessary to have read that previous book to enjoy this lovely, highly readable, and thought-provoking novel. --Kerri Price

The Widower’s Tale
“Beautifully sensitive . . . The Widower’s Tale is about the rub between old values and new times . . . In the tradition of Jane Eyre, it builds to a conflagration, a crisis that shakes everyone out of their complacency. But Glass quickly smothers the flames of catastrophe, for her vision is essentially more hopeful than tragic.” —Los Angeles Times

“A satisfyingly clear-eyed and compassionate view of American entitlement and its fallout . . . [Glass] approaches the ties of kinship with the same joyfully disruptive spirit that animated her previous books.” —The New York Times Book Review

“A masterful exploration of the secret places of the human heart.” —Richmond Times-Dispatch

I See You Everywhere
“Glass is the Edith Wharton for the twenty-first century.” —Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

“Rich, intricate, and alive with emotion . . . An honest portrait of sister-love . . . Brave and forgiving.” —The New York Times Book Review

Three Junes
“Enormously accomplished . . . Rich, absorbing, and full of life.”—The New Yorker

“Radiant . . . An intimate literary triptych of lives pulled together and torn apart.” —Chicago Tribune

By the time he was twenty, the young Mormon had reached his towering adult height of 6'7"" when—while serving on a mission for the Church of Latter Day Saints—his Tourette's tics escalated to nightmarish levels.

Determined to conquer his affliction, Josh underwent everything from quack remedies to lethargy-inducing drug regimes to Botox injections that paralyzed his vocal cords and left him voiceless for three years.

This book provides a language of this kind. It will enable a person to make a design for almost any kind of building, or any part of the built environment. ""Patterns,"" the units of this language, are answers to design problems (How high should a window sill be? How many stories should a building have? How much space in a neighborhood should be devoted to grass and trees?). More than 250 of the patterns in this pattern language are given: each consists of a problem statement, a discussion of the problem with an illustration, and a solution. As the authors say in their introduction, many of the patterns are archetypal, so deeply rooted in the nature of things that it seemly likely that they will be a part of human nature, and human action, as much in five hundred years as they are today. ** -","2015-10-05T12:13:24-06:00","pdf","9780195019193","isbn:9780195019193,google:hwAHmktpk5IC,amazon:0195019199","eng","1977-03-15T00:00:00-07:00","","1.0","63661552","Architecture, Criticism, Design; Drafting; Drawing & Presentation, Urban & Land Use Planning","Pattern Language: Towns, Buildings, Construction, A","269","240d9476-02ff-439d-9f92-9cc3c0539d8a" +","2015-10-05T12:13:24-06:00","pdf","9780195019193","isbn:9780195019193,amazon:0195019199,google:hwAHmktpk5IC","eng","1977-03-15T00:00:00-07:00","","1.0","63661552","Architecture, Criticism, Design; Drafting; Drawing & Presentation, Urban & Land Use Planning","Pattern Language: Towns, Buildings, Construction, A","269","240d9476-02ff-439d-9f92-9cc3c0539d8a" "Holmes, Simon D.","MEAP Version 2","2015-10-05T21:17:43-06:00","pdf","","","","2014-01-09T04:31:51-07:00","","1.0","2354054","","Getting MEAN with Mongo, Express, Angular, and Node MEAP V02","270","6fb00e0a-0942-4bac-8eef-60f65572fa8a" "Singh, Simon","

Ingram began entering into classical meditation territory as a teenager quite by accident and without knowing it crossed into territory that he would later call various names, including The Dark Night and the Knowledges of Suffering. He had no idea what had happened, but somehow knew that he had to find something. After being inspired by a good friend who got to the first stage of enlightenment after a retreat in centers in the Buddhist tradition, he began going on intensive insight meditation retreats in the US, India and Malaysia. By simply following the instructions he achieved the expected results, and has since become part of the global movement of meditation reform, a movement that seeks to preserve core meditation technology and supports, integrate helpful aspects from across traditions, refine the techniques and maps through exploration and verification, and spread the message that it can be done. It is also a movement to strip away the aspects of dogma, ritual,rigid hierarchy, myth and falsehood that hinder high-level practice and keep the culture of meditation mired in unhelpful taboos and misplaced effort. Dr. Ingram also has an MD, a Master's degree in Public Health, and a bachelor's degree in English literature. He practices in the U.S. as a board-certified emergency medicine physician. He hopes that those on the path will practice well, aim high and become accomplished practitioners who will help to train others to do the same. -","2015-11-01T21:52:40-07:00","epub, mobi","9781904658405","isbn:9781904658405,google:CZpXBqwDTGYC,amazon:1904658407","eng","2008-12-14T17:00:00-07:00","","1.0","645097","buddhism","Mastering the Core Teachings of the Buddha: An Unusually Hardcore Dharma Book","293","3a729bd1-30e0-443d-9107-1308d22a542d" +","2015-11-01T21:52:40-07:00","epub, mobi","9781904658405","isbn:9781904658405,amazon:1904658407,google:CZpXBqwDTGYC","eng","2008-12-14T17:00:00-07:00","","1.0","645097","buddhism","Mastering the Core Teachings of the Buddha: An Unusually Hardcore Dharma Book","293","3a729bd1-30e0-443d-9107-1308d22a542d" "Short, Martin","

Back at Hogwarts, Harry must deal with a Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher with a personality like poisoned honey; a surprising new member of the Gryffindor Quidditch team; the possibility of his first real romance; and the looming nightmare of the Ordinary Wizarding Level exams.

In Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Harry is midway through both his training as a wizard and his coming of age. He wants to get away from the malicious Dursleys and go to the Quidditch World Cup with Hermione, Ron, and the Weasleys. He wants to dream about his crush, Cho Chang (and maybe do more than dream). And now that he's gotten the hang of things at Hogwarts—he hopes—he just wants to be a normal fourteen-year-old wizard. But even by his standards, Harry's year is anything but normal. First Dumbledore announces the revival of a grand competition that hasn't taken place for one hundred years: the Triwizard Tournament, where a Hogwarts champion will compete against rivals from two other schools of magic in three highly dangerous tasks. Then someone frames Harry to participate in the tournament—which really means someone wants him dead.

In Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, Harry, an orphan, lives with the Dursleys, his horrible aunt and uncle, and their abominable son, Dudley. One day just before his eleventh birthday, an owl tries to deliver a mysterious letter—the first of a sequence of events that end in Harry meeting a giant man named Hagrid. Hagrid explains Harry's history to him: When he was a baby, the Dark wizard, Lord Voldemort, attacked and killed his parents in an attempt to kill Harry; but the only mark on Harry was a mysterious lightning-bolt scar on his forehead. Now he has been invited to attend Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, where the headmaster is the great wizard Albus Dumbledore.

The Challenge
Built to Last, the defining management study of the nineties, showed how great companies triumph over time and how long-term sustained performance can be engineered into the DNA of an enterprise from the verybeginning.

But what about the company that is not born with great DNA? How can good companies, mediocre companies, even bad companies achieve enduring greatness?

The Study
For years, this question preyed on the mind of Jim Collins. Are there companies that defy gravity and convert long-term mediocrity or worse into long-term superiority? And if so, what are the universal distinguishing characteristics that cause a company to go from good to great?

The Standards
Using tough benchmarks, Collins and his research team identified a set of elite companies that made the leap to great results and sustained those results for at least fifteen years.

The emphasis is on the right view and understanding of existence, the Way of the cosmos, and the text sets out to transmit an informed awareness of being that leads to personal harmony. The Taoist inclination to refer to the natural background to human existence when considering the human is widely in evidence.

Gaiman fashions these primeval stories into a novelistic arc that begins with the genesis of the legendary nine worlds and delves into the exploits of deities, dwarfs, and giants. Once, when Thor’s hammer is stolen, Thor must disguise himself as a woman, difficult with his beard and huge appetite, to steal it back. More poignant is the tale in which the blood of Kvasir, the most sagacious of gods, is turned into a mead that infuses drinkers with poetry. The work culminates in Ragnarok, the twilight of the gods and rebirth of a new time and people. Through Gaiman’s deft and witty prose emerge these gods with their fiercely competitive natures, their susceptibility to being duped and to duping others, and their tendency to let passion ignite their actions, making these long-ago myths breathe pungent life again. -","2017-02-10T08:23:09-07:00","epub","9780393609097","ff:g/neil-gaiman/norse-mythology,goodreads:30809689,amazon:039360909X,isbn:9780393609097,mobi-asin:B01HQA6EOC,barnesnoble:w/norse-mythology-neil-gaiman/1124023596,google:4rXJDAEACAAJ","eng","2016-12-31T23:00:00-07:00","","1.0","831940","Fantasy","Norse Mythology","505","68329d28-cc7b-4b0f-a627-eb90b351774d" +","2017-02-10T08:23:09-07:00","epub","9780393609097","barnesnoble:w/norse-mythology-neil-gaiman/1124023596,isbn:9780393609097,goodreads:30809689,google:4rXJDAEACAAJ,mobi-asin:B01HQA6EOC,amazon:039360909X,ff:g/neil-gaiman/norse-mythology","eng","2016-12-31T23:00:00-07:00","","1.0","831940","Fantasy","Norse Mythology","505","68329d28-cc7b-4b0f-a627-eb90b351774d" "Manson, Mark","

In this generation-defining self-help guide, a superstar blogger cuts through the crap to show us how to stop trying to be ""positive"" all the time so that we can truly become better, happier people.

For decades, we've been told that positive thinking is the key to a happy, rich life. ""F**k positivity,"" Mark Manson says. ""Let's be honest, shit is f**ked and we have to live with it."" In his wildly popular Internet blog, Mason doesn't sugarcoat or equivocate. He tells it like it is—a dose of raw, refreshing, honest truth that is sorely lacking today. The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F**k is his antidote to the coddling, let's-all-feel-good mindset that has infected American society and spoiled a generation, rewarding them with gold medals just for showing up.

If you need to rally fellow employees, customers, investors, believers, hobbyists, or readers around an idea, this book will demystify the process.

It's human nature to seek out tribes, be they religious, ethnic, economic, political, or even musical (think of the Deadheads). Now the Internet has eliminated the barriers of geography, cost, and time. Social media gives anyone who wants to make a difference the tools to do so.

With his signature wit and storytelling flair, Godin presents the three steps to building a tribe: the desire to change things, the ability to connect a tribe, and the willingness to lead.

As the acclaimed Patternist science fiction series begins, two immortals meet in the long-ago past—and mankind's destiny is changed forever.


For a thousand years, Doro has cultivated a small African village, carefully breeding its people in search of seemingly unattainable perfection. He survives through the centuries by stealing the bodies of others, a technique he has so thoroughly mastered that nothing on Earth can kill him. But when a gang of New World slavers destroys his village, ruining his grand experiment, Doro is forced to go west and begin anew.

He meets Anyanwu, a centuries-old woman whose means of immortality are as kind as his are cruel. She is a shapeshifter, capable of healing with a kiss, and she recognizes Doro as a tyrant. Though many humans have tried to kill them, these two demi-gods have never before met a rival. Now they begin a struggle that will last centuries and permanently alter the nature of humanity.

#1 New York Times bestseller

The fiery U.S. Senator from Massachusetts and bestselling author offers a passionate, inspiring book about why our middle class is under siege and how we can win the fight to save it

Senator Elizabeth Warren has long been an outspoken champion of America's middle class, and by the time the people of Massachusetts elected her in 2012, she had become one of the country's leading progressive voices. Now, at a perilous moment for our nation, she has written a book that is at once an illuminating account of how we built the strongest middle class in history, a scathing indictment of those who have spent the past thirty-five years undermining working families, and a rousing call to action.

Warren grew up in Oklahoma, and she's never forgotten how difficult it was for her mother and father to hold on at the ragged edge of the middle class.

On Lisp explains the reasons behind Lisp's growing popularity as a mainstream programming language. On Lisp is a comprehensive study of advanced Lisp techniques, with bottom-up programming as the unifying theme. It gives the first complete description of macros and macro applications. The book also covers important subjects related to bottom-up programming, including functional programming, rapid prototyping, interactive development, and embedded languages. The final chapter takes a deeper look at object-oriented programming than previous Lisp books, showing the step-by-step construction of a working model of the Common Lisp Object System (CLOS). As well as an indispensable reference, On Lisp is a source of software. Its examples form a library of functions and macros that readers will be able to use in their own Lisp programs. -","2017-07-28T14:18:43-06:00","pdf","9780130305527","isbn:9780130305527,google:jbJQAAAAMAAJ,amazon:0130305529","eng","1993-09-09T00:00:00-06:00","","1.0","1030575","computers","On Lisp: Advanced Techniques for Common Lisp","605","a9226747-5338-4ae4-ab8f-f8bad3d8fb20" +","2017-07-28T14:18:43-06:00","pdf","9780130305527","isbn:9780130305527,amazon:0130305529,google:jbJQAAAAMAAJ","eng","1993-09-09T00:00:00-06:00","","1.0","1030575","computers","On Lisp: Advanced Techniques for Common Lisp","605","a9226747-5338-4ae4-ab8f-f8bad3d8fb20" "Fowler, Martin & Beck, Kent & Brant, John & Opdyke, William & Roberts, Don","As the application of object technology--particularly the Java programming language--has become commonplace, a new problem has emerged to confront the software development community. Significant numbers of poorly designed programs have been created by less-experienced developers, resulting in applications that are inefficient and hard to maintain and extend. Increasingly, software system professionals are discovering just how difficult it is to work with these inherited, ""non-optimal"" applications. For several years, expert-level object programmers have employed a growing collection of techniques to improve the structural integrity and performance of such existing software programs. Referred to as ""refactoring,"" these practices have remained in the domain of experts because no attempt has been made to transcribe the lore into a form that all developers could use. . .until now. In Refactoring: Improving the Design of Existing Code, renowned object technology mentor Martin Fowler breaks new ground, demystifying these master practices and demonstrating how software practitioners can realize the significant benefits of this new process.   With proper training a skilled system designer can take a bad design and rework it into well-designed, robust code. In this book, Martin Fowler shows you where opportunities for refactoring typically can be found, and how to go about reworking a bad design into a good one. Each refactoring step is simple--seemingly too simple to be worth doing. Refactoring may involve moving a field from one class to another, or pulling some code out of a method to turn it into its own method, or even pushing some code up or down a hierarchy. While these individual steps may seem elementary, the cumulative effect of such small changes can radically improve the design. Refactoring is a proven way to prevent software decay.   In addition to discussing the various techniques of refactoring, the author provides a detailed catalog of more than seventy proven refactorings with helpful pointers that teach you when to apply them; step-by-step instructions for applying each refactoring; and an example illustrating how the refactoring works. The illustrative examples are written in Java, but the ideas are applicable to any object-oriented programming language.

AND HE'S THE BIGGEST THING IN POLITICS.

He is the perfect presidential candidate. Conservatives love his hard-hitting Republican résumé. Liberals love his peaceful, progressive practicality. The media can't get enough of his larger-than-life personality. And all the American people love that he's an honest, hard-working man who tells it like it is.

""Here in the Just City you will become your best selves. You will learn and grow and strive to be excellent.""


Created as an experiment by the time-traveling goddess Pallas Athene, the Just City is a planned community, populated by over ten thousand children and a few hundred adult teachers from all eras of history, along with some handy robots from the far human future—all set down together on a Mediterranean island in the distant past.


The student Simmea, born an Egyptian farmer's daughter sometime between 500 and 1000 A.D, is a brilliant child, eager for knowledge, ready to strive to be her best self. The teacher Maia was once Ethel, a young Victorian lady of much learning and few prospects, who prayed to Pallas Athene in an unguarded moment during a trip to Rome—and, in an instant, found herself in the Just City with grey-eyed Athene standing unmistakably before her.

    It starts with death, with a murdered son and a missing daughter.

Tribes are more powerful than teams, companies, or even CEOs, and yet their key leverage points have not been mapped—until now. In Tribal Leadership, Dave Logan, John King, and Halee Fischer-Wright show leaders how to assess their organization's tribal culture on a scale from one to five and then implement specific tools to elevate the stage to the next. The result is unprecedented success.

    There is a distinct hint of Armageddon in the air. According to The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch (recorded, thankfully, in 1655, before she blew up her entire village and all its inhabitants, who had gathered to watch her burn), the world will end on a Saturday. Next Saturday, in fact. So the armies of Good and Evil are amassing, the Four Bikers of the Apocalypse are revving up their mighty hogs and hitting the road, and the world's last two remaining witch-finders are getting ready to fight the good fight, armed with awkwardly antiquated instructions and stick pins. Atlantis is rising, frogs are falling, tempers are flaring. . . . Right. Everything appears to be going according to Divine Plan.

    Lazlo Ratesic is 54, a 19-year veteran of the Speculative Service, from a family of law enforcement and in a strange alternate society that values law and truth above all else. This is how Laz must, by law, introduce himself, lest he fail to disclose his true purpose or nature, and by doing so, be guilty of a lie.


    Laz is a resident of The Golden State, a nation resembling California, where like-minded Americans retreated after the erosion of truth and the spread of lies made public life, and governance, increasingly impossible. There, surrounded by the high walls of compulsory truth-telling, knowingly contradicting the truth—the Objectively So—is the greatest possible crime. Stopping those crimes, punishing them, is Laz's job.

She describes a nightmare of traumas, destructive relationships, and a tragic combination of neglect and abuse. She explains how specific events and general family patterns created the damaged man who currently occupies the Oval Office, including the strange and harmful relationship between Fred Trump and his two oldest sons, Fred Jr. and Donald. A firsthand witness to countless holiday meals and interactions, Mary brings an incisive wit and unexpected humor to sometimes grim, often confounding family events. She recounts in unsparing detail everything from her uncle Donald’s place in the family spotlight and Ivana’s penchant for regifting to her grandmother’s frequent injuries and illnesses and the appalling way Donald, Fred Trump’s favorite son, dismissed and derided him when he began to succumb to Alzheimer’s. Numerous pundits, armchair psychologists, and journalists have sought to parse Donald J. Trump’s lethal flaws. Mary L. Trump has the education, insight, and intimate familiarity needed to reveal what makes Donald, and the rest of her clan, tick.

Now Shevek, a brilliant physicist, is determined to reunite the two planets, which have been divided by centuries of distrust. He will seek answers, question the unquestionable, and attempt to tear down the walls of hatred that have kept them apart.

    The Factory Witches of Lowell is a riveting historical fantasy about witches going on strike in the historical mill-town of Lowell, Massachusetts.

    Faced with abominable working conditions, unsympathetic owners, and hard-hearted managers, the mill girls of Lowell have had enough. They're going on strike, and they have a secret weapon on their side: a little witchcraft to ensure that no one leaves the picket line.

    For the young women of Lowell, Massachusetts, freedom means fair wages for fair work, decent room and board, and a chance to escape the cotton mills before lint stops up their lungs. When the Boston owners decide to raise the workers' rent, the girls go on strike. Their ringleader is Judith Whittier, a newcomer to Lowell but not to class warfare. Judith has already seen one strike fold and she doesn't intend to see it again.

Obama takes readers on a compelling journey from his earliest political aspirations to the pivotal Iowa caucus victory that demonstrated the power of grassroots activism to the watershed night of November 4, 2008, when he was elected 44th president of the United States, becoming the first African American to hold the nation’s highest office. Reflecting on the presidency, he offers a unique and thoughtful exploration of both the awesome reach and the limits of presidential power, as well as singular insights into the dynamics of U.S. partisan politics and international diplomacy. Obama brings readers inside the Oval Office and the White House Situation Room, and to Moscow, Cairo, Beijing, and points beyond. We are privy to his thoughts as he assembles his cabinet, wrestles with a global financial crisis, takes the measure of Vladimir Putin, overcomes seemingly insurmountable odds to secure passage of the Affordable Care Act, clashes with generals about U.S. strategy in Afghanistan, tackles Wall Street reform, responds to the devastating  *Deepwater Horizon*  blowout, and authorizes Operation Neptune’s Spear, which leads to the death of Osama bin Laden. *A Promised Land*  is extraordinarily intimate and introspective—the story of one man’s bet with history, the faith of a community organizer tested on the world stage. Obama is candid about the balancing act of running for office as a Black American, bearing the expectations of a generation buoyed by messages of “hope and change,” and meeting the moral challenges of high-stakes decision-making. He is frank about the forces that opposed him at home and abroad, open about how living in the White House affected his wife and daughters, and unafraid to reveal self-doubt and disappointment. Yet he never wavers from his belief that inside the great, ongoing American experiment, progress is always possible. This beautifully written and powerful book captures Barack Obama’s conviction that democracy is not a gift from on high but something founded on empathy and common understanding and built together, day by day.

Today, such language no longer sounds like hyperbole but poses, instead, a very real threat to our freedom and our way of life. InAmerican Fascists,Chris Hedges, veteran journalist and author of the National Book Award finalistWar Is a Force That Gives Us Meaning,challenges the Christian Right's religious legitimacy and argues that at its core it is a mass movement fueled by unbridled nationalism and a hatred for the open society.Hedges, who grew up in rural parishes in upstate New York where his father was a Presbyterian pastor, attacks the movement as someone steeped in the Bible and Christian tradition. He points to the hundreds of senators and members of Congress who have earned between 80 and 100 percent approval ratings from the three most influential Christian Right advocacy groups as one of many signs that the movement is burrowing deep inside the American government to subvert it. The movement's call to dismantle the wall between church and state and the intolerance it preaches against all who do not conform to its warped vision of a Christian America are pumped into tens of millions of American homes through Christian television and radio stations, as well as reinforced through the curriculum in Christian schools. The movement's yearning for apocalyptic violence and its assault on dispassionate, intellectual inquiry are laying the foundation for a new, frightening America.American Fascists,which includes interviews and coverage of events such as pro-life rallies and weeklong classes on conversion techniques, examines the movement's origins, its driving motivations and its dark ideological underpinnings. Hedges argues that the movement currently resembles the young fascist movements in Italy and Germany in the 1920s and '30s, movements that often masked the full extent of their drive for totalitarianism and were willing to make concessions until they achieved unrivaled power. The Christian Right, like these early fascist movements, does not openly call for dictatorship, nor does it usephysical violence to suppress opposition. In short, the movement is not yet revolutionary. But the ideological architecture of a Christian fascism is being cemented in place. The movement has roused its followers to a fever pitch of despair and fury. All it will take, Hedges writes, is one more national crisis on the order of September 11 for the Christian Right to make a concerted drive to destroy American democracy. The movement awaits a crisis. At that moment they will reveal themselves for what they truly are -- the American heirs to fascism. Hedges issues a potent, impassioned warning. We face an imminent threat. His book reminds us of the dangers liberal, democratic societies face when they tolerate the intolerant. -","2021-06-02T13:10:20-06:00","epub","9780099499220","isbn:9780099499220,google:BusC7zEgyVgC,amazon:0099499223","eng","2006-01-14T16:00:00-07:00","","1.0","362635","Religion; Politics & State, Political Ideologies, Religion, Political Freedom & Security, Government, Fascism, Religious Aspects, Fascism & Totalitarianism, Fundamentalism, Christianity, United States, Fascism - United States, Conservatism & Liberalism, Conservatism, Political Science, Denominations, Fundamentalism - United States, Conservatism - Religious Aspects - Christianity, General, History","American Fascists: The Christian Right and the War on America","1349","d6f3e322-e93f-493e-98f0-ec8c6bec2020" +","2021-06-02T13:10:20-06:00","epub","9780099499220","isbn:9780099499220,amazon:0099499223,google:BusC7zEgyVgC","eng","2006-01-14T16:00:00-07:00","","1.0","362635","Religion; Politics & State, Political Ideologies, Religion, Political Freedom & Security, Government, Fascism, Religious Aspects, Fascism & Totalitarianism, Fundamentalism, Christianity, United States, Fascism - United States, Conservatism & Liberalism, Conservatism, Political Science, Denominations, Fundamentalism - United States, Conservatism - Religious Aspects - Christianity, General, History","American Fascists: The Christian Right and the War on America","1349","d6f3e322-e93f-493e-98f0-ec8c6bec2020" "Gelderloos, Peter & Gelderloos, Peter","","2021-06-02T13:30:36-06:00","epub","","","eng","2010-06-15T00:00:00-06:00","","1.0","291484","economy, Environment, practice, revolution, society, introductory","Anarchy Works","1350","1a561584-018c-4884-a9fd-944b621614c4" "Thornley, Kerry","Copyright 1991, 1997 Kerry W.

    For the first time—and in the best translation ever—the complete Book of Disquiet, a masterpiece beyond comparison

    The Book of Disquiet is the Portuguese modernist master Fernando Pessoa's greatest literary achievement. An ""autobiography"" or ""diary"" containing exquisite melancholy observations, aphorisms, and ruminations, this classic work grapples with all the eternal questions. Now, for the first time the texts are presented chronologically, in a complete English edition by master translator Margaret Jull Costa. Most of the texts in The Book of Disquiet are written under the semi-heteronym Bernardo Soares, an assistant bookkeeper. This existential masterpiece was first published in Portuguese in 1982, forty-seven years after Pessoa's death. A monumental literary event, this exciting, new, complete edition spans Fernando Pessoa's entire writing life.","2021-06-04T11:24:05-06:00","epub","9780811226943","isbn:9780811226943","eng,por","2017-08-28T18:00:00-06:00","","1.0","16964117","","Book of Disquiet, The","1352","38c6175d-793d-4eb1-b7b2-5af7ac09ff85" @@ -2256,11 +2256,38 @@ Under the influence of their charismatic classics professor, a group of clever, ","2021-06-13T22:18:19-06:00","epub","978-0-307-76569-7","isbn:978-0-307-76569-7","eng","2011-10-26T00:00:00-06:00","","1.0","3231867","","Secret History, The","1356","08ed1812-f21b-4fee-95f5-fbb497987ac3" "Lynch, Scott","“Remarkable . . .

    An orphan’s life is harsh—and often short—in the mysterious island city of Camorr. But young Locke Lamora dodges death and slavery, becoming a thief under the tutelage of a gifted con artist. As leader of the band of light-fingered brothers known as the Gentleman Bastards, Locke is soon infamous, fooling even the underworld’s most feared ruler. But in the shadows lurks someone still more ambitious and deadly. Faced with a bloody coup that threatens to destroy everyone and everything that holds meaning in his mercenary life, Locke vows to beat the enemy at his own brutal game—or die trying.

    Thousands of years in the future, humanity is no longer alone in a universe where a mind's potential is determined by its location in space, from superintelligent entities in the Transcend, to the limited minds of the Unthinking Depths, where only simple creatures, and technology, can function. Nobody knows what strange force partitioned space into these ""regions of thought,"" but when the warring Straumli realm use an ancient Transcendent artifact as a weapon, they unwittingly unleash an awesome power that destroys thousands of worlds and enslaves all natural and artificial intelligence.

    The ultimate rapid language-learning guide! For those who've despaired of ever learning a foreign language, here, finally, is a book that will make the words stick.At thirty years old, Gabriel Wyner speaks six languages fluently. He didn't learn them in school -- who does? -- rather, he learned them in the past few years, working on his own and practicing on the subway, using simple techniques and free online resources. In Fluent Forever Wyner reveals what he's discovered.

    The greatest challenge to learning a foreign language is the challenge of memory; there are just too many words and too many rules. For every new word we learn, we seem to forget two old ones, and as a result, fluency can seem out of reach. Fluent Forever tackles this challenge head-on. With empathy for the language-challenged and abundant humor, Wyner deconstructs the learning process, revealing how to build a foreign language in your mind from the ground up.

With a career spanning more than four decades, Wainwright has established himself as one of the most enduring singer-songwriters who emerged from the late 1960s. Not only does he perform regularly across America and in Europe, but he is a sought after actor, having appeared in many movies and TV series.
    There is probably no singer-songwriter who has so blatantly inserted himself into his songs. The songs can be laugh-out-loud funny, but they also can cut to the bone.

His fleeting fame as the drummer for a one-hit wonder rock band is nearly a decade behind him. He lives in the Versailles, an apartment building filled almost exclusively with divorced men like him, and makes a living playing in wedding bands. His ex-wife, Denise, is about to marry a guy Silver can’t quite bring himself to hate. And his Princeton-bound teenage daughter Casey has just confided in him that she’s pregnant—because Silver is the one she cares least about letting down.  So when he learns that his heart requires emergency, lifesaving surgery, Silver makes the radical decision to refuse the operation, choosing instead to use what little time he has left to repair his relationship with Casey, become a better man, and live in the moment, even if that moment isn't destined to last very long. As his exasperated family looks on, Silver grapples with the ultimate question of whether or not his own life is worth saving. @@ -1804,7 +1804,7 @@ Index 347 Illustrated Light on Yoga Fri, 18 Sep 2015 18:00:17 -0600 378163be-0d97-4401-87b4-0ac096e36559 - <dl><dt>Author</dt><dd>Iyengar, B.

And you can use it to guide you in the actual process of construction. After a ten-year silence, Christopher Alexander and his colleagues at the Center for Environmental Structure are now publishing a major statement in the form of three books which will, in their words, "lay the basis for an entirely new approach to architecture, building and planning, which will we hope replace existing ideas and practices entirely." The three books are *The Timeless Way of Building* , *The Oregon Experiment* , and this book, *A Pattern Language*. At the core of these books is the idea that people should design for themselves their own houses, streets, and communities. This idea may be radical (it implies a radical transformation of the architectural profession) but it comes simply from the observation that most of the wonderful places of the world were not made by architects but by the people. At the core of the books, too, is the point that in designing their environments people always rely on certain "languages," which, like the languages we speak, allow them to articulate and communicate an infinite variety of designs within a forma system which gives them coherence. This book provides a language of this kind. It will enable a person to make a design for almost any kind of building, or any part of the built environment. @@ -2072,7 +2072,7 @@ But once the Zeroes begin to work, they uncover secrets that would make even the Name of the Wind, The Thu, 29 Oct 2015 07:39:47 -0600 80b58c12-2637-4ee1-94e1-5278a8a34abc - <dl><dt>Author</dt><dd>Rothfuss, Patrick</dd><dt>Formats</dt><dd>epub</dd><dt>Isbn</dt><dd>9781473211896</dd><dt>Identifiers</dt><dd>isbn:9781473211896,google:c-qcoAEACAAJ,amazon:B0010SKUYM</dd><dt>Languages</dt><dd>eng</dd><dt>Pubdate</dt><dd>2007-03-26T18:00:00-06:00</dd><dt>Series</dt><dd>The Kingkiller Chronicle</dd><dt>Series index</dt><dd>1.0</dd><dt>Size</dt><dd>1893802</dd><dt>Title</dt><dd>Name of the Wind, The</dd><dt>Id</dt><dd>279</dd></dl>**Discover #1 *New York Times* -bestselling Patrick Rothfuss’ epic fantasy series, The Kingkiller Chronicle.** + <dl><dt>Author</dt><dd>Rothfuss, Patrick</dd><dt>Formats</dt><dd>epub</dd><dt>Isbn</dt><dd>9781473211896</dd><dt>Identifiers</dt><dd>isbn:9781473211896,amazon:B0010SKUYM,google:c-qcoAEACAAJ</dd><dt>Languages</dt><dd>eng</dd><dt>Pubdate</dt><dd>2007-03-26T18:00:00-06:00</dd><dt>Series</dt><dd>The Kingkiller Chronicle</dd><dt>Series index</dt><dd>1.0</dd><dt>Size</dt><dd>1893802</dd><dt>Title</dt><dd>Name of the Wind, The</dd><dt>Id</dt><dd>279</dd></dl>**Discover #1 *New York Times* -bestselling Patrick Rothfuss’ epic fantasy series, The Kingkiller Chronicle.** **** “I just love the world of Patrick Rothfuss.” —Lin-Manuel Miranda • “He’s bloody good, this Rothfuss guy.” —George R.

The basic plot is vintage Dickens: an inheritance up for grabs, a murder, a rocky romance or two, plenty of skullduggery, and a host of unforgettable secondary characters. But in this final outing the author's heroes are more flawed, his villains more sympathetic, and the story as a whole more harrowing and less sentimental. The mood is set in the opening scene in which a riverman, Gaffer Hexam, and his daughter Lizzie troll the Thames searching for drowned men whose pockets Gaffer will rifle before turning the body over to the authorities. On this particular night Gaffer finds a corpse that is later identified as that of John Harmon, who was returning from abroad to claim a large fortune when he was apparently murdered and thrown into the river. @@ -3347,7 +3347,7 @@ Copyright 1999 Reed Business Information, Inc.  Pathfinder Tue, 01 Nov 2016 14:49:16 -0600 b706903d-ede0-4d8c-b92c-d9316a10a4f0 - <dl><dt>Author</dt><dd>Card, Orson Scott</dd><dt>Formats</dt><dd>epub</dd><dt>Isbn</dt><dd>9781416991793</dd><dt>Identifiers</dt><dd>isbn:9781416991793,google:QLnfZW-l_EwC,amazon:1416991794</dd><dt>Languages</dt><dd>eng</dd><dt>Pubdate</dt><dd>2011-10-04T00:00:00-06:00</dd><dt>Series</dt><dd>Pathfinder</dd><dt>Series index</dt><dd>1.0</dd><dt>Size</dt><dd>2078227</dd><dt>Tags</dt><dd>Juvenile Fiction, Action & Adventure, Science & Technology, Fantasy & Magic, Science Fiction</dd><dt>Title</dt><dd>Pathfinder</dd><dt>Id</dt><dd>449</dd></dl>From the author of *Ender’s Game* , the soon-to-be major motion picture! + <dl><dt>Author</dt><dd>Card, Orson Scott</dd><dt>Formats</dt><dd>epub</dd><dt>Isbn</dt><dd>9781416991793</dd><dt>Identifiers</dt><dd>isbn:9781416991793,amazon:1416991794,google:QLnfZW-l_EwC</dd><dt>Languages</dt><dd>eng</dd><dt>Pubdate</dt><dd>2011-10-04T00:00:00-06:00</dd><dt>Series</dt><dd>Pathfinder</dd><dt>Series index</dt><dd>1.0</dd><dt>Size</dt><dd>2078227</dd><dt>Tags</dt><dd>Juvenile Fiction, Action & Adventure, Science & Technology, Fantasy & Magic, Science Fiction</dd><dt>Title</dt><dd>Pathfinder</dd><dt>Id</dt><dd>449</dd></dl>From the author of *Ender’s Game* , the soon-to-be major motion picture!

Now he turns his attention back to the source, presenting a bravura rendition of the great northern tales. In *Norse Mythology* , Gaiman stays true to the myths in envisioning the major Norse pantheon: Odin, the highest of the high, wise, daring, and cunning; Thor, Odin’s son, incredibly strong yet not the wisest of gods; and Loki, son of a giant, blood brother to Odin and a trickster and unsurpassable manipulator. Gaiman fashions these primeval stories into a novelistic arc that begins with the genesis of the legendary nine worlds and delves into the exploits of deities, dwarfs, and giants. Once, when Thor’s hammer is stolen, Thor must disguise himself as a woman, difficult with his beard and huge appetite, to steal it back. More poignant is the tale in which the blood of Kvasir, the most sagacious of gods, is turned into a mead that infuses drinkers with poetry. The work culminates in Ragnarok, the twilight of the gods and rebirth of a new time and people. @@ -3883,7 +3883,7 @@ Through Gaiman’s deft and witty prose emerge these gods with their fiercely co If Hemingway Wrote JavaScript Mon, 20 Feb 2017 21:08:23 -0700 f1248306-8c9e-452d-8c60-d9131528d8db - <dl><dt>Author</dt><dd>Croll, Angus</dd><dt>Formats</dt><dd>pdf</dd><dt>Isbn</dt><dd>9781593275853</dd><dt>Identifiers</dt><dd>isbn:9781593275853,google:JktNBQAAQBAJ,amazon:1593275854</dd><dt>Languages</dt><dd>eng</dd><dt>Pubdate</dt><dd>2014-10-14T00:00:00-06:00</dd><dt>Series index</dt><dd>1.0</dd><dt>Size</dt><dd>5696312</dd><dt>Tags</dt><dd>computers, JavaScript, Programming, Programming Languages</dd><dt>Title</dt><dd>If Hemingway Wrote JavaScript</dd><dt>Id</dt><dd>512</dd></dl>What if William Shakespeare were asked to generate the Fibonacci series or Jane Austen had to write a factorial program?

Now, at last, there is a coherent theory which describes in modern terms an architecture as ancient as human society itself. *The Timeless Way of Building* is the introductory volume in the Center for Environmental Structure series, Christopher Alexander presents in it a new theory of architecture, building, and planning which has at its core that age-old process by which the people of a society have always pulled the order of their world from their own being. Alexander writes, "There is one timeless way of building. It is thousands of years old, and the same today as it has always been. The great traditional buildings of the past, the villages and tents and temples in which man feels at home, have always been made by people who were very close to the center of this way. And as you will see, this way will lead anyone who looks for it to buildings which are themselves as ancient in their form as the trees and hills, and as our faces are." @@ -4485,7 +4485,7 @@ Sometimes a book goes too far.

Written during the Great Depression, when the country was largely oblivious to Hitler’s aggression, it juxtaposes sharp political satire with the chillingly realistic rise of a president who becomes a dictator to save the nation from welfare cheats, sex, crime, and a liberal press.

Hedges argues that the movement currently resembles the young fascist movements in Italy and Germany in the 1920s and '30s, movements that often masked the full extent of their drive for totalitarianism and were willing to make concessions until they achieved unrivaled power. The Christian Right, like these early fascist movements, does not openly call for dictatorship, nor does it usephysical violence to suppress opposition. In short, the movement is not yet revolutionary. But the ideological architecture of a Christian fascism is being cemented in place.

As a member of the Citizen Potawatomi Nation, she embraces the notion that plants and animals are our oldest teachers. In <i>Braiding Sweetgrass</i>, Kimmerer brings these two lenses of knowledge together to take us on "a journey that is every bit as mythic as it is scientific, as sacred as it is historical, as clever as it is wise" (Elizabeth Gilbert).<br> Drawing on her life as an indigenous scientist, and as a woman, Kimmerer shows how other living beings&#8212;asters and goldenrod, strawberries and squash, salamanders, algae, and sweetgrass&#8212;offer us gifts and lessons, even if we've forgotten how to hear their voices.

He is the former husband of Kate McGarrigle and Suzzy Roche, and father of Rufus Wainwright, Martha Wainwright, Lucy Wainwright Roche, and Lexie Kelly Wainwright. With a career spanning more than four decades, Wainwright has established himself as one of the most enduring singer-songwriters who emerged from the late 1960s. Not only does he perform regularly across America and in Europe, but he is a sought after actor, having appeared in many movies and TV series.<br>There is probably no singer-songwriter who has so blatantly inserted himself into his songs. The songs can be laugh-out-loud funny, but they also can cut to the bone. In this memoir, Wainwright details the family history his lyrics have referenced and the fractured relationships among generations: the alcoholism, the infidelities, the competitiveness&#8212;as well... + Wainwright, Loudon + + + I'll Sleep When I'm Dead + Sat, 14 Aug 2021 10:42:05 -0600 + aee5d019-9509-45c5-b8b1-b252efb804c0 + <dl><dt>Author</dt><dd>Crystal Zevon</dd><dt>Formats</dt><dd>epub</dd><dt>Isbn</dt><dd>9780061744990</dd><dt>Identifiers</dt><dd>isbn:9780061744990</dd><dt>Languages</dt><dd>eng</dd><dt>Pubdate</dt><dd>2007-08-15T00:00:00-06:00</dd><dt>Series index</dt><dd>1.0</dd><dt>Size</dt><dd>5795761</dd><dt>Title</dt><dd>I'll Sleep When I'm Dead</dd><dt>Id</dt><dd>1377</dd></dl><p>When Warren Zevon died in 2003, he left behind both a fanatical cult following and a rich catalog of dark, witty rock-n-roll classics that includes "Lawyers, Guns, and Money," "Excitable Boy," and the immortal "Werewolves of London." He also left a trove of misadventures and anecdotes, a veritable rock opera of drugs, women, celebrity, high times, and hard ways. As Warren once said, "I got to be Jim Morrison a lot longer than he did."<p><i>I'll Sleep When I'm Dead</i> is an intimate and unusual oral history of one of our most original and distinctive rock-and-roll antiheroes. Narrated by his former wife and longtime co-conspirator, Crystal Zevon, the book draws on over eighty interviews with the likes of Bruce Springsteen, Stephen King, Billy Bob Thornton, Jackson Browne, Bonnie Raitt, and countless others who came under his mischievous spell. The result is a raucous and moving tale of love and obsession, creative genius and epic bad behavior.... + Crystal Zevon + \ No newline at end of file
